Hunter of the Perished World

“Tsk.”

Leona is still not relieved.

It's not over yet. The slater holding the RPG7 and the other are waiting outside. Leona picks up the dropped bow and arrow and makes her move.

“Hey! Did you go behind my back? ”

Slater shouts, and this time Leona shouts without revealing herself out the window.

“Tell him he's dead, you bastards! ”

Instead of answering, I heard the rocket's roar.

Boom, boom!

The rocket launched in the direction of the sound once more, but Leona has already fled a distance from the shouting position.

If your friend dies, you don't have to provoke them.

‘Maybe the building will collapse. ’

The rocket has enough destructive power to blow through the walls of the building. Leona was fed up with the inevitable power.

‘If I go down and run, I'll die from that weird thing.... If I stay here, I'm gonna keep firing at that thing, and the building's gonna collapse and die. ’

A few rocket guns may weaken an old building and break it down. All the buildings at Ard Point were once prisons, so they were fortified. That's how long we can hold out.

You have to make a choice.

“Hey, kid! Come and shoot me again! I'm right here. Mmm-hmm?”

Taunt no longer prevails. He kept telling me if he knew it.

“Shut up, you're just going to blow up the building? 36974; 27472;?"

“Why? You should see the look on that bitch's face, though. ”

“Suit yourself, asshole. I'll stick my face out. ”

Chug, chug, chug!

In front of the puppy assembling the warhead, the bald head almost died.

“Hey! Shoot me!" You look so cute with those fluttery arms. Aww? ”

Leona has already come down to the third floor.

‘We're down one floor, so we might be able to hit it this time. ’

We have to kill them somehow and move on. I hate to be the one to taunt, but I need to put my head out the window and shoot an arrow. Leona pushes out her face and shoots a bow, and a rocket launches where the enemy reveals her. It's like a mole.

Leona desperately pulled the bow and was ready to get up.

Queek for one second.Aim and aim your arrows during that time. The remaining arrows are three and three unless you see a battle. Leona, who hid herself under the window frame, aimed at the demonstration like lightning.

Paan!

Along with the sound of the waves, the arrow leaves the protest. Leona bows her head without looking for the arrow.

Bam!

However, the sound of helpless arrows, of course, did not hit. Leona bites her teeth.

I can't hit it! ’

It's absurd to kill an enemy with a weapon you've never used before.

“What! You can't shoot me in the face! Guess what? Guess what…."

Boom!

“Huh?"

Suddenly, with the sound from the rear, the head of the kid aiming the rocket gun toward where Leona was. Baldy turns around and sees his colleague explode like watermelon.

He froze as he looked back at the gun aimed at him.

The man aiming SAIGA12 at his head mutters.

“That's the wish, but you can't grant it. ”

“No, brother... That's not what I meant... ”

Boom!

That was the will of bald hair.

Fluffy

In an instant, two people blew their heads off, and Leona knew what this was.

Whatever it is, it sounds like Jean's weapon. Leona jumps up and looks out the window.

Leona's two enemies, who felt the greatest crisis, were crippled in less than five seconds. Two 12-gauge buckshots, and that was enough.

Leona sees the man standing between the two flying slatters and shouts.

“Mister!”

Gene was there.

Leona couldn't hide her joy from her face.

Leona wanted to go down, but she couldn't.

“Ah…. Wh-what's the matter...? ”

Leona can't get up because her legs are loose. As soon as she feels safe, her whole body relaxes, she desperately tries to move, but her body doesn't move.

Gene climbs up to where Leona is. The Gene on Saiga's shoulders settles in front of Leona.

Gene doesn't say anything. Leona didn't ask how Jean got here and what she knew.

Long silence.

It was Leona who broke the silence first.

Leona vomits with her head down.

“I'm not afraid, I'm lying. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm so scared, my heart's gonna burst. ”

Leona confesses her miserable heart. You can't be afraid. There's no way you won't feel fear. It doesn't make sense for butchers who eat humans not to be afraid to surround themselves and roam around.

“I just don't cry or pee or run away. I'd rather die every time I go through something like this. ”

It is not because he is a child, but it is natural for an adult to feel fear. I feel like I want to die more than I want to be killed. Leona chews back on her fears and fears and destroys herself.

I obsessively think that I can't survive being this fragile.

“I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm an idiot... ”

Leona trembles because she hates herself for not being energized by her pulse. Gene looked at Leona like that and said,

Leona stares at Gin and says, "Gin passes."

“It's hard not to surrender. ”

“ ……. ”

“But you didn't surrender this time, and that's enough. ”

Isn't that enough?

“You're doing just fine. ”

I didn't give in. I'm still holding out pretty well.

Leona and Jean squat in silence, waiting for dawn at the point of their destruction.

The next morning.

"Then why did you come?"

At last, Leona, who was heartbroken, came to her senses and asked. He then poked Gin in the back with a gentle smile.

"Are you back because you're worried about me? Huh?"

"I'm here for the receivables."

Gene gives Leona a hand, as if to say no nonsense.

"500 chips to go. Give it to me."

"Ha, ha ha…. Of course..."

Leona sighs as if she knew what to say.

"It's a problem that I didn't mention the money, but don't you think it's a bit of a problem for you, knowing and sneaking over?"

Jean says, and Leona pouts.

"You have to take care of yourself. What do I care if he doesn't? I'm not a faggot, and you're running away, and you don't get paid! You had to give her a hug?"

"……."

Leona's flattering refusal made her mute with honey. But that was also a moment.

"Well, that's why I came to get it."

Gene, who came for a bunch of money, is logical in this situation and needless to say. Leona scratches her cheeks with a slight look of piercing.

"Well, you know... I mean, I was here yesterday."

"You can't just flip a chip box tied to an arrow into a blast sequence and blow it up like a bomb, bam! You're not gonna tell me you did it, are you?"

Leona nods very loudly.

"Precisely? You've seen it all?"

"Phew..."

Gene reaffirmed that the scene that he had hoped to see was a reality, then held down his temples for a while. Leona said she blew up a total of 15,000 chips, up to a thousand of her possessions and the money she had to pay Gin.

That's why there was so much destruction in the central square of Ad Point.

It was merely a confirmation of Gene's knowledge, but I forgot to mention for a while that I could not escape the shock.

"No, I didn't think you'd come... We have to do something to survive. That's all I could use."

Seeing Leona's exact words today, Gene's blood pressure was about to boil. Seeing his heart rate rising, Gene slowly picked his breath.

"Good…. If so, could it be a hidden chip in Ard Point.... Do you know a place where there's stuff that could be chips?"

"Sir, I've been here for two days."

Leona asked, "How do you find out about that new thing?" Jean said nothing more.

"……."

"And the slatters took everything they could and put it here... You know."

The vacancy Leona pointed at was nothing more than a waterfall. There's nothing to salvage from Ard Point. And Leonardo was broke. Leona looks carefully at Gin, then takes it out.

"…… you seem quite disappointed."

The words frowned on Jean's impression.

"Quite a disappointment, a small town can have 100 chips if it catches a man-eater that can crush three nuts, and five of those chips if it's 500. Do you know how many special bullets you can make with 500 chips? Even if you live that much..."

Jin lets out a sigh when he feels quite excited.

"Phew. Never mind. What am I to you..."

"This is hilarious."

But Leona turned on the twinkle.

"So you just wanted to eat that huge amount of chips for two days?"

"……."

"What makes you a hunter? You're not a hunter. You're a fraud."

"Kid. That's the price determined by the right quest...."

He said, "Well, you know, you did what you had to do, and you ripped me off anyway. It's not fair, because I would have fucked you with 100 chips if I wasn't in confession. Am I wrong? Or cheaper."

Leona keeps telling the truth, and Gin's tongue is hard. It's not the gin that hears you can't talk anywhere. But Leona spends a lot of time running back and forth, looking at Jean's face and sighing.

"Phew... So..."

But Leona yells at Gin with a poop chewed face.

"I'm not giving you the money because I have to, but because I'm good at giving it to you, remember!"

"What?"

"Tsk..."

Leona rummages through her backpack, pulling out a leather pouch and throws it to Gin. Gene picks up his pocket and opens it, and it's full of chips.

"You said you didn't have one. I blew it all up..."

"Of course it's a lie. What, you've never seen anyone lie before?"

Leona shrugs. Saying I blew it all up was just an act to impress Jean. After all the chips were out, there was no malice to that lie.

"I took it out in advance."

"You took it out?"

"Yes."

Leona removed exactly 500 chips from the chipbox in advance. For some reason, of course, it was for Jean. Jean looks at Leona as if she doesn't understand. If I had already gone, I couldn't understand the behavior of the woman who couldn't keep the chip.

Gene comes back a few days later, but he may not come back.

"Did you think I'd come back?"

"I didn't think he'd be a moron who couldn't even think of a bunch of money."

Of course, Gene was such a jerk.

"Well, what if he doesn't come back?"

Leona mutters with a tickle.

"If I went back out later, I was going to return it to you when I bumped into you."

Like an amulet, Leona would have committed to carrying it.

"Weren't you going to settle down here?"

"Like this is what it looks like. Just because you want to settle doesn't mean you can do that."

Ard Point has been raided for fear of settling down.

Leaving is a vagabond.

In most cases, it is not ideal.

Leona always knew she had to go back out into the wilderness. That's why Leona was afraid to arrive, and the first thing she did was decide when to leave. That's why I made the amulet containing 500 chips first.

If Gene hadn't come back, he might have been looking for her.

With the belief that we will meet again someday.

Gene had no idea what this kid was doing. Leona looks at Gin quietly, and Gin looks at her with a firm look.

However, Jeans put the chips in their pockets in their arms without counting. I didn't put the chip in my mouth.

I just put it in my coat pocket.

Gene couldn't understand her, as he couldn't understand her. Gene opens his mouth slowly.

"Before the world looks like this...."

"?"

"There were times like that."

Leona tilts her head as if to ask what you're talking about.

"A child was good enough."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Shut up and listen."

"Tsk."

A child is different from the past when it was only necessary to be good.

It was late, and in an age where evil was recommended over good, it was sometimes called gossip.

Children are weak, annoying, annoying, incapable, and just like animals. And the children who survive and grow up like that become adults and treat them as they were once treated.

"I'll make sure you're safe and then I'll take you to your settlement."

"... Is it a quest? I don't have any money anymore..."

What I gave Jean was Leona's entire fortune, and that's why she's broke.

Gene looks at Leona with a long expression and adds.

"There is no need for compensation."

A good kid needs a prize.
