Correct.
As for the three's name, it's Peach Parasol, Blaze Heart &, Orge Prison they all belong to Legion Prominence defying the treaty. Oh, yeah, one more thing. Himi is better translated as "Looking at ice" not Ice-eyed. |

To be honest, I'm not thrilled about adding more and more pseudo-competitor girls to the harem. I'd rather want to have some more development with KYH. |

Wait, what? Scarlet Rain's legion members defying the treaty? But anyways, I like the Miko-type Flame Fletcher Duel Avatar.
@Mentar Is it Kawahara-sensei's penchant for harem building or something else? I mean, look at SAO. More and more female players are trying to feel up to Kirito over the course of the story. |

True but he should at least elevate Haru's and KYH's relationship above mentor-student but below lovers as progress.

The thing is: I don't read Accel World for Haru. And I most certainly don't read it for Rin. And while I appreciate Niko and Raker to spice things up, it's mostly because they add new facets to the main relationship which is Haru-KYH. So, adding one loli after another may be tolerable as long as the main relationship isn't neglected. OreShura is a very good example how this is being done properly. Unfortunately, based on the spoilers I've read, this is not the case here.
Now don't get me wrong, this is purely my personal opinion, and other readers may come to completely different conclusions. But based on what I've heard, Accel World gets more and more diluted. The crown jewel of the story whose character development and whose mysteries behind her have been carrying the storyline so far is KYH. Reducing her to a stagnant one-of-many in favor of adding more crying lolis is about the best way I can think of to make me lose interest. Too bad. |

That said, Accel World is a unique series. The author managed to show you can break the cookie cutter protagonist model and flourish, let alone sell. The ending may be really far off, but it's one I want to see. Compared to other seinen and shounen series, this one actually managed to interest me (though I can't convince you how much) to watch and read every bit. You're still entitled to your opinion, though, so this is mine. |
