Reawaken the World

Akira and Sheryl (Part 2)

"There were cases where the person standing on such a gang was someone who was not from a shabby city. Some of them work as gang leaders in secret while having other jobs, some are people who want to do illegal work in safe areas, some people with certain circumstances. These are the kind of people who create gangs that want to gain power and a lot of money."

 

"It was also just as common for gangs to be led by Hunters or Fallen Hunters. Their ability to fight monsters could be used in the slums as well. If Hunter was experienced in joining the gang and the news was delivered to the public, that alone was enough to increase the security of the gang members. And if it's someone who has a connection with the Exchange Center, even if you're selling scraped metal or other things you find around the shantytown, you know, it is less likely for them to think of you as someone from the Slums and try to take advantage of you. Thus, these kinds of people were allowed to have high positions in the gang even if they had personality problems."

 

"There are many reasons why these Hunters joined a gang in a slum town. Some of them stop working in the desert and decide to pursue success in the gang. Some of them did that to gather people to use as pawns that could be spent on achieving success in the desert. Some of them are just looking for a secret place to store their goods and money. Some of them want to leave a legacy by creating a very successful gang. And there are many other reasons that encourage hunters to get involved with gangs in the slums."

 

"Sheryl explains to Akira all the benefits Akira can get from being the boss and tells Akira that Sibea's position as the leader of the gang is empty. The Sibea gang was not built by leadership, it was a gang made by violence. Thus, it would be easy for Akira who killed Sibea to become its leader. Not to mention Akira is already famous for destroying the Sibea gang in revenge for trying to kill him. There will be no problems and there are many benefits to reaping, that's what Sheryl told Akira as she excitedly explained everything to Akira."

 

"But Akira beckoned by saying he wasn't interested at all."

 

(“I understand what you want to say, but it seems like it sucks. I am not interested . I'm sorry but my hands are full of my own care, so go and ask someone else. ”) 

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

(“T-Wait!”) 

 

"Sheryl desperately said that word when Akira tried to cut their conversation, but she didn't know what to say next. After all, it was clear that Akira was not interested at all. He could not produce anything more interesting than what he explained to Akira. If he kept talking about it, it would only worsen Akira's mood."

 

"It would be very bad if Sheryl bothered Akira here. Akira already knew that he was one of the people who attacked him, so he just let him live this time. So if he's bothering Akira here, it's not strange if Akira changes his mind and kills him."

 

"Sheryl who was afraid of making Akira angry finally decided to use the option she saved. He really didn't want to do it if it could help. He used his last option to persuade Akira and improve his mood."

 

(“... If you accept my request, you can do whatever you want to me. ”) 

 

"About staring at Sheryl's body, from her chest to her hips then into her arms."

 

"It was as if Akira was assessing the value of Sheryl's body. To be honest, Sheryl was not comfortable with that, but she had decided on her own and this was under the reach of her determination. He even felt grateful for his alluring figure for saving him from being killed. That's what Sheryl thinks and what she keeps telling herself."

 

"After finishing scanning, Akira's gaze turned back to Sheryl's eyes. He then replied back in a tone saying that he was not interested."

 

(“Even if you tell me. You don't look that strong. I feel bad to say this, but even it seems like you will be useless as a decoy or as a subordinate. You'll only slow me down if I take you. I'm sorry to say this even though you think that bringing someone like you into the desert might help. I understand that's why you try to offer yourself to plead for your life .. “) 

 

"Sheryl was a little confused after hearing that answer. He was stunned when he understood why Akira misunderstood his offer. Akira did not view his body as the body of a member of the opposite sex. When Akira scanned his body, Akira was actually just assessing his strength and ability to fight. And he judged that he would be of no use to him. When Sheryl noticed that, she was surprised by Akira's unexpected reaction."

 

"Alpha smiled bitterly as she spoke to Akira."

 

[Account. Sheryl didn't mean it that way, you know?]

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

“What was he talking about back then?”

 

[Well, he's talking about that, you know. Something to do with gender.]

 

(“.... Ohhh, so I did, huh? Well then, I really don't need it. ”) 

 

"Alpha looked surprised when Akira did not change her answer even after she understood what Sheryl was talking about."

 

[Are you sure? She's a pretty cute girl. She will definitely grow into a beautiful woman. Even though she won't be as pretty as me, she won't be as pretty as me, she won't be as pretty as me!]

 

(“I can understand you mean if you repeat it twice, so there is no need to repeat it three times. If you're talking about a woman who's going to take off her clothes and force herself on me, I've had enough. ”) 

 

"Alpha smiled invincibly at Akira as if she was invincible."

 

[So in short, all my efforts to train you against honey traps are not all in vain, yes!]

 

"Akira's face said as if she was saying something she shouldn't have said. He immediately changed the subject."

 

(“Ya you are right . Not to mention I don't want him to master my weaknesses. ”) 

 

[I think you two will benefit. Akira, even though you are still a child, you are quite romantic, huh. Or maybe it's because you're just a kid?]

 

"Alpha smiled mischievously at Akira who looked rather irritated. His expression then returned to normal and said to Akira."

 

[Account. Going back to the subject, leaving aside whether or not you're going to do something to Sheryl, how about you go and help her?]

 

(“Why?”) 

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

[You said this before, right? Hopefully your luck for the day might get better by helping others. You are always attacked by people and monsters no matter if you are in the ruins or in the city. Not to mention you're in this condition now. As I thought, You used your whole life to meet me. That is why, you may want to help a beautiful young girl who unfortunately ends up in a slum town. After all, you may be able to improve your luck by doing that. So this is a good opportunity for you, right?]

 

"about doubt. It's true he said that. It was when he decided to save Elena and Sara or rather, that was when he decided to kill everyone who attacked Elena and Sara. He recalled that he did say the random reason was because Alpha had no interest in helping the girls at that time."

 

"About sure if Alpha said it was because he still held a grudge against him for that moment, or if it was the way the Alpha roundabout warned him so he would never ask Alpha to do that again. Therefore, Akira's face stiffened."

 

"While at the same time, Akira was at a loss for words after Alpha clearly showed his bad luck. After all, he knew very well that he did indeed have a lot of bad luck. But even so, it wasn't like it was enough as an excuse to help him."

 

 

 

[I am against it because it has to do with your safety. Besides, it's not like I'm telling you to take care of everything and I'm not saying that you have to take responsibility for his whole life as well. You just need to give him a little push, just a little help, just give him a little luck, that's all. If he ends up meeting bad luck even after you help him, it's not like it's going to happen to you. You don't have to worry about it. While on the other hand, if the condition improves due to your little help, you can even expect some sort of return as its savior. And if it works too much for you, you can go ahead and cut it off too. It's something simple.]

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

"Akira's expression changed when she heard an unexpected answer. Something that he thought was too much pain in the ass sounded so simple to him now. The picture he has of helping Sheryl turn to a much smaller scale for both the better and the worse. It also reinforces Akira's hope, or more like hope, that this will make his luck better."

 

(“.... Luck, yes?”) 

 

"About muttering the word was as if it meant something to him. After all, whether it was bad luck or luck. Both were words that meant something to her."

 

"For others, Akira spoke telepathically with Alpha looking like a suspicious boy and silently changing his face from one to the other. But Sheryl didn't have time to think about it."

 

"It didn't work even after she offered her own body. So he could not think of anything else he could add to his offer. And she felt like it was meaningless even if she cried and begged. He's out of his mind now. When she started thinking if she should prostrate in front of Akira, she accidentally heard what Akira was muttering."

 

(“...Luck?”) 

 

"He tried to think of the meaning behind the mutter because he thought it could help him out of his predicament, but he couldn't understand anything. Then in front of the extremely confused and nervous Sheryl, Akira took out a coin. It was one of the 3 100 Aurum coins Akira earned from his first job as a Hunter."

 

"About flipping the coin as it flew and spun in the air before it naturally fell. Sheryl can't help but follow the coin until Akira catches her with both hands."

 

(“Head or tail, select one. ”) 

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

"Sheryl looked surprised as she looked at Akira and Akira just looked at her."

 

"He thought Akira would decide to help him depending on whether he could correctly guess which side of the coin came up. She was confused whether she should be happy because it might give her a chance even though she was rejected once, or she should feel sad because she was planning to decide to use it that way."

 

"He was confused whether he should choose a head or a tail, but that would not help him no matter how hard he thought. So he just prayed and decided on an answer."

 

(“... Head. ”) 

 

"Sheryl made up her mind and answered back."

 

"About peeking at the coin was such that Sheryl could not see the coin. Sheryl's face stiffened, Akira then closed her hand and inserted a coin into her pocket."

 

(“I'll help you but with some ties. I'm not gonna be the leader of your gang. But I'll help you to some extent. After that, you have to work hard and try to help yourself, in other words, I'm telling you to be the leader of your own gang. I don't mind if you want to be the leader of another gang as well. After all, what I'm helping you with is you as an individual and not your gang. So, even if you become the boss of another gang, I'm still not going to help your gang. If you can accept this rule, then I'll help you. So what's your answer? ”) 

 

"Of course, there's no way Sheryl won't take it. He happily bowed to Akira and said."

 

 

(“I understand, I will be in your care, thank you very much. ”) 

 

"With this, he gets Akira as his shield. But on the other hand, he should be the gang boss now. He doesn't know if that's a good thing. Akira did not even tell him the outcome of the coin back or whether his guess was correct or not. Sheryl was just filled with worry so she nervously asked Akira."

 

(“U-Uhm ..”) 

 

(“I don't mind you asking me, but if I tell you not to ask me something, then don't ever ask me that question again. ”) 

 

(“Y-yes. ”) 

 

"The reason why Akira gave Sheryl that warning was so that Sheryl who saw her expression change from one to the other without seeing anything would not ask about what she was doing or where she was got the medicine he brought. And Sheryl doesn't want to worsen Akira's mood, so she just replies with a nod."

 

(“So, what is it?”) 

 

(“Uhh ... Am I right?”) 

 

"About immediately reply back with those words immediately."

 

(“Don't ask me that. ”) 

 

(“...Iya . ”) 

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

"But there's something attached to Sheryl's heart, she doesn't know if she won the bet or lost the bet."

 

"Even for Akira who knew the outcome of the coin toss, he didn't know if it was a good result or not. After all, the result will only appear on its own in the future."

 

"Everything Akira said to Alpha was actually just an excuse. He did not even think in the slightest that it would help his luck. But that's not the excuse he made to help Sheryl."

 

"It's kind of cruel when it comes to killing people, but the moral basis is still unclear to Alpha. To understand the principles Akira adheres to, he encourages Akira to offer his help to Sheryl so that Akira will make more contact with Sheryl. It was the perfect setting to observe Akira to what extent he would go to help someone who tried to kill him once in the past."

 

"It's all for Alpha's sake, just for that purpose."
