Reawaken the World

Underground Exploration (Part 1)

"Team Elena continued deeper into the underground city with Akira leading in front."

 

"With Akira leading the team, they moved more or less at the same pace as when Shikarabe was leading. Moving at that speed was completely above Akira's ability, so he relied on Alpha to keep an eye on any monsters."

 

"Although Akira had limited visibility through the darkness thanks to his improved eyesight, it was not like he was using it to see monsters. It was an Alpha that used the information from that enhanced vision to detect monsters."

 

"From someone else's point of view, it seemed like Akira was moving forward without even checking his surroundings. The only reason why the other Hunters didn't say anything about it was because Elena also scanned the area and Akira was able to answer correctly when Shikarabe questioned her."

 

"And even if Akira missed something, the other Hunters thought that it would not lead to a fatal situation, which was why the other Hunters let him lead."

 

"Alpha suddenly said to Akira."

 

[Akira, there are 3 scorpions in front. Get them out before they notice you.]

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

 

"Akira's vision is enhanced by Alpha. Thanks to that, he could clearly see the scorpion in front amidst the total darkness. It also allowed him to see the debris and ruins that would block his shot."

 

"The distance from the scorpion is considered to be quite far away. Akira was not confident of being able to shoot accurately from such a distance, but he was sure it was not an issue with Alpha's support. Not to mention that Alpha had him shoot the scorpion from such a distance, he thought it must be the best option to do it from here."

 

(“Accepted.”) 

 

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

"About preparing his AAH rifle and aiming at the scorpion. He lined up the TPL added to his vision by Alpha to the head of one of the scorpions and calmly pulled the trigger."

 

"Thanks to Alpha's support, the sharp bullet that came out of his muzzle struck the scorpion right where Akira was aiming and blasted the scorpion's head to pieces."

 

"Other scorpions spring into action when their friend is killed in an instant. They start looking around for the enemy, but Akira quickly releases the next shot of a very sharp bullet towards them. The bullet penetrated the shell of the scorpion and slowed their movement."

 

"When the scorpion's movement was significantly reduced, Akira fired a final shot at them. The scorpion then fell down and twitched before it completely stopped moving."

 

"About lowering his rifle and sighing."

 

(“That did cripple them, so this is the power of high ammunition, huh? It's on a different level compared to a normal bullet. ”) 

 

"It was thought that he had to fight off a horde of Yarata Scorpions using only ordinary ammunition. Initially, he was a bit skeptical if he could fight Yarata Scorpions without the CWH anti-material rifle. But after seeing the penetrating ammunition force, he understood that it shouldn't be a problem."

 

"Alpha smiled at him and said."

 

[It appears that penetrating ammunition works well against scorpions. Let's continue to use it for now.]

 

(“I understand.”) 

 

"Looking at how Akira acted, Alpha thought that his concerns must have been addressed. That's a good thing because unnecessary nervousness will only lead to unnecessary fatigue."

 

"Sara mostly relied on Elena in terms of detecting monsters. After all, compared to the information gathering device she was using, Elena's information gathering device was much better. If Elena realized something, she would transmit that data to Sara, and then Sara would be able to accurately find the monsters around her."

 

"But Sara did not get any information about the scorpion Akira had just taken out, so she turned to Elena and asked her."

 

(“Elena, can you send data about the scorpion?”) 

 

(“Sure.”) 

 

"Elena then sent data about the area in front of them to Sara. The new data Sara received is displayed on her visor."

 

(“Thank you.. Yes, I saw it. 3 Yarata scorpions.They are dead. ”) 

 

"Sara looked at the dead scorpion and muttered her astonishment."

 

"Shikarabe used his own information gathering tool to ascertain the scorpion Akira had just released."

 

(“Is there a need to shoot them from such a distance? If it was me, I would have approached first.. ”) 

 

"Elena answered Shikarabe's question."

 

(“We are in a one-way aisle. There was debris and debris blocking our path. Those monsters are also basically blocking our way. You can either approach them using the wreckage to hide and take them out when the opportunity presents itself, or you can also lure them to get close before finally killing them. It is up to you which one you want to choose.”) 

 

(“It is true that everyone has a different sense of distance. It's not like he missed his shot, so I guess it's not a problem.”) 

 

"Shikarabe thought that Akira's actions did not cause avoidable fights, and it was true that they might have to fight those monsters later so it was a good idea to finish them off when they had the chance."

 

"Elena also agreed with Shikarabe's opinion. But there was one thing that bothered him, how Akira could see the scorpion."

 

"The information gathering device Akira used was originally a device he sold him. So he knew very well the ability of that information gathering tool."

 

"If Elena asked herself if she could do the same with that information gathering tool, she could answer that question immediately firmly no."

 

(“It should be very difficult to detect a scorpion from this distance using the device I sold him. The information gathering tool was not so powerful. It might be possible to do that on the surface, but in this dark underground city where the effectiveness of information gathering devices was greatly reduced, it should be almost impossible to do that. So how in the world.. ”) 

 

"Elena really guessed how Akira detected the scorpion."

 

(“There is a high chance that Akira can connect to the old world domain. That might be the reason why he could do this. It did interest me, but if it was true, then I couldn't carelessly ask him. ”) 

 

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

 

"In addition, if he really asked if he could connect to the old world domain, it might lead to a fight where they were forced to kill each other."

 

 

"If she can really connect to the old world domain, Akira may slowly but surely be aware of the fact that she and Sara suspect her. So, if she asked him to confirm her guess, it might cause their relationship to deteriorate immediately."

 

"Sara has no knowledge of information gathering devices compared to Elena, while Shikarabe believes that Akira definitely uses expensive information gathering devices. So Elena thought that there should be no problem if she didn't say anything as she closed her curiosity."

 

"They continue the exploration with Akira still positioned at the front."

 

"They met the monsters a few times, but Akira could handle them well. He could at least avoid the dead weight for the other Hunters. Due to the layout of the underground city and the amount of debris scattered in its hallways, they were forced to fight the monsters in close quarters for a few times, but again, they were forced to fight the monsters in close quarters, Akira was able to handle that fight without any problems."

 

"They dug deeper through the darkness of the underground city. Traces of advanced civilizations can be found around them along with dormant advanced technologies waiting to be reactivated. It secretly reveals the glory that once existed in the past because it is now warped in total darkness. Akira and the others use their lights to scan the area and catch a glimpse of the remnants from the glorious era of old world civilization, they could see the countless old world relics left there."

 

"About then found something that resembled the ruins of a shop. When he inspected the insides to search for monsters, he was stunned when he found a large number of relics."

 

(“Oh !! Find what !! There are many relics lying here !! ”) 

 

"You don't want Akira to imagine how much money he could get if he brought back all the relics. Seeing that, Sara smiled bitterly and warned Akira."

 

(“I can understand your feelings of wanting to bring him back, but remember that our contract says that all the relics we found during this request are fully owned by the city of Kugamayama. I understand how you feel, really, but you can't take it with you, okay? ”) 

 

"There was a trace of disappointment on Sara's face that said it would be great if they found the relic when it wasn't in the middle of this request. He withstood the evil whisper urging him to take the relic. He somehow ignored the whisper to stop Akira and himself from doing something stupid."

 

(“Do not ever think of carrying a small amount of relics or mixing them with ammunition thinking that they will not notice it. That's a bad idea, so don't, okay? ”) 

 

"When Sara said that to Akira, she was actually reminding herself."

 

"Elena join."

 

(“True, Akira. It's not like they're going to do a full-body search on you, but still, if you take some of them, it almost always has some kind of effect on your behavior. So, more or less guaranteed that they will realize it. And when they do, they will confiscate those relics from you and make you pay a large amount of fines that will ruin your life forever. So don't do that no matter what, okay? ”) 

 

"Elena sounds like she's warning a boy."

 

"About also didn't want to be a brat, so he answered obediently."

 

(“Good.”) 

 

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

"Judging from how Akira retaliated without a trace of displeasure or dissatisfaction, Elena and Sara believed that there was no need to worry about her."

 

"Shikarabe also joined in on their conversation."

 

(“I don't know exactly how much the relics of this area are worth, but I'm sure the city thinks that they are valuable enough to even make them spend a lot of money to build an outpost here, he said, clearing the rubble to make it a path, and paying many Hunters to exterminate the monsters. They gathered the relic to pay our reward. So if you have a complaint, you should direct it to yourself for accepting this request a certain number of gifts they give. Well, if you don't want to do that, you also have the opportunity to come here alone. I don't know if it's worth the cost or not, but if someone can do that, then that person must be a first-rate Hunter. ”) 

 

"It is roughly not necessary to take too much consideration to come to the conclusion that it is impossible for him to come all the way here alone."

 

(“That's impossible for me, that means these relics I haven't been able to get. ”) 

 

"Alpha smiled provocatively."

 

[You'll be able to do it someday. But don't worry, I'll give my full support, so it's not something too far in the future.]

 

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

(“Is that so? In that case, let's hold on to the request I'm taking now so I can still fulfill that future. I'll count on your support so I can hold on until that day comes. ”) 

 

[Send it to me!]

 

"As Akira listened to Alpha's reassuring answer, he put aside all his worries about the difficulties that lay ahead of him until that day came and focused on surviving today. After all, that day would not have come if he had died in the first place."

 

"Shikarabe saw a dusty relic that reminded him of something."

 

 

(“... Ahh, so. That might be true, I guess that's also an option, huh. ”) 

 

"Shikarabe was talking alone as if he had just discovered something, but he soon realized that the others were looking at him. Since it would be bad if they mistook him for thinking of a way to carry the relic, Shikarabe was a little confused as he explained."

 

 

(“... Ah, that's not what you think. It just reminded me of the news about a boy who swapped expensive relics at the Exchange Center not long ago. Therefore, there are rumors about an unexplored area on the outskirts of Kuzusuhara and many Hunters are out to search the area, remember? Hm? ”) 

 

"The other 3 Hunters made a strange face when Shikarabe said that, however, it reminded them of bad memories."

 

"Sara and Elena went to the ruins after hearing the rumors, were attacked by some thugs, and were almost killed. As for Akira, he followed in the last half of his search and was almost killed as well. This was the reason why the three of them made such a difficult face."

 

"Shikarabe looked at their faces and felt strange."
