Rebuild World

241 Reconnect

Elde opens the locker in the room with incredible physical ability. Sturdy doors deformed greatly along the inexpensive vault lines and were physically opened to mock (bruise) electronic locks. The contents were empty.

(... off again? Which one's the hit? This wasted lot of storage space, I guess it's been installed with that intent since the beginning)

Make your face unconscious and hang your hands on the door of the next locker. Likewise, when the decision was opened forcefully, it was empty. Shut the door ramblingly and kick it in. The door was devastated by a single blow. If there was a normal person in the locker, instant death was definitely there. That's why Elde was politely opening the door in a way to take the subject alive (to).

Elde and the others are aiming to abduct the target. If it's for killing purposes, the bombing of the door of the room is also being carried out with the momentum to blow up each room. Sprayed with expanding particulate gases with high-speed filter effect also because it does not accidentally kill the subject (to).

Erde and the others who broke into the room saw a sturdy large locker closed all by itself. It is clear that it was closed remotely. And find the skirt hooked on the door. The subject decides that he is hiding in it and immediately tries to open up the decision for everyone.

If you just want to open it, you can break the door with a knife that even rips the armor off of a man-made weapon. But there is a risk that they will kill the subject who will be inside. I have no choice but to slowly open it with incredible physical ability while increasing the power of the knife one by one. That's how I spent a lot of time trying to open the locker.

But there was no sign of Hikaru there. Hikaru's uniform hung on the hanger instead was installed to hook onto the door.

They tricked me. Was only buying time. Elde decided so and smiled at her face as she broke her uniform. And I try to find the room with my men. But when he noticed Akira's proximity, he sent his men to that interception and started searching for Hikaru by himself.

Break into the locked bathroom as hard as you can and check inside by putting your hands in a tub with colored water strained. No. Open the bathroom door. No. Peel the futon off the bed, pull the blanket round the mannequin and check inside. No. Find the locker with the gown hem sticking out. I don't know about it again, but if you make me think so and think the purpose is to remove it from the search, I have to find out. Carefully open the sturdy locker while taking care not to destroy each contents. No. Bathrooms, toilets, beds, lockers, I kicked and destroyed them after I checked.

If you're supposed to look it up with a high-performance information-gathering device, you can do it right away. However, the target could not be identified by the reaction of the information gathering apparatus due to an excessive increase in the information gathering jamming (jamming) effect of the expanded particulate gas, prioritizing communication jamming with the security side.

Still, right after I opened the door to the room, it was still easy to spot. But now the expanding particulate gases scattered in the passageway are also entering the room due to their high diffusivity. I spent too much time opening the large locker that I had first looked into (because of it), and I was bought that time.

(... yummy (first). Too much time. How much longer is the respite until the noise outside the vehicle subsides and the guard notices an anomaly in the vehicle and starts handling it?

And Erde has taken even longer because of what he is looking for alone.

(... Those guys, they're not coming home. If it's for two, it's not going to be easy for me. In this environment where the use of guns is restricted, even platoon opponents should be kicked. Too late to return to the boulder…)

The aisle is a little narrow for the three of us to intercept. My men are also very strong, and even if I go out to myself, I just get in the way of collaboration. In addition, after securing the target, the plan is to leave the opponent of enemy reinforcements to two to escape. Then you'd better stay on the search. Elde decided so and sent his men to intercept, but he was beginning to wonder if it was a failure.

I'm slightly unsure if the situation should continue. However, the search for Hikaru continues because of the trust in his men and the insistence that he has entrusted it to him. But I can't find it.

And I kept looking for it with a rugged look on my face, and then I stopped suddenly when I was almost done looking for a place that looked like it. That gaze is directed at the first large locker I looked for. The destroyed door remains half open.

The other lockers were kicking in and destroying them completely after examining them so as not to accidentally imitate (falsely) what they were looking for again. But the large locker is very sturdy, so I didn't get that far.

Erde was uncomfortable with that destroyed door. I felt like the opening and closing were changing.

"... No way"

Elde goes in front of the large locker again and opens the half-opened door with momentum. Then his eyes met Hikaru, who was smiling with a cramped (one) grin in his underwear.

Hikaru was hiding somewhere else at first. But along the way, he was turning his hiding place into a large locker. It's the hardest place to find it once I checked it. With that in mind, the idea was correct and contributed greatly to buying time.

Elde laughs lovingly.

"Were you in this place? I looked for it. Come on, let's evacuate. We'll take you to a safe place."

Hikaru also returns a cramped affectionate laugh.

"Ko, I think this place is pretty safe, too?

"Don't worry. The evacuation area is safer. Come on, let's go. Come."

Erde disappears and grabs Hikaru's neck.

"Don't resist one thing. Though intact is desirable, if it is not possible, the neck may be cut off and carried to the life-support device. You get it?

"Wow, okay."

Elde screams into the aisle as he grabs Hikaru.

"We've got a target! Leaving!"

If this brings my men back, we'll escape together. If it is impossible to go back, we will leave like this. To make that decision, Erde turned his consciousness to the aisle side and explored the signs. Then we catch signs of approaching at high speeds. Decide that your men will be back and wait. And the signs jump into the room.

The sign was Akira, not Erde's men.

Akira tries to point a two-handed gun at Erde. Elde puts Hikaru forward. In a still world due to extreme concentration, both probe each other for their reactions. And Elde decided first.

(This guy! He's going to shoot!

Erde instantly released a spinning kick into the air on Akira's side as he stepped out in front of Hikaru. At the same time as the preliminary motion of the kick, which should have been rolled out at that absolutely unreachable distance, Akira was also urged by Alpha's fortified clothing manipulation to take evasive action.

After Elde's kicking motion is over, he pinches for a short amount of time and is blown away like Akira was kicked over by someone he can't see. The defense itself was on time so there was no damage, but it only blunted the movement for as long as it regained its posture.

Elde kicked the deformed door and forced the locker to close as he pushed Hikaru back into the large locker. The distortion (boiling) of the door becomes even more harsh due to the forced (doing) closure, some of which is hooked and fixed, and cannot be opened by Hikaru's physical ability. Hikaru was trapped inside a locker that had been hidden until earlier.

The two rebuilt confront each other. Both of those faces are very dangerous.

"Alpha. Earlier, he kicked you, didn't he?

The attack from outside in time with a knife in the aisle was still understandable because I saw a flying light blade. But the earlier kick wasn't there either. I didn't even get kicked in the long legs I couldn't see. I was definitely shocked by the kick, after waving the kick empty.

'I'm pretty sure it's the other guy's kick. It's a high-speed filter effect that propagates the impact of kicking. "

What the hell is that?

"I dared to (ah) increase the resistance of the expanding particles in the air. I used a peculiar kick to create resistance even when traveling at low speeds. And on top of that, I intentionally increased that resistance, and flew it to its reactionary, otherwise scattered shock."

'So what is it? It is. Did common sense change because of the fact that you came to a fairly eastern region? The island is flying, the building is stretching upside down, stupid big bugs like the mountains are coming at us with swarms, monsters in the upper realm are leaving, I have guns. I lose in time to the knife ones, and kicks fly out of time. I just went a little east and it would turn too much into a demonic realm. What's going on around here, on the front line or something?'

I guess that's already awesome. It seems to be an area where more advanced old world technology remains intense, so be it. '

'Okay. Around here, no, I'll never go to an area east of Kugamayama City again. Decided.'

'If you like, but first, it's up to you to get through this, right?

"I know."

Akira was watching Elde's gap while finishing a quick conversation. Elde also remained silent in his grasp of the situation and Akira's conjecture. That was a small amount of time, but the confrontation between those who could kill the opponent in an instant if one of them was defenseless was turning the physical time of both into something intense.

Elde's gaze sharpens. Clear anger existed there.

"You must be her escort, right? Do you mean to kill me if I'm going to get caught? That sounds like a big corporate arrogance. Do you have anything to think about there?

When Akira is silent, Elde, who interprets the silence herself, shows contempt with her expression.

"Hmm. Don't you have any thoughts? As an agent, is that how you are educated? Born as a person, he grew up as a part of a company and died as a consumable. I don't remember any doubts there. That's crazy."

Something grandly misunderstood. Akira kept her mouth shut even though she thought so.

"Is it true that you are here that my men have been defeated? I'm Elde. What's your name?

When Akira shuts up, it strengthens Erde's disdain toward Akira.

"Hmm. Shut up, Rika. Or don't you have a name? Even if there is a name for a common standard, what is the serial number attached to the mass produced part in that standard? Born as a person, he grows up as a part of a company and ends his life as a consumable. That's pathetic."

Akira is still silent. Elde also stopped expecting Akira to respond.

"You let me die on my instructions. I thought I'd give your name to my men's tombstones, but I can't help it without a name. I'll mourn their bad luck when they've lost their lives to the dust mustard."

Erde erases his personal feelings from his expression and switches his will to the task. And before you move out, you get a response.

"It's Akira."

Elde gives me an unexpected look. Akira did not answer any further.

"... well. Those two names are Torpa and Salza. Take that name to the afterlife."

In his quest for a second, Elde wasted time listening to his opponent's name with respect for his men who gave their lives to the task, and used up time equal to that respect. Akira has done a minimum of courtesy to those who have shown respect for the death of her companions.

The look of the two switches. Show each other their willingness to die for their own work without disdain, and fly at the same time. With a combination of bare hands and guns, we both want combat at close range. Elde wanted the fastest settlement for the mission (for), and Akira wanted the fastest settlement for the time limit for reinforcement clothing and physical time manipulation (for).

Countless bullets splash all over the room, stopping them from moving in the air like they landed on an invisible wall with a fast filter effect. Its invisible walls are blown away by the aftermath of poking and kicking. Both jump around the room at high speeds as they continue to destroy scaffolding with recoil of movement. In just a few seconds, the indoor became a winding up of a wild attack, with floors, walls and ceilings flashly destroyed by every piece of furniture nearby.

In the command room of the transport vehicle, the work of confirming the damage to each vehicle was progressing in an atmosphere of relief (mostly) that gradually cured the situation outside the vehicle. As the damage to the vehicle body and security hunters is discovered, the relief (mostly) is quickly scratched off by the depressing atmosphere.

The commander's man exhales.

"... I just want to be glad that I managed to get through this, but in this situation, I don't think that's going to happen either. The emergency system continues. We don't have to take down any requests for rescue to the city. We haven't heard from Cars 6 and 8. What's going on?"

"Communication hasn't recovered yet. Restoration in progress."

"Send security personnel inside the car to check directly. That's how much you can do."

"Dispatched. I haven't returned yet. The effect of putting the vehicle in closed mode once seems to be the reason why it is taking so long to reconnect the train lines."

"Right. Just hurry it up. Ask the hunters outside to help. They'll be able to fly uncoupled vehicles to confirm it."

Copy that, sir.

Instructions fly quickly. Things continue to be collected afterwards, but information on cars 6 and 8 has not yet arrived. The Commander's face also starts to look suspicious.

"Hey, what's going on with the information on cars six and eight? It's too late for boulders. Let me return a detailed status report, even if it's late, or just a brief report."

The staff will contact the hunters immediately. The commander who heard the results intensified the tension. The contents were that the hunters sent to the vehicle to check the situation did not return. Several dispatches at a time, but all remained in a state of non-return. The hunter team side was also beginning to wonder about the boulder (just) and had just asked for additional instructions from the command room side.

The commander makes the decision and gives instructions with a harsh look.

"Instruct the hunters to take control of cars six and eight!

"Let it be, is it repression?

"That's right! Tell him we'll tolerate some damage to the vehicle! Get Cars 6 and 8 back under control now!

"Are you saying an enemy is breaking into the car!?

"Let us act on that assumption of anomaly! If you're worried, that's fine! Hurry!"

In half-heartedness, the inside of the command room rushes out again. The commander also wanted his own judgment to be incorrect. But the decision was right.

Elde's kick pierces the ceiling. The top layer portion, which is the decorative part of the ceiling, is crushed and splashed, exposing the inner walls of the isolation chamber. Akira, who was on the spot until the last minute, jumped backwards with the floor overhead and kicked, pointing the LEO compound gun in both hands at Erde. The goal is inside the effective range, which has been very shortened by the fast filter effect. If you hit it in the face, you can kill it enough.

But it doesn't hit Elde. Large quantities of bullets rush past Elde's side. Akira's aim had been deflected because of Elde's pre flying shockwave eating into the barrel.

Elde comes packing the distance. Akira kicks the ceiling and escapes to the floor. He then released a kick overhead at the same time as the landing, matching Elde's jump kick.

Akira's kick collided with Elde's, and shockwaves splashed indoors from the point of collision. Due to the grounding function of the reinforced garment, even though the scaffold had been reinforced in advance with force field armor Forcefield Armor, a large crack (crack) runs on the floor about Akira's axial foot. The surface of the floor is shattered and splashed.

Akira pulls her kicking leg quickly and points the gun at Elde over her head. Elde also pulls a kick leg in the air and releases a poke with both fists. A shock wave released from his fist hits Akira's gun directly. Guns protected by high-output force field armor, Forcefield Armor, are not scratched to that extent. But enough to drive the rays crazy.

Elde deflects Akira's rays and creates a crack in the barrage that is shot out. At the same time, he builds a scaffold with force field armor, Forcefield Armor, in a universe with nothing, and flies forcefully sideways with a kicked recoil. And he left the scene with a crack in the barrage.

Neither of them will then move into pursuit. Akira and Erde confronted each other again.

Akira has a very harsh look on her face. It's a coincidence that the muzzle was pointing down, and I don't want to point it forward because I don't want to move on from confrontation.

'... Alpha. What's going on with my legs?

'If you're in fortified clothing, you're still fine. It doesn't affect your function. But I've raised the power field armor output to the limit to match the kick, so I've spent a lot of remaining energy. "

'... who's biological?

"I'm glad you took plenty of extra recovery pills."

I didn't even see Akira, but I somehow knew my legs were messed up. Treatment is progressing rapidly thanks to expensive restorative drugs. But now I don't want to move a step if I can. The third load of reality resolution manipulation is also harsh (dull), passing on the limits my brain can withstand to Akira as a severe headache. Now I had narrowed the operating range to the perimeter of Elde and managed to reduce the load.

"It's tougher than when you're one-on-two. Really, why is Hikaru being attacked like this?

'If it was one-on-three at that time, you'd be dead. Let's just say we were lucky to be unhappy.'

'Why is my luck always the only thing left... You could stay a little longer......'

'Why don't you buy some time and even recommend retreating to try it? If there's any luck left, maybe you'll come home.'

Akira smiles bitterly at the suggestion. As soon as you open your mouth, you might use that as an opportunity for your opponent to attack you. I open my mouth even though I think so.

"Hey, let me tell you something, why don't we go home because we're gonna miss it?

Mix a surprising color with the harsh look Elde had on his face.

"You suddenly got weak. What kind of wind is that?

"It's not like I have a personal grudge against you. There was no explanation for the request I received to fight the strong one so far. So if I miss you, I don't think I'm going to get rid of the request, and I'm going to be okay."

"... I appreciate the generous suggestions, but let's just accept the feelings. I've already let two of my men die. I can't pull it off now to reward him for his death."

"Well, then, there's no choice."

"Oh, there's no choice."

Put down a little silence and suggest from Elde next.

"Let's make a suggestion, too. Don't you want to quit? If you don't think it's the right thing to do in the first place to fight me, then retreat should be an option. There will also be damage from request discards, but there should be a loss. Why don't you make a corporate decision?

"No, that's a little..."

"Why? Judging by that reaction, you think it's not the right job for you?

"I was told to help and I came to help, and I stopped them on the way because they were a little tough."

If you imitate (well) like that, you feel that even (just) bad luck is fatally lowered. Akira didn't put it in her mouth that far either. Erde looks surprised when he sees it simply as a emotional problem.

"I thought you were trying to shoot her.

"I tried to shoot him, but I took him off properly, and I was going to hit him where he wouldn't die if I hit him. I also have a healing pill. At the time of being replaced by a shield, it is also like having already been killed. It is the negotiator's job to do something from that state of affairs. I don't care if you ask me for that negotiating skill."

"I see. If it was too late, you were going to help."

Put down a little silence and Akira swings the subject again.

"So why are you after Hikaru? I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't think he's as important as you."

"Let's hear the opposite. If you're not an important person, why are you being escorted?

"Nothing. I didn't take on Hikaru's escort. It was the escort of the transport vehicle that took over. That's how you help Hikaru."

"You think you believe that?

"Even if they say so. Well, I'll ask you the other way around, but what kind of important figure is Hikaru when it comes to your perception?

"He's a former realm connector to the downhill heavy industry."

Akira's face is distorted by surprise. Because he is an old realm connector, something other than a simple surprise seeped into his expression. And Elde gets certainty from that Akira attitude.

"Was this one a hit? It was worth the quick division of the troops."

Scream so that Akira sounds like a hical in a large locker.

"Hikaru! I don't know what it is, but you're making a terrific mistake! No way to solve misunderstandings or something!? Or is Hikaru really an old realm connector belonging to downhill heavy industry!?

But when I heard that, Hikaru had nothing but surprise and confusion. I scream back so that I can hear it outside even from the gap between the doors.

"What kind of mistake would make me the old realm connector!?

"You know what! That's what they're saying!

Hikaru was cruel and perplexed, but half of the situation was convinced. If the old area connector belonging to the downhill heavy industry is to be captured (for), it is also possible to cause so much noise in the transport vehicle. And make haste stronger as well. I didn't think of any basis on which I could prove it was some kind of mistake against someone who would get that far.

In addition, I understood that it would be unpleasant (first) to prove it poorly. In some ways, the opponent has taken advantage of the old realm connectors in order to take them away. If you prove otherwise, you have no reason to give or take. In that case, the opponent may even execute an explosion of the transport vehicle in order to retreat. I couldn't say anything bad.

"A, Akira! Anyway, good luck! Please!"

"Don't tell me you're impotent..."

At least, I can't convince you. Akira laughed bitterly, understanding so from Hikaru's appearance. Elde laughs a little fun, too.

"If you can't keep up with your boss's arrogance, you don't have to put up with it, do you? As I was saying, it would be nice if you would step back. What I really didn't know was that it was too dangerous to adequately override the prerequisites of the request, such as the escort of an old realm connector. I don't think we're going to get rid of the request if we leave now?

Hikaru, who was clearing his ears in the locker, shudders when he hears it.

"Wait! Don't run away! Please! Help me! I'll do anything!

"... the reward will be played firmly!

"Wow, I get it!

Akira laughs lightly at Elde.

"For once, it's the right reward."

Elde also smiles lightly and returns it.

"Really? I don't think there's a difference between not taking that money to the next world and not getting it right."

"I'm gonna run out of it in the world."

"You can't."

Laughing invincibly at each other. And both begin to think it's time to cut this futile story off.

This is a waste of time. Akira treats both legs and reduces the burden on the brain. And Elde also relieves the load on the body (to). The load of kicking collisions had caused major injuries to both. If the target is not moving, I want to prioritize the recovery of the injury. So much so that the thoughts coincide. Time was on both sides until both legs healed somewhat.

But the more time you buy, the more the percentage that benefits from it begins to lean towards Akira. Over time, the concentration of dilated particulate gases diminishes, and the range of the gun grows slightly, just as the effect of the fast filter decreases. Propagation of shocks (starch) using a fast filter effect also becomes difficult.

Above all, Elde has time limits on assignments. Before the security side can detect an anomaly, it must seize the target and leave. If reinforcements on the security side rush, that's Akira's win. If you kept buying time, time was on Akira's side.

A few seconds left until the harm of time lapses outweighs the interest. Elde makes the decision first, and Akira perceives it. The grin disappears from his expression and his sharpness increases. In the next engagement, at least one of them dies. That's the other guy. That's what I'm going to be prepared for. Extreme concentration stretches those seconds everywhere.

In the meantime, Alpha tells you with a very harsh look.

"Akira, I'm going to use the trump card or my wife's hand over there."

"I guess."

"My calculations make me lose like this."

"Even with Alpha's support, I'm in trouble now."

When Akira answers that with a bitter smile, Alpha comes closer to her face.

'I didn't say that. But it is also true that they will surely be killed as they are. So, after understanding that this is all a critical situation, can we do something about Akira to cope with the crisis? I need permission to do that.'

Akira is also surprised by the boulder.

'I want you to say that sooner rather than later.'

Alpha also answers seriously.

'As I said before, at that point, I don't have permission. It has to be like this.'

"Oh, you're talking about that annoying permission"

'I'll tell you again. Position where I am making a request to Akira. I'm not going to hurt Akira any more than I support Akira as a reward. So, trust me, will you give me permission?

Akira answers without getting lost.

"Now. I don't know what you're going to do, but I don't want to die either. Do it. '

Alpha laughs happily. And that look changes into something clerical.

"In order to facilitate the implementation of more advanced support for Akira in crisis situations (in order to) obtain pre-recourse processing awareness information and partial intervention…"

"Allow"

The acceptance process is over and the expression returns to Alpha's face. A very happy, confident smile is directed at Akira.

'Thank you. As long as you have my support, you'll be fine now'

'Really, please. That strong one's on his way to death. Do something.'

'I'll take care of it. But Akira's burden is terrific, so make sure you're ready there, okay?

'I get it. You're in charge of me. "

Akira and Alpha laugh at each other. In a sense, the connections that were once disconnected due to communication failure at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street have now been gradually reconnected.
