Reasons to Kill (Part 2)

"About continuing to stare at the man while confirming with Alpha."

(“Do I get everyone?”) 

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

[Yes . Finished . By the way, why did you shoot him? ]

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

"About making a confused face, therefore, Alpha gives more context to his question."

 

 

[If you want to kill him, you can kill him faster, right? But since you didn't shoot him right away, I think you want to spare him, you know. So I asked why did you suddenly decide to shoot him? ]

 

(“Ohh, so that's what you mean, huh? I planned to kill him from the beginning, but since it seemed like I could kill him more safely if I waited, I decided to wait. Aren't you the one who told me that they aren't weak and I shouldn't misunderstand this passage? ”) 

 

[I did say that. You have convinced me now. By the way, it's good to be careful. There are dangers that come when you give more time to your opponents, so you have to be careful about that as well.]

 

(“I understand. ”) 

 

"About obediently nod."

 

" *** "

 

"The Feast of Akira, Elena, Sara and Bubaha. All these unlucky people are gathered in this area. All these people are trying to rise from the ashes. All these people pushed themselves past their limits and risked their lives in these ruins, to reverse their poor living conditions."

 

"Some of them lost their bets, suffering counterattacks from pushing themselves past their limits and their wrong decisions. And these people are already paying in full for their actions. The mutilated bodies of Hunters were strewn across the ruins. This was one of the common sights in the eastern district and had been repeated back to no end. It was just one of the common occurrences in that place."

 

"Some time has passed since Elena and Sara slept in one of the abandoned buildings. Sporadic gunshots from outside had stopped for a while and there was no sign of coming back any time soon."

 

"Sara lowered her guard a little."

 

(“Is .... over?”) 

 

"Elena used her information-gathering device to confirm."

 

(“Most signals from outside are gone. There is only one signal other than us. Perhaps it was a signal from the person who fought against them just a moment ago. ”) 

 

"Elena's information gathering device had fully recovered from the effect of the colorless fog. So there was no way for Elena to mistakenly identify the signals between those who attacked them and the signals from others. But there's no guarantee that the signal came from someone friendly."

 

(“Elena, is the signal from that person moving towards us?”) 

 

(“It seems not so ... But still, what do you think happened there?”) 

 

(“If we think optimistically, it must be someone who happened to pass by there and decided to help us. After all, it's 8 against 3 .. If we don't count ourselves, then it's 8 against 1. But that man saved us. That person must have been a very good person .. Or so my expectations. ”) 

 

"After Sara uttered an optimistic assumption about what had just happened. He simply stopped talking without telling Elena his pessimistic supposition."

 

('There are limits to how well a person can. I felt grateful to the person, but we had no idea what the person was asking of us as a gift. If had it been a man and he had asked for our bodies as a gift, Elena might have opposed it but I hope she would have been satisfied with my own body.') 

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

"Elena kept watching the person's signal from her information gathering device. Then he realized that the signal was away from them."

 

('So that person won't come here, huh …? If he wanted to demand a reward, he would come here as soon as possible. It even seems like he doesn't want to confirm our safety. It might be because he wanted to avoid another fight, or he just lost interest in us. Or maybe he prioritized taking their equipment first ..') 

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

"The signal kept moving away from them as he thought. Elena hesitated for some time, but she then decided to pursue that signal."

 

(“I'll be back in a minute. Sara, you wait here. ”) 

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

(“Are you sure?”) 

 

(“The colorless fog is getting brighter and visible from the signal, it seems like that person is not hostile towards us. So it'll be fine. I'll be careful too. Anyway, I should at least say thank you to that guy. ”) 

 

"Elena smiled to reassure Sara, she then packed her things and left alone. Since his information gathering device did not detect a hostile signal, he immediately ran towards Akira."

 

 

"When Elena approached Akira, her rescue signal on the information gathering device suddenly started to move faster than her. It seems like Akira was trying to escape from her."

 

"But Elena already remembered Akira's position. It's behind the cover. His voice might reach him, but he could not see Akira. Therefore, he hurriedly called Akira to stop him."

 

(“Wait a minute !! You're the one who saved us, right ?! I'd like to thank you and I'd like to talk to you for a minute! Can you come here for a minute? Please!”) 

 

"But then, suddenly a crumpled paper flew in from Akira's direction and rolled onto Elena's feet."

 

(Elena took the paper and opened it. There was a bullet in the paper and a short message saying ‹Don't come here› was written illegally.) 

"Ts: This code→ (‹...... ›) sign to indicate message bubble or author explanation."

"He couldn't understand whether Akira put a bullet into the crumpled paper to make it easier to throw or it was some kind of warning to him. But at least, he understood that the person who saved him did not want him to become close to him, even though he did not really understand the reason. So she stopped chasing Akira and instead yelled at him."

 

(“My friend got shot and she couldn't move !! I have a vehicle parked on the outskirts of the wreckage, so can you protect us while I bring my friend to that vehicle ?! I'll give you another gift besides the one for saving us from those people. I know that I'm only charging you more, but can you help us ?! ”) 

 

"But of course, Elena actually had nothing to offer as a reward. Especially, he had no money to give at all. Or rather, he came to the ruins because he wanted to earn money in the first place. He also needs money to recharge Sara's nano. Elena knew that she needed to negotiate with him and find what she wanted as payment. He's already decided on his own if he asks for his body as payment."

 

"But then something else flew from Akira's direction to Elena, this time the box. When Elena picked it up and examined the box, she recognized from the words printed on the box that it was a medicine box. There's a piece of paper in it with instructions on how to use a drug written in bent letters."

 

(Elena assumed that her message should say something like ‹Use this medicine to cure your friend› or something like that. He also began to understand that the person who saved them did not want to accept his request.) 

"Ts: This code→ (‹...... ›) sign to indicate message bubble or author explanation."

"Elena decided to return to Sara, but before returning, she added some notes on the paper that Akira threw at her and left them on the ground."

 

(“Good!! Thanks for the medicine !! I'll be back again! I've written my Hunter code in this paper, so contact me when you have time, okay? ”) 

 

"Elena then bowed towards Akira before running back to Sara."

 

" *** "

 

 

(“.... What is this Hunter code?”) 

 

[It doesn't matter until you have your own information terminal. For now, you can think of it as something convenient that allows you to contact other Hunters.]

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

(“So he even had something like this, yeah. By the way, do I have a Hunter code? ”) 

 

[No. But you should be able to get it after purchasing your own information terminal and submitting an application in the Hunter Office. By the way, Akira, do you agree with that? ]

 

(Yes, it's okay. It's not like we have a reason to meet him. Let's just go home. ”) 

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

[You won't loot them before you go back home?]

 

(“I'll let them just like that. Not that they came to attack me. ”) 

 

[I saw. ]

 

"About taking out all the equipment from the 2 Hunters that attacked him yesterday. Alpha could not understand what the difference was between the two Hunters and the Hunters he killed earlier. So Alpha concludes that it must be due to Akira's moral values. Akira puts himself in danger without expecting anything in return and he even gives his precious medicine box. But then he refused to protect them as if he did not care at all. He didn't even think of meeting the people he just saved."

 

"To give Akira the right guidance, Alpha seeks to understand Akira's moral values on which to base his decision-making. But he understood from the moment Akira decided to help Elena and Sara, there was no point in pressuring Akira for an answer. Therefore, he decided not to question Akira at all."

 

"About continuing to run as he exits the ruins of Kuzusuhara City."

 

" *** "

 

"When Elena returned to Sara and told her everything, Sara smiled mischievously."

 

(“He saved us even though we were only strangers to him. He even gave us medicines and left us without asking for anything in return or telling us his name. To think that she will leave all the good parts, it is not even strange if you fall in love with her, but .. ”) 

 

"When Sara brought it all out like that, it did sound like she was an extraordinary person. Sara then continued while smiling bitterly."

 

(“... You don't see it and you don't know the sound either. He won't let you approach him and his handwriting is bad. I wonder if he did this on purpose so that we won't be able to investigate his identity from his handwriting. ”) 

 

"Elena smiled bitterly after hearing the sudden change from the person who had just helped her."

 

(“Should we stop using the medicine we just received? It won't be too long before your wound heals, will it? ”) 

 

"It's not that Elena wants to make her savior bad. But the one who would use it was Sara, so she didn't want to force her to take the medicine."

 

"But Sara lightly shook her head."

 

(“No, I'll use it. Besides, it's bad for us if I stay hurt like this. ”) 

 

"The person who was going to use the medicine was her and not Elena so she didn't have to worry, but Sara couldn't say that when she decided to take the medicine. Even so, he took the capsule from the medicine box and held it in his palm. A common way to use it is to swallow it as it is. Sara continued to stare at the capsule in her palm as she remembered the piece of paper on which the instructions on how to use the medicine were written. It wasn't a manual that came with the box, but it was a cheap-looking piece of paper with instructions written on it in bad handwriting."

 

(“In an emergency or if you need immediate healing, do not use it normally, but apply the contents of the capsule directly over your wound. And be careful because it can cause great pain. ”) 

 

"This is the instruction written on the paper. That's not the usual way to take medication. In the worst-case scenario, it could even make his injuries worse. Sara was a bit confused, but eventually she decided to take the medicine as instructed by the contents of the letter."

 

"He opened some capsules and applied the contents directly to his injured leg. The intense pain immediately struck Sara as the newspaper warned. He could feel something strongly healing the open wound on his leg along with the pain. Elena was worried when she saw Sara's injured expression."

 

"The pain slowly fades and finally goes away after a minute. Although he could feel a slight pain as he stood up, he was able to stand up without any problems. Elena was surprised when she saw that."

 

(“Sara, are you sure you are okay standing?”) 

 

(“I'm fine, it seems that the drug is very effective. It healed me until I felt I could fight normally now. Elena, how about you try using it too? ”) 

 

"Sara then took a few additional capsules and swallowed them. Since he was no longer in an emergency and did not need immediate effects, he chose to take the medicine normally."

 

"Elena decided to follow Sara's advice and take the medicine as well. Although Elena was not severely injured, she had some injuries and she was very tired, so she also needed healing. Not too long after he took the medicine, he could no longer feel the pain in his head. From her experience working as a Hunter, Elena understood that it was not only the effects of painkillers but due to an injury to her head that quickly healed."

 

"Due to the effectiveness of the drugs, Elena and Sara's evaluation of Akira turns back from a suspicious person into a savior with certain circumstances. Although it was reasonable, Sara and Elena looked at each other and smiled bitterly towards the fact that they doubted their savior a moment ago."

 

"Sara then smiled to change the mood."

 

(“Well, put everything aside, at least we know that the person who saved us is a very good person. I don't know where he got this drug, but since it's so effective, it must be very expensive, right? Although he helped us a lot, it is regrettable that we cannot say thank you. ”) 

 

 

(“I left him with my Hunter code, but I don't know if he will read it or if he will actually contact us ..”) 

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

(“It's entirely up to him whether he'll do that or not. But let's work hard so we can return the favor if we ever meet him again. ”) 

 

"Elena also smiled to change the mood."

 

(“You turned out to have an intent . We can't do anything about it, no matter how much we think about it for now. So, how about we loot the Hunter as a start to prepare to return this favor? Because it seems that the person who saved us is not at all interested in their equipment, so we can sell it for money and use it to refill your nanomachine. ”) 

 

(“Yeah, that stranger really helped us with a lot of things today. ”) 

 

(“You can say it again.”) 

 

"Elena and Sara laughed as they spoke."

 

"After that, Elena and Sara looted the corpses of the dead Hunters and returned safely to the city. They went to the ruins chasing unconfirmed rumors and placed their bets on those rumors. Then because of their mistake, they almost lost their lives and something more important than that. But the money they had earned from selling the equipment they had snatched from the dead Hunters was more than enough for Elena and Sara to change their conditions for the better."

 

"In short, Elena and Sara won their bet."
