Instant Death

About ten kilometers west of where the train broke.

The city was visible after about three hours of walking along the rail.

A slightly slower pace for healthy high school students to have walked straight, but the cause was mainly lack of night fog health.

"So I wish Robo had carried me"

Chichika looked down at the fog at night in a frightened manner.

There was an affordable fallen tree, so the mist sat there at night resting.

We both carry the same backpack and the burden should be the same, but Chichika was energetic herself.

"For now, I don't want to have as many waves as I can. What if someone sees you being transported to that robot?"

That giant was called an aggressor. It's a mystery what the translator translates to the standard, but that's a word that means invader.

It would probably be an enemy to the people of this world, and they could immediately think of it as an enemy to be seen with something like that.

"That robot didn't even seem like a bad guy. But is Takahi-kun not a good athlete? You know, when you pushed me down, you showed me a really agile move."

Chika said that she was a little upset.

"I've had a lot of exercise, so I can move. I admit I don't have enough stamina."

Though the night fog was in a hurry at first, it grew slower and more prone to rest.

I've already thrown away the sword I was wearing on my hips because it's getting in the way. Because I didn't use it anyway and I was disgusted when I thought it would continue to be a burden in the future.

"Maybe we should work out because we don't know what's out there, huh?

Chichika sat down next to the mist at night.

Chichika doesn't even have a weapon at first sight. The weapons bought in the city were left on the train. Sometimes it was inconvenient to carry around, but the biggest reason was because we acquired a more convenient and compact weapon.

Now the weapon is simulated in some of the uniforms worn by Chichika.

It was one of those robot's internal organs, a substance that could set its shape freely. It seems to be mainly used like a muscle.

It was said to be soft compared to the exterior of the robot, but by human standards it can also be set to hard enough as a weapon.

"I wish I could at least have gotten a ride. Did you need to leave in such a hurry?

'Hmm. A little more stickiness would have made it a lot more'

Both Tannoura and Koko, who are fluffy and floating, came together and asked.

"Because there was a shadow. You told me you know how dangerous it is to kill someone or something.

"You see something. Sounds like Seihei Uchiba."

"Who?"

"Awesome master of Aikido. I need to talk to you about avoiding a bullet, because that orbit looked like light before the bullet was fired."

"I wonder if it's similar. What I see is more like a black line or a shadow than a glow. So, black shadows began to cover the area where the train was located extensively, and the danger was rapidly increasing. It's about 30% dangerous."

"Yeah. I don't know if they say it in percent, but it feels like a weather forecast?

"I guess it feels. I think it's relatively safe right now, because it's less than 1% if you go around here."

"It's creating an atmosphere like you're resting because you've come to the safe zone, but you're just tired, aren't you?

"It's like we're already in the city, isn't it?

Station between canyon and native forest.

It was a night mist that I had imagined a tight settlement because I had heard that, but the facts were different.

A little further away, I could see the city stretching quite a bit.

"Looks like there's no walls here."

"You can't just open and close the gate every time a train comes."

There are multiple routes through this city. It may have developed thanks to its transport network.

"Doesn't that mean you don't have enemies?

"I guess not. This world, basically, seems to be full of danger, except for the city, which has the protection of the wise."

"Instead, I've been walking relaxed on the rails?

"Well, the enemy's killing me from one end of the line."

"To?"

Chichika's face was taken aback.

"I've been after demons and bandit-like people."

"Tell me! In the meantime, it doesn't sound silly to just walk around singing your nose!

The enemy was coming mainly from the native forest side.

I guess the demons will come smelling. He also heard there was a band of bandits who were always after the train, so maybe there's a Negijo around here.

"I don't know if it's enough to say."

"I knew you didn't need to be armed at all!

"Um. I've been programming a lot of deformation patterns, but it might not make sense."

A sword appeared in Chichika's hand as soon as possible. An object that was simulated in the uniform moved into my hands and deformed into a weapon, but it's an early start that only looks as if it was even a summons.

"Are you kidding me, this is a ghost from the peacetime!? What, are you trying to use SF-like weapons for granted?!?"

"Tannoura Liu is a martial art that evolves according to the environment! I've been focusing on electronic warfare here lately, didn't you know?

'Cause I don't even think about going that way.'

"But Kosan is good at that and it helps. We're going to be able to analyze the system and the dots, right?

"Uhm. Because I spent about a million credits from that robot. So I bought the right to use the middleware used in Battlesong. Since the original Battle Poem (Battlesong) is open source, it would be possible to simulate the reproduction of the system with this combination. However, it seems to have been altered considerably, so we need to analyze the area. If that were possible, an understanding of how this world works would be advanced. Hacking may also be possible '

"Something unexpected is going on on on my own, leaving me alone!

Chichika's face became more and more frightened.

After a break, the two entered the city of Hanabsa.

There are no walls, no inquisitions. Access was not restricted.

However, the boundaries of the city are indicated by a pole standing at regular intervals. I guess this inside is the extent to which the protection of the wise extends.

On cobblestones, stone buildings. The atmosphere was not so different from that of the first city visited, Quenza, but it was felt in the night fog as this one was more vibrant.

"So, you came to this city to wait for everyone, right?

"You're about to wait here or head to the King's Capital first. What do we do?"

"As soon as you get on the train to Wangdu, right? Then I'll be waiting for a while."

"Then we need to find a base here, because we have a hotel that Mr. Celestina introduced us to, so let's go there"

"Uh, if you want to introduce Mr. Celestina, you can already be there."

Chichika seemed to have tremendous trust.

As soon as I relied on the map that Celestina had me write, I found the hotel. This hotel is luxurious enough.

"Is that it? Mr. Tannoura!

I just walked into the hotel and all of a sudden I was called out.

He is a Japanese boy with dark hair and dark eyes. I don't remember the night fog, but I guess I'm a classmate because I know Chichika.

The boy seems to be about to leave the hotel now.

Behind him, he was bringing in local-looking girls.

"Huh? Orange-kun? Why are you here?

My classmates were still supposed to be in the native forest. It can't be ahead of the night fogs that were using the train.

"Good -. You're safe. I'm acting different from them. Because you don't have to keep up with inefficient levels."

"Oh, really? I don't know."

Chichika didn't expect to suddenly encounter a classmate in this city either, which was an indescribable reaction.

"What the hell is this woman! Very familiar with Master Yuki!

Then the woman behind the orange came out with hostility.

"To?"

Chichika was puzzled by the too abrupt reaction. I guess it didn't make sense why they would stick around all of a sudden.

"Come on, Erica. These guys are classmates."

"If that's what Master Yuki says..."

Erica pulled back a lot.

"That's just great, your husband! That heart is forgiving even when it comes to rude people! That's exactly what the king deserves!

Now another woman has said that.

"Takahiro, what are these people?"

"Even if I tell you so."

The oranges seemed to admire the women a lot.

"Oh, isn't it good to be here, Mr. Tannoura, to be my mistress?

The sight of the women became murderous as soon as possible.

"Yes?"

Chichika was increasingly bewildered and the night fog, which was about to react to the intent to kill, was critical and stuck.
