“Yeah . ”

Akira returned to his job stuffing old-world relics into his rucksack .

Akira’s question was not fully answered yet . To be more precise, although his last question was answered, it only led to more questions that were still unanswered . He understood the basis of Alpha’s judgement, but he still had no idea why she used those as the basis of her judgement .

The old-world factories that were considered as old-world relics were still producing autonomous weapons even right now . Normally, the blueprints used to produce those monsters and the program installed inside their control units should be a secret . There should not be that many people who had access to them even during the time when those factories were built, and of course, there should be even fewer people who knew those secrets now .

But for some reason, Alpha knew about them . Akira thought that he should be able to know the reason if he just asked her, but he decided to hold himself back from asking that question . It was because he felt that Alpha would not want him to ask that question .

Alpha did ask him for confirmation back then . That was because she actually did not want Akira to ask that .

Alpha was actually under a leash . There were things that she could not do without Akira’s permission, so it was only to be expected that she had other limitations too . That might also be the reason why she could not say no when Akira asked her that question, she might only be able to give a vague answer to point out that he would regret knowing the answer to his question .

That was why Akira did not pursue any further . He felt like if he asked that question, Alpha might turn hostile against him, that’s why he decided to just shelf that question .

All the questions that welled up thanks to his curiosity were starting to leak out . Nonetheless, Akira continued to suppress them . After all, compared to the usefulness of Alpha’s support, those questions were worth nothing to him . Or at least, that was the case for now .

The real reason as to why Alpha told Akira to fight those autonomous monsters was simply to give Akira a good feel of how great her support was, it was to strengthen that impression on him . Though, Akira did not realize that at all .
