Unlimited Blade Works of the Raging Dimension 48

Title: End and Beginning

Wave was extremely angry now. The mother and daughter who were about to be abused by Syura and the others were their acquaintances—Bors’ wife and daughter.

Unexpectedly, Bors, who looked intimidating but was actually very shy, had been married for six years and had a beautiful daughter. The members of the Jaegers had also become familiar with them because they often sent lunch boxes for Bors. Bors’ wife was as gentle as Bors, and their daughter was very cute, so the Jaegers members had a very good relationship with them.

But now, Wave had just witnessed Wild Hunt attempting to assault his friend’s wife and daughter. He couldn’t hold back from stepping forward.

“Damn you, I’ll cut you into pieces.”

Enshin clutched his chest and stood up shakily from the ground. He was shocked by Wave’s full-powered attack and was severely injured, but this also triggered his violent nature.

“Wait, Enshin, let me handle this.”

“Mind your own business, Syura. I’m going to tear that guy apart.”

“Do you want to disobey me?”

“I... Tsk, fine, I’ll leave it to you.”

Enshin seemed to have thought of something, suppressing the anger in his heart, and let Syura step forward to resolve the matter.

Seeing this, Syura nodded in satisfaction, but he wasn’t done yet. He turned and stopped Champ, who was about to move, and then turned to Wave and the other two, saying, “Hey, kid, you said you’re a member of the Jaegers?”

“So what? I’ve made it very clear now. You’re under arrest.” Wave had no intention of being polite to them and was ready to take action against them directly.

“Hey, kid, we’re members of the secret police organization Wild Hunt. We suspect that woman over there is connected to Night Raid. We’re just conducting a routine inspection.”

Wave’s tone offended Syura. This second-generation rich kid not only had the strongest backer but also possessed considerable strength, which made him arrogant. Faced with Wave’s words, he couldn’t help but speak with a hint of anger.

“Night Raid? How dare you say that? This woman and her daughter are family members of a Jaegers member. How could they be connected to Night Raid? Stop talking nonsense.”

“You damn brat, don’t be shy. I’m the Prime Minister’s son. If you attack me, it’s the same as attacking the Prime Minister. You know what will happen.”

Syura was so angry that his pretense was torn apart. He hadn’t expected that the beautiful woman was actually connected to a Jaegers member, and Wave’s tone made him furious.

“I don’t care whose son you are. If you’ve committed a crime, you must face the punishment. Don’t try to escape.”

The smell of gunpowder gradually grew stronger, and both sides showed signs of an impending fight. Wave even placed his hand on the hilt of Grand Chariot. Wild Hunt’s behavior had infuriated him.

“Wait, Wave. This might be a misunderstanding. Everyone, please calm down.”

Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, Run, who was behind Wave, stepped between them and prevented the conflict.

“Since we’re all police, we should cooperate and not engage in conflicts on the streets. After all, this is just a small misunderstanding, right?”

“Hmph! Remember that next time.”

Seeing Run standing between them, Syura knew he couldn’t fight anymore. After all, even though he was furious, the Jaegers were now stronger than Wild Hunt. With Enshin injured, Wild Hunt was at a disadvantage in this situation. If a fight really broke out, they would suffer.

Seeing the three of them about to leave, Wave, whose anger hadn’t subsided, wanted to stop them but was held back by Run.

“Run, you...”

Facing Wave’s confused expression, Run shook his head and said to Kurome, “Kurome, can you take them back to the base?”

“Alright.” Kurome agreed easily. She also saw that Run and Wave had something to discuss, so she took Bors’ wife and daughter back to the base first.

As the mother and daughter expressed their gratitude, Run and Wave bid them farewell.

When only Wave and Run were left, Wave couldn’t hold back any longer and asked Run, “Run, why did you...?”

“You want to ask me why I let those three go.” Run looked at him and explained seriously, “Wave, I know you don’t want to, but have you thought about what would happen if you did this?”

“After that...” Wave vaguely understood something.

He wasn’t a fool who knew nothing. He was just a soldier with a straightforward nature. After Run’s enlightenment, he understood.

“That guy named Syura has a special relationship with the Prime Minister. Whether he can be punished after being arrested is still up for discussion.” Run looked into Wave’s eyes and continued to explain, “They are all Imperial Arms users like us. Once we start fighting, it will be a stalemate, which means nothing to us, but what if something happens to Bors’ family during the fight? We have no idea about the abilities of the enemy’s Imperial Arms. Even if we use Kurome, it’s hard to say whether the Imperial Arms can stop them.”

“Is that so? But I still feel a bit reluctant.” Wave clenched his fists tightly.

“Don’t worry, someone will take care of them, but the timing isn’t right yet.”

Run looked at Wave’s unwilling expression, and a hint of regret flashed through his heart.

“Sorry, Wave, I just need to make sure of this. This is also one of the reasons why I joined the Jaegers.”

“Come on, Wave, let’s go back first. We still have some documents to handle.”

“Oh, let’s go.”

Wave had adjusted his mindset and followed Run back to the base.

“So, Wild Hunt did this?”

Shirou, who had just returned from outside, heard Run’s report and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

“Yes, but if a conflict had broken out in that situation, the impact of a large-scale close-quarters battle among six Imperial Arms users would have been too great, and Bors’ family was also nearby, so I stopped it.” Run explained.

“It’s fine, you did a great job handling this matter. If it had happened, General Budo might have had to take action. It would have been a bit complicated. But if the other side deliberately provokes you, just take action directly.”

One thing to explain is that before Esdeath left, she had instructed all the Jaegers to follow Shirou’s orders while she was away.

Shirou’s immense strength was very convincing, and no one objected, but he had been away frequently lately, so the leadership of the Jaegers was basically handled by Run. Of course, when Shirou was present, he still had to report.

‘Wild Hunt? The Prime Minister? This world is supposed to end.’

After waving his hand to dismiss Run, Shirou sat alone in the room, gazing at the sky outside the window, wondering what was on his mind.
