Rebuild World

60 tide time

Kane continued to be on guard around the building. The surrounding conditions are gradually checked with information-gathering equipment built into heavy reinforced clothing. Kane's extended vision shows changes in the surrounding conditions. The detected contents displayed there indicated that the concentration of fog without a single area of color had dropped substantially.

The colorless mist will clear straight away. That's not convenient for the Kanes. If the colorless fog clears that is blocking communication between the underground and the makeshift base, Kane's presence will be exposed to the defense forces at the makeshift base. We have to withdraw it before then.

"It's late. What's Nelia doing? If it's her strength, there shouldn't be any problem..."

Kane highly values Nelia's prowess. Especially not those who can beat Nelia in melee. If you fight at close range in situations where heavy reinforced clothing is unavailable, it will also be possible to kill Kane and the others alone. If Nelia's strength would kill Akira and come back soon. That's what Kane was thinking.

But that nelia hasn't come back from a fight in a narrow building. This is an anomaly for Kane.

You'll hear from me within that. Contact me during the battle will get in the way. Kane avoided making that decision and contacting Nelia from herself. But I came here and began to wonder about the situation, and I withdrew the idea.

Kane contacts Nelia.

"Nelia! How long have you been hanging!

Nelia's voice returns looking in a good mood.

"Kane, this is a good place. If you're not in a hurry, could you come back later?

"You must be in a hurry! The colorless fog is starting to clear! It depends on the facility's facilities, but worst of all, communications may have already been restored! Don't say" nabu ". Clean it up! Or are you taking the trouble to authenticate because of the body fragmentation?

There's no such thing as "nabu." I don't have that kind of taste. "

"So there was a problem with authentication, too? Did Yajima's bastard make a setup to never go through authentication?

"Not that way either."

Kane perceives the situation on Nelia's side and speaks out loud without believing it.

"... No Way"

'That's what I'm talking about. I can't believe there's a place like this where you and I can do pretty much each other in close combat. It makes sense that Yajima will be killed. He wasn't as strong as me either, but he was pretty strong. That's why I was in charge of the underground. You didn't even follow Yajima. Then I'll cut it off with this because it's distracting. Bye.'

Nelia cut off communication with Kane.

Examine the information Kane obtained in her conversation with Nelia.

"... even if Yazima was just murdered, the calculations are wrong. On top of that, this situation. Is there an error in the information from the comrades? Or is it the result of an overlap of unforeseen circumstances? Either way, the plan needs to be revised."

No one listens to Kane alone. The tone was different from what Nelia and the others were talking about.

Nelia, who disconnected from Kane, quickly packs her distance from Akira and slashes her.

"Please wait. I'm sorry. I just got a little reminder from a buddy of mine to talk a little bit. Did I make you wait?

Nelia was distancing herself from Akira while she was talking to Kane. The movement was slight but dull.

Since Nelia was approaching some limits, I wonder if she was trying to distance herself and see how things were going. Isn't this battle thinking of retreating because you don't think it's right for you? Akira had such pale expectations when she saw how Nelia was doing, but those expectations were lightly smashed.

Answer as Akira responds with desperate shapes.

"Don't hesitate to talk to me forever!

Speak with Nelia's inviting look.

"You're not getting along. It's cold. You're not hot with that attitude, are you?

"I don't want to be hot on the one with a hobby to kill each other with my lover!

"I don't have that hobby. I told you, didn't I? It's the colour of life. You can't have a tasteless, dry life, can you?

"I'm in the middle of a life of raw hatred and waves!

"Really? Then enjoy!

Akira slashes me with Nelia's fun-loving look on her heart. Battle bodies that emphasize mobility over defense flex beautifully, and limbs that combine functional beauty with female body beauty accelerate the blade of liquid metal. The blade is so thin that the other side is likely to see through it, it passes through the stiff debris so lightly that it wants to doubt its existence, and approaches Akira.

Move the Nelia blade forcefully with fortified clothing to remove Akira from pain for any reason other than the analgesic action of the healing medication. If we lose the energy in the fortified clothes, we won't be able to move another finger. Akira's brain continues to recommend Akira to pass out even though she is in battle. To that instinctive defensive reaction, Akira continued to defy him in a madness of death.

Akira's limits are close. In contrast, there is still room for Nelia. If the same situation continues to change, Akira will almost certainly die.

The circumstance changed what took its limits before Akira did. It was this very place where Akira and the others were fighting.

The ceiling has already been chopped up many times by Nelia, on which some of it has been destroyed by Akira and Nelia kicking it at the same time. The floors had also been slashed many times by two people during their engagements with each other and their intensity had dropped dramatically.

The ceiling collapsed earlier. Collapsed ceilings fall on Akira and Neria as rubble of various sizes falls. Originally, it is not that difficult for two people to wipe down the debris they pour.

Except in situations where there is a peek at each other to deal with rubble. Both understand that the gap is fatal, and the two of them have abandoned their response to the falling debris in order to gain an advantage over their opponents.

The impact of debris falling from the ceiling onto the floor took the floor, which was already largely brittle. Akira and Nelia looked at each other, keeping their opponents alert, caught in the collapse of the ceiling and floor.

Some of the debris falling on the floor downstairs moves. Nelia was standing up retreating from the rubble.

"Absolutely no rubble in our way."

See the pattern Nelia is holding in her right hand. I was losing my body. I tried to manipulate the pattern again to regenerate my body, but the silver blade never molded. Broken by impact, no more liquid metal to mold the body, or no more energy.

Nelia throws down the pattern to see what's going on around her. I don't see Akira. Probably buried in rubble. We shouldn't be able to avoid rubble in that situation and prepare for an ambush. That's what I decided.

Alpha appears in Nelia's sight looking around her. An alpha is lying on the rubble with the motion amputated and completely immobile. Nelia, who is adding the information obtained from the map of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street to her sight, was able to see what Alpha looked like.

(That's probably his buddy, the one who killed him then. Was it worth killing for crushing the expensive relics? I don't know how strong you were, but if you were as strong as him, you'd have lost 2-on-1)

Nelia watches Alpha. Alpha disappeared only momentarily from Nelia's sight and returned to normal again. This is because the source of the visual information was changed to the function of the prosthetic body only for a moment.

(The fact that you can't perceive her with my prosthetic sensors is pretty advanced camouflage. I can't even see the blood around me. Advanced camo functionality unlike simple optical camo. Probably old world technology. Did my alarm create a gap where my attack was not detected by the target?

Nelia decides that Alpha is real there. Because I saw myself attacked and cut off. Traces of spilled blood were also natural, and there was no room for doubt if only vision.

Nelia, who has finished checking the situation, turns her gaze to the subject of the highest priority. Akira. Akira rose from the shadow of the rubble and fell apart.

I approach Akira as Nelia flutters. In the wake of the collapse of rubble, there was also a heavy load on Neria's prosthesis.

"... well, let's think about it a lot later. First......"

Nelia smiles lightly. Akira didn't have a sword. Instead, he was trying to stand with a CWH objective assault gun instead of a cane.

"… First, I have to kill you!

Nelia runs out for Akira. The motion collapsed a little. This is why the body is damaged. Still decided it was possible to kill Akira now, and ran out laughing for a settlement to continue the fight.

Akira, who came out of the rubble, collapsed independently of her will. I tried to get up in a hurry but my body didn't move well. Akira's body and fortified clothing were heavily overloaded to deal with Nelia's attack.

"Alpha. My body doesn't move well. Can't you manipulate fortified clothes with Alpha?

'I'm sorry, but I can't. Some of the enhancement clothing features and some of the controls were destroyed in the previous attack. That's why fortified clothing doesn't fully accept my manipulation. "

Alpha's support for Akira's fortified clothing has been greatly lost. In other words, Akira's combat capabilities are drastically diminishing. I understand that. Akira smiles bitterly and eats her teeth off.

'At a time like this? It's not like you're not moving, is it?

'It should be possible for Akira to move it. The input system of the operation is different from that of my operation. I still have the energy from the fortified clothes. If you're willing to move, you should.'

'Really? The one who collapsed is just not motivated enough by me to try to move?

"It is true that it has become difficult to move fortified clothing because of all the damage. I'll do a lot of things to see if I can manipulate the fortified clothes. I'll make the backlash, so do whatever it takes to buy time. '

Copy that. Hurry up.

Akira manages to get up by replacing the CWH objective assault gun with a cane. The severe pain running all over his body continues to inhibit Akira's movement. Gaze at the approaching enemy as he endures that severe pain eating up his teeth.

Nelia's prosthetic body had dropped its output significantly. But still, it packs the distance from Akira at speeds beyond the constant.

Akira sets up a CWH objective assault gun to pull the trigger. But that move of putting up a gun without Alpha's support while withstanding severe pain is too slow compared to when you were dodging Nelia's blade.

Nelia kicks into the CWH objective assault gun faster than Akira pulls the trigger. The bullet fired from the deflected gun flies into a place of misunderstanding without even plundering (causing) the nelia. A CWH objective assault gun was kicked out of Akira's hand and rolled onto the floor a little further away.

Nelia hits Akira again. Akira kept trying so hard to prevent it. Akira's fighting skills had improved considerably with her training with Alpha. But not high enough practice to fight back against Nelia. Akira was desperate to continue her defense.

Every time Nelia attacks, Akira's bones become damaged and her muscle fibers become damaged. Looking at Akira, who is completely on the side of the war, Nelia continues to attack more aggressively with momentum.

Seeing Akira lacking so much definition of movement that she seemed separate compared to her earlier battles, Nelia overestimated the extent of Akira's injuries.

It is simply because of the loss of Alpha's support, and because the movement now is Akira's original strength, but Nelia doesn't know that far. Nelia smiles lightly.

There's no shadow to see my blade moving! I'll kill you before they put you back on your feet!

Akira continues to outsmart Nelia's onslaught on the spot. You can't get away from the scene, not just because you're wary of Nelia attacking you from behind, but because a CWH objective assault gun is rolling nearby.

If Akira escapes the scene, Nelia will take the CWH objective assault gun. At that point, Akira's winning chance of losing her effective means of attack disappears completely. Outside the building, Kane is equipped with heavy reinforced clothing to withstand the attack of a CWH objective assault gun. He is not an opponent who can fight with an AAH assault gun. If he knew Akira had no effective means of attack, Kane would come and kill Akira without worrying about the bomb.

Akira's eyes and consciousness had been able to react to Nelia's attacks. But the body wasn't. Fatigue and severe pain dull the movement and Nelia's attack pierces the sweetened defense, hurting Akira even more. Akira's fortified clothing itself was also starting to break down gradually with overlapping loads.

Akira would be lightly killed by Nelia when either her body or her fortified clothes reached their limit.

'Alpha! I'm approaching the limit, but what's going on with the counterattack gap you said Alpha would make!?

"There are not so many chances. Almost there. Look behind her. '

Akira looks behind Nelia. Alpha stood a short distance from Nelia.

Akira gives me a surprising look. Nelia is unaware of Alpha, so even if Alpha is behind Nelia's back, she can't be distracted. Even if an alpha with no entity strikes from behind Nelia in the first place, it cannot injure Nelia. Akira didn't know what Alpha's actions meant.

Nelia decides from Akira's gaze that she has someone behind her back. But the sensors of the prosthetic body indicate that there is no one on the spot. But Nelia's slaughter of Alpha led her to determine that there was someone with advanced camouflage functions that could not be captured by the sensors of the prosthetic body.

Nelia got the Alpha move behind her from the map of Kuzsuhara Street ruins. Further, from Alpha's movements, he instantly determined that he was unaware that Nelia had noticed his presence.

Nelia flips herself in an instant and at the same time releases a spinning kick. A complete counter that poked at the unexpected of the opponent attacking him from behind. That's what Nelia thought.

Nelia was stunned three times. That the person who attacked me from behind was the person I was judging dead. That Nelia's kick, which she tried to tap (just) into the person, passed through the opponent's body without any resistance. And nothing. That Akira kicked Nelia in perfect tune with the move the moment she kicked into the air and Nelia collapsed. Everything was unexpected for Nelia.

The kick Akira unleashed with all her might blew up Nelia, who was greatly out of shape. Neria's prosthetic body is not of such a soft structure that it is damaged by the extent of Akira's kick. But it was a blow to overshadow the situation.

Nelia was at the extreme of the confusion. Numerous questions about stunning continued to run through his brain and deprive him of his cool thinking skills. The confusion did not heal when Nelia was beaten to the rubble, but was interrupted by the sight of Akira, who pointed the gun toward Nelia.

Akira kicked Nelia's ass before rushing over to the CWH Object Assault Gun to grab her. And in a agile move, he set up a CWH objective assault gun, aimed at Nelia and pulled the trigger.

A dedicated bullet from the fired CWH objective assault gun hits Nelia's torso directly. Nelia's abdomen is blown up and the mechanical parts splash around her. Nelia's split upper and lower body were blown away by the impact of the landing and rolled to the floor separately.

Akira shoots Nelia even more. I shot it all up until the magazine was empty, but I was only able to destroy Nelia's lower body and arms and didn't hit a single bullet in the head. That was not intentional. Akira was all for Nelia's head, but she took it all off.

Akira pounds her tongue. You can tell by looking at Nelia as a prosthetic body. Then at least I can't feel safe without destroying my head.

When Akira kicked into Nelia, it was Alpha who moved Akira's body. Alpha had already regained control of Akira's fortified clothing at that time.

Alpha didn't immediately start supporting Akira because it was to induce Nelia to be alarmed. Even with Alpha's support, it would not have been possible for Akira to win in that situation without Nelia's alarm.

And because Akira devoured Neria more than Alpha expected, Alpha was able to explore Neria's gap (sukiri) to its limits. The struggle was fruitful and Alpha's measures were successful. Akira was able to reverse from her place of death.

Alpha has already regained control over Akira's fortified clothing. Akira was aware of it. That's why I thought the support on shooting was back.

But no matter how many times Akira shot him, there's always no sign of hitting Nelia in the head. The rush and perplexity come to Akira's face.

'... I don't hit it! What's going on!?

"The performance of the fortified clothes is degrading and the aim is off when the shots are fired. The recoil is even stronger because we use special ammunition. It is not possible to control the recoil with hardened clothing that is about to break. It wouldn't have been possible to hit the other guy's torso without my support, would it?

Akira replaces the magazine while listening to Alpha's description.

'What can I do?

'We just have to get closer and shoot. I wouldn't recommend leaving it alone. Even in that condition, if you put on the heavy-duty fortified clothes you were wearing outside again, you'd still be able to fight enough. "

"Hopefully, if you kill him, the other one will run away"

"I hope so."

Akira and Alpha made a hopeful observation, thinking neither of them would.

Kane continues to be on perimeter alert outside the building. The concentration of fog without color has already dropped to normal value.

Communication between the temporary base and the underground would have already been restored. No additional contact has been received from Nelia. From those circumstances, Kane concluded.

"It's tidal time."

Kane's heavy-duty reinforced clothes back opens. Rather than wearing heavy reinforced clothing, Kane pops out of it in such a state that it is incorporated as a control device. Both hands and feet were folded but stretched out in the air to land securely.

In contrast to the appearance of heavy-duty reinforced clothing, Kane's appearance was very skinny. Thin hands and feet are like insects, and the torso is equally elongated. The head, which has no human hair or skin, has a mechanical appearance like a man-made security robot. It turns out that it is a clear combat cyborg, not a prosthetic body that resembles a living person in appearance. The closest place to a human being is with two hands of five fingers, but it's also a bumpy metal skeleton.

Heavy machine guns and sniper guns pop up from the rear of Kane's heavy reinforced clothes. They're both large guns that don't presuppose biological use. Kane grabbed one of the flying guns with his slender arm.

Even though they both weigh quite a bit, Kane hasn't broken down at all. Evidence that Kane's body is so high-output and high-performance that he can't think of it from his skinny appearance.

Nelia's heavy-duty fortified clothes walk out on their own. Seeing it, Kane decided Nelia was manipulating it from inside the building, convinced that her expectations were correct.

Kane remotely manipulates heavy reinforced clothing. A huge gun muzzle held by Kane's heavy-duty fortified clothing is directed at Nelia's heavy-duty fortified clothing. Countless bullets released from huge guns crushed Nelia's fortified clothes in a fraction of time.

"I'm sorry. Just in case. I don't want to be left behind."

Kane left his heavy-duty fortified clothes on the spot and left the building alone.

Nelia was alive while losing her lower and both arms from her torso. Nelia's prosthetic body is the type of prosthetic body to hold for a few days, even if it is only in the head. I will not die to this extent.

But in the sense of being able to survive this place, Nelia's survival was hopeless. Because Akira with a CWH objective assault gun is approaching Nelia.

Akira is going to kill Nelia for sure. Nelia is still alive, not because Akira intends to kill Nelia. It just keeps removing Nelia's head even if it's aimed at her because of fatigue, injury (injury), or damage to her gear. I could understand Nelia to that extent as well.

Akira points a gun at Nelia, possibly aiming at Nelia's head, pulls the trigger, removes it and makes her expression rude, approaching Nelia with vigilance. Akira is repeating it.

If Akira gets close to Nelia at once and snuggles the muzzle on Nelia's forehead and pulls the trigger, that's the end of Nelia. The reason I won't is simply because I'm harshly (horribly) wary of Nelia.

That Nelia is clearly superior to Akira. Akira was under barometric pressure on Nelia. I cannot assure Akira that Nelia has definitely lost her ability to fight even in this state. They were delaying Nelia's death.

Nelia is laughing even in this state. Akira still had a winning eye for it even in this state, but it looked like she could afford the late. Akira became more alert and blunted her walk closer to Nelia.

Nelia is not laughing because she has a chance. Nelia's grin, in one way or another, is for not considering her own death anything else special. Until when you die. But to that extent. I could afford to come from that perception.

But Nelia doesn't want to die either. I'm going to do my best for now. So Nelia had called in the heavy-duty fortified clothing that she had once left outside the building, although she didn't expect to make it.

However, the communication with the heavy reinforced clothing was cut off.

(... my fortified clothes destroyed? What's out there?

Communication enters Nelia from Kane. It's a complete internal communication, so I can't hear it outside.

"Nelia. What happened to you?

"Kane? Actually, I'm a little clumsy. I'm sorry, but can you come over here and help me?

Answered like Nelia was nothing. Because the possibilities for improving the situation must be raised marginally.

But Kane picks it out and answers.

'Right. Did you lose?'

If I tell you exactly what's going on, Kane won't come to help Nelia. Talk like Nelia is nothing.

'It's just a trick. It'll help if you hurry.'

But Kane goes on.

"At least you've been hit to the point where you can't move straight (decent), right? That's in your eighteenth melee, too. If you're not, there's no way you're going to let heavy-duty fortified clothes get in the way of you in an indoor war. Oh, I destroyed your fortified clothes. So it's no use waiting for your fortified clothes to arrive. '

"Oh, cool." I told you not to do it on your own.

'I'm sorry. There's something going on here. "

Nelia spoke that way very normally, and Kane answered that very normally. There was some sort of anomaly there that took the lives of others lightly.

Kane goes on to talk.

'Well, I'm sorry I broke your fortified clothes on my own. So I'll send you my fortified clothes instead.'

'That would help.... Send?

'That's right. Send only my heavy reinforced clothes. Automated driving. I run away. I don't want to fight anyone who beats you in a melee. It is then set to flashy up indiscriminately. The colorless fog is clear now. The city's defensemen who were contacted may be coming close by. If my fortified clothes were flashy, it would be about a "decoy" that would lure the city's guards or something. Be well, then.'

That cut off communication with Kane. I'll try reconnecting with Kane, but I'm not responding at all. Nelia squeaks.

"… at all, if you want to give me fortified clothes, please give me the access code with you."

Nelia kept thinking calmly in the abyss of death. He kept searching for the best way to survive. Akira's bullet landed on Nelia's side (buckwheat), and even if it was slightly blown away by the impact, he kept thinking without panicking about the shards (shards).

"Well, will you just do it"

Nelia smiles joyfully when she puts her hopes on the measures she comes up with.
