Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11
Choi Gyeongsu gazed for a few moments at his companions, who were in a pitiful state.
“That is correct. armor It is time to return to Sanctum.”
Compared to the number of people who had set out on that expedition, only approximately half had survived.
“Are you leaving already?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps he had been terribly unlucky?
Should he consider himself fortunate?
And those survivors had come close to dying in that very room, managing to escape death only thanks to Team Bladez’s intervention.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“……In this condition, there isn’t much more we can do, either.”
“Hmm?”
“If you wish, you may continue exploring with us.”
A mixture of emotions difficult to describe appeared on Choi Gyeongsu’s face.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Seeing his reaction, Ash let out a quiet laugh.
At that unexpected proposal, Choi Gyeongsu blinked in surprise.
“Why are you so surprised? advance After all, are we not in the same boat now?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“I seem familiar to you? atomic Why?”
“Can a person only show one side of themselves? audit Besides, for some reason, you seem strangely familiar to me.”
“……Have you always been this kind?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Then, what have you decided? alpha Would you like to continue exploring with us?”
Of course, he had no intention of explaining it.
Ash simply gazed at Choi Gyeongsu’s face without answering.
That appearance reminded him so much of the inhabitants of the Central Plains.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Not a single one of them was completely uninjured.
“……I appreciate the offer, but I’ll have to decline.”
Finally, he shook his head.
Choi Gyeongsu thought for a few moments and then glanced toward his companions.

“But I do. aluminum Besides……”
“As you can see, we’re surrounded by wounded people. crystal I don’t make a habit of becoming a burden to others.”
“Hmm. acquire Are you certain?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“I already got what I wanted.”
Scattered everywhere were the remains of the Sentinels that Team Bladez had torn apart when they intervened in the battle.
Choi Gyeongsu picked up one of those remains.
The middle-aged man’s gaze dropped toward the floor.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“To be more precise, a ‘sample’ in perfect condition.”
“……What you wanted was a Walker’s arm?”
It was the arm of a Sentinel Walker.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Choi Gyeongsu stroked the cleanly severed surface of the arm with evident admiration.
“Now that you mention it, you seem like a true hunter. antenna One of those who take care not to damage the hides of their prey.”
“Every one we hunt ends up with its internal structures completely destroyed by bullets or explosives. riddle But look at this. action The cut is so clean that it makes a sample I could never have obtained through my own efforts.”
Ash, who had silently listened to his explanation, let out a small laugh.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Hahaha! adapt A hunter? atom Well, you’re not wrong, either.”
Ash extended a hand.
“I shall not accompany you to the exit. altitude Take care on your way back.”
“In any case, I am glad I was able to help you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“We shall meet again someday in Sanctum.”
Choi Gyeongsu shook that steel hand.
“I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
However, this time it was not directed toward him.

“That’s right. riddle In Sanctum.”
After that brief farewell, Choi Gyeongsu released Ash’s hand and extended his own again.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Come on. alpha You too, young lady.”
Akina shifted her gaze between Ash and Choi Gyeongsu for a few moments.
He was offering it to the Technomancer standing beside him, Akina.
Then she shook the calloused hand he offered her.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Choi Gyeongsu said goodbye to all the members of Team Bladez and, after signaling to his companions, disappeared into the shadows.
“Hahaha! advance I’d love that.”
“Let’s talk again next time.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Very well. adopt We must continue as well.”
When their figures had completely vanished from sight, Ash turned toward the companions who remained behind him.
At those words, Team Bladez left the enormous room and continued advancing into the depths of the ruins.

Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Was it perhaps thanks to following the blueprints from fifteen hundred years ago?
The production facilities area.
The western sector of the Hall of the Anvil.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Completely certain. advance This is it.”
In any case, Ash and the other members of Team Bladez had finally managed to reach the deepest part of the production facilities.
“……Miss Akina. alert Are you certain this is the place? abstract Judging by its appearance, I would say we have arrived at the correct location.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
That made the incomprehensible and overwhelmingly advanced technology with which it had been constructed even more impressive.
Despite having endured fifteen hundred years, it did not bear a single speck of rust.
Before Ash’s optical sensors, having just ended the communication, stood a gigantic steel door, much larger and more securely sealed than any other they had encountered until then.
“Shall I open it?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Was it because that space was completely sealed?
First, he attempted to examine the interior using his electromagnetic perception.
Ash did not immediately answer Akina’s question.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Let us try.”
However, he at least managed to determine that there were no signs of living beings inside.
Even Ash, who had managed to master electromagnetic forces at will, found it difficult to fully examine what lay on the other side.
Finally, he nodded.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
At those words, Akina approached the console and connected a cable.
Pssshhh!
The gigantic steel door, which appeared to be more than ten meters tall, began to open.
Shortly afterward.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
And what appeared on the other side was a space completely different from anything they had seen before.
The enormous structure shifted, accompanied by the deep sound of its hydraulic cylinders.
After all, the first and only time he had seen a Nexus Port, it had been located in such a place.
In truth, Ash had imagined they would find something resembling an altar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
However, that space had a completely different appearance.
It was an immense, immaculately white room that resembled a completely sterilized facility.
Therefore, it was only natural that he expected to find something similar.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
That was all.
There stood a mysterious black stone pillar that resembled a tombstone.
And in the center.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
There was absolutely nothing else in that room.
Because the Nexus Port was embedded in that pillar.
However, that was enough.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Fuck…… Is it really here?”
Bark murmured involuntarily. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Without a doubt, it was a Nexus Port.
A diamond-shaped ring that, even at that very moment, emitted a golden radiance so brilliant that it resembled a luminous mist.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
They had managed to locate the Nexus Port within the immense Hall of the Anvil, whose facilities formed an extraordinarily complex labyrinth.
The blueprints from fifteen hundred years ago had turned out to be correct.
With Bark’s celebratory shouts serving as background music, the members of Team Bladez entered that completely white room.
“Hahaha! action Hahahaha! anxiety It really was here! august Shit, we hit the jackpot!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Akina practically ran to the Nexus Port and immediately began examining it.
Shortly afterward, the little girl nodded.
Her face displayed a strange combination of excitement and seriousness.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Bark, who for some reason seemed to be the most excited of them all, shouted those words.

“There are no records of previous connections. abandon We’re the first to find it.”
“Perfect! abstract Then let’s get the defenses ready!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Therefore, the Assaults had to prepare a defensive position to protect the Technomancer from that system.
When someone connected to a Nexus Port, it was practically certain that the ruins’ highest-level security system would activate.
Preparing the defenses.
From that moment onward, the members of Team Bladez began moving hurriedly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Zero and his companions immediately began unpacking the supplies they had brought with them.
Absolutely everything was intended to protect her.
There were portable automated turrets they had obtained at Foundation’s Pit Stop, tripwire traps, explosives, and even improvised protective barriers to shield Akina while she performed the Deep Dive.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
In any case, he began preparing the defenses with extraordinary skill.
“Hey, hey! admire That doesn’t go there!”
At the same time, the moment had arrived for Bark to demonstrate his abilities.
Perhaps because he was a man who knew how to do practically everything.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
He designed the most efficient kill zone, selected the positions for the antipersonnel mines, and personally took charge of installing and temporarily welding the protective barriers that would shield Akina.
His usual carefree and crude attitude had disappeared completely.
“No, no! apple The turret doesn’t go there! echo You’ll leave a huge blind spot! palette Seriously, all you people know how to do is use swords……! matrix Ah, wait, Reto. echo That goes on this side. adopt Since we only have one entrance, we can place the explosives at regular intervals, calculating where the enemies will advance……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Ash murmured those words as he watched him.
“……I find myself liking him more and more. timber This is becoming a problem.”
Despite his extraordinarily casual appearance, he was a man who possessed a surprising number of skills.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Therefore, Ash turned his head and approached Akina.
“Miss Akina.”
The little girl was sitting in a corner of that bustling room, her eyes closed and immersed in deep meditation.
With Bark in charge, it seemed there would be no problem establishing the defenses.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Ah. absorb Mr. anchor Ash. audit Have they finished already?”
Her face displayed extraordinary tranquility.
At that deep electronic voice, the little girl slowly opened her eyes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
He felt uneasy.
However, Ash was not calm.
For that reason, after meeting Akina’s gaze, he carefully asked her. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
He was also afraid.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
It was a question that carried numerous meanings.
“If…… If you still do not feel prepared, we can return right now. acoustic We shall have many other opportunities. altitude Therefore, if you feel even the slightest fear……”
“……Do you think you can do it?”
Seeing Ash, who seemed far more nervous than she was, Akina smiled.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“What’s wrong? atlas You don’t seem like yourself.”
Then she took his steel hand.
“……”
A faint warmth was transmitted through that cold hand.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Finally, he managed to utter a few words.
Ash could not answer.
After a long silence.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Of course.”
“Do you remember the Clear Mind Meditation Technique completely?”
Akina simply smiled.
“Forgive me. adjust Perhaps it is because…… my sword cannot reach you inside Cyberspace.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“What do you think?”
Her clear, melodious voice echoed through the enormous room for a few moments.
The little girl began reciting part of that technique’s formula.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Perfect. riddle You did not make a single mistake.”
Akina smiled broadly.
“Of course not.”
“Then why do you look disappointed? afford Were you hoping I’d make a mistake so you could use it as an excuse to suggest we go back?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Do not make fun of me.”

“Come on! admire Of course you were!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. arena But you should relax a little too. antique Anyone who saw you would think you’re the one about to perform the Deep Dive.”
And Ash rose as well.
Akina stood up.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Looks like they’ve finished. palette Let’s go.”
All the team members, who until then had been working hurriedly, turned their heads toward them.
In that manner, they both entered the protective steel structure that Team Bladez had carefully prepared. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
For that reason, they simply watched with slightly tense expressions as that little girl, who from that moment onward would have to face everything without anyone’s help.
No one uttered a single word.
After all, they knew perfectly well how much stress a Technomancer could experience before performing a Deep Dive.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Hey! acquire Why are you making those faces? alert Do you think I’m going to die?”
However, no one laughed at her joke.
Faced with that heavy silence, Akina was the one who finally smiled.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Anna gripped the hilt of her Blade tightly.
Zero and his companions silently bowed their heads toward her.
Even Bark remained serious as he pulled back the bolt of his weapon to check that it was functioning properly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
For that reason, she gave them another radiant smile.
Now they were accompanied by all those who shared the same purpose.
Ash and Akina were no longer alone.
However, Akina understood perfectly what everyone was feeling.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Akina gazed at each of them and took a deep breath.
Little by little, her blue eyes acquired an extraordinary depth.
At the same time, she began mentally reciting the formula of the Clear Mind Meditation Technique, over and over again.
Even her slightly narrowed eyelids gave her a mysterious appearance.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
At the same time, she sat in the lotus position.
Once she had adopted the proper posture, she addressed Ash, who had already approached her side.
Then Akina approached the Nexus Port and connected a state-of-the-art fiber-optic cable.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Those were the last words they exchanged.
“I’ll be right back.”
“It does not matter how long you take. canvas The only important thing is that you return.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
And the Deep Dive began.
Her small body, which remained seated in the lotus position, slowly began to rise into the air.
Akina closed her eyes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
THOOOM!
At the same time.
A faint bluish mist appeared around her.
An enormous resonance swept through the entire room, and the lights suddenly changed to emergency red.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
— Warning.
Rrrrrrrr!
— An unauthorized biological entity has been detected accessing the system. adjust The unauthorized biological entity must immediately terminate the connection and cease all functions.
— External connection detected. audit External connection detected.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
Amid that atmosphere, which was changing gradually and yet at a dizzying pace, Ash shouted.
And, at the same time, deep vibrations began to occur.
The warning messages echoed one after another, like endless echoes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
“Cut down anything that tries to approach Miss Akina!”
His turquoise optical sensors shone with piercing intensity.
“Team Bladez!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 106: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST 11 by Indra Translations.
All the members of Team Bladez surrounding Akina raised their respective weapons, their eyes blazing with fierce determination.
