Reawaken the World

Revitalized Hearts (Part 2)

"Sheryl then stopped in the middle of breakfast and bowed to Akira."

 

(“Akira, I'm really sorry for bothering you yesterday. ”) 

 

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

(“Eh? Ah, it's okay, don't worry about that. ”) 

 

"After saying that without thinking, Akira remembered what happened the previous day. Although Sheryl started the problem, it was mostly her who blew up the problem. Even though he didn't feel guilty about it, he still understood it."

 

"Therefore Akira worries if that's Sheryl's way of saying that she hates him indirectly. But he was actually honest when he said that he was grateful. And since Akira was somewhat troubled by the bad thing that happened yesterday because of him, he replied in such a way that he tried not to offend him."

 

(“Well, a lot of things happened yesterday, but if something comes up again, you can tell me. ”) 

 

"If Sheryl thinks that she doesn't need to involve him in terms of yesterday's events, at least that will be shown in his behavior. So, by saying this she tried to calm her mind, but Sheryl answered back with something Akira didn't expect."

 

(“Then, can I hug you again?”) 

 

"As Sheryl replied back with a happy smile. Akira was a little surprised when he asked Sheryl."

 

(“...But why?”) 

 

(“I feel safe when doing that. Like, you know, I can feel very relaxed. ”) 

 

(“No.”) 

 

(“It won't get you into trouble, will it? And that doesn't mean you'll lose something, either. ”) 

 

(“No, I'll lose something. Ah, that's all, I'll lose my mobility. Besides, we're having breakfast now, it's hard to eat if you hold on to me, right? ”) 

 

(“Then, I'll feed you. ”) 

 

(“... At least let me eat my own food, right?”) 

 

"Sheryl then leaned towards Akira who was slightly pulling away. She kept smiling as she kept asking Akira."

 

(“Then, it's okay if I do it after we finish breakfast, right? Managing a gang is really hard. So I'm very tired now. Not to mention what happened yesterday. Treat this as a sanity check for me. If you let me do it, I'm sure I'll bother you less in the future. So it's okay, right? ”) 

 

"Kira understands that if she agrees with him without thinking about him seriously, then Sheryl will come up with all the reasons sought so that she can continue to cling to him. But if he rejected it strongly, there was a chance that something like yesterday would happen again. When compared to that, it might be better if she let him hold on to her, after all, it was not like it would cause her any discomfort."

 

(“Alright then, you can do that after we finish breakfast. ”) 

 

"Sheryl immediately beamed happily."

 

(“Thank you.”) 

 

"Although only a little, Sheryl is able to manipulate Akira. Alpha realized that when he decided to be more careful with Sheryl."

 

"After they finished breakfast, as promised, Sheryl clung to Akira. She hugged him from the front as she sat, he was in a position that looked like he was straddling Akira. He hugged Akira's back and neck, he looked very relieved. But he then asks Akira for something more."

 

(“May I ask you to hug me back or pat my head?”) 

 

(“. ”) 

 

"When Akira did as he was asked, Sheryl started muttering while looking very happy."

 

('What am I doing here ..?') 

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

"It made an awkward face when he asked himself the question. But when he saw Alpha smiling seductively, his mood instantly deteriorated."

 

(“What?”) 

 

[It's okay . He seems to like you a lot.]

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

(“Then, what do you want me to do ..?”) 

 

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

[Not knowing, I don't have an answer to that question. But if you don't get away from it, we should start today's lesson in this situation, you know?]

 

"When Akira realizes that he may really have to start studying with Sheryl clinging to him, Akira tries to release Sheryl from him."

 

(“Sheryl, can you let me go now? I have other things to do. ”) 

 

(“...I understand. ”) 

 

"Sheryl replied in a sad voice as she reluctantly let Akira go free. He was relieved because he thought that Sheryl would not let him go."

 

"Sheryl then smiled at Akira."

 

(“I'll be back to my base. I have to explain yesterday's incident to everyone in the gang. If I can, can you accompany me back to my headquarters?”) 

 

(“Alright, sure. ”) 

 

(“Thank you very much. ”) 

 

"Sheryl looked very happy as she politely bowed to Akira."

 

"After that, Akira accompanies Sheryl back to her base. Sheryl walked happily on their way there. Although Akira looked at her with a puzzled look, he only ignored her as he walked back with a happy smile on his face."

 

"Sheryl politely bowed to Akira when they arrived in front of her headquarters."

 

(“Thank you so much for accompanying me here. I'll call you back if anything happens. And also, I'd be very happy if you visit the gang even if you don't have anything to do here. I will do my best to manage the gang, but since it is hard work, it will be helpful to have a day like today where I can rest. ”) 

 

(“Well, I'll come again if I have time to spare. ”) 

 

(“Thank you very much, I will be waiting for you. ”) 

 

"Sheryl was standing there when she saw Akira leaving until she disappeared from her sight."

 

" *** "

 

"On the way back, Akira grumbled. He looks back on everything that happened yesterday, like Sheryl's emotional breakdown and a lot of other things."

 

(“Alpha, Sheryl really changed, didn't she? It seems, he changed a lot, but I can't explain it well. ”) 

 

[Well, it's not like he's depressed or anything like that, so I don't think there's any need to worry.]

 

(“You were right, but still ..”) 

 

"Alpha looked displeased as she said."

 

[From worrying about it. I'd really like you to be more careful not to cause any problems before you get your Augmented Suit. The last incident was quite dangerous, you know?]

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

"About a bitter smile as she makes excuses."

 

(“I'm sorry . I don't think it's going to be that bad. ”) 

 

 

[From now on, you really aren't allowed to go outside your room until you get an augmented outfit.]

 

 

(“Yes, I heard you loud and clear. I will obediently stay in my room. ”) 

 

" *** "

 

"The kids in Sheryl's gang didn't sleep last night. After the incident, Akira and Sheryl leave and do not return even after one night has passed. Then half of the children start to worry."

 

"The boys thought Akira and Sheryl were killed and they were already in an all-out war with Shijima's gang, so most of them had already run away from the gang. And most of the kids who stay at home don't do it because they believe Sheryl and Akira are negotiating with Shijima's gang but stay there because they have nowhere else to go."

 

"So when Sheryl came back, it caused a commotion in the gang."

 

"Although the children looked at her with worried gazes, Sheryl did not let that bother her as she continued to smile confidently."

 

(“I'm back . Has anything happened since I left? ”) 

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

"The kids just swarmed Sheryl."

 

(“What's with that question !? Or rather, how did the negotiation take place ?! ”) 

 

"Although all the children made a fuss as they surrounded him, he was very calm."

 

(“It went well. We have spoken to Shijima and settled everything, so there is no problem now. ”) 

 

"Kids are starting to make a bigger fuss. Although it was a very relieving answer, at the same time it was also a very unexpected answer. So they simultaneously tried asking more questions about it."

 

(“T-no problem, you said !? What about Akira !? She's not with you !? Was he killed ?! ”) 

 

(“Are you really real when you say that you have spoken to Shijima ?! But we did kill one of his gang members, you know !? So how do you solve it with just a talk ?! ”) 

 

(“Do we have to hand over our headquarters and territory ?! How did it end with that part ?! ”) 

 

"Sheryl smiled to calm everyone down and make them feel comfortable."

 

(“Akira not injured. The Shijima gang will not ask us to give up our base and territory, they might even cooperate with us. So that's okay, there's no need to worry anymore about this matter. ”) 

 

"Sheryl seemed confident in front of everyone. And from the way he said it, it didn't seem like he was lying or trying to deceive them. Thus they became calm even though they felt it was unbelievable."

 

"Then Sheryl's face turned serious as she said in a strong tone."

 

(“So, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you guys do your job like clearing the territory, patrolling around or collecting metal ruins? Or have you completed the job? ”) 

 

(“Y-yah, no. We think it is not the time to do such a thing when we are in this situation .. ”) 

 

(“So, where are the people who are not here now? Do you have a schedule change or something?”) 

 

"Then the children looked at each other when they hesitated before telling Sheryl."

 

(“People who are not here are .. I think they left the gang and fled. ”) 

 

"Sheryl then simply answered back casually."

 

(“I saw . In this case, we have to repeat everyone's schedule. ”) 

 

"It was entirely within Sheryl's expectations. Even after he estimated the number of people leaving the gang, he was not surprised at all. The only thing on his mind was that it was a good thing he could get rid of from the people who would leave the gang when he saw the threat. He then gave the order in a calm tone."

 

(“Erio, take some kids with you and look for those who escaped. If you find it with our weapons or food supplies, grab it all. But you don't have to bring back those kids. Alicia, confirm how many people left the gang and how many people are still here. Report to me after you're done. As for all of you, just follow the usual schedule for now. ”) 

 

"Some of the children looked at each other in confusion, some still wanted to ask Sheryl more. Some can't follow what's going on. And some just stood there dumbfounded. But no one starts working."

 

"Sheryl's face turned tense as she shouted."

 

(“Go! Now!!”) 

 

"All the children immediately rushed to their own work. Sheryl just stood there watching them rush over before returning to her private room."

 

" *** "

 

"The representatives of the children who remained at the headquarters, Alicia and Erio, were talking to each other. Erio made a puzzled face as he carefully asked Alicia."

 

(“Say, it's about Sheryl. He's scarier than ever, isn't he? ”) 

 

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

"Looking at how Sheryl can smile confidently regardless of what happened yesterday, Alicia had the same impression. But in order not to make Erio worry again and to keep herself calm, Alicia smiled and said."

 

(“I think it's just your imagination. He seemed to be in a good mood and confident in me. ”) 

 

 

(“Is that so? I saw . Well, he did say that there was no problem now. But since it happened, I guess it's better than looking worried, huh? ”) 

 

(“Betul . But we have to go too or he'll be angry. ”) 

 

(“You're right”) 

 

"Erio and Alicia then turned around and continued their own work."

 

 

"Sheryl was still in a good mood when she thought about her next plan."

 

"Sheryl was a smart girl from the start. And with his intelligence, he was able to do well in the Sibea gang and was able to live a fairly comfortable life. In contrast to that, he was not good at anything related to combat. Of course, there were a lot of fights going on in the slum city, but every time that happened, Sheryl always hid behind someone's back until it was over."

 

"But after the gang he was affiliated with disbanded. He was thrown into a world where he could be killed at any moment. It was a world where one needed to get used to it little by little, but he was suddenly thrown there without any preparation. It was a world too harsh for him."

 

"The endless days of nervousness, terror and pressure coming from such a world were emotionally exhausting on him. Somehow his heart was able to endure, but left his heart with countless cracks. Then finally, the final impulse broke his heart into small pieces."

 

"When his heart became dust and scattered into the wind, he looked for a place to lean on. Then he found a place to hold on to and it became a new foundation that supported him as he gathered a piece of broken heart into a new piece."

 

 

"The "cracks between the pieces he collected were filled with something flowing out from that new foundation. A safe haven, a sense of relief, trust and trust stick the pieces together and even transform them."

 

"Sheryl's soul was rebuilt from scratch when she met Akira. It was rebuilt repeatedly without changing its name or identity. Sheryl until now was unable to give her maximum performance due to her fear. But now that he felt a sense of security and regained his trust and sense of freedom, suddenly the ideal thought within him changed with the bigger picture."

 

"Sheryl then looks back to her former self where she was careless and full of flaws. There are a lot of points that need to be fixed. He pondered back as he decided to do better in the future. He had a lot of things he wanted to try inside his head. He reassessed, reevaluated, and improved all the ideas he had."

 

"As he thought about the future of his gang. He knew that it had to grow bigger and do better for himself as well as for Akira. It became something very important for him to make a world where he and Akira could live happily."

 

 

"When Sheryl imagined the future she wanted, she smiled charmingly."
