71 Upholstery of Shame

Enemy enemies are not necessarily allies. But enemy allies are enemies. With Katsuya's remarks, Akira switched her perception of Katsuya and the others from irrelevant human beings caught by chance to officials extremely friendly to the enemy, that is, the enemy.

No wonder Akira attacked the Katsuya and the others when. Alpha, who decided so, stops Akira with a rugged look.

"Akira. No. I would never allow that. Includes seven to one, six internal combat personnel, and personnel who can fight Akira in fortified clothes in five minutes. Reckless as a boulder.

"Seven to one..."

Akira's whining is more about herself and Alpha. I would not have heard that whining (crushing) because it is something I would normally read.

But Akira, who had already taken a critical stance and had divided her focus into enemy alert and elimination methods, had forgotten her usual caution. For this reason, the whining (crushing) was well conveyed to the katsuya who were paying attention to the words and actions of their enemies.

I didn't think Yumina was a hunter who couldn't even understand the difference in power between Akira and us. So when I heard Akira whining (crushing), I expected the opponent to have no choice but to pull back considering the difference in power from them.

But a statement overshadowing it pops out of Siori's mouth.

"It's not seven to one. We will be neutral. We will not cooperate with either Katsuya or Akira."

Ciori says so, forcing Raina to (do) move behind Kanae and Ciori.

"Si, Mr. Siori!?

Yumina spoke out in a panic about Siori's unexpected behavior. There is no colour of reproach against Siori there. It was a pure surprise voice.

Both Katsuya and Iri were astonished by the cruelty, and they looked at Siori and the others to ask for their sincerity, without neglecting to be wary of Akira.

Akira turned her gaze slightly toward Siori and the others, alerting the Katsuya and the others without changing her expression in any way. Then he explored the movements of another group of enemies showing suspicious movements, the trends of Siori and the others who acted unexpectedly.

Siori, who is receiving the attention of both Akira and Katsuya, declares to both with a strong will on his face.

"Master Katsuya. That Master Katsuya will fight his life for any irrelevant person he meets for the first time. I (I) commend the deed and respect its will. But unless you're going to involve your daughter in that fight. Dear Katsuya, please respond with your discretion and strength."

Siori has a serious look on his face, giving him the air to intimidate both of them.

"Dear Akira. I swear that Akira will not attack Akira from us unless Akira tries to harm us, especially the lady, including by misfiring or misidentification. We ask you to make a wise decision to avoid unnecessary engagement"

Siori has declared that she will not cooperate with Katsuya or Akira to protect Raina. On top of that, Siori darkens, asking Katsuya if the Katsuya and the others need to put that much life up for Aruna, and Akira asks if they really need to fight Katsuya.

Both Akira and Katsuya have a choice to avoid combat. If neither concede on top of that, it would be their responsibility, including the consequences.

Siori takes a little distance from Akira and Katsuya and the others while retreating to steep (make) Raina, who has not yet recovered from her confusion.

"Lady, let's go"

"So, but"

Raina was reluctant to leave this place with the Katsuya and the others. But he swung the end of Siori, and followed the side of the katsuya, ready to die, and did not feel like killing each other with Akira. Neither attached to one of them, nor becoming a third party, was Rayna's choice.

Cioli declares with a harsh look.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Let the lady faint, but I will pull.... Lady, are you going to repeat it again?

Siori avoided repeating the content of the statement. To encourage Raina to think and let her guide herself through what she thinks sucks.

I think of all sorts of things that Raina can feel in an instant.

Akira and Yazima's contention in the basement. There was no material other than the testimony of both to be able to judge the truth, and Akira was telling the truth then. But there is no guarantee that this time it will be the same.

That Raina was caught off guard and taken hostage close to Yazima. If you approach Akira to forgive Akira, if you approach Aruna to protect her, Rayna may be held hostage again. Maybe Arna will take us hostage and Akira and Siori will kill each other again. Akira took me hostage, and now Katsuya and Shiori may kill each other.

Maybe Rayna will be wrapped around her feet again, and she will see those who kill each other for her own sake.

The remorse that had accumulated in my heart since that day made Raina decide.

"... Katsuya, I'm sorry. I can't keep up that much. For her sake, I can't risk my life that far"

Even as Raina, it was a bitter decision. But Rayna's love for Katsuya wasn't high enough to get her heart into it until she involved Katsuya's free goodwill and siori.

Yumina is pointing a slight pitiful gaze at Raina. Aili is pointing a slightly reprehensible gaze at Raina. In a way, Yumina and Iri are probably in love with Katsuya so much that they can martyr in Katsuya's goodness. To the extent that Arna is pulled from Katsuya's back and not kicked to Akira's side. To the extent that I would hesitate to do so and not like it from Katsuya.

Talk in a bright voice where Kanae doesn't read the air at all.

"Oh, I'm nothing. Is it better about the Katsuya boy?

But in the wake of silent intimidation from Siori, Kanae flips a light foreword.

"Without the present! That's bad! This is my job too! Your daughter's escort is my job! Then we're breaking up today! Come on, lady! Let's go home!

Kanae leaves early as she puts her hands on both of Rayna's shoulders and pushes Rayna. Siori thanked the Katsuya and the others and followed them after Kanae.

Akira squeaks after Raina and the others are far enough away from Akira and the others.

"Four to one..."

Katsuya and the others were following the departing Rainas with their eyes, and their awareness of Akira was shredded. But when I hear the whining, I return to battle.

Katsuya and the others have not yet set up a gun to Akira and pointed it at the muzzle. However, the fingertips extend to the immediate side (buckwheat) of the equipped gun. The moment the Katsuya's fingers touch the gun, Akira may react to it and attack it reflexively. That judgment had stopped Katsuya and the others from behaving in a far-fetched manner.

Akira's whining (crushing) forced Katsuya and the others to reconfirm their situation, four to one, not three to one. In other words, Katsuya and the others must fight Akira while protecting Aruna, who will surely be there.

The Katsuya and the others are making their expressions very harsh. The time that passes while maintaining extremely high tension in front of the enemy under harsh conditions wears off their spirit. That gradually reduced the time remaining for Katsuya and the others to get into action faster than Akira did.

Akira looks at the Katsuya and the others without changing her expression. The hostility and warfare against Arna and the Katsuya who are protecting her from Akira's eyes is not shaken by shards. Akira does not move into action simply because of the difference in power with the Katsuyas.

Akira doesn't want to kill Arna until she trades her life for it either. Otherwise, Katsuya and the others were in action when their consciousness deviated from Akira.

From 7 to 1 to 4 to 1, the battle power gap between Akira and the Katsuyas narrowed considerably. Still, Akira's chances of winning haven't taken off the reckless range. Even if you made a mistake or acted on the premise of Akira's death, Akira is unlikely to win.

Akira's reason keeps pushing forward and opening the edge of the war. Akira's hatred suppresses retreating and retreating from this scene. As a result, Akira couldn't move again either.

It was Alpha who created the opportunity to change the situation. Alpha reprimands Akira with a harsh look.

"Akira. Pull. Now, on this occasion, there must never be a reason why we have to kill her at the stake of our lives, ignoring the clearly unfavourable difference in power, without waiting for new equipment to be available if we wait a little longer. What Akira's trying to do now just seems like a shame to me. If you fight, Akira will surely die. Akira. Can't you follow my instructions? Can't you believe what I'm saying?

Listening to Alpha doesn't change Akira's expression. I keep an eye on the rashes without stopping hostility.

But there were other changes. Akira stepped back, not neglecting her guard against the katsuya, but leaving the katsuya without showing their backs. As it is, Akira moves away from the Katsuya and the others one by one. Until Akira disappeared behind the alley where Arna and Akira came out, Akira kept looking at the Katsuya and the others without changing her expression.

After Akira disappeared, the signs disappeared, and enough time had passed, Katsuya and the others slowly lifted their guard. The Katsuyas, freed from the tension of the battle, exhale loudly.

The Katsuya and the others are greatly tired even though they haven't even fought. Mental wear is more severe than after a bad fight. It would also be due to the lack of experience in interpersonal matches. Good, legitimate hunters with a big backing named Drancam rarely have a chance to kill each other with their enemy hunters.

Katsuya and the others had a lot of combat experience in hunter activities, but they had never been hit so hard with hostility and killing intentions from someone to this point.

Rarely does Yumina reprimand Katsuya violently for her.

"Katsuya! I'll never forgive you for this again!

Katsuya disagrees unexpectedly.

"You're telling me I should have turned her over to him!?

"Not that way!

Katsuya's objections were crushed by Yumina, who further ravaged her voice. Yumina's extra temperament makes her squirm.

"If Katsuya hadn't said something extra, it would have been a stream where everything seemed to be fine!? Why did you say that?

"Oh, I didn't think you'd get mad that far."

"What I'm asking is why I said it! Or did Katsuya mouth something like that thinking she would laugh and forgive me to that extent!?

"Ku, my mouth slipped. Oh, sorry."

Katsuya apologized to Yumina as if she was sincere. He seems to be only reflecting.

Yumina also regained some calm by exhaling her inner dissatisfaction. After exhaling deeply again, loosening the expression that had been strongly attached to her, she stabs a large nail (crease) in the shine.

"The next time I do the same thing, I'm gonna modify Katsuya's mouth and throat with prosthetic parts, and she's gonna stop talking without my permission, right? That's good, huh? Okay?"

"Wow, okay."

Upon hearing Katsuya's desperate reply, Yumina slowly lowered her drink. Yumina, who regained enough room to play Aruna's opponent, speaks out to Aruna, who is still confused (blurry).

"I'm sorry. It's a mess because of Katsuya."

Arna hurries to thank the Katsuya and the others.

"Yes, no! I'm sorry that I'm the one who got involved! Thank you so much for your help. I sat down. Thanks to you for your help."

Arna was looking at Katsuya with a hot gaze somewhere. As for the gaze at the opposite sex, which saved my life in distress, it would not be surprising. Arna is no exception.

Aili was observing Katsuya and Aruna's removal one step away.

Unlike Katsuya and Yumina, which consisted of hunters from relatively privileged environments, Iri became hunters from relatively underprivileged environments. Iri had inferred from past experience that Akira's story was probably true.

Aili was unsure whether to tell the Katsuya and the others about it, but eventually decided to remain silent. Because if Aili tells the Katsuya and the others about it, they will also teach them the basis for that decision together. Besides, I wouldn't bother to tell the truth and upset the rashes. Because it's already done. That's what Iri thought and said.

Akira walks down the alley in Slam Street. Akira was aiming for the base of her original destination, Cheryl. That look isn't much different from when you left the rashes.

It is creepy (first) for Akira to meet someone while in this state. Further extra rubbing may occur due to slight shaking of the situation. Alpha who decides so speaks in a gentle voice that calms the other person down.

"Akira. Why don't you take a deep breath?

Akira stops and sees Alpha silently. Alpha smiles.

'Hmm? You don't know how to do this? Should I explain how? Or should I show you an example?

Even if Akira silently sees the unusual expression, Alpha's smile (cheeks) will not break. The tone is the same as always.

Akira takes a deep breath in silence. As it is, Akira takes a deep breath over and over again.

Finally Akira exhaled heavily. Akira's expression had recovered to the point where she was slightly depressed by mild self-loathing.

Akira apologizes to Alpha for reading.

"... sorry"

Because of what we talked about in the pronouncement, or because Akira's various moods intersect to convey to Alpha as the words of apology go. Apologies, regrets, hindsight, and gratitude.

It's okay.

After taking them, Alpha replied as if it were nothing.

Akira walks out again. Alpha also walks beside Akira.

"Now I'm counting on Alpha."

'Can I count on you more? Say anything you want me to do.'

'Even if you say so, I've taken care of you enough already. On the other hand, isn't there something Alpha wants me to do or something?

'Right. I hope you don't die until you've fulfilled my request.'

"... I'm sorry"

"Yi"

Akira apologizes honestly, and Alpha smiles satisfactorily.

Akira came all the way to Cheryl's base, but decided to leave without going inside. Saying you've regained your composure doesn't keep you calm as usual. It could unwittingly hit Cheryl harshly. It would be better to change the day.

Akira returned her heel to her house.

Two girls appear there after Akira leaves Cheryl's stronghold, one a common girl in Slam Street named Nasha. And the other was Arna.

Arna asks Nasha anxiously.

"Nasha. Are you sure you're okay?

"It's okay. I've heard so much about the inmates here that I've made my decision. I don't think they're going to kill me or strip me of my body if I refuse to join the party here.... maybe."

Nasha and Arna had hoped to join Cheryl's inmate party.

Cheryl's inmate party, though small, attracted strong attention from the slum city boys and girls living near here.

That they are all of good age to call themselves children, starting with Cheryl, whose constituents are the bosses. It must nevertheless be well run as an organization and keep its constituents safe to some extent. It was becoming more widespread to be a relatively good detachment party, such as being able to secure certain guns and food as well. There was a gradual increase in the number of people who wanted to join Cheryl's inmate party and give (slightly) to the benefit.

Nasha laughs and talks as she blows Arna's anxiety.

"First of all, Arnab must have been the one who rushed me, right? What's Arnab gonna do with me now?"

"Well, that's true..."

"I don't know why, but the inmate boss here is letting his men ban stealing and killing. So even if Aruna joins the Jailbroken Party, Aruna shouldn't be allowed to surrender. First I go in first and see if it really is. Arna will come in with me when we can get confirmation. That's the plan, isn't it?

Arna speaks with regret.

"Nasha. I'm sorry. For my sake, I made them imitate me by myself. Be really careful."

"Good. I had the opportunity to come in here, too, and it was just right."

Nasha puts her right hand out to Arna to remind her of something. Arna takes the note out of her nostalgia and makes Nasha grip it.

Neither Nasha nor Arna expect to join Cheryl's inmate party without a legend or money. At the same time, he also believes that it would be relatively easier to join the Jailed Party if there were a souvenir or care to give to the Jailed Party boss or the person under his command. The plan was to use the money without Arna and Nasha for convenience.

When Nasha finished counting the notes she had received, she made her expression look harsh.

"90,000 Orum!? Arna, you're making a little too much money!? Gonna die!?

Nasha also well understands Arna's means of making money. The amount given by Aruna is enough to come and take it back in madness to death if you are a resident of Slam Street, enough to kill but take it away.

Aruna answers Nasha with a mixed and desperate look.

"I know! I told you earlier!? I was really about to die! I was lucky enough to get help, but it was critical! I know, so I'm hurrying Nasha! So that you don't have to be sleazy to live! Don't let me see you like that anymore!

Remembering Akira following herself, Arna shivered lightly, recalling how Akira was when she was confronting (taunting) the Katsuya and the others.

Nasha looks at Arna, who is frightened, and hugs her to calm her down. Arna's tremors healed slightly.

Arna hugs Nasha back and talks.

"I'm sorry. Nasha, be very careful."

"Arna worry more about herself than I do. You need to hide, okay?

Arna and Nasha broke up with each other by showing each other off. Arna headed to the Slam Street safe house, and Nasha was ready to go inside Cheryl's stronghold.

Akira has a day to continue her training and studies without stepping out of the house. Because I decided not to go outside as long as I could until I got my new fortified clothes and got back the Alpha support that came with it.

Maybe this is bad luck. They must have stolen my wallet. Akira was caged in the house for a good reason.

Akira ran out of luck with the luck of meeting Alpha. So basically unlucky. I am overcoming that bad luck with hard work and Alpha support. At that time, alarm had quashed that effort, and the lack of fortified clothing had reduced Alpha's ability to support it. That's why I exposed myself to the ugliness of getting my wallet stolen. That's what Akira thought.

It's a baseless story, but it's also true that Akira would not have been stolen if Akira hadn't been alarmed at that time, or had received support from Alpha for manipulating the fortified clothes. It can also be said that Tsujitsu (Tsujitsu) fits somewhat. That was a good basis to take to Akira.

Even as an alpha, I want to avoid putting Akira out now to increase the likelihood that something extra will happen. At least until Akira's new equipment, especially new fortified clothing, came along, Alpha wasn't willing to let Akira out.

Because Akira and Alpha are in agreement, Akira continues her training without going outside the house.

Akira's training in somatosensory time manipulation is well under way. Akira's strength has not improved dramatically, but the number of successful compressions of her physical sensory time has gradually increased. As before, training is also no longer terminated on the grounds that fatigue prevents them from moving. However, this is also because Alpha has narrowed the interval between attacks, considering the extent of Akira's fatigue.

As a result, when Akira finished training in physical time manipulation, it was the same as before that the excessively decorated costumes worn by Alpha had reduced the fabric to the same extent as completely naked.

As much as Akira fails to avoid Alpha attacks, the amount of fabric that Alpha has wrapped around her decreases. The last fabric danced away from Alpha's body into the universe, disappearing without sound as it were.

A dressed alpha wearing only ornaments that are not as good as hiding the skin will mark the end of the training to Akira, who is tired and rough to breathe.

"That's it for today. Good Luck '

Akira looks at Alpha's outfit as she prepares to breathe.

"What's wrong?

"... no, that outfit"

"Hmm? As a dressed porn Akira, don't you like dressing like this?

Answer in such a way that Akira is only slightly oriented.

"No. That's not what I'm talking about. Even though I was able to manipulate my physical senses for a little while, my Alpha outfit at the end of the training hasn't changed since I started this training. Which means that my inevitable attack on Alpha hasn't changed. That's what I cared about."

Akira was unhappy and anxious about the results of her training. I had no real sense of my own growth.

Alpha smiles to reassure Akira.

'I can't help it. Even if Akira's physical sensing time is tenfold, Akira's physical abilities are not tenfold. It's hard to adjust the movement of your conscious body to the actual deviation of your body so that you can move freely on it. It's not going to improve so quickly. It's alright, little by little, but Akira is moving better. I promise. "

"... well. I don't really feel it, but I guess if Alpha says so."

'That's right. Rest assured.'

"Okay."

Akira regains her mind and tries to go back to her room to rest. I hang my hand on the door that leaves the garage, where I stop moving once and look at Alpha and talk to him.

"Put your clothes back."

"N"

Akira pointed me out, so I undone my clothes as Alpha told me.

Akira also switches consciousness during training. At least that's what I try to do. Therefore, I don't care much about Alpha's outfit. In other words, when Akira's consciousness switches again, it's different after she leaves the garage where she's conscious as a training ground.

After training Akira is eating while taking a break as usual. It's an irreplaceable frozen food.

Akira's house also has a kitchen and cookware. A souvenir of the previous inhabitants. But of course, he didn't even leave me with cooking skills, so Akira can't cook or anything. Frozen foods are quite delicious, and Akira has not been willing to make them herself so far.

Until Akira's standard of living improves further and Akira wakes up to the entertainment of cooking her own dishes, there will be no opportunity for these cookware to be fully utilized.

Ask Alpha about her studies after this while Akira continues her meal.

"What are you studying today? A continuation of yesterday's society? About the distribution of resources and transactions among the governing corporate cities in the area of effective control of the Eastern League of Governed Companies?

Akira, who only knew about the Kugamayama city where she lived, such as the name of an eastern city, was also recently gaining common sense knowledge through Alpha education. The achievement, or Akira's desire for knowledge, was growing slightly. Even though Akira is gaining common sense, Akira's knowledge is still awkward compared to that of humans living inside the city walls.

Alpha gives Akira knowledge because it is more because of (for) than because of (for) Akira.

Alpha scrutinizes the knowledge she gives Akira and how she teaches it. Make it easier for Akira to achieve Alpha's purpose. To make it easy for Akira to have a natural and suspicious sceptical backlash against the doctrinal claims that could hinder Alpha from achieving its aims.

Akira's studies had important implications, both for Akira and for Alpha.

The study was scheduled to take place again today, but Alpha stopped doing so.

"Not today. I heard from Sizka that Akira's new gear has arrived, so let's go get it."

"Whoa! Now we can finally get back to hunter operations. Let's go right away."

In order for Alpha to achieve its purpose, Akira must be strong. Akira's improved equipment and increased proficiency take precedence over Akira's studies.

Alpha was smiling and watching Akira.
