On the other hand.

Ruby jumped out as he pushed the guardian boy into the safe zone.

─Blown away by the impact of the shelling that landed shortly after, the beasts and prisoners are─ defended sideways.

Parry in position and direct most of your consciousness and sensors toward the predicted launch location.

You're not going to hide anymore, are you?

Did you make a decision? Before the impact was quieter, the sole (...) had a distinctive driving sound

Without hesitation, the mechanical footsteps came to an end.

Shit, I don't think that's it?

As the aftermath of the impact passes, Ruby calls back her prey, complaining.

I came out of the darkness, out of the Central Four lights.

It was the night vision optical sensors that captured it.Especially when the human brain sees them accurately.

I needed a little time to recognize it.

"What is it!?" Shadows? Giant spiders? No, guard robots? "

No, that's probably...

It was a silhouette that he could not help but misunderstand.

The first impression was a spooky one.I think it's about 6 or 7 meters long, and it's a long front and rear.

A leg with eight knots extends from the ellipsoid.It's like a giant spider.

It also looks like a multi-legged UAV (Guard Robot).It's just that the whole body is so black that it feels uncomfortable.

Besides, it barely reflects light.Therefore, a black hole along its shape is in the space

When it is open, the brain misunderstands.What is the technology of paint that produces so much black?

Conflictingly, it's like a graffiti painted by a child with a single crayon of the same color.

It exhibited a three-dimensional sense of indifference and an unrealistic presence.

You can see that it's some kind of metal object, but you can't help but notice that there are multiple knuckles on it.

It moves and crawls through the ground, sounding and rushing.

"Ah, it's already a visual attack."Kimochiwara!

Even if you're accustomed to being a glowing beast, you don't have to be physiological aversion.

The brain gets confused by the addition of such behavior to memory.There is not one such being, but (...) three (...),

It comes in line to form the vertices of the triangle, so it's superfluous.

But if you were looking at the sole with the physical or the optical footage,

If you're not human in the first place.

The search for similar shapes is completed, and the results are displayed.

After that, the victim is not as highly intelligent as she─ can be, not influenced by extra emotions.─

The judgment and information processing of the auxiliary AI accurately indicate the answer that Ruby wants.

After all, Arrest's high-mobility multi-leg tank!

It's a military weapon!

Ruby convinced herself that "you look familiar" behind the back of Yosuke Tsuku.

Hypothetically a terrorist support group fighter agent.In Garest, a munitions company is competing for one or two.

I had a habit of seeing the shape and design of the weapon I was developing.

I wasn't sure because none of the company's existing products matched the shape.

I thought it was a modification that would mislead me, but I've seen a lot of weapons and weapons with my eyes.

Ruby remembered what it felt like to be an unknown new product.

There's been a rumor that a new prototype was stolen... except for the fact that it's still out there.

Sometimes I've heard stories that complement my guesses, and at first glance I understand and agree with them, but I really...

Stolen, stolen, stolen.

It's nothing but a pesky story, apart from a threat.The former is one of the biggest munitions companies in the world.

The latter is because the company itself is behind it because there are forces that can take it away.

The cold sweat spreads to my cheeks. I've been involved with the Mass Clyde ever since, and I feel like this is the only thing that's ever happened to me.

A bitter smile came out. That sort of thing doesn't last long in battle.Even though they're a handicap.

There is no difference. The work you have undertaken is the protection of this land.

Then what needs to be done remains the same. Just stick it in as usual.

Above all, it seemed that it was not an────── enemy.

Haa!!

I kicked the ground with my temper and charged with the tall thruster fully open.

Rather than riding in the dark, for some reason, three planes approaching from the front without vigilance.

Was that an unexpected counterattack?with the aircraft in charge of the nearest frontal vertex

She flies off like a shell and crashes.More than four times the size of their own tanks.

There is a difference in size. Collisions with such beings first spread a shock to the surroundings,

Next, the sound of metal and metal bumping together makes──── many legs (...) bend (...).

As I hit it, I stopped the legs of the two planes that followed behind me.

Ku, oh my, this guy's power is weak!

But that's not enough for Ruby, who was going to bounce.

The exoskeleton she now wraps around is the type of disguise used in jobs where she needs to hide her identity.

It's a standard company that distributes its appearance to the industry in order to protect the setup of the flowing mercenary.

It looks like a substitute, and the contents are made of "unnamed", but compared to the latest technology that I'm used to using.

It was (unreliable) equipment that was somewhat insufficient.Because it is slightly competitive and antagonistic

Considering the size difference, it could be said to be enough output (power), but she was not satisfied with it.

Woah!

Compared to the force, if you can't see the force, you can kick each other's torso and jump.

When they jumped into the air, did they notice our presence there?

I lifted my legs one by one from left and right.No, it wasn't a leg.

It is a manipulator (arm) whose tip is different from the others.

At the tip of all five fingers of the machine, a hole── muzzle unfolds.

Ha

Slow to react, and that's how we intercepted them.

A total of twenty muzzle barrages of light bullets emitted one after the other in the air, laughing and dodging.

It is not an exoskeleton maneuver, but only a curvaceous movement caused by a twist of the body.

There were too many bullets scattered and too many gaps against her at close range.

So Ruby was able to land gracefully and quietly just by putting herself there.

Naturally, it doesn't stop there, nor does it end there.Of course, she was better.

The two-handed hatchet was immediately thrown.Rotate yourself at a high speed, like a disc

It flew, painting loneliness in the sky, and attacked two planes in return for the barrage.

Each arm tried to play, or to catch the steel arm.

I pointed it at it, but it just sparked without either.Crushed blade for simulation.

It's not enough to cut both, but the remote control and high-speed propulsion system itself is her (Ruby) favorite.

It is no different from that. Separated, attacked, separated, attacked.Like you're tangled up in two planes.

They're going to fly around and they're going to charge, and the impact can't destroy the plane.

It was powerful enough to wiggle my posture.

Melting

Did you notice that the movement of the two bureaucrats was practically sealed off? The plane in front of us.

The two cannons lined up from the front of his torso pointed too much at Ruby.

Slow (dull). Anyway, the guns are about to fire right now, right into that mouth.

A small light bullet pointed like an arrowhead was already a few centimeters away.

It happened.

──────

I didn't even realize that the multi-legged tank was being drunk by a light bullet.

Light bombs in the cannon just before they were fired were detonated.The burst of flame and impact rocked the plane.

Whether it's inside or not, the inside is probably the one who suffered the most. Refluxing from the barrel

as if the internal mechanism had been swept away by energy and the metal had been rubbed in disorder

The body of the car sank as the machine screamed.Six legs, slightly floating torso.

Completely falls and the steel leg loses its force.Ruby is in full face.

He laughed tinyly. He did not mock the joy of attacking well, nor the appearance of an unconventional figure.

The end of a cannon, like a steel flower, leaned open, like the face of a man who turned his eyes.

It was a little strange to see.It has a distinctive taste.

Haa!

Especially since she is a fighter.Even if something funny happens on the battlefield, your body...

He fought to defeat his opponent without even realizing it.

I hit, kicked, and jumped two appropriate rubble around me with a single scream of temperament.

Confused by the silent wingman and the spinning hatchet attack, the two planes approached.

I didn't even notice the collision. There's a slight gap between the torso of each tank and the ground.

Debris that collided so as to get pinched.But whether it's an attack or a disruption,

It was part of the city of Garest that was destroyed.

Although it was more robust than it seemed, it was inappropriate as an artillery shell and much inferior to a tank's body.

If you look at an obstacle between the airplane and the ground, it's not a fixed object.

In a shaped ellipsoid, there were many gaps, even if they were close together.

The strength of multi-legged tanks lies in their ability to break through terrain that is usually difficult to run on in vehicles.

If you want to get in the way, you just have to float a little.So it's pointless. No.

Shortly after she hit, kicked, and skipped the debris, she had already summoned an appropriate weapon.

I threw two of them in the same direction as the rubble, while drawing a slight curve upwards.

A long-handled sword with a wide sword.The arrival of the second wave follows the collision of rubble.

Both of them, almost simultaneously, were sucked into a small gap between the tank's body and the debris.

I entered and pushed myself deep into the ground with my strength and weight. Still, the average

Long handles that were taller than adults rose like pillars extending diagonally from the ground.

Hey, Otara──

Ruby's left index finger pulled something.

It didn't have to be done, but it was like being manipulated by an invisible thread.

Two rotating hand axes that were clinging to the tank jumped up and down.

The momentum was faster than previous harassment attacks, but the aim was

The handle of the Great Sword pierced through its tip, not the tank.

──Do you know the leaf principle?

It was at the same time that the smiling words were uttered and the blade jumped up.

If that happens, the shape of the chariot on top of it will be characterized by its multi-legged

It's bouncing into the air for no reason.The collision of a cosmic hand axe is the point of strength,

The embedded rubble is the fulcrum, the action point of the blade's belly is more than the force of the collision

He demonstrated his power.And Ruby jumped right in front of us and flew two planes.

I put my thumbs up on the index finger of my right hand and said it in a mischievous voice.

Burn!

Onomatope with a lovable voice and a trick of releasing bullets.That was the signal.

Just like several red meteors floating at the pinnacle of momentum.

We torn apart the tanks we had stopped in the air.Especially the legs and barrels.

Shot out, wiped out, and torn to pieces.

Ruby falls down with the sound of all kinds of collisions.

Surface armor is scored, and the original shape remains while losing its distinctive "blackness".

Keep your eyes on the three tanks.I've finished my role, and I'm back at it.

Easily catch a giant hand axe in shape without being alarmed,

I literally stepped on the limped plane.

"Awesome... three military multi-legged tanks in an instant"

But in a few more steps, I fell asleep at arm's length.

I heard Yosuke boy's voice mixed with praise and marvel.That's better than I thought.

Close enough, Ruby can't see what's inside if she just looks at it from the── outside.

Point the frontal part of the full face at him.A boy levitates about a meter from the surface.

You were thinking of our backup, too. We had a cannon in place.

Distance and position to pinch her with the wreckage of a tank.

"Ah, hahah, you didn't have to.I'm sorry, amateur. "

No, we need to be prepared. Armament selection is also appropriate──!? "

──Lieutenant! I obeyed your orders, but are you supporting such a miserable fish?!

Please don't let me shoot you in vain because you eat so much fotons!

I definitely pushed it because it's a hassle to do it myself!

Hey! Everyone, don't complain loudly!

Rather, thank you, I've even made a match for the mischievous fish! ”

Ruby shakes her head at him for looking down on herself as an unnecessary favor.

Suddenly, a voice of dissatisfaction resounded in my ears.It was one of my men who ordered sniper support.

I explained that I could see the face of the boy who was reflexively retorting.

Oh, I'm sorry. My people suddenly sent me a message.

However, Yosuke boy's face instantly blossomed and his eyes glowed.

"Those are the snipers who destroyed those two planes in an instant!?"

So many bullets crossed each other in an instant without disturbing each other.

The sight of devouring the same target!!It's like an instant piece of art.

I feel like I've been shown!! That was amazing!! "

Ah, thank you?

Unlike Ruby, who returned with a puzzling compliment, the communication remained open.

After that, the snipers who peeked at it seemed to be less than full.

And hehe, no, that's not it.

Hmm, if a young girl praises you, you'll be moisturized.

Ufu, a promising boy in the future...... Juruli

Whatever you don't hear from the other person, just say what you like.

Our daughters have a headache.

There are a few feelings that "I envy you for not knowing."

The relationship between the boy and his sister, and the client, was informed by the boss (Mühl)

Ruby was the only second-in-command.So shut up and cut the comms.

I ignored even the repeated calls that followed.I don't want to be caught in that mask by my men.

"The full-time mercenaries are so good at this!"

I can't even get my hands on a military weapon... I'm taking my hat off! "

Meanwhile, without knowing the anguish, I'm going to give him a straight compliment, something itchy.

I shook my head without taking my gaze off the body of a tank that I could not remember moving.

"I don't feel bad being praised that much,

This result is not because we are strong. "

The denial is so that the boy does not overestimate the strength of the "real" mercenaries in the future.

One reason was to be careful not to underestimate military weapons.

In any case, in terms of quality of equipment and level of skill, the mercenaries are not the same as us.

Even the new tanks, which I repelled lightly, would have been...

It wasn't so easy to neutralize.

Well, why not?

The biggest reason why this has become so easy (cause) is simple and straightforward.

Ruby mouths it out as she speaks of a mockery and aggressive mockery.

Because the──── rider was an amateur

Riders, no way!

That kind of thing.

Miscellaneous artillery bombardments designed to inform us of our presence.You said it came off.

Without thinking of a counter-attack, I walked into the pedestrian zone, and I got close enough to respond to my attack.

Those idiots who just had to do it again... why don't you just come out?

I took the trouble to remove the hatch!

A carcass that was destroyed unscathed.The voice that was raised to be heard inside of it,

It wasn't a tank hatch, it was around them, including the wreckage of the tank.

Armed, unwilling men wearing the same fluorescent ties.

Prisoners who were run over.

Yosuke, Ruby-san!!

Moreover, all the prisoners who had gathered here and were still active.

A human wall forms a circle that blocks the view of the protons at the main entrance of Central 4.

"Ugh, these guys!?"

…………

There is no difference between agitation and silence, and two people stand to turn their backs on each other naturally.

It was a rage and a scream of rough breath.

"Shit! Who's an amateur, who's an idiot!

As much or as little as you like! You're a mercenary!! "

One of the tank carcasses that remained in its─ original shape relatively─ intentionally.

The upper part of it opens up, and if you think of the color of the tank from the opening that everyone can pass through,

A total of three men wearing relatively ordinary black armor (protectors) appeared per plane.

"But the stuffing is sweet!"The place is full of women and children!

We're not alone in this tank!

Look at the prisoners surrounding you!There's no escape! "

"Even these sinners who have always made a name for themselves!"I'm not even aware of it.

We're going all out! No matter how many weapons you have, you can't win! "

It's covered up for headgear and visors, but it still spreads.

Even if it's a reversal, the men who play high laughter with a pleasant voice.

But I was sad. Apparently, they're really winning their advantage.

Standing on a scrap tank that was destroyed in an instant.

At least I'm not dressed.

"Wow... you really smell like amateur, are you serious?"Is that really true? "

"I know from the data that it's a manned pilot type, but it's full of amateurish movements.

I thought that would be the case because it was an occasional thing, but so far...... ”

And I didn't even notice the two of them pointing at the white gaze somewhere.

For them, this is not a dilemma or anything.There is certainly a difference in numbers.

Prisoners' weapons are dangerous to the exoskeleton, and their stats are high.

It's all in one place, and if you can manipulate those people, it's a threat.

However, there was no consciousness of the prisoners, and they were all alive.Although the shape surrounds it, it's in one place.

It was easier to defeat because it was being gathered. Their troubles are

The point is, they didn't act in a coherent fashion, they involved other prisoners, but they were engaged in sabotage.

Extremely large. We have a defensive target. That kind of orbital inertia.

It was a difficult opponent.We've deliberately crushed the advantages, even the two exoskeleton positions.

A few uninformed snipers were watching.

Even Yosuke, who is still a student, is shocked when there is a degree of pessimism.

The voice even had a color that doubted the sanity of the opponent.But that's not for Ruby.

Even if it arrived, it didn't seem to reach the other party.

"Kuhaha, it's too late to be frightened!"He's the one who ran us over!

I'll torment you with the hands of the prisoners! "

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Are you overconfident? Or should I say the spring of this world?

Ruby told the men who seemed to have received her "this far" in a good way.

I decided to pass over the shock and remember the pity and listen to it.After all, this is a puzzle.

I don't think they're the ones who stole the most advanced planes in the military, and they're the ones who faked it.

I don't think so. Whatever the truth is, he is a fool who is conveniently used by the true culprits.

You don't know much about it when you capture it and close it up.Not even unintentionally.

I was going to defend my sister and my brother, and there was a terrible battle in my heart, and I was going to defend my multi-legged tank.

It was made urgent by the attack, and if you think that it is the contents of the request.

It's a good thing that the risk is low, but strangely enough, there's a feeling of shoulder irritation or broken bones.

I'll remember.

"... after all, who are you guys?"

Was it the same for him?Asked in a voice that was mixed with fatigue and irritability

The men replied with an upbeat smile that had just been waiting for them.

"Ha ha! You heard me, boy!"

We are the ones who bring dawn to this rotten world! "

Those who want to destroy such a cramped city and strive for true freedom!

"It's called the Black Revolution Wing!" Raven!! "
