185 制約外のモンスター

再び仮設基地に来たアキラが弾薬を補充していると、キバヤシから連絡があり食堂に呼び出された。
「やっと終わりか」
しそうにしやがって。結局お前は最後までそんな態度だったな」
アキラのハンターランク調整依頼は今日で終了。キバヤシにとっては残念な、アキラにとっては待望の知らせだった。
アキラは先日の苦戦もあり、
のランク上げ依頼をそんな理由で切り上げさせるのはお前ぐらいだ。お前らしいと言えばお前らしいのか」
キバヤシはどこか楽しそうにも見える苦笑を
「最終日ぐらい派手に暴れてほしいってのが俺の本音だが、残念ながらそれも無理そうだな。お前は今日は基地周辺の警備を割り当てられている。まあ、その辺で適当にだらだらしていてくれ」
「そんなので良いのか?」
遺跡探索は晴れの日に。それが東部の常識だ。情報収集機器等の精度が著しく低下する上に有視界戦闘すら制限を受ける雨の日に、好き好んでモンスターと戦う者はいない。
重要拠点を天候に
アキラが仮設基地の周辺、遺跡と荒野の境目辺りをバイクで進んでいる。その後ろには無人の小型トラックが続いていた。アルファはトラックの屋根付きの運転部の上に座っていた。
トラックの荷台には仮設基地で保管していた弾薬類が大量に積まれていた。先日の戦闘でバイクに搭載できる弾薬量に強い懸念を抱き、弾薬運搬用と割り切って荒野仕様の小型トラックを購入したのだ。
トラックは武装も索敵機器も積んでおらず装甲も大して厚くない。現在のアキラの装備には似つかわしくない性能だ。弾薬類をバイクで運ぶよりはまし。その程度の性能しかないその場
『危険に備えて、その危険がなくなったから費用が無駄になったのなら、それは歓迎するべきよ』
『それもそうか。......ん?』
アキラが弱い雨粒に気付いて空を見上げた。そこには晴天を遮る分厚い雲がどこまでも続いていた。
アルファが運転席の天井を落ちるように擦り抜けて助手席に座ると、運転席を指差してアキラを呼ぶ。
『そうだな。......ん!?』
空を見上げていたアキラが
東部で空を飛ぶと、上空の強力なモンスターを呼び寄せる恐れがあり非常に危険だ。アキラはそれを思い出して戸惑いながら飛行物体を見ていた。
次の瞬間、仮設基地の地対空兵器車両から発射されていたミサイルが、アキラの視線の先を飛ぶ航空輸送機らしきものに命中した。輸送機が爆発し、宙
このままだと自分の近くに落ちてくる。アキラはそう理解すると、バイクを加速させて落下地点から慌てて離れた。
自由落下を続けていた巨大な人型が地面付近で急ブレーキを掛けたように減速する。そして地面すれすれで一瞬滞空したように静止した後、その質量に見合った地響きを立てて着地した。
その光景を驚きながら見ていたアキラにアルファが叫ぶ。
バイクのA4WM自動擲弾銃から無数の小型ミサイルが発射される。アキラもSSB複合銃を巨大な人型に素早く向けると、引き金を引き続けて大量の銃弾を放った。
人型が着弾の衝撃で崩れた体勢のまま、両腕の砲から巨大な砲弾を
く人型に着弾した。ミサイルが穴だらけになった装甲の隙間から潜り込んで内部で爆発する。人型が肉片と機械部品になって四散し、一帯に血液を思わせる体液を飛び散らせた。
アキラがそれを見て表情を大きく変える。
『人型ではあるけれど、暴食ワニに近い系統のモンスターのようね。重装強化服を着た巨人を想像すれば近いかもしれないわ』
『何でそんなものが空を飛んでるんだ!?』
アキラが混乱、困惑している間に、上空から無数の爆発音が響く。反射的に上を見ると、無数の似たような飛行体と、それらを撃ち落とそうとしているミサイル群の光景が広がっていた。
無数の輸送機型の飛行体は様々なものを
ミサイルから逃れた飛行体はそのままクガマヤマ都市へ向かっていく。そして撃ち落とされた輸送機型から巨大なモンスターが次々に落下していた。
アキラは周辺に降り注ぐそれらを見ながら非常に険しい表情で固まっていたが、貸出品の端末から派手に響く緊急通知音で我に返った。通知内容を確認したアキラの表情が更に険しくなる。
『帰投せずにできる限り応戦しろ、か』
『アキラ。応戦するにしても、まずは遺跡の中に移動よ。ここだと良い的だわ』
られていた大型モンスター達は落下しても多くが無事だった。それらのモンスターは着地後に都市方面には向かわずに遺跡側に戻ろうとしていた。
アキラがバイクを遺跡に向けて走らせる。
『......これ、下手に基地に戻らない方が安全か?』
『予備の弾薬もトラックに積んであるしね。アキラ。準備しておいて良かったわね?』
「主任。また何かやったんですか?」
ヤナギサワが意図的に意外そうな表情を浮かべた後に、笑って首を横に振った。
「......主任の仕業じゃないとすると、本当の襲撃ですか。飛行型も混ざっていますし、実は結構危なかったりします?」
「いや、多分大丈夫だ。敵の規模や強さが中途半端な点が少々気になるが、仮設基地や都市が潰されるような事態にはならないよ」
東部の上空は強力なモンスターの領域であり、東部での輸送を陸路に頼る理由の一つでもある。飛行型モンスターは基本的にそれほど強力な存在だ。
だ。要するに上空はその防衛システムの管理領域ってことだ。そのシステムが本気でクガマヤマ都市を潰しに動いたのなら、この程度の生ぬるい戦力にはならない。つまり、今回の襲撃はその防衛システムとは無関係だ。だから飛行型の戦力はそんなに高くない。まあ高くないと言っても、上空の基準での話だがな。それでも都市の防衛隊で十分迎撃できる程度だよ」
「しかし飛行体は遺跡の奥から来ているようです。つまり防衛システムから飛行許可を得ていることになります」
「......だから普通はあんな中途半端な規模や強さにはならないんだがな。そこがちょっと気になるところだが、まあ、都市の脅威にはならないことに違いはない」
部下の男はかなり驚いていた。ヤナギサワの話は東部の一般的な知識から大分逸脱していたからだ。
「......分かりました。それで、俺達はどうします?」
「そうだな。各自の判断で仮設基地と後方連絡線の防衛に当たってくれ。後方連絡線の防衛線は上空からの襲撃に対応していない。適当に援護してやれ」
「その指示内容ですと、あいつがあの機体を勝手に動かす気がしますが、あいつは待機にしておきますか?」
「ん? いや、好きにさせてやれ。あの機体が遺跡の奥部でも通用するか近いうちに確認する予定だったんだ。ちょうど良い機会だ。大型モンスターを狩らせてその確認にしよう」
(......連中の仕業ではないはずだ。連中は自身の制約を解除できないはず。可能だとしても極めて困難で限定的なもののはずだ。飛行型を勝手に飛ばすなんてできないはずだ。それが可能なほどに制約から抜け出したのなら、仮設基地もクガマヤマ都市も既に壊滅している。......時間はまだまだ残っているはずだ)
強力な権限を持つ管理人格ほど強力な制約に縛られている。管理するものが広大で強力で重要なほどに、制約も多く細かく強くなる。ヤナギサワはそれをよく知っていた。
ヤナギサワは湧き出た懸念を否定すると、表情を普段の笑顔に戻した。
崩れかけたビルの側面をアキラがバイクで駆けている。その後を追うように大量の弾丸がビルの側面に着弾し続けている。
アキラを襲っているのはウェポンドッグの亜種のような大型モンスターだ。6本脚の巨大な犬の背中から人型兵器の上半身が生えている。その上半身に頭部はなく、代わりに巨大な多砲身機関砲が生えている。両腕も同様だ。それらの砲身を勢い良く回転させて、大量の銃弾を放っていた。
無数の巨大な銃弾を浴び続けたビルが穴だらけになり倒壊を始めている。アキラはそのビルの側面を駆け上がって敵の銃の可動域から逃れると、バイクを急旋回させながらSSB複合銃を構えた。
敵を倒してもアキラの表情は険しいままだ。
『これで5体目だ! 多い! 強い! クズスハラ街遺跡の外周部にいて良いモンスターじゃないだろう!』
少し離れた場所から爆発音が響く。別の場所にいた大型モンスターに、バイクのA4WM自動擲弾銃から発射されていた大量の小型ミサイルが一斉に着弾したのだ。爆炎と
『これで6体目よ。アキラ。大分消費したから補給して』
『了解!』
予備の弾薬を積んだ小型トラックはアルファの運転でモンスターから逃げ続けている。アキラは敵にトラックを破壊されないように敵を倒し続けていた。
アキラはビルの谷間に隠れていたトラックに急行する。そして荷台の手前で急停止すると、急いで荷台から小型ミサイルの大型弾倉を取り出して装填作業に入った。
その作業の途中でアキラが駆け出す。途中でSSB複合銃の弾倉を交換しながらビルの谷間から出ると、SSB複合銃を素早く構えて引き金を引いた。
『前のようにミサイルを大量に発射されたら困るでしょう? その予防よ。あの個体にはミサイルを発射する機能はなかったけれど、それを確認する時間があったら倒した方が早いわ。そんなことより補給を急いで。8体目が近いわ』
トラックに戻ったアキラは補給作業を急いで終わらせた。そして休む暇もなく再びバイクに乗り、8体目の迎撃位置に向かった。
『気にせずに倒しましょう。一部が人型だからって、撃ちにくい訳ではないでしょう?』
気を取り直して狙いを定め、引き金を引こうとしたアキラの指が止まる。既に降っていた雨の勢いが急に強くなったのだ。遠景が大雨に飲まれて鮮明さを急激に失う。雨粒が敵の姿を覆い隠していく。
『......この雨って、色無しの霧に似た効果もあるんだよな。アルファの索敵を考えれば、有利になったって考えて良いのか?』
『索敵に限れば少しはね。でも銃撃時の距離による威力減衰も大きくなったわ。有効射程がお互いに縮まって近距離戦を強いられることを加味すれば、状況は悪化したとも言えるわ』
アルファのサポートのおかげでこの大雨の中でも敵の姿を視認はできている。アキラは険しい表情で引き金を引いた。
き飛ばされた衝撃で四散した雨粒が空中に弾道の線を描く。その線を描く弾丸がモンスターの装甲を貫いて内部に到達した。
被弾したモンスターが即座に反撃に移る。巨大な砲塔を勢い良く回転させて大口径の砲口をアキラの方に向けると、敵がいる可能性が高い場所へ荒い照準で砲撃した。
大口径に見合った巨大な砲弾が高速で豪雨を突き破り衝撃波で雨粒を吹き飛ばす。降り注ぐ雨の壁を貫通して巨大な弾道の大穴を開けながら直進し、アキラから少し離れた場所の廃ビルに着弾した。砲弾の爆発がビルを倒壊させていく。
ませながらも、色無しの霧を含んだ大雨の影響で敵の照準精度はかなり悪いと判断してそのまま銃撃を続行する。徹甲弾がモンスターに次々と着弾して装甲に穴を開け続ける。
モンスターが被弾のたびに僅かに
『弾切れは期待できそうにないわね。アキラ。一度引いて。別方向から距離を詰めて攻撃よ』
少し離れた場所で退避していたバイクがアルファの運転で近付いてくる。アキラがバイクに飛び乗ってその場から離脱する。その直後、砲撃を受けたビルから落下した
Ch 185
Deep inside the Kuzusuhara ruin, Tiol was having his meal, or to be more precise, collecting more resources. His face was filled with pain.
Tiol ate all kinds of weird things, like the wreckages of dead monsters, carcasses of dead biological monsters, rubbles from buildings, Hunters along with their equipment.
He did not really care that much back when his consciousness was still a part of the system. But now that he had regained his consciousness, he also regained some of his humanity. As such, he could not help but get bothered when he ate raw meat, scrap metals, and rubble. He would have chosen to eat rotten leftovers given the chance, but this was torture that surpassed common sense.
If he let the system take over, it might be easier for him. But if he misjudged how much of his consciousness was to be relinquished to the system, there was a chance that his mind would be once again drowned by the system. Tiol, who understood that very well, made sure not to cross the dangerous line while harvesting resources.
Every time he took a bite of the carcass, it sent an unpleasant sensation throughout his body. Every time he tore off a metallic scrap with his jaw, he could not help but feel terrified of himself for being able to do it. He kept telling himself that he had no other choice but to do it in order to replenish his ammo and to reach his goal. He cursed the situation that he was in as well as everything that led him into that situation.
Akira had returned back to the forward base in order to replenish his ammo when he received a call from Kibayashi to meet him in the cafeteria.
"It's finally done, huh!"
"Dammit, you look so happy. You really hated this job until the very end, huh?"
Akira's request to increase his Hunter Rank ended that day. For Kibayashi, it was bad news, but of course, for Akira, it was great news.
After all, Akira had a hard fight just the other day. As a matter of fact, he used that as an excuse to buy expensive expendables without even glancing at their prices. He basically filled the warehouse of the forward base with the expensive mini-missiles and anti-forcefield armour magazines.
"Good grief! You're basically the only Hunter that I know who would make the City Management cancel its Hunter Rank-up request for a trivial reason like that, you know. Though, to be honest, that's so like you."
Yatsubayashi glanced at Akira and sent a bitter smile, although, there was also a bit of delight too in his smile.
"To be honest, I was hoping that you would do something crazy on your last day. But unfortunately, I guess that won't happen now. Starting from today, you're assigned to guard the forward base. Well, you can just randomly roam around the forward base."
"Is that good enough?"
It was common sense in the eastern district to only go explore the ruin when the weather was clear. After all, not only did rain reduce the sensitivity of the information-gathering devices, it also reduced the Hunters' visual range. No one would go picking a fight with the monsters in that situation out of their own volition.
The City Management made sure that all the important points had enough guards to hold on their own in any weather. Of course, their budgets were already decided beforehand. And in the case if they employed a high-ranking Hunter, the City Management would have to pay a lot of money for that Hunter. Now that Akira had raised up his rank considerably, the City Management had no budget left to employ him.
Akira was driving his bike around the forward base. Behind him was an unmanned truck. Alpha was sitting leisurely on top of the covered truck.
The truck was filled with ammo taken from the forward base. After the last fight, Akira was worried if he would run out of ammo in the middle of a battle again, thus he decided to splurge his money on a small truck.
The truck itself was not armed and not well armoured. It was basically the polar opposite of Akira who was armed to the teeth. The only thing that he considered when choosing that truck was whether it was better than carrying the ammos using his bike.
"If the money you spent to prepare yourself for a danger turned out to be unneeded, it's something that we should be happy about, right?"
"Well, you have a point there... Hm?"
Akira noticed the falling droplets and looked up, it had started raining lightly. He could see the sky blocked by a thick cloud.
Alpha passed through the ceiling of the truck and dropped to the driver assistant's seat of the truck. She then pointed at the driver seat and called Akira.
"Good idea... Hm!??"
Akira, who was still looking up at the sky, noticed something. He spotted something flying under the thick cloud.
Akira remembered that a flying object in the eastern district would attract powerful monsters that roamed the sky. So he continued to stare at that flying object with a stern expression.
Right at the next moment, Akira noticed missiles flying past him, which went straight for that aircraft. Those missiles came from the anti-air tanks posted in the forward base. The aircraft was hit with explosives and fell down together with the humanoid robot.
At this rate, they would crash close to him. So Akira accelerated his bike and immediately evacuated from the crash point.
The aircraft that was falling free under the mercy of gravity suddenly slowed down as if it pulled the brake right before it crashed into the ground. After floating a few centimetres above the ground, it landed with a loud bang.
Akira watched that scene unfold with wide eyes, but Alpha suddenly shouted at him.
The A4WM automatic grenade launchers fixed on Akira's bike immediately released mini-missiles. Akira reacted accordingly by pulling his SSB multi-weapon and immediately emptied its magazine at that humanoid robot.
The shockwave from the bullets threw the humanoid robot off-balance, but that did not stop it from releasing shots accompanied by loud bangs. One of the warheads went straight at a building, blowing off the half-crumbled building into smithereens in one shot. While the other warhead travelled astray into the wasteland before landing with a loud explosion.
While Akira was in the middle of shooting the robot, the missiles that were launched first finally reached their target. They slipped through the holes on that robot's armour and exploded, blowing its mechanical part to pieces and releasing its body fluid that looked like blood from its body container.
Akira who saw that raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"It's still a type of humanoid weapon, but its species is much closer to the greedy crocodile. You can just think of it as a heavily armed powered suit."
"So what is that thing flying in the sky?!"
While Akira was still confused. Another round of explosions burst on top of his head. When he looked up, he could see multiple similar aircraft flying in the sky as well as the missiles that were trying to shoot them down.
Those aircrafts were not only carrying similar humanoid monster that Akira defeated just now, but they also carried other types of monsters. Although they were of different species, all these monsters shared the same characteristics, all of them were gigantic with abnormally thick armour and powerful weapons.
The aircrafts that the missiles missed just went past the forward base and headed straight to Kugamayama city. While the transport aircraft that got shot down unloaded their cargo one by one.
Akira stood frozen as he watched the destroyed aircrafts and monsters that were raining down from the sky with a stern face, but the blaring alarm coming from the terminal lent by the City Management pulled him back to reality. As he checked the contents of the notification, his already tense face turned even sterner.
"It's telling me to fight the best I can without going back to the base."
"Akira, whether you plan to fight them or not, we should go into the ruin. This place is no good."
Although the missiles were able to shoot down some of the aircrafts, the huge monsters that those aircrafts carried were mostly able to land on the ground just fine. But after they landed, those monsters immediately headed back to the ruin instead of going in the direction of Kugamayama city.
As for Akira, he rode his bike and paced it toward the ruin.
"...In the worst-case scenario, isn't it safer if I go back to the base?"
"You have your ammo here with you. Aren't you glad that you decided to take them with you?"
"Commander, did you do something again this time?"
Yanagisawa looked surprised, but it was obvious that he was acting. He then smiled and shook his head.
"...But if it's not your doing, then it's purely an invasion, huh? With aircrafts too, this might be pretty dangerous, no?"
"Nah, it'll probably be fine. Though it still bothers me that they didn't bring out their full force and number, they won't be able to crush the forward base nor the city."
The skies of the eastern district were controlled by powerful flying monsters, it was exactly the reason why the people of the eastern district did not use aerial transportation. That was just how strong the monsters that roamed the eastern district's sky were.
"Well, it's true that most of the flying monsters are dangerous. But most of those monsters are either weapons from the old-world era or their derivations. Basically, they are the drones that are normally assigned to watch over the old-world ruin's sky. If they seriously wanted to crush Kugamayama city, they would have come with stronger monsters. So in short, this invasion did not originate from the old-world system. That's why their aircrafts are not that powerful. Well, although I said they're not that powerful, it's relative to the other monsters that usually roam the sky though. But even so, the city defence squad should be able to handle them just fine."
"But it seems that those aircrafts are coming from the ruin. So at least the system supports this invasion."
"...That's why normally you won't see something as half-baked as this. It somehow bothers me. But well, it doesn't change the fact that they pose no threat to the city."
The guy who was listening to him was dumbstruck, normal people would know nothing about what Yanagisawa said just now.
"...Very well, so then, what should we do?"
"Let's see. You can go ahead and decide for yourself whether to defend the route or the forward base, but remember that the supply route is not equipped to defend against an aerial attack."
"If you're okay with that order, I have a feeling that guy would use the powered suit though, should we expect anything from him?"
"Hm? Just leave him be. In the first place, we're planning to check if we can use that powered suit in the inner part of the ruin. So this might be a good chance to test it. I guess we can let him hunt those bigger monsters and see how well it will fare."
[...I'm sure it's not because of them either. They should not be able to break their limitations. And even if it's possible, it should be incredibly difficult, there's no way they can get those small aircrafts flying without permission. If they had the ability to do that, the forward base and Kugamayama city would have been destroyed by now... I should still have some time...]
The bigger the rights that an area manager had, the stronger the restriction would be. The bigger and the more powerful the area it managed, the stronger and more detailed the restriction would be. Yanagisawa knew that fact very well.
As Yanagisawa rejected the possibility of his worry, his face returned back to his usual smile.
Back in the ruin, Akira was riding his bike on the side of a crumbled building. Warheads landed behind him as if they were trying to catch him.
The monster that Akira was fighting was a type of weapon dog but with a huge body. It had 6 legs and a gigantic upper half of a humanoid robot that grew out from its back. Instead of a head, it had a gun that grew out from where its head should be. It was also the same for its arms. The vulcan cannon rotated intensely as they kept spewing bullets in Akira's direction.
As each bullet left a hole in that building, it eventually started to crumble down. Akira climbed up the wall to get away from his opponent's shooting range before making a sharp turn and pulled out his SSB multi-weapon.
Even after he defeated his enemy, Akira still had a stern face.
"That makes it 5 already!! They're too strong and too many to be roaming around outskirts of Kuzusuhara ruin.
A loud explosion suddenly happened not too far from him. It came from the missiles that were launched from Akira's A4WM automatic grenade launcher beforehand. The explosion blew off rubbles together with the flesh, mechanical parts, and a firestorm.
"And that makes it 6. Akira, you're running out of ammo. Let's resupply first."
"Roger that!"
Akira's small truck that carried his supply was under Alpha's control and she evacuated it away from the monsters. Akira was fighting monsters to make sure that they would not destroy his truck.
Akira rushed toward his truck that was hiding in an alley. He then parked his bike right in front of the truck's container and took out mini-missiles as well as huge rifle magazines out from the truck's container in a rush.
While he was in the middle of taking out ammo from the container, Akira suddenly ran off, reloaded a new magazine to his SSB rifle, jumped out the alley, and immediately started shooting.
"It would be troublesome if they get the chance to launch missiles at you, right? That's why I told you to kill it quickly. Although it turns out that it doesn't have missile pods, it was faster to just kill it instead of taking time to check if it had missile pods. But it's not important now, hurry up with the resupply. We have another one coming."
After Akira returned back to his truck, he finished replenishing his ammo and immediately got back on his bike. Without missing a beat, he paced his bike to face the 8th monster.
"That's not important, let's just take that monster out. Just because it has a humanoid body part, it doesn't make it harder for you to shoot it, right?"
Akira pushed that thought aside and fixed his aim, but before he pulled the trigger, he suddenly stopped. The rain that was falling down lightly suddenly turned stronger. The heavy rain cut his visibility and hid the enemy that was in front of him.
"...This rain has a similar effect with the colourless mist, doesn't it? But I have your detection support, so, I basically have the upper hand in this condition, right?
"If it's about detection skills, then yes. But this rain will kill most of the bullet's momentum. So considering that both of you lose your long-range shooting capability, it means that you'll have to get close to fight the monsters. Judging from that point of view, your situation is actually worse."
Thanks to Alpha's support, Akira was still able to spot his enemy. He pulled the trigger with a stern face.
The bullets ripped through the water beads from the rain, leaving a traceable trajectory path all the way through the monster's armour and inner parts.
The monster immediately made it move to shoot back at Akira. Its huge cannon swooped with such intensity and fixed its muzzle at Akira before starting to shoot warheads where Akira might be based on its calculation.
Its huge cannon released a shell that was more or less as big as the cannon's muzzle, the shell flew through the air and blew the raindrops with its powerful momentum. It pierced through the wall of raindrops, leaving a gaping hole behind its track, and landed on a building not too far from where Akira was, pulverizing it in one shot.
Akira, who witnessed that force from a close range could not help but knit his eyebrows, but at the same time, he was able to confirm that the rain was severely affecting his opponent as well. Nonetheless, he immediately started shooting again. Each armour piercing bullet that he sent left a hole in that big monster's body.
Every time a bullet pierced its body, the shockwave sent the big monster reeling. But it did not stop it from shooting its cannon despite its aim getting worse and worse. The stray shells landed on the buildings around him, crushing them one by one. As some of the rubbles fell right on top of Akira, Alpha let him know about them beforehand, so he was able to evade the falling rubbles before starting shooting again.
"It seems that waiting for it to run out of ammo is not a choice here. Akira, retreat for now. Let's snipe it from another direction."
Alpha controlled his bike that he had left not too far from him to approach Akira. Akira jumped on his bike and left that place. Right after that, another shell landed on a nearby building, sending it crashing down to the ground.
