Cyberpunk: 2075

At the warehouse in the Arasaka seaside area of ​​Night City, Kenichi Shiro stopped and turned to look at the Carl team members walking behind him.

‘This is the promised reward warehouse. All the parts here are available for you to use. The verification is the ID card I gave you. With that ID card, you can enter and leave the seaside area at will, but remember...:”

Kenichi Shiro paused and looked at Karl: "You are not allowed to enter other places."

"I see."

After being brought to this place after leaving the super aircraft carrier, Carl had been quite silent during the journey, even now when he looked at the extremely large parts warehouse in front of him.

Of course, Karl is not taciturn by nature. He only maintains basic contact with Nobu Arasaka through communications.

Kenichi Shiro looked at Karl and saw from the way he held his cell phone that he was in contact with Nobu Arasaka. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Are you planning to take over the escort mission that Nobu Arasaka mentioned?" ?”

"Not necessarily. We're talking about remuneration and time now. If it's good, there's no reason to refuse."

Karl held up his mobile phone and said, "After all, you have to eat, and you have to work if you have to."

As he said that, Carl seemed to have remembered something and glanced at Kenichi Shiro: "If Mr. Kenichi Shiro, you want me to be a spy to help you find out about Nobu Arasaka, or to find an opportunity to become Nobu Arasaka, then that's fine. Yes, I am trustworthy. I will do my job well when I take the job, spy on the employer, attack the employer and so on... Let’s forget it.”

Kenichi Shiro had nothing to say about Carl's words about asking for information about Nobu Arasaka without taking it seriously, and what Nobu Arasaka said.

Carl's courage was beyond his expectation. When Kenichi Shiro mentioned this matter, he simply wanted to ask Carl his opinion on the matter of escorting Nobu Arasaka. As a result, Carl's mind immediately jumped to the idea that Kenichi Shiro wanted to do something to his employer. On... .

Kenichi Shiro couldn't help but ask himself, in his mind, was he the kind of person who would do such a thing?

"I just want to ask your opinion on Nobu Arasaka staying in Night City."

Kenichi Shiro remained calm: "What do you think he plans to do?"

"I will never discuss the employer after I accept the job, but I haven't accepted it now... According to my thinking, to be honest, I don't know."

Karl was very honest: "After all, today is the first time Nobu Arasaka and I have met. To be honest, he suddenly entrusted me, who was a stranger to him before and didn't know anything about him, to be his bodyguard. I was actually quite confused. of."

'It's certainly something to think about. "

Kenichi Shiro frowned and thought for a while, but he really didn't quite understand.

Not to mention that he fully understands the matters related to Karl. There is definitely something that he knows. Kenichi Shiro really doesn’t understand why Nobu Arasaka would choose an outsider who is not his own faction and has even participated in cleaning up his own faction to take on the responsibility. My own guard.

Guarding something like this, even for a short period of time, is a matter of personal life. If you choose outsiders like the KK team instead of more trustworthy hawk subordinates, it will cause considerable controversy even under Nobu Arasaka. Bar?

After a brief exchange, Kenichi Shiro, who could not understand Arasaka Nobu's approach, left. He planned to go back internally for some inspection and thinking. In any case, Arasaka in Night City was also the territory of the Dove faction. Even if Arasaka Nobu was a The dragon that crosses the river has to put away its teeth and sharp teeth if it wants to do something in this place.

The other members of the KK team who had witnessed the conversation between Carl and Kenichi Shiro finally no longer had to keep standing and waiting after Kenichi Shiro left. Among them, V almost couldn't wait to take out his identity verification card. He arrived at the warehouse door and swiped his verification at the checkpoint.

"It's finally over. Let's see what powerful parts we can move back for repair."

When Kenichi Shiro was present, because of his aura, Oliver, who was a little quiet at first, became active. He walked quickly to V and looked at the slowly opening warehouse door expectantly: "I hope there will be a cart inside. , we can load up the parts and go.”

"I actually think it would be okay if we drag the Sky Hera over and transform it."

Carl didn't have the excitement of V and Oliver who were very enthusiastic about modifying cars. He just stood there and watched the eight-meter-high warehouse door slowly open after swiping the card without moving.

"If we want to renovate this place, let's forget about it."

Jack shook his head and walked closer to the warehouse to look inside: "I glanced over and saw no less than four cameras from the open area. The renovation in this place may not have to be under the watchful eye of Arasaka. Our Don’t let Arasaka know about the secret transformation formula.”

"Secret transformation formula, are you Mr. Krabs..."

Carl said something that Jack and the others couldn't understand, and he also approached some warehouses after the doors were completely opened. And just as he approached, he heard the exclamations of V and Oliver who rushed in after the doors opened a little.

"This can't be Gree's car air-conditioning compressor, right? I remember this thing starts at 4,000 euros."

This was Oliver's surprise.

"The leaping clutch, I have never seen this thing before. I didn't expect that all these parts are available."

V was already like a little bee, jumping up and down everywhere in the warehouse, exclaiming from time to time.

"Can we really take all of these things?"

Even though they knew it was a reward for the operation, V and Oliver were a little bit unconvinced. It's not that these things are so precious. They can definitely afford to buy them if they want to. It's just that they didn't expect that there would be a whole warehouse for them to choose from.

"Take it, take it, take whatever you want."

Jack found a large cart next to the warehouse door: "This warehouse is all the rewards we can choose from. If you don't take it carefully, it will be unfair to us for this mission."

"That being said, we actually just stood there for a while."

Leaning against the door of the warehouse, Carl, who didn't know cars, believed in his partner's ability and continued to talk with Arasakase Nobu on the phone. As they talked, Carl's fingers paused.

Arasakase Nobu had already sent the outline of the task,

"Protect him during his short stay in Night City for ten days, and accompany him to various places in Night City to meet people.

Meet people?

For some reason, Carl suddenly remembered what he had heard in the Next Life Bar before.

It seems that the mercenaries in the city have received work during this period. I wonder if it has anything to do with the rumor that Arasakase Nobu came to Night City...
