Section 6: Enlightenment
Akira also knew this, so yesterday he explored the outer perimeter of the site, that is, the outer side of the site.
But today, at the suggestion of Alpha, he is targeting the depths of the ruins.
Danger and profit coexist, and even Akira hesitated.
But under the persuasion of the seemingly confident Alpha, he finally accepted Alpha's proposal.
If you don't go inside, you can't buy high-priced equipment.
Alpha is the guide, and as long as Akira follows that instruction, it's fine.
Being said by Alpha, it was also difficult for Akira to quit.
For the sake of change, he became a hunter.
And then trade with Alpha, right here.
Because if Alpha does not move forward without ensuring a certain amount of safety, it is impossible to succeed.
At first, he silently followed Alpha's instructions.
But after a while, Akira began to be surprised by Alpha.
Because Akira has been giving instructions that Akira doesn't think makes sense.
Walk slowly along the wall.
In the designated building, instead of the entrance and exit that can be seen, climb up the nearby pile of rubble and enter through the window.
After that, immediately go out through the entrance you just saw.
Walk the same road many times.
Temporarily stop in the middle of the road.
Go back and forth on the same road a few times before going inside.
Although she continued to do what she was instructed, Akira felt that she was repeating something in vain.
There are also times when I am attacked by biological dogs.,I wonder if I should ask for the reason for the instructions one by one.,But I've been silent.。
But every time you take a seemingly pointless action, a little bit of distrust builds up.
Akira finally couldn't help it.
“...... Hey, alpha. ”
"What?"
"Did you get lost, or did you just move forward without a purpose?"
Alpha answered clearly.
"I didn't. ”
“...... Really?"
"Really. ”
"I feel like I've been on the same road many times......"
"Because it's necessary. If you want to bypass a dangerous route, this is the only way to go. If more reasons were to be asked, it would be Akira's bad luck. ”
Alpha replied with a soft smile.
Akira's face twisted slightly.
“...... Is it for me?"
"yes. ”
Alpha so asserts again.
His unequivocal tone and attitude were convincing enough to suppress Akira's rebuttal.
But it has not yet reached the point of eliminating the resentment and mistrust that has accumulated in Akira's mind.
After that, he also temporarily advanced in the ruins.
Before the exit of a certain alley, Alpha turned around and gave a similar indication again.
"I will be back again. ”
“...... Here we go again. ”
Alpha passes next to Akira.
Akira also turned back in annoyance and continued.
But there, Akira suddenly stopped.
At the end of the alley is a big road.
Akira was concerned about what was going on behind it.
If you can find a reason to turn back after looking at the previous scene, you will be able to understand the seemingly meaningless instructions so far, and you will be able to eliminate the dissatisfaction in your heart at once.
Akira thought so.
(...... Just took a look)
Akira explained, leaning out of the alley and looking out at the avenue with a wary look.
However, only the ruins of the desolation that have not changed much from the previous scene are displayed.
(...... Nothing.
When Akira was even more dissatisfied, Alpha shouted in a very tough tone.
"I'll be right back!"
Then, in front of Akira's vision, there was a roar and flash of light from the space that seemed to be nothing.
The impact of flashes and shelling will cause the monster's optical camouflage function to drop instantly, and its posture will be shown at this time.
At the sight of that, Akira's expression froze.
Where Akira thinks there is nothing, there are huge mechanical monsters that make camouflage effective.
Large-caliber warheads hit the building a little further from Akira.
Half of the building collapsed under this blow, along with the sound of explosions, storms, and impacts.
A large amount of huge rubble littered all around.
Akira's feet shook hard from that impact on the ground.
Alpha roared at Akira, who froze in excessive surprise.
"Hurry back! You're going to die!"
Akira, who had come to her senses, ran desperately.
The alley was rather shaky and rubble from the surrounding buildings being hit by shells.
Akira ran desperately down that alley.
Akira followed Alpha's instructions and managed to escape to a building not far away.
The sound of shelling and shaking continued.
There is constant dust and fine debris on the ceiling.
Alpha turned to Akira with a stern expression and voice.
"The situation is dangerous. ”
Akira hung her head in the corner of the room.
He was silent for a moment, and finally answered in a whisper.
“...... I'm sorry. ”
In that short apology hides a strong self-loathing.
The sound is dark and deep, so anyone can hear it clearly.
Alpha turned his stern expression into a slightly sad smile.
Then make a gentle sound.
‘...... Maybe I'm not happy with what is indicated, but I'm not going to give instructions that are unfavorable to Akira.
... If you ask any other questions later, I'll keep answering them until I'm satisfied.
I said it before, but in the process of explaining the reason for the seemingly strange instructions, the probability of death has increased dramatically, so this explanation can be omitted.
We just met yesterday and I feel like there's a lot of places where we don't trust each other.
But it's really hard for Akira to die and I'm also really hard, so I don't want Akira to die.
It may be difficult, but trust me if you can. ”
Alpha was worried, and Akira understood it.
Akira felt guilty as she tried to find a way to answer.
“...... I see, I doubted you before, I'm sorry. ”
"Okay. I also don't think I'll be able to gain Akira's full trust anytime soon. Such things have to accumulate. Help each other. ”
Whether it was Alpha's tone or expression, he was worried about Akira at every turn.
As a result, Akira regained a little strength.
Then, in order to change his mood, whether it is empty or energetic, it is also meaningful to just dress up, Akira thought so, exerted all her strength, and reluctantly laughed for a while.
“...... yes, I'm going to accumulate it too. What should I do next time?"
Alpha confirms Akira's condition.
Also, it is best not to move until the mental state has returned to a certain level.
"I'll wait here until the situation on the outside stabilizes.
I'll be guiding the monsters out of the neighborhood for the time being, but I think it will take some time. ”
"So-called inducement, can Alpha do that kind of thing?"
Akira showed a slight surprise, and Akira smirked at Alpha.
'Only some machine opponents can do it, and in specific situations, it can be.
This mechanical monster is an automatic weapon, and the self-discipline of automatically manipulating weapon types to continue to attack foreign enemies.
Such a machine acquires external information including the image in order to grasp the surrounding situation, and obtains it from a peripheral monitoring device, too.
This time I was lucky enough to interrupt the external video used for monster video processing.
The monster is the image of Akira who continues to attack the fake.
The first attack was also because I got Akira in the wrong position.
If it's equipped with a camera, or a type of monster that can only be judged based on local visual information, this can't happen. ”
“...... What would I do if I were that type of monster?"
Alpha replied with a smile in a bright voice.
"Of course, of course, that shelling hit the roof of the house directly. ”
"Really?"
Akira's face stiffened slightly.
However, perhaps drawn by Alpha's clear attitude, he didn't look discouraged by self-loathing.
"A few more words. Oh, yes. Is there anything you'd like to ask me? Anything, just talk about it. ”
Anything can be asked, but Akira doesn't think of it right away.
But when you see Alpha smiling softly and waiting to ask a question, don't hesitate even if you don't have a particular question.
I think this is also an alpha instruction, and in order to accumulate, it is necessary to respond to that instruction.
Akira remembers from her encounter with Alpha as she searches for listening.
Then one thing came to mind.
"Then let me ask you, why was you naked when you first saw Alpha?"
Alpha is now also wearing clothes.
I got dressed immediately after I met him.
In other words, it was deliberately naked at that time.
At that time, because of the impact of too much, I didn't feel that way at all, and in retrospect, it was very unnatural.
Alpha smiled a little mischievously.
Just as Akira was a little surprised by the situation, Alpha wiped off his clothes, revealing his seductive nudeness.
Alpha is unshy about showing off his skin generously, and unabashedly shows Akira a gorgeous and undulating body shape.
Then make a happy sound with a slightly seductive action.
"How?"
Akira, who was both surprised and fascinated, began to panic as soon as she came to her senses.
"How's that...... No, that's good, let's get dressed first!"
Alpha smiled with satisfaction and put his clothes back on.
"Pretty attractive body, right? Eye-catching, right? Akira, I used to watch it a lot. ”
"I can't help it!?"
In other words, that's why. The answer to the question just now. ”
"What do you mean?"
It's an effective way to find someone who can recognize me.
The people of the ruins of Kuzara Street are mere hunters, and their number is not so many, very few.
It is very difficult to find someone from there who can recognize me.
So I dressed like that to make sure that people who knew me would react somehow.
In addition to that, I tried all sorts of things, such as those who saw that I didn't run away or hide cautiously, and I thought it would be the best!"
"I'm wary. ”
"Even so, you wouldn't run away the moment you saw me, would you? What do you think would happen if you recognized me from a distance and saw a strong soldier armed with gunfire?"
"Well, even if you don't run away, at least don't come closer. ”
I am unarmed and can judge at a glance, and on the basis of which I can determine who has reacted, I can easily recognize and judge.
Simple and clear or good response, don't make a big fuss, naked is the best.
Well, while Akira's reaction is my prediction is a somewhat different part.
I didn't expect me to be so vigilant. Sorry!》
Akira frowned slightly.
It is indeed an overreaction when I want to be pointed out.
Akira agreed with the explanation.
However, Akira has a little bit of a desire to refute Alpha's attitude of letting himself play naked.
“...... But what do you think about nudity?"
"It's good, it's made up anyway, as long as it gets the point, I don't care. ”
"Is it fake?"
"Yes. My appearance was made with computer graphics. Men and women, young and old, including age, gender, body type, clothing, my appearance can be changed at will. ”
As if to show evidence, Alpha transforms himself into a maiden smaller than Akira.
In front of the surprised Akira, she became a young woman, an old woman, and a girl, and her posture constantly changed to that of different ages.
Later, Alpha restored her appearance to its original appearance, and this time she cut her hair short.
Slowly getting longer and longer, combing into a hairstyle that clearly defies gravity, and makes the hair shine with seven colors.
Clothes have become various things from things such as the uniform of a certain school, dresses like social circles, gorgeous swimsuits, camouflage uniforms, and pilot suits.
Akira's attitude towards the ever-changing alpha was only surprised at first.
However, after a while, she reverted to her original appearance, looking intently at Alpha in various costumes.
Akira, who lives in the slums, has little entertainment.
The posture of Alpha, who changes his posture like dancing and wears various clothes like flying, is enough to fascinate Akira.
Akira observes Alpha, and Alpha observes Akira.
The appearance of the alpha, which changed randomly at the beginning, changed little by little according to his preferences, such as age, body type, hairstyle, clothing, etc., and Akira did not notice.
With a happy, seductive, calm, seductive, and gentle smile, Alpha continued to observe Akira.
"If there's a request for clothing or something, anything is acceptable. Ah, is it better to be completely naked? Or is it better to be completely naked to fully enjoy this seductive nudeness?"
Hearing this tempting remark, Akira panicked a little again.
"Everything, just give me clothes! Why are you so naked!?"
"I think Akira should also get used to this kind of training as soon as possible so that she doesn't get intimidated by the honey trap. Don't you think such training is necessary?"
If you answer "I think", things will get serious.
Akira thought so and said with a wry smile.
And there was no straightforward feeling, but with a shy expression, a little stubbornly answered.
“...... No one would seduce a child like me. ”
Retort like an alpha blocking a retreat.
'Akira now, maybe no one hooks up, but I think there are a lot of people who are hooked up with talented hunters who make money.
When Akira became such a hunter, I didn't want those people to be an obstacle.
Since ancient times, there have been many examples of female bodies defeating men, right?'
I want to be a hunter who makes money like that, but if I am asked if I can succeed, I am not so sure.
Akira's tone betrayed that lack of confidence.
“...... Can I be a hunter like that?"
To this, Alpha replied confidently.
That's for sure. After all, Akira has my back.
If Akira had this kind of awareness, I swear I'd definitely find a way.
But in addition to intention, motivation, preparation, etc., such things are excepted. If Akira doesn't work hard, I can't do anything!"
Akira was silent for a moment, then finally showed a firm determination.
"I get it, and I'm going to find a way to strengthen my ideas, my drive, and my determination. ”
Alpha smiled happily.
The smile was a compliment to Akira's determination and to Akira's ability to guide her on her own terms.
