Rebuild World

Akira had a sword full of strength, albeit with one arm. But Tsubaki doesn't make it microscopic. He seems to be picking pieces of paper and completely stops the movement of his body.

Stunning to Tsubaki, who suddenly appeared. Surprise at being horribly light-hearted about his own attacks. The question is why Tsubaki is here. A rush that has attacked a being that has some connection to Alpha. Tsubaki tells Akira, who accidentally stopped moving due to the mixed confusion in which they entered, as she smiled lovingly.

"Don't worry. I will not be willing to engage you. Give me the knife."

We're in battle now. I can't do that. Akira, who thought so, remembered the presence of Iri and turned to Iri and the others with a very hurried look. And dye that look with surprise. Iri and the others were all down on the floor.

Akira returns her gaze to Tsubaki as she deepens the confusion, intensifying her confusion from the assumptions she comes up with and asks.

"... how did you help me?

"It's not me"

"So why are those guys down?

"Probably because of the load caused by the sudden loss of the hub of the local network. Because of the reliance on the top node for overall control, information volumes and path manipulations may have temporarily gone wild and could no longer withstand their overload."

Tsubaki continues with a gentle smile on Akira's face that she has no idea what it means.

"It's not my fault. That's all you need to understand."

Tsubaki took his finger off the knife. Akira puzzles but keeps her knife in her sheath. If you are unwilling to engage, it is convenient and there is no such thing as winning in the first place. Akira knew about that, too.

"... So, what can I do for you?

"I thought I'd talk to you a little bit."

Isn't it creepy (first) to talk to Tsubaki in the absence of Alpha? But isn't it creepy (first) to teach Tsubaki the absence of Alpha? Akira, lost in reply, hardens her expression a little and returns a subtle answer.

"Sorry, I'm very busy right now. Can you come back later? Look, you know, fight or something."

"Now, while you're talking to me, let me assure you of your safety. How about that?

"... uh, as much as it's not surprising that I actually fainted right now. In a state where you can talk long..."

"Okay, here you go"

Tsubaki offered Akira an encapsulated object on his palm.

"What's this?

It's like a healing pill.

Akira looks subtly surprised.

"... something like that, I mean, isn't it?

"It's a matter of recognition. For example, suppose an armed complete prosthetic takes something and his arm grows. Suppose that even biological people who took the same have grown arms in the same way. Do you call something a healing pill? It's a matter of that extent. We guarantee that it is physically harmless. Yeah, I just gave you an example, and taking it won't grow an arm. No evil."

Akira was slightly lost but received and taken. He's dying and is running out of healing pills. I could not imitate (maniacally) rejecting it with unnecessary suspicion.

Your headache will heal as soon as you take it. The general pain also draws off, and the feeling of fatigue disappears dramatically. I always wondered a little how oral dosing could work so quickly, but I thought that would be normal for an old world made recovery drug, and the question of that hand was shelved.

"This is a little messy as a place to talk. Let's walk a little."

Tsubaki starts walking without any concern for the misery on the floor, etc. Akira saw the falling Iris and was a little confused as to whether she should stab him in the stomach. However, for this reason, it was difficult to tell Tsubaki to wait a little while, and he looked a little complicated before continuing after Tsubaki.

After Akira and the others left the scene, a thin shadow appeared on the floor of the room. The shadow stays close to Katsuya's body. When the shadow touched the blood flowing from the mutilated corpse, a footprint was attached there. Then the view above the footprint was distorted, and a cyborg appeared wrapped around the black coat that wrapped the entire body. It disarmed the optical camo.

A cyborg man sees a katsuya body with both eyes of a metal peeling (mu) head. And exhale slightly.

"The life-extension function…, can't you expect it? It will be too late, but I'll take care of it. It sucks, it becomes a part"

The man took out the blade and double-crossed the neck of the body, already double-crossed lengthwise.

Tsubaki brought Akira to the roof of the building. At that end, we look at the surrounding sights together, and we make a slight sentimental seep.

"It's a cruel sight, don't you think? This is typically the case for compartments where administrative personality is absent or (has) abandoned control. It's really lamentable. Remember the sight of my admin compartment? There will be a difference between cloud mud and this desolate sight. It's a gift of my relaxation."

"Ah, yes. Right."

Akira is a hunter. In other words, the side that destroys the ruins. I regarded Tsubaki's words as distracting dislikes, sarcasm, and rubbing (rubbing), and he was returning a subtle voice that rubbed up a little in an uncomfortable way.

"So, what's the story..."

Tsubaki stares at Akira as she smiles (cheeks), prompting her to the point with a creepy (first) deception. Akira stood still with a hard smile as she tried to do so.

"To be honest, it was surprising that you (you) survived. Oh, please don't get me wrong. I highly value you (you) for overcoming my expectations. That's what I mean. I wouldn't deny it if you asked me if it would have been good, but I've never intervened strongly to guide the outcome as expected."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes."

There were a lot of things that bothered me about Tsubaki's story if I think about it later, but Akira couldn't afford to pursue it right now. Since they didn't ask, Tsubaki couldn't even explain the details.

"… so let's get down to business. I want to do business with you."

"Deal?"

"Yes, we talked a little earlier, but managing the compartment is very difficult. I want you to help me manage it. Of course (of course), the reward will be adjusted to accompany your request as much as possible. Waste products coming out of my compartment should also be treated as very expensive items there. If necessary, give them non-waste items as well. Besides material rewards, I can give you a variety of things, such as residency rights in my compartment. I'd like to pack the details of the transaction on this occasion, but how about it?

"Hey, wait a minute!

"Yes, calm down and ask questions. If you can answer me, I swear I will not lie. Calm down, calm down, take your time."

Akira had shown considerable confusion. Various questions continued to arise in my head to oppress my thoughts. The rush stood out as a bump of calm stood nearby.

First we have to calm down and regain our calm. Akira repeated her deep breath, reluctantly judging that. He shook his neck sideways whenever he tried to unintentionally continue his thinking out of the various questions that come to mind on his own, and kept his consciousness (softly) out of doubt and breathing deeply. Repeated efforts rapidly allow Akira to regain her calm.

Akira exhaled loudly at the end. So when I recover from the confusion, I mouth the answer I thought with a calm head.

"Excuse me, I refuse to talk about it"

Makes Tsubaki look unexpected.

"May I ask why?

"Eh, I think we've talked about this before, and I'm in the middle of an Alpha request right now, and I want that story to go through Alpha. So, um, actually, I'm out of connection with Alpha right now, and I'm having a little trouble even if they talk to me right now..."

"I know you (you) and her are disconnected. So right now, we're hanging on to the story. To keep her out of the way of the deal."

"No, that's why I want you to talk to Alpha first..."

"Earlier, I said I would answer the questions about her without lying if they were answerable to me. Because it's important to facilitate the deal. Now you can ask me a lot without her interrupting me or knowing what I heard. Is it convenient for you? Rest assured. I know you're anxious that she's been grasping at you for a long time, but now she won't listen to this story. It's absolutely fine. Rest assured."

That's what Tsubaki said and smiled gently. But Akira makes a surprise face with it.

"Well, can you tell me the rationale for that okay?

"Because you will never be able to communicate with her in this environment of communication failure."

"You might be able to fix it while we're talking, right?

"I won't fix it."

"Why not?"

"It's because I'm the one who's causing the communication failure."

Akira's expression is strong. Tsubaki kept smiling.

"... I know there are circumstances over there, but if you can, disarm me now"

"I refuse"

Akira's expression gets even more harsh. But that's all. There's nothing you can do.

"It will be a long time since you (you) have not been watched by her either. We encourage you to enjoy this time and make the most of it."

"The price for that time is different. Dropped the car and the bike was dusty. I also lost all my guns and blew them up to my arm. It's scattered."

"I am now guaranteeing your safety. Don't worry."

Akira exhales and holds her head. I kept my mouth shut for a while and figured out how to improve things, but I couldn't think of anything.

"... let me check it for once. Deal or I'll kill you. Is that what you're threatening me with?

"No. I'm just leaving you here. That's the same as killing with a lookout, though I have trouble being told. If you accept the deal, we'll send you to Kugamayama City as part of the reward. I'm sorry, but I'm also bound by a lot of rules, and without that reason, I can't walk that way outside the control compartment. Please understand."

"Right."

Akira begins to worry again. I believe that it is possible to return to the city itself if the connection with Alpha is restored. However, for this reason, Tsubaki must be asked to remove the communication failure. If you're going to postpone the negotiations until you respond to the deal, you can't hit me with your hands. Easy to deal with, but that doesn't make any sense.

Tsubaki suggests in a gentle voice to Akira, who continues to worry with a rugged look.

"If my business with her leads to a breakdown, and you're afraid of retaliation, if you ask me to help you smoothly break your business with her as a reward for your business with me, I'll work with you whenever possible, right?

Akira gave a look of surprise. Deepen your grin as Tsubaki feels a strong bargaining response to the look of it.

But Akira changed her expression to something serious after opening it slightly.

"Again, I say no to dealing with Mr. Tsubaki. I have no intention of discarding Alpha's request. On top of that, if you've talked to Alpha about the job, think about whether or not to undertake it. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna bend over there."

After Tsubaki makes an unexpected appearance, he looks a little suspicious.

"With all due respect, for you (you), she should be nothing but an inexperienced being, something to call Alpha. If you are afraid of an unknown being with definite power, ask me a lot about her. I'll answer as best I can. Knowledge will also lessen the fear of coming from the unknown. What would you like to know?

"... what is Alpha? Honestly, I'm really interested, but I'm not clever enough to pretend I don't know. So don't ask."

Tsubaki deepens the color of doubt in his expression.

"You don't know. I don't think you have a reason to prioritize your dealings with her until you kick me in the face."

"It's like a little mean. I don't even want you to be convinced, and never mind."

"If I may, may I ask what it is?

"Alpha owes me a heap. So even in the sense of paying back that debt, I want to give Alpha's request as much priority as I can. That's all.... Well, it would be quite subtle if Alpha told me if I was giving it the highest priority, and I hate it. There, yeah, in due course."

Akira clouded her words with a zero (spill) bitter smile. Tsubaki has a serious face without giving back his love for it.

"Borrow, is it? Is that all you care about? She also has a convenience and a purpose. I think this is just the result of using you (you) for this reason. On the contrary, have you ever had a hard time because of her thoughts?

"Sort of. I do. The Weapon Dog I ran into when I met Alpha, maybe Alpha brought it in. Some monsters look like Alpha. I guess that was to see if I would listen to Alpha properly. The same goes for Serantarville. At that time, it was difficult for Alpha to suddenly disappear, but I guess that was to make me realize how far I could go on my own and how hard it would be without Alpha support. Maybe it was really a moment when he was gone, and then he just disappeared and shut up. The timing of my return was perfect, and the feeling that I was disconnected from Alpha was completely different than it is now."

"So why?

"Even if I offset that portion as a big loan, it's because I still owe more. I told you. He said he owed me a pile."

Tsubaki had revealed that he was not convinced. Akira continues laughing lightly at the bitterness of laughter.

"Before I met Alpha, I was just a kid in Slam Street. I go to the ruins to be made up of hunter operations and die of a monster attack normally. That's about the kid. Such a kid gained Alpha's support and became enough to hold a deal from Mr. Tsubaki. Stronger. I gained strength. I owe you so much. Or isn't this enough? Even Mr. Tsubaki, judging by what I'm capable of right now, held up a deal? You're not going to make a deal with me before you meet Alpha."

"I won't deny it. But the biggest reason you have gained so much strength will be your own struggle and hard work (occasionally) that has slipped through so many dead lines. Of course (of course) it must have been her help, but it's also her convenience. I don't think you need to feel that much gratitude, do you?

"Maybe. But that was all that big for me. I'm just taking it personally. I don't want you to understand."

"Is that even something that concerns your life?

"If that's the extent of it, I'm involved. If I hadn't met Alpha then, I'd be dead. As I said earlier, I received a heap of advance payments from Alpha, and I am far from fulfilling my request. I didn't do what I was given. Unless Alpha tells me you don't need to pay me back, but at least you're not going to step down on my debt. That's all."

Akira laughed to reaffirm her will and told her so.

Tsubaki has a pretty unexpected look on his face. But there was no doubt that I could not understand it there. And soothe the expression.

"You've been very courteous."

"No money, no power. Something a slum city kid can give you, like a brother-in-law and a life."

"Just because you don't have anything else to put out, doesn't mean you're not the only one offering it. There are many who throw."

Tsubaki is suddenly smiling in a very good mood. Akira was wondering to see how it was going.

"Okay. I don't want to upset you by postponing the negotiations any longer. Unfortunately, I'll back off."

At the next moment, Alpha appeared on Akira's side (buckwheat). Tsubaki unblocked communications.

"Akira! It's okay!?

"Alpha?"

Akira unwittingly turns her gaze toward Tsubaki in surprise. Tsubaki smiled back at Akira. Next, Alpha turns a very harsh look to Tsubaki. Tsubaki grinned back without wandering. Ning's (rather) Akira was deflected by the appearance of Alpha and Tsubaki hitting each other hard.

"Now, if you'll excuse me for this. Mr. Akira. Speak up whenever you change your mind. I'll be waiting for you."

A sword returns its heel and tries to walk away. But he stops a few steps ahead, looks back and smiles a little pranky (naughty) at Akira.

"Oh, yeah, I said something similar before, but if you don't get to talk to me, I don't have an in-laws to cooperate with you either. Please take care of what you've been hiding here to avoid interrupting the negotiations."

Akira looks surprised without knowing what it means. Tsubaki completely disappeared by activating the camouflage function with a smile on Akira.

Shortly afterwards, the view around Akira crushed. The view breaks and falls, as the view I was looking through the windowsill was the video of the display device. And a man-made weapon appeared from behind that cracked and fallen view. Zalmo's fuselage.

Akira is surprised, but that was the same for Zalmo. A rushing voice echoes from the speaker on the fuselage.

"Akira!? Stupid!"

Advanced enemy equipment on the fuselage showed that no one was on the spot until just before. Akira was the same, feeling no sign of the fuselage at all. Tsubaki had developed advanced camouflage capabilities around him.

Akira starts reflexively manipulating her body sensation time. In the course of that time, we have a high-speed conversation that is not verbally possible by pronouncement.

Alpha, do something about that! Can you do it!?

Alpha answers with an extra smile on Akira's side (buckwheat).

'I'll take care of it. But, you know, you're in a lot of cool shape with your body and gear, so you can't do that, can you?

"Give me a minute, will you? I've done enough for today."

Akira leaves herself in the movement of her fortified clothes with a bitter smile. It also squeezes the remaining power with superhuman physical abilities. Reinforced clothing injects all residual energy into it and raises the output to pre-runoff conditions where wearer safety is truncated to the limit. This dramatically improves performance only for a moment, and then packs the distance from the fuselage with the stepping of the master.

Attempt to point a giant gun at Akira as the fuselage rapidly disengages from the scene. But Akira was faster. Akira, who had already pulled out the knife, had been shown on the camera of the fuselage. He was shaking up a blade that emitted light, much further than the length of the knife.

At the next moment, its fullness is unbearably crushed and scattered with output. Finely crushed fragments everywhere become waves of light, transforming themselves into giant light blades. Akira, with the support of Alpha, shook down the light blade with a sharpened sword technique by the unusual.

The light blade doubles Zalmo's fuselage. As if either, or both, the fuselage or the light blade were illusory, the light blade passed from above the head of the fuselage to below the torso and was lightly torn in an instant.

The knife control device had already been modified by Alpha. The light blade, which had its original safety removed, was in an extremely dangerous condition demanding precise operation in exchange for its power. If you accidentally destabilize the ripple state of the slaughter, you could kill the handshake. With that hazardous material up to the limit of the output of the reinforced garment, it wields precisely, accurately, and at high speeds with significant physical capacity, such as inherently subtle movements. Alpha had easily achieved the extremely difficult control of its knife and fortified clothing.

Zalmo's fuselage splits left and right and collapses. The weight of the fuselage caused the floor to shake slightly. Akira hurried to fix her posture after being so loud that she could not withstand the slightest shake.

(You said you had such a hard time, but with Alpha, for a moment? I thought I'd gotten pretty strong too, but you mean I'm not yet)

Akira pointed her suspicious face at Alpha in an attempt to dance her only patterned sword to the sheath.

"Alpha. Now we're all out of weapons, are we okay?

"Maybe."

"Maybe!?

When Akira accidentally distorted (boiled) her face in response to the lack of certainty, Alpha also showed a slightly dissatisfied face.

"I can't say much either because Akira and I have just recovered communication and haven't grasped the situation yet. If you're unhappy, resent Tsubaki. It was Tsubaki who was causing the communication failure. '

"Sounds like."

Makes Alpha look a little unexpected.

"Did you know?

That's what he said.

"Yes."

In line with Akira, who answered lightly, Alpha was showing no particular concern either. But inside, I felt a strong concern.

Alpha thinks behind the smile, as usual. Akira lost her connection to herself because of a communication failure and probably caught a scattered eye. I'm losing even one arm. Then no wonder you resent Tsubaki harshly. But I can't feel any negative feelings for Tsubaki from Akira's attitude. If the reason for this is something that was in the process of being disconnected from me, I have to grasp it and deal with it.

"Akira. Though I'd like you to tell me what happened while you were disconnected from me."

Akira exhales loudly with her fed up face.

'... there was a lot going on. I'm tired, and you can talk about it later.'

'Okay. Later.'

A noise comes from the wreckage of a torn fuselage. It was the sound of Zalmo falling to the floor in an attempt to get out of both sections of the fuselage. The body had been slashed from the shoulder to shoulder by the fuselage with a light blade, losing half of the torso. One arm and one foot are unable to stand up, and the floor is proceeding in such a way that it does not move with a dysfunctional body. And I was ahead of Akira.

Zalmo gives a very harsh look. But there are no shards of fear of death. I raise my doubts stronger than hostility in my face, and I raise my inner doubts as I point my gaze at Akira, who sees things I don't know what I can do.

"What the hell are you?

"That's my dialogue. You blew your head off and killed him, didn't you? Why are you alive?"

"I am with the righteous. The cause of my death is immortal. I am immortal again, even more than righteousness is immortal."

"What the hell is that..."

Akira held her head to an unexplained answer. But I quickly changed my mind.

"Right. Then die as many times as you want!

Akira said so, stomping on Zalmo's head. Just in case (to be sure) you step on it many times and let it lose its original form in mind, disperse the contents, and leave it in a state of death, not serious injury, even by hunter's standards.

Still, Akira looked a little harsh. Even just before he was trampled on the head, there was no fear of death at all in Zalmo's expression. That fuelled Akira's anxiety and did not distort her expression.

"Alpha. There was one of them who attacked Cheryl's base with about eight men before, and there was one very strong one, right? I should have killed him, but that's what this guy looks like. No, that's what he said, you think it's true?

I can only answer if I don't know because I don't have the data to be sure that I'm the same person.

'Right. And you fought one like a giant before, didn't you? Some of them were like that.

Alpha also looks surprised by the boulder.

'Akira. What really happened while I was gone?

'There's been a lot... Well, I'll talk to you later.'

'Yes. Then just tell me first. Is she good to think of as an ally?

That's what Alpha said and pointed to the air. When Akira looked in that direction, there was Nelia running in the air toward herself. Akira also looks suspicious on the boulder.

'... what's he doing?

Looks like you're scaffolding Forcefield Armor, a force field armor deployed in the air. So, you're the enemy? Are you on my side?

"Allies,... I'd like to think so"

Akira didn't have the nerve to look at Nelia as she approached me holding the blade of both hands and tell me she was here to help. But when I saw that I danced the blade along the way, I decided that I had no intention of fighting and decided to wait.

Nelia, who has been running through the universe, lands on Akira's side. And look at the wreckage of the torn off fuselage, then laugh fun at Akira.

"I'm here to help, I thought I'd say, didn't you need it?

"No, you're welcome. So, why were you running in the sky?

"Hmm? I found Akira in the middle of killing a flying enemy, so I'm the only one who came first."

It was a reply that got a lot of guidelines, but Akira stopped worrying, deciding she would have a theory about being a lunatic.

A little late the transporter lands on the roof of the building. When Elena and the others came down to see how Akira was doing, it makes her expression look worryingly harsh.

"... Akira. Are you all right?

"Uh, you can't say you're a little okay. Excuse me. I don't think I can help as a combat personnel. And I'm sorry, can I have some extra recovery pills? Because I ran out of handheld. I'll pay you later."

Sarah gives her healing pills every box.

"Money's good. Spend it all right away."

Thank you. I'll sit down.

When Akira was wondering how to open the unopened box with one hand, Elena took the box and opened it, putting the contents on so much that it seemed to overflow (flood) into Akira's palm that it was stuffed straight into her mouth. Both Elena and Sarah looked painfully at the condition.

When Elena and the others decided that there was nothing else in their lives, they took Akira to the transporter and put her to sleep to rest. Then, for a moment, Akira's mind was relaxed when she took off the crisis and reunited with Elena and the others. A fierce sense of fatigue strikes Akira and her consciousness slowly blurs.

Elena smiles gently when she realizes how Akira is doing.

"Rest in peace, I'll deliver it properly."

"Excuse me...... Please…"

That's all Akira answered and fell asleep.
