As he closed his system’s communication channel, Ash dodged the bullets coming from behind and rushed into the entrance of an alley.
Boom!
Ratatat!
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Following Siren’s shout, Ash dashed into the narrow alley.
“Lord Ash! arctic This way!”
The spot where he had been standing only moments earlier was riddled with a hail of projectiles.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The two were being pursued.
Therefore, Ash’s decision to abandon that place immediately had been correct.
Jenny’s workshop had been a trap.
To be more precise, they were being pursued by numerous individuals wearing the REST-MAN emblem.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Heroine Siren. adjust I believe the time has come to ask you.”
They had simply begun moving before their enemies finished establishing the encirclement.
However, that did not mean they had managed to escape every threat.

“Ask me what?”
“Just how serious was your betrayal, exactly? artist I have the impression that every REST-MAN member in Underland is gathering to pursue us……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
A REST-MAN member standing on an old elevated walkway pointed at them.
“Here they are! adapt They’re here!”
He had not even finished speaking.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
At those words, Siren gritted her teeth.
“……So, for now, it would be best to keep running.”
At the same time, voices and murmurs began rising from every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
That city, intertwined like a spiderweb, was slowly but inexorably closing around them.
They were surrounded by enemies.
Not only at the end of the alley ahead of them, but also on the elevated walkways and rooftops.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
‘I’m such an idiot.’
‘Did you forget everything just because a few years passed? legend This is Underland.’
And Siren knew perfectly well that this entire situation had been caused by her own past.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Had she forgotten how easily things as fragile as friendship and loyalty could be broken and betrayed?
Had her life on the surface made her completely forget what kind of place this was?
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?
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - 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.

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 Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“I’m sorry, Lord Ash. legend Because of me……”
However, his response was somewhat unexpected.
Ash turned his head slightly upon hearing those murmurs.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“I mean, why do you behave this way only when you are with me? silence When you deal with other people, you seem to have quite a strong personality.”
“I’m sorr…… Huh? canvas What do you mean……?”
“There is something I have wanted to ask you for some time. advance Why do you behave this way?”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“……”
Ash looked forward again.
“And furthermore, why are you apologizing? amber If anyone should apologize, it is that woman named Jenny. autumn You are a victim. anxiety Just like me.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“So let us stop blaming ourselves for what happened. apron Do you not have something more important to attend to?”
Ash pointed ahead.
Just then, a fork appeared before them.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - 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.
There was something she had to do.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“……This way!”
Serve as a guide.
That was precisely Siren’s ‘task.’
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Because she already knew that both ended in dead ends.

However, she did not choose either path at the fork.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - 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 Swordsman - 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! acid Fire!”
The two advanced along the pipes with precarious balance, as though performing acrobatics, occasionally jumping from one building to another.
The REST-MAN members opened fire from below and from the rooftops of buildings at a similar height.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
They were the hand signals commonly used by Pathfinders.
[Accelerate] [Jump] [Right]
At a certain moment, Siren, who was running ahead, raised a hand and made a series of signals.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Ash immediately understood their meaning and increased his speed to match Siren’s pace.
Whoosh!
Both jumped at the same time.
Thus, they reached the end of that pipe.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The distance they had jumped far exceeded human capabilities.
From below came the astonished shouts of the REST-MAN members.
Their figures cut through the air in an extraordinarily long leap.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
With a brief sound of tearing flesh, the man’s body was split in two and fell to the ground.
Slash!
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.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Which way next?”
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.
“We have to cross over there!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Ash surveyed the scene as his optical sensors flashed. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
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 Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The two swordsmen did not hesitate.
“I shall go first.”
At those words, Siren immediately positioned herself behind him without raising any objections.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Maintaining that improvised formation, they charged toward the walkway.
A hail of bullets rushed toward them at the same time as Ash’s sword began moving as though it were dancing.
Ratatat!
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - 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.
“You damned tin ca……!”
Another REST-MAN member, startled, hurriedly raised his weapon.
The man leading the group was cut like a sheet of paper before he could finish his insult.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Aaaaaah!”
However, Siren’s sword, as she advanced directly behind Ash, severed his wrist.
The man screamed in pain, lost his balance, and fell over the side of the walkway.

Perhaps that scene gave them an idea.
“Push them! sphere Throw those bastards off!”
His figure quickly disappeared into the city’s darkness.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Someone shouted among the REST-MAN members.
At that command, the men, overcome by fear, began letting out strange cries as they attempted to engage them in hand-to-hand combat.
However, that decision proved to be a terrible mistake.
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.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - 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.
Crunch!
Hand-to-hand combat on a structure as unstable as an elevated walkway.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - 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.
The Chest Armor protecting his torso was completely deformed by the impact.
A burly REST-MAN member who had lunged at Ash was sent flying after receiving a single shoulder strike. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
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.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
She also took care of finishing off the survivors left behind after Ash passed.
Siren did not remain idle either.
She precisely targeted the joints and vital points of approaching enemies, causing them to lose their balance and making Ash’s advance easier.
“Argh!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
A REST-MAN member received a kick from Siren to his side, staggered, and ended up falling from the bridge.
When they finally managed to cross it, Siren wiped the blood from around her mouth and turned her head.
Until they reached the end of the walkway.
In that manner, the two continued advancing while crushing everything that stood in their way.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“W-Wait!”
“Don’t do it!”
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 Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
“Stop!”
“Damn it, I’m telling you not to do it!”
Siren did not stop.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
The startled REST-MAN members desperately fired their weapons.
She immediately raised her sword and delivered a powerful strike against one of the old cables supporting the walkway.
The worn and corroded steel cable began to shake.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Amid that hail of bullets passing around her without hitting her, Siren raised her sword again.
And delivered another strike.
However, it was impossible to aim properly on a walkway swaying like that.
And another.
Translation of Cyberpunk Swordsman - Chapter 45: Different Dreams in the Same Bed by Indra Translations.
Snap!
Until, at a certain moment.

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