Chapter 111: Mihazono in the Wake of the Anomaly
Once theyâd finally reached Mihazono and Akira had parked just outside the ruin, it became immediately obvious to the two of them just how dire things had gotten since their last visit.
The area was bustling. The overflow from the ruinâs already-packed parking garageânot just desert utility vehicles belonging to individual hunters but also trailers doubling as mobile stores for selling hunter necessitiesâwere parked all over. A makeshift clinic, as well as provisional bases for several relic hunter syndicates, had also been set up.
Security guards were busy directing traffic to keep the path to the Hunter Office outpost clear. One of them called out to Akira. âSorry, kid, but you canât park your car hereâyouâre blocking traffic! If youâre just picking someone up or dropping them off, though, thatâs fine. The original parking garage is full, but theyâve set up a temporary one over there.â The official pointed. Then, looking amused, he added, âAlso, just to let you know, if you came here to hunt relics, Iâd reconsider. Itâs a little more dangerous than usual today.â
No sooner had he said this, a building in the distance toppled over, as if to prove his point. A vast cloud of smoke billowed up, blanketing the whole area around it. Clearly some large-scale battle was taking place within the ruins.
Akira smiled dryly. âOh yeah? I couldnât have guessed.â
âWell, donât say I didnât warn you. Take care!â
After the guard had left, Akira took out his terminal and tried to contact Elena and Sara again. They still didnât pick up. Without him realizing it, his face became grim.
Carol saw his expression and pulled out her own terminal. âNo dice, huh?â
âNo. I thought maybe I might have better luck if we were in the same ruin. But at this rate, itâs not looking good.â From the way that building had just collapsed, he figured the situation inside Mihazono was likely even worse than heâd expected.
Akira didnât plan to just stand there and speculate, nor did he have any intention of turning back. However, he realized meeting up with Elena and Sara was going to be tougher than heâd initially assumed, and his expression hardened even more.
Then Akira noticed that Carol was busy talking to someone on her terminal.
âYeah, itâs me,â she was saying. âYeah, Iâm calling about that favor from earlier. Whatâd you find out? Yeah, yeah, I know. Iâll pay you, so donât worry.â Suddenly she looked surprised. âHuh? Wait, really? Are you sure? Okay, fine, Iâll try it. Catch you later.â She hung up and turned to Akira with an uncertain, somewhat exasperated expression. âHey, Akira. Can you connect your terminal to mine and try calling your friend again?â
âHuh? Sure.â Puzzled, he still did as he was told.
Someone picked up. âHi Akira, Elena here,â came his friendâs voice. âSorry to have you call me so early in the morning. Listen, about the rescue job...â
It had connected.
Akira was so surprised he let out a yelp, which surprised Elena on the other end as well.
