Rebuild World

A large number of hunters gather in a square in the outer periphery of the city. There was also Akira's appearance there.

The square, which is also the point of contact between the city and the wilderness, is quite large, with many hunters sometimes gathering on a regular basis, as well as mobile stores that deal with them. The majority of the hunters on this occasion were those who undertook the request from the hunter's office, and the square was the meeting point for the request.

The good offices (mediation) of requests to hunters is also an important task of the hunter's office. A wide variety of requests are presented in various ways, including online and so on. And most requests are limited by Hunter Rank, etc.

Hunter Rank 10. There are naturally only a limited number of requests that can be undertaken by hunters of ratings that are less than rushed out and amateur alike. The request that Akira received was a patrol around the city of Kugamayama. The main job description is to tour the wilderness in a vehicle prepared by the hunter's office and to pinpoint monsters around the city.

The basic reward is paid even if the request is not encountered with a monster. In the event of further encounters, additional rewards will be added depending on the crusade details. Even those with limited strength have a relatively high survival rate because they can work with other hunters to fight, even if they are lucky enough to encounter a large number of monsters, on top of just being in a car and getting gold. If you want money and track record again, you can defeat more monsters faster than any other hunter.

In a way, it's a very convenient request to the rushing hunters who are willing to make it. Even in the sense that you don't have to die as a result of breaking your heart to the point of not dying.

Through the dissemination of information terminals, more and more hunters have been able to complete the request process via information terminals. For this reason (for this reason), procedural methods have recently become mainstream in a format corresponding thereto. Although it is difficult to apply for a request in Akira, where there is no information terminal operation or bundle (nappy), Alpha obtained nothing on behalf of the information terminal operation. Thanks to this, Akira just had to head to the designated location on the assembly date and time.

When the time comes, the hunter's office staff will give instructions to the hunters with loudspeakers.

"Line up and show me your hunter ID! Getting in the car with the specified number! I don't mind until the time of departure, but if I miss the ride, I will waive the request and see it done! Line up!"

The hunters make rows in a motion they're used to. Akira also joined the line. When the order turned temporarily, the other hunters were imitated and the hunter ID was used on the staff member's terminal.

An official reads and clerically divides Akira's information.

"Ride fourteen! Next!"

On his way out of the line to the designated car, Alpha speaks with a subtle expression that he is a little concerned about Akira.

"Fourteen? I guess I should call it Akira's number."

'What do you mean?

'Never mind. Just a few meaningful numbers.'

'... what does that number mean?

'Never mind. Fine. Leave it to me. You'll be fine as long as you have my support. Let's try to survive.'

Akira, who was slightly inclined to the neck at the beginning, also began to panic because of what she was told after continuing to be concerned.

'So what do you mean?!?

'That's the designated car. Let's get in there without delay.'

Alpha didn't try to explain the meaning of the numbers by just floating a powerful smile.

The designated vehicle number 14 is a large wilderness spec truck. Cheap benches are provided at both ends of a roofless carrier. Other hunters were already aboard the carrier. Some of those hunters somehow gazed at Akira trying to get onto the carrier.

A large number of armed men at close range. All those who, if engaged, have no chance of winning on their own. Akira unconsciously imagines the worst to heighten tension. Then Alpha suddenly changed her outfit in front of Akira.

Akira, it's empty.

Akira sat in the confused taught place and looked forward. Then, forgetting the earlier tension in front of the sight, I look slightly suspicious.

"Alpha. Why did you suddenly change your clothes?

Alpha poses lightly and laughs at Akira.

"Do you look good?

Among the sights of hunters armed with large truck carriers with wilderness specifications, a beautiful woman wearing a fairly sickly (stiff) design swimsuit laughs with pleasure as she exposes her skin at all costs. A lot is unnatural at this point.

In addition, no matter what you think, the other hunters are not popular with Alpha. That adds to the unnaturalness of the scene. Akira was once again experiencing Alpha anomalies.

The swimsuit worn by Alpha beautifully embellishes (frightens) its attractive limbs. Akira somehow dislikes to mouth her candid assessment of that swimsuit and instead returns her assessment of a different perspective.

'... at least not fatally suited to this place. Neglected by common sense, even I know that swimsuits aren't the clothes to wear here. That's not a good outfit for a truck carriage to the wilderness. "

Alpha laughs like a prank.

"I am adding color to Akira's vision, caring for Akira, who will continue to see the irreplaceable wilderness for the time being. How about I rewrite the colorlessness that's missing from my vision by myself?

The glamour did add up. That Akira also admits. But more than that, it's basically ruined because of the fact that it's over-supplied.

"I don't care, just put it back."

Alpha smiles provocatively at Akira.

"If you look at me with a rugged face, you'll be suspicious."

Akira gave up gently exhaling and returning Alpha's clothes. The excessive tension and anxiety I remembered when I got on the carrier was completely dispersed with this stupid dispatch (or pick-up).

And Akira wasn't sharp enough to realize that was what Alpha dressed for.

When Akira tries to change her mind, a hunter named Hazawa sitting next to her tongues in a grumpy manner.

"You're a kid again! What's going on? Is this car off the hook!?

The hunter nearby laughed lightly and stood up.

"What are you talking about? It doesn't have to be a prey match, so it's a hit, right?

Useless on the same vehicle. That perception was unanimous, but not until the judgment ahead. Hazawa raises her voice as she looks at the hunters around her, especially the young hunters, including Akira.

"I want to do it safely! I also hear that monsters unfamiliar here have recently arrived at the ruins of Kuzhara Street and that the distribution of monsters in the surrounding area has changed! Do it safely until it calms down. What's wrong! It's up to me to be placed in a squad full of kids like this under such circumstances!

When Akira looked over at the truck carrier and checked the passengers again, Akira and his generation of young hunters were quite mixed up.

Hunter operation is basically a havoc. Hazards and rewards are proportionate. Excessive cowardice and prudence are bad habits of missing corner (because of) earnings and keeping Daesung away, but they are also toothpicks to curb excessive greed that leads to death. The hunters, with considerable experience, laughed lightly at Hazawa's cowardice, but showed an understanding of the reaction.

But a young hunter named Katsuya couldn't laugh it off. It takes Hazawa to eat with an angry look on her face.

"Don't be ridiculous! My Hunter Rank is 19! Even gear isn't as cheap as you guys are using! I'm not equipped or capable with you guys!

Katsuya was confident in her abilities and did acquire quite a bit of them. However, he was often taken lightly because he was young, and Hazawa's words and behavior became cruel and obstructed his seizures.

Hazawa makes a fool of herself when she sees the Katsuya and the others.

"Hmm. You guys would be Drancam kids. Can you trust the hunter ranks of the kids who pulled up on the butts of the veterans and only raised the numbers?"

Drancam is a hunter's detachment party that focuses on Kugamayama city. It was a relatively large organization, to which a large number of hunters belonged, harnessing its organizational capabilities to achieve much.

The Hunter Office has relatively favoured the Hunter Prison Party, which has such great influence. In cases where a large number of personnel are required for a long period of time, such as requests, it is left to the responsibility of the detaining party to adjust personnel, including when dealing with vacancies occur, and to push for the distribution of remuneration. It also has the advantage that it is easier to manage the rough hunters basically by letting them belong to some inmate party.

Due to those circumstances, the Hunter Office also recommended that Hunter belong to some inmate party, which was driving the emergence of a large Hunter Inmate Party.

The Hunter Office also manages the Hunter Prison Party. And one of the guiding principles for evaluating the detachment party is the hunter rank of the hunters they belong to. Mainly the average and sum of the Hunter ranks. As a result, the means were rampant for veterans to take on requests with newcomers who were relatively prone to increase their hunter rank, to sideline their track record in a sense, and to increase the hunter rank of newcomers intentionally and efficiently.

The Hunter's Office was somewhat reticent about the act. Because if you change your perspective, it's also about fostering backwardness. As long as the detachment party had completed its request for the degree of danger corresponding to the raised assessment, it did not make it a major problem.

For this reason, some inmates will jump to increase the total number of Hunter Ranks only in search of preferential treatment from the Hunter Office. Sometimes there are a large number of amateur hunters in the party whose hands are just high in hunter rank. If that's all, it's still good, but some people mistake it for their own strength to imitate (well) foolishness. In the case of collective action, the bumps will be paid for by those who are with the fool.

Hazawa roughs up his voice and complains because he has had dangerous experiences due to the actions of the fool in his hand. In addition, he realized that the Katsuya's gear was higher than his own, and was trying to offset the jealousy that had sprung up with contempt for the Katsuya's.

"I don't think I bought that awesome piece of equipment anyway. It's annoying when you can be alone with one fool in the mood. My foot and my hands."

Katsuya says it back violently with an angry look.

-You 're the one! You've been trying to get other hunters to take you down since the beginning!

"What!? I'm saying I'm sorry to wipe your asses!

Hazawa and Katsuya continued their barren rhetoric and strife, increasing each other's frustration.

On Katsuya's side (buckwheat) were girls named Yumina and Iri, young hunters belonging to Drancam as well. Yumina is embarrassed by the way she bakes care for her childhood.

"Katsuya. Come on. They told you not to make a scene, didn't they?

Aili likewise tried to stop the rash, oiling the fire.

"Katsuya. You don't have to worry about such mutton fish any more"

Katsuya just looked a little dissatisfied with Yumina and the others. But the hazawa that was called for the miscellaneous fish was not done, and they exposed the strong caustic (needles), and they smeared the aili.

Iri goes on unconsciously further without worrying.

"If we are immature, the only one who has been squadronized with us is immature. We'll be right up. I don't deal with a lot of miscellaneous fish smoking in a place like this."

The place quieted down. The hunters, who were called by miscellaneous fishes at once, are turning their hostile gaze towards the rashes. Part of it was also directed at Akira. It was misconstrued to be the same group.

In the air, a hunter named Sikarabe exaggerated. And intimidate everyone on the field with a low voice.

"Come on, all three of you."

Shikarabe is equipped and styled differently from the rest of the hunters, creating an atmosphere of skilled prowess. He's a hunter belonging to Drunkham, who rides as a puller for the Katsuyas, and, to put it badly, he's a babysitter.

Shikarabe sends her gaze around with a troublesome look. Only then did the air completely scratch (or disappear) that was about to start the brawl when I did poorly.

"I'll take care of these guys. I won't bother you guys. That's it."

The other hunters obviously reluctantly retreated to the declarations of the superior hunters. I saw that. I was a little better at Katsuya and Iri.

A hunter's office official screams from the driver to the carrier.

"Time! We're leaving now! The one who's going to make a scene is going to abandon the request and beat it out! And the one in Drancam there! Take good care of the kid! Let's go!"

Other hunters lowered their drinks slightly to the staff reprimand.

Akira had a slightly troublesome look on her face, though she was relieved (mostly) that the noise subsided.

"Why is all this noise happening before we leave?"

Alpha smiles with a little fun.

Maybe it's because of Akira's bad luck.

Akira is convinced of the word and denies it to shake it off.

'... no, there's some kind of strong hunter on board too, so my bad luck shouldn't matter'

The truck set off into the wilderness with the hunters back in calm.

A truck is advancing through the wilderness as it defies its surroundings with a large enemy device.

The patrol request is individually calculated from the monster's crusade performance. Basically, the prey wins early. The determination of the destruction of the monster and the identification of the hunter defeated shall be determined comprehensively from the information collected in the on-board information-gathering device or the like. If the exact crusader is unclear, such as if the hunters defeated their prey with simultaneous fire, the reward will be split between those who may have defeated them. Or distribute evenly among all hunters on board. It is also included in the request to not complain about the determination or distribution.

The bodies and wreckages of the defeated monsters have ownership in the Hunter's Office for once in the handling of loot. This is to prevent the hunter from delaying his plans to bring them back in the middle of a request. Sometimes the recovery team collects those wreckages later, but they are basically left intact. simply because it is inefficient.

The truck continued to patrol well. I ran into a few monsters, but mostly alone and in proximity from afar, with pieces attached by the hunters' long-range shooting.

The hunters are assigned the direction to be received in the seated chair position. The direction in which the monster appeared was skewed to the right where Drancam was sitting with him. Akira was sitting on the left, so far so fruitless.

Hazawa had mistaken Akira sitting next to him for being part of Drancam. Retreat Akira elsewhere with a grumpy attitude.

"You go that way, too. Why are you over here?

Akira answers flatly.

"I have nothing to do with them."

Hazawa looks a little surprised.

"Really? Aren't you a child too?"

"Even kids need money. Not that many requests can even be received by children with low hunter ranks. It's just a coincidence you're in the same car as them."

"Then what are those fortified clothes? Isn't that like borrowing from Drancam or something?

Reinforced clothes are quite expensive, even if they are cheap. At least not the amount you can buy for a rushing hunter. If you're a kid like Akira, it's all the more so. Hazawa had his suspicious eye on Akira based on them.

Akira turns her expression into something a little more serious. There was some sort of determination and readiness.

"I saved money and bought it myself. It was cheap for about two generations ago. Still, I couldn't do it without cutting the cost of lodging. I couldn't stay in an inn with a bath. That's why I haven't taken a bath in a while. I'll get my life back with a bath with the reward of this request."

Hazawa feels a little more determined and ready for Akira's true thoughts.

"Oh well. I'm sorry to be with those guys. Well, I want to take a bath every day, too, and I actually do, so, well, you know how hard it is for you, right?

Can I purchase fortified clothing to the extent that I have cut off the cost of accommodation? That simple question, which was usually floating, did not come to Hazawa's head, which was being pushed by Akira's temper.

Katsuya and the others were shooting monsters in a slightly loose atmosphere with light bickering. Whether that came from the margins against which the definitive strength was set, or from the immaturity lacking in the sense of crisis, it was enough to frustrate (or frustrate) the hunters who were obsessed with the Katsuya and the others because of the noise before they left.

Katsuya targets a long-range monster with a sniper gun. Firmly aimed and pulled the trigger, but the bullet was significantly off target due to the shaking of the vehicle body, distance from the target, the person's arm, etc.

"Off the hook. That's hard."

Yumina smiles even though she is a little dazed.

"Katsuya. I knew it was too far away. You'd better attract more and then shoot."

Reach out to the katsuya so that Aili can give him the gun and make it sudden.

"My turn next"

"Wait! I'll hit it next!

Prey destruction is a quick winner, but only katsuya is after it. This is due to the difference in the effective range of the gun. In other words, it was true that the young hunters belonging to Drancam were better equipped than the other hunters.

Katsuya continued sniping several times, but the monster packs the distance from the truck without being hit. Around the time the other hunters started putting up guns, the young hunters belonging to Drancam took advantage of a slightly longer effective range to destroy the monsters with simultaneous fire. Given the cost of ammunition consumed, it is subtle whether it is profitable or not.

Iri reaches for Katsuya as she lowers her gun, regretting that Katsuya couldn't defeat him on her own.

"Katsuya. Take turns"

"... I get it."

Katsuya reluctantly hands the gun to Aili. Yumina was laughing bitterly when she saw how it was going.

Drancam's young hunters used gun performance to single-handedly occupy their prey. Prey wins early. Hunter operation is a strength society. I have no brother-in-law or obligation to give up my prey. But if it doesn't hurt the mood of the other hunters, it's something else.

Hazawa muttered in a grumpy manner when she saw how the rashes were.

"The kids. Goddamn it! Yeah, I didn't tell you, did I?

Hazawa added lightly, recalling that Akira was next door. It didn't look like I cared about Akira.

"Fine. I'm aware that you're a child."

"Right. Speaking of which, your gun is also an AAH assault gun. Me too."

Hazawa shows Akira his gun. Sure, it's the same AAH assault gun, but there were quite a few differences in service status compared to Akira's gun. Still, I find the same gun user as my favorite gun to get in a better mood.

"That's a good gun, right? Famous gun. Some people make fun of it for being a cheap gun, but it's not like you should use an expensive gun. If you can't keep up with your arms for using a high gun, remove it."

Hazawa saw Katsuya chilling. I didn't say it sounded like a state (deliberately), but the carrier wasn't that wide, and I could hear it from Katsuya.

Katsuya looks grumpy and looks at Hazawa, and laughs as Hazawa notices it makes a fool of Katsuya.

Akira mouths her opinion somehow.

"We're going for a monster at a distance from the swinging carrier of a moving truck. It won't be easy to hit."

Hazawa distorted her face to dissatisfaction with the kind of words that defended Akira's katsuya; conversely, Katsuya laughed with a little satisfaction. But it also covers with Akira's continued words.

"Don't worry, I won't imitate the bullets that won't even hit me and attract monsters. Take care of it. I won't bother you over here. That's what I'm talking about. Leave the other thing alone until the monster sticks to the truck."

Hazawa got in a good mood for Akira's remarks, which were like saying that Katsuya was wrapped around her feet in the dark, and Katsuya got upset on the contrary.

Having been in a good mood enough, Hazawa lost interest in Katsuya and returned her gaze to Akira. And I tell him I'm in a good mood.

"It's the same gun friendship. If a monster comes this way, let's get ahead of ourselves."

"... Hi"

Then a monster appeared in Akira's range. A monster with a larger carnivorous appearance notices the truck and moves toward Akira and the others.

Akira put up her gun as she breathed gently trying to calm down.

"Alpha. Ask for support"

"How much support do you have? This is a different corner (because of it) opportunity from your usual training, and you want to aim for it yourself for a little bit?

'No, support me whenever you can. With all this shaking, I don't feel like hitting it unless Alpha helps me. This corner opportunity will be used to test how effective Alpha support can be in this situation.'

Alpha smiles winningly.

'Alas, when you say that, I have to show Akira the effectiveness of my support, too. Leave it to me.'

"I asked."

Akira puts a gun on a swinging carrier, peeks at the aimer, and sticks to it. Vision is expanded to show the line of ballistic prediction and the weakness site of the monster. The shaking of the vehicle's body should dramatically change the view of the destination, but the sight over the sight continued to accurately capture the monster in the effective range sweep position of the AAH assault gun. Alpha is moving the gun slightly more precisely as the body vibrates.

into the motion of Akira pulling the trigger. The alpha that reads it puts the carrier shake into the calculation to operate the reinforced garment. Reinforced clothing, which raised its output to its limit, precisely fixed Akira's posture and the gun she was erecting.

Akira pulls the trigger. The bullet fired accurately hit the weak spot of a long-range monster thanks to extremely advanced precision shooting with Alpha support. Pull the trigger twice more. A total of three bullets were hit with what appeared to be an anomaly, and landed frantically in the same spot of the moving monster. The last bullet had penetrated the monster's skull to reach his brain. The monster collapsed flashly and deathly, aggravating his injuries with minor, serious and fatal injuries each time he was hit.

Hazawa looked at the collapsed monster and smiled with a surprisingly slightly drawn smile. I didn't even think it would hit shards at this distance.

"Oh, come on."

Akira puts the gun down and answers like it's nothing.

It's a famous gun.

"Oh, yeah."

Hazawa was even more surprised and bewildered by Akira's attitude, which he didn't take for granted.

Akira actually took it for granted. I actually guessed it because it's not me, it's Alpha. The alpha smiles very well.

-What do you think?

"Awesome"

Alpha makes a slightly dissatisfied face.

"You're unresponsive for that."

'Really? I've been surprised since I met Alpha. Maybe it's time for me to get used to it. "

"Really? Then I'll surprise you again soon."

Alpha said so and laughed with pleasure as usual. Akira responds poorly to Alpha and is flat to avoid becoming suspicious.

The way Akira looks from others who can't see Alpha is a powerful man who won't laugh if he achieves a very high degree of sniping easily. Hazawa wasn't the only one surprised to see that.

A truck that has completed its patrol around the city is putting its path back into the city. The hunters on the carrier had already de-alerted. A lot of people started wasting their minds, and the carriage was getting a little noisy.

Katsuya is looking at Akira. Akira noticed that too but ignored it.

"Akira, you've been watching me for a while."

"It's not like they're selling me another fight. I'll leave you alone. '

'Right. Maybe they're just rare kids other than themselves. "

Akira decides that they are the ones who cause trouble by inadvertently making noise about the Katsuya and the others. I wasn't willing to get involved unless you interfered from the other side.

In the sense of a troublemaker, it can also be said that Akira, who made a scene in Cheryl's stronghold the other day, is of worse quality. Akira was up on the shelf after realizing it.

"Alpha. I ended up just knocking down one monster, but do you repeat these requests temporarily? What kind of reward is that?

'At least you're still far from the amount of money you can stay in a bathed room. If you get raided by a bunch of monsters like before, the rewards will jump, though.'

'Give me a break. I'll never forgive you for that again. "

Akira distorted her face when she remembered her experience during the monster raid. But Alpha was smiling sparingly.

"I think I can run away next time because I've got some fortified clothes."

'I don't like it. What will you do if my legs are cut a thousand times? "

'Use your healing pills then before you run out of thousands. We should be able to afford a lot of time until we run out. "

"Think of specific ways to deal with this in a way that avoids the situation."

Akira turned her face to the wilderness with her expression distorted. If someone asks you about your current look, let's just say you're unhappy that you didn't make too much money. That's what I was thinking.

Ask Yumina and Iri as Katsuya looked at Akira with a suspicious face.

"Hey, I mean when he defeated the monster, did you see it?

Aili shakes her head to the side and answers concisely.

"I didn't see it."

"I haven't seen it either. What's wrong with you?

When Yumina asked back strangely, Katsuya gave a slightly unfortunate look.

"You haven't seen either of them."

"We were training our enemies. I didn't see the other side.... and so should Katsuya, right? How could you have watched a monster come out on the other side get knocked down? You were skipping, weren't you?

Yumina had made her smile contain a mild sense of intimidation. Laughs as Katsuya deceives herself, aware of her disadvantages.

"Wow, I'm sorry. I was just watching because I heard a conversation that bothered me a little bit."

"Stay with me. We're going to team up. Even if I say it's the team that makes up for some mistakes, there's a limit to me following Katsuya's mistakes, right?

Katsuya sees Yumina entering the preaching posture and sends a gaze to Aili asking for help. Pinch your mouth so Aili doesn't read the air.

"What do you care?

Quickly answer (to) block the sermon that Katsuya is likely to become Yumina long.

"Oh, actually..."

Yumina noticed Iri's helpship and laughed lightly as if she had no choice.

I heard a story from Katsuya about Akira's shooting. Iri thinks lightly before answering.

"Perhaps by chance or by mistake."

"Is that what you hit by chance at that distance?

"It is an effective range of AAH assault guns. It could happen. And I may not have hit it. Maybe he hit the ground nearby and a surprised monster collapsed into shape and fell to the ground and broke his neck bone. Other hunters may have sniped at almost the same time. It's hard to imagine he deliberately targeted and let it hit"

"Right. But he seemed to me to have guessed."

"I haven't seen it, so I can only call it a coincidence. And..."

"And?"

"It's none of our business if you're after something else."

Yumina asks a little strangely.

"Why does Katsuya care so much about that?

Eiri also continues in a slightly dissatisfied manner.

"Better care about the hunters on the same team than the hunters on the same inmate party"

Katsuya cared about Akira because of Hazawa's attitude. Because those who made a clear fool of themselves because they were children had an attitude towards Akira that they would admit somewhere. That became even more pronounced after Akira defeated the monster.

Akira is admitted even though she is the same child, and she cannot admit herself. Katsuya simply didn't like it. But to be honest with it was also a shame, so it clouds the language properly.

"Uh, nothing. I was just wondering because he was a similar age to me. Of course, Yumina and Iri are more important than that."

Show Yumina how embarrassed she looks.

"Hey, suddenly..."

Aili snorted a little.

"That's good."

Yumina and the others also knew that Katsuya was about to deceive them. But because of the weakness of love, he was deceived after figuring it out.

Hazawa talks to Akira as she looks at the rashes and complains again.

"Damn, they're blind to the end."

Answer in such a way that Akira doesn't seem to care.

"Leave me alone. It's just tiring to react, and it's a loss to get involved poorly and rub (too) seriously. The strong ones are nearby."

I see Shikarabe with Hazawa near the Katsuya and the others chilling.

"... well yeah. But some guys like you, some kids like them. I wonder why it's different."

For Hazawa, it was a very meaningless whine. But after hearing it, Akira answers with a slight silence and then a slightly more serious tone.

"There's no big difference between them and me."

"Really? It looks very different to me, though."

"Same. Even if there's a difference in degrees, it doesn't make a difference that you're out in the wilderness with your life at stake. Even if the person is not aware of it. Luck and strength in site exploration. Luck and strength to deal with monsters. Luck and strength to handle troubles. The higher the stakes and the lower the chance of winning, the greater the reward. That's the same with those guys. Sometimes you will encounter more of those people than you are in the wilderness. We didn't have the strength to avoid them or the luck to meet them. That's all. And I had the luck to come back without anything. That's all."

That's all Akira said and shut up to hide her mood.

What Akira said earlier was almost (mostly) an excuse to herself.

The biggest advantage of belonging to the Hunter Party is that it has the support of others. By comparison in that respect, I receive such a privilege that I am not compared to the Katsuya and the others, who are supported by Alpha.

However, despite the fact that I and my generation of hunters are in the same wilderness at the same request, the Katsuya and the others have so much leeway and fun that they seem to be playing. It was also true that I was a little envious of that.

Hazawa had a certain thought as she watched the Akira in silence.

Akira's gun is the same AAH assault gun she is. I watched as Akira lightly defeated the monster with that gun. At that time, he was apparently trying to remain calm, but was quite surprised inside.

I can't do the same thing with the same gun. I'm not sure I'm going to hit someone that distance. He releases a bullet like a scattered sow, expects a few rounds to hit him somewhere, continues to shoot after blunting his movements, and stabs him with certainty after inflicting a fatal wound. That's the limit for me. It's impossible to defeat them with a minimum number of bullets, like Akira. That's what I understood.

Hazawa compares Akira's gun to his own. Same AAH assault gun, but Akira's gun looks well maintained. I looked at my gun and tried to remember when it was the last time I was well maintained, but I couldn't remember.

AAH assault guns that keep their performance there even if they don't keep busy are definitely famous guns. But if you fail to maintain it, you will lose performance. Hazawa was suddenly looking miserable with his own gun.

Hazawa laughs bitterly.

(... I went out into the wilderness with these guns and they came back alive. Maybe I'm lucky, too)

I am risking going out into the wilderness with a gun that I have received a less dangerous crusade request for fear of death, but I have not even maintained it on my busy side. Even (just) have changed jobs that I thought were not suitable for the price to something that is even less suitable for the price.

Hazawa also used to run a slightly more aggressive hunter operation. He dived into many ruins, found many artifacts, fought many monsters, and survived.

I have seen many deaths at the same time. It was the death of a colleague who together headed to the ruins, the death of an engaged night thief, or the appearance of a hunter who suddenly stopped coming to the tavern. Many deaths kept Hazawa's legs away from danger. That was depriving me of the possibility of adultery in exchange for my safety.

(... If you only do cheap jobs for fear of danger, it's natural to become a depressed hunter. I used to try to be more...)

Hazawa felt a strong discomfort towards the Katsuya and others because he felt the will of those who sought to become the attitude of the Katsuya and others. The Katsuya and the others are at least trying to make it without regard for danger. If its luck and strength is real, it runs right up to the upper realm, as Iri put it.

Katsuya and the others are at least willing to do so. As Hazawa once was.

(... Let's finish our work today and make sure we get the guns in order. And start over. Aim to look like the hunter I dreamed of that day. You're lucky. I was lucky to see these guys today, too. Fate is telling me to start over)

Unbeknownst Hazawa was determined.

In fact, Hazawa was a man of luck. That's why I ended my work today and went back to the inn to fix the gun. The luck was stronger than Hazawa thought.
