“Have we not met before?”

At that question, the individual whose entire body was covered in black Techwear, including his face, which was concealed behind a mask, replied.
Zero shrugged before continuing.
“That is not possible.”

“If I had seen someone as peculiar as you, I would never have forgotten. orbit This is our first meeting.”
“What do you mean?”
“I see. apple How curious.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“What kind of ‘mask’ was that individual wearing?”
“……”
After a brief pause, the Ninja asked.
“Just one day ago, I met a Ninja who also called himself Zero.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“Did you kill him?”
Ash shook his head.
“A wolf mask.”
“He managed to escape.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Ash could not understand what that sigh meant.
“I see.”
The Ninja named Zero let out a deep sigh.

“Is it necessary for us to introduce ourselves?”
“Of course. acquire After all, you have a data chip, don’t you?”
“……I believe you still haven’t told me your names.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
At those words, Ash observed his interlocutor for a few moments before taking a data chip out from inside his clothing.
“Are you referring to this?”
“That’s right.”
It was precisely that mysterious device covered by a blue hologram.

“I didn’t know.”
“Hmm. absorb In that case, there is something I must ask you. echo How do you know of this chip’s existence? alien And furthermore, how did you know it was in our possession?”
“Your words do not match the situation.”

“Well. aspect What the hell is going on here?”

“We did not have the opportunity to discuss it.”
“……Didn’t Rudolph Hyung explain anything to you?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“Exactly. palette And that’s how I ended up finding you two.”
“That chip has a tracking device installed. meadow Rudolph Hyung was the one who placed it there. riddle I simply followed its signal. adapt After he went up to the surface, the signal disappeared, and I was wondering what had happened. anchor Then, a little while ago, it reappeared.”
“So you followed that signal here?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Ash closed his hand around the chip.
“I see. altitude I believe I am beginning to understand the situation.”
“Could you hand it over now? antique It’s something I desperately need.”
Zero extended a hand.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
After speaking those words, he put the data chip back among his belongings.
“So you were Rudolph’s client.”
“In that case, I cannot give it to you.”
Zero watched that movement and slowly withdrew his outstretched hand.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“……May I ask what you mean by that?”
“Exactly what I just said. voyage I cannot give you this chip.”
Then he moved his hand toward the Blade hanging from his waist.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“Return it……? silence Are you saying you intend to return it to Memoryphilia?”
Ash adjusted his grip on the Blade he was holding.
“We came here to return this chip to its original owner.”

“Memoryphilia? arctic So they are its original owners?”
“That is none of your concern.”
“……Why? august Why the hell do you want to return the chip to them?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
However, neither moved.
At that instant, the atmosphere between them changed completely.
“……I see. auction So you didn’t come to complete the job.”
The industrial wastewater falling from the pipes began splashing against both their shoulders.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
They simply continued staring intently at each other.
After a few moments of silence, Zero spoke.
“……”
“……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Clang!
“I share your opinion.”
“It’s a shame things have turned out this way.”
The sudden clash of metal shattered the silence.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Without anyone being able to discern when they had closed the distance, their swords collided violently, sending sparks of deep red flying amid Underland’s darkness.
‘……It can’t be.’
Siren held her breath as she watched, utterly astonished, the spectacle unfolding before her eyes.

However, what she was witnessing was no ordinary battle.
After all, she was also a swordswoman who held first place in Halloween’s ranking.
She was convinced that practically no battle could make her so much as blink.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
As always, Ash’s sword moved with extraordinary elegance, like a dragon gliding among the clouds.
It resembled a sword dance performed by two giants.
Every trajectory his sword traced contained a depth impossible to express in words.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
And in the very next instant, he surged forward with explosive power to penetrate any opening in his defense.
At times, he gently extended his blade to redirect his opponent’s force.
That swordsmanship was so fascinating that it was impossible to look away.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Because his opponent, Zero, was managing to stop that sword.
Precisely for that reason, Siren could not help feeling astonished. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
It was like directly witnessing the manifestation of a level of mastery so high that it could only be vaguely described as the ‘absolute pinnacle.’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Nor the Ninja they had faced at the rest stop.
Not even herself.
Much less that mysterious Sentinel she had encountered in the Outer, which had nearly killed her!
In Siren’s memories, there had never been anyone capable of properly withstanding Ash’s attacks.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Clang! silence Clang, clang, clang!
Certainly, Zero’s swordsmanship followed a completely different style from Ash’s.
‘He’s managing to stop Lord Ash’s sword? meadow That nameless Ninja?’
Faced with that absolutely unbelievable scene, Siren sharpened her gaze and began meticulously examining the Ninja’s sword technique.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Instead, each of his movements concentrated absolute efficiency, without the slightest waste, and a killing intent as sharp as his own sword.
The fastest path to killing his opponent.
It was neither flashy nor elegant.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
That was the only will that seemed to exist behind his sword.
However, there was something strange.
The more closely she observed, the more details began to reveal themselves.
The surest movement to accomplish it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Like two completely different branches that had sprouted from the same tree.
Although at first glance the two swordsmen’s techniques seemed completely different, there was something inexplicably similar about the way they crossed swords.
‘Are they similar……?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Zero barely managed to block it and, using his opponent’s force, spun around to execute a wide horizontal slash.
Ash deflected the attack with intricate footwork and immediately followed it with an upward diagonal slash.
Zero’s sword suddenly rose from below, tracing an unexpected trajectory.
Clang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Ash positioned his blade vertically to receive the impact and, using that same momentum from his opponent, completed a full turn to attack his lower body.
A dizzying exchange of attacks and counterattacks, in which neither managed to gain the upper hand, yet neither retreated a single step.

It was almost as though they were having a conversation through their swords.
At a certain point, Siren even forgot her own responsibility and became so absorbed in that sword dance between two giants that she forgot to blink.
Both anticipated each other’s movements, responded with counterattacks, and sought to exploit any opening.
This was no longer a simple battle.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Zero suddenly jumped backward, increasing the distance between them.
It was then, amid that suffocating exchange of blows, that it happened.
Clang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“……”
“Had we not already finished introducing ourselves?”
“Who are you?”
From behind his expressionless tiger mask came a voice filled with bewilderment.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Then, without even attempting to conceal the confusion overwhelming him, he exclaimed in a trembling voice.
However, Zero shook his head violently.
Ash answered calmly, without abandoning his combat stance.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“That’s not what I mean!”
Ash lowered his Blade and continued.
“You seem surprised. auction To be frank, so am I.”

“I am the rightful owner of the sword technique you are using.”
At those words, Ash’s optical sensors flashed.
“I’m asking you who you are!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“……What?”
“I suspected as much! amber So you’re a dog of Omni-Cell? atomic You finally followed us all the way here! alien Even into Underland!”
Zero spat out those words with a growl.
“The owner? harbor Ha!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“What are you talking about? crystal What does Omni-Cell have to do with any of this?”
Why the hell was he suddenly mentioning Omni-Cell Biotech?
Omni-Cell?
“You just said it yourself! arch That you’re the rightful owner of this sword technique, Kunlun-Combat!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
At that instant, Ash’s entire body froze.

His optical sensors began flickering violently, as though suffering convulsions, and his steel body staggered slightly.

“What did you just say? agent Kun…… lun?”
[KEYWORD DETECTED: KUNLUN]
“……What…… did you just say?”
As warnings appeared incessantly across his optical sensors, Ash clutched his head and addressed Zero.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
And amid that confusion and chaos, new lines of text began appearing rapidly.
His Main Core began operating violently, emitting a deep roar.
His processing circuits heated up as though suffering an overload.

Ash began staggering even more.
“Lord Ash? action Lord Ash!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Amid his flickering vision, the last thing he managed to distinguish was Siren’s figure running toward him.
[PLAY. . . adjust NOW<<<]
Then his consciousness was violently thrown into another time and another space.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was someone’s face.
***
Along with that brief message.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Just as on that previous occasion, most of her face was so distorted by glitches that it was impossible to recognize her.
— Mister!
However, her lips, particularly red and full, could be distinguished with absolute clarity.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
She took my hand and began leading me somewhere.
That was the girl who bore that name.
Nangrang.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“Why are you so excited, Nangrang?”
— Hehe! acid Don’t be surprised, all right? arch Well, you can be surprised, but not too much!
The warmth conveyed by her small hand was accompanied by overflowing excitement and anticipation.
At those innocent words, I replied.

“A present? alpha For me?”
— Who else would it be for?
— Hehe! amateur Because I prepared a present!
A present.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
What kind of present could she have prepared?
Simultaneously, another sequence began playing.
At that instant, everything appearing before my eyes was covered by glitches and interference until it disappeared completely.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Before I realized it, Nangrang and ‘I’ had arrived somewhere.
— One, two, three! action Mister! action Turn around!
We had stopped.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Behind her stretched something resembling a traditional residence.
The first thing that appeared before my eyes was the girl’s red-lipped smile, her arms spread wide with an expression of pride.
Following her instructions, I turned around.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Rusted iron plates arranged like a wall.
However, everything was constructed from iron and pipes, giving it a rather strange appearance.
Pipes replacing columns.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
However, among all those things, something particularly caught my attention.
Strange structures that seemed to be neither modern buildings nor traditional pavilions.
It was a wooden plaque placed above a metal structure that seemed to represent the main gate. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
[KUNLUN]
Some of the strokes were even incorrect.
The letters on that plaque were written unevenly and crookedly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
— Ta-da! legend It’s Kunlun, the place you miss so much every day, Mister!
At that proud declaration, ‘I’ let out an incredulous laugh and shook my head.
“Nangrang. wizard How many times must I tell you? wizard It is not Kunlun, but Gonryun.”
Nangrang proudly pointed at the plaque and gave a radiant smile.

“Gonryun.”
— Kunlun?
— Kunlun?

“Gonryun!”
As I gazed at that pure and innocent expression, ‘I’ could not help smiling either.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Then Nangrang began running toward me, as though she wanted to throw herself into my arms.
— Hehe! portal What does it matter! adjust As long as everyone understands what it means!
‘I’ extended both arms to receive her.

“……!”
When Ash’s optical sensors regained their brightness, the first thing he saw was Siren’s back as she stood in front of him, as though trying to protect him.
“Ah, Lord Ash! sphere Are you all right?”
She kept her sword pointed toward Zero, but upon hearing movement behind her, she turned her head slightly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“……How long was I unconscious?”
Ash shook his head a couple of times before answering.
“Not long. absorb About ten seconds?”
Siren asked hurriedly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Ash pushed those thoughts into a corner of his Main Core and raised his head.
Zero was still watching them.
Ten seconds.
The sequence had seemed much longer to him.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
He did not raise his sword.
Ash took a step forward.
The pressure emanating from his entire body was too intense to think otherwise.
Although his mask made it impossible to distinguish his expression, he was surely looking at them with hostility.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
At that unexpected introduction, Zero replied.
“Now you decide to introduce yourself? attic Don’t you think you’re doing things in a rather strange order?”
“My name is Ash. academy Ash Blade. canvas She is Siren, an Idol from Halloween Entertainment.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“A misunderstanding? auction What misunderstanding?”
“I simply wish to clear up a misunderstanding.”
Although his tone was clearly sarcastic, Ash paid it no attention.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Then he looked directly at Zero, who continued watching him with a piercing gaze, and spoke.
“……Where is this coming from all of a sudden? auction Just a moment ago, you clearly said that……”
“I am not a dog of Omni-Cell. amber In fact…… you could say that I am more of an enemy to them.”
Ash sheathed his sword behind his back.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
“Explain yourself in a way I can understand, Ash.”
Zero remained silent.
Several moments passed before he spoke again.
“However, I am also the true owner of the sword technique you use.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
At first, Ash thought it was simply the usual noise of the city.
“That is precisely what I intend to do.”
However, that was not the case.
At that moment, murmurs began to rise around them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
And he also understood that, under those circumstances, the only ones who could be approaching while making such a racket were the REST-MAN members.
That commotion was clearly approaching them.
Ash realized that it was the sound of numerous footsteps and metal parts colliding with one another.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
After answering briefly, Ash turned his gaze toward Zero.
“Lord Ash.”
“It seems we both have quite a few things to discuss. silence What do you say we move somewhere else?”
“I have detected them as well, Heroine.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
Finally, he sheathed the sword he was holding in the scabbard at his waist.
Without stopping there, Ash gestured with his chin toward the source of the approaching noises.
“I believe our conversation will be rather too long to conduct while fighting those individuals.”
Zero remained silent for a few moments.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
She nodded.
Ash turned his gaze toward Siren.
“I’ll guide you.”
“……Do you know somewhere quiet?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 46: Different Dreams in the Same Bed 2 by Indra Translations.
After those words, the three began running simultaneously, as though they had agreed upon it beforehand.
