Reawaken the World

Alpha Support (Part 2)

“Once again the monster raised its cannon as if it was going to shoot another round. But nothing happened, running out of ammunition. Letting out another loud roar, his eyes once again, locked Akira and started running towards him.”

“Since she looked back, Akira stood still there surprised by what she saw. And even when the monster started running towards him, he was still frozen in his place.”

[Run!!]

“Although he could not see Alpha at all, he could clearly hear her voice yelling at him. He immediately regained his senses thanks to it and started running as fast as he could. But the monster had closed most of the distance between them, he would stand further away from the monster if he continued running without looking back at all. It was just as Alpha had warned, his chance of being killed skyrocketed whenever he did not do as Alpha.” had commanded

“The whole body screamed in pain, but Akira ignored him as he continued running. He could hear the stomping sounds behind him getting louder. But thanks to his exhausted body, it made his running speed relatively slow, resulting in the distance between Akira from him getting closer. But because, the earth rumbled and let out a rumbling sound every time his big foot kicked the ground, it made Akira realize how frightening his huge body and legs were.”

“Every time Akira felt a vibration and heard the sound of the monster steps echoing from a distance, it removed Akira's sanity. Not wrong again, he will turn into minced meat if one of those big legs falls on it.”

“Suddenly, Alpha appears next to Akira while continuing to run. He inched right beside her as if he was floating and moving above the ground. Akira could clearly see the mixed expression of seriousness and a hint of disappointment.”

[Geez, I've warned you many times not to look back, right? Try to follow my order exactly as I say next time. I'll give you a sign when you have to turn around and reply, so try your best to follow it, OK? ]

(Shoot back !? Are you telling me to fight with this little gun ?! ”) 

"Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation bubbles. "

[I've said this repeatedly to you, I won't force you to follow my orders. ]

(“I will obey you!”) 

“Akira shouted and wasted his precious opportunity to catch his breath, but Alpha was satisfied with that answer and smiled happily.”

[No need to aim at anything. Point your gun forward and empty it as quickly as possible, okay? ]

(“Good!”) 

“Alpha start countdown with her fingers.”

[5 … 4 … 3 …]

“Akira decided herself and made a grim expression. He knew that he had no other choice because he would be killed otherwise.”

[… 2 … 1 … 0!]

“Akira turned around as fast as he could and immediately emptied his weapon without aiming at all.”

“But when he turned around, the monster's big eyes were already right in front of the muzzle of his weapon. The bullet he shot at close range penetrated into the monster's eyes and swallowed deeper into its head.”

“Akira keeps pulling the trigger of his gun like a madman in such close range. All the bullets that came out of his weapon went right into the head of the monster so that it injured the monster from within.”

“Although Akira had caused a lot of damage to the monster, his increased vitality saved him from instant death. But it is not wrong again that it is already at the door of death as it continues to scream in pain until its inevitable death.”

“Although the dead monster fell limp on the ground. Akira kept pulling the trigger of his already empty gun.Just after he saw blood coming out of his head and made sure that the monster completely stopped moving at all, he removed his finger from the trigger.”

(“... A-what did I do ..?”) 

“Akira breathed roughly but he still managed to get a few words out. Since he could not be sure if it was really dead or not, Akira kept his guard up while staring at the monster. As soon as he calmed down and set his breath for a while, the fact that he killed the monster started seeping in when he saw the dead monster soaked in his own blood.”

[Accounts.]

“Akira turned towards the sound when she was about to slump. Then he would say thank you and sorry with a still dumbfounded face when he saw Alpha pointing outside the ruins with a smile. He soon bounced back.”

[In 10 seconds ..]

“Akira running even without waiting for the end of his words.”

“Alpha continued to look at Akira as she ran away, she just smiled kindly and suddenly disappeared, leaving the monster corpse alone behind.”

“Akira who kept running as fast as he could from the attacking monsters didn't notice it, but there was a lot going on behind him.”

“Just like Akira, the monsters can also see Alpha, so they try to eat Alpha which is behind Akira.”

(While Alpha actually uses himself as bait to lead the monsters around him, then he will let himself ‹eaten› after adjusting their position.)

“Those monsters couldn't feel anything even though they obviously bit him. Thus, they will pause for a while as they are confused by what happened.”

“Then, Alpha will tell Akira to use that opportunity to shoot these monsters. And just like when Akira shoots the eye and kills monsters from before, Alpha manipulates the position and condition of the monsters by using himself as bait so that Akira can easily destroy them.”

“The group of monsters appears when Akira receives Alpha's command, but Akira who runs as fast as he can out of destruction is unaware of it at all.”

“Akira could somehow get out of the destruction of Kuzusuhara city. The place is still a bit dangerous, but it is much safer there compared to the inside of the ruins.”

“Alpha suddenly appears and welcomes Akira as if she got there first. Akira immediately fell to his knees trying to calm his breath. Then Alpha gently spoke to him.”

[I don't mind if you want to rest there, but is it alright if I continue our conversation? We're in the middle of a conversation about how you'll get enough equipment and skills to explore the devastation I'd like you to visit. ]

“Ts: this code→ [...... ]mark to show custom chat bubble 'nano' or mechanical device. ”

(“Ah, sure, continue”) 

“Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation bubbles. ”

[For the equipment, you have to buy it or take it from the ruins. However the old world equipment you can find in the ruins is much more powerful than the equipment commonly sold. So I thought that you could buy your first piece of equipment, and then use it to hunt for better old world equipment from the ruins. As for your abilities ... There is no other way but to train and experience real battles. But not to worry, I can give you the best training with my support. ]

“Akira can't imagine what kind of training it is. But hearing from how confident Alpha sounds, he at least knows that it must be some kind of very effective training.”

(“It would be very helpful. But is it okay for you to give me a lot of help?”) 

[Don't worry, this includes my down payment, you know. Not to mention that so you can complete my request. So in the end, this was more or less for my own sake as well. If you think that I may have given too much for your down payment. Then you have to give your best in your hard workouts. ]

(“O-OK, I'll give you my best. ”) 

“Akira grimaced and nodded, he could feel how hard this special training he was talking about from his playful smile.”

“Alpha looked satisfied as she returned her nod.”

“Akira took out the hunter certificate from his chest. It looked like a cheap piece of paper with written evidence saying that he was a certified third rank worker from the eastern region corporate government. He also has an ID number as a hunter and his name is written on it.”

“Seeing very few hunter certificates that look like fake certificates, Alpha asks further.”

[... Is the hunter certificate ... Something that looks that cheap? Please don't get me wrong, it's not like I doubt it, it's fine as long as you can use it as a hunter's certificate? ]

(.. It should be okay .. I guess. ) 

“Staff at the hunter's office gave him a piece of paper when Akira registered himself there, no longer wrong. But after Alpha shows how cheap it is, Akira begins to doubt himself.”

[I want to ask you many things, from where did you register yourself as a hunter, is that okay?]

(“Sure.”) 

“When he told his story to Alpha from around that time, Akira recalled all the bad things that happened to him and made a mixed expression.”

“Akira go to the hunter's office located in the lower district of Kugamayama city.”

“It's located a bit far from the slum city. From the outside, it looked like a half-destroyed bar as half of the letters on his signboard were already unrecognizable. If it wasn't for the hunter's office symbol on his signboard, no one would have known if the building was a hunter's office.”

“Staff serving Akira is a drunken young man who doesn't seem to want to do any work. Being a hunter is a very popular job. Even in the eastern region and there were many great hunters in the area, but the man did not give that feeling at all. Although this is a popular job, many people do not like to be placed near a slum town. The man must have been someone who was demoted and transferred to this post which was in accordance with his motivation and ability.”

“Akira nervously asked the man.”

(“I came to be a hunter, can I register here?”) 

“The staff looked annoyed as he clicked his tongue and put down the magazine he was reading. And then she continues her task, though, Akira can clearly see that she doesn't want to do it.”

(“...Your name?”) 

(“Akira”) 

“Staff operated the terminal in front of him, not long after, a nearby printer printed a signed sheet of hunter certificate. He roughly took the paper from the printer and handed it to Akira. As soon as he finished his work, he quickly grabbed his magazine and started reading again.”

“Akira was confused, he went back and forth from the hunter certificate he had just received to that staff. He thought that registering as a hunter would require more work than that, but there, he simply told the staff his name and finished. He wasn't sure if the registration was really done or not yet, so he subconsciously asked the staff.”

(“A-What is it?”) 

“The staff looked annoyed as he shifted his gaze from the magazine to Akira.”

(“That's it, now go home”) 

(“You just need my name? Don't you need any other information too …? ”) 

“She looked very upset from the bottom of her heart when she made a move to expel Akira and said.”

(“Because you're going to die in such a short time, do you really think I'm going to ask you for more information? I don't care about the information you have. To be honest, I don't even care about your name. I just asked for it because it's the rule, I don't even want to know if it's your real name or not ”) 

“It reminded Akira of how valuable someone like him is. After he realized it, he just kept quiet and walked away from the hunter's office.”

“Akira keeps staring at his certificate after he finishes explaining how he got it. When he understood the situation where he was, he swore that he would crawl away from his current condition.”

“Alpha smiles as if trying to comfort Akira.”

[We will begin your training by reading and writing, after all, gathering information is very important. But don't worry, you'll be able to read and write in no time with my first-rate support. ]

(“I understand . I'll be in your care .. By the way, how do you know that I can't read? ”) 

[The name written in the hunter's certificate, it's Ajira. ]

“The man not only treated her with displeasure, he even made mistakes in his work. Akira desperately tries to refrain from destroying his own hunting certificate.”

“Then Alpha makes suggestions while smiling bitterly.”

[Let's go back to the city of Kugamayama for now, then we can continue our conversation there. Until you learn to write and read, I'll read in your place. ]

“Akira just nodded without saying anything. He slipped his hunting certificate back and started walking towards Kugamayama. Alpha follows and starts walking beside him.”

“Akira asked a simple question to lighten the atmosphere there.”

(“By the way, what is the name of the monster I just defeated in the destruction of Kuzusuhara city?”) 

[It's a gun dog. ]

(“...Through? who did not look like them at all, so the monster was also of the same type as them? ”) 

[It seems, the creature made a mistake in doing a self-renovation. That is why you can easily defeat him ]

(“Is the appearance just for show?”) 

[It depends on how you look at it. The Monster has a fatal weakness that allows you to defeat it and it is probably only due to pure luck that you can use that weakness. But if you can defeat such a monster once again, then you might interpret that his performance is just for show, of course that is if you can defeat him again without my support, you know? ]

(“No, not possible. ”) 

[Then that means my support is really good, so you better thank me for that, okay?]

(“Thank you very much”) 

[Together . ]

“Akira and Alpha keep walking towards the city while talking nonsense just like that.”

“From the outside, Akira will look like a crazy kid who doesn't talk to anything. But no one around told him.”

“It certainly saved Alpha who kept watching him since they met.”

“Thank you” to read to the end & ask for your support. ️👜 🌹(👒)
