Akira came to the ruins of Kuzla Street again.

In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past this time, we carefully followed the instructions of Alpha from the beginning.

Even though he had just been shot a few days ago, the action was the same as last time.

I did quite a lot of work, such as climbing a pile of rubble, but I continued to walk in without any problems.

Alpha was satisfied with Akira's appearance, attitude, and movements, and smiled happily.

"If that's the case, there should be no problem with the body. ”

"Ah, I don't know exactly, but I'm in very good shape.

Although he only had a day off, he was in better shape than before he was shot.

It's kind of scary. ”

Akira's physical condition is actually very good.

There is no feeling of exhaustion, and consciousness is clearer than usual.

The feeling of power even on the fingertips.

Akira was once again aware of her physical condition and found it incredible.

Then he asked Alpha what was wrong with his body.

"That's probably the effect of the recovery pill. ”

"I'm surprised that the injuries healed so quickly, does it have anything to do with the fact that my body is in better condition than before I was shot?"

"For the sake of prudence, I have increased the dosage of a lot of recovery pills, and I am afraid that injuries other than gunshot wounds will also be treated. ”

"There should be no wounds other than the wound from the gunshot. ”

Compared to Akira, who was getting more and more incredible, Alpha was still smiling.

'Because I had free time yesterday, I listened to Akira's life so far?'

Since her father's departure, Akira's body, in a long and cruel life, has taken a considerable toll on her body.

Although you are not injured to the point of death, the state of chronic injury continues!"

"No, life in the back streets is really hard, but isn't that a bit of an exaggeration......?

"Akira thought that the current state was very ordinary, but in fact, it was such a cruel and serious state.

That's the kind of thing.

For example, malnutrition does not reach the level of death, it will last for a long time and the harm to the body is considerable.

The details of the cell unit have been injured countless times, hurting the invisible things inside.

Yesterday, for the sake of prudence, in order to recover the speed and effect, I drank additional medicine, right?

A little more recovery pills to treat those injured cells, and it feels better than before?"

“...... That is, am I on the verge of death all the time?"

Akira was surprised with a complicated expression.

Akira finally smiled triumphantly.

"Ah, that's it. It's great to be saved, isn't it?"

Akira frowned.

Because I once again realized the cruelty of the life I live every day, I wanted to simply answer "great" and finish it, and a little complicated feelings welled up in my heart.

However, Akira ignored such feelings for the time being.

Now is not the time to get your mood in order.

Akira found a reason, shifted his gaze, concentrated his instructions, and rushed to the front.

Akira is going well in the ruins.

At least that's what Akira herself thought.

There were no encounters with monsters either.

Alpha's instructions are just plain content, and it doesn't feel like they're scratching between a large number of monsters lurking somewhere.

The idea that it would be okay to follow the instructions well also gave him a sense of reassurance.

It was to ease the tension, and when moving through the dangerous ruins, it also created leisure time to allocate thoughts to things other than the vigilance around.

For such calmness, it is actually a matter of considerable concern, and it is the continuation of the exploration of the ruins and the silence is closed.

"Alpha. May I ask?"

"Okay, you can say anything to me. ”

"Why are you dressed like that?"

Alpha's dress was a plain white dress with excess ruffle-like frills.

The sleeves and lower body are decorated with gorgeous glittering fabrics.

"Ah, doesn't it look good? Or do you remind me to change my clothes?

Alpha spun gently with a slightly dramatic movement, giving out a beautiful and charming smile.

Layers of fabric danced with the movements, and the long shiny hair slowly arced in the air.

Instead of a bare back, a bold and large-scale open chest appeared in front of Akira.

Akira asked if it was an Alpha posture that was not suitable for exploring the ruins, no matter what she thought, but she was a little fascinated by the dancing movements and graceful dancing.

For this reason, Akira forgot about the original question for a moment and answered the question from Alpha in passing.

“...... No, I think it's a good fit. However, if I want to talk about my preferences, I think it was better when I first met Alpha......"

The unique atmosphere exuded by the clothes made in the old world, which is difficult to see in normal times, and the impact of an impressive encounter with Alpha, Akira loved the clothes that Alpha wore in the first place.

Alpha understood this and smiled happily.

"What did you look like when we first met...... That's naked!"

In the next moment, Alpha's clothes disappeared, and the alluring nude of art hidden with glittering cloth was once again unreservedly exposed to Akira's eyes.

Akira panicked.

"No! It's the clothes after that!Don't take it all off!Put him back on!Why be naked!?"

Alpha chuckled again in a tuxedo gesture.

"I'm not interested in my nudity, which is generated by careful calculations with high-precision calculations, Akira is such a child.

Is it a gluttonous age than sexy?"

Akira was a little angry, a little reckless.

"Yes. That's right, I'm a kid. If I don't earn some money for support subsidies, I'll starve to death, so I prefer food to eroticism.

...... So, what's the reason for dressing like this now?"

When we first met, Alpha was naked for a clear reason.

If that's the case, the way it is now is completely incommensurate with exploring the ruins, and perhaps there is some kind of meaning.

Akira just thought so, and didn't intend to ask.

It's not like to want to know anyway.

If Alpha had dealt with him in a normal and serious manner, he would have lost the meaning of deep listening.

But Alpha's attitude of mocking Akira disappeared.

Although he had a smile on his face, he said it a little seriously.

I wanted to explain it before, but remember? You see, people who know me often look for stories that are easy to get a response to for the sake of efficiency.

Now my figure, in order to make the perception for Akira my image information is sent in real time, but there is a little bit of processing in the process of sending it.

"Any questions?"

In fact, the city management system of Kuzla Street is also partially activated.

I'm intervening in the system and transmitting my video information over a wide area.

That's why I can see me in the device that gets the video information from the city management system.

It is also the application that previously caused this mechanical monster. Therefore, anyone who uses such a device can see me through Akira. ”

Akira noticed what Alpha was saying, and her expression stiffened.

“...... In other words, did anyone see it? Is there anyone around who is using that device?"

As Akira replied, there was no smile on Alpha's face.

"Well, you can't look back. He kept stalking Akira.

He's a long way away from Akira, and he's watching Akira now. ”

Akira's expression became serious.

Alpha's expression made it easy for Akira to understand the seriousness of the situation.

Two hunters are looking for Akira's appearance away from him.

A man named Quasimo uses binoculars, and the other a man named Hashim, with the eyes of a mechanized head, uses the telephoto function of a camera to observe Akira from a distance that the layman would never notice.

The equipment used proves that Quasimo is not a fledgling who only wanders around the outer perimeter of the ruins of Kuzhara.

Quasimo looked at Akira, who was wearing binoculars, with a surprised expression.

"That kid, he's going to go inside. The depths of that empty-handed equipment ruins are like suicide. What was he thinking?"

Hashim smiled skeptically.

"Fools. Nothing considered, this kind of fool never sticks to common sense, and the relics are found?

There is nothing decent left here on the periphery.

This is common knowledge for hunters in this area.

Hurry up and let that guy tell me where to get the relic, it's best to do it quickly. ”

Casimo made a slightly upset sound.

"Hey, say I'm sorry before you kill someone, you're the one who stopped me, right?"

Haha smiled and comforted Hashem.

"Don't say that. I don't think a kid is going to go all the way to the ruins. Did I think he was going to be somewhere around the perimeter, or was it an abandoned building around?"

"Well, I don't think the slum imps would escape from the innermost part of the ruins alone. This area is already dangerous, and we are also dangerous if we go further inside. ”

"Right? Don't be so angry. ”

Casimo and the others were not interested in observing Akira.

The children of the slums, who were not even armed, took the high-priced relics to the purchase station.

That's what I heard.

On the periphery of the ruins of Kuzla Street, there are no relics that can become gold.

That's the consensus of the hunters around here.

But there is nothing absolutely impossible.

The possibility of a large number of relics lying under the rubble, such as buried places.

The access to the warehouse, for some reason, was blocked.

However, due to the aftermath of the monster's attack, etc., a hole was accidentally opened in the passage and entered.

Someone stumbled upon the entrance and exit of the building, located in a very difficult place to find.

Many cases have been reported.

Of course, to a certain extent, everyone finds a very rare probability in the worthless ruins looking for relics.

Once that ruin was discovered, many hunters gathered again at the already depressed ruins.

If the owner of the relics is found to have a large number of relics that cannot be taken home at one time, then the remaining relics are of course sought-after, and the rest are naturally on a first-come, first-served basis.

The person who will put this kind of information is real.

The same goes for Quasimo and others.

The children of the slums arrived at the acquisition house with valuable artifacts, and the money they received led to the cannibalism of the surrounding children.

Cassimo and the others, who had received the information, carefully investigated the contents and believed the story.

In other words, the children of the slums can also go to places with the highest value of relics and judgments.

and concluded that the place was the outer perimeter of the ruins of Kuzhara.

Because the only remnants of the slum children who survived were there, and there was only one around the city of Kuzara.

If that kid stumbled upon the location of the artifact site, and found that there were a lot of other artifacts left over from the warehouse, he would have gone to the same place again soon.

With such a judgment, Casimo began to track them in order to steal his relics.

Then he searched for the ruins and ambushed him, as if the child was Akira.

Quasimo was going to grab Akira and make him spit out of that place.

But it was bad for the battle to inadvertently kill Akira, so the battle stopped.

So they followed Akira's trails until they found the location of the artifact, and they changed their course.

But again they wonder if this is the case.

"Hashem. Even if it's a child who isn't even armed. Will still do their best.

Be careful not to kill them unintentionally. Just be careful, preferably in a simple and easy way?"

There was no response from Hashem.

Cassimo looked at Hashim in surprise and surprise.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Hashem's voice to himself was heard.

“...... There was only 1 small child...... How is that possible?"

"There's only one person, right? I don't see where else to hide. ”

Feeling incredulous, Quasimo used his favorite binoculars to look around Akira's neighborhood again.

The binoculars are quite high-performing, allowing you to see clearly and clearly in high resolution even from a great distance.

In addition, it has a function to correct images as if it were daytime even in the middle of the night, and a function to recognize invisible light and see through simple optical camouflage.

It also has the function of identifying and emphasizing forms such as people and monsters.

Many high-performance binoculars also have a network capability that captures and displays augmented reality information transmitted by the site.

But these telescopes don't have these features.

Cassimo had experience in the past being reused by mechanical monsters.

As a result, the figure of the enemy that can be seen in normal times was erased by the image processing, and he almost died.

Because of the painful experience, all binoculars which I handled locally now use favorably.

As a result of this painful experience, Cassimo now prefers to use binoculars in place for everything.

"No, there's no monster around, just the little ghost. ”

Hashem's expression was distorted, and he felt a little unspeakable.

"Ah, well, I'll tell you first, I didn't take any medicine, I wasn't drunk, and I wasn't going to laugh at you. ”

"So what? What's wrong with you??"

“...... Next to the child, there was a woman. ”

"Women?"

Surprised, Casimo reconfirmed.

But the terrible man is not in sight.

"No, only children, no women. ”

“...... I know, you can't see it, right? I can see it. A very beautiful woman who has been leading the way for the little ghost since just now. ”

"Then tell me about the woman's dress, it's very detailed. What dress?"

“...... Wearing a white dress that looks expensive. ”
