Rebuild World

295 A certain girl.

Akira asked Shilou to open the door of the B28 cargo bay, and she thought the door would open immediately if Shiloh's strength allowed her to do so.But after a while, the door wouldn't open.There was no response from Shiro.

"...? Shiloh. What's the matter?" Is it going to take you long?

What? Oh, oh, it's okay. I'll open it now.

The door opens. With this, Akira, who was happy to get the equipment for the front line, was distracted and did not realize that Shiloh had returned to me after being summoned to her.

A large number of containers are lined up in the B28 cargo bay.These containers are very sturdy, even though they are in a sturdy cargo bay.In order to secure valuable supplies, each authority was required to open and close the container, and it was a separate jurisdiction from the vehicle.

Containers equipped with Akira are under the jurisdiction of Slope Heavy Industries, and the authorization code for opening and closing is received from Kibayashi.In other words, if you fail to open it again for any reason, you will return to Kugamayama City to receive the verification code again in the worst case.In case Akira was afraid of it, she asked Rebecca to wait by the door of the cargo bay, and decided to go alone to the container with her own equipment.

As I walked through the cargo bay, Shiloh told me a story.

Akira, I'd like to ask you, how does it work with Rebecca?

Ahh, it looks like you've been separated from your companions......

Akira explained to Shiloh how she was accompanying Rebecca.Shiloh returns a short word after hearing the situation.

... I see.

The short reply from Shilou was full of complex emotions that Akira could understand, which was far from the sensitivity of others.

Shiloh? What's wrong?

...... nothing.

No, but...

Akira, it's your gear anyway.When you're done with your errands, you'll have to prioritize my errands.That's the deal, isn't it? Get your gear quickly.

... I see. I see.

I knew that Akira was deceived, but I could agree with what she said.You're so close to getting front-line gear.Hurry up, trying to get it before anything else happens.

Reach the desired container and open the door carefully.There were four large cases stored inside.It was Akira's gear. And when it reaches him, Akira will break his face.Then I tried to open the case to see what was inside.

It didn't open.

"Huh...?"

Akira, who thought she could open it normally, rushed out.I was not told that authentication, etc. was required to open the case.

Shiloh watched Akira through the information gathering device, wondering.

Akira, what's wrong?

No, I can't open the gear case.

That's true. It's definitely Akira's luggage, but technically Akira's luggage is Akira's downhill heavy engineering luggage.Akira, who only has the authority to transport, doesn't even have the authority to open the package. "

"...... I guess that's what it is."

Akira looked back at the conversation she had had with the Kibayashi palm and wondered if that was what it meant.

Don't worry, if you bring it here, I'll open it for you.

I see. Thanks, but can't we do it here?You opened the door here, didn't you?

It's technically possible, but I don't want to do it.It might add to the hassle. "

Shiloh adds to the reason by saying so.

The intercity transport vehicle interior is basically laid with the same management attitude as the city walls.The same is true of this Atlas D2771.The entire area is at least equivalent to the middle compartment, and some parts are equivalent to the upper compartment due to the combination of transportation of cubes.It is impossible to allow that Akira to enter the place where such security is being maintained.

Perhaps it was the pressure from downhill heavy engineering that made that possible.This front-line gear rewards Akira for defeating her founding father's troops.No matter what the circumstances, I can't give you the reward for how long, and it damages the prestige of Slope Heavy Industries.Taking that area into account, it is believed that a special permission was granted.

Even then, you can only get permission to enter the car.Permission to open the gear case, that is, until Akira is armed with front-line gear on a par with the bulwark.If you give permission, it will be a guarantee.Neither Slope Heavy Industries nor Shikishi (as expected) have any right or obligation to give preferential treatment to Akira.

In some cases, vehicle security forces may turn against the enemy if the case is opened under such circumstances.I don't think the vehicle's security forces will be able to take a light look at the dangerous people selling quarrels to Lion's Tail, armed with very powerful front-line gear.If you're not good enough, you'll be seen as an assailant targeting the Cube.

That's why I don't want to open the case in the vehicle.I don't want any trouble. Shilou finished his explanation.

Oh, I see. I see.

Akira had no choice but to convince herself.And that Akira, I understood the meaning of that again.

Shilou adds lightly.

"To be honest, I was surprised when Akira was allowed into Atlas D2771.Isn't that the one who fixed it?Even at Lion's Tail, we procured Akira's gear and ammunition in that situation, even though it wasn't just for Lion's Tail, so it was pretty good. "

... that's right.

Akira smiled unexpectedly.Sometimes I was helped by that skill, and sometimes I got involved in troubleshooting because of that skill, which was an expression of the complicated emotions that gushed up.

And Akira's presence here now is also due to the skill of her palm.This time, Akira was a little lost, whether it was help, trouble, or both, but she switched her mind and decided not to care now.

Operate the case with the self-propelled function and set it to automatically accompany.Then, the four legs at the bottom of the case began to move, aligning while rotating the tires on the toes, and lined up to follow Akira.Akira returned to the door of the cargo bay where Rebecca waited with a little interest.

Rebecca looks at the four boxes of cases lined up behind Akira with interesting eyes.

"Is that Akira's luggage?What's in it? I didn't mean to say that there was a cube in it, did I? "

Rebecca laughed like a light joke, and Akira replied with a light laugh.

"It's not like that. The contents are my gear."

"Akira's gear! Something amazing."Hey, can I have a look? "

“I'm sorry, I can't open it here because of the circumstances.”

"Oh, that's right. Hmm.Shame. That's okay. Well then, let's get going. "

When Rebekah judged that there was no lie in Akira's speech in the lightness of his task, she began to speak lightly.

Akira felt slightly caught by Rebecca's attitude.However, it was a trivial feeling and nothing was said by Alpha, so I tried to open the door without paying any more attention.And when the door didn't open again, the slightest discomfort was blown away.

"... again. What's going on?"

Akira slipped away, exhaling and calling to Shiloh.

Shiloh. The door won't open. Check it out.

All right. Hold on a second....... This isn't an authentication error.It is an emergency lock due to the rising danger of the adjacent part. "

What do you mean?

The other side of the door is in battle.

Akira stared at the door unexpectedly.

Zeros follows the assailants as they cross paths in the vehicle.Two enemies. It was a well-trained (and well-trained) woman equipped with a leotard-shaped reinforced clothing and a dress-like protective coat, as well as a laser gun.It's strong enough to think it's tough, but the opponent keeps running, and it's not strong enough to go after it.Then we can't let them get away, and Zeros is determined to chase the enemy.

Live ammunition and rays fly through the passageway, ravaging the space like they're eating up a runaway.It was a barrage of hunters, regular monsters, and other aftermaths.

But both Zeros and the assailants dealt with them properly.For the most part, the force field barrier [Force Field Shield] for counter-energy is placed on the ray of light, and the laser is twisted and bent to temporarily increase the output of the force field armor [Force Field Armor] of the protective coat to prevent live ammunition.

The result of the offensive and defense was Zeros' dominance.Zeros are almost intact. The assailants lost one of their arms to a thousand shots fired.Still, it was far from fatal. The assailants disappeared across the aisle.

Zeros unexpectedly smiled.

(... he escaped again. We are already separated from our people.That's not good. Are they catching you?)

Zeros and his team encountered an assailant as they were working to take down a new sector.In terms of simple strength, it was an opponent beyond the main force of the team, but since it was attacked, it was initially forced to fight a little bit.Even so, when facing the defense, thanks to the simple barrier installed during the suppression work, it does not lose its advantage, and the main unit arrived in time, and it quickly gained the advantage and defeated it.After that, the main team was chasing the escaping assailants.

However, Zeros' superiority disappeared when the raiders fled to another sector.We don't know where the enemy is hiding in a completely uncontrolled sector.Unlike the multi-legged planes, which seemed to be used for scouting and reconnaissance purposes, the assailants are strong enough.In order not to be ambushed and not to be cut off from the exit route, it is important to secure the passage, and people must also be assigned to it.

Now, if the enemy is a little stronger, Zeros will decide to raise it.However, the enemy was weak enough to slow down the decision, and Zeros followed the raiders as he slipped back, leaving them alone to secure a way out.

Zeros looks at the floor. The green liquid flowed from the thin arm of the assailant who was rolling there.

(Is this blood...... a medicine for recovery?It is clear that replacing blood with healing pills will dramatically improve healing and combat proficiency.But your body can't produce healing pills to make blood, so it's going to be a fatal obstacle to your everyday life.You've got a lot of temper.Well, they're attacking intercity transport for the Cube.Isn't it strange that you're doing something so crazy.....)

There's a transmission coming in from my people.

Zeros, what happened to you?

I'm sorry, I just got away again.

... should I help you?

"No, you should focus on securing a retreat."I made a long route to a sector that I hadn't done much work on.I know it's tough, but if there's no place nearby where I can escape when I'm dead. I asked you to do it?

Roger that. Don't push yourself, okay?

After a light show of trust, Zeros chases the raiders again.As long as I could confirm the intel device's response, they waited a little further down the aisle.Zeros looks weird in that situation.

(Again, not completely escaping.But halfway to catching me.Even if I were to intercept them, it wouldn't be a very favorable terrain for them.There was no sign of trying to rendezvous with the others.what the hell are these guys.....)

The mysterious word of a high performance mortal comes to Zeros' mind.And even though I thought the words were strange, I felt strangely convinced.It runs down the aisle and tries to assault the assailants at the end of the corner.

At that time, more than a dozen plate-shaped objects emerged from the tip of the corner.Looking at the shiny plate between the glass and the mirror, Zeros responds immediately.While shooting at those plates, he threw the smoke tube at the corner.

The assailants fired countless laser cannons with little delay.Shooting straight lasers from the corner of the aisle would not have hit zero.However, the light rays are bent by the reflector that was ejected first, and then bent around the corner and struck Zero.

As he read it, Zeros ducked into the gap between the laser storms created by the reflectors that were destroyed in time to dodge the enemy's attack.I stepped further, turned the corner of the aisle, and assaulted the raiders.Naturally, the muzzle of the assailants greeted Zeros, but the smoke was blown all at once by a smoke cylinder that had reached near the assailants while turning the corner of his bullet into the passage wall.

Specialized smoke screens tailored for arming anti-energy systems were effective enough.The smoke lasers diffuse and attenuate, significantly reducing their power.Hitting Zeros directly no longer inflicts any serious injuries.

Even if I use this smoke screen when the opponent is at a long distance, the opponent can only step back and distance themselves, so there was no point in using it until now.However, it would be extremely effective if the distance was reduced.The effect is only a few seconds while the smoke is full, but enough time to decide on a match.Zeros is sure to win.

(You mismanaged the distance by worrying about the attenuation due to reflection!That's it!)

Zeros and the Marauders shoot each other hard, absolutely inevitable.The result was an overwhelming difference.Zeros was injured to the extent that part of his cheek was carbonized.But the raiders lost their original form.The healing power of humans who have replaced their blood with high-performance healing drugs is no longer so high as to call it regenerative capacity.Zeros, who knew about it, shot the opponent thoroughly to make sure he was dead.

Zeros puts down his gun and exhales.The floors were littered with assailants, and I didn't know what they were.

"Okay. We're done. We're taking the trouble to get him out of here."

Zeros tried to contact his companions to destroy the bullet on his cheeks with his fingers and peeled off the carbonized part. After applying the medicine for recovery, he completed the treatment.But that's where the intelligence device gets a big response.

If that position was beyond the aisle, Zeros was only showing strong vigilance.However, Zeros showed obvious surprise.

"You idiot...!"

The position of the reaction was behind Zeros, in the direction of the passage that had just passed, and at the end of the corner that had just been bent.There were no enemies there.The perception stunned Zeros.

Still, Zeros immediately stood ready to intercept.The position of the opponent is at the end of the corner, and the radiation does not pass through.In addition, I felt uneasy about the total number of rounds because of the serious shooting of two assailants.Moreover, the response was on its way to us with all its strength and there was no respite for the magazine exchange.Then Xeros pulled out the blade saying that he was going to take care of the gun.I also ran vigorously toward the corner of the aisle.

With this, you and your enemies meet at the corner of the aisle.Keep your enemies in the air and destroy them.Zeros assumed that and made contact with the enemy as expected.

"... what's happening!?"

Zeros' face, which tried to shake the blade as expected, is distorted by further amazement.The enemy was a carnivore big enough to block the aisle.The sudden appearance of a large monster assuming that the enemy was human due to the size of the reaction slightly slowed Zero's movement.And the giant beast opened its mouth wide to kill Zeroth, as it was washing away the gap.

The large mouth, which was closed vigorously, stretched (cheekbones) only the air in the passage.Further, the mouth opens left and right rather than up and down.Xeros jumped at the beast's attack and jumped over the beast and slashed at the target.A massive body, slashed open and bisected, rolls into the aisle.

And Zeros ran down the aisle with a steep face.

(Weak! What's that size?!That shouldn't have been a big reaction!what happened.....)

While the confused parts of his head arranged questions about the situation one after the other, the sober parts as hunters suddenly scrambled Zeros.

Whatever the reason, behind me, there was an enemy in the aisle without a branch.But the enemy's path of appearance was blocked by a friend who was securing a retreat.Still, the appearance of enemies means we've broken through our allies.I just got in touch with my people.In the short time since then, I hope my people will be safe, thinking that I've been defeated without time to ask for help.If it's been broken through, there's a good chance our people are still alive.Then I rushed down to my people to say that I could help them if I went back.

Zeros' companions who were continuing to secure a retreat, saw Zeros running at a high momentum and gave a strange (queasy) face.Zeros shouted as he arrived, unaware of it.

What's the situation!?

"...? No problem."

"... what?"

Huh?

Both Zeros and his companions were confused and puzzled.

"Zeros, what happened?"

"... no, wait a minute.... that means..."

My people were safe.In the first place, there was no battle with the Giant Beast.Zeros understands the fact, but at the same time notices the elements that satisfy it, making his face steep all at once.

Attention, everyone. We need to lower the forward line to the A7 cargo bay sector.

"What? If we lower that far, we'll throw away the captured sector?"The suppression work is also redone. "

"That's it. Forget you've done any work on the sector."Return on the assumption that you will pass through the unoccupied sector.I'll explain later. Let's get started! ”

Zeros' companions uniformly transformed their expressions into something serious.The reason for the order was unclear, but there was something that had to be given.Recognize and move from trust in Zero.

And Zeros went back down the aisle with his people.

The corpse of the giant beast rolling in the aisle was shrinking as it was cut off by Zeros.At the end of the contraction, the body had turned into a broken arm.Xeros jumped from the assailant to the arm.

Akira holds her head in front of a door that doesn't open.

The door of the warehouse cannot be opened because the surrounding area is in battle.It is likely that intercity transport troops are fighting the raiders.I know. You can help to end the battle, but for that, you have to open the door and go out into the aisle.But the door wouldn't open because I was in battle.There was nothing I could do.

Shiloh, what can we do?

Even if you say so.That lock is different from simple authentication. "

Akira, who was told that it was impossible for Shiloh to do so, held her head more and more.Because if you don't, you'll be locked up in this warehouse for a long time.Exhale with a slippery breath.

"That's amazing..."

So Rebecca opens her mouth.

Can't you open it?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I can't open it when I'm in combat near the door.

"That's right.... Well, then you can't just give up going back to the aisle and get out of the vehicle?"There was a door on the exterior wall of the vehicle over there..... "

No, that's impossible, isn't it?

"Oh, no? Is that what the operator says?"

Akira was surprised to see her face when she was told something unexpected.Rebecca gave a bad look somewhere.

"Ah, look, I thought you were contacting the operator because you said something like someone told you not to open it during the battle.I was wondering if he was also asking me to open and close the door.... sorry. Did you hide it? "

From Rebecca's attitude, Akira decided that Rebecca had only noticed that she was in contact with someone, but had not noticed that she was the former realm connector.There are also information terminals that correspond to communication via the old area, and I heard that it is not surprising that hunters near the frontline have them, so I think that they are using such things, and I restore calm.

"Ah, there's something there." Shut up, please. "

"Yeah, I got it. So, is it impossible to get out of the vehicle?"

Shiloh. Is that impossible?

Akira went to try it out.But Shiloh didn't reply.

Shiloh?

{...... I see. I see. Let's give it a try.

Shilou opened the door for a long time and replied.

Akira and the others move to the front of the vehicle's exterior door.

Shiloh, I've come to the door.

We're on the move.Wait a little longer.... All right.Here we are. Let's open it.

The exterior door opens.The door is small because it is used for entering and exiting people, not for carrying large containers, etc., but it is still the size of Akira's luggage.The door that had been opened to fall before became a scaffolding on the outer wall.

Akira stands at the top of the scaffold and puts her hands forward.The multi-legged case that followed Akira jumped into Akira's hands and jumped up.All you have to do is take the case and jump off.It's a little over the height of a bad building, but there's nothing wrong with Akira now.Looking at the ground, Shiloh had already moved Akira's car down here, looking up from the ground.

"Rebecca, I'm going to ask you, can you get off on your own?"If I can't, I'll carry it with me. "

It's all right. It's all right.

I see. Well then, first of all...

Akira jumped back from saying that.And while it was falling, it was rubbing against Shiloh.

Huh?

Akira unexpectedly looked up as she landed on the ground.Shilou was jumping up to the scaffold where Akira had just jumped, with the power of his reinforced clothes.

Rebecca reveals her surprise at the sudden appearance of Shiloh.

"...... Shiloh?"

Halka!

Shiloh laughed with great joy at the girl who called her Akira Rebecca.

Even though Shiloh is favored by Slope Heavy Industries, it is a violent act that can really turn Slope Heavy Industries into enemies if you do it badly, such as opening the door of the vehicle's exterior wall and drilling a hole in the defense network of the cube.Still, Shiloh did it.For a friend who decides to help the big five by turning them into enemies.

We made it. The thought breaks Shiloh's face.Meanwhile, Halka was puzzled and confused.

"Shiloh, why are you in this place?"I'm supposed to be at Sakashita's lab..... "

"Oh, I'm getting out."

Hulka, who understands the meaning, is stunned.

"You (you) what are you doing...!"

"I'm here to help you."

And when I heard the short words, I was shocked that you had done so much for me.

"Why is Haruka here?"How did you get out of there?No, it doesn't matter!If we get here, I'll take care of it. Let's go! "

Shilou hands out to Harka.Halka unexpectedly put her joy on her face and tried to clap her hands.But Halka's hand was only slightly moved.The expression is also stained with distress.

Shiloh interpreted it as anxiety.He laughs vigorously at Hulka.

"It's okay. Even if it looks like this, I'm terrific."I'll take care of it. Trust me. "

But Halka couldn't hold back Shiloh's hand. Somehow he smiles.

"... Shiloh. Thank you. I'm really happy. It's true."

And his face was stained with grief.

"... but I'm sorry"

Having said that, Hulka kicked Shiloh off the scaffold.

Shiloh, who was rejected by a friend who tried to help him with everything, fell with a face of grief.

"Halka... Why..."

And Halka looked at Shiloh as falling, with a look of remorse as deep as Shiloh's grief.

Instead of jumping, she was dropped, and when she saw Shilou, who did not show herself landing, she hurriedly took hold of Shilou, who had fallen from the ground.

"Shiloh, what are you doing?"

With Akira's strange (jerk) voice, the dumbfounded silence returned to me in despair.In time, he emotionally tries to go under Halka again.However, when I forced down from Akira, my reason pushed it to a halt.There was no chance of winning with a simple combat ability.I can't ask you to listen as hard as you can to convince Halka.He said cruelly that he would only be kicked down again.

Shiloh chews his teeth without thinking of his own powerlessness.But then I immediately noticed someone who could do it.

"Akira! Get back to her!"

"Go back... I don't know, but he's coming down."

Saying that, Akira looks towards Haruka.Halka was looking at Shiloh from the scaffolding on the outer wall.But I went back to the car and closed the door further.When Akira thinks of it as a strange thing, the ground shakes.It was a vibration caused by an intercity transport vehicle that had been parked until now.

"What's going on...?"

Silou shook Akira's bewildered shoulder.

"Akira! Just go!"Hulka's gone! "

"Hulka? He's not Rebecca..."

"You're telling me to go!"I don't have time to explain that! "

Akira was about to be washed away by the desperate state of Shiloh.However, Alpha's face sandwiched his mouth.

Akira, no. I need to open the gear case first.

I thought so too, and Akira regained her composure.

"Shiloh, I need you to open the gear case first."That's why I came here.Also, please explain a lot of things properly. "

"That's not why I'm doing that..."

Akira's eyes turned harshly toward Shiloh.

Gear up first.

So Shiloh stopped panicking.But I looked at Akira just as harshly.

"When your errands are finished, I'll prioritize my errands."That's the promise, isn't it? "

"My job is to get the gear."I haven't got it yet.If you don't open the case here, I'm going back to the city to open the case.Your errand is afterwards. "

Shilou accidentally puts Akira on the mackerel.But Akira didn't pull it either.

"Later, no matter how much your errands are prioritized, it doesn't mean that I will do anything without being informed."If you want me to do it properly, please explain it properly. "

During this time, intercity transport vehicles are gradually accelerating.The impatience broke Silou.Akira's camper ran away remotely from Shiloh.

"Open the case and follow the description! Get in!"

Akira and the others quickly jumped in the car.

Returning to the intercity transport, Hulka's face was sadly stained by the guilt of rejecting Shiloh.Still, remember your role and take command of the unit.

"... rescheduled. We won't wait for the retrieval team to arrive. Let's go."

At that instruction, the intercity transport vehicle that had been stopped until now starts to move.It was evidence that control of the vehicle was already in the hands of the Hulkas.

(How did Shiloh know I was here?Investigation of downhill heavy engineering? If Shiloh had acquired it and rushed to it, Slope Down Heavy Industries would have moved the army......)

Halka mourns.

"Shilou. Why are you in this place at such a time..."

It is to help oneself.Halka couldn't help but gladly felt it, and even more bitterly sad.
