294 シロウの驚愕
現在車両内への唯一の出入口となっているA7貨物室に、車内の制圧と襲撃犯達の撃退を請け負った新たなハンターチームが到着した。一つはタツカワとメルシアが率いるチーム。もう一つはゼロスが率いるチームだ。
タツカワが意気を上げて調子良く笑う。
「全く、初めから俺達を護衛に雇っていれば、こんな事態にはならなかったってのに、判断が遅えっての。なあ、メルシア」
「一応私達のところにも輸送の時点で護衛依頼の話は来てたじゃない。報酬の折り合いが付かなくて流れたけど」
「......そうだっけ? でもまあ報酬の折り合いが付かなかったってのなら、向こうの落ち度だろ?」
「あんたが私とやってる最中に結構急ぎの感じで話が来て、私は受けても良いって言ったけど、あんたが面倒臭がって報酬を雑に釣り上げたんでしょう。俺の楽しみを中断させるつもりならもっと支払えって感じでね」
そう指摘されてタツカワはその時のことを思い出し、ごまかすように笑った。そこでメルシアが少し楽しげな顔で続ける。
「まあそのお陰で、あんたが雑に釣り上げた割り増し報酬で改めて依頼を受けられた訳だから、結果としては良かったのかもね」
「だ、だろう? よし! 始めよう! 割り増しさせた報酬の分、しっかり働かねえとな!」
車両内に進もうとしたタツカワを、メルシアが
め息を吐いていたが、意識を切り替えて話に入る。
「もう良いか? じゃあ制圧区画の割り当てだが......」
ゼロス達とタツカワ達は同じ依頼を受けているが個別に動く。指揮系統も別々だ。互いの人数や力量、そして求める成果などによる
しかしゼロスがここで追加の調整内容を出す。
「理由は不明だが、あのアキラが車内にいるらしい。アキラと遭遇した場合、対応はそちらに頼みたい。知ってるだろうが、俺達はあいつといろいろあったんでね」
結果的にはゲルグス達はアキラに敗北し、アキラには関わらないとしたゼロスの判断が正しかったこととなった。しかし決定的な対立による離反ではなく、離反の時点ではどちらの判断も間違ってはおらず、その片方を選択した仲間達ということもあり、ゼロス達は今もゲルグス達に十分な仲間意識を持っていた。ゲルグス達が勝っていれば、ゲルグスをチームのリーダーとして、チームの再編成も十分に可能な状態だった。
よって仲間を殺したアキラに対するゼロス達の感情は、敵対に傾いている。アキラに非は無いと理解していても、ハンターの倫理としてアキラへの報復は筋違いだと分かっていても、だからといって友好的にはなれない。よってアキラとの不用意な接触は避けておきたかった。
メルシアもゼロスの心情は理解した。その上で、
「良いんじゃねえの? あいつとまた会ったら、ちょっと話でもしたいと思ってたしな」
「まあ、あんたがそう言うのならそれで良いけど」
「悪いな。助かる。それじゃあ、始めようか」
準備を済ませた両チームは、車内の制圧をそれぞれ開始した。
「油断大敵よ? あんたは調子に乗りやすいんだから」
「いやいや、最近は大丈夫だろ? そりゃ以前は調子に乗ってたけどさ、あれは多少調子に乗るぐらいの勢いが無いと成り上がるなんて無理だから、
「それなら、油断しないでね。また一から一緒に成り上がっても良いけど、二度手間でしょう?」
2区画を制圧して3区画目の制圧作業中のタツカワは、再び多脚機の群れを撃破した。今までと変わらない余裕の勝利だったのだが、その顔は険しい。
「......妙だな。メルシア。どう思う?」
すぎる。倒された連中がどこにも転がってない。変だろ」
元々の警備部隊、そしてその敗北後に投入された討伐部隊が、襲撃犯と既に交戦している。それならば、破壊された多脚機の残骸や、倒された部隊員や襲撃者達の死体が車内に転がっているはずだ。しかしここまで制圧を進めても、それらがどこにも見当たらない。タツカワはそこに違和感を覚えていた。
「キューブ保管用の特殊格納庫の設置場所はダミー含めて12箇所。あくまでも外部の人間である私達はそこまでしか教えてもらってないけど、元々の警備部隊や襲撃犯達、輸送会社直属の討伐部隊は正解の場所を知っているはず。ここまでその連中の死体が転がってないのは、主な戦闘が正解の場所の周辺で行われているからで、私達がまだその戦闘域まで
「こっちも状況は同じだ。車内に転がってるのは俺達が倒したやつだけ。襲ってくるのは手応えの無い多脚機だけで、襲撃犯らしいやつとの遭遇も無しだ」
「ところでアキラとは遭遇したか?」
「......そうなると、そっちの懸念通り、確かに妙な状況だ。仮にメルシアさんの推察通り、襲撃犯の連中は車両の奥、キューブの格納庫付近に陣取っていて、多脚機はそいつらが威力偵察目的で放った物だとしても、俺達がこれだけ遭遇してるんだ。俺達の前に車内に入ったアキラも当然遭遇するだろうし、倒してるはずだ。その残骸を、俺達はどうして発見できない? 多脚機はアキラを襲わなかったとでも? それは
したアキラに、アルファが軽く言う。
坂下重工に手配してもらったアキラの新装備は、最前線向けの武装だけあって非常に高価、かつ危険物だ。キューブの格納場所と同じぐらい安全な場所とまではいかなくとも、相応に安全な場所に積み込む必要がある。そのような場所は複数の
で強化、封鎖されており、アキラが車内に入ったA7貨物室以外からの出入りは不可能だ。
また、あくまでも外部の人間であるアキラは、車両に入る許可は得たものの、立ち入りを禁止されている場所も多い。更に車両の
その兼ね合いで、アキラは本来なら別の出入口からすぐに到達できるB28貨物室へ、非常に遠回りを強いられていた。
アルファはそれらのことをアキラに軽く説明してから、付け加える。
『それを期待している誰かがいたとしても、私達はそのような依頼を受けていないわ。気にせずに荷物を持ってさっさと帰りましょう』
アルファが笑ってそう言うと、アキラも機嫌を戻して軽く笑う。
により情報遮断体と化していた扉の隙間から向こう側の情報が流れ出し、アキラの拡張視界を更新する。その途端、アキラは警戒を一気に高めた。すぐ近くに人の反応があったのだ。
「誰だ!」
アキラは相手の反応を促す大声を出し、その上で開きかけの扉の陰にいる相手が飛び出してくるのを狙うように照準を合わせる。相手が無反応なら敵と
アキラがアルファに視線を送り、それを受けてアルファが車両のマップ情報に付属している識別コードを短距離通信で発信した。すると相手からも同様の識別コードが発信される。
「......襲撃犯じゃないようね。今から出るけど、撃たないでよ?」
アキラが銃を下ろす。するとそれを確認したような僅かな間を開けてから、扉の陰から相手が出てきた。その相手の姿を見たアキラが少し驚く。出てきたのはアキラと同世代に見える少女だった。
少女もアキラを見て驚いたような顔を浮かべていた。どこか
「......一応聞いておくけど、あのアキラって、どのアキラだ?」
「あの元500億オーラムの賞金首のアキラ」
「......そのアキラだ」
「あー、その、ついていって良い? 私一人で車内を移動するのは不安で......」
仲間達と一緒に襲撃犯の討伐依頼を受けたのだが、逆に返り討ちに遭い、手痛い被害を受けて仲間とも
よ! 邪魔なんてしないわ! あ、私はレベッカよ。よろしくね」
「そうか。俺はアキラだ」
初対面で相手が自分の名前を知らない時にする軽い返事をしたアキラに向けて、レベッカがアキラの隣で楽しげに笑う。
アキラは苦笑を返して先を急いだ。
そう指摘されたアキラはレベッカの装備を改めて見てみた。レオタード型の強化服は一部用途不明の穴が開いていて肌が露出している。その上に着用しているドレスのような防護コートには大きなスリットが入っていた。どちらの装備も旧世界風の扇情的なデザインだ。背中から伸びている複数の補助アームの先には、小型のレーザー砲が取り付けられていた。それとは別に少し大きめの銃も持っている。
「なあレベッカ。その装備、旧世界製か?」
「そう見える?」
「そう? ありがと。まあ厳密には違うんだけど、なかなか
「襲撃犯と戦って返り討ちにされたって言ってたよな。どんなやつと戦ったんだ?」
「レーザー砲を搭載した多脚機よ。多分襲撃犯が持ち込んだ物だと思うわ。強い上に数も多くて......」
く弱いんだけど、また襲撃されてもアキラの邪魔だけはしないように気を付けるわ」
嫌みや見下した発言に捉えられてしまったと思ったアキラは、それだけ答えた。また自分はアルファから認められるほど強くなった上に、レベッカにはアルファのサポートも無いのだから、自分の感覚を基準にして敵の強さを判断してはまずいのだろうと考え直した。
「ごめん。勝手についてきた分際で嫌み言っちゃった。襲われて死にかけたし、仲間の安否も分からないし、思った以上に余裕が無いみたい。悪かったわ。でも戦闘になったら私もアキラの邪魔をしないようにちゃんと戦うつもりなのは本当よ。それで勘弁して」
それでアキラも気を緩めた。
「分かった。俺も変に疑って悪かった。自分の荷物を取りにきただけなのに厄介事に巻き込まれた
「荷物を取りに来たって、どういう意味?」
「そのままの意味だ。ああ、俺は襲撃犯の討伐が目的じゃなくて、荷物を取りにここに入ったんだよ」
「俺にも、事情が、あるんだよ」
そのアキラの態度を面白く思ったレベッカが思わず楽しげに笑う。
アキラがごまかすように足を速める。レベッカは笑いながら小走りでアキラの隣に並んだ。
レベッカと一緒にB28貨物室を目指すアキラが、多脚機の集団に再び襲われる。アキラだけでも倒せる相手の上に、今はレベッカも一緒にいる。全く問題無く撃破した。
「ああ。大したもんだ。強いんだな」
アキラはそう同意を示しながらも、どこか難しい顔をしていた。レベッカが少し不服そうな顔をする。
「いや、そうじゃなくて、レベッカはそんなに強くて仲間もいたのに、襲撃犯には勝てなくて逃げるので精一杯だったんだろう? もっと強いやつが別にいたのか?」
レベッカは僅かな動揺を見せていた。それをアキラが不思議に思っていると、アルファから注意される。
『アキラ。今は襲撃犯の方は気にせずに、アキラの装備を取りに行くことに集中しましょう。襲撃犯に関しては、襲われたら倒す、今はそれで十分よ。襲撃犯の討伐はアキラの仕事じゃないわ』
まずは装備だと、アキラもそれで気を切り替えた。
「あれっ? 変だな」
操作を誤ったかと思い、拡張視界上からの操作ではなく、情報端末を取り出して手でしっかりと操作して扉に開く指示を送信する。だが扉からはエラーが返ってくるだけだった。アキラが頭を抱える。
「どうなってるんだよ......」
扉を破壊する訳にもいかない。一度戻ってブリュンケルの部隊の者に事情を話し、何とかしてもらう必要がある。アキラがそう思いながら振り返り、嫌そうな顔を浮かべた。ここまで来るのにもそれなりに苦労したのだ。最低でも2往復、問題が解決するまで何往復もするのは嫌だった。
『シロウ。ちょっと良いか?』
『何だ? 何かあったのか?』
路の意味を理解していなかった。だがシロウにその意味を尋ねるのも不自然に思い、アルファに対処を頼んでからシロウに返事をする。
シロウがアキラの旧領域接続者としての回線に入り、周囲のシステムにそこに自分がいるように介入する。そして扉が開かなかった理由をすぐに調べ上げた。
『認証エラーが起きてるな』
ったはずだぞ? 区画の扉も開いたし......』
『そのB28貨物室は貴重品を積んでるだけあって、他の場所より認証レベルが高いんだ。開閉許可を持っていても、許可の無い同行者がいると開かないようになってる。そこにアキラ以外に誰かいるな?』
『いや、その開閉許可コードは一度認証エラーが起きたら無効化されるやつだ。この認証方式だと一度戻って解除してもらうか、コードを再発行してもらわないと駄目だな』
ってるんだろ? 俺が開けてやるよ。こういうのは得意だからな』
『任せろ。どうだ。俺がついてきておいて良かっただろう?』
シロウがアキラのキャンピングカーの中から早速作業を開始する。
『......このシステムだとドアの開閉処理に手を加えるより認証コードを偽装した方が早いな。アキラ。情報収集機器をちょっと借りるぞ。そのレベッカってやつの認証コードを作るのに、そいつの認識用の情報が必要なんだ』
『壊すなよ?』
Ch 294
Two groups of Hunters just arrived in the cargo sector A7. This was the sector that had become the only way in and out of Atlas D2771. They came to secure the inter-city transport vehicle and eliminate the attackers. One of the teams was headed by Tatsukawa and Melshia, while the other team was led by Zelos.
Tatsukawa seemed fired up as he heartily laughed.
"Good grief, if only they had hired us to escort the inter-city transport vehicle itself. This would not have happened. Now, they're calling for us when it's already too late, am I right, Melshia?"
"The offer did reach us before, though. In the end, we could not agree on the reward they offered."
"...It did? But well, if we could not agree on the reward, then it was still their fault, right?"
"The offer came in a rush. We were going to do it when it came. I did say that I don't mind accepting it, but you got a little annoyed and demanded a huge amount, remember? Saying something like 'they should have offered at least this much for interrupting our good time'."
Tatsukawa finally remembered what had happened after Melshia pointed it out. He was only able to laugh awkwardly as he tried to move away from this topic. Noticing his obvious attempt, Melshia giggled and spoke.
"Well, thanks to that, they eventually agreed to hire us with a huge amount. So, it was not all that bad."
"R-right!? Alright then, let's get started! With how much we were offered, let's do this seriously."
As Tatsukawa was about to enter the inter-city transport vehicle, Melshia suddenly grabbed and stopped him.
Zelos, who had been listening to their conversation, sighed and changed the subject.
"Are you done now? Well then, about the sectors that our respective teams will secure..."
Zelos' team and Tatsukawa's team were hired separately. Therefore, their chain of command was not the same and they were moving separately. To make sure there would not be any conflicts between their teams, including gaps between firepower and contribution to this mission, it was important to discuss everything beforehand.
That was when Zelos suddenly added one extra condition.
"I don't know all the details, but it seems like Akira is inside Atlas D2771 as well. In the scenario we somehow encountered him, I want you to handle the talking. I'm sure you already know that my team has a history with him."
Gelgus' death and his team's defeat simply showed how Zelos' prediction about Akira was right. It was unfortunate that both sides could not peer into the future and knew about this outcome. Thus, it could even be said that both sides had their own valid reasons which caused the team to split into two factions. Since they did not split up because of a fight, Zelos still recognized Gelgus as well as those that left the team under Gelgus as his friends. Had Gelgus won against Akira, it was highly likely that the split teams would merge back again. Though, at that point, the leadership would shift to Gelgus.
It was only natural that Zelos would be hostile against the person who had killed Gelgus and destroyed his team. Although they had no wish to harm Akira, and they knew that as Hunters, taking revenge on him would be misplaced vengeance, that did not mean they could just forgive him. As such, Zelos wanted to keep his team away from Akira as much as possible.
Melshia understood that as well. However, she still threw a question to Zelos.
"There should be no problems accepting his condition, don't you think? I've also always been wanting to talk to him if I ever get the chance since that day."
"Well, if you say so, then I don't mind."
"Sorry and thank you. Now that's out of the way, let's get started."
After both teams completed their preparations, they stormed the transport vehicle and started securing the insides.
"Danger comes soonest when it's most despised, you know? You always get ahead of yourself too quickly."
"No no no, I'm doing better lately though. Back then, I only did that because we wouldn't be able to succeed unless I got a bit reckless, you know?"
"If you really mean it, make sure to not drop your guard. I don't mind starting from zero again in a new team, but that would be a lot of work, right?"
Tatsukawa's team, which had secured two sectors and was in the middle of securing the third sector, once again encountered a swarm of the multi-legged drones. Although it was another easy victory for him, Tatsukawa felt something was off. His expression turned solemn.
"...This is strange, Melshia, what do you think?"
"The hallways and rooms are way too pristine. There's no wreckage left by the drones. Isn't that weird?"
There was an original escort team that was sent inside to secure Atlas D2771. Thus, there had to be some signs of battle against the attackers. This meant that there should be pieces of the multi-legged drones on the ground, if not, corpses of the deceased team. However, even after they had already gone this deep, they have not encountered anything like that. As expected, Tatsukawa found that to be worrying.
"Including the dummies, there are 12 special sectors designed to house the cube inside Atlas D2771. Although that is all that they can share with us since we're basically outsiders, I bet the original escort team, the attackers, and the original suppression team affiliated with the transport knew of the correct location of the cube. So, it is possible there are no leftovers around because the battles only occurred near the sector housing the cube. We might still not be there yet. Or at least, that is just my guess. Do you have any other possibilities in mind?"
"The situation is the same for us over here as well. The only ones on the floor are the ones that we have defeated. So far, we've only encountered those weak multi-legged drones. We have not found anything that might be from the original attackers."
"By the way, have you encountered Akira yet?"
"...Then I'm afraid it is as you feared. Something is indeed not right. Even if Melshia-san's guess is correct, that the attackers were gathered somewhere near the sector where the cube is stored and that these multi-legged drones are only sent for reconnaissance, we've encountered so many of them. Akira and the other Hunters who went in before us must have encountered them as well. So, why don't we find any leftovers from them? Does it mean that Akira did not encounter them? That is highly unlikely."
After Akira leaked his complaint, Alpha casually stated.
The new equipment that Akira had ordered through Sakashita Heavy Industry was all frontline equipment. Naturally, they were expensive and extremely dangerous. Although there was no need to keep them in a secured sector, as secure as where the cube was kept, they were still located inside a sector that was more secure than the other normal sectors. Such a sector was protected by multiple layers of forcefield armour and was located deep inside the transport vehicle.
However, the attackers were also inside the transport vehicle. To prevent them from escaping outside Atlas D2771, they strengthened the already powerful forcefield armour. Excluding the A7 cargo sector where Akira entered the transport vehicle, there was no other way to get out of the vehicle. Thus, it effectively locked the attackers inside the transport vehicle.
As an outsider, Akira had received limited permission thus, his access was strictly limited. He was not allowed to go into most of the sectors. Furthermore, with strengthened forcefield armour, some of the sectors were even rendered completely inaccessible.
Because of all these factors, although sector B28 was easy to reach from another exit, Akira had to go through a rather long route to reach it.
After Alpha explained all these points, she then elaborated further.
"Even if someone hoped that you would do that for them, you didn't receive such a request. So, let's not worry about it. You just need to pick up your stuff, and get out of here as soon as possible."
Alpha smiled as she spoke. Hearing that, Akira's frown vanished and was replaced by curved lips.
Akira pushed that thought aside for now and just focused on reaching the cargo sector B28. As he reached the door to the next sector, he readied his rifle and cautiously opened the door. The power forcefield armour turned into a layer that was impermeable to information. Thus, when Akira slightly opened the door, information from the inside of that sector started leaking out. It was quickly analyzed and displayed in Akira's enhanced vision. Immediately, he tensed up. There was a signal indicating someone else was nearby.
"Who's there!?"
Akira raised his voice, prompting a reaction from this unknown person. He rested his fingers on the triggers, ready. With his rifles positioned, he waited for the moment this person jumped out from behind the door. If there was no answer, then Akria would consider that signal hostile. The time limit Akira gave before he began to take the initiative to attack, was immediate once the door was fully open.
Akira glanced at Alpha, so she broadcast using a short-range communication frequency Akira's identification code, which was provided with the map information he had received. A moment later, the other person also sent back their identification code.
"...It seems like you're not one of the attackers. Okay. I will step out, so don't shoot, alright?"
Akira lowered his rifle. After a short pause, as if they were confirming the situation, the other person stepped out from behind the door. Akira was a bit surprised to see it to be a girl that looked around the same age as him.
The girl also seemed surprised when she saw Akira. She fearfully asked.
"...Just to be safe, which Akira is 'that Akira' you're referring to?"
"The one that had a 50 billion Aurum bounty on him."
"...Then yes, I am that Akira."
"Uhh, uhmm, can I come with you? I don't feel safe going around alone inside the transport vehicle, so..."
The girl stated that she originally came here together with another team to secure the transport vehicle. However, they were ambushed by the attackers.  She got seriously injured and got separated from the rest of her team. Currently, she was in the middle of escaping. Once she explained her situation, she asked Akira for a favour.
"Of course! I will never do something like that! Ah, by the way, my name is Rebecca, nice to meet you."
"Right, I'm Akira."
As Akira gave the expected reply to people who just met each other for the first time, Rebecca walked next to Akira and giggled.
Akira bitterly smiled and rushed ahead.
After Alpha gave her warning, Akira glanced at Rebecca and scanned her equipment. She was using an augmented suit that looked like a leotard with some holes on it. The holes seem to have some unknown function other than needlessly showing skin. Furthermore, she was using a dress with a large slit, which was her defensive coat. Both were of the old-world design. She was also carrying a rather large rifle with her.
"Rebecca, that equipment, are they old-world equipment?"
"Do they look so?"
"Is that so? Thanks. But they are not. Though, they are still pretty powerful."
"You said that you fought the attackers and got defeated right? So, what kind of enemies did you fight?"
"Multi-legged drones equipped with laser cannons. I bet they were brought here by the attackers. Not only are they strong, but there were also billions of them..."
"Well, that would explain everything. But don't worry. Although I'm super weak compared to you, I will at least make sure not to get in your way if we get attacked."
Akira thought that he made a mistake there since he ended up saying something that sounded like reproach with a hint of mockery. Thus, he only managed to awkwardly reply with that short 'okay'. Moreover, he had become strong enough for Alpha to admit it. Furthermore, Rebecca did not have Alpha's support. Thus, he reflected on his evaluation and believed that it was awful of him to use the strength of the enemy to evaluate someone else's fighting capability.
"Sorry, I said something rude. You are the one allowing me to come along with you. Though I almost got killed during the fight and I'm worried for the rest of my team as well. So, I guess I'm a little bit more stressed out than I thought. Yeah, sorry. But I was being honest when I said that I won't get in your way and help you fight too if we got attacked."
Akira lowered his shoulders.
"Okay, I'm sorry for suspecting you. I think I got a little bit paranoid since I'm only here to pick up my cargo. Instead, I got roped into this troublesome mess."
"Pick up your cargo? What do you mean?"
"It's exactly as you heard. Ah, right. I'm not here to secure the transport vehicle, I'm here just to get my stuff."
"I have my reasons, alright?"
Rebecca found Akira's attitude amusing and giggled.
Akira paced his steps faster; Rebecca was still giggling as she lightly jogged to follow next to him.
On their way to cargo sector B28, Akira and Rebecca once again encountered a swarm of multi-legged drones. Akira was able to handle it all by himself. Therefore, now that he had an extra helping hand from Rebecca, the swarm did not give them any trouble at all.
"Yeah, not bad at all, you're pretty strong."
Although Akira agreed with her statement, he had a conflicted expression on his face. Naturally, Rebecca noticed it.
"That's not it. I just thought that although you have other allies who are more or less as strong as you, you still couldn't win against the attackers. You've just only barely managed to escape, right? Or are there other stronger enemies present?"
Rebecca was visibly flustered. Akira did find that strange and Alpha immediately warned him.
"Akira, let's forget about the attackers and just focus on getting your new equipment. As for the attackers, we will take them down if they try to attack you. So, there's no need to think too much about them. In the first place, your main goal here has nothing to do with eliminating them."
His equipment came first, Akira reminded himself.
"Hm? That's weird."
Akira thought he must have made a mistake. Thus, instead of inputting the data through his enhanced vision, he pulled out his information terminal and sent the procedure to open the door through the terminal. But unfortunately, the door only returned an error message and would not open. Akira rubbed his head and mumbled.
"What the heck is going on...?"
Akira turned around and knitted his eyebrows. It was not easy to get here. At the very least, he would have to go back and forth once. Now, no one could say how many round trips he would have to make until he could open the door. Naturally, he really did not want to go through all this hassle.
"Shirou, are you free right now?"
"What is it? Did something happen?"
Akira had no idea what Shirou was talking about, but since it would be weird for him to ask Shirou, he confirmed with Alpha first before replying.
Shirou dove into Akira's old-world connection as an old-world connector and put himself in the system, making it as if he was there. It did not take long for Shirou to notice what was wrong.
"It says that it can't confirm the code you gave."
"I did get the permission, though? The code was able to open the door to the other sectors as well..."
"Sector B28 seems to house really valuable cargo, so its security level is much higher than the other sectors. Even if you have permission to open it, if you're going in together with someone else without permission, the door will not open. Are you there with someone?"
"No, once that code gives an error, it is rendered invalid. Judging from the identification method, you will either need to return back to have it unlocked or to get another unlock code."
"But you do have the permission, right? Don't worry, I'll open it for you, I'm actually pretty good at this kind of thing, you see."
"Yeah, just leave it to me. Aren't you glad you did not leave me behind and brought me along with you?"
From inside the camping vehicle, Shirou immediately got to work.
"...With this system, it's easier to fake an identification code instead of hacking the locking system. Akira, I'll be borrowing your information-gathering device. I need the information used for the identification code to create a fake identification code for that girl, Rebecca."
"Don't break it, okay?"
