Reawaken the World

The Unlucky People (Part 1)

"About finishing packing his things at the inn. He'll be heading out into the desert when he sees Sheryl waiting for him outside."

 

(“Akira, good morning. ”) 

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

(“Again, why are you here so early? I'll go to the ruins after this, so be brief. ”) 

 

(“Ah Yes.”) 

 

"Sheryl was actually trying to make a friendly smile towards Akira, but her reaction was very cold and her smile had no effect on her. Akira was a difficult person to solve, that was what he thought as he was stunned by his reaction. But he soon regained his composure and went on to explain about his business with her. It was about the current condition of the gang territory, the location of the base and how to get in touch with it. Also, Sheryl wants to introduce the gang's new member to Akira. He asked her to come to the base tonight. After he finished explaining everything, he casually made a move that showed that he really wanted him to come. At the same time, he's trying to get his solids fixed."

 

(“Ah, and also, if possible, can you come to the base from time to time? It's OK even if you come only when you have free time. ”) 

 

(“Even if you ask me to come only in my spare time, I am so poor that I cannot afford to have free time. ”) 

 

"Sheryl's smile faded as she understood that Akira wasn't kidding when she said that."

 

"To be honest, Akira actually did not want to lose his already scarce free time by adding an additional schedule to go to the base regularly. Not to mention that he worked as a Hunter which meant that no one knew what would happen to him the next day, therefore, it was very likely that he would eventually break his promise. Therefore he did not want to make any promises that he might not be able to keep from the start. Even though he himself was unaware of it, he cared deeply about keeping his promise."

 

"But Sheryl couldn't read the reason, so she leaned over and begged frantically."

 

(“B-can you provide your free time?”) 

 

"About rejecting his request, though he did not give a detailed time and date on when Akira should visit the base. Sheryl will be in big trouble if the people in the slums think Akira left her and she will be in great danger if Akira will not come to the base at all. As such, Sheryl understands that her absence could cause major problems for her gang in the future. He has to do something. She gathered all her experience to make her best expression to beg him."

 

"But even so, Akira's reaction was cold. He even tried to cut their conversation off as if he was upset."

 

(“... I'll talk to you about that later. Well, I might visit tonight if I have time, then we can continue this conversation. ”) 

 

"Sheryl was relieved because at least she got Akira's words for tonight's visit. So he ended their conversation so as not to disturb Akira."

 

(“A-I understand. Let's talk about the details later at the base tonight. I'll be waiting for you. ”) 

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

(“Is that everything?”) 

 

(“Ya .. Ah, by the way, I found a pile of bodies in front of my base. ”) 

 

(“Mayat? It was a common thing in the slums. ”) 

 

(“Ah, I didn't mean it that way, the bodies are pretty much so I think the area is pretty dangerous now. I'm sure you'll be fine, but just to be safe, please be careful when you come tonight. ”) 

 

(“I understand, fine then. See you around. ”) 

 

(“Please be careful out there. ”) 

 

"Sheryl saw Akira leaving with a friendly smile. But as soon as Akira's figure disappeared from his sight, his expression immediately turned confused."

 

('.. I asked Akira because I thought he did it but ... Did I guess wrong? But, it also felt like he was lying to me. So is that really him? But I don't think he had any reason to hide it from me if he was the one who killed the people who tried to attack me, he should have come to tell me to tell me that I owe him a favor. I really don't understand .. Well, they might as well be the ones killed in random fights.') 

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

"Sheryl then looked at the pendant she was wearing, it was something she got from Akira."

 

('. As I thought, this is a cheap pendant. Although I feel Akira likes this locket, but I think it's too cheap. Maybe I should have asked for something more expensive yesterday even if it meant I had to help pay as well, huh?') 

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

"Although she had already accepted Akira's words that she would help him, it seems that there would still be a lot of trouble for her in the future. Sheryl walks home thinking about what she should do next."

 

" *** "

 

"About continuing his shooting practice using the image of monsters produced in his vision support."

 

"His target changed from a monster that stood still to a monster that roamed around. Moreover, these monsters would attack if they paid attention to it. They would shoot him using a weapon that grew on their back and run towards him trying to eat him. This training was for him to practice being level-headed and calm even in such a situation."

 

"With his current ability, it was actually a very difficult task for Akira to accurately aim at the weak points of those monsters even though he was allowed to calmly take his aim. In the end, Akira could barely shoot those monsters accurately and ended up getting killed from the monster's counterattack. Thus, the image of him being killed kept piling up around him."

 

"Some of the corpses had the top or bottom half of Akira completely destroyed. Some of them were the remains of Akira's chopped body after being showered with hundreds of bullets. The images of him being killed in all sorts of bloody behavior kept piling up."

 

"About looking at the pile of corpses and muttering with a puzzled face."

 

(“Although this is just a practice and this is fake, I can't get used to seeing my own corpse like this. ”) 

 

"Alpha then answered with a serious face."

 

[It would be troublesome if you get used to this. Just because it is an exercise, do not take it lightly and do this seriously so that the same will not happen to you during a real fight.]

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

(“Yes I know . But other than that, there are many monsters in the eastern district and most Hunters can kill those monsters while humming, right? Ah, but that ability level is normal for Hunters, huh? I was actually happy after registering myself as a Hunter but I wonder how long it will take for me to have the ability as a true Hunter. ”) 

 

"Akira's training continues and it is clear that his abilities are growing. But it was also clear that his current abilities were still far from his goal."

 

"Even if the goal is very far away, there are people who think they will achieve their goal as long as they do not stop practicing. But half of these people give up halfway thinking that the goal is too far away or simply out of frustration at not achieving it. It would be troublesome for Alpha if Akira also stopped in frustration. Therefore, Alpha smiled to cheer him up and change the mood."

 

[There are also differences from the equipment you use, so there is no need to be too pessimistic. If you can earn enough money and buy good equipment, they will help you a lot, you know?]

 

(“Is that so?”) 

 

[Yes. If I had to give you an example, Sara and Elena whom we met the other day could defeat the monster you just fought despite the dozens. Although, I'm not sure if they can do that while humming.]

 

"approximately surprised. Even though he received Alpha's support, he never thought that the people who would die if he didn't save them would actually be so capable."

 

 

(“The two are that strong, huh? So why were they hassles at that time? ”) 

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

"The wrong perception of their skills suggests Akira's lack of experience and how badly he thinks about his abilities. Alpha understands that but he replies back while trying to avoid the subject."

 

[There is a difference in fighting monsters and fighting people. There is also the effect of colorless fog as well. But if I had to say, it was mainly because of their bad luck. But then again, as they follow in your footsteps, I wonder if they are caught up in some of your bad luck.]

 

"Alpha said that while joking but Akira seemed a little distracted by that."

 

(“... Can you stop saying that?”) 

 

 

"Alpha apologized while smiling as Akira returned to shooting practice without saying anything. He also thought that they were completely affected by his bad luck, but he hid this thought behind his silence. He also focused more on his training to hide the facts. Therefore, he ended up forgetting his goal that was still far away from him."

 

"Looking at that, Alpha smiled in satisfaction."

 

" *** "

 

"After completing his shooting training, Akira heads to the ruins in search of the relics as well as for his ruins exploration training. First of all, he took out his binoculars and scanned his surroundings as usual. If there was no problem, he would start moving into the ruins carefully."

 

"But something unexpected happened. When Akira confirms his safety and chooses a route to explore the ruins, Alpha who would normally not interfere with his training says to Akira."

 

[About, connect your binoculars to your information terminal.]

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

(“Hm? Good. ”) 

 

"About removing the cable from his binoculars and connecting it to his information terminal as instructed. Alpha then starts operating binoculars through the terminal. The image is zoomed in and zoomed in quickly as the lens moves quickly to the upper left-right. Since Alpha can only move the lens, Akira must help Alpha move the rest while following Alpha's instructions."

 

"The image of the binoculars changing rapidly from one to the other, Akira does not understand what Alpha is really looking for. Alpha correctly confirms all images taken by binoculars. He then suddenly shouted to Akira with a gloomy look."

 

[Account! Get into the destruction! Soon!]

 

"It would be fatal to ask the reason, Akira understood by experiencing it firsthand and Alpha had warned him about it before. So Akira immediately started running."

 

(“What did you find?”) 

 

"Initially, they wouldn't be able to talk while running because that would mess up his breathing. But thanks to telepathic communication, they can have conversations while running as well."

 

[There's a trailer inside the ruins that the monsters attacked.]

 

(“Wait a minute. So why are we running towards the ruins?Shouldn't we just avoid it? ”) 

 

[About, you can ask everything you want but don't stop running. There are a lot of monsters there. The people in the trailer fight back, but it's only a matter of time before they get killed.]

 

"About bewildered, but he didn't slow down at all, or else his life would also be at risk."

 

(“What I'm saying here is don't I have to run in the opposite direction? I have no obligation to risk my life to help people I don't even know, you know?”) 

 

"Although it was for her own reasons, Akira had helped Elena and Sara in the past even though she didn't know them at that time. But Akira completely ignored that fact and Alpha would show it normally, but he also ignored it this time."

 

[Of course your safety is top priority, so I chose the safest route.]

 

(“Wait a minute, so why should I run towards those monsters?”) 

 

"The question was perfectly logical, but Alpha replied in a tone that showed how bad their situation was."

 

[Unfortunately, the monster has surrounded you. Even if you start running back to the city right now, they will eventually chase and kill you. If you are trying to fight against the monsters in the desert where there is no hiding place for you, your chances of winning are basically zero. Those monsters might be focused on the people in the trailer at the moment, but once they're done with it, it's your next turn.]

 

"Akira's face twitched as she made a grim face."

 

(“So if I don't meet them and help them fight before they get killed, then we'll all die, huh?”) 

 

[Yes, that's it. And in the worst case scenario where you are the only one still alive, you have to go to the deeper parts of the destruction. We can give you better support when you are in the deeper parts of the ruins of Kuzusuhara City and it will give you a better chance of survival. But that would be our next plan if our plan to meet the people in the trailer failed. After all, you have a better chance of survival if you meet and fight with them. So that's why you have to be quick, if you're late, you'll fight all those monsters alone.]

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

(“You guys in trailer! Give it my best until I'm there! Fuck !! Is this because of my bad luck too? Because I used all my luck ?! ”) 

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

[I don't know who the fuck is. I'd say that the people in that trailer helped shoulder your bad luck.As I thought, Akira, you used your lifetime luck when you met me. Well, I'll give you my best support instead. So you're doing your best too, okay?]

 

"Alpha smiled bitterly and her serious face relaxed slightly."

 

"When Akira saw that, he was more or less able to understand his current condition. He made a puzzled face after hearing the cheers from Alpha as he continued to run as fast as he could to survive."

 

" *** "

 

"A trailer was heading towards the destruction of Kuzusuhara through the eastern desert when Akira was in his shooting training. It was a trailer made to traverse the harsh environment of the desert and was designed for long journeys. It was even equipped with a machine gun on its roof."

 

"There are 2 people in the trailer, Katsuragi and Darris. Katsuragi is an arms dealer who often sells his goods to Hunters. He has worked as a merchant using this trailer which also serves as a moving store for many years. As for Darris, he was the main fighting force of this duo. She works as a shopkeeper helping Katsuragi as well as her bodyguards."

 

"If you go further east than the territory ruled by the Corporate Government, there is an unexplored wasteland. Monsters as big as mountains roam freely within the unexplored desert. Due to the harsh conditions in the region, the Eastern Government was unable to explore the area even after exerting all its strength. That area is so dangerous. But ruins with advanced technology, even enough to produce those monsters, were in the region. It was a region filled with knowledge and treasures from the old world that were worth exploring despite the dangers."

 

"The "limit separating the territory owned by the Corporate Company from the unexplored treacherous wasteland is known as the Front Line. The Corporate Government continued to pour large sums of money into the Front Line to gain some of the treasures and knowledge of the old world."

 

"Of course, only high-level Hunters who were there and worked there were the highest points in the Hunter profession. Powerful hunters lived in that place, some of them formed groups that would even frighten large corporations while some of them were lone wolves that could fight against the government alone."

 

"Katsuragi and Darris are on their way back to the town of Kugamayama from the Front Line. Of course, the road from the front line was very dangerous, so a large amount of money was offered to transport goods. Usually, goods transported by large companies will be accompanied by many bodyguards. People who do not care about danger and risk their lives in transporting things by themselves can earn a lot of money."

 

"Of course, they would only do that if they already had a protector who would buy their things. The equipment used in the front line is of course of the highest quality suitable for the danger there. Hunters who only operated around the city of Kugamayama could not afford this equipment and some of this equipment was too powerful for the Hunters here. Thus, this equipment will not be sold around the city of Kugamayama."

 

"Being a talented merchant like him, Katsuragi was somehow able to get a deal. He therefore used his personal trailer, filled it with high-quality goods and began transporting goods through the long journey from the Front Line. They only need to go a little further before they reach the city of Kugamayama, so their bet is on the verge of success."

 

"But at this moment, they were driving as fast as possible, trying to escape the danger that was approaching them from behind. So they prioritize driving fast rather than driving safely. That way the car shook great."

 

"Darris yells at Katsuragi."

 

(“Katsuragi !! This is why I keep telling you to get yourself a better companion !! ”) 

 

"Katsuragi yelled back at Darris."

 

(“Close only !!! We didn't get a good companion because we didn't have enough money !! You know that too, right ?! Not to mention it's your fault for changing our route all of a sudden, that's why we're in this situation !! ”) 

 

(“Close your mouth!! The contract for the bodyguard was too short !! If I stay on the original route, we won't be able to arrive on time, you know !! If only you had more money, we could have taken a better route than this one !! ”) 

 

(“So it's money, yes !! As expected, this is wrong money, huh !! ”) 

 

(“Ya, this is money !! After all, this world uses money !! ”)
