Rebuild World

150 Sijima Disaster

Akira and the others, who finished the mock fight, return to their original location once. Ask the Elios, who are aligned in the way Akira is somewhat discouraged.

"I tried again, do you have any questions? If not, we'll resume immediately."

Elio and the others are going to ask a lot of questions. Akira answers the question as she listens to Alpha.

"It showed a lot on the borrowed goggles, but what is that?

"The combat training system does a lot of things. It's mainly for learning troop behavior, but it also does a lot of hitting and displaying their positions. It is displayed on the display device of the goggle. If you follow the instructions, you can learn the exact behavior in battle. Next"

"How do you know where we are and where Akira is? How do you know that the bullet that didn't fire hit you?

"I make a lot of calculations and judgments from car enemy equipment, my information-gathering equipment, transmitters and aimers that are getting to the goggles and guns, etc. Next"

"The line out of the gunpoint disappeared along the way, but what am I supposed to do when that happens?

"Replace the magazine. It also calculates the number of remnants. Shooting up the remnants will do so until you replace them. It's a magazine for that. It's meant to cover or be covered by allies who are exchanging magazines. Now I'm set to be able to shoot again if I wait a while, but I'll change that. Next"

"It shows the position of hidden enemies and allies all the time, but I can't believe we all know where they are, so is that training?

"You're the only one showing the position of enemies and allies. I don't have that support. There is also no indication of ballistic predictions. There is no instruction from the combat training system. You fight while you know where your enemies are, so learn how to push them and how to move unnoticed by your combat training system after you live (y) that advantage. You may think that combat training in a state where you can always keep track of the enemy is useless in actual combat, but it is possible to create a similar situation. Running a high-performance security system by installing a lot of high-performance enemy equipment inside Cheryl's base would be an environment close to this training. Next"

Question from Elio and the others stopped. Akira tries to close the reception for questions.

"Are we done with the questions? Then we'll get back to work."

Elio asks Akira in surprise.

"Wait! Were we the only ones showing enemy positions and movements? No, you're not?

The question from Elio and the others was stopped because it was surprisingly solidified. Akira answers normally.

"Oh. There's no one here."

"Ho, really?

"It wouldn't be training in the first place without that much difference. Gear isn't like that either. I'm wearing fortified clothes, and I have intelligence-gathering equipment. If you don't have as much handouts as that, it'll just be over as soon as I unilaterally clean you up. It's a boulder, and that's not training."

Elio and the others are out of line. I thought Akira was just as aware of the enemy hiding behind the walls and rubble as we were. I thought they were displaying a line of ballistic predictions for enemy allies and predictions for their next move. But in fact, we were the only ones to receive that overwhelming advantage, plus an eight-to-one victory.

If we don't do that with Akira, it won't even be a serious fight. Elio and the others were stunned by the isolated difference in strength.

Seeing the silent Elios, Akira tries to end the question.

"Are we done with the questions? We're gonna start again?

The boy who returned me asks me not to be scared.

"... well, I, I couldn't read the letters of instruction, how can I"

"... somehow interpret and move what you mean by displayed arrows and shapes"

Akira had lost sight of the possibility that her opponent could not read the letters. And I remembered that I used to be, too, and I had a slightly more complicated feeling.

Akira resumes training with Elio and the others. I fought the simulation over and over and both fought desperately.

Akira has about 50% chance of winning. Akira wipes out Elio and the others. The last of the Ellios defeats Akira by crushing the others. Such results continued. Alpha's adjusting a lot so that's what happens.

Akira, hiding in the shadows, asks Alpha.

'Still, it's something that makes the Ellios so strong just because Alpha is in command. I don't think Alpha's giving you instructions, but unlike me, it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to move properly.'

'Right. Even Akira tried to move on without following my instructions at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. "

Talk with a bitter smile as Akira remembers her faults at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street.

"I'm so sorry about that verse."

Alpha laughs lightly and answers.

'Well, I do a lot of things, too. For example, if I move one of them to the right, that person should read the instructions on the display surface of the goggle, understand the instructions, then turn right, check the situation on the right or the safety, and try to go right. If it takes ten seconds for someone to perform a series of actions, I'll give them instructions to move ten seconds in advance. That's how they move their opponents efficiently.'

'... are you even doing that? How do we find out that it takes ten seconds?

'A lot. You can give a lot of instructions in letters and shapes to measure the amount of time that the person receiving the instructions actually moves. I'm assuming from the fatigue and tension of the parties, the surrounding conditions and the difficulty of the instructions.'

Akira is impressed and convinced.

'I see. You're doing a lot of things.... I recklessly went exploring the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street alone where the slum city kid is so dangerous that he came back alive from it and still does hunters like this. Is it any wonder you can do that? "

'That's what I'm talking about. It's good to see you, isn't it?

'Oh. I really appreciate it. I'll return the debt by completing Alpha's request, so just wait for me.'

Akira answered lightly. But the word is untrue. I really appreciate Alpha. And no matter how long it takes, I'm ready to complete the request from Alpha.

Alpha smiles contentedly and joyfully at the insides of Akira.

"I hope so."

How strong are those guys with Alpha support?

"You helped Elena and Sarah at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street, didn't you? A little weaker than Akira was when she got my support. Only in the middle of this training."

'... all of us?

"No. That's about all eight of them."

"... it's a struggle."

You're fighting enemies of your age. And it's eight to one. Akira laughed bitterly, but was only a little happy to realize her growth as she was able to fight them.

Elio and the others are moving to take distance and surround Akira. The battle has not yet begun. It went on a few times that Akira assaulted the Ellios, who had not yet moved much after the battle had begun, and wiped them out as they were, so it was only after that that that Ellios were positioned to begin.

Letters appear on Elio's goggles. Elio reads it.

"In the future, if you pull the trigger outside of the proper shooting position, do you decide that the ballistics have been significantly deviated by the recoil of the gun and omit the hit judgment?... how am I supposed to hold it?

Elio sees the gun. The line of ballistic prediction that was stretching out of the muzzle was disappearing. If you are confused, you will see a simplified display of a person holding a gun on your goggle. Elio tries to imitate it and put up a gun.

"... like this, huh?

When Elio stood firm with both hands, the lines of ballistic prediction stretching out of the muzzle became visible again. Try holding a gun appropriately with one hand to try. The line of ballistic prediction has disappeared again.

"You mean hold it properly with both hands. But Akira was shooting in an unassuming (muddled) position with one hand... Oh well. Is Akira wearing fortified clothes so she can hold back the recoil with one hand or if she's out of shape"

Examples of various shooting postures also appear in the goggles afterwards. Elio tries those shooting postures. When you hold the gun properly, the line in the firing position disappears, so you modify the way the gun is held each time.

When Elio looked at how the other boys were doing, the other boys had a lot of trial and error, just like Elio. The atmosphere of a group of amateurs with guns is felt to be commonplace. I guess the other boys will have the same sentiment when they see Elio.

"... looks like a long way to go"

Ellio came to training ready to gain as much strength as he could to protect his lover Alicia. When I defeated Akira in the first place, I surprisingly gained a little confidence that it was going to work out, but that just got a little dispersed.

Ellio grasped his immaturity and realized the length of the journey (Minori) to overturn it. I mourn my incompetence (fuzziness) and exhale, calling my lover's name with my heart to reinvigorate my mood and change my mind. I've already made up my mind. I'm not willing to screw it up to this extent.

The simulation battle is resumed. Elio ran out forcefully.

When Akira and the others were training in the wilderness, a man named Sijima held his head in the lower section of the Kugamayama city.

Sijima is the boss of one of the inmates countless in Slam Street. And I've had experience with Akira before. A man named Wataba, one of Sijima's men, threatened Akira when he tried to rob Cheryl and the others of their stronghold.

Wataba was killed by Akira at the base of Cheryl and the others. Akira came straight into Sijima stronghold with Wataba's body. Sijima and Akira were in a state of one-touch immediacy.

If Akira's strength by then, the Sijimas would have been able to kill Akira. However, Akira and I made a good deal and did it peacefully because Sijima would wind up and die in the circumstances. Making Akira pay also preserved the sizimas' face.

Nothing happened for a while. Sijima was going to take over Cheryl and the others' stronghold if Akira died from hunter operations or something, but she never went into any major action because Akira kept living without dying. What Sijima was doing was to the extent of regularly confirming Akira's life and death.

One day, one hunter caused problems in the territory of the Sizimas. The hunter pulled out his gun and made a scene while he was chasing someone.

Slam-street parties like the Sijimas are also responsible for maintaining law and order in some ways in their territory. Letting those who carry out shootouts in the territory go wild is lethal to the detachment party, which maintains its territory by force. If the violence is lightened, it can even affect the collection of royalties and other charges, and in the worst case, it can be attacked by other inmates.

Sijima usually finishes things by collecting apologies from the hunter who caused the problem. Engage if you have to, but it's not meant to be. I can take the money from the hunter. I can rule it out if I have to. It would be enough if we could just show that we retain such force.

Sijima tried to look into the noisy hunter and deal with it as usual, but there was a problem there. The noisy hunter was Akira.

Sijima was endangering Akira. Instead of Akira's strength, he was jeopardizing the nature of Akira, who had gotten into the stronghold of the Sijimas in view of the killing with the Sijimas. Because those who do not hesitate to differ from their opponents, even if they are inferior in strength, are troublesome to those who do not want to die.

However, Akira cannot be left behind for the sake of the party's face. But it's not good enough to fight people who are likely to strike at the top of the line. Sijima was worried about how to respond.

Another piece of information came into that sizima. Akira was a sleazy idiot, and on top of that, she was intimidated by a child hunter and a huge backward hipster, information that broke Akira's figure that Sijima thought of.

Sijima was even more troubled when she heard the information. Are you making the wrong decision about yourself that endangered Akira, have Akira's personality changed due to dying from the ruins, etc., or have you got the wrong information? Sijima couldn't make a decision.

Sijima asked Viola to investigate Akira after she was troubled. I had heard about the poor quality of the viola, but I had heard about the height of its skill as well, because I had also heard about the fact that it would not be a problem without even hostility. Viola assumed Sijima's request after prejudging that it would take a little time for Sijima to do so.

And now Sijima has her head. Because Sijima heard the result of a request from Viola.

Sijima yells at Viola over a call on an information device.

"Hey! Don't be ridiculous! What do you mean! Explain it! Let a little sleigh or something target Akira to investigate Akira's strength and personality! That's what we were talking about! How did that get Akira in Cheryl and the others' stronghold to attack an armed group?

Viola's voice, which makes her feel spared, is heard from Sijima's information terminal, in contrast to Sijima's voice, which yells.

"Take it easy. Investigation of Akira's strength and personality. It's an unscheduled situation, but it would have served its original purpose well, wouldn't it? You said you (you) weren't satisfied that those sleds were caught in incomplete information and targeted Akira. You're doing just fine."

Akira is an affordable duck for Suri and the others. It was Viola's job to get that kind of information to the Slam Street informant. The client is Sijma. To reaffirm Akira's handling of Suri.

Sijima grows even more irritated and angry at the viola tone that makes her feel spare.

"Good for you, then!? Why am I involved in that raid? That raid will be your work! I'm irrelevant!

"Please don't say bad things about people. I had nothing to do with that raid. I just passed the information on at your request. The raiders only attacked Cheryl's stronghold based on information that would mislead Akira's prowess. Based on the information you (your) requested. What happens if Akira finds out about it? The assailants attacked Cheryl's stronghold at your command. Yes, Akira and the others may misunderstand me. We didn't just talk about that possibility. Is it true that you're after Cheryl and the others? Sometimes you want Akira to die at that convenience. There is no connection between you and the assailant. Nor did you hire the assailant. I just don't know if Akira believes it or not."

Sijima's expression turns into something bitter. Because I understand that Viola's explanation is partially correct. In addition, Viola understands that it is also possible to mislead Akira so that it is convenient for Viola. In other words, if Viola cares about it, Sijima and the others will kill each other with Akira.

Sijima already understands Akira's prowess. Because Viola taught Sijima Akira's strength.

I have earned over 100 million aurums from the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. He participated in the Bounty Neck Crusade Squad to achieve results. He has made as much as 500 million aurums by breaking into and surviving the Serantal Building in the ruins of Mihazono Street, which the city considered dangerous. He defeated eight armed like hunters by himself. Viola had provided Sijima with evidence showing Akira's strength.

Akira's strength is no longer in the hands of Sijimas. Akira has gained strength that could devastate the Sijimas while maintaining her recklessness when she boarded the Sijima stronghold. If you are hostile to Akira now, it is not a burn (burn).

Sijima's expression darkens the colour of her impatience more than that of her irritation (needy), and she asks while reflecting that appearance in her voice colour.

"... what are your demands?"

Answer in a tone that just says Viola is fun and out-of-heart.

"Oh, I didn't ask for anything, did I? This conversation is a bit of a service based on a report of having completed a request from you and a sales policy that values my customers. That would have been useful information, wouldn't it? It's supposed to be information about taking money, right? Or should I have known nothing? Could it have been an extra favor? I'm sorry. I'll keep my mouth shut without telling you how upset you are."

Sijima closed her mouth trying to scream at herself, devouring her teeth and enduring the fierceness. Then continue the conversation, trying to be calm or not.

"... thank you very much for your valuable information. In return, can I help you with something?

"Oh, that's rude of you to say no to me. Then I have one favor to ask you. May I?"

Viola's good mood voice is heard from Sizima's information terminal. A poor quality woman explains a poor quality story, in a poor quality voice, in a good mood. Sijima took on the glossy viola story if only her voice.

"See you later, then."

"... oh. Please."

Sijima hung up the call. Sijima screams as much as she wants afterwards.

"Shit!

Sijima's shouts rang all the way outside the room.

Akira and Elio's training didn't set a particular end time or anything, but it ended because Elio and the others reached the limit of their health.

Akira's voice announces the end of the training from a comms machine that is arriving at Elio's goggles. When the exhausted Elios finally get some rest, they put their guns on their canes in a relaxing motion and head to the carriage of the car.

I look around before Akira goes back to the car and exhale a little discouraged.

"... you've been dead a long time"

In the wilderness where Akira and the others trained, countless Akira bodies were rolling. It is a fictional corpse that only looks like Akira and Alpha, the result of Akira screwing up in training, and the end of Akira if the training was in action.

Talk to Akira, who is distorting her expression to mourn her incompetence, so that Alpha can cheer her up.

'Well, here's the thing. If you think of it as a result of my engagement with the troops in command, you've got pretty good results. Elio and the others had my support. "

'... right.... do you?

"Yes, I am."

That's what Alpha said clearly to Akira, who complains and questions. When Alpha told me that, Akira had to convince me too.

Alpha smiles invincibly.

"Or is Akira also unhappy with the quality of my support that drove Akira so far?

Akira answers clearly.

"No, there isn't."

'Isn't that right?

Alpha replied, smiling satisfactorily.

Akira regains her mind and answers.

'Right. Alpha support always helps. Thank you. Then go home.'

Ask Alpha as Akira remembered on her way back to the car.

'... Speaking of which, this is my training, but it's also Elio's training for once, isn't it? What does Elio and the others look like? You got pretty strong with this training?

'Well, you've been trained by me to bend over, and at least only to be sure I'm stronger than they were yesterday. Even in terms of training efficiency, they are far stronger than they are voluntarily trained. Ask them to continue to train as Akira's training opponents and to increase Cheryl's own strength to reduce the chances of annoying Akira's hands. "

Akira remembers how Ellio and the others were constantly breathing and about to fall after training.

"... I feel subtle if they want to get the same training again."

'Let's ask Cheryl then. I'm not supposed to say no.'

"... no, well, I guess so."

It's not a bad idea for Cheryl and the others. Cheryl would happily agree. And the Elios won't be able to disobey Cheryl's instructions. If you disobey Cheryl's instructions, Elio and the others could be thrown out of jail.

Akira felt a little sympathy for Elio and the others.

After training, Akira and the others returned to Cheryl's base. In contrast to Akira, who looked a little tired, Cheryl's men were pulling a little when they saw Elios in a fatigued state like after a long period of forced labor.

Cheryl gave instructions to Elio and the others to rest long enough before heading with Akira to her room.

Akira gives Cheryl a light explanation of her training with the Ellios before continuing.

"... that's why I think I can continue to train regularly. I also told Katsuragi to include the cost of the training gear in the cost of Cheryl's gear, and I think it would be better to continue in the sense of making use of it. If it's for my convenience, it's my training."

Cheryl says thanks to Akira as she smiles.

"Thank you. I'll sit down. I think Elio and the others will be delighted."

Is that really true? Does Cheryl seriously think Elio and the others will be happy to answer? Or am I just answering that to get in my mood? Or is it a response for the sake of the interests of the entire detachment party and finding it beneficial? Akira thought so.

Akira takes a closer look at Cheryl than usual. Cheryl smiles in a good mood. Akira doesn't look like an act to me about Cheryl, and I can't do anything to read behind it, even if it's an act.

Cheryl notices how Akira is and asks with a slightly strange look.

"What's wrong?

"No, it's nothing"

Akira answered that and stopped caring any more. It's up to Cheryl and the others to continue their training. That's not what Akira cares about.

Cheryl was firmly guessing Akira's attitude. I had grasped correctly that Akira had thought of something and then decided that the thought itself was trivial (tsp) and stopped thinking further.

Cheryl reconfirms her words and actions just in case.

(... you must not have said anything to undermine Akira's mood. It's okay. It's okay.... Should I ask you what you were thinking for once? No, you're bad at trying to sound worse than Akira said it was nothing. Let's stop)

Cheryl smiles and thinks a lot behind her. So that Akira's distractions and Cheryl's happiness will last forever, so as not to undermine her mood.

Cheryl regains her mind and tells Akira.

"I'll change the story, but Sijima contacted me. She wants to meet and talk to me and Akira once. What shall we do?"

"Sijima? Who was that?

"I'm the boss of another detachment party. He's the boss of the Jailed Party who joined Akira once before."

"Oh, that's him. Why don't you and Cheryl talk to each other?

"No, I'm not the only one who really wants to see Akira."

"Why?

"My guess is, when I hear that our stronghold has been raided, I think I'm going to meet straight up to see if Akira and I are safe or not, exactly, hiding a major injury or death."

Akira hears Cheryl's speculation and is convinced.

"Oh, you know what?"

Turning this down poorly may cause trouble again when Sijima decides that Cheryl and the others are likely to have lost a back shield named Akira. I want to avoid cumbersome fights until I update my gear. Sijima won't judge herself as one of those kids, either, as she did before. We should have enough power. Akira thinks so and answers with a little tiredness, considering the battle after the Sijima side has aligned (about) enough fighting power.

"... I'm tired already today, after tomorrow, okay?

"Okay. I'll tweak it."

Cheryl had decided the reason for Akira's reply was simply because she was tired. I didn't even think I answered on the assumption of engagement. There were still significant discrepancies in Akira's and Cheryl's perceptions.
