Rebuild World

Akira shoots the men as they lurk in the rubble of the ruins. The shooting from the exquisite position, considering the effects of the colorless fog, did not grab (or) Akira's position at all on the men. The screams of the men who attacked Elena and the others sound.

"Alpha. How many more?

"Three people are dead. There are five of us left. Only one Akira killed because of you. They killed the other two."

"In that situation, did you manage two of them on your own? Awesome."

"Right."

To Alpha's reaction, Akira had made her expression a little stiff. Without even hiding his grumpy attitude, Alpha was speaking with a look and tone in response to that grumpy.

"... uh, you didn't like helping them that much?

Akira was unusual and behaved like she was out lousy somewhere so as not to damage her opponent's mood any more. In contrast, Alpha returns some intransigent expression and tone, like smiling (cheeky) but blaming Akira for turning away.

That's not true, is it? I think helping people is a good thing, too. However, even though Akira, who took on my request, was not very strong enough to die until she fulfilled my request, I just wondered if it was something I would ever have to do until I put my life at risk (or even) for the sake of someone else in red who I had never met or talked to. I would be in trouble if Akira died. Really, yeah, I told you, didn't I?

Alpha support is not free. The reward for Alpha's request, the advance. If I die for something unrelated to that request, it's no different for Alpha than being carried away with just the advance. That would be the reason I'm upset. Akira makes a slight mistake and makes a slight excuse.

"No, see, if you can afford Alpha's awesome support, if you think it's evidence that you trust the quality of the support..."

"I'm really glad you can trust my support so much. Is that true? '

Akira grinned slightly, deceitfully, feeling intimidated by Alpha's powerful smile.

Alpha had already detected its existence when the monsters that had been directed by the men were still much further away. He also knew that the monster was beyond Akira's control. For this reason (for), in case Elena and the others were pressed to deal with it, Akira was kept at a certain distance from Elena and the others.

And I was also telling Akira about the situation. To keep Akira out of this by keeping her informed in advance so that she can move quickly when a battle occurs.

But Akira acted unexpectedly on Alpha. Instead of evacuating early, we began to explore the situation until we narrowed our distance to Elena and the others.

And when Elena and the others' situation got fatally worse, Akira looked rather grumpy, with some unexpected look, and began to say even more unexpected things to Alpha.

"Alpha. With Alpha's support, is it possible for me to kill all those people?

"Are you going to help them?

"Can't you?

Execute if possible. Alpha reads the intent and answers with a little surprise.

'If it's possible or impossible, it's possible. But it's not dangerous. I don't think you need to be involved, do you?

"Even with Alpha's awesome support, do I have a good chance of getting killed?

It depends on the circumstances, but if you prioritize Akira's survival, you're less likely to die. But the safest thing to do is stay out of it in the first place. "

"I mean, you can handle it, can't you?

I doubt the quality of support if I return an answer similar to denial. I have no choice but to affirm that because it is an obstacle. Having determined that, Alpha can't guess why Akira is adamant and asks back in surprise.

'I will. But can you tell us why you're doing this? We need to decide on a specific course of action for that reason.'

Akira shuts up. I was hesitant to say why.

Although Alpha confirmed its displeasure, frustration (need), discomfort, disgust, and anger from Akira's expression, etc., she could not guess why.

Moreover, that negative sentiment is stronger than when Akira was attacked in the ruins before. It's not like Akira herself was attacked last time. I am neither attacked nor acquainted with anything. Still, I have stronger negative feelings. Previously, there was a lack of equipment and strength, and it was possible that he could not afford to hold that hand emotion desperately to survive. It is relatively safe now, and the equipment and strength are even better than last time. Maybe that marginal difference is inducing emotion right now. Alpha guessed that far too.

But the current state of Akira's mind is weak as a reason to elicit so strong negative emotions. Alpha concluded so.

Silence flows. When Akira sees it as meaning she won't help unless she answers, she thinks a little and says why it seems.

"... oh if those guys were in the ruins, I might be attacked again. We're going to be here again and again. Wouldn't it be better to kill these people right now?... Besides, look, you told me I didn't have any luck left, right? I might get a little lucky if I help them. I guess luck is something that gets better with everyday things, huh? It's just fine."

Alpha hears the response and comes up with the idea.

The reason Akira mentioned is pre-construction. Killing all of the men exists as a prerequisite, and only gives reasons for doing so. Akira is not looking for a reason to help them, she is looking for a reason to kill them. Don't kill them to help them. I'm trying to help them to kill them.

Perhaps there are some standards in Akira that I don't quite understand myself. And judging by that criterion, they were classified as people to kill. Alpha guessed that far, but still could not guess to that standard.

Akira also included a color somewhat close to disappointment in her expression when she remained silent with each other for a while.

"If you say it's difficult even with Alpha's amazing support..."

Continuing the questioning further, there is a risk that the emotions that Akira has now may be directed at her, albeit slightly. There is also a risk of greatly undermining my trust in my support. That's what Alpha decided.

For Alpha, their lives and so on are completely unimportant. Alpha decided to let them die in order to get in a good mood for Akira. Don't even put fine dust (mince) on the table, such as a cold judgment on the inside, but answer to disagree with Akira's words a little.

'What are you talking about? With my support, I can afford it. It's easy.'

"Right. Then, please."

'Fine. Let's get this over with. Let's get moving first. This way.'

Alpha took on Akira's favor. As a result, the fate of the Bubbahas was exhausted where it had nothing to do with Elena and Bubbaha.

Akira ambushed the Bubaha and the others with the full support of Alpha. Ballistic prediction lines were aligned between Bubacha's brows from a safe sniping position, pulling the trigger without any hesitation. Afterwards, he continued shooting to help Elena and the others evacuate. Confirming that Elena and the others had escaped into the building did not reassure her. I just thought I could achieve a superficial reason.

"Akira, move."

Copy that.

Through the alley of the ruins as directed, through the building, dive into the rubble and move to the next sniper position. And put a gun against a man who didn't even attack himself. Aiming at the head pulls the trigger with a slight discomfort in the cold look. Akira's eyes, looking at the target of the sniper, had feelings closer to aversion than hatred.

A bullet shot out hits the man in the head. Bullets manufactured to defeat a strong, vital monster ruined the human head relatively brittle than the monster.

"Akira, move."

Copy that.

Akira keeps moving to the next sniper position before the other men can pinpoint her position. Alpha's instructions were exquisite, and the men were not given shards or pieces of Akira's position. On that journey, I somehow put into my mouth the doubts I thought.

"... Still, you're aiming from a pretty close distance, but you're unnoticed"

'Cause I'm sniping from a hard spot. It wouldn't be difficult if we could keep choosing the right geographic conditions. And now Akira's discovery is more difficult because of the colourless fog. "

"Because of the colorless fog, the conditions are the same as ours, right?

'Not at all. My ability to defeat the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street differs from their cheap information-gathering equipment. It's like fighting blindfolded over there. It's impossible to beat them with Akira's strength without that much difference. So don't mistake this situation for your strength. They're not weak enough. It's easy to beat someone to that extent. Never stop making that mistake.'

"I know."

Alpha smiles so hard that she stabs the nail.

'That would be good.... really, stop?

"Oh, I know."

Akira replied in a bit of a hurry. I replied sincerely, rethinking that they might have thought I was in good shape, pulling my mind together and hurrying ahead.

Alpha had stabbed a nail after figuring it out.

The man was trembling with fear. He was already the only survivor. All my people are dead and rolling into the ruins. If you stay like this, you'll join it yourself. That understanding stirred up a man's fear.

"... shit... what the hell happened. In this colorless mist, how can you aim so precisely? Why would such an amazing person want to go to a place like this? It would be strange..."

Kuzsuhara Street ruins were supposed to be ruins already lonely. The outer periphery was collected crude artifacts, and the back was judged not to be suitable for the strength of the monster, and the skilled hunter was not supposed to lean on the ruins without this rumor (rumor). At the very least, the outer periphery should not have been such a place where powerful people would have come to kill themselves easily.

"Bubbaha bastard, you're here about a fallen hunter, right? Just say the right thing. It was his fault. It was his fault! Shit!"

It was his own will to take on board Bubacha's invitation to carry on the raids of other hunters. He put it up on the shelf and threw up a curse.

The colorless fog is starting to clear up for the most part. But it didn't seem to the man that it would make his situation better. Someone who was after them showed all that skill even under the influence of that colorless mist. If the fog cleared, he would target himself more precisely. All I could think of was that.

Due to the fading effect of the colourless fog, Akira's reaction was indicated in the man's information-gathering device. But I couldn't rely on it to kill Akira. The anger that had killed his companion had been scratched out by the fear that he would also be killed. The man's heart was already broken.

If I stay like this, they'll kill me. The man knew about that, too. The man worried about his troubles and made a bitter decision to survive. When the expression is distorted and the weapon is thrown away, it comes out of the debris that was lurking behind it. And raise your hands and call out loud.

"My loss! I surrender! So help me!

The man goes out on the street without a shield and looks around with his hands up.

"Oh, I was forced by him to cooperate with the Bubbaha bastards! They threatened to kill me if I refused! I didn't mean it! I had no choice!

The man looks around in a restless manner.

"Wow, I'm sorry! I will never imitate this again! Or there's a little money! I'll do it all, including their share! There's even a little bit of savings! I'll do that too! Oh, if you kill me, you won't get that!?

Waiting for the other man to react with a look drawn by fear. No voice, no appearance, no bullets, no response came back.

"True! It's not a lie!... Ugh, not shooting means you're lost, right? What are you suspicious of? You think I have a weapon in my possession? Or do you think it's dangerous to wear fortified clothes with bare hands? All right! You should take it off! Take it off! So don't shoot!

A man takes off his cheap fortified clothes. Then Akira came out of the shadow of the alley.

A man is surprised to see Akira. I didn't think they were kids. and at the same time relieve (almost). The fact that he showed up, I guess there's room for negotiation. That's what I thought. The fear of death fades and its expression loosens.

(Ha, thank God. (A) My life was saved. Later I managed to negotiate with that kid...)

The next moment, the man was shot by Akira. The bullet was hitting the middle of the man's torso.

A similar sight emerged on the head of a man who could not understand the translation and was confused. It looks like Sarah was shot by Bubacha. Were you mistaken for being a physical enhancement augmenter of the nanomachine system yourself? That idea that came to mind in the vanishing consciousness vanishes with each of its consciousness and life.

"Oh... I..., no..."

The man was the last one to whine (crush ya) about something out of view and was doomed.

Check with Alpha as Akira looks at the man.

"That's everybody, isn't it?

'That's right. That's it. By the way, why did you shoot him?

Akira gave a strange look, so Alpha makes a supplement to the question.

'If you were going to kill me, you'd have shot me sooner, wouldn't you? But Akira didn't shoot very well, so I thought you were willing to help him. I'm asking you why you stopped it.

"Oh. You mean that. I was willing to kill him from the beginning. But if I'd waited in silence, I would have killed you safer, so I was just waiting. They're not weak. Don't get me wrong. Is that what you said, Alpha?

'I did say that. I see. I'm convinced. It's good to be cautious. But it can be dangerous to give them time, so be careful about that.'

"Okay."

Akira was honestly nodding.

Akira. Elena and the others. Bubbaha and the others. Bad luck was gathering here. There was a gathering of those who sought to ascend. In order to overturn the plight surrounding me, there was a gathering of those who went to wager and forced themselves.

And the bets were lost, and those who were unable to do so and made the most mistakes paid the price for the bets and the inability and the error of choice of all. The bodies of the men scattered throughout the ruins were part of a recurring sight in the East, an example of a common result.

Elena and the others stood in the building, caged for a while, and the gunfire that was sounding sporadically stopped. There was no appearance of resumption even after a short period of time.

Sarah loosens her guard slightly.

"Is it over...?

Elena confirms the reaction of the information-gathering equipment.

"The surrounding reactions have almost disappeared. There's only one reaction left but us. Maybe it was someone who was fighting them."

The information-gathering equipment has largely recovered from the effects of colorless fog. If this is the case, we can't go wrong with those who attacked us. But there is no guarantee that the rest of the reaction will be on your side.

"Elena, is that someone's reaction going to come this way?

"It doesn't look like that... What do you think it was after all?

"If you're optimistic, that means someone who was close by by chance helped us. Eight to three, no, even though it's eight to one, except for us. How nice of you... I hope so."

Sarah spoke of the hopeful observer, and if she was concerned, she did not speak of the dance.

(Dear people, there are limits. I appreciate your help, but it's not something I know what you're going to ask for in return. If they are men and demand our bodies, Elena will disagree, but I wonder if they can put up with me alone somehow)

Elena was checking the reaction of someone displayed on the information-gathering device. And I noticed that the reaction kept me away.

(Don't you want to come over here?... If you're going to ask for a reward for your help, you can come over here right away. There is also no way to try to see how the person you helped is to avoid excessive rubbing (also), simply lose interest, or give priority to obtaining their possessions...)

The reaction goes away even while I'm thinking about it. Elena got a little lost, but decided to go after the reaction.

"I'm going for a minute. Sarah, wait here."

"Are you okay?

"The colorless fog is mostly clear, and it doesn't look hostile from the reaction, it's okay. I won't force it. I have to thank you for your help."

Elena laughed and reassured Sarah, who seemed a little worried, she quickly got ready and left the building alone. The enemy has already been defeated by the information-gathering device. I ran after Akira because I had no enemies either.

As Elena approached Akira somewhat, the speed of movement of the reactions displayed on the information-gathering equipment increased suddenly. Akira is in a hurry to leave.

Elena has already grabbed Akira's position. The position was on the other side of the shield. I can reach my voice but I can't see him. I rush to call it off with a loud voice.

"Wait a minute! You must be the one who helped me!? I want to thank you, and I need to talk to you for a second! Can you come over here, please?

Then something flew in from Akira's direction. It was a rounded piece of paper, parabolized into the air and rolled under Elena's feet.

When Elena picked it up and spread the paper, there was a bullet inside. The paper had dirty letters, and it said concisely, Don't come this way.

Did the bullet wrapped in paper simply be used to make it easier to throw paper? Or is it combined with a warning? Elena has no judgment. I don't know why, but the benefactor of our lives doesn't seem to want us to get close. Determine that and stop getting any closer. Turn up your calling voice instead.

"My people are shot and I can't move! There's a car parked near the outer perimeter, so I'd like to ask for company transport and escort! Apart from the thanks you just gave me, I'll pay you back! I got your help. Bugs are a good story, but I was wondering if you could just help me a little more!

You (more) don't deserve Elena's reward either. Not at all, especially with regard to gold. I'm here to make money in the first place. I also need to pay for Sarah's nanomachine. Negotiations would be necessary, including what we would pay as a reward. Elena thought so and was prepared for the extent to which she would include her body in the reward.

Then something flew in again. Now it was some kind of box. When I picked it up and checked, the box was pinched with paper. I can tell from the printed contents of the surface that the box is a restorative medicine. The paper said how to use it in dirty letters.

Heal your buddies with this healing pill. Elena decided that would be what she meant. At the same time, they understood that they had no intention of taking on their own escorts.

Elena decides to go back under Sarah. Before I pulled it up, I added a little to the thrown paper and placed it on the ground.

"Okay! Thanks for the recovery pills! I'm going back! I wrote down my hunter code on paper so you can contact me if you want!

Elena lowered her head gently in the direction Akira was in. Then he went back under Sarah.

Akira waited for Elena to leave enough before picking up the paper Elena left behind. The paper had some kind of string appended to it. That's Elena's hunter code, but Akira wasn't sure.

"... what's a hunter code?

"It doesn't matter much until Akira starts carrying an information device. Now that I know their hunter code, I think it's a lot of convenience when hunters get in touch with each other."

"That's what I have. Does that happen to me, too?

'I don't. Sure, if you go through the process at the hunter's office after you buy an information device, you'll get it. Are you sure that was better than that, Akira?

"Oh. It's good. We won't have to see each other (on purpose). Let's go home."

"Aren't you going to take those guys' gear home?

"I'll leave you alone. They didn't attack me."

"Yes."

Akira had firmly taken home the possessions of the pair who had attacked herself before. Alpha doesn't know the difference between the last time and this time. But I decided that there must be a standard for Akira.

Helped at the risk of no reward. I even gave him valuable healing pills. But as I don't know anything about it, the escort refuses and doesn't even try to see the person who helped him. What principles of behaviour would result in such behaviour? Alpha will continue to speculate in order to manage and guide Akira's actions. It was useless to ask in person, I understood in my reaction when I decided to help Elena and the others. For that reason, I didn't ask anything now.

Akira and the others left the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street early enough as it was.

Sarah smiled subtly when she heard from Elena, who was back.

"He helps me even though it doesn't matter, he's a benefactor to my life, he even gives me healing pills, and he leaves without a name, without demanding a reward. When I pull out only the good part, I just want to say that there's no wonder I'm in love..."

That's a very likeable figure. Sarah continues with a bitter smile.

"... I don't show myself. I won't even let you hear me. I won't let you near me. The letters written are also dirty. I wonder if this was deliberately written dirty so that I could not examine the handwriting, etc.... you've suddenly become suspicious."

Elena also smiles bitterly at the portrait of someone who has become suspicious as soon as possible.

"Do you want to stop using the healing pills you received? Wait a minute and you'll recover, right?

Elena doesn't want to take life's benefactor badly either, but it's Sarah who actually uses it. I didn't mean to force you.

Sarah gently shakes her neck to the side.

"No, I'll use it. It doesn't make any difference if you stay injured."

It is not Elena herself who actually uses it. Sarah didn't put it in her mouth but decided to use it after thinking about it. Remove the capsule from the healing medicine box and place it on the palm. The usual way to use it is to take it as is.

Sarah was staring at the capsule in her palm, and she had in her head the contents of a piece of paper that said how to use the restorative medicine. It wasn't the instructions attached to the box, it was written in dirty letters on cheap paper.

To administer the contents directly to the affected area without taking them if it is urgent or if the immediacy of the efficacy is required. Heavy pain attention. That's what the paper said in dirty letters. Not the way it was supposed to be used. Worst of all, the risk of worsening the wound rather than the treatment is also possible. Sarah was quite lost, but decided to adopt the method of use written on the paper.

Multiple capsules are opened and the contents administered directly to the injured areas of both legs. As warned beforehand, quite a few injuries struck Sarah. The feeling that something is forcefully repairing the wound is transmitted with the pain. Elena looks worried about Sarah with a distressed look on her face.

Gradually, the wound pulled away. After about a minute, the pain almost disappeared. When I tried to get up, I was able to get up fine, although I remembered a slight injury. Elena was a little surprised to see that.

"Sarah, are you okay to stand up?

"Fine. Looks like it worked. I've healed to the point where I can fight without a problem. Why don't you use a little of Elena, too?

Sarah contains additional capsules in her mouth. Formal methods of use were chosen because they were no longer required for urgency or for immediate efficacy.

Elena also uses restorative medication as recommended by Sarah. Elena also has no major injuries (injuries), but she is injured. Fatigue is also great. The need to get fit is the same as Sarah's. I felt the headache pull off rapidly when I took the healing medicine for a while. Elena understood from her experience with hunter operations that the treatment of head injuries (injuries) was actually progressing rapidly rather than simply analgesic.

Due to the effect of the restorative drugs, Elena and the others' appreciation of Akira rose from a questioner, a benefactor of life, to a benefactor of life under some circumstances. We look at each other in the face and laugh bitterly at doubting our benefactors, albeit necessary.

Laughs as Sarah switches her mind.

"You found out that the person who helped me was a very good person. I don't know what product recovery pills are, but it works so well, which means it's pretty expensive, right? I can't thank you enough for taking care of me so far."

"I wrote down my hunter code, but I don't know if he read it in the first place, or if he's willing to get in touch with us..."

"It will depend on the other side, but shall we keep up the good work so that we can return the favor when we get in touch?"

Elena laughs to change her mind, too.

"So is that. Can I care less now? So quickly, will you strip them of their gear in order to do your best to prepare for the reward? Our benefactor doesn't seem to be interested in their possessions, so let's sell them off to cover Sarah's nanomachine."

"Totally. I don't even know his name. He's gonna take care of me today."

"Absolutely."

That's what Elena and Sarah said and laughed at each other.

Elena and the others then uprooted the men's possessions and returned safely to the city. This site search was based on unclear rumors. It was an careless bet that we could lose our lives and more. But the price of selling off the men's possessions was enough to make Elena and the others better off.

Elena and the others won the bet.
