‘Pretend you don’t know and run away. Then you will save me.’

Those words ring in the mind.

In the end, the recruitment offer was only a side note. What is important is the front part.

You told me to run away, and then you said you’d save me… .

He’s thinking of killing everyone but me.

That Luddite gang leader, who called himself Ned Rudd, said it himself. It is unlikely to be empty or bluff.

He’s supposed to kill the rich lady Alexandra, and deal with all the witnesses in the process.

With only seven people, I wonder how they plan to kill not only the lady and bodyguards, but also dozens of Ronins armed with various types of cyberware.

There must be a way to do that.

After a brief conversation and psychological warfare, they were by no means an easy match.

In a short span of time, he had a brain that was clever and crafty enough to read my heart, and even had a ferocious momentum that seemed to have engulfed hundreds of people.

General Ned Rudd’s position was not won by slapstick. The opponent was truly the head of a terrorist group.

“… .”

I rolled my eyes, pretending to be troubled, and looked at the main table. I understood the situation of the senior bartenders.

Tony is putting on a flame show in front of the Ronins.

It is very impressive to light blue flames on his alcohol-stained fingers and spit out the dragon’s breath.

It’s a nice fire show, but I don’t think it’s going to help much against the Luddite gang. roughly passing by

On the other side of that… there was sei

The head bartender of Dragon’s Rare.

An unidentified strongman presumed to have a high-power implant that amplifies the speed so much that it is invisible to the naked eye.

She was also brewing cocktails.

Various transparent alcohols are mixed in a mixing glass, and, as always, he quietly casts his gaze with his cold gray eyes.

It passes as if our eyes met, as if we did not meet.

My mind was complicated.

As long as the dragon boss hasn’t returned yet, she was the only one she could trust.

But it seems like he doesn’t really care about what’s going on here, so it’s embarrassing.

Are you unaware of the seriousness of the situation? Or is this not a big deal?

there was no way to know

If what she has is the high-speed cyberware I know, or if it’s not, if it’s a mod with similar properties… .

Seira is a superhuman beyond imagination.

Even with my sensitive senses, I can see everything that happens at the bar as if I had it in the palm of my hand.

That’s probably why the guests can see through hidden weapons like ghosts, and for a similar reason, they’d find out much sooner than I did that they were members of the Luddites.

Still, what is the reason for not doing so?

I remember a conversation I had with her the other day at the Iceberg ground bus stop.

When I thanked him for saving me, Say calmly spit it out.

“The captain asked me to help you.”

“Is that why you saved me?”

“There is that too. I thought if your hand was cut off, the floor would be dirty with blood. I hate dirty things.”

I’m not even sure if I’m joking or serious because I’m talking without a face.

With an awkward face, Sei added to me as I was contemplating whether to smile or not.

“I don’t like seeing people I know very well die.”

“… .”

“But don’t think it will be like this every time. From now on, you’d better not expect my help. After all, I am not a security guard, but a bartender.”

At that moment, oddly enough, I was stuck in the vocabulary of a certain part of her words and only thinking about it.

‘A person with a face… .’

Somehow, those words don’t come out of my ears.

If it feels like it’s not the face we’ve seen together over the past few days, but something we’ve met a long time ago, is it because of our mood?

Every time I see Say, I ponder over the strange sense of dread I feel.

If I’ve met such an impressive person before, I can’t forget it.

Strangely, I can’t remember, but I think we’ve met before.

It must have been that those gray swirling eyes and dark blue hair had passed as if from somewhere.

Without realizing it, I opened my mouth impulsively.

“we… Where have you seen them?”

If someone you didn’t know had heard it, they would have thought it was a cheap work comment.

As soon as I said it, I regretted it.

While avoiding the staring gaze at me, Sei said.

“It’s surprising. I thought you would remember.”

“… !”

Looking at me, who raised my head in surprise, Sei spit out the smoke that was in his mouth.

On the control panel of the lights spread out around it, there is a faint stain.

“When and where did we meet?”

She answered, staring at the center of the city, like a luminous beehive that crumbles away in the distance.

“If you don’t remember, I don’t even have to tell you. It would be better for you to keep forgetting that as well. Don’t bother thinking about it.”

I couldn’t answer that at that time.

… And now, the situation facing the Luddite gang. Say doesn’t move.

I said that it would be better not to expect help from now on.

Are you trying to prove for sure that those words are true, or are you even testing me?

Like last time, if one of your limbs is about to be amputated, if you are about to die, will you save me only then?

Either way, the help of others should be regarded only as a last bulwark or support. You can’t just believe in it.

The decision is ultimately mine, and I have to take full responsibility for the choice I make.

“Aren’t you thinking too long? I can’t give you that much time. We are busy people.”

Ned Rudd whispers again.

I bit my lip and took a step to the side.

Can not help it.

If even the microchip in my head reacted, I would try to attack it somehow, but that wasn’t the case.

Without the action of cyberware, I was just an ordinary person who didn’t even know how to fight.

There is nothing I can do about the gang terrorists in the present situation.

“… It would be right to solve problems between guests. I won’t watch any more. Have a good time.”

Then, Ned Rudd’s eyes follow my movements towards the warehouse behind me at a quick pace.

As he said, he seems to be satisfied with seeing him run away, but at the same time, he seems to be somewhat regretful and dissatisfied.

And again, the bodyguards and Alexandra’s eyes staring strangely at me, who suddenly left my seat after whispering a few words to the factory worker.

Ned Rudd said, ‘Kids, let’s go.’ Finally, as I moved closer to the guards, I closed the door and entered the warehouse completely.

“…after.”

Standing in the middle of the dreary furnishings warehouse, I let out a heavy breath.

So let’s get started.

Naturally, I’m not a child, and I didn’t come here with the intention of hiding in the warehouse and waiting for work to be finished.

I didn’t even want to run away. If I was going to run away, I would have gone all the way to the back door of the staff break room.

Tyrick.

Turn on the cyberwatch and access the bar’s security system with site manager privileges.

A closed-circuit camera screen that illuminates the corner hall table is displayed as a hologram.

The video not only shows the real-time scene, but also the sound is captured.

[These bastards have a swollen liver. Where on the bottom garbage topic… .]

Seeing the Luddite gang members wearing suspenders and tool belts approaching with squiggles,

The bodyguard got angry and threw his sunglasses aside.

When one hand was pushed in with the red glowing electronic eyes, the shape of the arm changed along with a squeaky sound.

A silver blade that elongated in all directions, and a blazing fire in the center, a literal hand cannon cannon.

As he was about to unleash his power, Ned Rudd, the crouched man, stood in front of the bodyguard, stroking the silver cannon.

[…] !]

[Not bad. Nice, aged looking. But it takes too long.]

Because of the difference in physique, the voice came from about the chest.

The bodyguard, who instinctively lowered his head and waved his arms, became paralyzed and frozen.

[I don’t have a hobby that kindly waits for someone to make a glamorous transformation.]

One hand grips the blade cannon, and the other hand places a hand on the bodyguard’s chest.

In the suit, a bright blue light flashed over the prominent pectoralis major muscles.

A high-voltage current bursting from the tip of a forked finger violently burns down a vital point near the heart that can kill a person at once.

His big body trembled, and with a rattling noise, he could not pulse and collapsed with his eyes overturned.

Another security guard rushes in frightened, but the Luddite gang members who jump out from behind stop them all at once.

It does not stop at simply blocking, but also encircles them in an instant, immobilizing them.

The bodyguard swung his fist and blown away one of the gang members, but in the meantime, he did not hesitate to poke through the revealed gap.

In a short period of time, it is attacked several times by cyberarms that have turned into awls, tools, and the blades of the soles of the feet.

The bodyguard shouted, dripping blue blood.

[miss… These guys, never—.]

He was probably trying to say that he was never a factory worker.

Ability to unwittingly dig into gaps in bodyguards who would have invested a significant amount in remodeling their reactive nerves,

In addition to the harmonious movements and the radicality that stabs others without hesitation.

It would be absolutely impossible for all ordinary factory workers.

However, it was not very meaningful to announce that.

In an urgent situation that happened in an instant, Alexandra could not come to her senses and only had her eyes wide open.

Even while his body was drenched in body fluids, the bodyguard kicked another gang member with his foot, and the bodyguard, who was trying to give information to his owner, leaped from behind and was caught by Luddite’s clinging head.

Hammer Tattoo When I pulled my wrist out of the obscured arm, a long thin thread was connected between them.

When I pulled the transparent shiny wire around my neck, my hair fell down without a single blood splatter. A clean machine cut is revealed.

[Kukkkuk, bastard, look behind you with a blank expression on your face.]

The Luddite gang kicks the bodyguard’s head as he rolls with his mouth open like a soccer ball.

I was watching all of that.

One eye sees the inner situation,

With the other eye, looking at the arrogant weapons of the Ronins that had been moved to the warehouse.

It was still within the expected range. Yes, the Luddite gang I know, and moreover, a group led by a chieftain should do that.

Moreover, the bodyguards were so vigilant that it is not at all strange to be hit so quickly.

‘The commander has a built-in high-voltage current shock device, the subordinates add a hand blade and a nail gun to the basic cyberarm, and even illegally modified single-molecule wire… .’

I figure out their armed status, compare it with what I remember, and think of countermeasures.

This weapon, that weapon, and armor.

I need to find what I need and have the minimum requirements.

Until then, he couldn’t fight the Luddite Gang.

After everything is ready… Well. After that, you will have to judge the situation carefully.

Still staring at the inside of the bar with cold eyes.

I wish I could take a little more time.

Did my wish come true?

Fortunately, the atmosphere was not going too one-sided.
