Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old - Chapter 4.6

「Is it that place?」

Yui and I were in an alley downtown.

Surrounded by tall buildings, the alley was just barely narrow enough for anyone to hold the walls of each side with both hands.

From the corner of the alley, we saw a dark Valkyrie in the middle of “eating”.

The one being eaten is a girl dressed like a gyaru.

By the time we arrived, she was long gone.

I can’t see her face due to a propane tank blocking the view from here.

If she’s already been eaten down to her torso, even her family won’t be able to know it’s her.

Although it’s not far from the main street, there was no sign of anyone around thanks to the variant’s human dispersing effect.

「(Do they show up like this everyday?)」

I asked Yui in a whisper.

Yui is wearing a fitting black jacket and a black mini-skirt. Underneath it is, of course, her black tights.

They may look conspicuous in bright areas and it makes her look like a punk but it’s perfect for hiding in the dark.

In addition, I personally like it.

Though that doesn’t matter.

-0-

I, on the other hand, am wearing a black t-shirt and G-pants.

I would like to say that it’s for ease of movement but….I only have clothes like this.

High school students spend weekdays in uniforms so it can’t be helped.

I didn’t change much when I entered the workforce though…..

「(I don’t know how many members the organization has but, according to the reports, there should be a few a month at most.)」

「(How does the organization find them?)」

「(They narrow down the list mainly by looking at missing persons and deaths reported by the local police. The analyzed report will be sent to those who are on the field like me and then, we’ll search for them manually.)」

「(I don’t think that’s a good way to search for them….)」

The memories of a person who has been eaten will rapidly disappear so the usual method of investigation will not work.

What little information can be recorded is probably only a small fraction of the total.

Most of the information will probably be forgotten without being recorded or investigated.

「(Try fighting it alone.)」

「(So, this is a test run for the new gungnir)」

The modification of Yui’s black tights was completed during lunch break.

The output remains the same but the burden on the user has been drastically reduced.

Not only will Yui be able to fight a long battle, she will also be able to shoot magic a few times.

「(Don’t let your guard down.)」

「(I know)」

The presence of friends is an overwhelming boost to one’s fighting power compared to fighting alone.

However, it is also an unavoidable fact that when you have allies who are overwhelmingly stronger than you, you will let your guard down without realizing it.

「(The challenge for today is to defeat it unharmed. Also, having enough energy where you can leave this place alone after defeating it.」

「(Okay. Understood)」

「(Then, lesson 1, use the terrain to your advantage.)」

「(Understood, master)」

Yui gave a stiff salute, activated her gungnir, and darted out from where we were.

Then, pulled out a handgun she hid under her miniskirt.

Haa!? Gun!?
