The chariot carried Akira and they advanced through the wilderness.

The ruins of Kuzara Street are located near the ancient Gamma Hill city, and even in Akira it is only a short walk away.

In general, it is also possible to ride in a vehicle.

The tank just needs to take a little time.

Bonito and Daris are in a very good mood after winning the fierce battle.

After being chased by the monster group for a long time, he is also very happy now, and he laughs and tells Akira about the hardships along the way and the situation on the front line.

For Akira, who has always lived in the slums, there are few opportunities to hear such topics.

Listen to the story with interest.

"Ah, the east side of the east, that's what it looks like. ”

"yes. Because the dividing line with the unreached territory is the forefront.

It is a matter of course that the hunters over there drive tanks.

We had a tank and it felt like holding a gun.

If you don't have a tank as powerful, you can only be helpless against powerful monsters. ”

"Did you ship your goods from that kind of place? Is it so difficult to just buy goods? It's not easy to do business. ”

"Well, in addition to purchasing goods, there are many opportunities for relationships with customers, ways to seize business opportunities, and so on.

It's as hard to follow up with everything?"

"Well, that's too good for me to do. ”

Akira was frankly impressed.

Seeing this, the bonito smiled happily.

"Ah, I have to admit that this procurement is really too hard, and there is no need to consider it as a standard.

Why don't you try to do it, maybe there's something unexpected?"

Akira imagines a little and starts doing business with herself.

But he couldn't think of a reason to succeed at all.

Bonito sensed this from Akira's expression and amplified his laughter.

"Well, nothing has the same means of development.

All you have to do is be a hunter.

I'll just do business.

That's all.

I also have such a tank now, and I am doing a profitable business, but I will use this time as an opportunity to make money and expand the scale.

Eventually, they will join the ruling company, or even one of the top 5 companies. ”

Akira was a little surprised.

Even small townspeople from the slums can understand how difficult it can be.

"Are the five major companies something that can be done by talking about it? ”

"After becoming the ruling company, I want to issue corporate currency, and the name of the currency is 'Click-Click'.

I asked them to write 50,000 clicks on the price tag of the product. ”

Bonito, who was smiling and talking about his dreams, changed that expression to a slightly serious look.

“...... These goods in the car were the first step in my dream.

So I thank you very seriously. Because of you, we won't leave our cargo and run away alone. ”

"Really, then leave this help to me. It should be useful if the goods bought and sold are done so well. ”

"Okay. Can you adjust the discount a little bit? As I said, I need money. ”

Although the means are different, they want to talk and laugh among the people who want to rise in the east.

At this time, Alpha, who was smiling beside Akira, changed his expression again.

"Akira. Now immediately check the situation outside with binoculars from the window on the right. ”

From the appearance of Alpha, who changed his attitude again, Akira immediately raised his vigilance and nervousness.

In a hurry, as before, the binoculars were connected to the information terminal, and with the operation of the alpha, the situation outside was confirmed.

Enlarge the display on the wilderness and a little smoke came out of it.

“...... Bonito. You brought those monsters, right?"

Bonito smiled wryly and wanted to fool the past.

“...... Is it exposed? No, it should be, right?"

"I don't care who brought it here. Tell me, is that just part of the community?"

Bonito sensed the seriousness of the situation from Akira's appearance, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Daris! Maximize the vehicle's range!"

"If you spread it out that big, it's hard to find a smaller monster. ”

"It's okay, that's all!"

Darith also began to sense the unstable situation from the appearance of the bonito, and hurriedly changed the setting of the enemy seeker machine according to the instructions.

The expression of the bonito staring at the search results became even more menacing.

"The search range is narrowed to 60 degrees in the direction of 2 o'clock!"

Darys was surprised by what was instructed.

Because of this setting, it becomes impossible to search in areas other than the specified direction, and the probability of being attacked increases dramatically.

But he quickly followed the instructions.

Then, looking at the search results that changed again, my expression stiffened with the bonito.

Akira hurried to answer with a very stern expression.

"I'm sorry, can you answer my question before I can do you a favor

...... How many monsters are left in the herd of monsters you brought?!"

With binoculars, the source of the earth smoke confirmed is a group of other monsters.

In the search results they saw, a large number of reactions could be seen pouring in from a distance in the direction of the vehicle.

From the wilderness to the east, the bonito has been chasing their monster herd.

Depending on the type and the speed of the individual, they are gradually divided into several groups, and then move rapidly in groups.

It was the vanguard that attacked Akira just now.

The group of people with slow feet in the rear, giving up the tracking halfway to return to their original habitat, etc., this batch is a bite successful.

At this time, the group that was originally moving at a medium speed slowly caught up after the leading group was eliminated.

The bonito deliberated with sinister expressions.

"Bonito-sama. What happens if you just get into the city? Is it too late?"

Bonito shook his head.

"No, I can't. It's too late.

In the past, it would be judged that we brought the tribe of beasts.

Further on, we'll be killed by the City Guard along with that group of monsters.

...... Predict the speed of the swarm based on the speed of movement of the enemy response, and if we drive the vehicle at full speed, I'm afraid we will be a little faster.

Tell how about running to buy time, and keep enough distance from the monsters before entering the city. ”

This time Darys shook his head.

"No way.

For long-distance movements, the energy margin of the tank is barely enough.

If you continue to run for your life, the difficulties on the way will be broken. ”

The bonitoes, who rejected each other's proposals, sighed and fell silent for a while.

The next plan didn't seem to come out either, and finally Akira proposed.

"How about going back to the ruins again?

This time I'm introducing the ruins.

The terrain there is detailed.

Even at the end of the road, I think it can be avoided.

Even if you throw away the trailer after using up the energy, there are more ruins than in the wilderness, and the enemy will easily let go......"

Akira thinks that it would be a good idea to remove the fact that the actual guide is Alpha.

But bonito expressed strong refusal.

"No way!"

Seeing Akira's surprised attitude, Bonito came back to his senses.

And then with a heavy and serious expression, he explained the reason.

“...... The ruins are littered with mountains of freshly killed monsters.

Maybe these bloody things have attracted a lot of other monsters.

Worst of all, if we even call the powerful monsters in the ruins, we will never win. ”

Akira was slightly surprised, and turned her gaze to Alpha to inquire about the authenticity.

Hearing this, Alpha replied with a serious expression.

"It really contains the deception of not wanting to lose the tank.

But there are no lies in what is stated.

Even if you return to the ruins now, the situation will only worsen. ”

Akira, whose own proposal was rejected, also sighed in the same way.

"Can you only fight here......

By the way, can't you use the equipment that comes from the front line? Aren't they amazing?"

Bonito shook his head.

"No, I can't. The booster cannot be used without personal adjustments.

It can take as little as four hours to adjust.

For firearms, people need special ammunition for the corresponding one, and now they can't be loaded randomly.

The transport of ammunition is another route.

...... Damn!"

The best way to fight monsters here is to do so.

That's how the Akira understood it.

There are some differences in the degree of understanding and grasping, which is reflected in the subtle differences in the expressions of each person, but the optimistic atmosphere is all the same.

Akira and the others began to prepare to attack.

If the vehicle is parked on the most favorable terrain possible, it will be as easy as possible to reload the remnants of the machine gun and continue to fight.

Akira and Daris got out of the chariot and began to arrange the battlefield.

There are only a few minutes left before the battle.

Akira followed Alpha's instructions and quickly completed the preparations.

Reload the magazine for the AAH assault rifle, remove all spare magazines from the backpack and place them on the ground nearby.

Take the recovery pill beforehand, and keep the supplement in your mouth at the same time that the effect is over.

Unwrap the recovery pill capsule and put the contents in the pocket of your clothes.

At this point, the preparations outside of Akira's spirit have been completed.

Alpha stood next to Akira as usual.

Akira asked, looking uneasy and strong, with a slight suspicion.

Alpha. Tell me honestly. Victory, yes...... No, the odds?"

If you ask him if he can win, he will answer that he will lose, so he changed the answer halfway.

Alpha replied with a smile as usual.

"I have a win rate, I will always support you, come on. ”

Alpha is not lying.

However, if the win rate is conveyed correctly, it may be due to a loss of motivation and other reasons.

The already low win rate will be further reduced, so I don't plan to tell the specific value at all.

"So, do you have a chance of winning?"

Akira didn't dare to ask any more.

It's better not to know, and it's okay not to know.

There is a common understanding there.

Aqila shoots.

Then he looked at Alpha, wanted to say something, and stopped.

So Alpha didn't dare to smile happily.

"Akira. As I said before, I'll take good care of Akira than the luck she paid to meet me.

So, no matter what happens to Akira, she can't give up hope.

My support is premised on Akira's determination, drive, and awareness.

Don't forget that.

If Qiura is not motivated, can you stop supporting it?"

Looking at Alpha's provocative smile, Akira smiled bitterly.

'So. Intention, motivation and awareness, I am responsible.

Well, well, this situation.

Although this is the case, you still have to take good care of yourself. ’

Alpha replied confidently with a smile on his face.

"Leave it all to me"

Akira smiled softly, too.

The little bit of giving up that welled up in my heart immediately disappeared completely, and was replaced by the meaning of fighting to the end.

Akira made up her mind.

At this point, everything is ready for Akira.

Bonito has kept a group of monsters within range of the tank's machine guns.

But bonito does not shoot right away.

Because of the diversion for the purpose of preventing approach, there is no point in shooting.

In order to control useless bullets, it is necessary to pull the enemy to a distance where at least the tough flesh of the monster can inflict serious damage.

The Akira also understood this, so the official order of strafing was silently noted, and the guns attracted the enemy.

The Tyura knew this, too, so they didn't rush to strafe, silently waving their guns, and waited for the enemy to approach.

In their escape, the bonito defeated almost all individual monsters with long-range attacks.

So the current group of monsters can basically only attack individuals at close range.

Therefore, just enduring the horror of a large number of monsters exposing the killing machine and the approaching monsters will be able to fully attract the enemy to an effective shooting position.

Akira and others endured this fear to the fullest.

The machine guns began to strafe, and indeed the group was able to be pulled to the distance of the fatal wound.

A large number of bullets hit individuals in front of the group, scattering the target's original form and scattering its flesh and blood towards the monsters behind them.

From the blood smoke, the following monsters bathed in the flesh and blood of their companions, and even if they were reduced to pieces, they fearlessly rushed forward.

Akira took aim at the monster and pulled the trigger.

The bullet struck between the eyebrows of the target, killing the subject instantly.

And the monster that crossed the corpse did not hesitate to shoot and kill.

After that, the next time, with the support of Alpha, you can take down the monster with a move that far exceeds your original strength.

But the impact on the community has been minimal.

The follow-up keeps coming.

A desperate protracted war began.

The fierce battle to the death continues.

Akira didn't know how many enemies he had knocked down, and he didn't know how much time had passed since the battle began, and only kept sniping the monster as Alpha had instructed.

Bullets used against monsters have a strong reaction force depending on their power.

Every time you pull the trigger, due to its reaction, it puts a strong load on the body, reducing physical strength.

Thanks to the recovery pills I took beforehand, I continued to recover that load and barely maintained my combat ability.

When you run out of ammunition, swap magazines immediately.

The magazines on the clothes ran out quickly.

While draining the empty magazine, he grabbed the magazine that was placed on the ground and hurriedly reloaded.

Akira felt anxious at the apparently reduced number of remnants, but he continued to fire without hesitation.

If you cherish the ammunition, you will not be able to suppress the enemy.

After realizing from the pain in the arm that supported the gun that the recovery was about to lose its effect, he slowly swallowed the recovery medicine in his mouth.

The effects of the recovery medicine circulate slowly through the body.

If you don't have recovery medicine, you can't bear the load on your body and collapse.

In order not to affect the battle, but in order not to let the pain swallow up the remaining recovery pills, he delicately adjusted the dosage, tied his teeth and continued to pull the trigger.

The alpha's indication is almost perfect.
