January 14, A.D. 2096, Shibuya 11:00 p.m.
Late at night on a Saturday, though there were no cars on the street, it was filled with young people.
There were no cars in sight due to the changes in both the traffic system and the customary working hours. The self-driving (auto-pilot) individual transportation trams work around the clock. Besides, in a big city like Shibuya, there is no need to employ these vehicles that are ant for communal use, as by using the motorized sidewalks that have been laid out underground, one can reach the train station easily.
Moreover, in the present age, where infrastructure for working from ho has been upgraded, there is no longer any need for one to stay back in the office till late at night. In case of urgently needed work, the current trend in businesses is to settle it at ho and submit it back to the company via a private line. Modern offices are places for business negotiations, not places for paperwork. In the first place, as long as one is doing an honest business, the need for deliberately scheduling business negotiations at midnight would disappear.
Shibuya at night is the town of young people where adults figures are not seen.
In fact, one cannot see this kind of scene at this ti in any town other than Shibuya.
Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Roppongi Before the war, those towns flourished as shopping districts for young people; but now, seeing young people wandering and gathering late at night is a scene that one would only see here in Shibuya.
During the era of chaos which spanned two decades, at different periods, in Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Roppongi, as a result of the destructive activities caused by the foreigners, together with the extre devastation caused by the xenophobic activities[1] of the raging native youngsters in response to the foreigners' deeds, erged widespread vermiculated ruins. asures for the thorough restoration of public order were taken during the course of reconstruction, and these towns have been rebuilt as fairly dense bustling towns. But, Shibuya was the exception.
Since before the war, the degree of devastation had deepened and the disputes between youngsters intensified, and thus, as a result of being the first to expel the foreigners, in contrast Shibuya had been spared the absolute total destruction that had befallen the other towns. And as the lawlessness of the nights in Shibuya were left alone consequently even now, one cannot flatly assert that one end result is better than the other.
If this was such a lawless area, be it day or night, the "Redevelopnt" initiated by the governnt, and the local municipality who has beco very much intolerant to the absence of order as compared to the pre-war days, would probably have proceeded, as one might guess. The current administrative authorities have beco considerably strict regarding the restrictions on private rights related to real estate.
However, Shibuya holds completely different faade during dayti and night.
During the dayti, it is a business center where honest company employees busily co and go.
At night, it is a pleasure quarter where youngsters loiter, with the affectation of outlaws.
As they can't round them up at once, it's difficult for the authorities to take the plunge into redeveloping the city.
And on this very evening as well, at the beginning of the New Year, there were many youngsters gathered on the streets making as much of a racket as they wanted, laughing, flirting, and exchanging blows.
Among them, with finely chiseled features, and a sturdy build, a young mans figure could be seen.
Dressed in a sweatshirt and jumper pulled over it, which was unthinkably light clothing in the deep of winter, Leo was walking with faltering steps in Shibuya in the dead of the night. Although we use the word 'faltering' here, his legs and feet were properly covered in jeans and sneakers. However, judging by the steps he was taking, he seed to have no specific destination in mind.
Leo had one bad pasti. No, rather than a pasti, it was probably a habit.
The habit of roaming.
Not walking, running, nor shouting, but roaming in the night.
As the dead of the night drew near, he would want to randomly wander about in uncertainty.
Leo thought that this was due to his instincts that have been carved into his bodys genes.
He is the third generation of the "Burg Folge (Fortress Series)" that was developed in Germany in the initial days, which put the technique of tuning Magicians via genetic manipulation in practical use for the first ti in the world.
The Burg Folge was a body tuning technique developed with an emphasis on improving the durability of the body. In those days, in order to raise close quarters combat ability, thought to be the weaker point of magicians, rather than strengthening magic ability, the Burg Folge, which strengthened the physical abilities contained in genes, brought forth a breed of "Super soldiers that can use magic
