Rebuild World

Akira had a day of training and ruin exploration.

Rumors (rumors) of the presence of uninvestigated parts of artifacts in sites that even children can go to have already subsided. Because Alpha had some idea of the market for the artifact and adjusted the quality and quantity of the artifact to be brought to the boutique.

Akira checked her gear once, and an unarmed amateur child no longer brings artifacts to the shopping lot. The person who actually found the uninvestigated part also did not show up. As a result, the silencing of rumors also proceeded quickly, and hunters headed to the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street on the grounds of rumors (rumors) were soon gone.

Thanks to that, Akira's collection of artifacts went well. However, contrary to its smoothness, the flow of funds had deteriorated. Because he hid most of the artifacts he found somewhere else without bringing them to the store so as not to rekindle rumors.

To cope with the deterioration in funding flows, Akira had lowered the cost of the accommodation from 20,000 to 4000 aurum per night. Recently, he stayed in a simple room that was about four tatami in size and just had a simple shower.

Still, it's a lot more luxurious than on the streets of Slam Street, but it's also true that it's a life I'm unhappy with Akira for remembering her life with a bath. It was hard to lower that once he had raised his standard of living, and Akira was blurry about wanting to return to life with a bath soon.

Alpha was smiling at Akira with the same smile. If you gain strength that doesn't seem unnatural when you bring in expensive artifacts, you can quickly return to life with a bath. That's how it was broken.

Behind the same smile, he laughed as usual, observing everything about Akira.

The days of training and site exploration changed when Akira completed her tenth total purchase process at the boutique. When I try to get paid and go home, as usual, Nozima calls me off.

"Wait a minute. Take this today."

Nojima gives Akira a paper map and a plastic card. The map was from around the city's walls, marked with a destination.

"There's a little procedure there. You can show that card to the staff. Good luck then. Azilla"

"... my name is Akira"

Azira is the name of Akira, who was incorrectly registered. I see Akira, where Nojima seems a little grumpy, and she blows out gently.

"That's how it's registered in the database. Was it registered incorrectly? I don't know who did the registration process, but I thought I'd do the right job. I can fix it in the process, so go with me."

That's all Nojima said and somehow dropped Akira off in a good mood.

The walls surrounding the median section of Kugamayama City boast a strong defense that will leave the inside intact, even if the outside of the walls is returned to the ashes (Kaijin) due to monster raids, etc. The high and thick barrier, which physically, economically and socially separates people living inside and outside that wall, was full of the power to overwhelm those who saw it nearby.

Kugamaville is a huge skyscraper integrated with its walls. It is a relay point connecting the urban economy inside and outside the wall, and it is also a key point of urban function.

The building also houses a hunter's office branch. It is a fundamentally different sales office from the lonely branch where Akira has completed her hunter registration and is an important facility for managing all the hunters operating in the vicinity of Kugamayama city.

Akira is staring up at the Kugamaville. The exterior of the building, which makes it easy to imagine the power, financial power and force present there, was too fearful for slum-street-grown children.

The mark on the map refers to the hunter's office reception in that building.

"Right here, right?

'That's right. Let's go in.'

"Ah, oh."

Following a flat forward alpha, Akira also enters Kugamaville in a restless manner. Akira alone wasted a lot of time getting into the building. It was also the result of Alpha's support that made it possible to shorten that time.

The hunter's office reception is located on the ground floor of the building. Akira stops under barometric pressure at the large reception, in the interior atmosphere, and in the presence of the hunters on the spot. Who carries a gun that exceeds his height. who are wearing high-performance reinforced clothing. A man with steel skin who at a glance can tell he is a cyborg. All of them are isolated and powerful people like Akira who simply completed their hunter registration.

"Akira, they are not enemies, nor are they going to be attacked, so calm down."

"Wow, I know."

'I can't help standing quietly, and let's get this over with. You know how the process goes, you know?

"I don't know."

"Over here."

Growing up in Slam Street, Akira didn't know how to handle basic reception procedures, but thanks to Alpha's support, she gained nothing. Head to an unmanned reception terminal that combines ticketing machines, use the cards received from Nozima to complete the sequential waiting registration, wait quietly for the order in an uninterrupted location, and then head to the correspondence desk. And I showed the collation tickets and cards to the female staff at the desk.

"I was told to show this..."

The female official, who had a clerical affectionate laugh, broke her expression with surprise when she saw the card. But I immediately recall my duties and return to my loving expression. And made the received card read to the terminal at hand.

"We have confirmed. Master Azira, can you make a mistake?

Akira answers nervously.

"Ah, yes. No, it's not. I'm Akira, and, uh, I was registered by mistake when I signed up."

Officials bow their heads respectfully and apologize for their disrespect.

"I'm very sorry for your loss. Again, Dear Akira, Congratulations on your promotion to Hunter Rank 10. We will reissue the Hunter Certificate and confirm the registration information. Do you need an explanation of the Hunter Certificate reissue process, and related matters?

"Oh, yes. Please."

"I'm scared."

Perhaps they haven't grasped the situation at all. Judging by Akira's attitude, the staff began to elaborate on the registration process, carefully smiling (cheeks) in accordance with their duties.

The Hunter Office sets evaluation criteria for hunters known as Hunter Rank. The lowest value is rank 1, which is basically treated as a hunter as good as a high-ranking hunter.

Various methods exist to increase Hunter Rank, such as selling artifacts to Hunter Office shops or their affiliates, accepting requests from Hunter Office and its affiliates, etc. Essentially, the higher the contribution to the Eastern League of Governed Enterprises, commonly known as the Unified Enterprise Union, the higher the rank increases according to that rating.

High-ranking hunters also have high credit from the Unified Enterprise Company and are given preferential treatment by the Hunter Office. Permits to enter the city's upper divisions, for example, are also easier to grant the higher ranked hunters.

In addition, special permits are granted for high-ranking hunters, such as surveying restricted access sites and collecting artifacts that are essentially proprietary to large companies, etc. The higher the hunter rank, the higher the priority, such as waiting in order.

It also affects the availability of high-performance equipment. Due to price, quantity, and power, low-ranking hunters also have guns that they solemnly or forbid to sell.

Some requests made by the Hunter Office and its affiliates, for example, have restrictions based on Hunter Rank. Only highly-ranked hunters can receive sensitive requests, etc., and even low-ranked hunters cannot know the existence of the request in the first place.

In addition to those numerous preferential treatment, many people raised their blood path to rising Hunter ranks in search of their stature and honor as hunters.

Akira's current Hunter Rank is ten. This is also the initial value when a person with a valid ID, such as an employee card or citizenship card, registers a hunter with considerable equipment. I mean, as a general hunter, it's an amateur's rank.

When a person who does not have an identity card, such as a resident of Slam Street, registers as a Rank 1 hunter. At this point, it's just a piece of paper with a name on it.

Thereafter, with a proven track record of bringing more than the prescribed number of times, artifacts, etc. to the buying house, he is certified to be seriously willing and able to do hunters, and is treated as a relatively promising being. The hunter rank also rises due to internal processing.

And when the Hunter Rank reaches 10, he is gradually treated as a straight (decent) hunter from the Hunter Office.

The card given to Nojima at the shopping mall was an indication that Akira was the person who came up from rank 1. There are basically few such people. Mostly because you either give up on the way out or (some) die.

And from there, the few who have come up to this (are) given considerable preference as relatively promising hunters. For example, the fee for reissuing a hunter's license will be free only for the first time.

Officials gave Akira a booklet after completing a full explanation. Fine paper booklet featuring the logo of the Unified Enterprise and Hunter's Office on the cover. This is a compilation of more detailed descriptions, hunter-related information, etc.

Officials proceed with Akira's registration process.

"Dear Akira. If you would like to modify the name of the registration details, please tell us again the name to register the modification."

It's Akira.

When Akira answers that slightly strangely, the official woman asks for confirmation with a serious look.

"Dear Akira. This registration process has a strong significance for updating from provisional registration to this registration, and registration information is basically an addition to the shortage information. On top of that, we are accepting a change registration in view of the fact that your name has been incorrectly registered due to our mishandling this time. Thereafter, the reason for the change, which requires review, will be essential in order to change the registration details. Depending on the reason (s), you may refuse the change. Please be advised. The name is an element that the Hunter's Office identifies you and is also a unique element that describes, recognizes, and confirms you personally. You may also include blood, land, country, culture, class, etc. to which the subject belongs. Based on that, is the registration name really appropriate only for Akira?

Akira couldn't answer the question instantly.

Akira doesn't belong anywhere. I have no family. I don't even remember that. I was just in the slum district of Kugamayama city when I realized it, and I don't have any attachment to the slum district or anything. I was just there because I didn't have the power to get out of it, and I don't think that I belong there or any shards. Nor is he a member of some sort of detachment party that exists countless times in Slam Street.

I've been acting alone for a long time. When I defined my own designation, Akira, no other component existed. That's why I could change as many of them as I wanted to change my name on this occasion. There is no inconvenience in suddenly changing your name. For there is no such thing as a caller by that name.

Recently done, with the exception of Alpha.

After a slight silence, Akira gives a serious look.

"Akira. My name is Akira. So sign up. If you want to change it, I will change it then. If you can't change it then, I don't think Ning should."

"I'm scared."

The official handed Akira a new hunter's card after operating the terminal at hand.

Stay tuned for the Hunter's Certificate that Akira received. It's a hard plastic card unlike any cheap piece of paper you've ever had. There existed a greater significance there than had gone from pieces of paper to hard plastic.

"Please be careful what you lose. Reissues will require costs and scrutiny. Worst of all, we may lose all of our previous achievements and treat you like a new registration."

Officials smile lovingly (ho) so gently bow their heads.

"The registration process will be more than that. We sincerely wish Akira all the best."

Badly, Akira was smiled off by an official when she was admitted to be a worthy person to respond to as one hunter.

Akira looks out of Cugamaville to give her a brand new hunter's card. Alpha laughs and blesses Akira.

Akira, you've become a hunter. Congratulations. '

'Thanks.... haven't I ever been a hunter?

"You used to call yourself a hunter. If you present the other hunters with the pieces of paper you've had so far and call me a hunter, I'm sorry, but they'll laugh at you. '

Look emotional as Akira looks at the new Hunter ID as a smudge.

"You sure do."

The hunter's card correctly states Akira's name. Akira read it and laughed with a little joy.

"Did I gradually become a hunter..."

This hunter's card is also Akira's ID. Yo (more) also presented this in the store there, only he is recognized as an amateur hunter, and his effectiveness as an ID card is known. But still a big step forward for Akira. At least at the moment, it was clearly removed from a slum dweller who didn't even have an ID.

When it becomes important and meaningful to build on the track record of hunter operations and present this hunter certificate, Akira can say for herself that she has become a hunter. The first step began gradually today.

Watch out for Akira as Alpha smiles bitterly as she leaves her alone and seems to keep looking at her hunter ID forever.

"Don't watch forever, it's time to dance. If you stay put, you'll be suspicious, right?

Particularly thoughtful policing is also laid around the Kugamaville subdivision. The hassle that comes down when a guard treats you as a suspicious person is not a ratio elsewhere in the lower compartment. Akira danced a hunter's badge with a little warmth.

"Now Akira has gradually become a hunter at one end of the list. In order to become a hunter at one end of the spectrum in terms of equipment, etc., should we go and buy the essentials of the hunter quickly?"

"Essentials? What are you buying?

It's an information terminal.

Hunters exchange, share, and buy and sell a wide variety of useful information via the Internet, including the location of the site, its internal structure, and details of the living monsters. They pushed for greater efficiency in hunter operations, brought many artifacts from the ruins to companies, and led to the revitalization of the entire east.

It is the information terminals that are widely in the east that have encouraged the establishment of that information network. With the successful manufacture of inexpensive and high-performance products that Tatsumori Heavy Industries (Tatsumori Soo) could withstand the operation of hunters, information terminals spread among the hunters at once. Even today, the market for hunters continues to be dominated by Tatsumori Heavy Industries, which used this as a stepping stone to strengthen their influence in the east and leap to governing companies.

In addition, the information terminal was positioned as a strategic product of the Eastern Strategy of the Unified Enterprise Company due to the influence of Tatsumori Heavy Industries. As a result, mass production and low prices were pushed (for) the benefit of the East as a whole, and are now easy enough for people like Akira to buy.

As information terminals blended into the lives of hunters, more people received requests from companies and hunter offices via information terminals. And now it's called a hunter's necessity.

Akira bought an information terminal at an information terminal store near the hunter's office as recommended by Alpha. Nearly all of Akira's money is spent on information devices. Finally, I finished a simple initial setup for hunters of information terminals at the store. Akira had no idea what the settings were or how to set them up, but the store clerk used to setting them up.

In the middle of that setup work, the clerk explained that the setup for hunters required a hunter's card. Akira was a little happy that she had the opportunity to use her hunter's card quickly.

Akira looks a little harsh back in the narrow inn. I've got a hunter's card and an information device. The exaltation is already calm. And as soon as I thought about what I was going to do as a hunter at one end (full), realistic concerns arose.

"Alpha. I put money into the cost of the information terminal (because of it), and I don't even have the money for tomorrow's inn..., are you okay?

Alpha laughs and says it out to Akira, who was hoping for words to allay the concerns that have surfaced, wondering if Alpha also has any ideas.

"I'm not okay, so I'm going to the ruins tomorrow."

Akira turns her eyes to Alpha. Alpha smiles back in silence. Shut up and stare at each other. The stumbling block ended Akira's light-hearted sigh.

I know arguing with Alpha won't win. I put a note of money into the information terminal, but I also wonder if it means and is worth it. I can also think of myself that would eventually be convinced if I kept asking in detail why.

Above all, I am tired of exploring the ruins. If you're going to the ruins again tomorrow, you'd better rest early than drain your strength with futile arguments. Akira thought of it that way, although she had many thoughts, she stopped asking a lot.

"I have ammunition to buy, so you'll be fine."

"... right"

"Tomorrow we'll use the information device to explore the ruins. I'm going to set up an information terminal now, so help me."

"Hmm? You've already done that at the store, haven't you?

"That's a common hunter setup. What I'm going to do now is set up for Akira. I'll rewrite the contents as much as I want so you can get my support. But I can't operate the information terminal right now, so ask Akira to do it instead."

"In other words, does it make the information terminal easier to use? Okay."

"It'll take as little as midnight, so good luck."

"What!?

Akira looks at Alpha in surprise. And when I understood that it was not like a joke from the way Alpha was smiling (cheeks) as usual, I was suddenly drawn (not) by the increased sense of fatigue, causing my expression to cramp (one) slightly.

Akira continued to configure the information terminal according to Alpha's instructions. The specific task is to continue entering and selecting configuration information by touching a rigid panel that combines the operating unit of the information terminal with a display surface. You (more) didn't know anything about Akira either.

When you enter or select shapes, symbols, or character-like things that are unintelligible, shapes, symbols, or character-like things that are unintelligible are displayed. In contrast, inputs and selections are mechanically repeated as directed by Alpha. It's a series of simple tasks with unclear operational intent. It was enough to make me want to suspect that it was some kind of torture that could continue for the purpose of depriving people of their ability to think.

What am I doing? Are you sure this is an information terminal setup job? As a matter of fact, is it a kind of western sorcery, ritual, etc. that you hear rumors about? Is it not even going in the ritual of invoking something you don't know how to do without knowing? The monotonous manipulation, repeated without knowing what it meant, had begun to direct Akira's thinking in strange directions.

As declared in advance, the setup work did not end at night. Akira continued to operate the terminal carelessly. Then Akira's work ends.

"Akira, that's enough."

"... you're finally done"

"I haven't exactly finished the setup process yet, but I don't have any more work to annoy Akira. I'll do it later, so Akira needs to rest. '

The date had already changed. I notice that Akira feels even more tired. When you lie on the floor so that you fall in, place the information terminal appropriately on the floor nearby. And I went straight to sleep without resisting drowsiness.

Even while Akira slept, the information terminal kept moving all night on its own.

The next morning Akira woke up with Alpha's voice, as usual. But I didn't see Alpha when I turned my gaze toward my voice.

"... Alpha?

"Over here, over here"

I turn my gaze to those voices who hear something different with a suspicious (keen) face. An information terminal rolling on the floor showed Alpha laughing and waving. The voice was heard differently than usual because I was hearing voices with my ears that were actually out of the information terminal rather than reading. In information terminals there were limits to the reproduction of sound quality, which was also the source of discomfort there.

When I take the information terminal and gaze at it with the alpha in the display screen, the alpha laughs at me well.

"What do you think? You must be great. I took over this information terminal!

"... uh, yeah"

Alpha gives a disgruntled face to a much thinner reaction even considering Akira's awakening.

"You're unresponsive. Aren't you more surprised?

"I don't think it's a big deal compared to having a woman on your side (by your side) who can see but doesn't touch you, or part of your vision being enlarged. More than that, do you want to send (or pick up) Alpha on this information device from now on?

"If that's better, I will. What do we do?"

After Akira thinks a little, she answers under the guise of not being greedy.

"Do as you've always done. Either way, it's more complicated to look at information devices."

"Okay."

Alpha disappears from the information terminal and appears on Akira's side (by his side) as usual. And with the appearance and voice of a presence that is not comparable to that in the information terminal, I smile a little pranky (naughty) with pleasure and close my face to Akira, and I make an inviting voice.

"I figured I'd rather be on Akira's side (buckwheat) like this than over a small screen on an information terminal?

"Uh, yeah, yeah. That's right."

Akira answered the throw slightly out of sight. Alpha was laughing with satisfaction when she saw Akira, a little red on her face.

Akira, who once again headed to the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street to collect artifacts, is in the mood in the wilderness in front of the ruins. The fever is not due to the fact that it is the first site exploration since I gained a true (decent) hunter ID and became a hunter at one end (full). Because I almost ran out of money on my hands when I bought an information device and I don't even have the money left for today's inn.

If we return without a harvest, we will return to the streets of Slam Street again. Even the narrower lodging, which is farther away than the alley, feels so accustomed to luxury that it once again becomes the feather of sleeping in the alley. I wanted to avoid that. Once he takes a deep breath and tightens his mind, he tries to move on to the ruins with a serious face.

"Okay. Let's go"

"Wait a minute."

"What the fuck?"

Akira turns her dissatisfied face toward Alpha. It's an expression that can also be taken as an indication of spare time in a way. But it wasn't until I heard the next story.

"Gun arms have improved there, so I'm going to change the specific gravity of the training from today. To be specific, I'll have you to be able to move somewhat without my enemies. We're going into the ruins, but act like I have no enemies."

Akira's expression shook heavily. Alpha's enemy is Akira's lifeline. I don't even have to think about what would happen without it.

"... so, are you okay?

Alpha smiles flatly at Akira, who exposes her confusion and anxiety.

"I need training because I'm not okay."

"Well, that's true..."

Akira stops the words in surprise when she tries to eat down. Alpha suddenly turned serious.

"If Akira grows up as a hunter, she'll have more chances to go hunter to other sites. There are limits to just making money from the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. But unfortunately, my enemies, other than the ruins of Kudzukhara Street, are experiencing an extraordinary drop in accuracy."

"... Specifically, how far down are we going?

"In the worst case scenario, my enemies themselves will be impossible."

Akira stunned her face. For Akira now, that's too deadly.

"Of course (of course) I will do everything I can to support you in that situation. But there are limits. That's why I want you to learn how to move in the ruins. All right? '

"... ok.... It's training now, so if it's really dangerous, you're gonna tell me, right?

Alpha smiled back and snorted.

Of course. But Akira forgot about it and acted nervously. 'Cause it's not gonna be training.'

"Oh, oh."

'Basically, move as Akira pleases. So if you behave dangerously or if you don't behave better, I'll point you out every time. Okay, here we go.'

Akira takes a deep breath trying to reduce tension. Although it is training and in fact Alpha's enemies are alive, when we look at the ruins consciously and imaginatively without them, the ruins suddenly start to look like very dangerous places.

And in fact, the ruins are a more dangerous place than you can imagine. The presence of Alpha was only blunting the feeling of danger to the ruins. Akira realizes that the feeling she had was not used to but sweet, and still walks out ready to go to the ruins.

"Stop."

And in that first step, I got a quick pointer.

"Suddenly."

'First thing you need to do is check on the ruins with binoculars from here. Whether there are monsters or not. If you were there, whether that's who Akira is likely to win. Do other safer routes exist? Should I turn back? Think about it and decide.'

Convinced that Yo (more) too, I laugh bitterly at my immaturity when I tried to move on without doing so much. And take out the binoculars to see what the ruins look like. I don't see the monster. I may be hiding, but it's much safer than when I didn't even confirm it.

"Sounds fine."

"Look at the information terminal before you proceed"

View the information device Akira is wearing on her arm. A sturdy belt, which is an accessory to the hunter product, is used to securely secure it in a visible (yasu) position. There was a small alpha deformed on the screen of that information terminal, pointing inside the screen to prompt the operation. Proceeding with the operation as directed, a map was displayed.

'That's a map of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. Instead of simply encouraging the collection of artifacts or searching appropriately without guessing, decide beforehand where to explore or their route of travel. It is also important to find places where artifacts are likely to be found. But more than that, it's more important to decide on the route to travel, also considering the way out when you encounter or engage with a monster. Think about them carefully and proceed with modifications as appropriate to the circumstances'

"Even if they tell me to think about it, how am I supposed to think about it?

"It's in training to think about it."

Akira gazes at the map with a rugged look. The map contains a variety of information. However, it is difficult even if it is not Akira, such as analyzing the information and determining the appropriate travel route. Still headed for the ruins after desperately thinking about it myself.

The outer periphery of the ruins of Kuzhara Street is a world of abandoned buildings and debris. I already remember going flat over and over in the past. Akira was progressing with a serious look at the place as far away as possible from when she remembered.

Proceed carefully and slowly with all possible vigilance around the perimeter. Neither has its excessive vigilance to grind or reduce spirits greatly affected Akira's survival. In addition to the amateur nature of Akira's movements, including her opponents, there are too many potentially dangerous locations for her enemies, such as abandoned building windows and rubble shade.

If you suspect the existence of an enemy, you have no cut. But I can't afford to check all the places. But if there are enemies lurking in places that neglect confirmation in action, Akira's life will end. Ruins are places that are inherently dangerous.

Still, many hunters continue to make their way to the ruins every day at the risk of their lives. Win commensurate with that life, or until the day you lose and lose everything.

Training continues. A few steps, or (there is) an Alpha pointer every time one step is taken. How to walk without making footsteps. How to identify travel routes that are less likely to be ambushed. The choice of a posture that can be countered promptly and how to maintain that posture in unstable scaffolding. Priority of what to check when looking around. All of that is not enough for Akira.

As a result, Akira took an hour to progress a few minutes if she normally walked. There were no encounters with monsters, but nevertheless a series of excessive tensions had exhausted Akira commensurately.

Alpha, who knows more accurately than she does about Akira's fatigue status, decides that it is more dangerous than this and cuts out the training.

'Let's make this about it today. There are no enemies nearby, so it's okay to get distracted.'

Akira, released from tension, exhales heavily from tiredness. Then look back and see how far you have gone. I saw the boundary between the ruins and the wilderness a little further away. I feel discouraged by myself and breathe.

"... is this all that's going on? Looks like a long way to go."

'With experience, we'll be able to move on faster. Besides, it would be extraordinarily easier to defeat enemies if we had (about) high-performance equipment such as information-gathering equipment. Train, check your gear, and get stronger in the tunnel. Leave it to me.'

I saw Alpha laughing gently and brightly and confidently like I cared for Akira and regained the will that Akira was about to fall off too.

…… Right. Can't help but rush. "

'That's right. Shall we then switch from here to collecting artifacts and proceed with my enemies as usual? Let's go.'

Akira leaves the enemy entirely to Alpha to continue behind the ruins. It took me an hour to move on earlier. I trailed through it in minutes, for example.

Proceed inside the ruins again. The streets of the city, originally designed functionally, are now half maze due to the collapse of buildings and other causes that have blocked the way.

Akira was walking and comparing the area to a map of an information terminal. And he leans (hides) his neck slightly, surprisingly.

"Alpha. This map, is it quite wrong?

"Naturally, you're wrong."

Akira asks back with a little surprise that Alpha admitted it with the utmost lightness.

"Am I wrong? And is it natural?"

'Cause that map is something you can get for free online. Pretty low precision stuff. If you need more accurate maps, you have to buy the right amount from trusted muscle. Even that map ended up with information from the time it was made, and there's no guarantee that it matches exactly what's on the ground. Sometimes powerful monsters can be so violent that they alter their terrain in the ruins, and sometimes hunters and others can accidentally destroy each facility by trying to blow up its walls for the convenience of collecting artifacts. There are a number of other situations that dramatically change the difference between the map and the actual terrain. How far do you trust the map based on that? Thinking about it and acting on it is part of the training. "

Some hunters are called cartographers. Those who make detailed maps of the ruins by a wide variety of means and make a living by buying and selling them. Maps containing a large number of useful information, such as the internal structure of dangerous sites, the type and number of monsters living inside them and the contents of previously excavated artifacts, are sometimes bought and sold at a higher price than the artifacts found at that site.

Akira had listened to the story with interest. A hunter is something that makes some money searching for relics from ruins and knocking down monsters. For Akira, who only had that degree of narrow, thin, shallow recognition, the way she earned that cartographer was quite a shock.

"Is there some way to make money like that? Can you sell enough to get into business?"

"There is a huge difference in survival rates between entering the ruins without any prior information or thinking, and putting together (about) enough information to set up an intensive operation before entering. If you can buy safety for money, there will be many hunters who will buy it for a fee. '

"It's within the hunter's power to grasp information about the ruins."

'That's the thing. How reckless Akira was going to the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street without any information, Akira would be staining herself too, wouldn't she?

I laugh bitterly remembering when Akira met Alpha.

"Sort of. I do think I would definitely have died if I hadn't seen Alpha then. It was really dangerous then. I appreciate it."

Alpha smiles invincibly.

'Please show that gratitude with proper action. Specifically, you think you'll do your best to accomplish a request from me? Though I don't mean to rush.'

"Well, wait for the temper"

"I hope so."

Akira returned it in a mild tone, but there is no falsehood in its words and intentions. Even Alpha, who smiled back at Akira, was not false in her words and intentions. However, how far it matched inside was a different story.

Confirming the amount of artifacts Akira brings home after completing today's artifact collection.

"Alpha. For today, but not a little more than usual?

"Akira also gradually became a hunter at one end (full), so I made it a little more. Let's continue to increase it little by little. Of course (of course), we will increase it according to Akira's strength. Keep up the good work and make money for good quality equipment, ammunition, training, study and rest. Even Akira would like to stay in a bathed room, wouldn't she?

Akira snorted forcefully.

"I want to stay. Then even a little more..."

Alpha smiles powerfully (cheeks) toward Akira, who puts her expectations on her gaze.

"No."

"... Yes"

I'm afraid Akira is a little droopy. Alpha was laughing with pleasure.
