Reawaken the World

Turning Point (Part 2)

[He sincerely pleaded for his life, but that meek look was a lie. His request that you listen to him also lies. He may be planning to talk about his way out, or he is planning to buy some time.]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"After listening to Alpha's explanation, Akira turned to Yajima and asked her."

 

(“You're planning on stalling, huh? So how long do you have to wait until your friend comes here?”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

(“Start time ?! That's misunderstanding! I have no plans to do that !! I swear!! I am not lying!!”) 

 

(“Akira, that's a lie.”) 

 

"Yajima gave an excuse in panic. Alpha quickly shows Akira that it's a lie, and she believes him."

 

(“I will shoot all his limbs and bring him to the base, I'm sure he won't die even though I still do, and that will also make him completely harmless. Not to mention Headquarters told me to bring it back to them if possible.”) 

 

[You are right . I don't think he's going to fight if you're going to take him to headquarters. It's a little dangerous to take him everywhere if we don't do that as insurance.]

 

"About pulling his CWH anti-material rifle and aiming his shot at Yajima's left arm. But the pain in his right arm caused him to stop his action and made him twitch."

 

(“I-it hurts. I can still feel the pain, what happened? Doesn't the medicine work now? ”) 

 

[Even with your augmented suit, it still seems impossible for you to fire a CWH anti-material rifle with one hand. Your muscles and bones have reached their limit, You may need to take more medicine.]

 

(“Then why did you do that?”) 

 

[That's because that's the quickest and quickest way to execute that shot. It is also because you are facing in the opposite direction from where he is to lure him out. Besides that.].

 

"Because it seemed like a long lecture, Akira quickly interrupted."

 

(“All right . Basically, you have a reason to do that, don't you?”) 

 

 

[Yes. If it hurts too much, you should take more medicine now while you have the chance.]

 

"About taking out some medicine and swallowing it. Since he did not know how long it would take cheap medicines to start exerting an effect, therefore he chose to use expensive precious medicines."

 

 

"With this, Akira has exhausted all the medicine he found in the ruins of Kuzusuhara. He sighed."

 

(“... Everything is gone now, damn it !! Rather than just paying my ammo fee, I should have them pay for my medicine as well!”) 

 

[You know how else, Akira. As I said before, don't do anything dangerous from now on. Remember to be very careful.]

 

(“Accepted.”) 

 

"About aiming the CWH anti-material rifle at Yajima's left arm."

 

"Yajima understood Akira's plan from his behavior."

 

('He has no plans to listen to me. I think it's obvious that I'm trying to buy more time, huh? Thank goodness he didn't plan on killing me here, but it would be over if he took me to headquarters. He planned to destroy all my limbs before carrying me, huh? He's a cautious boy. What am I supposed to do now? If he was careful, even if Nelia and the others came to save me, he would kill me first before moving to fight them. I still can't contact them because of the vandals smoke, I'll call them back once I'm out of reach of the vandals smoke ..') 

 

"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."

"Although Yajima's expression looked like she was frightened and in pain, she still thought calmly inside. He was trying to find a way to avoid paying the fee to defend his four limbs and escape from that dangerous situation."

 

"Yajima had no way of escaping his predicament. He can't change Akira's position as the one who gets the upper hand no matter what he does. In short, he could not turn the table with his own strength there. It was also unthinkable that Akira would do such a foolish thing that would jeopardize his position. The situation there won't change with just the two of them."

 

"But the other is with the third person."

 

(“What are you doing there?!!”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Reina's voice echoed along the passageway. Akira and Yajima could see Reina and Shiori running towards them."

 

"Drankam sent some young Hunters from the gang to help replace the illumination. Team Katsuya was among those young Hunters."

 

"The headquarters told Katsuya's group to send their 2 members to another team. Katsuya tried hard to negotiate with the headquarters to rethink, but in the end, it didn't work at all. Then he reluctantly sent Shiori and Reina. That was because, among all of its members, Shiori was the only person who could handle the situation in case something bad happened when they were on the other team."

 

"Reina and Shiori had no idea that Akira was on the same team they were sent to. When they arrived at the designated station, they only found a cart filled with lighting and no one was around. When they decide to look for another Hunter, they see Akira pointing his rifle at another Hunter."

 

"Akira and Yajima turned towards Shiori and Reina. His expression turned stiff as he looked at Shiori and Reina. He thought it would be very troublesome to explain the situation to them."

 

(“So they both are Hunters sent headquarters, huh?”) 

 

(“It would be great if they came faster while I was in the middle of that fight.”) 

 

"Usually, Alpha will soon find out both of them and tell Akira about them. She thought it was strange she didn't do that, so she asked him."

 

(“... Now that I think about it, Alpha, did you not realize it before?”) 

 

[As I said earlier, the vandals reduced my detection ability.]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“Ah, you are right.”) 

 

"About sure of the answer."

 

"Alpha does not lie, it is true that the fume intruder reduces its detection ability. But he didn't say anything about the fact that he hoped Akira would at least destroy Yajima's 4 limbs before Shiori and Reina arrived there."

 

"Of course, Alpha could have controlled Akira's augmented suit to immediately kill Yajima. But doing so meant that he would disregard his wishes, and to do so, there were many requirements that had to be met first in order to release him from his bondage and carry out the act."

 

 

"But more than that, Alpha has to prioritize Akira's wishes, therefore he can't just ignore Akira's wishes and force him to do something."

 

"About still looking towards Reina and Shiori as Yajima turned to Akira."

 

"He looked at Akira's expression and found a glimmer of hope to get out of his crisis."

 

('He knows them but they are not his friends. Or at least, they weren't close enough to believe his explanation without questioning it. And this boy just thought that explaining what happened was troublesome, right? He thought the girls would not believe him even though he tried to explain the situation.') 

 

"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."

"Although he chuckled inside, his face still looked desperate as he shouted at Shiori and Reina."

 

(“Please me!! He's gonna kill me !!”) 

 

"About accidentally turning her eyes back to Yajima. Yajima trembled and shouted again."

 

(“This boy shot me straight away !! He tried to kill me !! Although I just tried to change the illumination !!”) 

 

"About to argue in panic."

 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

(“He lied!! I only fought back because he tried to kill me !!!”) 

 

(“Are you joking ?! You're obviously trying to kill me, aren't you? !! And you're the one who shot me first as well !!”) 

 

(“That's because you pointed your weapon at me !!”) 

 

"Akira and Yajima yell at each other."

 

"Reina and Shiori were confused. They were only sent there to help with the work of replacing the illumination. They don't know who's telling the truth. Judging from the situation, they only knew that the two fought and Akira won. But they couldn't tell which one was lying and which one was telling the truth."

 

"Reina was confused and asked Shiori for help."

 

(“S-Shiori .. A-what do you think?”) 

 

(“Even if Milady asks me, I myself do not know for sure ..”) 

 

"Shiori doesn't know what to do. It was at least clear to him that something had happened that triggered the fight. Since he had almost had a fight with Akira, a part of him actually suspected her."

 

"But with that being said, Shiori did not think that Akira was lying. After all, when he asked her in the past, he, he once told her that he would rather answer honestly even if it could lead to a fight with her than come up with a random answer to avoid answering the real question."

 

"No matter who among them lied, or even if it was just a huge misunderstanding between the two of them, there was no way Shiori could know, and she understood that."

 

"Shiori looked at Yajima and Akira with a serious face."

 

(“I believe that I should contact the headquarters first, is it alright?”) 

 

"Shiori thought that if any of them looked troubled when she wanted to contact the headquarters, then that person was the one who lied. Or at least, the chances of that person becoming a liar would be high. So he stared intently at Yajima and Akira."

 

"I think he answered quickly."

 

(“Ah, correct, you can proceed and contact the headquarters. I reported to the headquarters that I found a suspicious person who did not use the terminal from the headquarters, then the headquarters gave me permission to deal with that person even if it meant that I had to kill him. You will understand the situation after you contact headquarters.”) 

 

"Yajima yelled."

 

(“That's my sentence !! Just call headquarters !! I'm sure you'll realize that I'm telling the truth !!”) 

 

"Akira and Yajima glared at each other. Reina pulled out her information terminal to contact the headquarters, but the call was unsuccessful."

 

(“.... I can't get a connection to headquarters.”) 

 

"Yajima, who heard Reina's murmur, said."

 

(“That's because this kid used bugger smoke !! You!! You know that this will happen when you tell them to contact the headquarters, right ?! ”) 

 

(“You're the one who used the bugger smoke !! I didn't bring any grenades to me !! Just check on me, if you don't believe me !! ”) 

 

(“That's just because you used all your grenades !! Stop lying !!!”) 

 

"Akira and Yajima glared at each other. The two encourage Reina to contact the headquarters, but she can't get any connections."

 

"Reina and Shiori came there to help replace the illumination, which was the same reason why Yajima was there."

 

"On the other hand, Akira said that he was told by HQ to deal with Hunter who did not share his position through the same network, but Shiori heard nothing about it from HQ. So there was a discrepancy with what Akira said."

 

"Shiori once again looked at Akira and Yajima closely. Both don't seem to lie."

 

"Reina looked puzzled as she observed Akira and Yajima. He doesn't know which one is lying. After racking his brain and still unable to find an answer, he asked Shiori for help."

 

"Shiori gives advice."

 

(“Well then . Let's get everyone back to base first. Or at least stay away from the annoying smoke until we can contact headquarters.”) 

 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Shiori turned to Akira and carefully said to him."

 

(“... Now, Akira-sama. Can you lower your rifle?”) 

 

"Akira's face is grim, his rifle is still pointed at Yajima."

 

 

(“... I should have killed this guy before they came here.”) 

 

[You know how else, it's not like you can kill him now in this situation. Don't worry, it should be well recorded. It is highly unlikely that you will be framed. Since we were also originally planning to bring him to headquarters, just think of it as a good thing now that you got more help to bring this guy to headquarters.]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"About calmed down after Alpha told him that."

 

"Since Akira did not lower his weapon, Shiori increased her vigilance."

 

(“... Akira-sama?”) 

 

(“I've heard you.”) 

 

"About then lowered his rifle. But Shiori was still keeping her defense against Akira."

 

"Shiori knows about Akira's abilities and personality. So he thought that in this situation, Akira was the one he had to watch out for. So how else was he going when he lowered his vigilance towards the other man, who was still lying on the ground trembling in fear with his right arm gone and unarmed."

 

"With Shiori watching him, Akira's focus shifts to Shiori."

 

"That means the two of them weren't watching Yajima."

 

[About !! Stop him right now!!]

 

"It was too late when Alpha warned him."

 

(“Build.”) 

 

"Reina was already standing beside Yajima and extending her hand. It was perfectly normal to do that to someone who had lost his right arm, was lying on the ground without a weapon, and looked extremely frightened. But it was a fatal mistake."

 

"Yajima pulled Reina's hand and made her lose her balance. At the same time, he stood up, spun around behind her, and used his left arm to hold Reina, strangling her."

 

"Yajima smirked vilely and said."

 

(“Do not move!”) 

 

"The fear that was on Yajima's face until a few seconds ago, has disappeared."
