“Lord Ash! canvas This way!”
The spot where he had been standing only moments earlier was riddled with a hail of projectiles.
Ratatat!
As he closed his system’s communication channel, Ash dodged the bullets coming from behind and rushed into the entrance of an alley.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The two were being pursued.
To be more precise, they were being pursued by numerous individuals wearing the REST-MAN emblem.
Following Siren’s shout, Ash dashed into the narrow alley. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Jenny’s workshop had been a trap.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
They had simply begun moving before their enemies finished establishing the encirclement.
However, that did not mean they had managed to escape every threat.
“Heroine Siren. amateur I believe the time has come to ask you.”
Therefore, Ash’s decision to abandon that place immediately had been correct.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Just how serious was your betrayal, exactly? echo I have the impression that every REST-MAN member in Underland is gathering to pursue us……”

“Ask me what?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Here they are! avalanche They’re here!”
At the same time, voices and murmurs began rising from every direction.
He had not even finished speaking.
A REST-MAN member standing on an old elevated walkway pointed at them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
They were surrounded by enemies.
At those words, Siren gritted her teeth.
“……So, for now, it would be best to keep running.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
‘I’m such an idiot.’
That city, intertwined like a spiderweb, was slowly but inexorably closing around them.
Not only at the end of the alley ahead of them, but also on the elevated walkways and rooftops.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Had her life on the surface made her completely forget what kind of place this was?
And Siren knew perfectly well that this entire situation had been caused by her own past.
‘Did you forget everything just because a few years passed? amateur This is Underland.’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Upon reaching that conclusion, she remembered the confidence with which she had voluntarily offered to serve as a guide.
What the hell had she been thinking to accept that assignment with such certainty?
Had she forgotten how easily things as fragile as friendship and loyalty could be broken and betrayed?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
And precisely to Lord Ash, whom she admired more than anyone!
She only had to look at their current situation.
Had she not ended up becoming a burden?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The feelings of guilt swirling in her chest finally escaped her lips.
Even as she ran desperately, she continued apologizing.
“I’m sorry.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Ash turned his head slightly upon hearing those murmurs.
However, his response was somewhat unexpected.
“I’m sorry, Lord Ash. arrow Because of me……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“I’m sorr…… Huh? accent What do you mean……?”
“There is something I have wanted to ask you for some time. arena Why do you behave this way?”
“……”
“I mean, why do you behave this way only when you are with me? artist When you deal with other people, you seem to have quite a strong personality.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Just then, a fork appeared before them.
“And furthermore, why are you apologizing? amateur If anyone should apologize, it is that woman named Jenny. alpha You are a victim. aspect Just like me.”
“So let us stop blaming ourselves for what happened. alpha Do you not have something more important to attend to?”
Ash looked forward again.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Which way?”
Ash was right.
At that question, spoken with such calmness, Siren made an effort to set aside her feelings of guilt. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Ash pointed ahead.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Serve as a guide.
There was something she had to do.
“……This way!”
That was precisely Siren’s ‘task.’

Because she already knew that both ended in dead ends.
However, she did not choose either path at the fork.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Seeing her, Ash also leaped up effortlessly and followed her.
Siren jumped onto the pipe without the slightest hesitation.
Instead, she chose an enormous metal pipe that stretched along the outer walls of the buildings, branching in every direction like a spiderweb.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
However, the pipes, intertwined in such a complex manner, served not only as a path but also as excellent cover.
“They’ve climbed onto the elevated pipes! altitude Fire!”
The REST-MAN members opened fire from below and from the rooftops of buildings at a similar height.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
At a certain moment, Siren, who was running ahead, raised a hand and made a series of signals.
The two advanced along the pipes with precarious balance, as though performing acrobatics, occasionally jumping from one building to another.
They were the hand signals commonly used by Pathfinders.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Thus, they reached the end of that pipe.
Ash immediately understood their meaning and increased his speed to match Siren’s pace.
[Accelerate] [Jump] [Right]
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
From below came the astonished shouts of the REST-MAN members.
Their figures cut through the air in an extraordinarily long leap.
Whoosh!
Both jumped at the same time.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
After landing on the rooftop of a building that seemed to be a considerable distance away, Ash immediately lunged to the right and swung his Blade at a REST-MAN member who was staring at him with an expression of absolute bewilderment.
With a brief sound of tearing flesh, the man’s body was split in two and fell to the ground.
The distance they had jumped far exceeded human capabilities.
Slash!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Which way next?”
“We have to cross over there!”
Almost at the same time, Siren killed another REST-MAN member standing to the left.
Siren pointed toward a long elevated walkway precariously connecting two buildings.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Ash surveyed the scene as his optical sensors flashed.
“I shall go first.”
It was not a safe route.
After all, more than a dozen REST-MAN members had already taken positions on the bridge and were aiming their weapons at them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
At those words, Siren immediately positioned herself behind him without raising any objections. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Maintaining that improvised formation, they charged toward the walkway.
The two swordsmen did not hesitate.
Ratatat!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
He deflected the approaching projectiles while charging head-on toward the men blocking the bridge.
The man leading the group was cut like a sheet of paper before he could finish his insult.
“You damned tin ca……!”
A hail of bullets rushed toward them at the same time as Ash’s sword began moving as though it were dancing.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The man screamed in pain, lost his balance, and fell over the side of the walkway.
Another REST-MAN member, startled, hurriedly raised his weapon.
“Aaaaaah!”
However, Siren’s sword, as she advanced directly behind Ash, severed his wrist.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
His figure quickly disappeared into the city’s darkness.
Perhaps that scene gave them an idea.

At that command, the men, overcome by fear, began letting out strange cries as they attempted to engage them in hand-to-hand combat.
Apparently, they had concluded that if falling from the bridge meant dying anyway, they would have a better chance of defeating them through brute force.
Someone shouted among the REST-MAN members.
“Push them! alert Throw those bastards off!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
It was precisely the kind of situation where differences in strength and skill became even more evident.
However, that decision proved to be a terrible mistake.
Crunch!
Hand-to-hand combat on a structure as unstable as an elevated walkway.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
That was only the beginning.
Without even having time to scream, the man fell headfirst into the darkness stretching beneath the bridge.
A burly REST-MAN member who had lunged at Ash was sent flying after receiving a single shoulder strike.
The Chest Armor protecting his torso was completely deformed by the impact.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Siren did not remain idle either.
He swept across the walkway as though he had become a gigantic storm of blades.
Ash did not stop.
Every time his sword traced a horizontal line, someone lost their life almost without exception. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

“Argh!”
She also took care of finishing off the survivors left behind after Ash passed.
She precisely targeted the joints and vital points of approaching enemies, causing them to lose their balance and making Ash’s advance easier.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
In that manner, the two continued advancing while crushing everything that stood in their way.
Until they reached the end of the walkway.
A REST-MAN member received a kick from Siren to his side, staggered, and ended up falling from the bridge.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
When they finally managed to cross it, Siren wiped the blood from around her mouth and turned her head.
Siren gave them a broad smile.
The REST-MAN members who had managed to catch up with them were already crossing the bridge.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“W-Wait!”
“Damn it, I’m telling you not to do it!”
“Don’t do it!”
“Stop!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The worn and corroded steel cable began to shake.
She immediately raised her sword and delivered a powerful strike against one of the old cables supporting the walkway.
Siren did not stop.
The startled REST-MAN members desperately fired their weapons.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
However, it was impossible to aim properly on a walkway swaying like that.
And delivered another strike.
Amid that hail of bullets passing around her without hitting her, Siren raised her sword again.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.

And another.
Until, at a certain moment.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The walkway lost its balance and plunged into the depths with a deafening roar.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
The cable finally snapped.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Only then did Siren let out a ragged breath.
“Haa, haa……”
Or perhaps those sounds were the screams of the REST-MAN members who were still on it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
However, the succession of intense and desperate battles seemed to have involuntarily disrupted the rhythm of her breathing. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
After regaining her composure, she addressed Ash.
“……For now, it looks like we managed to lose them.”
Since she was a cyborg, she had no real reason to be out of breath.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Just as she was about to start moving while continuing her explanation.
“Just one block from here, there’s a hideout I used a long time ago. zenith REST-MAN doesn’t know about that place either, so we can take shelter there first and……”
She swung her sword in a wide motion to shake the blood from the blade and pointed toward some part of that gloomy city.
Ash stepped into her path.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Ash did not answer.
Siren looked up at him with a bewildered expression.
“Hmm? academy Lord Ash, what’s wrong?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
His attention was directed toward a distant point.
Following the direction of his gaze, Siren also raised her head.
Nor did he look at her.
A structure of pipes situated high above, where the darkness seemed to gather more intensely.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Standing perfectly upright.
With arms crossed.
There was a human figure there.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“How strange. attic I was convinced I’d find Rudolph Hyung here, but instead there are two people I’ve never seen before.”
“……A Ninja?”
As though he had heard Siren’s murmur, the figure spoke.
At those words, Ash asked.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“And what connection do you have to Rudolph Hyung?”
“I have no connection to him.”
“Do you know Rudolph?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“……Oh. absorb That’s certainly an answer I wasn’t expecting.”
At those words, the Ninja uncrossed his arms and jumped with a movement resembling a somersault.
“By the way, do you intend to continue conversing from up there?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. palette I don’t exactly have a name, so I’m not quite sure how to introduce myself. legend However, some time ago, people began calling me something.”
His figure descended directly toward the ground.
Curiously, his landing did not produce the slightest sound.
Exactly as happened with Ash.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
After landing, the Ninja straightened his body and raised his head.
That was how the Ninja wearing a tiger mask introduced himself.
“Zero.”
