Rebuild World

Back at the inn, Akira quickly turned the room into something with a bath. When you enter a room a little bigger and unload your bags, you declare with a serious look.

"Alpha. I'll tell you first. You're off today, aren't you? No, I'm off today. I'll rest."

Alpha laughs and answers.

'Don't worry. I'm off today. "

"Okay. Then we'll take a bath."

Akira tried to get to the bathroom in a good mood. But Alpha can stop me.

"If you want to come in slowly, I think you should do a lot of errands first."

"An errand? Did something happen?

"When you left your bike with Cheryl yesterday, you didn't specifically explain the duration of the deposit, did you? You may mistakenly be waiting for me to come back for it right away, so I think you should show your face and explain it to me once. Besides, I haven't paid Sijima half a million orams of the rest yet. I think it would be better to get it done sooner, because late payment could destroy the settlement. '

Akira, who was already in the mood to take a bath, shows difficulty.

"... do we have to do that right away?

'I won't force you, but you won't know if you leave me alone and develop into trouble, will you?

Alpha was smiling like nothing. But on the contrary, Akira, fuelled by anxiety, had no choice but to run errands first.

Akira is moving along Slam Street a little bit, because she's packing more spare ammunition in her rucksack, in addition to two AAH assault guns and a CWH objective assault gun.

The weight of the equipment itself is not bitter thanks to the physical ability of the reinforced garments. However, the operation difficulty of the reinforced garment increases only for the weight. Of course, it would be perfectly fine if Alpha supported me, but now I was walking on my own with training. It was difficult to even walk normally because of the behavior.

'It's a struggle just to walk. CWH Objective Assault Gun. Should I have put it down?

'No, you can't. There will be more battles using CWH objective assault guns in the future. Get used to it now. You wouldn't like to try another mechanical monster with an AAH assault gun, would you?

Akira laughs bitterly remembering her struggle the other day.

'Right. I bought a corner (because of it). Do your best to get used to it so that it can be used properly'

Keep walking slowly through Slam Street. Immatures swinging in the mood and new gear. It's not so unusual to look like a hunter.

Still, the majority of the residents of Slam Street gave way to Akira. Because imitating people wearing fortified clothes and selling fights to people carrying large guns for monsters is no different than suicide.

The boy, who was avoiding people in the alley of Slam Street to avoid being attacked by someone, was on the side of being avoided without his consciousness.

Cheryl invited Akira to her room in a good mood when she came to base. And when we closed the door for fun and were alone, we hugged Akira from the front, who unloaded her luggage.

Akira expects to exhale lightly.

Get away from me.

"Isn't that good? I left immediately yesterday, including for that matter."

"I don't know what it's for, but I'm here for you. Later, please."

"Okay. Since we're done here, right?

When Cheryl leaves Akira, she smiles (cheeks) happily as she says she has taken her word for herself, staring firmly at Akira.

Akira gradually understood that Cheryl had become a troublesome person in another direction and that this strange attitude would probably continue in the future.

After rearranging and sitting facing the table, remove 500,000 aurum from the rucksack in a natural manner and place it on the table.

"It's the late payment of the settlement with Sijima. Now you pay me."

Cheryl shows a slight upset. It's a lot of money with that much meaning and power for slum city kids like Cheryl and the others. Are you forcing me to avoid rubbing with the sissies? I ask to be a little concerned because I think so.

"Um, are you okay? I haven't received any payment reminders yet, so I don't think it's a problem to keep them waiting for a while."

"I made a lot of money from yesterday's work. From the whole reward point of view, it's fine because it's gold."

Akira had a slightly strange sense of reality, answering that lightly.

In Alpha's sense, even the 12 million aurum of the total reward is end gold, and this 500,000 aurum is even end gold. And even Akira's sense of money didn't make the money in front of her anymore.

Akira was wolfish (wandering) at 200,000 orum, aware that she had disappeared, and was a little lost in judging whether it was growth, dull, paralyzed (eyelids), good or bad.

Cheryl smiled even though she was a little surprised.

"Okay. Pay Sijima from me."

"I left the bike behind, but I don't have a wheel park in the inn, and I'm not going to stop there, so I'd like to keep it for now, instead of a wheel park, okay?

"I don't mind you putting it down forever. I'll keep it for days or years. Because it would be better if Akira stopped by for a little while and recognized it as such to help prevent crime at the base."

"Right. Sorry."

Cheryl responded lovingly and inexorably with pleasure, while spinning through various inferences in her heart. A cheap room when I met Akira before, and the stripping of economic conditions that call half a million aurums edged (broken) gold. Meaning we left the bike to ourselves without staying in a room with a garage in that economic situation. I was reading them a lot in depth.

"That's about all the errands from me. Anything from Cheryl?

And as soon as Akira told me that, Cheryl shelved all those thoughts once.

"There isn't. Now you're ready, aren't you?

Cheryl smiled a little lusciously and, while Akira could not decide her attitude when she saw it, moved her seat next to Akira and hugged her to hang. And slightly clouds the look that seems delightful.

"... that's a lot of hard clothing"

"It's fortified clothing. They must be harder than normal clothes."

"It's stiff. Why don't you take it off?

"I don't like it."

"Isn't that good? It's not diminishing."

"No, less. I'm sure my physical abilities will be reduced just by taking off my fortified clothes."

"But if it stays like this, it'll take longer to hold it, won't it?

"Why?

'Cause it makes me less satisfied'

A strange conversation broke out between Akira, who looked slightly troubled and troublesome, and Cheryl, who smiled (cheeks) happily as she gazed at Akira, wondering whether she was serious or joking. I was gazing at her temporarily, but Akira broke first.

Cheryl is in a better mood for Akira, who exhaled lightly and took off her fortified clothes only in her upper body. The expression was mixed with reassurance, happiness, bliss and pleasure in a largely skewed ratio, ruining a lot of similar rare (rare) beauty. There was a strange (occasional) voice leaking from my mouth.

Cheryl was experiencing the feeling that something in her was going to fill up.

There's nothing harmful about it, I don't care, and if I let you like it for the time being, you'll leave within it. Akira was silently embraced by Cheryl to that extent, but when she saw herself and noticed Alpha smiling meaningfully as if she were enjoying herself, she slightly turned her face.

'... what is it?'

'It's nothing. I don't know why, but he seems to have missed a lot. I knew Akira was interested in doing the same?

"Why are we talking about that..."

Akira exhales.

"Cheryl. It's time to cut it up. I'm still tired from yesterday and I'm going to take a slow bath and rest today."

"It's also here if you're in the bathroom. Do you want to go in?

"What? Is there a bath here?

"Yes. It's a pretty big tub, so I think you can take your time, right?

"Even though it's a building like an abandoned house, does the bath work well? Even if there's equipment, what's going on with the hot water royalties? You're not gonna stop or anything?

"I heard that cities only supply water so that slum city dwellers don't riot in search of water or the disease spreads (hives) based on unsanitary conditions, and that spreads to subdivisions? Didn't you know?

"I know that. I used to wipe my body, too. But I didn't know you even supplied hot water. Oh, so you can serve coffee"

The majority of Slam Street dwellings are unknown to their owners and users, and they are inherently unpaid for water supplies and other charges. The urban side nevertheless continues to supply as part of the management of the slum district. Because it also helps to understand the approximate number of inhabitants and the state of activity in Slam Street from usage, etc.

And the supply can be restricted or stopped at any time at the convenience of the city. Free supply was maintained by city-side convenience, valuable goodwill and ruthless profitability in order to slow down residents to the required number if necessary, so that slum streets did not expand beyond what was necessary.

"There are not so many buildings that can be used to bathe water, so this base is pretty popular. Shibea and the others strove as hard as they could, and we just inherited it as it was, so if there's no shield behind Akira, they'll kick us out right away. So, thanks to Akira, you can always come and take a bath. I'll get you ready as soon as I get in. Do you want to come in?

"No, I'm gonna go back and take a bath in the inn, it's gonna be okay"

"I'll come in with you and flush your back and wash a lot, right?

"... I rented a bathed inn on purpose. I'll come in that way. I want to get some rest at the inn."

"Really? Too bad."

Cheryl was really going to come in with Akira if she didn't say no. But when he noticed a slight change in Akira's attitude, he immediately stopped recommending it. I can't bring fortified clothes or guns into the bathroom. I was simply refused bathing because of a credibility issue. Akira is taking off her fortified clothes only on top now because she can eliminate them without any problems if she is attacked by herself. I understood that and pulled back a lot.

(... not trusted)

Cheryl understood it naturally, but felt a little sad, strengthening the power to hold Akira.

The door to the room is knocked. Reply with Cheryl slightly grumpy on the table.

"For what?

Answer as Elio, who knocked, wandered over the grumpy Cheryl voice.

"Boss. The sizimas are here. We need to talk."

"... yes. I'll be right there."

I have to do my job as a captive party boss in order to get credit from Akira. Cheryl thought so, unfortunately leaving Akira.

In a room where the tables and chairs are all set (about) to be called the reception room, Akira and Sijima are facing each other. Akira, Cheryl and Sijima sit down. Behind Sijima stands the armed men who brought them as escorts with a serious face they can afford. Behind Cheryl stood Elio and Alicia with a tense look.

A prisoner child puts coffee on the table looking very nervous and leaves the room quickly just saying that he has done his job. Elio and the others, who felt left behind, looked resentfully at the child.

Cheryl smiles at Sijima across the street.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not getting any tea treats. We can't afford it either. I'm sorry."

I don't mind.

"So, what is it for you?

"What, I'm just in the mood. I couldn't even talk to Roku after that."

"Yes, as you can see, Akira is safe."

"Looking good, above all."

Cheryl smiles at each other calmly, while Sijima shows Pierce. It showed that the grin understands what it means to talk to each other.

Akira, on the other hand, didn't know what that meant and had a slightly surprising look on her face.

"Alpha. What's the conversation now?

"Perhaps Sijima came to see Cheryl in person to check on Akira's condition. Many hunters were killed or injured in the recent major raid. So I guess you thought there was no wonder Akira was dead. If Cheryl was a werewolf, Akira would have been killed or wounded. I lost my back shield. That's why Cheryl said Akira was safe. Sijima means she confirmed it, and I think she looks fine and answered above all. '

Akira caught up with Alpha's explanation.

"You don't have a loophole, you stink."

"One of the hardships borne by a man who leads an organization."

Place the 500,000 aurum Cheryl gave Akira earlier on the table.

"Remainder."

"Sure. This is why the matter ended peacefully. I want to get along with you from now on."

"I hope so."

Sijima was checking on Akira and Cheryl as she spoke.

Sijima observes Akira. While many people cannot wear fortified clothing due to financial problems for hunters and others who do not get depressed, Akira is already wearing fortified clothing and even equipped with a large gun that presupposes the physical ability of the fortified clothing for use. I spent a lot of time estimating that gear and reviewing the strength of the hunters who make that much money to get more vigilant about Akira.

(... I didn't know you were just a kid, but did you get all this gear up in this short period of time? Should I praise my choice to not be hostile to this guy then, or should I lament that I didn't make the choice to kill this guy before he was fully equipped... Well, now)

Sijima observes Cheryl. The atmosphere of Cheryl, who was calm and smiling, was filled with confidence and leeway like others before. When I came to my stronghold with Akira, there were no shards (shards) left that were trembling with tension and fear. Even when I gave out half a million aurums, I kept my natural body, even though it was not strange for a slum city dweller to show a constant reaction just because it appeared in his sight. That's the same for reacting to armed men. It's normal for Elio and the others to be nervous. But Cheryl hasn't broken her smile.

(... why is this guy so spare? Because you understand Akira's prowess as a backshield? Sure, it's true that you can't handle it poorly anymore, but that shouldn't go away until you're upset about the money. The two behind us were freaking out at us and at the money. Why is this the only guy showing so much room? Suddenly you won't have the guts to do that. What the hell happened to this guy?

Sijima adds new information about Akira and Cheryl in front of her, including information about the size, strength, and extent of the territory of the party with Cheryl and the others, to devise guidelines for the future. And when I finished playing the Abacus in my head, I pointed a smile at Cheryl that wasn't meant to be underneath. He admitted he was the one who needed to negotiate seriously.

"Then I want to talk about the future. It's a good story for each other's detachment. It's going to be a long story, but is that convenient for you? It was this way that I suddenly pushed. If it's not convenient, let's change the day."

Cheryl noticed a change in Sijima's attitude. The fact that it can no longer be taken lightly means that the force has also increased when crushing. After understanding that, I answer with an unwavering smile.

"It's okay. Let's start like this."

"Now we're talking about the territory that caused the last rub..."

There Akira interrupts.

"Oh, you got a second? Do I have to hang out with this story? It's going to be a long time, and I'd love to go home if I could..."

Other human gazes gathered in Akira for remarks that did not read the air of Akira's place.

Smile at Akira without showing Cheryl any surprise or panic bareback.

"Right. I also find it tempting to attach Akira to a story I don't know when it will end and detain her for a long time. Don't worry about me. It's okay."

Sijima continues with a serious look.

"Whatever the difference in size, it's a discussion between the inmate bosses. I want the irrelevant to leave."

Elio and the others were sending Akira their gaze that they would not return, but unfortunately it didn't arrive because it was Akira's back.

"Right. Then I'll go home. Cheryl, let me know if anything happens."

"We're sorry for the inconvenience. Come back anytime."

Akira leaves the room. Cheryl laughed at it and dropped it off, but Elio and the others grew nervous and paled as soon as the deterrent to protecting themselves disappeared from the scene.

Cheryl notices what's going on with Elio and tells him without looking back.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen with Akira gone. It's not like a fool like the other one came here."

Sijima also goes on in the sense of stabbing nails (creases) if she doesn't do anything extra to her men.

"I don't want to be unnecessarily hostile. I made him pay a million aurums to talk about it. Even if the negotiations end badly, I won't rub them in here."

In the words of Cheryl and the others, the tension between the Elios was only slightly alleviated. But at the same time, it only had that degree of effect.

I want it to be over soon. That wish of Elio and Alicia was not heard and the negotiations between Cheryl and Sizima continued for quite some time.

Akira is taking an inn bath. He soaked himself up to his neck in warm water plenty in the tub, loosening his expression and leaving himself to the pleasure of bathing. I was experiencing fatigue melting out of my whole body.

It's only a matter of time before Akira's consciousness is swallowed up in the hot tub and she can't even take a simple answer. Before that, Alpha calls out.

"Akira. I'm sorry to be in the midst of feeding you English, but can we talk about the future?

Align the gaze Akira was blurring into the universe with Alpha.

Alpha is taking a bath with her, just like before. Glossy skin is slightly reddish due to the warmth of the water. An attractive, even limb is shaking with the refraction and gentle waves of hot water, making the reflection of light all kinds of hidden. A drop of water and sweat slips down into the valley of the busty chest and is sucked in. Beautiful and lustrous (ah so) and feminine beauty that cost advanced arithmetic was there.

But Akira's reaction to that Alpha figure is cruel and dull. In addition to various daily habits, he was very diluted in his interest in rare (rare) nudity where the situation was similar: being bathed.

I don't want to hear any trouble in this situation. Akira's senses were to that extent.

"... are we talking about a request after tomorrow?

'That's right. That's exactly what I'm talking about when I get a request.'

"I don't care what they say. Is there anything besides being vigilant and discreet as ever?

Alpha advises with a serious face.

'I do. From now on, I need to be so careful that I think it's over if I get injured. I consumed a lot of the healing pills I got at the ruins. There's only a few left. From now on, it's going to be harder to push on the healing pills. Be really careful.'

Akira will ask once she understands the seriousness of the matter from Alpha's attitude.

"Can't it be the recovery pills I bought at Mr. Sizka's?

'It's a completely different performance. You broke your leg yesterday, didn't you? If I had used it before, it would have healed in less than five minutes, but if I bought it yesterday, I'd need two weeks to fully heal it. "

Akira blushes.

"... you're not at all. Then why don't we just buy a similar recovery pill?

'That's hard too. Even if they were selling it somewhere, they'd do at least a million aurums a box.'

Akira blows out with an extra surprise.

"Me, I've been drinking piles of such expensive stuff before!?

"Though you didn't have to die because of it, you got it high."

Akira understood the seriousness of the situation correctly. From now on, if you get hurt badly, it's not just that fight, it's going to continue to make you fatally worse until your life afterwards. There are limits to living while making up for broken legs with fortified clothing. In some cases, it's not even death.

"That's right. Why don't you go back to the ruins and look for the recovery pills? If you look, I think you still have it."

Akira brightened her expression that she had come up with something good while I was at it, but she immediately turned it back when she saw Alpha shaking her neck lightly beside her.

"Perhaps the distribution of monsters in Kuzhara Street ruins has changed dramatically during the recent major raid. Originally, there may be monsters wandering around the outer periphery more behind the ruins. If Akira goes now, she'll probably die with my support. '

"... can't you? Okay, I'll be as careful as I can."

'Please. I'll be there for you, too. Good luck.'

Akira failed in an attempt to tighten her mind, losing the pleasure of the hot tub. A distracted voice leaks from Akira.

Akira and Alpha's eyes meet.

"... you have no choice."

"Well, it's Akira who feels painful to do something far-fetched. I am forced to walk with my legs broken. Be very careful not to be the wings experiencing the use of that hand of fortified clothing '

"It just seems painful to imagine. I'll be careful."

Akira caught her mind this time.

Sijima, who returned to her base after negotiating with Cheryl, is wrapping her thoughts around in her room.

As a result of the negotiations, half of Cheryl's territory, which the current Cheryls cannot control, was transferred to the Sizimas. In return, Cheryl received a million aurums, on which a certain cooperative relationship was to be established in the future.

(... the negotiations weren't bad. We've got more territory. but......)

Sijima clouds her face with unclear concerns.

(... I'm still concerned about Cheryl changing. I'm more concerned than Akira. What's that source of confidence and spare time? Are you just totally hand-to-hand with Akira and in good shape?... No, you don't think that's all)

I may have woken up something unnecessary. I couldn't shake that concern off to Sijima.
