Reawaken the World

Sheryl's Gang (Part 2)

"They are the remaining members of the Sibea gang. It was not like they were all sailing smoothly even for those who joined other gangs. Some of them could not get along with their new gang. Some of them were treated badly. Some of them were thrown away after the souvenirs they brought were taken from them. And some of them are not even accepted by any gang. To put it simply, those people were members who were trapped in that condition and had a hard time."

 

"So if those people see Sheryl walking with Akira, they will definitely come to ask her."

 

(“Base? Whatchu mean? Wait, besides, why are you with that kid? It was the boy who killed Sibea, right? ”) 

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

"When others ask him while puzzling, Sheryl just laughs and answers."

 

(“You heard what I said, it's my base now starting from today. The reason why I was with Akira was because we were talking. And from there, we concluded that I will be the boss of this place from today. That's why this building became my headquarters now ”) 

 

(“Akira? Is that the boy's name? ”) 

 

(“Ya, that's a good name, right? So, why are you guys here? Are you here to pick up something you forgot?”) 

 

"It's obvious that Sheryl teased them. Although he knew that it would only antagonize them, it did not stop him from taking that stance. After all, he did that to show them that he had a strong backing that allowed him to do so."

 

"It was quite effective when the other members started to put up their guard."

 

(“. So, what do you mean, you've talked to him?”) 

 

(“Do I really have to explain everything to you? I did say that I am the new boss of this place, right? So I spoke to Akira and he said that he would help us. But you know, because he works as a hunter, he's so busy that he doesn't have time to lead, that's why I'm going to take command. You should consider me as his representative. But like, because Akira has a picture that he has to keep, so I'm going to be the boss in public. But then again, since I am also the one giving the order, it will make me the real boss, you understand? ”) 

 

"But then one of them shouted."

 

(“But he's the boy who killed Sibea !! If only he hadn't killed Sibea, we wouldn't be in this country right now !! ”) 

 

(“The man gathered many people just to kill one boy but got shot back and killed, so what are you talking about? Are you stupid?”) 

 

(“Oi Sheryl, don't hurry! No matter how strong the boy is, you are alone now! ”) 

 

(“Hah? Are you seriously saying that?”) 

 

"Even though the men threatened her, Sheryl returned it ostensibly. So people started looking around them thinking that Akira was around"

 

(“It's no use even if you're looking for it. As I said, he was busy with his hunting job. ”) 

 

(“You ****** ..”) 

 

"The man then walked over to Sheryl, but his next words stopped him halfway."

 

(“Do you really think I didn't tell Akira about you guys? I'm waiting here because I predicted that you guys would come here, you know? So do you think I wouldn't ask him to kill all of you if I was killed? ”) 

 

(“... There's no real reason why he went that far for you, you know. I'm sure he'll only laugh when he finds out that we killed you. ”) 

 

"People thought that half was just a bluff so half of the men started threatening him. But Sheryl's smile remains the same."

 

(“He had a special reason for doing that, you know? I'm his favorite anyway. See these? I got this gift from him. So, do you really think he would just laugh at her after finding out his beloved girl was killed? ”) 

 

"Sheryl pointed her finger at the pendant hanging on her neck and wiggled it slightly as if to show it off to others. Since he showed it while smiling confidently, the men could not tell that it was a lie. It was not like they fully believed Sheryl's words. But thinking of Akira's possibility of taking revenge on them is scary enough to convince them."

 

"After they had argued with each other, half of them clicked their tongues and left the place while the other half followed them not long after. The only people left there are the little ones."

 

"The boys looked at Sheryl with a grim face, but then Sheryl deliberately intimidated them."

 

(“If you have no business here, can you guys just leave?”) 

 

 

(“... You know why we stay, right? Let's join your gang.”) 

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

(“So you accepted me as your boss? And will obey my command?”) 

 

(“... Yes, you are the boss and we will according you”) 

 

"Sheryl's lips curve a little upward."

 

(“If that's the case, I'll welcome you. But just go home now. I was busy with a lot of things too. I'll introduce you to Akira later, so come here again tomorrow night.”) 

 

"The little ones there would rather sleep in a safe place inside the base than in the wilderness outside, but it was not like they could go against their boss' words. Therefore, they had no other choice but to obediently leave the place."

 

"After everyone left the place, Sheryl walked into the base and carefully inspected her surroundings to make sure that she was completely alone there. After 10 minutes, he was finally convinced that no one was around."

 

"Sheryl's expression immediately changed, all the nervousness and uneasiness she was hiding appeared on her face. He felt like he wanted to shout there, but he could barely contain it as he took a deep breath trying to calm down."

 

(“... It's close .. It's really dangerous, I almost got killed there! But somehow I survived it! ”) 

 

"Sheryl receives Akira's protection, but that doesn't mean Akira can always stay beside her. So, Sheryl needs something that can protect her even when Akira is not around. It was his first step to being able to obtain it and he was finally able to complete that risky first step."

 

"After that, he thought that everything would be fine. After all, he did everything he could there. The only thing left is the bet. That was what he thought as he crawled on his bed. His nervousness and weariness put him to sleep as he lay on the bed."

 

('.. I was able to take a shower yesterday, I really wanted to take a shower today as well ..') 

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

"That was his last thought before he fell asleep."

 

"As for the outside of the base, some people who did not return decided to stay there."

 

(“Hei. Are you sure we'll do this? If Sheryl's words are true, this is a bad idea, you know? The other person is a hunter, someone who usually spends his days killing monsters, you know? Will this really be okay?”) 

 

(“Even if that's true, are we really going to hand this place over to the girl? If we can get this base to ourselves, it will improve our position as well, you know. Besides, I bet that all his words are just bluffs. It was also possible that the hunter's son had just randomly told him a promise as well. And even though she showed me the pendant, it looked like a cheap accessory you could buy at the stall there. I'm sure he only preceded himself after being told he liked it or something. If we can kill him now, no one cares ”) 

 

(“T-but still ..”) 

 

 

"After Sheryl talks to Akira, they decide to let Sheryl build her ruined gang. Thus, their base and the area around that base did not become open territory. With the slum city common sense, many people think that Akira took the Sibea gang and its territory in revenge. And when it came time to fight for the place against a hunter, the current consensus between the gangs in the shanty town was to keep an eye on them for a while."

 

"But depending on how far they believe Sheryl's words, they have another choice: kill Sheryl and take the base for themselves. And even if what Sheryl says is true, it is still doubtful that Akira will seriously help build the gang. There's a high chance that it'll cause confusion if they kill Sheryl now."

 

"If they could take over that base, they would be able to make a huge profit. After all, they could get a good position in their gang if they could get that base and the territory and hand it over to their new gang. Considering those benefits and the danger of Akira's revenge, half of them were convinced while half of them were against it."

 

(“Shijima-san also wants this region. We can get in a good position if we give this area to him. So there's no way I would let a little girl like her take it from me. Don't you think so too? ”) 

 

(“But if Sheryl is telling the truth and the hunter finds out what we did. That will be the end for us.”) 

 

(“If the hunter is there, Sheryl will definitely take him with her there. So this is our only chance to do this ”) 

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

(“But he may be hiding somewhere ..”) 

 

(“Not possible. Not to mention, that I actually doubt whether Sheryl actually talked to him. Maybe it was just a random promise the boy gave him when he slept with Sheryl. There was no way a hunter without money like him could fulfill that promise. ”) 

 

(“Y-yah, maybe so .. But still ...”) 

 

"They couldn't reach any conclusion. But it was enough to divide them into 2 different groups, those who supported the idea and those who opposed it. Then, the representative of the group that supported Sheryl's murder clicked her tongue."

 

(“Alright, we'll do this ourselves. You guys just stand by here and watch this place. You're good with that, right? Stay here, at least do that. ”) 

 

(“Well, if that's it, then definitely”) 

 

(“Alright, let's go”) 

 

"People who were about to enter the base nodded at each other and prepared their weapons before entering the building."

 

"Then at the next moment, they were shot. Some of them were hit on their heads and soon died there. Some of them were beaten in their bodies and escaped death. While some of them got lucky and escaped from the building unscathed at all. All these people are limping on the ground."

 

 

"Those who could escape from the building quickly looked around while shouting. Then they saw Akira holding his weapon under the shadow of one of the hallways. Akira then walked towards them and stopped right in front of them."

 

"About seemed emotionless even though he had just killed people. The scene caused the surviving people to start trembling."

 

(“K-you ..”) 

 

"I'll reply soon."

 

(“I'm the hunter Sheryl spoke to. I don't think I need to tell you this, but just in case it's not clear enough to you, don't you dare lay your hands on Sheryl, you understand? ”) 

 

(“B-kay”) 

 

"About then nodded and left the area. Some of those who were still lying on the ground and screaming in pain used their last strength to point their weapons at Akira. Therefore, Akira just walked over, pointed his gun back at them, pulled the trigger, and put a few bullets on them to kill them forever. Looking at such a scene, those who made the right choice and survived unscathed could not help but scream a little."

 

"When Akira walked away from those people, one of them asked Akira."

 

(“... B-hey, if you really talked to Sheryl, why weren't you there at that time?”) 

 

"About turning around and pointing to one of the faces of the corpses, his expression did not change at all."

 

(“You understand the answer by looking at this, right?”) 

 

"About then stand up and leave the place after saying that."

 

"People who were left alive grimaced and then murmured."

 

(“So he deliberately didn't show himself back then, yeah. Bad boy ”) 

 

"About intentionally not showing himself next to Sheryl in order to evict the people who were thinking of killing Sheryl. That's what those people think. Their faces frowned even more as they looked at the piles of corpses of their friends. They trembled in fear thinking that if they followed their friends and entered the building as well, they would join the pile of corpses."

 

"They could only mutter those words thinking that if their dead boss was a bad ex-hunter who could point his gun at someone else, then his successor is a worse hunter who can kill people without feeling anything."

 

(“. As I thought, hunters are just ” garbage) 

 

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

"When the man accidentally muttered those words, he looked around in panic and heaved a sigh of relief when he could see that Akira was no longer around."

 

"About just showing his face to those people and immediately leaving the place. All that was left in that place were the corpses of the people who made the wrong choice."

 

"Alpha asked Akira about what had just happened there when Akira was on his way back to the inn."

 

[About, is that really okay?]

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

(“Yes, I don't have time to be Sheryl's bodyguard. If that works out well, Sheryl will be safe at least for now. As for his future, it depends on his luck ... Is that not good enough for you, Alpha?”) 

 

"From that answer, Alpha thought that Akira would not do something dangerous with Sheryl as an excuse. And thus Alpha can understand a little bit about the person called Akira."

 

[No . If that's okay for you, then I have no problem with that. In addition, you also need to do valuable exercises today tomorrow. ]

 

(“A-kay”) 

 

"Alpha smiled invincibly as if she was enjoying teasing Akira. As for Akira, his face stiffened as he could imagine how difficult his training tomorrow would be."

 

"Sheryl, who knew nothing was greatly shocked when she found the bodies strewn in front of her headquarters the next morning."
