"Dress, where do you think this is, in the ruins?"

"Really! It's not a lie! I'm not drunk! I'm not hallucinating! When I went to the ruins, I didn't even drink alcohol or medicine!"

Judging by Casimo's attitude, Hashim was not lying.

But what he couldn't see was also a fact, and Casimo looked surprised.

Then after thinking about it a little, it finally came to the point of logic.

"Hashem. Your eyes are indeed network-ready, right?"

"Ahh It's a transplant of a part of the bastard, and I'm proud of this one that cost a lot of money and makeovers.

Even though I've been proud of the web feature many times, he's still a pretty bad thing.

It's very convenient and high-performance, occasionally receiving information freely and freely, and displaying it in various ways. ''

"This is because we use non-original parts other than regular products.

It's probably because I bought something that was stripped from a guy who was fired at some archaeological site.

That guy is a reason to lash out, because of a sudden dysfunction or a strange field of vision. ”

"I'm sick of it. Renovation costs and the like are cheaper. Well, when looking for artifacts, it's convenient.

It's just that the control unit and the guy's head rotate together, because the function can't be converted well.

Adding controls is expensive, so put that idea behind you. Why do you suddenly ask that?"

Casimo's expression became serious.

"That woman is possible for the navigation function of the ruins.

I can't see that you look like a stereoscopic image, it should be the type of field of view additional display expansion.

Some of the functions of the ruins continue to work, perhaps sending some information.

So it's possible for your part to get strange information.

The so-called ghosts of the old world. ”

Surprised, Hashim carefully confirmed the figure of Alpha again.

“...... That's really only what you see? That woman's shadow is good.

There's nothing unnatural outside of that.

What is shown by the expansion of the field of vision is usually somewhat different from reality.

There are no shadows, or strange elongation directions, that break through the physical barriers, this unnatural.

That's not at all.

I only know that such an unnatural place places wear dresses.

...... No, that's great, as weird as it gets. ”

If Casimo didn't have a serious attitude, he would have taken that sentence as a joke and said it with a smile.

There is such a sense of reality in Alpha's posture.

Casimo continued with seriousness.

"If the woman is part of the navigational function of the ruins of Kuzla Street, it is represented in old-world technology.

It is depicted with high technology and does not make people feel that unnatural. ”

“...... Is that the ghost of the old world? The first time I saw it, it was amazing. ”

Hashim looked at Alpha with a smile.

It's a creepy feeling to have a woman who belongs only to you.

The partner believed this, and with the reason that he could accept it, it turned into a strong interest.

Cassimo continued, as if he wanted to seize the opportunity.

“...... So, there's a strange tale at the ruins of Kuzla Street, is it an invitation to your undead?"

"I know that story, too. He gave the hunters valuable artifacts and invited them to the depths of the ruins to kill them.

Many hunters were invited, and there were no guys who came back alive.

The dead hunter is looking for companions and invites a living hunter.

Recently, he invited men of all ages, which can turn into women, dogs, cats and many other things. ”

Quasimo nodded his head in agreement, then continued with a dominant expression and tone.

"Dying in ruins in search of relics is common in hunters' deaths.

The important thing is, why is there such a strange talk about people who don't come back alive?" ...... So, why?"

The answer is that some people don't follow

The guy who can't see is probably not a little bit of a thing.

The undead can see everyone, but not everyone can follow them.

It's a ghost story because some people can see it and some can't, and they can't see the details because of their differences with each other. ”

Excited and a little timid at the same time.

Because by chasing Akira, they are chasing the undead.

"So, if we follow that woman, will we die too?"

At this point, Cassimo smiled meaningfully.

“...... This is also conceivable.

Why did that kid look for a relic of money? Because she looked like a woman.

The woman was part of the old world's city management function, and now also functions to a certain extent, and is giving instructions to those who can see him.

The child asks a woman where the possible relics are.

Then, with the help of the female guide, she was able to safely find the place where the ruins were.

How's that?

"Really...... No, but if you can not die under the guidance of a woman, it won't become that kind of weird talk, right?"

"With a woman in the company, the chances of finding a monster are low, so you will find it in advance when he finds you.

Plus, the woman knew, and the hunter who knew the woman's guide couldn't find anyone else's relics.

Thereafter, if you collect artifacts repeatedly in the same way, the artifacts near the perimeter of the site will disappear and you will be directed to the back of the site.

Therefore, I was unfortunate enough to encounter a powerful monster in the back, and if I was unlucky, I would still die in the end.

If you follow it, you will die, and only the result of gossip will remain, and it will become a strange talk over time. ”

Hearing Casimo's explanation, Hashim smiled happily.

"That's right! In that case, there's no problem with following along! That little ghost also came back alive, as long as you pay attention, you won't die!"

"There is no guarantee that it is right. But if it's right, you'll find an effective way to find relics. However, this is a rumor of a dead man, and it is dangerous. ”

Although Cassimo wanted to calm Hashem, Hashem couldn't contain his excitement.

Ruins are safe and expensive artifacts.

Both methods are readily available.

There is no hunter who cannot understand its value.

"No problem, right? I'm so worried! I can't miss this opportunity!"

"Well, let's see the situation again. ”

Cassimo looked at Hashim with calm eyes, thinking calmly.

(...... In order to monopolize that means, they kill each other in the ranks.

The guys who survived blamed the undead for the death of their companions.

The ones who can see the undead, of course.

This possibility is also very high.

Alas, this idiot, it's okay to find a suitable reason for him to walk in front of me......)

Resimo reminds Hashem not to let him perceive his thoughts as he resumes spying on Akira.

Akira asked Alpha with a grim expression.

"Do you know who is keeping an eye on my tracks?"

"There were two men. Judging by the equipment, it is a hunter. Well armed. ”

“...... Is there a misunderstanding, is there such a possibility?

I didn't deliberately pay attention to the traces I left behind, but I looked at it a little carelessly because I saw the child in the ruins, and I just occasionally moved in the same direction......"

'No. I've been watching their movements, considering the possibility of such a thing, but I'm absolutely sure they're following Akira.

We deliberately took a short break, stopped and sat down, but continued at a distance.

It's very clear that Akira is following.

Akira's face was rather ugly, but she continued to talk about the remaining observations of hope.

“...... Why do you want to leave such traces of me? Even if you plan to attack me, you will understand if you see that I have no money, right?"

This question, this question indicates that you want it to be different

Knowing this, Alpha asked Akira to face reality.

'They probably already knew that Akira somehow brought the artifact to the store.

The reason for following Akira is for you to be guided to places where there may be monuments, and then kill and take the monuments with you.

Perhaps the purchasing office is monitoring an expensive relic brought in by a hunter who is easy to simply kill.

Or maybe he bought information about his prey from someone in the store.

There are many reasons to be an enemy.

At least more important than why you're not an enemy.

Akira, if you don't deal with it as an enemy, you'll die, right?"

Akira gradually removed the optimistic gaze from her head, sighed, and her expression became more serious.

“...... Damn, is it a hunter this time!"

The other day the attack was aimed at children from the slums who were armed only with pistols, but they almost died.

This time, they're up against heavily armed hunters.

The sudden spike in difficulty gave Akira a headache.

"Akira. Go to that building first. Try to keep it natural. Be careful not to look at the other side. ”

“...... I know. ”

Akira watched cautiously as instructed, but despite this, she hung her head and walked into the abandoned building with heavy steps.

Led by Alpha, after arriving at a room in the building, he sat down with his back against the wall.

"There are no monsters in this building, rest assured. ”

"Ah......h

Akira's answer was heavy.

I thought a lot about how to fight, but I didn't think of a good idea at all.

Although there are differences in the process, they all end with brutal results.

None of them have a chance of winning.

Akira

Akira responded to the slightly intensified call and looked up, Alpha's face in front of him.

Akira tilted her head in surprise and slammed her head against the wall behind her, whispering in pain.

The astonishment and pain made the depressed mind, which had been repeatedly thinking about the worst, slowly recover.

As the surprise and pain wore off, Akira came back to her senses and regained her composure.

The unfocused eyes that sat on the ground with their heads hanging down are now staring at Alpha.

After Alpha confirmed, he smiled gently and forcefully.

"Cheer up, it's okay, I'll support you well. Akira will never let him die. ”

Akira was both surprised and hopeful.

"Can you escape?"

But what Alpha continues is the opposite of what Akira expected.

"We won't run away, we'll fight, we're not going to lose. ”

The anticipation that had originally appeared on Akira's face was suddenly smeared with surprise and confusion.

"Can you do such a thing?! 2 against 1, and the other party is a heavily armed hunter!Unlike the previous opponent, and the slum kid with only a pistol!?"

In order to sweep away Akira's uneasiness, Alpha makes a confident voice with a smile that makes people feel calm.

There is not much difference in that degree.

Akira still has mine, and in terms of overall combat effectiveness, our side has an overwhelming advantage.

Akira defeated such a powerful weapon with a pistol, right? As long as Akira moved as I instructed, there would be no problem at all.

Never mind. Rest assured》

“...... Is that so?"

Akira couldn't help but accept Alpha's overly taken attitude.

But that wasn't enough to dispel the anxiety caused by the already desperate disparity in power, and he was still skeptical.

“...... No, however, monsters and humans are different, and the only way to deny confidence is to escape.

In that case, you'd better run away......"

Alpha's expression turned to Akira, who appeared weak.

'No, I can't. The gap in the range of the equipment outside the building was attacked unilaterally.

This is especially true of the wilderness.

First, when will we continue to flee? What about today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?

This city stopped from the streets until they suddenly attacked Akira's death?

Death, do you think you can do it, think you ran away there, can you run away, plan to keep running and get killed?"

Alpha stared at Akira with a serious expression.

Akira couldn't take her eyes off either.

He stared wordlessly for a moment.

Soon, Akira seemed to understand something, and her expression became nervous.

There is indeed enlightenment there.

“...... Will you only be killed if you run away here? I know, I'll do it. ”

Akira, who had made up her mind, stood up.

From his expression, the uneasiness just now completely disappeared.

Just as Alpha gave Akira more courage, a gentle and powerful smile emerged.

"Akira, be enlightened. If you can't cross this level of things, it's a dream to become a powerful hunter?"

Akira smiled wryly. There's something happy in that expression.

"Yes, the meaning, the drive, and the awareness are all that I should have. ”

Will, motivation and awareness, these are my responsibilities.

That's exactly what Akira told Alpha when she almost died when she disobeyed Alpha's instructions.

It must be shown that that statement is not a lie.

If you can't do it, you really don't have anything to show Alpha if you don't have the money and strength.

If the promise is to accumulate results and trust, it will all become a joke.

This thought raised Akira's consciousness.

Show your intentions, show your energy, and make up your mind.

Akira said to herself again.

Alpha smiled dependently.

Other than that, it's my responsibility. I'm fully supporting the ability of Akira to know that the opportunity has come just as easily. Please leave it to me"

"Ah, please. ”

Akira replied earnestly, and Akira smiled contentedly.

After that, Akira let out a wry smile.

“...... That being said, I didn't expect that opportunity to come so quickly. Sure enough, after Akira and I met, our luck ran out. ”

“...... I feel that way too. ”

Akira returned the wry smile as well.

Alpha smiled awkwardly and continued in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Akira. ”

"Thanks, great help. ”

Akira smiled lightly.

"Well, I'll help you. ”

Alpha replied with a smug smile.

The very attractive Alpha smile that was born from the high arithmetic made Akira fully composed, regained her strength, and regained her will to fight.

Everything went according to Alpha's intentions.
