Rebuild World

Sicarabe and his friends were fighting the raiders around Cheryl's stronghold. That face is steep. But it wasn't because of the strength of the enemy.

"... aren't there any Katsuyas?... were you worried?

This is the only time the remnants of the Katsuyas will attack Akira. As Commander Kurosawa determined, Sicarabe and the others were outside the base. Quickly locate and destroy the Katsuyas that will interact with the raiders and leave Slam City as it is. That was the plan.

But I can't find the katsuya. And the other raiders don't have to distinguish and ignore each other's opponents, Sicarabe. Because of this, Sicarabe and the others were forced to fight unnecessarily without any obligation.

There's a transmission coming in from Kurosawa. Sicarabe and the others maintained a communication environment by borrowing Elio and the others' lines, and maintained communication even under the current communication failure. After hearing the instructions, Shikarabe unexpectedly looked suspicious.

"... retreat to your base? What do you mean by that?

Cicarabe does not question the withdrawal itself. Though it was judged that there were no Katsuyas, even though it was judged that there was a battle between righteousness and duty to say that there was no contempt for peace through the hunter's office, I thought it would be about time for the boulder.

But if we pull back anyway, we'll get out of Slum City. There is no point in returning to our base. Considering that the raiders are aiming for it, there will be more unnecessary fighting. The question turned Cycarabe's face into something suspicious.

And Kurosawa's answer to that question was very vague and convincing to Sicarabe.

"I have a bad feeling."

Sicarabe, who heard the short reply, turned his expression into a very steep one.

Kurosawa is a hunter who puts too much emphasis on safety, sometimes even cowards. However, it is a disadvantage of the extraordinarily high ability to detect crises, because many concerns can be felt from the slight warning that ordinary people would miss. Of course, it often ends with worries. But it is also true that many hunters have not died, thanks to Kurosawa, who commands them in accordance with their concerns.

And if the concern was correct this time, there was a fear that it would already be too late to retreat out of Slum Town at a time when Kurosawa was choosing a base for the retreat.

"... okay. Retreat to base."

Sicarabe accepted the instructions based on Kurosawa's vague basis, hunch, and intuition, without any objection, as a trustee of his own life, and as a trustee of his own command.

After Akira destroyed a giant multi-legged tank using five anti-annihilation warheads, she was hoping that the enemy would retreat while bearing the cost of ammunition to destroy it.

Perhaps that was the opponent's primary weapon. I lost it. That would be a good reason to retreat. I thought so, but the expectations are easily betrayed. Troops of humanoid weapons have emerged from a group of enemies forming a formation in the wilderness. In addition, missile information gathering interference smoke (jamming smoke) spraying is resumed. The jamming smoke, scattered in the battle against multi-legged tanks, began to wrap up the slum area again.

While Akira was running in the air on a motorcycle, she called out to the passengers Shiori and Kanae.

"Hey, I don't know, but they're from the same company, right? Do you have any idea how far we're gonna get out of here?

"I'm sorry to sit down. I have no idea."

"Well, I guess we'll have to destroy them all.

Siori seriously replied with a light smile. In a way, Akira exhaled in response and attitude as expected.

I see. There are a lot of people at Leon's Tail who are passionate about their work. It's a big company. "

When she was alive, on the premise of not being afraid of death, Akira smiled bitterly at the obsession of those who stood up and came to kill themselves without falling apart after death.

Seeing Akira's heart, Shiori and Kanae also smiled bitterly. Then we see the airframes deployed on the ground within the new humanoid unit.

"Dear Akira, We will deal with the person below. If I can spare you, I'll need your help again."

I'm begging you up there ~

Theori and the others returned the borrowed guns to Akira and jumped off the motorcycle. Siori gently thanked Akira as she fell, and the canoe laughed and waved. When they landed without any problems, they moved towards the enemy's airframe while hiding in the rubble.

Troops of man-made weapons begin shooting at Akira from the ground and air. Akira dodges the attack at high speed with her skilful driving.

Alpha, you don't need an anti-annihilation warhead for that, do you?

Alpha turned a pleasant smile to Akira, who was looking forward to it.

Let's make sure it's not necessary.

I see.

The two (er) RL2 combination guns and the motorcycle TGP laser cannon that you returned set the sight. Shot C-bullets (Charge Barrett), small missiles, and lasers all landed on the target, piercing the aircraft's force field armor, Force Field Armor.

All right!

Akira raised her voice unexpectedly to the effect that she could destroy her enemies at a cheaper cost of ammunition and continued the fight.

Returning to the ground, Theori destroys the man-made weapon. Debris flooded the ground with dense information-gathering jamming smoke, traveling at high speeds, closing distance, and covering the difference in combat power between humans and giants with equipment and strength.

Shiori jumped slightly and shook the blade towards the aircraft, which was about 5 meters tall. Yokohama's flash broke through the opponent's force field armor, Force Field Armor. The severed torso is deflected along the cutting plane, and falls apart by splitting up and down.

The canoes wave their fists in the same way. A blow to the (anti-) force field armor Force Field Armor feature, using the skill of the person in the Reinforcement Clothes, pierces the opponent's torso with momentum. Instead of the armor and fist contact points, they fell into a large depression, and the impact transmitted inside caused the aircraft to be damaged.

Both Shiori and Kanae have easily defeated human weapons. But that's why the face was steep.

"... sister. What do you think this is?

"... I don't know."

All of the humanoid weapons that were put in were subtle. It's not cheap, but it's only inferior to the planes used by hunters in the wilderness for a $50 billion aurum prize.

Even with that level of performance, I still know if I put it in as a unit at once, but it was put in sequentially. Still, I could understand if I bought time (to) retreat the main team, but the main team deployed in the wilderness showed no sign of retreat.

"Don't dare, let's defeat as much as we can."

Roger that.

Theori and the others continued to do what they could, making the enemy's intentions unreadable.

While Siori and the others were rushing their faces on the ground, Akira, who had already defeated many humanoid weapons, was rushing her face through space on a motorcycle.

Alpha, do you think this is some kind of trap?

Akira doesn't want strong enemies either. You are also welcome to defeat new humanoid weapons without the use of anti-annihilation warheads. However, after the herd of humanoid terminals operated by Pamela and the fierce battle with the giant multi-legged tank, enemies appeared that were not as powerful as some humanoid weapons, and I felt rather suspicious.

Alpha couldn't even smile enough, and she had a serious face.

Though there may be some intent. I didn't dare, but I've discovered that we don't have enough anti-annihilation warheads. "

The existence of a trump card, the anti-annihilation warhead, has already been revealed to the opponent. On top of that, the airborne man-made weapon units took a daring, non-scattering formation and maintained a state of being effectively defeated if anti-annihilation warheads were used. It was clear that Akira did not use anti-annihilation warheads in that condition, and that there were significant restrictions on their use, such as only a small amount of remnants.

Akira, who described them from Alpha, roared.

Hmm. At least they found out I can't be sure I have enough anti-annihilation warheads. Were they discards to find out...? Hmm. "

Though I thought there was a reason, I was not completely convinced, and Akira's face remained steep.

Akira. Fight without distraction and without relaxation. I have no choice but to do it now. "

I see. Okay. "

Sometimes I get into surgery because I think too much. Akira changed her mind and kept fighting.

In the meantime, missiles continued to spread a smoke screen (jamming smoke) that obstructed information gathering. The smoke screen, which was more concentrated than before, swallowed up the ground and covered up the situation.

Shiori and the others begin to be concerned about the intensity of the jamming smoke around them. At that time, the canoe was alerted to signs of the enemy beyond the smoke screen. Shiori is also slightly late to take his stance.

And as Siori and the others were on the lookout, another pair ran through a slightly distant location, a critical distance where they could recognize each other.

As soon as they recognized the two men, who could only be seen for a moment, Theori and the others immediately followed them with a very sharp expression.

The two were Pamela and Latis. While understanding that they had been caught, they had no choice but not to follow Theoli, as the direction Pamela and the others were headed towards Reina's base.

In front of Akira, who had been fighting in the air, the enemy's man-type weapons suddenly stopped moving and fell as if they had been shot down. And all the planes crashed into the ground.

"What is it? What the hell happened?

Akira was too confused by the unexpected. Alpha also had a difficult look on her face.

There's a limit to what's going on under the influence of the jamming smoke screen, but it's all crashing, not landing. To maintain the strength of the aircraft, the force field armor (Force Field Armor) function was also stopped at the time of the collision, so all the aircraft were badly damaged, so it can be judged that it was completely damaged. "

I see......

We can't swallow the situation, but the enemy is gone. No sign of reinforcements. So this is a good thing. While remaining vigilant, Akira tried to change her mind.

"Alpha, what's going on with Theoli and the others? Do you understand?

The accuracy is pretty rough, but there is no major reaction that could be considered an engagement, so the situation on the ground may be the same as here.

Then why don't you speak up and go back to the base once? I want to refill my ammo..... "

With that answer, Akira changed the direction of the motorcycle to her base. As a result, Akira's expression suddenly became steep. By turning his consciousness towards you, he subconsciously biased the priority of the search enemy in the same direction.

Alpha, who was losing accuracy in supporting Achilla because of a communication failure, also understood the situation by changing the priority of the search from the Achilla's awareness. Pamela and the others have breached their perimeter and are already heading toward the base, and Theori and the others are after them.

"When did you...!?

Alpha! Let's go!

Akira quickly runs the bike at full speed. A heavier information-gathering smoke screen (jamming smoke) accumulates on the ground and becomes darker, dividing the slum city upwards and downwards. Running through the border as if it were a cloud. The invisible scaffolding generated by the tire's force field armor Force Field Armor feature becomes stronger under the influence of the filter effect of the smoke screen and coagulates with the smoke components. The spinning wheels accelerated the motorcycle while crushing the solids, blowing away smoke fragments backwards.

Those humanoid weapons, were they a decoy to move on?

Maybe, but let's think about it later.

I see. Alpha, do you have a shot?

If possible, Akira will aim for it herself. I'm having a terrible communication problem. Allocating support resources to aiming corrections will reduce the accuracy of emergency evasion. "

Got it. I kept asking him to avoid it. "

Leave it to me.

Akira aims the motorcycle's TGP laser gun at Pamela and the others. Shooters and targets were shooting at high speeds, but with Akira's current strength, there was nothing wrong. A powerful stream of energy is fired from the cannon's mouth, causing an accurate attack on Pamela and the others while lowering their power under the influence of the smoke screen.

But Pamela was laughing at the attack. The humanoid terminal built on Lattice's body jumps lightly and looks back in the air, placing both hands on the laser cannon's rays. Then, using the force field armor "Force Field Armor" function of both hands to create a force field similar to the reflector, the flying light was bounced back towards Akira rather than the bullet.

Akira hastily avoided the returned laser. Even the laser is attenuated by the effects of the smoke screen, effective range, velocity and power. In addition to doubling the impact of round-trip operations, Alpha's support resources are also turning to emergency avoidance accuracy. There is no problem with avoidance itself. But it was enough to make Akira panic.

"Uh-oh!? Dangerous!

You were right to prioritize avoiding my support, right?

Akira returned a bitter smile to Alpha, who laughed so well.

I see. Even so, what is it that bounces back the laser cannon? "

It's theoretically possible. It's technically difficult. "

I see. Then why don't we go this way?

Akira shoots Pamela and the others with a total of three RL2 combination guns, including both hands and motorcycle parts. Countless C-bullets (Charge Barrett) and barrages of small missiles penetrate the surrounding smoke screens and approach the targets.

But Pamela prevented it with one hand. Just like Lattice, he bounces forward and pulls one hand forward to create a force field barrier, Force Field Shield, on the radiation. The shield of the force field, which dramatically increased its strength by capturing the smoke screen that existed in the space where it was generated, firmly prevented the shooting.

In addition, Pamela kicked the shield of the power field. The Force Field Shield, a force field barrier that looks like a cloudy glass object, approaches Akira at high speed while flying bullets.

Akira immediately cut the bike back into the air with a surprising expression. A huge semi-transparent object passes through the side of the motorcycle (by the side), breaking into dust as it reaches the limit of residual energy.

"... I wonder if we can't do this either. Shit!"

Akira's face, which inadvertently vomited ill, was steep. Prevents attacks, forces evasion, and Pamela and the others do not distance themselves from each other. Ranged attacks have decreased their power and range, Force Field Armor and other effects have increased, making it difficult to search for enemies.

The dark information-gathering smokescreen (jamming smoke) around him was on his side as he tried to get away from the enemy. Shiori and the others were also distanced while avoiding or destroying the force field barrier "Force Field Shield" thrown from Pamela, and could not catch up with all their efforts.

The anti-annihilation warhead......, I don't like driftstones (first).

Yes, Akira. Don't use it.

That's right.

The distance to the target is too close to get caught up, and once you shoot at it, you'll be sure to surround the Shiori. Prior to that, anti-annihilation warheads were not used against human opponents with boulders. Akira thought so and refrained from using anti-annihilation warheads.

On top of that, I thought Alpha made the same decision, but I can tell you another reason.

Akira shot at the wilderness from a relatively wild position the other day, so the city's defenses must have missed out on the use of anti-annihilation warheads. If you shoot this close to the city, you won't miss the boulder. Wait until the equipment arrives from Sakashita Heavy Industries before turning Kugamayama City into a full-fledged enemy. Not yet. "

That's right.

Although it was a convincing reason, Akira slightly hardened her face due to the difference with herself in the reason why she could not use an anti-annihilation warhead.

And it rushes your face as it does. Pamela and the others must have sealed their own trump card, the anti-annihilation warhead. For Akira, it was convincing enough that Pamela and the others had deceived the humanoid weapons.

Why did you do it? I can't help it, Alpha. Don't you dare, let's call Theoli and go to the base. "

"Remember, the closer you get to the ground, the worse the communication will get, the more likely you'll lose communication with me."

Oh, be careful.

Akira lowered the direction of the motorcycle flying in space. Alpha disappears from Akira's sight as the bike is wrapped in a thick smoke screen. Still, he pushed through the smoke screen, and when he managed to find Siori and the others, he went to the side (near) and shouted.

Ignore them and return to our base. You want a ride?

That means if Pamela's destinations were not a base, they would be lost. Once it is lost, it is difficult to find it again because of the interference with information gathering (jamming smoke). I had enough fear of falling into a fatal situation because I let Pamela and the others go.

Theoli and the others learned of it and took Akira's invitation. After Pamela took action that did not directly target them, she gave priority to returning to Raina's group over the fear of something happening because she set them free. Face to face and then jump on the bike.

Please.

Please!

Akira, riding Theoli and the others, immediately raised the bike again. Climbing up to a relatively thin area of the smoke screen and near the red ceiling, indicating off-limits areas, accelerates all at once toward the base. It is difficult to accelerate near the ground due to the high speed filter effect just because the smoke screen is thick. However, it can accelerate sufficiently near here.

Still, the high-speed filter effect is slight but present. While forcing through the wall with the output of the motorcycle, Akira and the others set out for the base building.

Remotely operated terminals with Pamela's face floating in a green blood pond, remnants of a humanoid terminal defeated by Akira and others. Some were completely blown away by the main cannon of a large multi-legged tank, but the remainder were severely damaged and fragmented in the middle of the day, but still present.

Biologically, he's already dead. It is already mechanically destroyed. The pond of green liquid that floats on these fragments, or liquid that belongs to the healing medicine, gradually decreases.

And then the mouth grew on the lump of meat that was floating there.

Eat food around your mouth, other biological or mechanical parts, or equipment for a human device. Chew, swallow, and increase the volume of meat mass.

Multi-articular arms and legs grew from a piece of flesh that grew as it was.

A piece of meat walks out on its leg. Grasp the surrounding food with your arms, carry it to your mouth, and try to satisfy your appetite. The pieces of flesh are getting bigger and bigger and bigger, growing more arms and legs.

Similar sights were taking place in various parts of the city. Akira and the others were fighting as they moved with the humanoid terminals that Pamela operated, so that the fragments of the humanoid terminals were scattered in various parts of the slum. Some of the growing pieces of meat were beginning to eat even the most devastated human weapons.

Some humanoid weapons were also eaten from the inside. The body of the humanoid terminal that was piloting the aircraft was torn, and it turned into a mouth that blew green blood, and I ate the surrounding things as soon as I took care of them. In order for the host to be devoured from the inside by the parasite, the pilot's seat, generator, and force-field armor generator will be devoured by what was once a human terminal.

And the sights were hidden behind a dark information-gathering smoke screen (jamming smoke).

The smoke screen was sprayed to reduce the effective range of a powerful heavy weapon. It was extremely difficult for those who thought so to notice the anomaly inside the smoke.

Reina was shooting at the raiders from the roof of her base. Theoli stopped me from accompanying Theoli, but that's why Raina couldn't tolerate it and compromised with each other.

A bullet fired from a large sniper gun breaks through a thick information-gathering smoke screen (jamming smoke) and hits the target. Heavy duty reinforcement clothing with a big hole in the chest collapsed.

Togami wraps his tongue around the stunning sniper.

"That's a good guess in this situation."

Reina laughs lightly in a bitter smile and turns in a different direction.

"They're sending us the exact location of the target. I can't do it on my own."

With Reina's strength, the smoke screen doesn't tell us where the enemy is. However, thanks to Shiloh's cooperation with the integrated support system, Reina's extended vision clearly shows the enemy's location.

"It's amazing how many people are sending the exact location of their enemies here in this situation..."

Raina and the others only recognize Shiloh as Carol's ally, and don't know his face or name. But I fully understood its strength.

Still, the sniper won't hit as long as it knows where the target is. In addition, in the current situation, the effective range is reduced under the influence of the smoke screen, and ballistics are also blown. It was Reina's strength to focus firmly on the environment. Togami was going to praise it, but he smiled slightly and combined his words.

"... I see. The world is full of amazing people."

Raina laughed lightly after she looked a little strange.

"Well, I'll be able to do that on my own anyway. Where's Togami?"

Rather provocative Reina's smile, Togami smiled back.

"... so will I. It's not a long story anyway, but inside it is."

"Oh yeah, well, let's compete."

To compete, we will continue to be by the side. Raina returned the wish with a smile.

The next moment, Raina and the others noticed signs of sudden approaching, reflexively pointing their faces in that direction. Togami rearranges his position to protect Reina and points his gun towards the reactor.

Pamela and the others were responsible for the reaction. Running through the sky ahead of Raina and trying to get on the roof of the base.

Togami immediately shot Pamela and the others. However, the force field barrier "Force Field Shield" is placed and prevented by throwing it into the radiation. I don't have time to give instructions verbally. Point to the rooftop entrance and tell Reina to evacuate.

After that, Reina quickly headed for the rooftop entrance and exit. The building also handles relics flowing from Tsubaki's administrative area and is reinforced to make it even more sturdy than a slum city building. The wall is equipped with a force field armor "Force Field Armor" function, and it will not be broken so easily if you escape inside and close the door. That's why Theoli compromised Reina's rooftop behavior.

But Pamela will stop it. A strong force field barrier, Force Field Shield, was thrown in front of the entrance and sealed off. Force Field Barrier The Force Field Shield itself will spontaneously disappear in seconds, but it will be long enough for Pamela and the others to retreat and enter the building.

In this situation, where a momentary delay becomes fatal, Reina, who was cut off from the exit, unintentionally stops thinking about her movements. But there was a new reaction, and I raised my face reflectively. And I saw those who were ahead of me, and I regained my thoughts.

Behind them was Akira, who was slightly late and ran off on a motorcycle. Theoli and the others jumped off the motorcycle, kicking in the air and rushing faster than free fall.

But Pamela and the others interrupt the rendezvous. Turning the other way to Theoli instead of Raina, he narrowed his distance so that he collided in the air. Pamela and Kanae clashed their fists, while Latis and Cili shook their blades in the air and bumped into each other.

Seeing the sight, Reina immediately took the action she needed to take. Run toward the edge of the roof and jump out of the building. I decided that the greatest support I could give Siori in this situation was to distance them so that they could fight without worrying about themselves.

Togami immediately understood Reina's intentions. Jump off the roof after Raina. Further, Pamela and the others appeared in the direction of the humanoid device and followed Reina and the others.

In an instant, Akira lost control of a situation that had changed. But Siori asked me to cover Raina with my gaze, so I followed her on the motorcycle.

Theoli and Pamela landed on the roof. Unlike Pamela, who smiles without seeping murder into her face, Shiori's expression is steep and harsh, even though she protected Reina from Pamela and the others.

"You didn't make it... but you invited me."

Pamela affirms with a smile.

"I know. Same two-to-two as before. But... this time... I won't pull my leg."

Last time, I let Latis die because of my own malaise. The result is overturned here. With that will, Pamela's smile seeps madness even stronger.

Against that madness, the canoe dared to mock.

"Two against two? Two against one?

At that moment, the smile disappeared from Pamela's face.

"... two against two."

Pamela's expression was stained with hate and killing, and Doss's black gaze penetrated the canoe.

But the canoe doesn't move.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Rather than that, I screwed up last time too. Now I'm going to take this seriously."

And the canoe also lost its smile. Enjoy fighting the opponent from that face, completely lose what recognizes the opponent's worth, and instead turn to Pamela from a cruel (terrible) cold face that does not recognize any value to the subject, just looking at the work impairment.

"Die."

"Kill"

Canoes and Pamela who lost their smiles together vomited subtly different words with their attitudes toward the subject's death, and moved to realize the vomited words. Theoli and Latis stepped in accordingly.

Four, or three, kill each other with their own loyalty, hatred, and murder. Each fist and blade, with the skill of fully manipulating their powerful equipment, cut the atmosphere without passing through the high-speed filter effect contained in the information-gathering jamming smoke screen.
