“Ah. absorb I could really use a drink.”
At Santa’s Rest Stop.
Night was falling in Sanctum.
Ifrit, who was slumped in front of the counter, muttered those words while gazing at the bottles of liquor arranged in a cabinet.

Hearing her, Santa lifted the welding mask he was wearing while repairing a piece of Cyberware and replied gruffly.
“Ugh! antenna How annoying! abstract Do you know you’ve already told me the same thing more than ten times?”
“Didn’t you say you’d do the job you were paid for? altitude If you start drinking, I’ll tell Ash everything.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“But hey, aren’t you supposed to be working as a bodyguard? airport Why are you lying around here doing nothing?”
Santa answered irritably and was about to lower his mask again when he abruptly turned his head toward Ifrit.
“Because you’ve said exactly the same thing more than ten times! adapt Damn Idol.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit abruptly sat up.
“Oh, really? abandon I see. action Then I’ll tell Ash exactly what you just told me. ability It’ll be fun to see how that strict fellow reacts……”
“Argh! adapt Seriously! anxiety I can’t say anything anymore! palette Why do you have to bring up Ash every single time?”
“Don’t worry. portal Right now, I have more than twenty reconnaissance drones deployed around the rest stop. antique Do you think I’m wasting my time? aspect I’m carrying out surveillance duties, all right?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“……”
Ifrit glared at him, her heart-shaped eyes gleaming.
“Do you really need to ask? antenna Because Ash is the person who makes you the most uncomfortable. ability Come on, admit it. artist You’re a little afraid of him, aren’t you?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Ah! arch All right, all right!”
“That’s called experience, brat. arena Now go and stick close to Akina. canvas Otherwise, I’ll tell Ash everything……”
“……Tch. ability You’ve got damn good intuition.”
However, Santa responded to that glare with a mocking smile.

[SIREN★ has started a live broadcast!]
At that moment, Ifrit’s PDA, which she had carelessly left on the counter, emitted a shrill notification.
Ding!
Ifrit craned her neck to look at the screen.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit stared blankly at the PDA screen before abruptly grabbing it. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
[LIVE]
[Emergency situation. orbit I’m being chased.]
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
All the laziness that had surrounded her until then vanished instantly.
“……What the fuck is this?”
“What? sphere What’s happening?”
She hurriedly operated the PDA and entered Siren’s channel.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
She simply continued staring intently at the screen.
Siren appeared on it.
Santa approached upon sensing that sudden change in the atmosphere, but Ifrit did not answer.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
After nervously looking around, she turned toward the camera and spoke urgently.
— Everyone…… I think I’m in very serious trouble.
She had a terrified expression.
She was hiding in some dark alley, breathing heavily.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
At Ifrit’s warning, Santa immediately closed his mouth.
“H-Huh? anchor Isn’t that the young lady from the other day? auction The one who left with Ash?”
“Wait. aluminum Just wait a moment and be quiet, Grandpa.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Her distressed expression.
— An unknown Ninja is chasing me, and I don’t know where to escape. adopt What should I do?
Then both of them focused all their attention on Siren’s emergency broadcast, as though they were being drawn into it.

Everything appearing in the broadcast conveyed the urgency of the situation.
The occasional sound of her ragged breathing.
The camera’s abrupt movements.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
And yet, Ash was nowhere to be seen on the screen.
Santa shouted and threw down his welding torch before hurriedly heading behind the counter.
He opened a metal cabinet and took out the weapon he carefully kept inside.
“Damn it! admire Something must have gone terribly wrong!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
As he hurriedly checked the cylinder of his revolver, his face twisted into an expression of anguish he had never shown before.
“I never should have let them go alone! amateur Damn it!”
His Peacekeeper.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
It was obvious that the situation shown on the screen appeared serious.
However, Ifrit reacted completely differently.
She continued watching the PDA and occasionally tilted her head slightly.
‘……How strange.’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
That made no sense.
But at the same time, something did not add up.
‘The framing is too stable. athlete It doesn’t look like a Bodycam or an Actioncam, either. alert Then, a drone? antique She deployed a broadcasting drone while someone was chasing her?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Jack and Dullahan were there, having gone outside with Akina to teach her how to shoot.
At that moment, the two were arguing about the correct way to hold a pistol.
Ifrit turned her head slightly toward the rest stop’s backyard.
‘And the same goes for the emergency. anchor If she were really in danger, she should call the transport team instead of starting a broadcast. alert But Halloween’s emergency transport team……’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
‘Then there’s only one explanation.’
‘This is a show.’
Ifrit narrowed her eyes.
In other words, no one had used ROA’s emergency channel.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
At that moment, Siren took something out from inside her clothing.
The hologram [DREAMWEAVER] filled the entire screen.
— I think all of this is happening because of this chip. zenith Does anyone know what it is?
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
At those words, Santa, who looked ready to rush out at any moment, hurriedly approached.
“Grandpa, put that down and come here.”
It was exactly the same chip Ash had taken with him a little while ago.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“This is a show. academy And one of enormous proportions.”
“What? atom What are you saying?”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“It’s complicated to explain, but she’s not in as much danger as she seems. matrix I’m sure of that. adjust To begin with, doesn’t it strike you as strange that Jack and Dullahan are so calm out there?”
Santa turned his head toward the backyard.
Ifrit considered how to explain the situation to him before scratching her head. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“……Now that you mention it……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Ifrit tapped her PDA a few times.
“That’s why we should watch what happens first.”
***
“I want to know what the fuck they’re plotting.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
However, what she was actually thinking was completely different from what her face showed.
Siren opened her eyes wide and, while breathing heavily, displayed an expression of absolute despair in front of a fork in Underland.
“Which way was it? legend Left? harbor Or right?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Just as Ifrit had deduced from the surface, Siren was doing her utmost to act.

‘Ah. arcade Didn’t that line sound a little forced?’
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“……For now, I’ll try going left. crystal Please, let there be no Ninjas over there.”
It was the first time in her life she had attempted anything like this, so if someone watched her closely, her performance was rather clumsy.
However, she seemed to have managed to create a relatively convincing atmosphere.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
— From now on, you will be a fugitive.
Once again, she forced her voice to convey desperation.
Meanwhile, she recalled the conversation she had had with Ash.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
— ……Ask REST-MAN for help?
— Huh…… Me?
To be frank, when she first heard Ash’s words, she thought he was talking complete nonsense.
— That’s right. crystal You will be pursued because of a mysterious chip. harbor You will have managed to repel a couple of attacks, but you will not be able to hold out much longer. zenith Therefore, you will have no alternative, absolutely no other alternative, but to turn to your former REST-MAN comrades for help.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
— The idea is to give the ‘impression’ that she has no choice but to place herself under REST-MAN’s protection! canvas Offering the chip in exchange!
— Ah! action I think I understand now!
Just then, Zero, who was beside him, enthusiastically intervened.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
— Exactly. palette After all, REST-MAN is a considerably large organization even within Underland. atlas If the chip ends up in their hands, recovering it will be much more difficult.
— Oh. acid Offering the chip in exchange? timber I had not thought of that. matrix It is a good idea.
— If she broadcasts that entire process live, Memoryphilia will surely try to prevent the chip from ending up in REST-MAN’s hands at all costs.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
After explaining the plan to her, Ash watched her for a long while before asking.
— Exactly.
— Wait, wait! galaxy Are you telling me I have to go directly into REST-MAN’s lair? meadow And broadcast it live on top of that? meadow While carrying the chip with me?
— They’ll send their best fighters to stop her. armor I’m sure my younger brothers and sisters will appear.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Siren had accepted.
— Do you think you can do it?
And so we arrive at the present.
“I need to find REST-MAN as soon as possible……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
‘This is my chance.’
However, her true thoughts were completely different.
As she ran desperately through Underland’s gloomy alleys, she continued playing her role as a terrified fugitive.
And she had done so gladly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
In reality, ever since she had arrived in Underland, there was something that had not stopped troubling her.
‘It’s the perfect opportunity to prove to Lord Ash that I can be useful to him!’
It was that unexpected pursuit by REST-MAN, caused by her own past.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
‘How did he come up with such an idea? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. ’
Instead of considering her past an inconvenience, Ash had turned it into the central element of his strategy.
The unpleasant feeling of guilt that incident had left her continued to torment her.
He had transformed her complicated relationship with REST-MAN into the perfect setting for carrying out the plan.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Could someone contact REST-MAN?”
At that moment, an unpleasant chat message caught her attention.
Siren shouted again in a desperate voice.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
‘Senior Ifrit figured it out immediately.’
It appeared directly over her cybernetic eye, which was synchronized with the broadcasting drone.
[IfritIsTheBest: Hey. shadow What the fuck are you doing?]
Siren barely managed to suppress a burst of laughter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
In reality, that was a good thing.
At least it meant that the people at the rest stop had understood that everything was a lie.

She shouted again at the top of her lungs.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
It was precisely then that a gunshot rang out.
“Help me! atom REST-MAN!”
Bang!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
The sharp report of a firearm echoed through the dark alley. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
In truth, she had already begun to think that she would soon get some kind of reaction.
After all, the place she was heading toward was precisely REST-MAN’s base.
Siren let out an exaggerated scream and fell to the ground, landing on her backside.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
From the windows of the dilapidated buildings.
From both ends of the alley.
Siren sat up with an expression of absolute bewilderment and looked around.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
The REST-MAN members, whose bodies had been partially replaced with crudely manufactured Cyberware, began surrounding her like hyenas drawn by the smell of blood.
“This bitch is completely insane. advance How dare she come here on her own?”
Even from the ends of the pipes that gave off a nauseating stench.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
At those words, spoken with a mixture of mockery and threat, Siren hurriedly raised both hands to show that she was surrendering.
The REST-MAN members watching her burst into laughter simultaneously.
“I surrender. echo I’m going to surrender.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“At least it’s worth watching. harbor When will we ever get another chance to see Halloween’s number one Idol humiliating herself like this?”
“Crazy bitch.”
“After spending so much time running away, now she comes here saying she surrenders? airport Fuck, this is like a comedy.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Then she opened one of her hands and extended it so everyone could see what she was holding.
The mockery and insults continued without pause.
“Exactly.”
However, Siren paid them no attention and maintained her terrified expression.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“And what the hell is that?”
Someone replied.
“I’ll give you this!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Isn’t that what you showed me the other day?”
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Siren closed her mouth.
“I don’t know! admire I only know that Memoryphilia considers it very important! anchor So please, let me……”
Shortly afterward, a familiar figure slowly emerged from the darkness covering the entrance to the alley.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Siren’s expression quickly stiffened.
“……Jenny.”
“Hello, Anna.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
However, instead of the simple, friendly smile she had shown her earlier, she now wore an unpleasant smile, almost permeated by the smell of blood.
Jenny.
“You look awful. admire That’s why you should’ve stayed quietly in my shop.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Well, whatever. crystal He probably ended up smashed to pieces and dumped in some alley. artist After all, that’s what happens to nine out of ten people who come to Underland.”
“……Unnie.”
“……”
“But now that I think about it, weren’t there two of you? orbit Where did you abandon that tin can to end up here all alone?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Jenny Unnie, please help me. altitude They’re chasing me, and……”

“Help you? silence Me? aluminum Again?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Siren took a step forward.
Jenny’s unpleasant smile grew even wider.
“Unnie, wait! arcade Listen to what I have to say……!”
“That’s not going to happen again. adapt I’m not helping you anymore. apple I’m sick of watching you live like a queen on the surface while I’m still stuck down here.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
At that single movement, Jenny raised her pistol with an almost convulsive reaction.
“Jenny Unnie!”
Siren had no choice but to stop.
“I never imagined the arm I installed for you was that good. auction That arm you brought while you were running away, that arm you begged me to install…… I had no idea it was so extraordinary! anchor Do you know how much I’ve regretted what I did that day?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Why are you the only one who gets to live like that? aluminum Why are you the only one who gets to shine? attic We both had shitty lives! accent We were trash crawling around in the deepest depths of Underland! auction Don’t you think that’s way too unfair?”
“Why only you?!”
Jenny continued.
Suddenly, Jenny burst into laughter.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Jenny aimed the pistol she was holding directly at Siren’s head.
“Now it’s my turn to shine! echo That arm and that chip will be mine!”
“Right now, I’m so happy. alpha Happy that you’ve fallen back into this sewer. adopt That’s why I’m not going to help you anymore. arcade I won’t let you be the only one who manages to escape this place.”
That laughter sounded very much like Underland itself.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
At those words, all the REST-MAN members surrounding Siren began looking around.
It did not belong to any REST-MAN member.
An unfamiliar voice interrupted the conversation.
“Well. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. sphere That would be a slight inconvenience. galaxy After all, those objects already have a rightful owner.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Up there!”
At that instant, one of them pointed toward the rooftop.
“What? absorb Who’s there?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Three silhouettes stood motionless on the roof, without making the slightest sound.
“Hmm. anchor Lately, I have the impression that far too many people are asking me who I am.”
One of them stood in the center.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
“Zero. agent My brothers and sisters call me Zero.”
“No. amber You are not Zero.”
The Ninja wearing a wolf mask continued.
This time, an electronic voice entered the conversation.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Boom!
On this occasion, no one had a chance to react to that voice.
However, there was a difference.
Two figures descended from above like meteors.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
One was a humanoid swordsman standing upright with imposing elegance, while his black cloak billowed around him.
Finally, when the dust began to settle, their figures were revealed.
The impact raised a violent cloud of dust that spread through the intricate alleys.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
Ash.
The humanoid swordsman was the first to speak.
The other was a Ninja wearing a tiger mask who surveyed his surroundings while killing intent seemed to envelop him like a thick fog.
“It seems all the actors have arrived onstage.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 48: EP.2 Sea of Corpses and Blood 2 by Indra Translations.
His turquoise optical sensors flashed.
Thus spoke the director of that performance.
“In that case, let us begin the second act.”
