Akira chatted with Alpha as she walked back to her dormitory from Hiska's shop.

In the process, he changed the subject from Alpha with a relaxed attitude.

"Akira. Tracked again. ”

"Here we go again"

Having just been attacked a few days ago, Akira revealed her lost heart.

But that expression turned into something strange.

"No, wait, are you going to attack in a place like this?"

The security of the city depends to a large extent on the strength of the organizations that strive to maintain the law and order of that place.

The inner side of the protective wall is a matter of course, and most of the outer side is the security of the area contracted by the civilian security company, mainly to deal with various factors that disturb public order.

Although it is in the direction of accommodation closer to the slums, it is still a safe place in the vicinity.

In such a place, to cause such a commotion as the previous day is an act of enmity against the people who profit from the maintenance of law and order.

Security has an extremely high commodity value in the east.

Of course, for something that reduces its value in existence, sanctions will correspondingly become severe.

There is also a time and place for disputes to arise.

It's not the same as looting and rioting in a ghetto.

Akira's idea was greatly biased, and the attack of the previous day made this bias even worse.

But it doesn't happen under normal circumstances, and it even makes Akira think that even then, no fool would attack him with money as his goal.

Akira's words of increased vigilance and confusion will be replenished again.

"There's no intention of attacking Akira, that's okay.

The other side is not armed.

Although it left traces, it was not so much for the purpose of tracking as it was for the hesitant to talk to Akira.

Akira also needs to confirm it himself. ”

Akira looked back for the figure.

Thanks to Alpha's support, the figure is highlighted in the expanded field of view, so it is quickly discovered.

There stood a girl who showed a suspicious attitude towards the other party who suddenly turned around, and looked at her seriously.

She was Cheryl.

Based on Cheryl's appearance, Akira judged that there was indeed no danger.

If you let your guard down, whether you give up on the other party or run away, approach Cheryl first.

Cheryl, on the other hand, looked at Akira, who was approaching her, becoming more and more nervous.

Use your mind to desperately hold down your own self who is likely to escape now.

(...... Calm down!Save yourself the trouble of talking to me!You think so!You can't quit in the future!?)

Although the Sibel group was defeated by the hunters, they already had the strength to lead a small gang.

One man killed all of them in a hurry, and he was approaching here.

And that person, surrounded by the enemy, did not hesitate to choose to engage.

If the other party knew that he was a previous attacker, he did not kill well at that time, and he wanted to kill as soon as he saw it, and it would not be surprising that he was killed without room for negotiation.

Cheryl does not think that he hesitates to kill people.

Cheryl clasped her hands and endured the fear.

Akira doesn't know herself, or doesn't remember.

This is the first level of Cheryl's bet.

Akira came to Cheryl.

Cheryl struggled to put a smile on her face, but her face was twisted a lot with fear and nervousness.

"Is there anything you want me to do?"

Cheryl was even more nervous.

Because the distance between me and the other party was reduced, I saw Akira's equipment up close.

Manufacture of the AAH assault rifle that was tragic a few days ago.

Although it is cheap, it is a monster gun that shows off its power, unlike a pistol and other guns for humans.

If you use it for yourself, it's normal to leave your body behind.

I couldn't help but think of the shootout at that time, and imagined myself in the middle of that pile of dead bodies, and my tone became stammering.

"Ha, ha, talk ......"

"What's that?"

Akira looked surprised.

Cheryl couldn't catch the call well because of her mood swings.

Even so, in order not to upset the other party, she tried her best to calm down her rapid breathing and tried to continue.

But before that, Alpha interjected.

"Akira.

Let me tell you first, she was one of the people who attacked Akira before, when she mixed in with the crowd surrounding Akira.

She fled as soon as the shootout began. ”

"Really, what do you say to me?"

"Ah, get there. ”

Cheryl's vacillation greatly reduced Akira's vigilance.

But after listening to Alpha's story, everything is back to square one.

In addition, if it is someone related to the attacker, there will be hostility and unhappiness in the first place.

These are manifested in Akira's expression and tone.

"Who told me anything about those who wanted to kill me?"

This sentence left Cheryl's mind go blank.

The brain rejects the perception of the status quo, and the vision begins to be severely distorted.

In that case, emotions begin to break down and the whole body begins to tremble.

Fear began to fill his mind, reminiscent of Akira's actions after this.

Pull out the gun, put the muzzle into your own throat and pull the trigger without hesitation.

His own head was blown apart, and pieces of meat were scattered around.

This thought flashed through Cheryl's mind, and Cheryl's trembling became even worse.

Nausea caused by terror and nervousness hit.

But there is nothing in the stomach.

The only thing that can be spit out is gastric juice.

Other than that, Cheryl is not that time yet.

On the other hand, Akira was completely angry at Cheryl's appearance.

The other party was completely timid, with ulcerated tear ducts and a runny nose.

The expression is the expression of the prisoner before the execution, not the state in which he can say anything.

The over-the-top look removed the hostility and unhappiness from Akira's face, replaced by intense confusion.

Alpha smiled and avoided the panicked Akira.

"Ah, that's hard. ”

"Oh, am I bad?"

"Well, I'm well informed.

Although I know what will become of the people who kill each other with Akira, I don't know what the people around me will think, do I?"

As Alpha said, no matter how others look at it, it looks like Akira is threatening Cheryl.

Without the presence of a righteous, righteous, informed figure, it is possible to fight to save Cheryl.

If the guards in charge of maintaining security around the neighborhood have a strange misunderstanding, it will cause Akira problems.

Aguira, who noticed this, hurried while trying to find a way to calm Cheryl down.

"Ah, what's the matter, you have to calm down, I don't want to do anything with you.

You're like that, aren't you? Let's calm down and talk.

Look, take a deep breath and calm down. ”

Akira's efforts were in vain, and Cheryl was still crying in her voice.

(...... Why is this happening?)

Akira cursed the world without anyone knowing.

Akira manages to take Cheryl back to her hotel room.

Cheryl let her attitude go and did not take any means of escape, because she was worried to that extent.

Although Cheryl was afraid, she still wanted to say the content of what she wanted to say to Akira.

Cheryl did not resist Akira, who pulled her own hand.

Even when she got to the room, her expression was still full of fear and wavering, but her expression was still calm.

Although there were obvious traces, the tears stopped.

In short, Akira doesn't think Cheryl is an enemy yet.

If you are treated as an enemy, you will be treated more calmly and coldly.

Even Cheryl, crying and begging out of fear, did not hesitate to shoot and kill.

But the girl, who is not an enemy, stands by her side with extreme timidity.

And trembling with fear of herself, a situation that greatly exceeds Akira's interpersonal skills.

For this, Akira panicked and suggested to Cheryl that the situation would improve.

"Would you like to take a shower first? I think you'll calm down. ”

Cheryl nodded slightly and walked to the bathroom.

Akira's proposal, which was a little confused, had a lot of evil content, but Cheryl didn't notice it, and even if she did, she didn't have the power to resist.

Cheryl's figure disappeared into the bathroom, and Akira sighed deeply, as if she was about to vomit her thoughts.

Alpha. What do you think it is?'

"There can be a lot of expectations, but it's better to ask her quickly.

Anyway, today's training was suspended.

If she comes out of the bathroom, can we listen to her slowly?"

"yes"

In short, I want to restore my calm.

Thinking so, Akira decided to wait for Cheryl calmly.

Cheryl leaned back in the tub in a daze.

My own gambling thought it was over when I went bankrupt at the first time, but now it has gradually calmed down.

Soak in the hot water leisurely, and with fatigue, horror, tension, anxiety and other superfluous things will melt away.

The long-lost bath has made a great contribution to Cheryl's mental stability.

(...... Although he lost the expected bet, he was still alive.

...... Luck or bad luck? No, it's kind of good luck.

Thanks to that ugliness, I probably won't be killed again for the uselessness of the Q&A.

Being brought into the hotel is also within the scope of the assumption.

I won't be interested, but let's make use of it.

...... If there is an effect)

Cheryl should have been aware of it beforehand.

But try to challenge it, that enlightenment is just a pretty sweet thing, and it turns out to be ugly.

But if we recall the brain which regained thinking power by the rest we obtained.

That ugliness greatly weakened Akira's vigilance, which can be understood as maintaining his own life.

Acting skills that you are not good at should have the opposite effect.

I feel lucky to include that, too.

After taking a shower, you have to clean up the original commission.

Whether that proposal will be accepted is still unknown.

Cheryl must work on the possibilities now.

Look at Cheryl's reflection on the water.

It reflects a girl with a face that is quite flattered by men.。

If you have to list the shortcomings, the chest muscles are a little bad.

Cheryl understands that her appearance is quite good.

Cheryl thinks that if the body is used as a trading material, it will be quite valuable.

Especially when Aguira recommended the bath water to herself, she didn't feel much of the way she was expecting it.

But Cheryl thinks there's a good chance of a change of mind.

I don't want to, but if I need to, I have to bring it up.

Wearing only underwear is like there are so many things you can make yourself.

If you can, maximize that value as much as possible.

Take advantage of what you can use.

If Cheryl judges like this, she will carefully wash her body and hair, and wash her body as much as possible.

Cheryl returned to her room after taking a shower.

Akira is preparing to eat frozen food that has been thawed.

At that time, Cheryl's stomach was ringing loudly, and she advocated an empty stomach more strongly than herself.

Akira and Cheryl's eyes matched.

After a few seconds of staring, Akira silently moved closer to Cheryl as she prepared her meal.

Then start thawing the new frozen food.

In the silence, the heating of frozen food is taking place.

During that time, Cheryl waited silently without eating with her hands.

Akira sat down in front of Cheryl with the heated food and checked the other party's appearance.

Then I judged that I was very calm, and I was relieved at first.

I guess I can talk if that's the case.

Thinking like that, I opened my mouth.

"Ah, talk while eating......"

Cheryl's stomach rang again.

Whoever it is, there is a subtle silence.

「...... Do you want to wait until you're done eating?"

Akira and Cheryl began to eat like this.

After eating, both of them had stomachs full of food that would not hinder the conversation.

Akira regained her spirits and planned to listen to him from Cheryl.

"Well, first of all, I'm Akira. ”

"My name is Cheryl. Please call me Cheryl.

Mr. Akira. Thank you for inviting me to a bath and meal.

Then, I'm very sorry. Sorry for the trouble."

Cheryl was in awe.

On the other hand, Akira replied without showing any particular concern, whether good or bad.

"Akira, too. We're all children. ...... And what do you say?"

Akira slightly changed her expression to something serious.

Cheryl also made up her mind to answer with a serious expression.

"Straight to the point. Actually, I want Akira to be our boss. ”

For the unexpected, Akira couldn't help but turn her expression into something strange.
