Reawaken the World

People Connected to Old World Domains (Part 1)

"Akira went to Higaraka Residence Ruin using her bicycle to test the information gathering device she bought yesterday from Elena. The relics in the ruins were hidden among the rubble and the monsters roaming the area were relatively weak. It was the perfect place to get used to his new information-gathering device."

 

"This is the first time he has visited ruins other than the ruins of Kuzusuhara. Thus, Akira could not help but feel a little excited. He was looking forward to seeing the ruins with a different view of the scenery. But he was only half satisfied when he got there."

 

(“It ... Somehow different from the ruins of Kuzusuhara. ”) 

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

"About looking a bit disappointed as he walked through the ruins. While it is true that it has a different view compared to the destruction of Kuzusuhara, all the collapsed and abandoned buildings packed close to each other in the area remind him of the Slum city. As such, it was a huge disappointment for him as he was looking forward to a ruin filled with advanced technology."

 

"Alpha smiled at Akira and explained."

 

[Higaraka Residence's destruction comes from a different era than Kuzusuhara's destruction, you know. That's why it looks different.]

 

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

(“What do you mean?”) 

 

(“Just like people in the current era who are trying to rebuild their civilization using the technology they took from the relics of the old world, people in the past are also doing the same. So the people who built the ruins of Kuzusuhara and the people who built the ruins of the Higaraka residence came from 2 different eras. Even the city of Kugamayama where you live now may be called the ruins of Kugamayama and is considered an old world ruin 100 years from now. ”) 

 

(“...I saw . So it's like the civilization in the eastern district was annihilated not just once but many times, huh? ”) 

 

[Yes, that's right. Therefore do not expect to find the same relics you found in the ruins of Kuzusuhara here. But since our main purpose here is not to collect relics, let's calm down for today. I'll customize the information gathering device, so you can get around the area randomly.]

 

"About then he pointed his finger at a small, binocular-like shield he was using."

 

(“Do I really just need to wear this?”) 

 

"The visor was part of the information gathering device he bought from Elena, basically it was some kind of information display device. The protective part is made of clear and transparent material so as not to diminish Akira's ability to see. Akira could also lift it if it blocked his view. Maybe because Elena was relatively small at first, making her a good fit for Akira."

 

[You can take it off if it bothers you. After all, I can only display my scan results from the immediate area to your vision even without that protector. But you can also keep using it to avoid people being suspicious about where you are getting information from. Even if you remove it, you can say that you are using the contact lens type information display.]

 

(“Well, it doesn't really bother me, so I'll just carry on. Not to mention I don't want to deal with all the suspicions, so I think I should get used to it. All right, let's go. ”) 

 

"About stopping his bike in the shadow of an abandoned building on the outskirts of the wreckage and putting a camouflage sheet on his bike. He then started walking deeper into the ruins."

 

"It will also double as a ruins exploration training for Akira, so he carefully stepped into the ruins and explored around the area. While at the same time, he would also search for relics in abandoned houses as part of his heritage hunting training. As he explored a random house, he found equipment and other small items. Although this is still a relic of the old world, the technology of today is able to produce their substitutes, which is why this is considered a cheap relic. This was not a relic that Hunters would risk their lives by bringing them back to the city. Akira hesitates for a while before finally returning them from where he found them."

 

"When Akira saw the outer and inner appearance of the ruins, he muttered."

 

(“These buildings are quite sturdy, I wonder if there are people living here in secret. ”) 

 

[As long as they can get enough food, water, and ward off monsters, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who want to stay here.]

 

(“... So the slum city is still better, yes?”) 

 

[There might be people who could find solutions to food and monster problems and could not stay in the slums for some reason. So they might decide to stay here, you know. There may be traps left behind by those people, so you have to be careful.]

 

"As Akira moved deeper into the ruins, he found the dead bodies of greedy crocodiles lying on the ground. It was quite large, even bigger than the monster that Akira kicked and killed the other day. It was obvious how terrifying it would be if it was alive. Akira would have approached him carefully had his head not been half-broken."

 

"Seeing the greedy crocodile at close range, Akira let out his honest opinion."

 

(“This is a big monster. ”) 

 

[It's a greedy crocodile. These types of monsters evolved by eating other mechanical or biological monsters and turning the metals they ate into their scales. They'll even process the weapons and other weapons they eat inside their bodies and make them grow on their bodies for their own use, you know. There have been many cases where the voracious crocodile has evolved its body so much that one would think of it as a mechanical monster, but this monster is actually a biological monster.]

 

(“So like those gun dogs, huh? But this one doesn't have a weapon on its body. ”) 

 

[It was a type of monster that varied greatly individually. I think this one hasn't eaten a lot of monsters with guns. Or the Hunter who defeated this monster might have cut off his weapon and brought it home. After all, many of the weapons that grew from this kind of monster were good weapons, so there was a chance that the person who killed this monster actually targeted his weapon from the start. That was also the reason why only his head was badly damaged, perhaps to ensure that his weapon was still intact after killing him.]

 

(“So, I wonder if I can kill him too. ”) 

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

[Because I'm with you, I'm sure you can do it. But it's a different story whether you can bring home his gun or not. After all, it is not possible to do it by bicycle, unless you plan to bring it yourself back to town.]

 

(“No, thank you . So it's not possible until I buy or borrow a vehicle, yes. ”) 

 

"About then left the area and continued his exploration. In the middle of exploring the ruins, he thought of something and asked Alpha."

 

(“Alpha, it seems like you are very knowledgeable about monsters. I wonder if you know the origin of this monster. ”) 

 

[Only part of it. And I only know that as secondhand knowledge. It's not that I've investigated it myself and there are a lot of guesses embedded in it. But the source of my information is confidential, okay? It would be too hard to explain, so don't ask about it. But of course, I wouldn't mind telling you if you're ready to hear 100 years of oral explanations with a lot of permission and confirmation.]

 

"Alpha smiled invincibly at Akira while she only smiled bitterly."

 

(“I won't ask where you got that information from. So, why would a monster like a voracious crocodile exist? ”) 

 

[Initially they were probably test specimens that escaped from some experiments. I'm sure they're planning on making some kind of cyborg for military use. Or maybe from an experiment where they tried to create a machine that had the same regeneration ability as a biological being. Or adding an organ that allows it to regrow parts of its own body so they don't need to perform maintenance and then plan to install that organ in humans. I think they're trying to make nanomachines possible. It makes sense that such studies are tested on animals such as dogs or crocodiles first before testing them on humans. It is also possible that a war broke out, and this test subject managed to escape from the lab. This could happen when they have just completed the nano and will test it in humans. But of course, there was a possibility of someone releasing it into the wild as a joke.]

 

"About imagining things as his face frowned."

 

(“... Whatever it is, it gives us a lot of problems. What do people in the old world think? ”) 

 

[Compared to the technology of the current era, the technology of the old world is abnormally advanced. Since they have the means to do many things, it makes them want to try everything. I believe that some humans remain the same whether it is for the people of today or the people of the old world. And if they make a mistake because of their curiosity, their current civilization will perish and become part of the old world civilization.]

 

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

(“So, you mean someone might make a big mistake and destroy an entire civilization tomorrow?”) 

 

[Yes]

 

(“... I at least want the current civilization not to perish before I die. ”) 

 

 

"As Akira continued his exploration, he found a large house that looked very different from the other abandoned buildings around it. Although, like other buildings, the building was abandoned and deteriorated over the years, it gave the impression that someone rich had lived in the house in the past."

 

"About thinking that he might be able to find some expensive relics in it when he walked in and searched the building."

 

"But his hope soon fell. Although there were many rooms within the mansion, all of them were more or less empty. Most of the other Hunters were also of the same mind and had fought each other for the relics inside this building, that was why there was nothing left. They even took away all the relics that they would normally ignore. The house had nothing but dust and dirt."

 

"About being able to give up just like that as he continued searching for the mansion. But he found nothing. Thus he started getting sloppier and sloppier every time he checked the room. Then, just when Akira was almost bored checking the empty rooms, Alpha suddenly called out to him."

 

(“Akira, wait, go to that room. ”) 

 

"About then enters the room designated by Alpha. Since Alpha even told him to go inside the room, he thought there must be something there. But he would definitely be disappointed once he scanned the room, it was indeed empty."

 

(“Is there anything in this room? I can't find anything. ”) 

 

[It has a secret door. I believe that the door leads to a secret room in the basement.]

 

"About then look at the floor. Every hole in the floor was already filled and covered with dust and dirt. But suddenly he saw a green frame on the floor, with vision support provided by Alpha."

 

"About walking into that frame and crouching down to look at it up close. There are grooves on the floor that are not completely covered in dust. He then slipped his finger into the groove and moved the tile. He could see a knob hidden under that tile."

 

(“What is this? How did you find it?”) 

 

[I have just used my high calculation capabilities to analyze image data from an information gathering device. Am I not awesome?]

 

(Alpha smiled after she said something that sounded like ‹you can go ahead and praise me now.›) 

"Ts: This code→ (‹...... ›) sign to indicate message bubble or author explanation."

(“It was amazing.”) 

 

[. Oh my goodness, that's easy enough for you.]

 

(“Eh? But like, that's amazing, isn't it? ”) 

 

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

[Yes, I am amazing. Glad you found my support amazing.]

 

"Alpha looked somewhat surprised as Akira praised her straightforwardly, but she quickly returned to her usual smile."

 

"He thought Akira would ignore him as usual, that's why it was a bit surprising to him. The different results of his predictions show that he does not pay enough attention to Akira and he still does not fully understand this person named Akira."

 

"Alpha concluded that she needed to observe him more to make more accurate predictions about his behavior. But when he thought about it, he did not show it on his smiling face like he usually does."

 

"About grabbing the secret knob, pulled it and entered the basement. No sunlight could reach the basement, making it completely pitch-black. The dim light entering the room from the open door was also not of much use."

 

"About thinking it was a secret room, he could expect to find some unclaimed expensive relics and use a portable flashlight to inspect the room."

 

"As the light filled the place, Akira could see 4 concrete walls surrounding it. The room was empty, there was nothing but dust-covered floors, walls, and ceilings, there wasn't even a lot of dust here."

 

"About turning to Alpha with a dumbfounded face, looking at the one he smiled at to comfort him."

 

[Yes, there is nothing here, someone must have found and vacated this place before us.

 

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

"About actually didn't plan to blame Alpha at all, so she felt a little regretful when she awkwardly tried to make excuses to him. So, he casually replied with a little joke."

 

(“... Ah no, I just want to know if there is another secret door. ”) 

 

[According to my search, I found nothing. But, do you want to try looking around again? If you can find another secret door that I did not detect, then it means the information collection device is wrong. Try to check the walls and floor as closely as possible.]

 

"Since Alpha's answer sounded hopeful, Akira decided to check the room once again. He examined the walls and floor so closely that his nose almost touched them. He's looking for grooves like before. But in the end he couldn't find anything."

 

(“... No, no. Alpha, did you find anything? ”) 

 

[Unfortunately, I found nothing either.]

 

(“. ”) 

 

"About then turned off the light and was about to climb the stairs when he suddenly stopped. He then extended his hand outside and closed the trap door. Since the only light source in the room was gone, the entire room went into complete darkness."

 

"About then scanned the entire room, but he couldn't see anything."

 

(“It didn't work, yeah. I think if there's a groove, there has to be a little bit of light coming out of that groove. But now that I think about it again, we're underground now, so I guess that's presumed, yeah. ”) 

('Very'. Blanketed: Our boy Akira has started to grow up. Produce something like this and not just rely on Alpha for everything.)

 

"It looks like it has given up this time and will be back outside. But just as he was about to leave, Alpha suddenly called out to him with a smile."

 

[It worked, I found something. Although, it may be a little different than what you expect.]

 

"Even in that completely dark room, Akira could see Alpha clearly. After all, he was actually some sort of image data that was displayed directly to Akira's vision, so that his image was not affected by the brightness in that place. In the next moment, a room that had nothing but Alpha and darkness was projected as a black and white image into Akira's vision."

 

[I've expanded your vision, this is an image created from data collected through information collection devices. Even though it doesn't have color, it's enough, right?]

 

"In his vision, Akira could clearly see the color-filled Alpha within that black and white world. It was strange for him to see how only a small part of his gaze was tinged."
