Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3
That was something anyone could easily deduce just by looking at her.
And that was not all.
For starters, that mechanical eye glowing in the shape of a heart already demonstrated that she was not exactly sane.
She was a dangerous woman.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Her two arms, made of silver chrome, stood out in particular.
Her clothing also inevitably drew attention.
Her cybernetic body, which, like Santa’s, replaced practically her entire body, gleamed even at that moment.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
And then there was her light violet hair, which emitted light on its own, and her two legs shaped like high heels.
If the splendor and chaos of Sanctum took human form, would they not look exactly like this?
Across a bodysuit that clearly revealed the curves of her body, countless advertisements from different corporations flashed in luminous geometric patterns.
That was what Ash thought.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The drones began fluttering around the woman while projecting lights of numerous colors.
They were small drones the size of baseballs.
“Ta-da! atomic The bitch you hate most has arrived!”
As the woman spoke, something came flying into view.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
—Ifrit……
Akina, who was watching the entire scene while hidden behind the rubble, held her breath.
Like spotlights on a stage.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Then he lowered the volume of his voice module to the minimum and spoke practically in a whisper.
—A little. airport She’s a Pathfinder belonging to Halloween Entertainment.
—Do you know that woman?
Ash turned his head toward her.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.

Halloween Entertainment.
—Halloween?
Ash immediately consulted his internal database for information.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Pathfinders belonging to the corporation are known as Idols, and Halloween Entertainment devotes all its efforts to vividly broadcasting their heroic exploits.
It provides dreams, hope, and ‘a little’ entertainment to citizens to bring vitality to the enclosed city.
A gigantic corporation that controls all kinds of media channels within Sanctum.

While Ash reviewed that information, the Pathfinder who remained sitting on the ground after losing a leg shouted.
*//
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
For someone whose face was contorted by pain and fear, his voice was surprisingly shrill.
The man, who until then had been groaning in pain, shouted with all his strength.
“Why?! apple Why the fuck are you doing this?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“What the fuck did we do?!”
“W-what……?”
At his shouting, the extravagant woman, Ifrit, let out a giggle.
“How the fuck should I know?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“You crazy bitch!”
But Ifrit was faster.
The man drew the pistol he carried beside his thigh.
“I’m telling you I don’t know what you did wrong. adjust You’re simply going to die because you’re a REST-MAN. august REST-MAN are what I hate most in this world.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The pistol she held, evidently far from an ordinary weapon, spat fire.

One of the man’s arms was also completely destroyed.
Boom!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The man rolled across the ground.
“Aaaaaagh!”
Then it alternated the camera between his face, contorted in pain, and his mangled limb.
One of the drones that had been filming Ifrit moved toward him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit opened her eyes wide, apparently surprised, and grabbed the drone that was filming her to show it the pistol she was holding.
“Wow!”
“Did everyone see that? riddle This incredible destructive power! artist The latest model from ‘ChakaChaka Industries’, Bloody Heart Mk.7! auction The design is brutal……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Apparently, the woman did not appreciate that, because she frowned.
“Aaaagh! album Aaaaaagh!”
And then, once again,
The REST-MAN’s screams echoed amid the torrent of advertising.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
she fired directly into the REST-MAN’s face.
With a violent explosion, the screams disappeared.
Boom!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Satisfied with that silence, the woman winked at the drone.
Even after that, Ifrit’s antics continued.
Not forgetting to show off the pistol she was holding once again.
“……Bloody Heart Mk.7! acoustic The design is brutal, right? orbit Well, its performance is even more brutal! sphere Buy it right now! abandon Oh, and don’t forget to use ‘Ifrit’ as your referral code! armor Take advantage of that 5% discount!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
At one point, she even tripped over the corpse and fell, after which she displayed an embarrassed smile.
Then she had the drones play music and began dancing.
After continuing that performance for quite some time, Ifrit suddenly adopted a sad expression.
She grabbed the REST-MAN’s half-destroyed face and took a photograph beside the corpse.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
There, they were stored away without a trace.
The two drones that had been constantly fluttering around her emitted a beep indicating the end of the recording and returned to her shoulders.
“Everyone! atomic Unfortunately, I have to go recharge for a while. atlas You have to come back afterward! canvas Understood? auction Promise me! agent See you in an hour! agent This was Ifrit!”
After energetically blowing a kiss toward the camera, Ifrit activated the Cyberware located on her shoulders.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The broadcast ended.
“Fuuuh.”
That was probably how they recharged.
Finally, silence descended upon the ruins.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit tossed aside the pistol she was holding and began rotating both shoulders in circles.
“Argh! amateur How the hell am I supposed to use this thing?”
In its place appeared a slight frown.
With a brief deep breath, the smile Ifrit had maintained until then disappeared.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The recoil was so brutal that it had placed her entire body under enormous strain.
While she continued complaining in a voice filled with irritation, she suddenly stopped.
“A pistol that uses large-caliber ammunition?!

Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Beside the pistol she had thrown away,
Then she fixed her gaze on a certain spot.
“……Hmm?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit picked up both the pistol and the wrapper.
“……”
there was a small, semi-transparent wrapper.
[ENERGY UP! aspect SUPER STICKS! – Strawberry Flavor♥]
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Then she brought her nose close to the inside and sniffed it.
That was proof that it had been opened recently.

It still gave off a faint sweet aroma.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
It was absurd.
Had the REST-MAN who was fleeing suddenly felt hungry and started eating an Energy Stick?
Her gaze shifted toward the corpse.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
For example,
Until then, she had thought that place was no different from any other part of Outer, but once she began looking for something unusual, she discovered certain peculiar details.
Ifrit surveyed her surroundings.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
And they led toward the collapsed remains blocking the path.
There were footprints imprinted in the thick layers of dust.
“Even if we’re in Outer, it’s not very nice to go around leaving trash lying everywhere, don’t you think?”
footprints.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Besides, banana flavor is much better than strawberry. anxiety You don’t know how to choose.”
Ifrit spoke.
She received no answer.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Come out.”
So Ifrit followed the footprints and aimed her pistol toward the rubble.
There was still no response.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“I know you’re there. portal Come out.”
“……”
A heavy silence dragged on.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Don’t want to? silence Then I’ll come over there myself.”
Just as an inexplicable tension began to build,
Ifrit began advancing slowly and calmly toward the rubble.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Come no closer.”
An electronic voice emerged from behind the debris.
“That’s far enough.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit was bewildered for a few moments. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
“Does it matter what I am? accent I concealed myself because I do not wish to provoke an unnecessary conflict, so I would appreciate it if the heroine continued on her way. alert I shall overlook the slaughter you have just committed. amber That is all I have to say. shadow Leave.”
“……A humanoid?”
She needed time to comprehend the situation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit thought briefly until she suddenly wondered.
In other words, a humanoid hiding behind some rubble was threatening her in an extremely refined tone without even showing his face.
“Stop talking nonsense and show yourself.”
‘Why the fuck am I even thinking about this?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Is that absolutely necessary?”
“……”
“Do you want me to shoot?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“So you really were a humanoid?”
He was still holding his steel sword.
Shortly afterward, Ash emerged from the darkness.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
When they were finally separated by approximately five paces, Ash brought both hands together.
Ash did not respond.
He simply lowered the hand holding his sword naturally and advanced a few more steps.
It was a martial salute performed while holding a sword.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“A pleasure to meet you. echo My name is Ash Blade.”
With not the slightest flaw in his etiquette, Ash made his turquoise optical sensors glow and spoke.

Ifrit, who had begun responding formally almost by reflex, regained her composure and shook her head.
“I’m Ifrit.”
“Ah, yes. athlete Nice to mee……”
Surprised by that old-fashioned attitude and the presence emanating from him, Ifrit involuntarily took a step backward.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“That is correct.”
“Then perfect. antenna Are you alone?”
“I know.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Silence.
“Then did you eat this?”
She raised the Energy Stick wrapper.
“That is correct.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash and Ifrit stared intently at each other.
Her voice no longer contained the playful tone from before. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Ifrit was the first to speak.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“I’m going to ask you again. arrow Did you eat this? admire You, a humanoid?”
“You’re not alone, are you?”
There was something cold in it now.
“That is correct.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The coldness in her voice grew even more intense.
Ash replied.
“I don’t like people who lie.”
“I am alone.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
An explosive tension swept through the space between them as the LED heart and the optical sensors staring at each other emitted their respective glows.
Neither of them yielded an inch.
“I do not like those who kill for amusement.”
Just then,
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Akina carefully emerged from among the rubble.
She positioned herself beside Ash or, more precisely, hid half her body behind him while continuing to speak.
“Wooow! acquire Aren’t you Ifrit noona from Elementary Girls? auction I’m a huge fan! accent I even know your songs! acoustic Uh, how did it go? orbit Light the fire in your heart, fire in the hole! artist Yeah!”
“W-wow! avalanche Elementary Girls!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The rhythm was wrong.
The girl awkwardly hummed part of the song.
The melody was wrong.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Even the lyrics were incorrect.
Akina was trying to resolve the situation in her own way.
Ash let out a brief mental sigh as he watched her.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Miss Akina, I understand now, so you may stop……”
“Hahahaha!”
When Akina even began dancing, Ash waved a hand.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Hey, brat. echo You got everything wrong. altitude And besides, what kind of ancient song are you singing? shadow Elementary Girls broke up ages ago.”
Ifrit lowered her weapon.
Ash was considerably surprised.
Ifrit, who had been watching Akina’s antics with a stunned expression, suddenly burst into laughter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash had no way of understanding what a fan meant to an artist, so the situation was completely incomprehensible to him.
‘That worked?’

“Ah. legend It’s been a long time since I laughed like that.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Are you a team? antenna Did you come here to explore?”
“Yes! arrow We came to do Mapping. anxiety What about you, noona?”
“A hobby.”
Ifrit even holstered her pistol and looked back and forth between the two.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Two words that implied far too many things.
“Ah, ahaha……”
A hobby.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit attempted to pat Akina on the head.
Ifrit shrugged and said it as though it were nothing important.
“I know what you’re thinking, but relax. ability I only go around taking out REST-MAN.”
“Well, whatever. voyage As long as you’re not REST-MAN, there’s no problem. altitude Brat, get back to your Mapping or whatever. acoustic And if things get dangerous, make sure you hide properly like you just……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“I hope the heroine enjoys her hobby as well.”
“……Looks like I was worried for nothing.”
But Ash’s hand stopped her.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
The woman waved her hand a couple of times and disappeared into the darkness.
Ifrit knocked Ash’s hand away and turned around.
“Yeah. canvas Let’s hope we don’t meet again.”
“T-take care, noona!” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Ash, who had already picked up the backpack, took out a bottle of water and handed it to her.
Shortly afterward, Akina let out a long sigh and collapsed onto the ground.
“There was no need for you to intervene, Miss Akina. acid That woman was truly dangerous. audit Both physically and mentally.”
“It was like an ionic storm had just passed through here.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“I know. harbor That’s exactly why I intervened. orbit I thought you and she would end up fighting. alpha Ifrit is a pretty famous Idol.”
At Ash’s words, Akina pouted.
“Then you had even less reason to intervene.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
At Ash’s stern and solemn tone, Akina pouted even more.
However, apparently knowing that he was right, she soon gave in.
Ash did not respond.
“……Understood. shadow I’m sorry.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“There seems to be no reason to remain here any longer. silence There has already been too much commotion, and it could attract other creatures.”
He simply opened the bottle of water for her.
Then he surveyed their surroundings.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
“Shall we leave right now?”
Akina drank a little water and nodded.
“Let us.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
She picked up the Energy Stick wrapper from the ground and put it in her pocket.
“Wait a moment.”
Just as they were about to venture back into the darkness of the ruins, Akina spoke.
After that brief exchange, they both finished preparing to depart.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 10: ENTER THE VOID 3 by Indra Translations.
Perhaps it was her way of promising herself that she would not make the same mistake again.
After all, that wrapper had been the reason they were discovered.
As though all the previous commotion had never happened, the two silently ventured into the ruins, once again enveloped in calm.
