Rebuild World

8 Believe

As soon as Akira returned safely to the city, she made her way to the Hunter's Office shopping post. And line up in the purchase window row the same way as last time. The official in charge was the same man named Nozima as before.

Nojima remembered Akira. But not immediately, I try to respond as someone else.

"If you have a hunter's card, give it... is that you"

Nojima was a little surprised as Akira changed. When I saw him before, he was only a child of Slam Street. Not now. The difference in appearance due to researching the minimum gear as a hunter with possessions taken from the Cahimos is certainly also significant. But that's not all. The unique atmosphere emitted by those baptized in the wilderness is slightly haunted. That's the biggest difference.

I'm not a self-proclaimed hunter who just completed hunter registration. Still running out, but there did stand a hunter there.

If this were the case, we would be able to get through here without dying. Nojima thinks so and laughs lightly, she regains her mind and confirms her purchase.

"This time the product..., that's subtle. Was he just lucky last time?

Akira distorts her face in disgust after she has been ketched by the product that she took home with her life on the bend.

"I'm sorry it was subtle. This is still a relic of the old world that I took home from the ruins. You should be able to get what you paid for last time.... What do you mean, lucky?

Akira turns her surprised face to Nojima. Then Nojima laughed with pleasure.

"We'll see soon enough"

Nojima operated the terminal at hand when she placed the purchases on the shelf behind each tray, just like the last one. The banknote is then discharged from the device on the side (buckwheat). Pack that in an envelope, laugh and put it in front of Akira.

"The amount assessed for the last purchase and the amount paid in advance for this purchase is 200,000 aurum."

Akira overflew consciousness for a moment when she heard the payment. Then slowly grab the envelope. And when I picked out the banknotes in the contents and realized the reality with my vision and feel, I deepened the agitation in a half-assed manner. Only a few days ago, for those who killed each other around 300 orum, the weight of that amount is just out of digits.

Nojima laughs with pleasure at Akira's reaction.

"You rarely get a kid like that here, do you? Well, you use it dearly. Look, if you don't just go, you're gonna stand out. Go away."

Akira hurried back to me and danced the envelope to her nostalgia, leaving the store in an irresistible move. Nojima was smiling bitterly when she saw Akira's hindsight returning slightly from a rushing hunter to a slum street child.

Akira hasn't lost her upset since she left the store. There is no sign of calm at all. Seeing how it goes, Alpha speaks in a calm tone.

"Akira, calm down. Looks like he's got some money on his end. It's gonna be tough up ahead, huh?

Akira unwittingly speaks to those words, which are very unthinkable from the monetary sensation that stains her.

"Ha, end (did) gold!? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!? That's 200K ORAM!? A lot of money!"

I assure you in a slightly stronger tone as Alpha stares at Akira.

No, it's gold. With my support, if you think of it as a life-threatening sum, it's definitely gold. Akira, too. "

"Well, even if they say so..."

'And now Akira is a suspicious man who talks in the void. Be careful.'

Akira hurriedly shut her mouth. Now I am a duck who is suspicious of behavior because of the fact that I got a lot of money. I felt that way and tried to calm down, but it didn't do much good.

"Don't take it, let's take the day off already. I'm exhausted from the ruins. And you can't stand out here until you calm down."

"Oh, yeah. Okay."

Akira tried to make her way to her usual bed, still largely unsettled, although she regained some calm to answer in a whisper. But I can stop Alpha with a serious face.

'No, you can't. Not that way.'

"What? The bunk's this way, huh?

'No, I'm not. I'm staying at the inn. You'd have money, wouldn't you?

"Oh, yeah..."

Akira was hesitant to spend the money she earned at the corner (because of it) on the Inn because of her stained sense of money. Then Alpha smiles gently as she embarrasses the child.

"If you spare the money, it will be easier to die. I'm not wasting it. You've earned well, so use it correctly and effectively. I'll help you spend your money.... That's good, right? You believe in my support, don't you?

If they say so, Akira can't say no either. Accumulate trust with actions and their consequences. That's what we promised each other. Nod with a serious face that is slightly prepared while reducing the mild palpitations caused by the sense of money.

…… Okay. "

'Thank you. So shall we go to the inn? It's my choice, but is it good?

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

"Over here."

Alpha laughs and leads Akira. I wondered how much the inn would cost, and Akira followed him later remembering his indelible anxiety to erase.

Naturally, hunters are allowed to bring in firearms, etc. Since arming against monsters is all powerful and using them to make noise can cause enormous damage to the inn and guests alike, guests are required to behave well. As long as we keep it, those who come don't refuse, but it's fundamental.

It should also be noted that even in the event of a noise caused by the dead, if the compensation is to be paid exactly to the innkeeper, the range of well-behaved guests (Hanchi) is sufficient. It's a cheap lodging for hunters in the vicinity of Slam Street, so the standards around it are also loose. Even if a child in Slam Street asks for a room armed, they won't be denied accommodation as long as they have the money. Akira was able to stay with me without any problems.

Akira was set to stay in a room in the same price range at this inn. The room is quite large. As a hunter-friendly accommodation, this is to ensure a large space for the maintenance of equipment and the placement of returned artifacts. It also has a bath. It also has a bed. The fridge also contains groceries. Above all, it's safer than outside. There is a difference between a sleeping bed in an alley and a cloud mud.

Akira also fully understands its value. Still, there was no such thing as rising to luxury that was not comparable to a normal bed, and Ning had a complex look that seemed a little bitter.

"20,000 orum per night... I can't believe it..."

Apart from being able to understand its value and not hesitate to pay for it. Akira's hand, paying for the inn, was shaking a little. It was Alpha who chose the room. If Akira had chosen for herself, it would have been a cheaper room.

The appearance of Akira, who exhales gently, also appears to be slightly drooling in unintentional waste. Alpha laughs bitterly at the way it looks.

'I know you have a lot on your mind, but why don't you take a bath first and get some rest?

"... bath? Take a bath!

As soon as she heard the word bath, Akira suddenly changed her attitude and revealed her joy.

Slam Street also has about a bathed dwelling. However, only a limited number of people have access to the facility. Unless they occupy the building or can pay for it, there is basically no bathing opportunity. All a child can do to make an alley like Akira a place to live is soak a cloth cut with water that is not suitable for drinking water and wipe his body.

Akira headed to the bathroom in a good mood, remembering the last bath she had only remembered.

Pour water in the tub. Wash your body in the meantime. Use a large amount of water for luxury, and wash the entire body without any kuma with the soap provided. Enjoy the luxury of not being able to live in an alley. It took quite some time for the flushed water to stop clouding and for the soap to become better foaming.

After thoroughly washing her entire body, she immersed herself in the hot tub as soon as she confirmed that the water had dried up in the tub. Soak (and soak) your shoulders in the water and weaken as you make strange noises. And leave yourself to a feeling of comfort where general fatigue melts out. Immediately the expression began to bend and loosen to the pleasure of bathing, and the consciousness dissolved in the water, leaking a small voice not slightly out of his mouth.

"How about some hot water?

Face the voice with Akira's much loose consciousness. There, Alpha was soaking in the hot tub together. She sat on Akira's side (buckwheat), and dyed her skin slightly on the vermilion due to the warmth (soaking) of the water. A drop flows over its skin and is sucked into the valley of the chest. The only thing that hides its glossy and beautiful body is the refraction of the water and the drifting hot air.

Regardless, there is no way that an alpha without an entity can be immersed in water. That's just how Akira displays herself within her sight. However, the drawing is brilliant due to advanced computational abilities, and there is no discomfort at all. He even calculates and draws the shaking, transmission and reflection of water. Unless you reach out and try to touch it, I just think it's real there. Only a wave of water through the enchanting flesh showed that the Lord of its beauty was not real there.

Akira answers with a blur.

"... awesome.... Why are you naked?

Smile (cheer) with Alpha's slightly upbeat face.

"You wouldn't take a bath in your clothes, would you?

"... Indeed"

Akira nodded slightly as she was convinced, so she finished her reaction to Alpha. I keep my gaze back in front and leave myself blurry and in the hot tub.

Alpha was unhappy with Akira's reaction as she smiled (cheeks) without changing her appearance.

'Akira. Look at me now, do you have anything to say?

Akira leaned (scratched) her neck a little strangely, thinking with a head whose consciousness was already largely dissolved in the water. And answer the interruption.

…… ... sure,... something like computer graphics,... making... what was that?

'There is. Sure, but that's not the story. You know, there's something about how you feel about me right now, how you feel about shaping, what you think frankly, right?

Akira leans and looks at Alpha again. And I conceive in a cohesive consciousness, and I mouth the results.

"... breasts,... big?

Alpha laughs bitterly.

"I did want to hear about that kind of story, about my assessment of my body, my preferences, my interests... but now it doesn't seem to matter"

Akira's reaction is harsh and dull, even though the boy of his age bathes with naked beauties, albeit only in sight. It shows no interest in Alpha's busty chest, moist, wet (wet) and uplifted skin, or in her buttocks shaking with a wave of water. Now that he has left himself to the hot tub and enjoys the sensation of water and the pleasure of warmth (soaking), alpha nudity is not important at all. Akira's eyes spoke so eloquently.

Before Akira's consciousness melts into the hot tub and she is invited to a deep sleep, Alpha laughs bitterly and cautions.

"Stay asleep and you'll drown, won't you?

"... are you dying here?... What can I do?

"Get out of the bath, wipe your body properly, put on your clothes, and sleep in bed"

"... ok"

Akira gets up fluttered and slowly leaves the tub. He left the bathroom, wiped his body, wore his outfit, and fell into bed. Then he is immediately attacked by an unbearable sleeper.

"Good night."

"Oh... Sumi..."

To Alpha, who smiled gently (cheeks) as usual, Akira responded with a hard time with a consciousness that was about to disappear after being drunk by a sleeper. And I went straight to a deep sleep.

The next day, Akira woke up after the sunrise. I spend a lot of time sleeping by the standards of my normal life. The fatigue that had hoisted and the comfort of the bed, which was exceptionally soft compared to the ground in the alley, did not awaken Akira at the usual time.

Even after I woke up, I was a little blurred by the comfort of it, even though I was perplexed by the feeling that something was different than usual. Then I can smile and speak to Alpha.

"Morning, Akira. You've slept well. '

"... good morning. Alpha....? Wait! Where are we!?

As soon as she was heard and her consciousness woke up a little more, Akira jumped to the surprise of being in a strange place. And I looked around in a hurry. In an alley, it's a deadly delay. No wonder he's already dead, and it's cruel to panic just for that matter.

Alpha answers in a gentle tone trying to calm Akira down.

'This is the inn room I stayed in yesterday. You forgot?

When Akira remembered yesterday, she relieved herself of her guard and exhaled her soothing breath.

"... it was. I stayed at the inn."

Alpha points to the fridge.

Why don't you take it for breakfast? You don't have to go to the distribution office today. You can take your time. '

The contents of the groceries are included in the accommodation bill. There is no refund even if left behind. Akira began to prepare her breakfast in a bit of an upbeat mood for a meal she could get even without lining up.

Warm frozen foods with cookware. The drinking water is cold. That's all that's separate from the rationing meal. Eat it in your own space, a private room, in an environment where there is no danger of being taken away by others. Until yesterday, my face will naturally loosen up when I enjoy a different meal.

It was worth the 20,000 aurum.

Alpha laughs at me so well, as if I've read the inside of that Akira.

"It's good to stay in the inn, isn't it?

…… Oh. Good. "

The twisted part of Akira gave me a slight hesitation to answer honestly, but I can't think of any objections such as this, and I'm sure I appreciate it, so Akira answered firmly in a reverse reopened manner. Alpha laughs contentedly and continues the conversation.

'I'll tell you what's coming up during the meal. Basically, I'll be exploring the ruins at 1 a week, and assigning all the rest to training and study. Don't complain there, even if you wanted to make more money collecting opportunities.'

"Okay."

"Oh, that's quite honest."

The reaction of Akira, which was very different from what she had just twisted (twisted), showed that Alpha seemed a little unexpected. Then Akira answers with a serious look.

"I've decided to believe in Alpha."

Believe. Akira uttered the word without thinking deeply. But that was a word that meant a lot to Alpha.

'Yes. When you're done eating, we'll get started. Eat slowly.'

Akira snorted lightly and continued eating. Alpha kept staring at Akira.

After the meal, Alpha gave a serious look in front of Akira.

"Akira. I'm going to tell you something very important right now, so listen seriously."

Akira also snorted with a serious look. When Alpha had this look in the past, it was only if there was an imminent danger of death for her. I remember mild tension when I think of it, and my attitude naturally becomes something serious.

Alpha snorted back. Immediately afterwards, the expression suddenly changed to something cruel and clerical.

Akira looks a little surprised.

"Alpha?"

Alpha does not respond to the call and begins to speak in an administrative tone commensurate with the expression on her face.

"Is it appropriate to carry out a wide variety of operations on Akira without prior explanation or consent in order to facilitate the implementation of more advanced support for Akira? This includes obtaining and utilizing Level 5 Personal Information without consent. Obtaining supplementary information for descriptive content is optional '

Akira was puzzled by both Alpha's appearance and the content of the story.

"I mean... what do you mean?

'The estimated time required to obtain the contents of the Regulation by oral explanation and an individual overview will be approximately 120 years. The time required to recognize the details cannot be calculated as it stands. The prioritization method for priority items is prescribed by the ordinance recognition calculation method A887 bias avoidance method. the content of the rules by oral description of the item in question, and the estimated time required to obtain an individual summary…'.

"... uh, I'm not sure what that means, but should I say yes?

You agree with all details that do not contradict the outline. This includes narrow-minded thought induction, broad-minded free will interference. The protection of the life and ideology of the subject is synonymous with the restraint of life and ideology by virtue of Article 213873 of the Self-Containing Behavior Act. This includes all provisions for special collaborators in non-applicable areas. At the same time…… '

Akira couldn't understand the description at all. Still trying to figure it out, I repeated the question with my mouth pinched along the way, slightly confused. But Alpha returns a longer and more elusive explanation without changing her clerical attitude. As a result, Akira gave up understanding of the explanation.

I don't know what it is, but Alpha wants some sort of permission from herself. Disobeying Alpha's instructions dramatically increases the risk of death. I have decided to build trust by believing in Alpha. From those judgments, experiences and determination, Akira came to a serious look when she concluded after worrying.

"The answer to the first question is yes,"

'I'll double-check. Is it appropriate to perform a wide variety of operations on Akira without prior explanation or consent in order to facilitate the implementation of more advanced support for Akira?

"Yes."

When Akira says so, the administrative atmosphere disappears from Alpha's attitude. And he smiles happily.

'Thank you. I'm fine. Don't worry, I won't do anything wrong.'

Akira was relieved that Alpha was back. After that, he shows just a little dissatisfaction.

"Isn't that what you should have said from the beginning?

"We had a lot of trouble, and we needed to talk about it earlier (to talk about it). There are troublesome procedures (to avoid trouble). It's like that in the world. By the way, Akira, what do you think about my breasts, though we were in the bathroom yesterday?

Akira panics a little to the abrupt question of smiling (cheeks) deeply.

"Hey, why are you suddenly asking me that?

"I asked Akira yesterday about my naked feelings, and she said she had big breasts."

"... did I say that?

'I told you. I just answered what was asked. Though it was like that. But the fact that you answered that in such a state of obscurity meant that Akira was still interested in my chest. You want to touch it?

Alpha was smiling a little provocatively for fun. Akira bent her umbilical (navel) slightly in such a way that it was somewhere else. I don't feel like answering honestly. But even in the sense of building trust with Alpha, I don't want to throw up. So I give a reply that can be both affirmative and negative.

"... no, you can't, can you?

'Not now. But if Akira wants it, it's possible after my designated ruins attack. How's that? Interested? You want to touch it?

"When you attack a ruin, why are you touching it?

"The explanations around here are tricky. So what do you say? Do you want to touch it?

Akira also looks surprised by Alpha's slightly persistent attitude.

"... what the hell are you trying to say from now on?

Alpha smiles for fun.

"We are trying to improve Akira's motivation in the long term by offering an easy to understand reward for results."

"I mean, color tricks"

'That's what I'm talking about. Hi Akira. It seems to be ineffective to complain visually, so I thought I'd complain tactile. You saw my nakedness up close, but you're a little blunt, aren't you?

Akira exhaled heavily in a slightly ridiculous answer to the springing question.

"You do that when I'm older. When I grow up, I'll see plenty and touch plenty. Is that all right?

'Right. Akira and I are going to be dating for a long time, so have plenty of fun then.'

Alpha replied confidently. That separated the scene, and Akira didn't care any deeper, so the question was left open, including about the earlier administrative discharge (or) pick-up.

Check-out should be done by 10am. There is already a small amount of time left because of the fact that time has passed. However, Alpha's proposal led to a series of stays. Akira was a little surprised to hear she was going to do the training here, but she told her employees to finish the process.

"Now don't take a bath today."

The words were vomited by Akira to deceive a grid that had already consumed 40,000 aurum out of 200,000. But it was not subtly deceiving, and it made the smile that I was forced to (do) float a little harder.

Alpha was laughing lightly when she saw how it was, but tightened her expression like she had regained her mind.

'Now, let's start training. Ready?

Akira also quickly switched her mind and nodded with seriousness.

"It's okay."

Alpha snorted satisfactorily.

"First, Akira will learn to read."

"Talking?

Think of it as a conversation without speaking up. Let's move on from there in order. Fast and accurate transmission of information is important in combat. Besides, I don't think Akira will ever be any more suspicious in conversation with the void. Let's remember it early '

Akira was going to take it well without complaining about any training. But I was confused by the unexpected content of the boulder.

"Even if they say so. Specifically, what am I supposed to do?

'It's hard to explain the specific methods verbally. Personal differences are huge, too. Listen with your ears, not with your mouth, but with your brain, and with your brain. I don't get that feeling myself. Why don't you start by reminding me to talk in my heart? You can shake the right topic. You can point to the right or give simple instructions. I'll respond to that, too, so let's see if that's telling. Begin. "

Akira began training as she was baffled but told.

During the interim period, no results continued. I whisper unconsciously, and then I keep trying and error in my head, being cautioned that it doesn't make sense. Concentrate and remember strongly. I sue you in my head staring. I call silently to meditate on my eyes. Keep them seriously even. But Alpha doesn't return any reaction. Still, Akira seriously continued her training, which had no other guiding principles.

And about an hour later, an opportunity arose. Alpha turned right in front of Akira, who kept calling desperately to turn right. Akira is surprised, Alpha laughs.

'Yes, yes. That's the way it is. Let's keep going.'

"Ah, oh."

Akira continued her training as she did, not even realizing that she had unconsciously replied with a mindset. Once successful, it was also relatively easy to reproduce. Repeat the reading to increase its accuracy.

'You're getting better. Akira can hear my voice as well. Now you won't miss my voice in any kind of roar. Because hearing is really mixed with the sound outside, you may not be able to hear gunshots in battle, but you don't have to worry about them anymore.'

'Oh, I see. That's certainly convenient.'

'Isn't that right? This is part of combat training. "

'But couldn't you have done this outside without staying at the inn?

You don't have to expose yourself to the suspicious who are desperately calling into the void, do you?

'... Indeed'

To Alpha, who laughed and replied so, Akira returned a bitter laugh.

After a while, I was able to have a conversation without a problem. So Alpha moves on to the next phase of her reading training.

"There's enough verbal communication. The next thing you know, you'll be able to send it correctly, even if it's ambiguous like intent, will, or image. Hundreds of stories are like (or not) at first sight. If you can quickly and accurately communicate a seemingly challenging verbal statement, it will also facilitate aggressive communication during battle. As part of that training, start by sending me my outfit. I'll get dressed exactly as Akira told me. If that outfit is what Akira imagined it would be, it's a success. Try it. '

When Akira thought of Alpha's outfit as she was told, she sent it in a nutshell. Then Alpha's clothes change. However, the clothes were as cruel as they were properly sewn together with various pieces of cloth. As soon as Akira glanced at her face, her clothes began to look even more distorted and disappeared.

In front of the panicking Akira, Alpha laughs as she exposes her nudity.

"You're a failure. The image of the clothes hasn't been conveyed properly. Or did you want to see me naked?

"Chi, no! Come on, put something on!

'No, this is training too. If you want me to wear clothes, do your best to send a decent image.'

Akira rushes to retransmit the image. Alpha nudity is again covered in obscure clothes-like things. But the accuracy was only diminishing for the moment of panic, and he quickly returned to nakedness.

Akira's trial and error continue. Alpha repeatedly wrapped herself around something she didn't know what she was capable of. First of all, I can prevent nakedness if I imagine just simple underwear, but Akira, in panic, didn't realize it and Alpha was silent after figuring it out.

Akira continued to fail afterwards. It was only after a late dinner that Alpha was successfully dressed in bright white and monotonous clothes.

'Here's the thing today. I think it would be a good first day.'

"I'm tired of not stepping out of my room..."

"Then take a bath and rest."

"I will..."

Though I'm mentally tired, I'm not as tired as I was yesterday. Akira took a slow bath and took enough rest. And when I got out of the bath, I went straight into bed, leaving myself to the sleeper to go straight to sleep. Alpha continued to look at Akira on the side (by the side) with the same permission as yesterday but not yesterday.

Today, Alpha asked for permission, and Akira believed Alpha to give that permission, without even knowing what it was about.

Alpha is not lying. Training greatly improves Akira's chances of survival, while permission greatly improves Akira's chances of survival. It is a means to achieve a higher level of support in order (to) get people to attack the sites they designate. But that's not all.

What did I allow myself to do? The question never arose for Akira, who was tired and fell asleep.
