"After circling around, he tried to conclude. It was still unclear if he was a strong or weak Hunter. Although so many things about her made no sense at all, one thing for sure was that she was not someone who would retreat when threatened. Something unexpected or even unwanted might happen if she fought beside Reina, so she thought she had to be careful not to do something careless."
('It was a big mistake that I subconsciously looked down on him and threatened him to think that he would back down. I bet it would be so wrong if Milady didn't stop me, I should have been more careful.')
"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."
"Shiori reevaluates her loyalty and reflects on how she should act, while on the other hand, she also becomes more cautious towards Akira."
"Reina was very sad, but as time passed and with Shiori trying to comfort her, she started to calm down. He was at a low risk of being ambushed, there were 2 good Hunters with him, the surrounding area was very quiet, and there was some lighting installed in the area, there were, it was the perfect place to calm himself. The looseness created after he calmed down made him think back."
('.. I can't answer there whether I thought about the consequences properly before fighting or whether I chose a fight knowing that it would turn into a war ..')
"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."
"He had just seen one of the possible consequences some time ago when Shiori and Akira were so close in trying to kill each other. If Mimata's group doesn't laugh at him when he fights them, something similar or maybe worse will happen."
('He wouldn't want to hire someone who chooses unnecessary fights even if it's free, yeah .. Well, that's to be expected.')
"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."
"Reina calmly looked back at what she had done until now. This was not the first time he had fought against someone else. There must have been so many instances in the past where he crossed through a dangerous bridge, he might have stepped far through a landmine without even realizing it."
"Nothing went wrong until now, but not everything went well. There were cases where he mistakenly crossed the line when he fought with others only to impose his opinion on that person and step on each other's feet, even though no one wants that to happen."
"Reina thought that Shiori must have done all the work to ensure that she had not stepped on a landmine wrong. But today, Shiori herself nearly stepped on one. Although they could barely avoid it, Reina imagined what would happen if Shiori were to actually step on that landmine. Just thinking about the possibility made her sad again."
"Shiori noticed Reina's expression and gently said to her."
(“... Mistress, please don't bother your mind too much. It's important to let it keep going. Besides, it was because I made the mistake of provoking Akira-sama. Let's use the experience we have today to be more careful next time. ”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
"Reina thought that Shiori provoked Akira because she was angry at Reina's place, she felt grateful and apologized for that."
(“... Now that I think about it, I haven't properly thanked you lately. Sorry I always get you in trouble and thank you so much for always helping me. I'm sure I'll give you more problems in the future, so, it's okay if I keep relying on you?”)
(“... T-of course! Just leave it to me! ”)
"Shiori was deeply touched and shocked when Reina said that, but she quickly pulled herself along with determination and was somehow able to hold back her tears. He understood very well that he was in the middle of a battlefield, and there was no way he could perform well in battle if he did not unite himself."
(“Thank you, Shiori. I'll be in your care. ”)
"Looking at the comforted Reina, Shiori tried her best to make a smile for Reina to feel at ease."
"About looking around with information gathering tools. While doing that, he also noticed Reina and Shiori who were behind him. He knew that he had a big fight with them not too long ago, so he noticed them if they suddenly shot him from behind."
(“...What do they do?”)
"When Akira muttered the question with a puzzled face, Alpha simply smiled and replied."
[I think they're deepening their friendship.]
"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."
(“I didn't ask about it .. Well, never mind ..”)
"About quickly losing interest in what's going on behind him, thinking that it doesn't matter what they do as long as it won't cause him any trouble."
"Alpha kept her smile as usual while watching Akira closely. He was always observing, watching, and trying to understand the main principles behind his actions."
"The ideal beautiful body produced by the calculations in advance gives a perfectly calculated smile, but the smile does not reflect the meaning behind it."
"The large hole seemed very quiet from the outside, but Akira, who kept staring at it, suddenly looked grim. He quickly stood up and grabbed the backpack beside him, spreading the ammunition that was inside onto the ground. He then aimed the CWH anti-material rifle at the hole."
"Reina and Shiori who noticed that quickly placed their guards and drew closer to Akira. They then glanced towards the hole hoping to find some monsters, but they were unable to see the monsters."
"Reina was confused as she checked her information gathering device and found no signal indicating the presence of monsters either. So she turned to Akira and asked him."
(“.... Did your device find anything?”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
(“I'll take care of this side, you guys keep the other side. ”)
"About finishing his preparations for the shoot, he had already prepared his finger on the trigger."
[Alpha, how many?]
[I found 124 signals in my scan range and I'm still counting. The herd that attacked defense point number 15 might just be a scout.]
(“... Ughh, well, what can I say ... I've always been involved in this kind of situation. ”)
[Well, I guess this is what to expect for your level of luck. As always, so let's calm down and deal with it as usual.]
"I'm smiling bitterly."
(“You are correct . In that case, I will rely on your support to win against my bad luck today. Since I spent the entire fortune of a lifetime meeting you, I hope to get good support from it, okay? ”)
[Send it to me.]
"Alpha stood beside Akira and smiled confidently."
"Rather than paying attention to her surroundings, Shiori paid more attention to Akira aiming into the hole as if she had a clear target. He prepared his rifle, filled it with a flare bullet that could be used to increase the accuracy of information-gathering devices, and aimed his rifle into the hole. He then shot several flares at equal intervals between each shot into the hole. The flares shone brightly, scattered from the darkness that filled the hole and revealed a man-made ground tunnel and floor beneath. But there was no sign of the enemy at all. Even after he double-checked his information gathering device, he was still unable to find any enemy signals."
(“... Akira-sama, you may have mistaken. ”)
"About ignoring Shiori's question. Shiori and Reina began to grow increasingly suspicious of him."
"But suddenly, darkness crept in again into the burning hole, making it impossible to see anything in it. The most distant flare suddenly dimmed and stopped shining. The flares were made so that they would at least keep shining for about 15 minutes, so it was obviously too fast for the flares to die off naturally. Reina and Shiori also noticed the anomaly, but then, the beacons inside the hole suddenly died one after another until the hole was filled with complete darkness again."
"Looking at what happened, Reina and Shiori quickly prepared themselves for a fight. A voice echoed from within the hole as if many large living beings were approaching it. The sound gets louder. Many large objects were blocking the light that charged towards Akira. They don't even need to check their information-gathering devices to find out what it is."
"Alpha took out a smile as she counted down."
[They came .. 5.. 4 .. 3.. 2 .. 1.]
"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."
"At the same time, all the light from the rest of the flare suddenly went out."
[Zero.]
"About pulling the trigger of his CWH anti-material rifle. Lightning flashed from his rifle, the light from the lightning momentarily illuminating and revealing what was inside the hole. Akira and the others saw a flock of Yarata scorpions coming out of the hole."
"The bullet flew out of the Akira rifle and crashed into the scorpion leading the crowd, it smashed the scorpion to pieces thanks to the incredible destructive power of the bullet. It even pierced through the scorpion and turned other scorpions nearby into minced meat. Akira was able to destroy dozens of scorpions with just one shot."
"That's because Akira uses ammunition specifically designed for the CWH anti-material rifle. Usually, people would not use such bullets to hunt Yarata scorpions because they were too strong and too expensive for it. But Akira had no qualms about using this ammunition. Of course, it was also because the applicant paid for the ammunition, but more than that, he was not in a situation where he could hesitate to use the bullet."
(“Whoah, awesome !! As expected of the designated ammunition! No wonder it is so expensive !! ”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
[It's also good because it has a long effective range. Let's beat as many scorpions as we can before they can get close.]
(“Accepted.”)
"Akira's body shifts backwards every time she pulls the trigger. The payoff of the designated ammunition is actually relatively small given its firepower, it is thanks to its intricate design made using advanced technology. But even so, it had enough bribes to blow one's body back into the wall. Akira can only maintain his shooting stance thanks to an enlarged suit and Alpha support."
"All of the scorpions that were smashed to pieces by the shot looked like sheets of paper strewn with wind. Akira was amazed by the scene, but he didn't think in the least because of his skill as he continued shooting while making a grim face."
"The Yarata scorpions simply ignored the pieces of their dead brother that rained down on them as they continued walking towards Akira. They stepped on the dead bodies of their dead friends, and the same thing happened to the scorpions who were severely injured and unable to move. There's no sign that they're slowing down at all."
(“... But still, it doesn't seem like they're retreating at all, aren't they feeling scared or what? They're biological monsters, aren't they? ”)
[Maybe not.]
(“But the scorpion that attacked the defense point 15 pulled away, right?”)
[That ..Maybe they came back to report the location of their enemy and shot across the herd. I don't think they're pulling out of fear. They may be just scouts.]
(“.... And so this is the main horde?”)
[The probability is not zero.]
(“If it really is the main horde, there must be a limit to how bad my luck is, you know !!”)
[Stop that silly talk and get back to shooting, more of them are coming.]
(“Damn !!!”)
"About continuing to shoot the scorpion desperately. Thanks to his high ground and specially designed ammunition, he unilaterally placed the trash on the scorpion that gushed out of the hole. When he ran out of ammunition and refilled the magazines, the horde would quickly close their distance, so he would immediately start shooting again in panic and push them back until he ran out of ammunition again. This cycle continued as he held his herd alone."
"Reina and Shiori prepared their weapons and watched another corner as Akira said, they were prepared if they were ambushed by more monsters from the passageway. Of course, they would jump in to help if Akira asked for their help. But he didn't ask for any help. Even though he looked a bit desperate, he was able to hold the scorpion up well by himself."
"Reina and Shiori were surprised by Akira desperately holding the scorpion by herself. This scene was proof that his skills and battle records were genuine."
