Reawaken the World

Insect Cannons (Part 2)

"Akira's mood gets better and better every time she blows up one of those monsters."

(“Alright then, next! We beat most of them! ”)

(“It went very well. The other hunters are also working hard, we can win this battle at this level. ”) 

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

"Once most of the resupply robots were removed, the bombardment of the cannon insects began to weaken."

"The Hunters have also closed their distance to the herd. Since most of the Hunters had greater firepower than Akira, they immediately destroyed the herd in a short period of time. The last few cannon bugs just stood in their place doing nothing. They had run out of ammunition and no more robots resupplied around them. The Hunters simply walked towards them and crushed them to vent all the pent-up frustration and stress."

"Finally, all the cannon bugs turned into rubble and the battle had ended. Akira sighed, he was very tired."

(“... It's finally over, yes. Avoiding warheads while shooting monsters .. Although we somehow managed to do it, I don't want to do it again.”) 

[It would have been a tough fight if it wasn't for this bike. As expected, it's too early for you, Akira.]

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

(“Is it because of my equipment? Or my skills? ”)

[Both. Or rather, you lack everything.]

(“... Even though I have an extra suit now and your support is amazing, I'm still not that good, huh? ”) 

"A little depressed. He thought that he had gained a great increase in strength ever since he got his extra suit. But now it was as if his incompetence was thrown right into his face. Alpha smiles and tries to comfort her."

[If you can be strong in one night, then we won't be doing all that training until now. So let's keep working hard in the future as well.]

"About just changed his mood and smiled back."

(“You are correct . There is no other choice but to work hard, yes ... Besides, I wonder how they will share the gift of this. We are working very hard this time, so I am looking forward to the big prize. Although to be honest, I don't really know how they will decide my gift.”) 

[Well, I think it's at least enough for you to stay in the bathroom. So, you can expect to have a good rest today.]

(“That's right, I guess I'll do it. ”) 

"About a short rest before heading back to the truck. When he arrived, the other Hunters who returned to the truck in front of him greeted Akira."

(“That was Amazing . I'm thinking you're planning on being bait because you go with just an AAH rifle. But it's really something.”)

(“Yeah, after all it's the famous AAH rifle.”)

"Although Akira was half-joking when he said that, the man seemed confident in his answer." 

(“Are you, by any chance, an AAH fan? Is that a modified AAH rifle? ”) 

(“AAH Fans? Well, I do love guns. Anyway, I bought it from my acquaintance's store, but I'm not too modified.”)

(“Then, that means your acquaintance is actually selling a modified rifle without telling you. Fans tend to do that to make more people like their favorite weapons. Well, if a Hunter like you really likes that rifle, I'm sure there will be more people liking that weapon in the near future. As expected of the famous rifle.”)

"About completely understanding the reason, so he asked Alpha."

(“Alpha, what is this AAH fan object?”)

[I think it refers to people who really like AAH rifles.]

(“Well, at least I can understand that, but still ..”) 

[If you are curious about it, you should investigate it yourself later. It is also a type of training.]

(“...Good.”)

"When Akira was still wondering about the meaning of those words, another Hunter came to him. He looked hesitant as he spoke to Akira."

(“I'm sorry, but we have more Hunters injured. We've used all our medicines. If you have some to spare, can you sell it to us again? ”)

(“Sure, I still have some left ..”) 

"When Akira took down his backpack and weapon, took out a box of medicines, and was about to hand them over. Suddenly he had a very bad feeling, in fact, it was the worst he felt that day."

"Suddenly a monster appeared near Akira and the other Hunters and it ran straight to them. It was a relatively large sized biological monster with a strong and durable body."

"That monster ignored the bullets that flew towards it as it pushed away the bodies and debris as it ran towards the truck before being knocked down by the powerful explosion. The Hunters thought that it was dead, but actually it was just knocked unconscious."

"During the fierce battle that had just taken place, they did not have time to check if all the monsters that had fallen around them were actually killed. So they left this monster alone thinking that it was dead."

"After the monster regained consciousness, it followed the beast's instinct to attack the nearest human, and the nearest human was Akira."

"About moving to shoot the monster, but he realizes that he has no weapon in his hand. He quickly tried to grab his weapon that fell on the ground. But that sequence of thoughts made his reaction slow down even more. Akira's late reaction turned the situation to its worst as the monster was already right in front of him with its big mouth wide open."

('I won't make it in time !!! I'm really dead now!!')

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

"When the world felt like it was moving slowly, Akira could feel death creeping towards him. In the next moment, Akira's augmented fabric moved on its own. His entire body was rotating with his left leg as a shaft as Akira raised his right leg simultaneously."

"The augmented suit ignores the safety of its users and exerts all of its power, so for a moment, Akira's Strength and abilities break through the boundaries of ordinary humans and penetrate into the superhuman world."

"Akira's "right foot sliced through the air and sped towards the head of the monster that was right in front of him with enough force that it could easily send the metal wreckage flying. But even with that much power, he was unable to kill the monster."

"Despite retreating from the kick, the monster did not fall to the ground. The powerful shock in his head only stopped his movements for a moment. During that opening, Akira's arm quickly grabbed his own AAH rifle."

"Although she was still very confused, Akira quickly regained her composure when she immediately put her gun into the mouth of the monster and pulled the trigger." 

"As he held the trigger of his weapon, the bullet coming out of his muzzle tore the monster's head from inside. But even so, it was only enough to injure the monster and not enough to kill it."

"About firmly holding the trigger and emptying the magazine into the monster's mouth."

"There was a moment of silence after the huge body of the monster fell to the ground and never moved again for the second time. Akira breathed violently."

(“A-do you move my body, Alpha?”) 

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

[Yes. You should quickly treat your wound before the suit you add to it stops working.]

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

(“Stop working? Is it broken? ”)

[Energy exhaustion. Although I can increase the power output above its limit for a few seconds, it consumes a large amount of energy in a short period of time. I had no other choice then, you know. But since I pushed him past his limit, probably broken, we should do a thorough check later.]

"about sitting. His entire body was pulsing in pain, especially his right leg."

(“... My right leg, I wonder if it broke.”)

[Well, I did harden the enlarged clothes as hard as possible, but since it wasn't designed with user protection as one of its main functions, there was a limit to how hard it was. If you don't heal your feet, you won't be able to walk home. You need to take care of your feet quickly.]

(“I just need to swallow them, right? Since it's a broken bone, it doesn't mean I have to open my leg to apply the medicine directly to the broken bone, right? ”)

[In the worst-case scenario, you have no choice but to do that, you know? For now, you just need to straighten the broken bone and swallow the medicine. It may take some time to fully heal your broken bones, but I think it will be fine at the moment. So, should I help you straighten a broken bone?] 

(“...Yes please.”)

"After that, Akira's hand began to move on its own and grabbed his right leg. Alpha then partially shuts off the augmented suits, so the augmented suits regain their elasticity and weight. And with that, the entire extra outfit firmly straightened Akira's broken bones. The intense pain immediately struck Akira, he gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain."

"After that, Akira took out his medicine box and poured all the medicine inside the box into his mouth. When he swallowed all those medicines, the analgesics inside the medicine immediately relieved his pain, but even so, he could still feel the healing nano quickly gathering around his right leg."

"As she firmly squeezed the empty medicine box, Akira's eyes met the man's eyes earlier. He quickly picked up his backpack and made sure that he did not have much medicine left. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to hand a box to the man. The hunter received the box, paused for a moment and then returned the box to Akira. Akira looked puzzled when Hunter did that, but he just smiled and said to Akira."

(“There's no way I could have received that box when someone as good as you made that face. Not to mention you already gave me a box before.”)

(“Are you sure? ”)

(“Yes, the Hunters were not seriously injured. They'll be fine if we let them rest.”)

"The other Hunters came running when they heard gunshots, then the man in front of Akira shouted at them." 

(“There are monsters that have just lost consciousness and are not dead yet !! Go and check out the other monsters, if you find any of them with their heads intact, shoot them a few times in the head as a precaution !! ”)

"The other Hunters quickly took out their weapons in a panic."

"All of the Hunters there, including Akira, had lowered their guard because they thought that the battle was over, so it would take some time before the Hunters could return the guards."

"The Hunters who had just repelled the attack from the horde of cannon bugs were once again waiting for reinforcement."

"About using his wound as an excuse to rest because the other Hunters were constantly monitoring the surroundings. The reason why none of them complained when Akira was resting was because they acknowledged Akira's hard work"

"About starting to prepare himself for another fight. Of course, he hoped there would be no more battles, but the world did not care about his wishes."

"Therefore he had no choice but to prepare himself. He replaced the resources of the augmented suit with a new energy package before the augmented suit ran out of energy and turned into just a dead weight suit."

"He then took the full magazine and put it in his AAH rifle."

"He also attached a few spare magazines around his added suit. When he finished, his right leg was almost completely healed. With this, he was ready to go to another round."

"About staring into his backpack and sighing the biggest of the day. He only has a reserve amount of spare ammunition and healing medicines." 

(“.... I don't have much left, I have to fill up the ammunition reserve when it comes back ... I will get a gift from this, right?”) 

"Alpha smiled and tried to comfort her."

[I don't know for sure how many bikes it is, but you fought quite a lot today, so I'm sure the reward will be enough to cover it. So don't worry, it'll be fine.]

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

(“Is that so? I guess you're right.”)

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

"About deciding to just accept his explanation. Although she remembers Alpha once telling her that she did not know for sure how many gifts she would get, Akira just decided to forget that part for now. Either way, he'll feel better like this."

"As the day grew darker and the sun was about to set, reinforcements finally arrived. They decided to pull the damaged truck back into town. As they get ready to tow the truck, Akira just sits on his bike and waits for them to finish."

"Suddenly, Kibayashi waved at him. He looked like he was in a good mood."

(“You're there! So you're alive, huh !! I heard everything from the other Hunters, you did a crazy thing there. To be honest, I think you must be dead by now. It seems that my ability to judge people has gone bad, yes. But at least, I was right when I said that you are a Hunter who will challenge rash, impossible and even pointless things.”)

"About frowning a bit when Kibayashi said that he thought Akira was dead now. But he could understand Kibayashi's opinion, so he controlled himself and did not retaliate."

(“... The bike is really useful, so thank you for the bike. ”)

(“I am happy to hear it . That is the right choice to give you that bike. And it's double right if it helps you do those crazy things.”)

(“Ah, true. About the emergency request I received, what should I do before it is considered completed? Was it until these Hunters returned safely to the city? ”)

(“Ah, about it, wait a minute.”)

"Kibayashi took out his information terminal and operated it"

(“Alright, I've finished registering your achievements for an emergency request. You can do whatever you want now. ”) 

(“That's it? Is it alright not to escort the Hunters back to the city? ”) 

(“Ya, after all, we came here due to another request for help. The group of monsters that were heading towards the city from the ruins of Kuzusuhara had already been annihilated by the defense forces. The emergency request has ended. Therefore, we have the leeway to send some people to help the other Hunters now. ”)

(“Ohh so.”)

(“Now you mention it, do you want to take a help request as well? If you want to accept that request, I'll help you with registration here and now.”) 

"It looks very tired as he shakes his head." 

(“...No, thanks . Since I am done with the emergency request, I will go first and return to the city first. After all, I've used most of my ammunition reserves and not to mention that I'm really tired now.”)

(“Well, that's too bad. I really hope to see what crazy things you would do if we were attacked on the way back, you know.”)

(“... Hahaha, give me a break. Then, I'll be back first.”)

(“Be careful when you return, okay? If you're going to die, make sure you die from doing something really crazy. So don't die from something as limp as tripping off your bike, okay? ”) 

"About feeling more tired when he saw Kibayashi was very excited and in a good mood. He then sighed and went to the city. When Kibayashi sees Akira leaving with a big smile, the other Hunter Office staff come to him and report."

(“Kibayashi-san, I've checked the historical log data of the fight. It looks like the damage to the truck is mostly done on the driving function, so we can easily retrieve the data, but .. There is one strange data of this ..”)

(“Data is weird? ”)

(“For some reason, there is this one Hunter that makes strange movements, or rather, reckless movements. There was ridiculous data that said that this Hunter charged straight into the monster monster alone and started shooting at the horde. It may also be due to some kind of damage to the information collection device .. ”) 

"Kibayashi laughed out loud when he heard the report. He then said to the other staff."

(“Ask other Hunters to check if the data is correct or not. No, wait, I'll do it. Don't keep erasing the data even when you think that it's out of harm's way, okay? Aaaah, or rather, just send the data to me and I'll check it out later. I'll go and ask the Hunter on the tray, you just go and start driving after the preparations are done. ”)

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

(“Ya pack.”)

"The staff then returned to his job preparing the truck for the move. As for Kibayashi, he smiled and muttered."

(“... The boy, he was crazy enough to even make the staff doubt the data huh. Very good !! It has been so long since I last met Hunter with this much spirit !!! ”)

"Kibayashi was in a very good mood that day."
