クガマヤマ都市は周辺に多数の遺跡がある関係で、多くのハンターの活動拠点となっている。下位区画にはそのハンター向けの店も多い。
その中にカートリッジフリークという
今日もいつものようにカウンターで店内を眺めながら客を待つ。すると見覚えのない顔が入店してきた。子供だ。一応ハンターに見える程度の武装はしているが、服はスラム街の住人にしては小奇麗という程度で、大して強そうにも見えない。真っ当な客として扱うべきかどうかを外見の印象だけで判断すれば、少々微妙だ。
子供は店内を珍しそうに見渡している。シズカはその様子を
『......こっちとこっちは何が違うんだ? 値段だけか?』
素人目には同じ外見、だが値段だけが倍近く違う銃を見比べて、アキラは不安混じりの
『いろいろ違うのよ。細かく説明しても良いけれど、その辺は後にしましょう。アキラには分からなくとも、私がちゃんと選ぶから安心しなさい』
念話による会話のおかげで、アキラは店内で虚空と話す不審者になるのは免れていた。しかし無意識に視線をアルファに向けてしまっていた。
シズカがそのアキラの様子に気付いて首を
カウンターにやって来たアキラに、シズカが愛想の良い笑顔を向けて接客を始める。
「いらっしゃい。初めてのお客さんよね? カートリッジフリークへようこそ。私は店長のシズカよ。どんな御用かしら」
「AAH突撃銃と弾薬、整備ツールをセットでください。あと、買い取りもお願いします」
アキラがカウンターに銃を置く。遺跡でアキラを襲った2人組の装備品だ。
シズカはそれらの状態などを調べ終えると、助言を兼ねて一応確認を取る。
「買取品にAAH突撃銃も混ざっているけど、新品に買い換えるの? 確かに整備状態が随分悪いけど、
黙って買い換えさせた方が店の売上げになる。それを分かった上で助言するのはシズカの性分だ。
『大丈夫よ。買い換えて。銃本体の単純な性能よりも、アキラでも問題なく使用できることの方が重要だからね。AAH突撃銃の方も、これから訓練も兼ねて使い込むのだから、誰かの癖が付いているものより新品の方が良いわ』
「大丈夫です。買い換えをお願いします」
「分かったわ。それなら......、買取額と相殺して10万オーラムになります」
アキラは支払いを済ませた後、封筒内の残金を見て少し複雑な思いを抱いた。受け取った時、手が震えたほどの大金は、既に残り6万オーラムまで減ってしまった。20万オーラムは
シズカがカウンターに注文の品を置き、客への愛想と自分の店の商品への自信を笑顔に込めてアキラに向ける。
「こちらが御注文の品になります。良かったら商品の説明を聞いていく? 意外と中途半端な知識で使っている人も多いから、聞いておいて損は無いわよ。ちょうど暇だったし、たっぷり語ってあげるわ」
たとえそれが客向けのものであっても、自身に向けられた
「えっと、お願いします」
「よし。AAH突撃銃は多くのハンター達に愛用されている傑作銃よ。東部で出回っている銃の中でも歴史が古くて......」
シズカは満足そうに笑って説明を始めた。大分暇だったのか、その手の話が好きなのか、少し得意げに
アキラが少し考える。回復薬なら遺跡で手に入れたものが残っている。その効果から値段を推測し、手持ちでは買えないと結論付けて、自分でも買えそうで必要なものを思い浮かべる。
「それならハンター用の服とかありますか?」
ハンター向けの店で服と言えば、基本的に戦闘服を意味する。耐刃、耐圧、防弾機能等を持つ防護服や、人工筋肉等で身体能力を上げる機能を持つ強化服などだ。少し申し訳なさそうなシズカの様子に、アキラが少し慌てて首を横に振る。
「あ、そうじゃなくて、その、丈夫で荷物を運びやすい服です。あとリュックサックとかもあれば......」
「ああ、そういうこと。......あれは確か子供用のサイズじゃなかったけど、調整すれば多分大丈夫か。ちょっと待っていて」
シズカが一度店の奥に行き、アキラの要望の品を持って戻ってきた。服とリュックサックだ。服は簡易装甲を貼り付ける種類の防護服だが、装甲は全く付いておらず、現状では少々頑丈な服でしかない。型落ち品で売り物にならず、リュックサックと一緒に倉庫で
むシズカに、アキラも少し顔をほころばせると、丁寧に頭を下げた。
帰っていくアキラを笑いながら軽く手を振って見送り、その姿が見えなくなった後で、シズカはその表情を少し心配そうに曇らせた。
「子供のハンターか。彼はいつまで生き延びられるのかしらね」
でさえ死にやすい。子供ならば
シズカの店を出たアキラは荒野で訓練の準備を始めていた。先ほど買った服に着替え、購入したばかりのAAH突撃銃を取り出し、一緒に買った弾倉を装填する。
モンスターとの交戦を前提に設計製造された銃は想像より重く、弾倉に詰められた銃弾の重量も加わって更に重くなる。その重みに今後のハンター稼業を、モンスターとの戦闘を僅かだが実感し、自分の命を預ける銃を真面目な顔で感慨深く握り締めた。
そのアキラに、アルファが少し真面目な顔で、アキラの心情など全く考慮していないことを尋ねる。
『アキラはああいう女性が好みなの?』
『その銃を買った店の店長のことよ。名前はシズカだったわね。アキラ、かなりデレデレしていたでしょう?』
アルファにとってアキラの女性の好みは重要な情報だ。だが今は追求するだけ無駄だと判断し、話を切り上げる。
『分かったわ。始めましょう。アキラ。早速銃を構えて』
アキラが銃を構える。至極真面目に構えたのだが、銃の訓練など受けていないので正しい構えなど分からない。その
『うん。まるで駄目ね。ちゃんと銃を体に固定すること。こうよ』
アルファが手に映像だけのAAH突撃銃を表示すると、それを構えて手本を見せた。
服以外も表示できるのかと、アキラは少し驚いた。だが姿を自在に変えられる以上、別に不思議は無いかと思い直し、手本を見て銃を構え直した。
その後、構えの細かい不備を何度も指摘される。腕や脚の位置の調整から始まり、体全体の力の入れ具合による重心の微妙な調整まで、徐々により細かく指摘される。最終的には両足の親指の微妙な力加減まで指摘された。
見た目からは分からない力の入れ具合を、なぜそこまで細かく正しく指摘できるのか。訓練に必死なアキラはそれに気付けなかった。
構えの訓練だけで1時間が経過する。アキラはまだ1発も撃っていないのに既に大分疲労を覚えていた。しかし疲労の
『よし。そんな感じよ。今の構えを意識しておいてね。次は、今からあの小石を撃ってもらうわ』
アルファがアキラの前方を指差す。アキラはその方向を凝視して、顔を
「あの小石って......、どこだよ」
抗議の口調と視線を向けてきたアキラに、アルファは不敵に
に思いながらも、言われた通りにそちらに視線を向ける。すると視界に長方形の枠が現れた。緑色の枠の中には同じく緑色の円形が表示されている。思わずその部分を注視すると、高機能な双眼鏡の自動拡大機能のように、視点周辺部が拡大表示された。驚きで凝視を止めると、拡大表示は元に戻った。
「アルファ!? 俺の視界が何か変になったんだけど、何かしたのか!?」
アルファがアキラの反応に満足げに
『私のサポートでアキラの視界に拡張機能を追加したのよ。活用して目標の小石を探しなさい』
アキラの視界に赤い点が現れる。そこを注視すると、再び部分的に拡大表示された視界の中に、赤く縁取りされた小石を見付けた。ただしかなりぼやけていた。
『裸眼だと拡大表示にも限界があるから、今度は銃の照準器を使いなさい』
アキラが銃の照準器越しに先ほどの小石を探そうとする。しかし照準器越しの視界は狭く、しかも小石はその視野の外にあるので、見付けるのは非常に困難だ。
すると視界の右端に小石の位置を示す印が現れた。その方向に照準を少しずつ移動させると、視界に先ほどの小石が現れる。更に銃口から青い線が小石に向かって伸びていた。
『その青い線は私が算出した弾道予測の線よ。目標にその線を合わせて引き金を引けば、高確率で命中するわ』
青い線は不規則に揺れ続けている。アキラはそれを目標の小石に何とか合わせようと努力して引き金を引いた。発砲音が響く。銃撃の反動がアキラの体勢を崩す。銃口から勢い良く撃ち出された弾丸が、大気を
『弾道予測であって、予知ではないからね。実際の弾道は計算外の事象によって大きく変化するわ。主な原因は発砲時の体勢の崩れよ。教えた銃の構えを意識して、しっかり狙って撃ちなさい。実戦ではあんな小石ではなくモンスターを狙うのよ。目標の急所に的確に命中させて、可能な限り即死、最低でも行動不能にさせないと、反撃で殺されるわ。外せば死ぬ。それぐらい集中して撃ちなさい』
アキラは集中して目標を狙い続けた。だが一向に当たる気配が無い。それどころか照準器越しの景色に着弾の跡が無い。大きく外れている証拠だ。構えが崩れるたびにアルファから指摘が飛び、構えを直して撃ち続けた。
その訓練を1時間ほど続けた頃、照準器越しの景色に着弾の跡が
「なあアルファ。ちょっと思ったんだけどさ。今やってる視界の拡張とか、念話とか、もっと前から出来なかったのか?」
アキラにとっては雑念からふと浮かんだだけの、たわいの無い疑問だった。だがアルファは返答内容によっては不要な不信を生むと判断し、変わらない
「あー、確かに、そんな気がする」
アキラは納得して
『もっと遠慮無く感謝してくれて、具体的な行動で返してくれても良いのよ? 例えば、もっと命中率を上げるとか、もっと私の色仕掛けに引っかかるとかでね?』
アキラが引き金を引く。弾丸は目標を大きく外れた。
訓練は日没近くまで続けられた。アキラの射撃の腕はそれなりに上昇した。アルファのサポートを前提にして、100メートル先のそこそこ大きい石を的にしっかり狙えば、百発一中ぐらいの確率で命中するようになった。
翌日、アキラは部屋でAAH突撃銃の整備を続けていた。これも訓練だ。銃の正しい整備方法など知らないので、アルファから事細かに指示を受けながら念入りに作業を進める。
『当面、この銃がアキラの生命線よ。この銃の整備を軽んじることは、自分の命を軽んじることでもある。そう考えて、しっかり整備しなさい』
何度も注意を受けて、悪戦苦闘しながら、真面目な顔で作業を続ける。銃を分解して全ての部品を念入りに整備する。そしてばらばらになった部品を元の銃に組み立て直す。すると部品が余った。慌てて銃を再度分解して組み立て直す。先ほど余った部品は正しく銃に収まったが、今度は別の部品が余った。
余った部品を見て
『この銃をこの状態で使用するのはお勧めしないわ』
再び銃を分解して組み立て直した。今度は部品は余らなかったが、正しく動作するかどうかは別であり、当然指摘が入った。その後も悪戦苦闘を繰り返し、何とか銃の整備を終えた頃には既に半日が過ぎていた。
「この調子だと。予備の銃とか手に入れたら整備だけで一日が終わるな」
『そこは訓練で手早く効率的な整備の腕を身に付けるしかないわ。整備に出す金も無いしね。よし。今日の訓練は終わりよ』
『私と出会ってからアキラは遺跡探索と訓練しかしていないからね。息抜きも必要よ。アキラは何かしたいこととかある?』
「したいこと、か」
アキラが少し考える。だが何も浮かばなかった。スラム街で過ごしていた時は、空き時間は
宿の雑貨屋で数冊のノートと筆記用具を購入し、それらを教材にしてアルファから読み書きの授業を受ける。アルファの教え方は非常に効率が良く、アキラも
くすると自分の名前の読み書きぐらいはすぐに出来るようになった。
A lot of Hunters made Kugamayama City as their base of operation since there were a lot of ruins around it. As such, there were a lot of shops aimed for Hunters in the lower district.
Among all of these shops, there was a general shop called Cartridge Freak. It sold all kinds of things like guns, ammo etc for new and veteran Hunters. The shop was not bad for it to go down anytime soon, but at the same time it was not prosperous enough to open a second shop. It was common to find such a shop in the lower district.
It was just a boy. Although he looked like a Hunter, he was wearing a dress mostly worn by people from the slums and he did not look that strong. Judging from his outer appearance, Shizuka was not sure if she should serve him as a precious customer or not.
The boy looked around him as if he found himself in an unknown place. Looking at that, Shizuka just observed him carefully. Only after she decided that the boy was not there to steal anything from her shop that she lowered her guard and gave a friendly look.
"...What is the difference between this one and this one? Is it only their prices?"
Both guns looked the same for beginners. But for Akira, after seriously comparing both guns, he could only tell that they had a small difference in price. It was visible that Akira was really anxious as he hung his head low. After all, he was about to buy a gun that he would use to bet his life in the future with the money that he got from risking his very own life. If he ended up buying a bad gun, not only would it make his work as a Hunter more difficult, it would also make him regret it to no end.
"They have a lot of differences, I don't mind explaining it to you in detail, but let's do that later. Don't worry, even if you don't really understand, I'll properly pick a good gun for you. So leave this to me."
Thanks to the telepathic communication, Akira did not like a retard talking to himself, but his eyes still inadvertently moved toward Alpha.
Shizuka realized that strange behavior as she tilted her head.
As Akira approached the counter, Shizuka changed to a friendly smile and welcomed Akira.
"Welcome, this is your first time here, right? Welcome to the Cartridge Freak. I'm the Manager Shizuka, how can I help you?"
"Can I please get a maintenance kit, AAH assault rifle and some bullets. And also, I want to sell a few things."
Then Akira put 2 guns on the counter, those were the guns that he took from Hayya and his friend.
Shizuka checked the condition of those 2 guns, after that, she asked Akira for a confirmation.
"One of the guns is an AAH assault rifle though? Are you sure you want to buy a new one? It is indeed in a bad shape, but rather than selling it and buying a new one, you can still fix it with a maintenance kit. Moreover, this AAH assault rifle is of higher quality, are you sure you want to sell it?"
Just shutting up and continuing with the business as usual would give Shizuka more profit, but she asked for a confirmation out of her kind nature.
"It's okay. Sell it and buy a new one. After all, rather than quality and power, it's more important to get a gun that you'll have no problem using. As for the AAH assault rifle, I'll train you to use it from now on. So it's better to buy a brand new one compared to a gun that someone has used before."
"It's okay, please proceed with the selling."
"Alright then, in that case... Deducting from the guns that you sold, the total will be 100,000 Aurum."
After he finished the payment, Akira looked at the remaining money inside his envelope while looking rather conflicted. His hands were shaking when he was handing over the money, and now his balance was already down to 60,000 Aurum. 200,000 Aurum was a small amount of money, he made a bitter laugh as he now understood the meaning of Alpha's words.
Shizuka put all the stuff that Akira bought on the counter, she then made a smile which was a mix of a seller smile and a smile of confidence on her own goods.
"These are the goods that you requested. If you want, I can give you explanations too. There are unexpectedly many people out there who are using these weapons with half-baked knowledge, you know. It's not like you'll lose anything by hearing my explanation, and not to mention that I have nothing to do right now, so I can give you a detailed explanation if you want."
Even if that was just a formality toward a customer, Akira was taken aback by that kindness that was shown to him. And then Akira told himself an excuse by saying that it might be helpful and decided to take that offer.
"Well, uhh, yes please."
"Alright then, AAH assault rifle is the favorite rifle for the Hunters. Among all the guns circulating in the eastern district, it's the oldest gun..."
Shizuka smiled happily as she started her explanation. Whether it was because she was so bored or because it was a subject that she was an expert with, she continued giving her explanation skilfully.
This made Akira think for a bit. If it was about the healing potion, he still had some medicine that he had found in the ruin. He then guessed how much such medicine would cost judging from its effectivity and decided that it was not something that he could buy with the amount of money that he had at that moment. But then he started thinking of things that he might need and could buy here.
"In that case then, do you have clothes for a Hunter?"
When it comes to clothes for Hunters, it usually means armor for battle. It includes armor with particular functions like slash-resistant, pressure-resistant or bulletproof armor. As for the augmented clothes, these were clothes that augment their user's physical strength by artificial muscles. Since Shizuka looked like she was feeling sorry, Akira was fl.u.s.tered a bit as he immediately shook his head.
"Ah, that's not what I meant, uhh, I mean clothes that look sturdy and easy to move with. And also I would take a rucksack too if you have one..."
"Oh, that's what you meant, huh... I do have some but it's not for children size, I think it will be alright after I modify it a bit, wait for a sec, okay?"
Shizuka went inside the shop and returned with the goods that Akira asked, clothes and a rucksack. It was just a coat with armor pieces spread in some places, although it had no worth as an armor, he only had nothing but that to use at the moment. While the rucksack was an old dusty rucksack that you cannot put out as an item to sell.
Since Shizuka was smiling gently at him, Akira smiled back and bowed.
Shizuka kept waving her hand at Akira as he was leaving the shop. But once she could not see Akira's figure anymore, her expression turned worried.
"A kid Hunter, huh. I wonder how long he will survive."
Working as a Hunter was really dangerous, you could be killed anytime, even more so when you are a kid. And not to mention that Akira did not seem like he had any experience in using anti-monster guns. Shizuka could see that through her experience.
Akira went straight to the wasteland to prepare himself for training right after he left Shizuka's shop. He changed to the dress that he bought, took out his brand new AAH assault rifle and loaded it with the ammo that he bought together with the gun.
Guns made to fight monsters were heavier than Akira thought and it got heavier with the ammo loaded inside it. It reminded him of what was in store for him as a Hunter, i.e. fighting monsters. And so, he strongly squeezed the gun that he would be trusting his life to with a serious face.
Looking at that, Alpha's face turned serious, she then asked a question to Akira ignoring what he was feeling at that moment.
"Akira, was that girl from before your type?"
"The manager of that gun shop. Her name is Shizuka, isn't it? You were fl.u.s.tered and all over the place, you know?"
As for Alpha, the girl type that Akira liked was important information for her. But she judged that it was useless to pursue that subject further, so she changed the subject.
"I understand. Let's start, Akira, get your gun ready."
Akira's expression turned solemn, but since he had no training in using a gun, he did not know how to properly ready his gun. As such, he could only imitate vague images from his memories.
"Yep, that's no good at all. You should stabilize the gun with your body, like this."
Alpha made an image of AAH assault rifle on her hand and showed a pose on how to hold it.
Akira was rather surprised since he never thought that Alpha could make other images beside her cloth. But then he realized it was not that strange after all and he fixed his pose by looking at Alpha.
After that, Alpha pointed out the important places that were not satisfactory. From adjusting Akira's arm and hip position, explaining where he should put his power and weight. Then she moved to a more detailed explanation on how much power he should put on his thumb.
Akira was so focused on his training that he did not realize something strange, how in the world did Alpha know where he put his strength in his body by only looking at him?
That pose training took 1 hour, even though Akira did not even shoot a bullet, he already felt so tired. But that was not for nothing, thanks to the detailed explanation from Alpha, Akira's pose was surprisingly better compared to before.
"Nice, that's good. Remember your pose just now, okay? Next, you will shoot that small boulder over there"
Alpha pointed her finger to the front of Akira. Akira focused his eyes trying to look at what was in front of him. Alpha was actually pointing at a small boulder 100 meter in front of him, but there was no way Akira could see that.
"That small boulder...? Which one exactly?"
Alpha just smiled when Akira protested and looked at her.
Akira was a bit puzzled as he looked back to where Alpha was pointing. But when he did that, suddenly a box frame appeared and there was a circle inside that frame. And when he inadvertently focused his gaze on that circle. His vision zoomed in to that point as if he was using a long range vision device. Akira was so surprised and stopped focusing, thus his vision immediately turned back to normal.
"Alpha!? Something strange happened to my eyes, did you do something!?"
Alpha laughed with satisfaction seeing how Akira was reacting.
"I added long range vision support to your vision. So use it to find the small boulder."
A red point appeared in Akira's vision. When he focused on that point, his vision zoomed in again like before and he could see the red circle around a small boulder, but it was still blurred.
"There's a limit on how much you can zoom in with n.a.k.e.d eyes. Try to do it again with the rifle's aiming device."
Akira then tried to look for the small boulder from before through the aiming device of his rifle. But his line of vision through the aiming device was really narrow and the small boulder was outside its range. It was impossibly hard to find that boulder.
But then suddenly an indicator appeared in his vision. When he moved his aim slowly to that indicator, he found the small boulder from before. Moreover, a blue line extended from the gun's muzzle.
"That blue line is the approximation of the bullet's path that I calculated. If you align that line with your target and pull the trigger, there's a good chance that it will hit perfectly."
The blue line was shaking randomly. Akira tried hard to align that line with the small boulder and pulled the trigger. A gunshot echoed, the kickback from the gun threw Akira's small body into disarray. The bullet spewed out from the muzzle, flew at high speed tearing through the air.
"It was only an approximation after all, not a prediction. So the bullet path would change greatly from external factors. Just now, the biggest external factor was change in your pose. Remember to keep your pose, take a good aim, then pull the trigger. At a real battle, you will take aim on a monster rather than on a small boulder. Do your best to hit your target and kill it in one shot if it's possible. In the worst case scenario, at least you should neutralize enemy's movement with that shot or they will shoot you back and kill you. You'll die if you miss. You should keep that in mind when you shoot."
Akira kept shooting at his target while putting all his focus on aiming. But it did not seem like any of his shots would hit the target anytime soon, or more like, none of his shots landed near his target. Most of his shots missed the target badly. Every time his pose was broken, Alpha would tell him to fix his pose and shoot again.
Only after he was doing that for 1 hour did he start to see bullets land in his field of vision through the aiming device. And also, all the tiredness piled up until that point started to disrupt his focus. Then from all the built up stress, a question came up in Akira.
"Say Alpha, I've been thinking, you know. Things like these telepathic communication and zoom vision, you could've done it sooner, right?"
For Akira, it was just a random question that came up in his mind. But Alpha judged that depending on her answer, it could be a seed of distrust between them. And so she chose her words carefully while still smiling.
"Ohh, you're right."
Akira was convinced by that answer as he nodded. After confirming that, Alpha continued her explanation.
"No need to hold back, you can be more thankful, you know. You may even express it with real action. For example, you can work hard to increase your accuracy, or you can take the bait better when I seduce you, you know?"
Akira pulled the trigger, but again the bullet missed the target so bad.
His training continued until the sunset. Akira had gotten better at shooting. With the help from Alpha's support, he could at least hit 1 out of 100 shots when aiming for a medium sized boulder 100 meters away from him.
On the next day, Akira did some maintenance on his AAH assault rifle inside his room, this was also a kind of training for him. Since he did not know how to properly do gun maintenance, he did the maintenance with Alpha's instruction.
"At the moment, this gun is your lifeline. If you take maintenance of this gun lightly, it means that you're taking your own life lightly. You should keep that in mind and take good care of this gun."
Akira was giving his best doing maintenance with a serious look while getting a lot of warnings from Alpha. He disassembled the gun and individually did maintenance for all the small components. But when he assembled the gun that was in pieces, he was left with some leftover pieces. As such, Akira reassembled the gun again in panic. Although the piece that was left last time was properly assembled into the gun, there was another different piece leftover in the end.
As Akira let out a sigh seeing the leftover piece, Alpha just smiled at him and gave him a warning.
"I don't recommend using this gun in this condition."
Akira then disassembled the gun one more time and reassemble it. This time, he had no leftover piece, but the gun was not functioning. Of course Alpha gave him some hints after that. Akira then continued his hard battle, and when he finally finished his maintenance, it was already afternoon.
"At this rate, if I get a spare gun, I would take 1 whole day just to do maintenance on them."
"About that, you have no other choice but to keep training so that you can do the maintenance with higher accuracy and speed. After all, we don't have any money to spare for maintenance. Alright then, we'll conclude today's training with this."
"Since we met, you've done nothing but exploring the ruin and training, after all. A change of pace is important, do you have anything you want to do, Akira?"
"Something I want to do, huh?"
Akira tried to think of something, but nothing came up. When he was in the slum, he used his free time for collecting metal pieces and sold them for money. For his current condition, that would be equal to exploring the ruin.
Akira then bought a notebook and writing tools from the inn's general shop and used them for learning how to read and write from Alpha. Alpha's teaching was very effective, it did not take long before Akira became able to write his own name.
Akira was finally able to recognize that his name was written wrongly.
