"Seeing Akira's expression, Yajima understood that Akira did not regard Reina and Shiori as his friends. As for Reina and Shiori's expressions, she understood that they did not consider Akira as their friend either and they did not understand the current situation."
"Yajima knew that he could use Shiori and Reina to get out of this dangerous situation. So he decided to exploit it."
"When Akira dropped his rifle, Yajima was actually celebrating inside. After all, he could at least get out of a situation where he could be killed at any moment. He now only needed to wait until the effects of the congestion smoke weakened to contact his friends for help."
"Then, she decided to start acting to buy more time. But fortunately, someone who did not have his bodyguards suddenly approached him unsuspectingly. Yajima is grateful for his demonic luck."
"Reina, who was captured by Yajima took out a few words while in pain."
(“A-what are you doing?”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
"Yajima laughed vilely as she retorted, she was clearly mocking Reina."
(“Are you seriously asking what I'm doing? Do I really have to explain this? I don't think anyone's stupid, you know? I think this situation explains itself very well. But I guess, to be safe, in rare cases if both also do not understand what is going on. Basically I'm holding you back from threatening two other people in this place.”)
"Yajima stopped smiling and turned to Akira and Shiori."
(“Do not move or I will kill this girl.”)
"While his voice was calm, it was clear he was serious."
"Akira and Shiori did not move in the slightest while staring at Yajima. Akira's face stiffened as he looked at Yajima. As for Shiori, she clearly directed her killing intent at Yajima. Although he tried hard to keep his expression calm, he was actually very angry and it was projected from his eyes. She glared at Yajima intensely as if she was trying to make a hole through him with her gaze."
"Yajima looked at Akira and Shiori who were just standing there and said."
(“...Very good . It is helpful that you guys are smart enough to understand what is going on.”)
"Yajima still kept a close eye on Shiori and Akira as she said to Reina."
(“Well, since your regretful brain cannot understand what is going on, I will tell you about this as well. I can easily crush your neck with my hands. So don't do anything stupid. It may be true that I lost my right arm and was lying on the ground until a few minutes ago. So it's understandable if you're thinking of waiting for an opportunity to escape. But it would be a big mistake. I'm not going to lower my guard and I'm not so weak that you can break away even if there's a gap. If it seems like I'm lowering my vigilance on you, it's only because I look so from your point of view, and you're completely wrong. You may not believe my words. But seeing how the person who wants to help you just stands there and obeys my words, I hope you understand the meaning.”)
"A moment of silence drifted. After making sure that Reina did not attempt to fight back, and Akira and Shiori did not do anything suspicious, Yajima continued."
(“ . Then, throw your weapon.”)
"Shiori quickly dropped the gun she was holding. He also dropped a gun in his scabbard and other weapons he had. After he took off all his weapons, he took a few steps back."
"Shiori continued to stare at Yajima even for the slightest opening. When he let go of all his weapons, he realized that he was frowning slightly."
"Yajima turned to Akira, Shiori looked confused and turned towards him as well."
"About still clutching his rifle. He still had a guard as he stared at Yajima."
(“... Akira-sama, can you drop your weapon?”)
"Shiori begs Akira to drop her weapon. But he didn't say anything while still staring at Yajima."
(“... Akira-sama?”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
(“I heard you.”)
"About just saying that, but he doesn't look like he's going to drop his rifle anytime soon."
"Yajima frowned. He tightened the choke on Reina and made her groan in pain. Shiori looked hurt when she heard Reina moan."
"Say Yajima calmly."
(“I'm sure you heard what I said, or do you not want to listen to me? Are you saying that you don't care if he dies?”)
(“How much more will you ask of us? Did your friend come here and kill us?”)
(“I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't have any friends. If you drop your weapon, I'll retreat into the hallway and let this girl go after I get away from here. I promise you. Ahhh, I didn't tell you that I would let go if you dropped your weapon, huh. My fault. So, do you understand now?”)
(“You ... You're thinking of stealing relics, aren't you?”)
"Yajima reacted a little when she said that. Akira then continued."
(“I'm right, aren't I? Back then when you tried to kill me, you did not try to make any excuses and instead immediately tried to kill me without hesitation. Which means when I see your face, you have no choice but to kill me. You are a cyborg, so you can freely change your expression as you wish. But even so, you still tried to kill me when I wanted to contact the headquarters. I'm sure there's something down here that you don't want the city to notice no matter what.”)
"Akira's guess is correct. Yajima and his friends hid relics in several places in the underground city, and one of those places was around that area. His friends should have already moved the relic from somewhere else. His job was to guard the place until his friends came there to bring the relics."
"about continuing."
(“You plan to kill everyone who sees your face, don't you? Since we know your face, the City staff will easily identify you. You basically fight with the city, they will get a reward for your head. So to avoid that, you have no other choice but to kill us. Am I wrong?”)
"Yajima who just listened without saying anything replied as if he was reprimanding someone who would not listen to him."
(“It looks like you misunderstood a lot of things here. I'm not minding telling you where your mistake was with your guess that's full of holes, but I feel that you won't listen to me no matter what I say.”)
(“So, how long do you need to buy time? How strong is your friend? Seeing how you take this slowly, it seems they are strong enough to be able to kill us easily.”)
(“Even if I obey your nonsense, one thing for sure is, this girl will die if you don't drop your weapon.”)
(“If you kill the girl, it's no mistake that you won't leave this place alive. But you'll still kill him even after knowing it, yeah. I guess you are sure that you have enough strength to deal with us.”)
"Akira and Yajima looked at each other with serious faces. There was a moment of silence before Yajima said coldly."
(“No, thank you.”)
"About swiftly rejecting Yajima's request. They stared at each other intently, Shiori's face had already turned pale as she looked at them."
"Yajima sighed."
('.. Is this kid real? He knew my plan and also knew that I was not planning on letting anyone stay alive. What am I supposed to do now? I don't know exactly when Cain and Nelia will arrive. This kid probably decided to shoot me on the spot when he saw Kain and Nelia. My cyborg body is badly damaged, I don't think I can avoid if she shoots me.')
"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."
"Yajima looked irritated."
(“Although I held a pretty girl like her hostage here. Don't you have a sense of truth in your heart?”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
(“I don't want to hear that from the person who took the beautiful girl hostage.”)
(“It's okay for me, after all I'm a criminal. I can do bad things without feeling guilty at all. That's a special right only for criminals, so heroes can't afford to do that. Well, put that aside, since it seems that this hostage is not important to you, I will ask others who care about that hostage.”)
"Yajima then turned to Shiori."
(“If you don't want this girl to die, just kill the boy.”)
"As Yajima said that, Akira increased his vigilance towards Yajima and Shiori. Yajima noticed the small change and unintentionally took a step back while still holding onto Reina."
"About still pointing the CWH anti-material rifle down. If he pointed his rifle at Yajima, Yajima would react with something more extreme."
"Shiori was anxious and exchanged glances between Akira and Reina. He was shocked and confused because he was placed in that absurd situation."
"About choosing not to drop his weapon. The rest was up to Shiori to decide, and all the available options she had were hopeless."
"About waiting to see what Shiori would do when she asked Alpha."
(“... Alpha, what do you think?”)
"Alpha answered back almost instantly."
[I think he will decide to attack you.]
"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."
(“And why?”)
[It will keep the hostages alive longer by attacking you. If he did not follow what he said, he would realize that there was no meaning in holding hostages and killing hostages. Although he knew that he planned to kill everyone, as long as the hostages were still alive, there was hope he could save the hostages. Looking from that point of view, there was no way he would allow this opportunity to keep the life of this hostage safe for a while.]
(“I totally agree with you for exactly the same reason. Shit, I shouldn't worry about explaining the situation back then and quickly killing this man.”)
[Nothing will change even if you regret it now. Let's do what you can now. In the worst case scenario, you have to kill everyone, okay?]
(“Accepted.”)
"I guess he made his determination."
"While on the other hand, Shiori still could not decide on her own to decide anything. If he hits Yajima, he will kill Reina immediately. But even if he killed Akira, there was no guarantee that Yajima would not kill Reina. He believes that Akira's guess is correct, Yajima plans to kill everyone in the end."
"Looking at Shiori who was still standing frozen in place, Yajima acted angrily and said."
(“... What the hell is this, so holding this girl hostage is basically meaningless, huh? I guess I had no choice but to kill him. I am sure I will die too after that, but my friends will definitely avenge my death when they get here.”)
"Yajima's words were just a bluff. He had no plans to die in that place. Shiori understood that well, but if she just stood there and did nothing, it was only a matter of time before the bluff became a reality."
"Looking at how Shiori was in so much pain, Reina tried to say something. But she couldn't raise her voice because Yajima was strangling her neck strongly."
"Yajima turned to Reina and said with full killing intent."
(“You're quiet.”)
"Yajima had no idea what Reina was trying to say. But whether he was trying to ask for a rescue or he was trying to tell Shiori to forget about it, it was just an unnecessary voice in her opinion."
"Yajima's twisted mind thinks if Reina pleads for help in a sad voice, Shiori might start attacking Akira. And if Reina told them to forget about it, Shiori and Akira would probably do it."
"Reina's groans and agonizing expression triggered Shiori to move."
"Shiori lunged forward and picked up the gun she dropped on the ground, she quickly pointed it at Akira and pulled the trigger. But as Shiori moved, Akira quickly hid behind the nearby ruins. Thus the bullets fired by Shiori did not hit Akira as they bounced off as they struck the wall, floor or ruins."
"The battle has already begun."
"About setting up the CWH anti-material rifle and firing towards Shiori. But he quickly took cover behind thick ruins that could withstand the power of CWH special ammunition. He uses his experience, skills and observation skills to predict when Akira will open fire and take cover from flying bullets."
"If Shiori mischosen the junkyard, the CWH special ammunition would easily pierce through the junkyard and cause fatal injuries. If he mistakenly reads the moment Akira shoots, the CWH's special ammunition will turn him into minced meat in an instant. There was no way a human armor could withstand the force of an ammunition that could even destroy a tank."
"In terms of firepower, Akira was way above Shiori. But he couldn't hit her. In extreme situations where one punch was enough to turn him into minced meat, he used superior reflexes and highly trained skills to avoid his shots."
"Shiori kept shooting at Akira to keep him under control while trying to get close to him, which kept her distance from him."
