Reawaken the World

Various Battle Outcomes (Part 2)

"Even today, no one knows for sure why such a thing happened. There were many theories floating around like they were descendants of people from the west who could kill many monsters with their bare hands or just with swords. Some even think that they are the descendants of humans who were physically enhanced using old world technology."

 

"The reason why Elena could carry all the heavy information gathering devices without additional clothes was because of her training and not because she was superhuman. For Sara who almost had the same strength as the person with the augmented suit, Elena was relatively weak."

 

"There is no precise way to measure one's physical strength. Those who aim to become superhuman have no other choice but to believe that they are superhuman and continue to practice. Not to mention, there are rumors saying that using an augmented suit will stop your physical abilities from improving because training will become meaningless at that."

 

"Because of that reason, plus they are in economic trouble to date, Elena has no leeway to buy an augmented suit. But the money problem, or rather, Sara's nano-abdominal backup problem is already solved. Because of that, Elena thought that it was a good opportunity to update her equipment and give up improving her physical abilities through normal training."

 

(“Well, it's true that this is a great opportunity to do that. Shizuka, can you choose something good for me? ”) 

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

"Shizuka seems troubled, she and her shop don't specialize in augmented suits."

 

(“Stop that, you have to go to the right store for it. Go ask the experts about it and buy an augmented suit from them. I'm sure you can buy one with a gift of money that you both received, right? ”) 

 

(“Well, it's okay, isn't it? I've heard that you chose Akira's augmented clothing, you know. So you've got experience in choosing one, right? I want to buy all my equipment from the same store. Not to mention, I don't like gauges in specialty stores. I just felt uncomfortable with the measuring device that measured my body to the smallest detail. I can understand that if someone wants to get a custom augmented suit that fits their body, but it's not like I plan to buy something expensive. ”) 

 

(“Then, you select the plus suit then I will order it. Gathering and analyzing information to come up with conclusions is your forte, right? ”) 

 

(“I ask you to pick one because usually you have good intuition, you know. Not to mention whatever you suggested was not quite right up until now. So, aren't you going to do it for me? Think of it as a service for your frequent customers. Since you did that for Akira, at least you can do that for us who have been coming to this store for longer, you know? ”)

 

"Shizuka finally gave up and smiled bitterly. He then replied back cheerfully as he smiled."

 

 

(“It was inevitable. I'll get you to buy a very expensive one, so you'd better be prepared for it. ”) 

 

"After hearing Elena wanted to buy an augmented suit, Shizuka suddenly remembered something."

 

(“Added settings, yes? Just a question, but did you become so powerful just by equipping one? ”) 

 

"Sara answered Shizuka's question."

 

(“Of course not . The Augmented Suit is nothing more than a piece of equipment, you can't be powerful unless you practice. It's not a rare occurrence for a Hunter to have difficulty in performing simple movements due to the sudden increase in strength, you know. But well, if we are talking about the augmented suits of the old world, I guess it is expected for you to suddenly become strong without any additional training. Even though I increased my strength with nano, I still had to undergo hard training to become this strong, you know? ”) 

 

(“. ”) 

 

"It's no mistake that Akira earned a large sum of money from yesterday's big battle. But even so, it is still not normal. He should not have had much time to train himself properly, not to mention that he was fighting against mechanical monsters with just an AAH rifle that was not an effective rifle against such an enemy. It's hard to believe that he'll come back alive from that battle with 12,000,000 Aurums."

 

"Shizuka was still bothered by him, that's why he clarified with Elena and Sara. And Sara's reply confirmed that it was indeed a strange situation. But when she saw Sara, she remembered what she had talked to Sara not long ago. And suddenly, it all makes sense."

 

('. As I thought, Akira is someone who can connect to the old world domain. But the added clothes should have nothing to do with it. After all, I was the one who chose that augmented suit for her. Ah, now that I think about it again, he did ask for some specific functions. I wonder if those functions are very useful for someone who can connect to the old world domain.') 

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

"When Shizuka was about to dig deeper, she suddenly decided to stop there."

 

(Well, I can't seem to ask him about that. I guess I should stop trying to dig deeper.') 

 

"Lookiness killed the cat. If he lied too deeply, it might rub Akira the wrong way. When Shizuka thought that, she decided to stop thinking about it."

 

"After their silly talk, Elena suddenly asked."

 

(“But about another topic, Shizuka, what do you think about that battle?”) 

 

(“Even if you ask me, I don't know much beyond what's reported. Is there anything strange in that report?”) 

 

 

"There's a big wall display in Shizuka's shop. It is organized primarily to show information about the Government of the Company, the City, the Hunter Office, or other Hunter-related information. When Shizuka turned on the screen, it showed news of the attack. A woman from Corporate Government delivered the news."

 

(“The Corporate Government concluded that yesterday's monster attack from the ruins of Kuzusuhara was a terror attack instigated by nationalists. There are already a number of confirmed statements from several groups *******. They say that this is a holy war against the eastern districts ruled by the Corporate Government that are treating them unfairly. The Corporate Government immediately took action in response to this statement to protect the people of the group ******* that disturb the peace in the eastern district ..”) 

 

"Sara then expressed her opinion on the news."

 

 

(“Nationalists, huh? I am sure that is the reason why the sender of the request is Corporate. If they had that information before the incident happened, I really hope they will do something about it. Well, that doesn't mean I have something to complain about the prize. ”) 

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

"It was a big thing in the eastern district when the Corporate Government issued the request, not to mention that the reward would also be huge. After all, if the reward is too small, it will damage the reputation of the Corporate Government, and even more important when it comes to the demand regarding the nationalists."

 

"Nationalists aim to form a nation. There were many of them in the eastern district so the Corporate Government could not simply ignore them. They also received assistance from the Federation of Nations in the central district which worsened the situation in the eastern district. These nationalists frequently invaded and occupied a city and declared independence from the Corporate Government. When that happens, the situation often develops into a full-blown war. Because of this, many cities had turned into mountains of ruins that ended up being a huge expenditure for the Corporate Government."

 

"Elena disagrees with the news."

 

(“To be honest, I don't think this city has such a big influence that nationalists will be aiming at this city. The bait monsters from the deeper parts of such ruins would definitely require a lot of sacrifice from the nationalist side. Not to mention that it would affect their current position among other nationalists. It is still questionable how much of that news is actually. What do you think, Shizuka? ”) 

 

"Shizuka spent quite a bit of time thinking before answering."

 

(“They don't lie. The story is in accordance with the situation. But something still bothers me. But then again, about that part .. Not that we can do anything, right? ”) 

 

"No matter what actually happened behind the scenes, it was not like it would cause any harm to them. At least that was what Shizuka's intuition told her."

 

"Elena and Shizuka changed the topic of their conversation."

 

(“It's true . Since they gave us such a huge gift, I don't think it's something for us, the Hunters, to worry about. Instead of talking about it, let's focus more on how we're going to spend the prize money. Shizuka, with that, I'm counting on you for an augmented suit, okay? ”) 

 

 

"Shizuka smiled fearlessly while teasing Elena."

 

"Shizuka's intuition that day was exactly as usual."

 

 

"Armed forces marched into the deeper parts of Kuzusuhara ruins. Their weapons were on a different level compared to the ordinary Hunters around the city of Kugamayama and their coordination showed that they were well-trained warriors."

 

"The squad was commanded by a man named Yanagisawa. He marched in front of his troops, leading them deeper into the ruins."

 

(“Captain Yanagisawa. Are you sure this is okay? ”) 

 

"Yanagisawa laughed as she replied."

 

(“As I said before, it doesn't matter. The Company has granted its permission. ”) 

 

(“But still, to lure a horde of monsters into the city .. Not to mention that the news blamed nationalists for the incident as well. In the worst-case scenario, they might think that we are one of those nationalists, you know? ”) 

 

(“The person who actually lured monsters into the city and died doing that was really a nationalist. He was a member of Alford's army. So it is not wrong to say that the nationalists did it. That guy actually fulfilled his goal in exchange for his life, so I'm sure he has no complaints whatsoever. ”) 

 

 

(“That guy was one of Alford's troops, huh? And here I was wondering where you got that guy from. I never thought that you had some relations with the nationalists. ”) 

 

(“Well, information is very important. If you have a clue, you will be able to find it in no time with a little digging. ”) 

 

"Another man joined."

 

(“Although the defense is going well, I still wonder if it's really okay. This kind of thing will usually warrant the death penalty, you know? I don't know what you're planning, Captain. But please don't leave us, okay? ”) 

 

(“I did ask the Corporate Company to keep quiet about that part as well, so don't worry. The defense forces had not gotten a chance to act lately and the wealthy people living inside the walls began to complain about the expensive maintenance costs for the defense forces. Perhaps it was because they were spending their lives leisurely in a safe environment that they had forgotten this place was also a part of the eastern district. This area is filled with monsters as well as part of the eastern district. Security is an expensive commodity. It is important to remind people on the inner wall not to be too comfortable with their easy life. ”) 

 

 

"But then another man joined them and asked."

 

(“Then, won't the monsters from the other ruins work well? There is no particular reason why we should bait super strong monsters that roam the deeper parts of Kuzusuhara ruins, right? ”) 

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

(“It has been quite a while since the last expedition was sent to explore the outskirts of Kuzusuhara ruins. So the Corporate Government should think that maybe it's time to send a real expedition to the deeper parts of the ruins. That's why we are depleting the number of monsters in the deeper parts. We lured them out into the desert because if we were here, we could use tanks and other weapons with big guns to annihilate them. That method is much safer than sending soldiers into the rubble, you know. But with that being said, it was not like people would voluntarily be bait, right? That's why I'm having all these problems. ”) 

 

 

(“So that's why you brought Alford troops, huh?”) 

 

(“Yes, that's the reason. And fortunately, the man said that he would gladly sacrifice his own life for something like that. And because I don't want to die, so everyone gets what they want. Well, if they ask for further explanation, I will explain everything honestly. But since we were originally enemies, I have no obligation to tell them everything. ”) 

 

 

"Some of his troops were disgusted, some laughed and some just ignored him when Yanagisawa said that with a wide smile. They had different reactions and opinions about it, but no one doubted his skills and abilities."

 

"One of his men then asked him."

 

(“But some Hunters were injured and even killed, right? If they find out that it was the Captain in charge all along, the Hunters who died will come back and haunt you, right? ”) 

 

"The man who asked Yanagisawa the question was originally a Hunter who was built into the team. His face looked resolute as he felt some sort of friendship with the other Hunters."

 

"Yanagisawa just brushed it off as she said."

 

(“The Hunters also earned a lot of money from that battle. I'm sure some of them got rich one way. But well, I do not deny that some of them were also killed in battle, but those people decided to become Hunters even after knowing all the dangers. Not to mention that the Hunters who had no luck or skill would eventually die sooner or later even though that battle did not happen. Working as Hunters meant they had to risk their lives for money. I didn't have time to listen to their complaints just because they lost the bet and died. ”) 

 

(“... Well, it is true that is what it means to be a Hunter. ”) 

 

(“City management wants to close the people in the central district, the defense forces want to see more action and have more meaning in its existence, Alford forces want fame, he said, The Corporate Government wanted to explore the deeper parts of the Kuzusuhara ruins, and eventually the Hunters searched for the rich and famous. Other than those who were killed, that battle was a good thing for everyone, wasn't it? ”) 

 

"Some of his men felt silly seeing how Yanagisawa bragged about herself."

 

(“But you did all the hard work there. So, what do you get out of it? What's your plan? Is there something you need to do in the deeper part of the wreckage? Since you called us, it's not like an ordinary search expedition, right? ”) 

 

"Yanagisawa deliberately laughed invincibly."

 

(“It's a secret . If I had to say it, it was to pave the way for the future of mankind. Don'worry. I won't do anything bad. We'll just look for the ruins, it'll give us quite a lot of money as well. After all, otherwise, we would not be able to pay back for all the equipment we borrowed. It's the latest equipment used in the Front Lines, you know? I even went to get that Ragnarok too. It was also loaded with an annihilator warhead. Of course, I'm not saying that you can be a trigger-happy with it, but it really kicks in, you know. Precisely because we were on this occasion I decided to get it. That's why I want you to understand that I'm serious here. ”) 

 

"Normal equipment for this army is quite advanced. But this time, they brought better equipment than usual. And it was Yanagisawa who prepared all the equipment."

 

"Yanagisawa was having a silly conversation with his men and he seemed to be in a very good mood. But once they reached a certain area, his mood suddenly turned serious when Yanagisawa said to his men."

 

(“Silly talk stops here, let's go. ”) 

 

"And with that, Yanagisawa's forces continued to encroach deeper into Kuzusuhara's ruins."
