Reawaken the World

The Unlucky People (Part 2)

"Katsuragi laughed loudly from the driver's seat, laughing at their hopeless situation."

 

"The reason why Katsuragi and Darris feel desperate is because monsters follow their trailer. The monsters chased after them with their powerful strength while letting out howls that echoed in the air and earth-shaking stomps."

 

"They've been using machine guns on the rooftops of trailers to shoot the monsters out of bullets. Although it turned countless monsters into minced meat, it was ultimately futile. The monsters didn't even care about their friend's corpse as they crashed into them while chasing after Katsuragi and Darris. Not to mention the other monsters along the way joining them in their pursuit. Thus, the number of monsters was like a flood of destruction."

 

"The Hunters hired by Katsuragi and Darris to escort their trailer had abandoned them when they saw that the number of monsters chasing them was far greater than they could do."

 

"From an escort's perspective, it was because Katsuragi took a route beyond what was decided in their contract, they met those monsters. So, their current situation was a consequence of the employer not enforcing the contract, so the escort had a good reason to leave them."

 

"Half of the monsters even detached from the main group and began to pursue escorts. Thus, it could be said that their escort had done their job. And it could even be said that Katsuragi and Darris even had to thank them for their escort, but it was a different story whether they really felt grateful or not."

 

"Laughter Katsuragi and Darris slowly subsided. They are fully pumped with adrenaline because of the danger they face. But the effects of adrenaline fade with their laughter."

 

"Darris, who had regained his composure kept telling himself to calm down while making a serious face. After forcing herself to calm down, she realized how bad their condition was and sighed."

 

(“...So what should we do? We're gonna die at this rate, you know? ”) 

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

"Katsuragi then replied with a grim face."

 

(“I know . We have to change our location first, that's why we're heading to the ruins of Kuzusuhara now. ”) 

 

(“Ke ruins? But why?”) 

 

(“If we continue heading to Kugamayama City, we will definitely die. ”) 

 

"If they thought of escaping the monsters by heading to the city and finally bringing the monsters with them, then the city would definitely use its firepower to kill the monsters along with them. It would be more or less guaranteed to kill them, and even in unlikely cases if they survived it, he said, the city will arrest them for disrupting safety and have them reimburse repair costs from damage and resources used for defense. Even with all the money and wealth they had now, they would not be able to afford the fine. So the city would make them pay the fine by working hard, it would be much worse if they wished they had died."

 

"But even after knowing it, there are people in similar situations who drive straight into the city looking for slim chances of survival. Most of the monster attacks in the slum city that Akira went through were because of this."

 

(“Katsuragi, I know that much. I asked why are we heading to the ruins of Kuzusuhara? ”) 

 

(“That damage is another monster territory, the monsters that are chasing us also know that. So they might stop chasing us if we go deep into the rubble. Not to mention that the place was extremely dangerous, so we might even be able to meet a powerful Hunter who could clear all those monsters at once. You sent SOS, right? ”) 

 

(“Ya, I hope someone accepts our SOS request ..”) 

 

"Usually, any request submitted in the Hunter Office will be checked and evaluated in advance, so it will take some time before it is accepted. But in the case of an SOS request, it will be processed as quickly as possible and broadcast immediately. SOS requests are often used by Hunters who find themselves in an emergency in the middle of the desert."

 

"Since the person requesting the SOS will put the person in danger, the reward will also be relatively large. Because of this, many Hunters would accept such a high demand of low risk. Even if the applicant lied about the reward out of desperation, the Hunter Guild would still give the corresponding amount as a reward in their place. Thus the Hunters did not have to worry about anything. Therefore, it is better for them to send an SOS than to create a random wireless broadcast."

 

"Katsuragi clicked her tongue while still making a serious face."

 

(“Well, there is no chance we can go to the city, so destruction is the place with the best chance of survival for us. We can only let everything get lucky after that, let's go !! ”) 

 

"After that, Katsuragi and Darris immediately plunged into the ruins. They chose a route wide enough for the trailer to pass through as they continued to move deeper into the lane. They had no detailed map of the inside of the ruins, the map they obtained randomly from their network had many mistakes, so it was entirely dependent on their luck to the extent where they could continue to escape."

 

"Unfortunately, Katsuragi crashes into the wreckage throwing their trailer into a small alley, leaving them with no other choice but to stop their trailer. But it didn't end there, the monsters that were chasing them ignored the fact that they entered the territory of other monsters and kept running towards Katsuragi and Darris."

 

"Darris made a decision and shouted."

 

(“Katsuragi !! We'll shoot them back !! Quickly load the machine gun with new ammunition! When you're done, go back to your driver's seat and give me support with a machine gun! Given our situation, you wouldn't complain about the money we would spend on ammunition, would you ?! ”) 

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

(“I know! Be careful out there! ”) 

 

"Darris then jumps from the trailer and prepares his weapon when Katsuragi starts loading the ammunition as quickly as possible."

 

" *** "

 

"It was already deep into the ruins for him to be able to directly see the monsters. Several monsters noticed him and changed their targets from Katsuragi and Darris to Akira."

 

"About continuing to run while holding his AAH rifle. He's making a grim face."

 

(“Alpha, they noticed me! Are you sure it's okay if I continue like this?”) 

 

"About looking at Alpha with a very worried look, but Alpha doesn't change his commands."

 

[No problem! Keep running! I'll guide you !! Also, take your medicine while you still have the chance!]

 

(“Am I going to get hurt again in this fight !?”) 

 

[The medicine can also take away your fatigue !! Remember this, we will not get any rest from now on! You just have to follow my orders and shoot like you do and it will be fine!]

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

(“I was killed many times during training !?”) 

 

(“Remember the times when you weren't killed, you just have to do it like those times !! Hurry up! They're coming!”) 

 

"About taking medication while running. He kept an eye on the monster in front of him as he swallowed the medicine. He made a determination to face the upcoming fight that even made him have to take medicine before."

 

"He followed Alpha's orders as he stopped and took aim with his gun. His vision is further enhanced for combat with Alpha support. It showed a priority sequence to kill the monsters heading towards them and signaled their weak points. It also put the TP line of the muzzle of Akira's weapon."

 

"About aiming for the monster with the highest kill priority and directing the TP line to its weak point before pulling the trigger."

 

"The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the desert. The bullet flew from Akira's rifle and hit its target exactly. Although it did not hit its weak point, the anti-monster bullet was able to tear through its flesh, shattering its bones and causing quite a number of injuries in its internal organs which made it a fatal wound. The monsters that got hit by his leg significantly slowed down while the monsters that were hit right at his weak point had just rolled dead on the ground."

 

 

"The bull's-eye target on Akira's vision turned into a line and Akira followed that line with his weapon as he held the trigger. Bullets coming out of his snout rained down on those monsters and those monsters fell to the ground one after another. Some monsters were startled and stopped moving."

 

"About using this opportunity to run to the next destination position following the route given by Alpha and start shooting again once he reaches that position."

 

"Alpha continues to issue very strict orders. He considered everything within the command such as the monster's range of movement and Akira's amateur maneuverability. He adjusted his order for maximum efficiency."

 

"About trying your hardest to follow that order. Thus, from another point of view, it seemed like Akira was performing above his original ability. He himself was surprised by his appearance. As he continued to fight through the monsters, he finally arrived at the deeper part of the ruins, but then he thought."

 

(“Alpha, can I ask you?”) 

 

[It's a good time, so keep going.]

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

(“About the monsters I shot earlier, although I remember fighting against some of those monsters during my training, weren't they too weak?”) 

 

[No, just how strong they are.]

 

(“... If that's true, then why was I killed so many times during training against those monsters?”) 

 

 

"Alpha said that while smiling confidently."

 

(“Well, you're right too. ”) 

 

"He was in the middle of a battle and the training was useful, that's what Akira told himself when he changed the atmosphere and rushed forward."

 

" *** "

 

"Katsuragi and Darris tried their hardest to fight back. Their trailer was already surrounded by a pile of monster corpses. Blood flowed out from the half-destroyed corpses after being showered with bullets from their machine guns. The corpses piled up like hills and made pools of blood and soaked the surrounding area in red."

 

"They have to finish their fight before the pool of blood attracts more monsters, if that happens, they will be attacked by monsters from the ruins and desert."

 

"They had killed so many monsters, that they began to hope that the monsters would start to escape. But the monsters didn't even touch the eyelashes of their brother's corpses piling up as they continued to advance forward as if laughing at Katsuragi and Darris' wishes. They trample the flesh of their dead brother and turn the land into bloody pulp as they run towards Katsuragi and Darris."

 

"Katsuragi uses his machine gun to kill monsters that approach the trailer while Darris continues shooting monsters that aim to cripple them. If they stopped for even just a moment, they would join the scattered corpses. Therefore, they fought with all their might to survive."

 

"In terms of weapons, Katsuragi and Darris are definitely superior. It was clear from the corpses that kept piling up around them. But even so, it seemed like the end was nowhere near. The faces of Katsuragi and Darris started to pale."

 

"Katsuragi shouted as he cursed the monsters that kept coming at them."

 

(“Damn !! There is no end to them! Even if they eat us, they won't even get sausage meat for each of them, you know !! So why don't they just go eat the pile of meat on the ground !! There's only a mountain of meat sitting there, isn't it? Darris! I'm out of ammo! Can you handle it for a while until I finish reloading ?! ”) 

 

"Darris put on a grim face. If the machine guns stopped firing for even a second, they would definitely swarm in in no time. But he could not tell Katsuragi that it was an impossible request. After all, there was nothing he could do if he lost the support of the machine gun. So Darris yells back."

 

(“... Fast!”) 

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

"The machine gun paused for a moment, the monster held back by the machine gun immediately rushed in. When Darris saw the number of monsters charging towards him, his rational part told him that it was futile and there was no way he could handle them alone."

 

"Darris has given all hope. But at the next moment, the monster that was supposed to deliver his death rolled and stopped moving, a bullet pierced through his forehead. Then his corpse became a hindrance to the monster behind him, therefore, another monster paused for a moment. But during that small crack, those monsters were showered by countless bullets and fell limp to the ground."

 

"Darris then jerks back to the real world, he starts shooting back while looking at the source of the shot. There he sees Akira shooting from the window of a building near them."

 

 

"The tide of battle turns towards Katsuragi as Akira gives them support. Normally, it was not a situation where a single AAH could turn the tide of the battle, but because Akira continued to target those monsters while following Alpha's instructions, he could buy enough time for Katsuragi to complete the reload. As Alpha continues to issue commands that maximize its efficiency and by following Akira closely, the overall efficiency of the fighter is greatly improved."

 

"Akira's face twitched as she looked at the monsters that had already piled up in the area, but even so, she herself continued to shoot and add more corpses to the pile of dead monsters."

 

(“That's just a lot of monsters, will I be attacked by that monster back then?”) 

 

"Alpha smiled as she gave her confirmation and continued by giving Akira a warning."

 

[The odds are still not zero, you know. So you can't stop giving them your support.]

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

(“No need to tell me. There's no way I'm going to let myself be attacked by those monsters. ”) 

 

"About squeezing everything he learned from his training. He put down everything he had to provide support while thinking that it would be fatal if he released even a monster."

 

"It didn't take long before Katsuragi noticed Akira's help. He muttered with a smile as he was preparing his machine gun."

 

(“... So the SOS request has already been broadcast, huh? Fine . The future looks bright, we just need a little longer. ”) 

 

"With the machine guns back, their incredible firepower returned. And with the help of Darris and Akira, they slaughtered the monsters. Then after 2 more machine gun reloads, they finally exterminated all the monsters in the area."

 

"After they were done, Darris and Katsuragi were very surprised when they found out that it was the little boy who helped them, but even so, they did not underestimate him at all. After all, they witnessed Akira's abilities just a moment ago."

 

"Katsuragi smiled in relief and opened the conversation in a friendly tone."

 

(“Thank you for the help, are you a Hunter who received our SOS request?”) 

 

"It seemed puzzled as he answered back."

 

(“SOS Request? No, I will actually be attacked and run away from those monsters. ”) 

 

(“Is that so? It seems that the two of us are not blessed by the graceful luck of goddess lecsyan today. ”) 

 

"Katsuragi didn't say anything about the fact that they were actually the ones carrying the monster. That was because Akira did not ask them about it. After all, it felt like it involved Akira in their bad luck."

 

"Katsuragi then smiled to ease the awkwardness between them."

 

 

(“I'm Katsuragi and that guy over there is Darris. We are merchants and these trailers also serve as our mobile stores. We were actually on our way back to Kugamayama City. ”) 

 

(“I'm Akira, a Hunter, I just passed through the area by chance. ”) 

 

(“Oh! A hunter! Then you are a customer. It must be some kind of destiny. Since you saved us, I'll give you a big discount if you want to buy something, you know? Darris! At least thank our rescuers. ”) 

 

"Darris, who was doing treatment on his weapon not too far away, shouted back."

 

(“I know! I knew! I'm Darris! Thank you for the help you give!”) 

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

(“After we finish the treatment with our weapons, we will return to Kugamayama City. Want to come with us? Since we have just faced the scale of such a monster attack, you have not thought of continuing your exploration of destruction, have you? ”) 

 

"About also thought that he had enough for a day, so he didn't think of going back to training now."

 

(“Alpha, it's okay if we go back today, right? No, we'll be back, I don't mind. ”) 

 

 

"Looking at how desperate Akira is, Alpha smiles as if he's enjoying it."

 

[Sure, let's go back for today.]

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

"Even though he knew that Alpha would agree to it, he still felt relieved after hearing that."

 

(“Ya please.”) 

 

(“Oh !! She said yes!”) 

 

"Katsuragi laughed big and let Akira ride to the trailer. He then helps Darris in completing the gun maintenance and then happily starts driving the trailer. Although there were many monster corpses in front of them, it was no problem with the power of the trailer engine that was specially made to traverse the desert. Seeing how the trailer destroyed the corpses underneath, Akira looked rather agitated. But Katsuragi just ignored him, or rather, it seemed like he was enjoying destroying the monster corpses with his trailer."
