Yarata Scorpion (Part 2)

(“It's hard. The output went crazy every time I made the slightest change from Elena-san's settings. Maybe I should stick with Elena-san's arrangement. ”) 

 

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

[Elena's setting is basically the ideal setting. If you change it randomly, the accuracy of the information collection device will greatly decrease. But you have to play with its settings to understand the parameters of the setting and familiarize yourself with it.]

 

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

(“Now I think about it. You also use this information gathering device to detect monsters, right? If I play with the settings, won't it interfere with your detection ability? Is it really okay?”) 

 

[No problem . I immediately used the raw data from the information-gathering device and analyzed it myself. The data you see is currently produced by the software inside that information-gathering device and has nothing to do with my detection capabilities. So no need to worry, you can play with it.]

 

(“I saw . Then I'll keep fiddling with him. ”) 

 

"About looking at the scan results through the view of the type of visor. There is a separate area in the upper right visor that shows a focused scan around Akira. Although there was a Hunter walking in front of him, the signal coming from the Hunter was rather strange and unclear. That's because the settings on the information-gathering device are wrong."

 

"Search results will vary greatly each time Akira changes the individual settings of his information gathering device. If he or she can optimize the settings to focus only on important information, information-gathering devices can be used effectively in a variety of situations. By adjusting the value in the settings, it can focus on an obscure signal, which simply indicates that something is detected, and get a better set of information that will allow it to extract the shape, size, and other information."

 

"Alpha then explains to Akira the basics of adjustment settings."

 

[Usually, you just need to expand and contract the search area. And when you find a signal, you will focus on where the signal is coming from and try to analyze it. It is important to set the interval between remote and close scanning, the ratio of power output between images, sound and motion processors, and the type of analysis you will use for each data. For example, when you are in a place with many constraints, it is better to reduce the power output of image analysis and increase the scanning range. If you can see your target, it may be better to focus the image sensor to only detect the image from behind you. There are basically a lot of things you can do with it.]

 

(“Yes, it's not easy. ”) 

 

"About listening to Alpha when he has trouble adjusting the settings of the information gathering device. Not too long after, Alpha suddenly said to him in a serious tone."

 

[Accordingly, you should leave and leave those Hunters or have them start running to the temporary headquarters as quickly as possible. A swarm of Yarata scorpions is approaching us.]

 

 

"About immediately yelling at the Hunters in front of him."

 

(“Hei!! Run to the temporary headquarters as quickly as possible !! A swarm of monsters from before will come here !! ”) 

 

"The Hunters were shocked as they turned towards Akira. Akira made a grim face while continuing."

 

(“I'll try to slow it down !! So run as fast as you can !! ”) 

 

"The Hunters looked around but they could not see the Yarata Scorpion. One of them asked Akira in a panic."

 

(“You sure ?! Where's them?! I don't see them at all, you know ?! ”) 

 

"About beginning to get upset because the Hunters won't start running."

 

(“Go now !! If you keep standing here, I'm not going to help you, OK ?! I'm just gonna go ride a bike, you know !! ”) 

 

"The Hunters started running in panic. Akira then looked around, but he could not find the scorpion."

 

(“Alpha, where is the horde? I can't see them and I don't get a signal from an information gathering device, you know? ”) 

 

[I guess, I'll improve your vision now, so stay calm, okay?]

 

"After giving Akira a warning, Alpha improves his vision. Therefore, Akira could see the Yarata scorpion around him. His face turned grim as he looked at the scorpion."

 

"The other "hunters ran desperately towards the temporary headquarters. They ran on the open ground with small ruins to nothing, so they could run quickly, but on the other hand, there was not much cover if they were attacked. In short, they had no chance of winning if a flock of Yarata scorpions attacked them here. The Hunters understood this fact, and that was why they ran desperately."

 

"The hunter running in front suddenly stopped, so all the Hunters behind him immediately stopped as well."

 

(“What's wrong...?!”) 

 

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

"The hunter who stopped because the one in front of him stopped doesn't even need to wait for an answer to understand the reason."

 

"There was some debris strewn not too far ahead of them. Although they looked like normal debris, they were actually Yarata scorpions waiting for their prey to approach. The Yarata scorpion anticipated the movements of the Hunters and had already prepared an attack here."

 

"The Hunters took their weapons in panic, but even before they were able to do so, a scorpion quickly jumped into action and ran towards the Hunters."

 

 

"But at the next moment, the sound of gunfire echoed and the monster was sent flying. The Hunters immediately turned to where the shot came from, Akira pointed his CWH anti-material rifle at the monster while still on his bike."

 

(“Don't stop !! Run!!!”) 

 

"The Hunters immediately started running again, passing by the dead Yarata scorpion that Akira had just shot."

 

"About can see the scorpion with the help of Alpha support because all the scorpions around it are red. Some of them disguised themselves as rubble, some of them hid behind rubble and some of them were still on their way from afar. He can clearly see their position and form thanks to Alpha's support."

 

"There was roughly no signal from his information-gathering device indicating the presence of the Yarata scorpion in the vicinity. Or at least, Akira couldn't recognize if there was such a signal."

 

"Thus Akira looked puzzled as if Alpha was summoning those monsters out of thin air."

 

 

(“There are so many of them around, but why does my information gathering device not take anything?”) 

 

[The sensor installed in the information-gathering device did indeed receive a signal from the Yarata scorpion. But even if it can receive those signals, it is a completely different story whether it can recognize it as a Yarata scorpion or not. Just like you, you can see all the pebbles scattered around you but it's not like you always realize that the pebbles are there, is it? It is not easy to separate large amounts of information. It will only drive you crazy. And if you take it seriously, you won't be able to distinguish noise from useful information. It's pointless if you try to compare my powerful information-gathering capabilities and superior information-analysis capabilities with the results of those information-gathering devices, you know. But if I have to say something about that, you should be able to see the scorpion if you maintain Elena's settings.]

 

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

(“So in short, since I changed the settings, I messed up the settings that Elena-san left behind and so it didn't work properly, huh?”) 

 

[If I had to be honest, then yes, that would be true. But if I have to say anything else, it means that you have to thank Elena-san's arrangement.]

 

(“So, there's basically no point in having a good tool if I can't use it, huh? This shooting skill is basically because of your support as well. I'm really wondering now if I'm really getting stronger or if it's all because of your support all along. ”) 

 

"When Akira expresses his own weakness and berates himself, Alpha smiles and tries to comfort him."

 

[If you have something to complain about in your own strength, then you have to work hard to train yourself from now on. But at least I can guarantee you that you are now stronger than before you started training.]

 

(“You are correct . I'll definitely do it. ”) 

 

"About continuing to aim and shoot the Yarata scorpion while smiling bitterly."

 

"It's roughly possible not to realize it himself, but his skills were actually increasing at an incredible speed. It's all thanks to Alpha's super effective training. That was the reason why, even though he had bad luck, he was able to survive after he met 2 herds of monsters on the same day."

 

"But Akira looked down on his own skills. It was because he understood that compared to Alpha's support, his skill was basically not even worth mentioning. That fact had caused him to develop a biased evaluation of himself."

 

"People who have absolute confidence in their own skills are usually indeed skilled people. Instead, Akira's low self-confidence makes him look weaker than he really is."

 

"Therefore, there are children who look like completely different people when they are at war. People used to think of them as pebbles and step on them, only to find out that they were actually closer to landmines."

 

"About shooting Yarata scorpions one by one. The piercing ammunition he used, penetrated the powerful outer skeleton and destroyed their nervous system. It then kills them on the spot or at least leaves them paralyzed. But there are still many Yarata scorpions there. Akira thinks that there is no end to them when he shifts his goal to the next target. But Alpha suddenly said to him."

 

[About, that's your last bullet.]

 

(“.... You mean I've run out of piercing ammo ?!”) 

 

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

 

"About quickly turning into an AAH assault rifle while making a grim face. He knew that his rifle was only filled with normal ammunition, so it would be difficult to kill the Yarata scorpion using this ammunition."

 

"Suddenly he heard the screams of the Hunters. When he quickly glanced towards that shout, he saw the Yarata scorpion standing in front of the Hunters."

 

(“Hold!”) 

 

"When Alpha says that, he controls Akira's augmented suit and moves his body to grab the bike. At the same time, his bike suddenly accelerated, flashed beside the Hunter in front of him, and headed straight for the Yarata scorpion."

 

"About trying to follow the added movements of his suit. When Alpha gave him the signal, he quickly leaned his body to the side to make his bike slide over his wheel. He used one of his legs to prevent it from falling, as he slid on his bike and slammed his wheels into the Yarata scorpion. Alpha accelerates the bike when the wheel hits the scorpion and sends the scorpion flying into the air."

 

"One of the scorpions sent flying smashed into the rubble not far from Akira. Although it did not kill him, it was enough to stop him from moving for a while. While the other scorpions were sent flying upwards. Akira got off his bike and kicked the scorpion as it fell back to the ground with its enhanced additional strength. The scorpion was thrown aside and bounced further as it landed on the ruins."

 

"Other hunters were astonished to see such a scene unfolding right before their eyes. Akira then yells at them."

 

(“Go!! Now!!”) 

 

"The Hunters regained their senses and started running again."

 

"More and more scorpions join the mob that is chasing Akira and the Hunters. When the other Hunters escape, Akira protects their backs as he carries two AAH rifles and showers the monsters with bullets. But as expected, a normal bullet couldn't do much damage to the scorpion's exoskeleton."

 

"Because of the accuracy support from Alpha, Akira was able to land several shots in the same place on the hard exoskeleton of the Yarata scorpion which eventually destroyed that exoskeleton and injured them, thus slowing the scorpion down. But even if he managed to kill a few of them, it was only enough to slow down the entire herd."

 

(“That thing is very hard !! And there is no end to them !! It's getting worse !! ”) 

 

 

"Different from Akira who started panicking, Alpha was still calm. But even so, he suddenly made a decision that suited the situation."

 

[It may be a good idea to consider leaving the other Hunters behind and heading immediately for a temporary base.]

 

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

(“T-it's a little .. You know .. Can we request a rescue from the headquarters instead?”) 

 

[The hunters did it while running, you know. And it seems like the answer is not positive at all.]

 

(“... I will try to hold on until the last moment. ”) 

 

"Because he had worked so hard to help them, Akira wanted to save these Hunters. But he had no plans to die with them. It was his mind as he continued shooting scorpions while making a grim face."

 

"The situation worsens as the Hunters begin to reach their physical limits. The Hunters pushed themselves to keep running even though they were already out of breath. While on the other hand, scorpions show no signs of fatigue as they continue to approach. It's only a matter of time before the scorpion reaches them."

 

(“This is not good at all. ”) 

 

[Tell the Hunters to take shelter in a building near them and wait for rescue from the headquarters. If we're lucky, we might be able to survive this herd.]

 

(“There's no other way, huh? Do you have any recommendations on which building to choose? ”) 

 

[Let's see, how about that .. Oh, no need to do that anymore. ]

 

"When Alpha was about to point at a building near them, he suddenly turned around and pointed towards the temporary headquarters. When Akira turned in that direction, he could see several armed vehicles heading towards him."

 

"About then move his bike to the side to make way for them. After the vehicle passed Akira, they scattered the scorpions away with their big guns. Explosive warheads rained down on the scorpion and quickly turned the entire herd into minced meat."

 

 

"The "armed vehicles then continued to exterminate the rest of the scorpions as they headed straight for the deeper parts of the destruction. One of the armed vehicles stopped beside Akira, a man then got out of there and said to Akira."

 

(“Are you number 14?”) 

 

(“Ya why...?”) 

 

(“I'm Captain of the Kugamayama defense squad. We are here at the request of HQ. Give me your rental terminal. ”) 

 

"About handing over the rental terminal to the man."

 

(“Good . With this, your work is over. You can go home now. ”) 

 

(“Wait a minute. What the hell is going on here?”) 

 

(“Destruction flooded with Yarata Scorpions. So we're here to eradicate the scorpion. There is a high probability that a large nest is around here and it seems that exploration around this area has awakened the nest. I heard that they are sweeping back the area around the construction site now. The headquarters tried to identify the location of the nest from the information terminal they lent to the Hunters, but it seems that many Hunters were killed, you know. So it seems like they are having a hard time determining the number and location of the hive due to a lack of information. They also told us to take the terminal from the dead Hunters as well. Ahh, however, do you want to help us collect the terminal? You came all the way here escorting those Hunters, so you're a pretty good Hunter, aren't you? ”) 

 

"I think shake his head and refuse."

 

(“No, thank you . I thought I came here with enough bullets but I'm dry now. I don't have enough resources at the moment. I'm not even sure they'll cover the ammo I spent, you know. ”) 

 

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

"The man laughed lightly at Akira's complaint."

 

(“It was too bad. You should at least make a contract to ensure that they will replace your ammunition next time. Later, Son. ”) 

 

"After he said that, the man left and joined the rest of the armed vehicles."

 

"About looking at the other Hunters. It appears they were talking to people from other armed vehicles. Akira can't hear what they're talking about, but Alpha can when he uses an information gathering device to analyze the faint sounds that reach it."

 

(“It appears they requested a ride to the temporary base but were refused. It has nothing to do with us, so let's go ahead and go back home. ”) 

 

(“Good.”) 

 

"About then ride a bike and drive past the other Hunters. Some of them tried to call out to him but he ignored them."

 

"Other armed vehicles continued deeper into the ruins after retrieving the rented terminal from the Hunters. The Hunters left behind could not help but grumble."

 

(“That boy and the defense forces won't even give us a lift ..”) 

 

(“Nobody helped him. Let's just go home now. Although the defense squad had paved its way to the temporary headquarters, it was not like it would remain safe forever, you know. ”) 

 

(“You are correct . Let's go .. But still, who is that boy? He's very strong. ”) 

 

(“No ideas . But what I do know is that he's strong enough to attack the herd alone. I heard that there was a strong boy in Drankam, that boy was probably him. I also heard that the boy from Drankam did well in that big battle not long ago. ”) 

 

(“Ahh, right, I heard it too. But I heard that he was just an above average boy but a little arrogant with some good equipment. I don't really remember what his name was, is it Ka .. Ka. Ka. Ka. Kazuya? ”) 

 

(“I don't care about that. Let's hurry and come back. ”) 

 

"The Hunters sounded very tired as they spoke. But even so, they managed to drag their feet back to the temporary base."
