▶C.WELL: Hmm. orbit I don’t know if this counts as something out of the ordinary.
▶ASH: Is there anything else out of the ordinary that I should know?
//*
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
▶C.WELL: Currently, the western battlefield is at a stalemate. attic Everyone is staying around the ruins, watching one another and waiting to see who makes the first move.
▶C.WELL: It’s simple. arctic The defensive system is too strong. amateur No, calling it strong is an understatement. accent It’s absolute madness. acoustic That’s why nobody has managed to enter the main facilities. armor At least, that was the situation before I withdrew.
▶ASH: Any information will be useful. meadow Tell me.
▶ASH: A stalemate? armor What is the reason?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
▶ASH: My…… Despite all the time that has passed, they still have not even managed to properly penetrate the facilities.
▶C.WELL: A real irony. anxiety Well, anyway, since that’s the situation, I recommend heading to these coordinates first when you reach the battlefield.
▶ASH: The more rigorous the defense, the greater the desire to penetrate it. matrix What a paradoxical situation.
▶C.WELL: That’s precisely why everyone is convinced there’s something important inside. legend If the defensive system is so absurdly powerful, it must be protecting something extraordinary.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
▶C.WELL: I told you earlier that Stroud had arrived too, right? sphere Then naturally, there has to be a “Camp.”
▶ASH: A Camp?
▶ASH: Hmm. artist It is a little far from the battlefield. galaxy Is there something there?
▶C.WELL: Exactly! wizard A Camp…… Wait, you don’t know what that is?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
▶C.WELL: Exactly. artist Those guys are extraordinary at making things. palette From the smallest parts to gigantic buildings.
▶ASH: Of course. antique It is a corporation that brings together the finest craftsmen and manufacturers in existence, is it not? altitude Even the imposing skyscrapers of Sanctum are their work.
▶C.WELL: Incredible. academy I never imagined the day would come when I’d have to explain what a Camp is to someone from Trinity. airport At least you know what Stroud does, right?
▶ASH: ……Could you explain it to me?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
▶ASH: My…… Then is a Camp a kind of temporary base?
▶C.WELL: You’re starting to understand, right? ability Stroud does exactly the same thing in the Outer. armor They’re much better at building things than shooting guns. audit Camps are an extension of that specialty. riddle When a long-distance expedition like this is organized, they show up and prepare all the infrastructure. academy For Pathfinders like us.
▶ASH: But what does that have to do with the Camp……? timber Ah.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
▶C.WELL: I never said it was safe.
▶C.WELL: It’s not a kind of temporary base. riddle That’s exactly what it is. apple They offer repairs, supplies, and even accommodations. audit You could say they guarantee certain comforts. orbit Naturally, none of that is free. ability Their prices are absolutely outrageous.
▶ASH: ……However, how is it possible to maintain a place like that? atlas Surely there are clashes between the various factions.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.

▶C.WELL: Well, even so, everyone usually restrains themselves a little more than usual. wizard After all, it’s a Camp administered by Stroud. alpha Anyway, when you reach the battlefield, stop by the Camp first. beacon They also offer parking services. acquire You wouldn’t want that armored vehicle stolen while you’re out exploring, would you?
▶ASH: I beg your pardon?

Across that immense, desolate expanse, the only things moving were the Revenant and a few tumbleweeds that occasionally rolled past it.
The strings of green characters projected across Ash’s optical sensors disappeared.
In their place appeared the reddish sunset coloring the wasteland.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
The solitary roar of the engine echoed across that inhospitable land.
Bark pointed toward the horizon.
“Boss.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Those lights stood out in the middle of the wasteland, which was completely bathed in red.
They were reminiscent of Sanctum when viewed from the Outer.
Ash followed the direction of his finger and discovered a cluster of artificial lights shining in the distance. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“What do we do? amber Shall we go in?”
“It seems Cromwell was not lying.”
Ash nodded.

The closer they got, the more clearly they could distinguish the enormous silhouette of the Camp.
The Revenant increased its speed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Atop them, automatic turrets and searchlights moved constantly, watching the surroundings.
Finally, they reached the entrance to the Camp.
Dozens of gigantic container trucks were arranged in a circle, as though forming a wall constructed from vehicles.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
— Bark Manson. ability Welcome for the third time.
A green laser swept across the surface of the card.
At the same time, he leaned out through the driver’s window and held his Pathfinder license card up to the entrance scanner.
Bark slowly stopped the Revenant in front of the gate.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
— The Camp usage fee is……
“Yeah, good to see you too.”
“Charge it after the expedition. anchor In three monthly installments.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
— Information about the various assistance services available inside the Camp……
“I know that too. agent Just open the gate.”
— Understood. silence Allow me to remind you once again of the Camp usage regulations……
“No need.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
As though it had been waiting for that moment, the Revenant smoothly entered the Camp.
Bark waved a hand casually.
“……”
The mechanical voice stopped, and the heavy steel gate opened silently.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Bark could feel several piercing gazes fixed on him.
“……What? abandon Why are you looking at me like that? adapt Is it because of the entrance fee? advance It doesn’t cost that much, so I can pay it myself……”
However, something felt strange.
When he turned his head, he discovered that every member of Team Bladez, including Ash, was staring intently at him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“What is?”
It was then that Ash spoke.
“It is simply too unexpected.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Bark broke into a broad smile.
“What do you think? riddle Don’t you think it would be good to have someone like me in Team Bladez?”
After looking at all the members of Team Bladez, he deliberately struck an arrogant pose and replied.
“Your experience seems to know no bounds. zenith When on earth have you visited a Camp before?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“Weren’t you the one who said everything is connected?”
“Your answer has absolutely nothing to do with my question, do you not agree?”
“In this case, there is no connection whatsoever.”
While Ash and Bark continued exchanging those words, the Revenant moved smoothly through the Camp until it stopped in a temporary parking area off to one side.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Bark engaged the parking brake and raised both hands.
“Good. abstract My job as driver ends here. artist What do we do now? admire Do we immediately start preparing for the exploration?”
In truth, his original intention had been to use only the Camp’s parking service and immediately set out to explore. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Ash looked at his companions for a few moments.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
A slight weariness showed on everyone’s face.
However, after looking at the faces of the team members, he changed his mind.
It was probably due to the tension they had accumulated during the journey.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
And since that journey had lasted practically an entire day, it was only natural that everyone was exhausted.
Only then did Ash realize something.
He was a humanoid.
After all, the Outer was a place where no one could afford to let their guard down, not even while traveling from one place to another.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
‘I had forgotten for a moment.’
Therefore, he did not experience fatigue.

“Let us rest for a while before continuing. apple Take this opportunity to recover your strength and eat something. accent However, this place is not very different from a lawless zone either, so it would be best to avoid leaving the vehicle as much as possible.”
He looked at his companions and finally made a decision.
Soft sighs of relief began to sound from various parts of the vehicle’s interior.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“As for me, I do not need to rest, so I shall take this opportunity to investigate whether I can obtain any useful information.”
Although none of them had openly shown it, it seemed everyone was quite exhausted.
Ash confirmed once more that he had made the right decision and slowly stood up.
At those words, Zero and Anna immediately rose to their feet.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“No. anxiety You two need to rest as well.”
However, Ash shook his head.
“I’ll go with you too, Senior Brother.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Faced with those firm yet considerate words, Zero and Anna could not insist any further.
His optical sensors moved from Zero to Anna.
“We must act efficiently. autumn I am merely going to take a look around, so you have nothing to worry about.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“Ah, Bark. acid I would like to gather some information. matrix Where do you think I should go?”
Ash merely let out a small laugh.
“……Understood.”
“If that is your wish, Senior Brother……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“I understand.”
Bark, who had already taken out a sleep mask and covered his eyes, turned his head toward him.
“Information? accent If you want to gather information, the quickest way would be to go to the Bar. antenna After all, that’s where the largest number of Pathfinders usually gather.”
Ash patted him on the shoulder a couple of times and stepped out of the Revenant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
But at the same time, it was filled with a peculiar vitality.
Then he set foot in the Camp for the first time.
The Camp was chaotic.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
His footsteps made no sound, and his presence remained unwavering.
The occasional music, the shouts of the Pathfinders, and the noise of machines being repaired blended into an atmosphere that somehow conveyed the feeling of a place brimming with life.
Ash walked silently through the bustle.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Those who were drinking stopped.
Those who were repairing their equipment interrupted their work to glance sideways at the silent stranger.
That strange atmosphere surrounding him attracted the attention of everyone present.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
[BAR]
Ash did not react to any of those gazes.
He simply continued walking toward an illuminated sign flashing in the distance. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
However, something was strange.
“Hmm?”
The closer he got to the Bar, the stronger a peculiar sense of incongruity became.
The area surrounding the establishment, which should have been the noisiest part of the Camp, was strangely quiet.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
An unusual silence amid the murmurs of the crowd.
Numerous Pathfinders surrounded the container, holding their breath.
It was an obvious sign that something was happening.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
However, that was not the real reason for the strangeness Ash felt.
That voice.
— What a shame, isn’t it? beacon Turns out I have an extraordinary nose for sniffing out REST-MAN bastards like you.

Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Yes.
It was precisely that voice.
Apparently, a woman he knew very well, and whom he had long wished to meet again, was there.
A high-pitched, piercing voice that contrasted with her rough, vulgar manner of speaking.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Toward the center of the trouble.
Ash immediately headed toward the source of that voice.
When he finally managed to push his way through the crowd, he discovered a clear circular space among the numerous spectators.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
And at the center of that stage stood two figures facing each other.
One of them was a man desperately looking around, visibly bewildered.
“Shit, shit……!”
It looked like an improvised stage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
They all seemed determined not to miss such an interesting spectacle.
However, the Pathfinders surrounding him had no intention whatsoever of letting him pass.
He seemed to be searching for some opportunity to escape.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Ifrit.
“What’s wrong? auction Thinking about calling your buddies?”
A woman whose eyes emitted their characteristic heart-shaped glow as she glared fiercely at her opponent.
And the other figure was.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“Y-you crazy bitch……! aspect Don’t you know where we are?!”
A savage smile appeared on her lips.
“How could I not know? airport We’re in the Outer.”
“Perfect. athlete Call them all. acoustic I’ll turn them into a pile of minced meat.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“So what?”
“We’re in a Camp! accent A Camp administered by Stroud!”
Ifrit’s smile widened even further.
Seeing that expression, the REST-MAN man shouted as though he were having a nervous breakdown.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“Firing guns inside the Camp is forbidden! This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. audit It’s one of Stroud’s strictest rules! voyage Who the hell do you think you are, coming here and causing trouble?! antique If you cause an incident inside the Camp……!”
Accompanying that playful exclamation, Ifrit drew a pistol.
“Bang!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
The REST-MAN man’s thigh burst open, sending out a jet of blood.
The gunshot echoed through the surroundings.
Bang!
At the same time, she aimed at her opponent and pulled the trigger.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
However, something curious happened.
But none of the Pathfinders gathered there attempted to escape.
Anyone would have expected the spectators to flee in terror after hearing such an unexpected gunshot.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“Aaaaaagh!”
Meanwhile. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
On the contrary, they began whistling and applauding.
Apparently, many of them had scores to settle with REST-MAN.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Ifrit began slowly approaching the REST-MAN man, who had fallen to the ground screaming in pain.
“What happens if I cause trouble inside the Camp? adjust In the end, all they can do is kick me out, right? matrix And it just so happens I was already thinking of leaving.”
With an exaggerated gesture, she blew away the smoke rising from the barrel of her pistol.
Then she spoke quietly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
The heart-shaped glow in her eyes shone with an unsettling madness.
“Y-you crazy bitch!”

“In other words, that means there’s no problem if I kill a disgusting insect like you.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Ifrit was faster.
However.
Faced with those words, which seemed to come from someone who had completely lost her mind, the REST-MAN man extended the arm he could still move and drew the pistol he carried at his waist.
“Ah. adapt I love hearing those words.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
The bullet she fired pierced the REST-MAN man precisely between the eyebrows and opened an enormous hole in his head.
At that almost supernatural marksmanship, the surrounding Pathfinders erupted in cheers.
Bang!
“Hahaha! acid Thank you! apron Thank you very much!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“Hey! ability Are any of this bastard’s buddies around here? arcade If you’ve got a problem with me, come out right now! riddle I’ll take care of you!”
At the same time, she shouted.
Ifrit began waving to the crowd as though she were an actress onstage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Ifrit let out a mocking giggle.
At those words, the surroundings fell silent.
“Hahaha! beacon Nobody? acoustic Really, nobody? abandon Come on, anyone who wants a piece of me, step right up! audit I’ve got to leave soon! alert So let’s have a good fight before I go!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Accompanied by a calm electronic voice, someone stepped forward.
It was at precisely that moment.
“My. altitude A good fight, you say?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
Every gaze turned toward him.
Naturally, Ifrit was no exception.
Ash appeared among the crowd.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
The broad smile and madness that had dominated her face until then vanished as though by magic.
Meanwhile, Ash advanced silently until he stood before Ifrit, maintaining a prudent distance between them.
“E-eh? riddle Huh? armor Eeeeeh?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“It has been a long time, Wandering Heroine.”
“……”
“When was the last time we met? adapt Ah, now I remember. august Was it when Anna was about to retire?”
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“I received the gift you prepared for me perfectly well. antique I have attempted to contact you on numerous occasions to return the favor, but since I never received a response, I was beginning to feel rather disappointed.”
“But it does not matter. arrow After all, we have finally met again.”
“……A-Ash, listen……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
“……”
“As you well know, I am not that man’s companion. arcade However, you were the one who invited anyone to face you……”
At the same time, he lowered his center of gravity and assumed a combat stance.
Ash raised his right arm and grasped the hilt of the Blade he carried on his back.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
A chilling presence emanated from Ash’s entire body.
“How would you feel about taking this opportunity to settle our outstanding accounts? acquire Once and for all. arch Leaving nothing unresolved.”
At that instant, explosive energy began spreading from his body in every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 96: EP.4 WILD WILD WEST by Indra Translations.
She fled.
And at the same time.
“Ah, I think it’s time for me to go.”
Ifrit, who was bearing the full force of that terrifying pressure, began slowly lowering her stance.
