Rebuild World

40 At Sizka's

When Akira made a face at Sizka's store and placed an order for ammunition replenishment, Sizka looked a little surprised to find out what was bothering her about the order.

"Akira. You seem to buy in a lot of thorough armor ammunition, but are you also planning to use that much?

"I mean, I've run out of time on my hands. So now I'm ordering more, including spares, so I don't cut them during the fight."

That usually means you fought powerful monsters that are ineffective with bullets. It is also powerful enough to use up all the armored ammunition in your hand, or (some) powerful enough to suck at both of them.

Didn't I force you to do it again? Sizka, who thought so, looked a little worried about Akira, but smiled a little strong as she could spot the hiding.

"May I ask what happened?

"Eh, I got a request related to construction work on a temporary base at the Kuzsuhara Street site, where I ran into a ton of Yarata sasoris..."

Akira gave a pale account of what was going on at that time. Since she spoke so normally, she stroked her chest down, deciding that Sizka would not have been particularly dangerous.

In fact, it was in such a dangerous state that I tried to abandon the hunters I helped once. But since it was easy to escape if he abandoned the hunters himself, and the hunters were actually helpful, Akira had appropriately omitted explanations rather than so serious a situation. So I didn't realize Sizka was in that dangerous condition either.

"... That's why it was a bit of a tough situation when it was usually an AAH assault gun bullet. So just in case, I decided to add more armor rounds, and this time I decided to order more armor rounds."

Relieved Sizka smiles gently and lovingly (cheeks) and suggests a means to satisfy both Akira's safety and the store's sales improvement.

"Then it's also important to increase the number of armoured ammunition spares, but I would recommend modifying AAH assault guns. If you modify it and use heavy ammunition, you will be able to fight Yarata Sasori enough, and usually ammunition will improve its power considerably. There are limits, though."

"Is it a modification? But isn't that hard?

"When it comes to remodeling, it just replaces some of the parts. If you can fix guns normally, that's fine. Look, I know you've explained this a little before, but you're an AAH enthusiast, right? They make their own replacement parts. Some of them are still commercialized and widely distributed. Probably part of an outreach effort. I also have some modified parts in my store. It should be cheaper than using generic armor rounds with CWH objective assault guns because they are usually less effective with AAH assault guns when dealing with a slightly stiff monster. What do you think?"

Except for the economic problems, there's no reason to turn down Sizka's recommendation to Akira. And the problem has been solved with the reward of the last request. Unlike the other day's suppression work on the building, the rescue work was quite highly regarded. That makes for quite a reward, and Akira's nostalgia is pretty warm right now. Don't hesitate to ride Sizka's recommendations.

"Okay. Then I'd like Mr. Sizka's advice."

"Thank you for your purchase."

Akira had a slightly better smile on her face that the hunter she had earned floated. Sizka jokes and smiles a little funny.

Modified parts of AAH assault guns are arranged in front of Akira. Mounting part of the expansion magazine that increases the number of loads. Aimers that can work with information-gathering equipment. barrel that improves the power of the bullet. There are countless other types of modified parts, but they are part of what we deal with in Sizka stores.

Akira looked at them with interest as she listened to Sizka's explanation.

"You've got a lot going on"

"It's still part of the product that's out there. There are even products in there that I doubt need to be incorporated into AAH assault guns. Even though it's cheaper to buy another gun and it's high performance, there are parts that you can incorporate (intentionally) to force (do) AAH assault guns. It's like an AAH enthusiast obsession."

"Is there even such a thing? I'm talking about incorporating this modified barrel makes it more powerful, but is it something that makes quite a difference with the same normal bullet?

"Pretty different. Besides the increased power, the recoil will be lighter. I don't know if you ask me about that principle or the technical details. We do a lot of things with that awesome technology. That's all I know. It's called old world technology."

"Is it old world technology…"

The anomaly of old world technology is stained with Akira as well. A specific example of this is a monster. Even Akira's awkward scientific knowledge is obviously impossible, and there are many monsters, no matter what you think. They are also the product of technology in the old world.

Akira also teaches basic scientific knowledge from Alpha in her daily studies, but it was forbidden to ask monsters as examples what went against what was taught there.

Those contradictions and inexplicable events are realized with advanced magical technologies in the old world. Trying to get enough knowledge to solve that contradiction, that's all I use up the rest of Akira's life. So don't worry about it now. That's what they said and it was stopped.

"Old world technology. It's also a problem to convince yourself of everything in one word, but that said, you need to work hard enough to dedicate your life to science to gain enough knowledge to understand and convince you correctly. Scientists in large corporation laboratories must be devoting their lives to it, but even those people struggle to understand it."

A barrel that changes the weight, velocity, and material properties of a bullet. Expanded magazine warehouse with loaded numbers that shouldn't be that size. They are all manufactured using old world technology. And most of the technologies used have not even figured out their principles.

"If you're not convinced by the explanation of old world technology, you'll have to become a scientist in that hand and find out for yourself. Do you want Akira to be a scientist now, too?

If you say you're not interested in the knowledge of that hand, you're lying. But Akira has a heap of other things to know and do. We can't afford to spend time exploring technology in the old world.

"I'm a hunter, so I'm convinced of that now"

Akira smiled back at the joke Sizka said, laughing a little pranky (naughty).

Subsequently, as recommended by Sizka, several modified parts for AAH assault guns were purchased, as well as aiming devices that could be linked to information-gathering equipment. Paying for more ammunition replenishments made most of the money the other day disappeared.

Improve your equipment and your life. If you take the former, you can expect to make more money and be safe. However, neglecting the latter would make everyday life rough and adversely affect the operation of hunters. To what extent do you attach importance? The hunter who mistakenly feels this feeling mostly dies or falls.

It's just that for Akira from Slam Street, her current lodging is luxurious enough. Everyday life has improved rather than roughness. Because of this, I did not take the latter lightly by putting money in my gear.

Elena's voice echoes from behind the store.

"Sizka! Hey, come here!

"Akira, wait a minute."

Sizka smiled (cheeks) with a little fun and meaning, then said so and headed to the back of the store.

As Akira waits with a slightly strange look, she hears Elena's hasty voice and Sizka's fun voice from behind the store.

"... Huh? Akira's here!?

"That's right. I promised you I'd show it when it arrived. Let's go."

"That would just have been Sizka saying it on her own!?

"Elena wouldn't have revoked it either, would she? Come on, let's go. It doesn't diminish when you're seen."

"Don't push it for a second......!?

Elena was pushed out of the back of the store by Sizka. The moment I see that Elena, Akira stiffens. Elena wore pretty thin fortified clothes.

Its reinforced garments are made of slightly glossy materials. The line of the body is so closely visible that the thickness of the material that separates the outside air from the body is also felt very thin. The decoration was about a few centimetres wide line running on the surface of the body, and the line was connected from the shoulder to the elbow to the fingertips, from the neck to the tip of the chest to the lower abdomen, from the hips to the knees to the ankles.

Looking at Elena's outfit, which makes it easy to imagine her uninterrupted appearance, Akira remembers Elena's nudity, reproduced from data previously left by Alpha in the information-gathering equipment. Elena's nudity, combined with clarity (at best) and luscious beauty, was very attractive and upset Akira just to remember.

Akira and Elena's eyes meet. Akira's agitation and lighting also passed on to Elena, who also dyed her face in a pearlescent colour with agitation.

Sizka, who keeps room for only one person, starts explaining her fortified clothes with a smile (cheeks) she enjoys.

"Elena is wearing B3CSD reinforced clothing. Unlike Akira's fortified clothing, it's a type of fortified clothing that doesn't have an auxiliary skeleton. It's a rash before it starts, but when it starts, it shrinks and sticks perfectly to your skin. Then it's as comfortable as if you're wearing nothing, and it won't inhibit the wearer's movement. Breathable enough to make you feel the wind touching your complexion. Of course, improving your physical abilities is ensured without any problems."

As Sizka explained, Elena remembered her bare skin feeling even when wearing fortified clothing. Thanks to the thermal retention function of the fortified clothes, I am not feeling the heat or cold, but because I am feeling the flow of air on my skin, if I do not visually confirm myself wearing the fortified clothes, I will likely be illusory when I am out naked.

Elena also knew beforehand that the clothes were prone to body lines, but she couldn't imagine the condition after wearing them because the fortified clothes before start-up were in a rather rash state, and she wore them as they were.

While Elena illuminates, sizzle a little bit.

"... Sizka, I don't know if this is a good idea."

There are hunters with high strength, but shame and illumination are stronger, so I can't feel anything like awesome according to my strength. Sizka argues without breaking her grin.

"If possible, I would like to use the protective clothing in use together. It is difficult to operate the information-gathering device because of the gloves that are used. I want to avoid restrictions on the information gathering equipment that can be used due to the shape of the reinforced clothing, etc. I want to wear it easily. Good stuff to work with information-gathering equipment. I want to increase the upper limit of physical enhancement and adjust the degree of enhancement a lot. After considering Elena's various requests, that fortified garment was chosen. Is it inconvenient?"

Elena gets stuck in words. I did just say it. All the slightly too convenient requests are reflected without problems. I can't complain there.

"... with the budget I presented, I don't think I can buy fortified clothing that meets the conditions?

Elena was forced to twist her objections. But Sizka answers softly.

"Sarah was generous enough to accommodate the extra budget for her valued partner. You have to thank me properly, right?

"... you mean that"

Elena is also very pleased with Sarah's financial assistance. That's for sure. But without that additional budget, Elena laughed bitterly, thinking she would never have worn this fortified garment.

Sizka, who was watching Elena for fun, suddenly talks to Akira.

"By the way, what does Akira think when she looks at Elena's fortified clothes?

Akira and Elena's eyes meet again. Akira answers as she blushes a little and looks away from Elena's body.

"... I suggest wearing something on top because it's too irritating"

Akira pretended to be as calm as possible, but it was quite impossible.

Elena realized by now that she should have worn the protective clothes she usually wore on top. I was in such a hurry that I didn't realize the extent of it.

Elena makes a dry laugh.

"... right! Well, bye!

Elena hastily pulled into the back of the store. Akira dropped Elena off in silence and Sizka dropped her off with a laugh.

Akira takes a deep breath once to calm down her feelings. If I hadn't settled down a little more, I wouldn't have been able to talk to Elena (decent) in person when she came back. Mouth a mild question to distract.

"... Mr. Sizka. Is there a lot of high-performance fortified clothing like that?

"No. That's not true. It's not a rare product, though. There's a certain demand."

Akira was surprised that Ning was in constant demand. Is there a lot of that hand product in fortified clothing for women? Wouldn't it bother you to buy it? Yes, I somehow wondered.

Sizka puts in a supplement with a laugh when she sees that mistake from Akira's unspeakable expression.

"It's not like I'm just going outside wearing that. Originally, it was an auxiliary fortified garment to equip with heavy-duty fortified garments that could not be worn if they were alive. To reduce the load when working with heavy reinforced clothing and to compensate for features that are difficult to add to the heavy reinforced clothing side. It's a product that's developed a lot from there. It can be used with protective clothing or underneath regular clothing to accommodate general usage. I'm wearing something similar downstairs. It's cheaper than Elena's fortified clothes."

"Is it Mr. Sizka, too?

"That's right. You can't carry heavy guns and ammunition without wearing them downstairs."

Sizka has always carried lightly guns and ammunition of considerable weight. I hadn't cared about Akira until now, but it was a convincing story to hear.

"If you ask me, that's true. I hauled it naturally, so I didn't notice."

"A lot of people don't realize that. He looks like a normal outfit at first glance, but he's actually wearing discreet fortified clothing down there. Some of them do. To keep your opponent alert. It's important to hunters to observe things like that. Be careful, Akira."

"Okay."

I still don't have enough knowledge or strength for myself. Akira felt so strongly.

I come back wearing the protective clothing that Elena normally uses on top of her earlier fortified clothes. That's where Akira and Elena's eyes meet. Akira and the others laughed lightly at each other to misdemonize things.

Akira switches topics to let the field air flow.

"Mr. Elena. Thank you for the information-gathering equipment the other day. I sat down. It's very useful and helpful."

Elena also senses Akira's intentions and gets on with the story.

"That's good. A comprehensive system of information-gathering equipment is better for beginners, after all. I'm talking about the fact that comprehensive system information-gathering equipment is getting pretty good lately, and I figured from now on, that's the main trend for information-gathering equipment..."

Akira and Elena continue to talk consciously so that they are not aware of each other. Sizka looked forward to it.

Akira is driving in the wilderness in a car borrowed from a renter.

"Alpha. How long will it take you to reach your destination?

"At this pace, it's about half an hour."

'Right.... So why is Alpha dressed like that?

Alpha, sitting in the passenger seat, was wearing maid clothes. Made for complete viewing purposes, discarded in a ditch such as practicality.

The elegant shiny black fabric is luxuriously used, reflecting a pure white apron above the black base. No skin exposure from neck to bottom. The long legs are securely covered with skirts to hide near the ankles. From the long sleeves, pure white handbags hide to the fingertips. There was a clear beauty there.

Alpha smiles a little glossy.

"Oh, is it also a dress of hope? If you have any clothes you want me to wear, why don't you tell me to get dressed?

'No, there's nothing like that. I just wondered what criteria you're choosing to wear because I feel like you're just wearing clothes that don't look like the wilderness'

"The criteria for my attire. I can tell you I've been thinking a lot, and I can tell you it's appropriate. '

"A lot......"

Akira remembered in her previous hunter operation that Alpha had changed to a swimsuit with a rather morbid (stiff) design. You look less exposed to skin than you look naked when you're in the bath with me. However, unlike in some sort of heartless state when bathing, even when in the wilderness in a normal mental state, I care somewhat about not being (still) in a bathing suit.

(... well, is it better than being able to lie down in a swimsuit)

I might change into a more distracting outfit if I pursue it poorly. That's what I thought. Akira stops listening any deeper and changes the subject.

"Not now, but was this a good car to rent? A wilderness spec vehicle for hunters would look good with a machine gun or something, but it doesn't come with this. No, I'm not gonna rent a car with a cannon either, but I think I should have given you some more money and borrowed a little better one '

The car Akira rented is the cheapest of the vehicles rented out by the rental store for hunters. There were also a few armed vehicles in the store that would have performed better if they had raised the price a little bit.

'This is good. Akira's Hunter Rank is now 20 for the reward of her previous request. I chose the most cost-effective car to rent in that rank. Sure, this car isn't armed, but the monster just needs Akira to take it down. Also to test the performance of the gun replaced with a modified part bought at Sizka's suggestion. Besides, the arming of the vehicle is basically operated by the control unit of the car, so you're not eligible for my support. You can't just take over the rental control unit, can you?

"Oh, you know what?"

"The control unit is also an information-gathering device lent by the hunter's office to measure the contents of the crusade. Akira won't be the prize neck if she sucks at something like that. Still, give it a try?

Alpha smiles like a prank. Akira answers with a little blue face.

"Definitely stop me."

"Okay."

Point Akira's slightly dissatisfied gaze at Alpha as she enjoys her reaction.

'What are you going to do if you say that and I tell you to give it a try without thinking about it?

"If Akira still says she'll do it after explaining the disadvantages that will result from doing it, then we'll do it, won't we? Even when I helped Elena and the others, I stopped once and ended up following Akira's will. Even at the time of the emergency request when a large number of monsters appeared from the ruins of Kuzhhara Street, I stopped and Akira tried to run and go alone, so I complied with Akira's will without manipulating the fortified clothes and forcing Akira to stop. I'm gonna respect Akira's will, aren't I? So think about Akira, too, okay?

"Ah, yes."

Akira returned a slightly stiff look, wishing she hadn't said anything extra, to Alpha, who had turned a powerful smile (cheeks) to her just in case.

Hurry ahead as you continue to chat. Akira had asked Alpha that she was a little concerned about the species in question.

Speaking of which, I'm getting a generic crusade request. That request, you don't have to defeat the monster. If you give me the enemy reaction data you collected, I'll get less, but I'll get a reward, right? It's a crusade request, why?

"They treat it as statistical information that examines the distribution of monsters, etc. If there was a place where the monsters reacted intensely in aggregate, I guess a full-scale crusade force would be sent. It is both reconnaissance and foe, but because there is no specific location specified, it is only included in the scope of the crusade request (Hanchi) for convenience. So there's almost no reward paid for just wandering around the city. On the contrary, if you go away, you'll be rewarded there."

Akira, who found the description a little interesting, speaks of light thoughts.

"So some hunters run off at great speeds without fighting monsters and even keep running in the wilderness?

I'm here.

There will be no such thing. Akira looks surprised when she thinks so and is lightly affirmed for what she said in a joke.

"... I'm here."

'They call me a runner or something. Run through the wilderness at high speeds, loaded with high-performance anti-foe devices in wilderness speed-specific vehicles. But it's dangerous if you don't have enough arms to shake off a monster. In some cases, you'll end up being chased by an awesome number of monsters while you're on the run. If you take the monsters back to the city, they'll crush every monster in the city's defense, so in that case, you'll die if you don't pull them off.'

"Is there such a hunter operation as well? Hunter's not the only one who collects artifacts and crusades monsters."

"I'm pretty sure collecting relics and crusading monsters are the basics of hunter operations. I'm just saying there are a lot of other ways to make money. Well, it doesn't really matter to Akira. What Akira needs is the strength of the basic person, the ability to explore the ruins."

To Alpha, who laughs as she expects, Akira also laughs and returns.

'I know. Wait until I have the strength to attack the ruins designated by Alpha. "

"Then let me show you what Akira is capable of in order to set the guidelines for future training."

Alpha laughed and pointed forward. A monster was running from the direction of the car's progress.

Akira stepped out of the car and set up an AAH assault gun at the monster. AAH assault guns already incorporate modified parts purchased in Sizka stores. Peek at the aimer and set your target. An aimer linked to the information-gathering equipment displayed the distance from the monster, as well as additional enemy reactions in the vicinity.

Akira is now without any Alpha support. How far can you go on your own? Asking herself yes, Akira carefully set her aim and pulled the trigger.

The bullet fired did not even plunder (scatter) the monster, but ran through the air slightly to the right of it.

"What a shame. Two meters to the right."

Alpha expanded Akira's vision to display its ballistics. And I had Akira check the results of the sniper before putting it right back on track.

Akira corrects the aiming and carefully targets the monster again. I pulled the trigger by securely securing the gun with reinforced clothing so that the aim wouldn't go off. The released bullet ran through the air to the left of the monster.

Now it's a meter to the left. Almost there. '

Akira took a slow, deep breath once to stay calm as her distance from the monster trying to eat and kill herself shrunk. Death approaches only for a frantic minute. The upset pushes itself into more distress. Akira understood that.

Aim well and snipe again, keeping calm and calm. The bullet that was fired gradually landed on the monster. But I didn't hit the weak spot, so it's far from fatal, and the monster is a little frightened and storming.

Snipe a few more times. It all landed on the monster once, but its progression cannot be stopped. The distance to the monster is already in danger.

Akira exhaled lightly and switched from sniping to shooting. A bullet is fired continuously in the target area. Bullets that have gained in power thanks to the modified parts they incorporate will land one on the monster after the other, compensating for some misalignment and other bullet counts. I'm no longer talking about how the weak spots are. With countless bullets all over his body, the monster was desperate shortly after fleeing.

If we had Alpha support, we would have knocked him down with the first shot. I mourn Akira's ability to think like that.

'I knew it wouldn't be that easy to hit. How can I guess like an alpha?

"My sniping is just the result of the implementation of high-quality ballistic calculations with enormous computational capabilities. So teaching Akira how to calculate that won't help Akira. Imagine the ballistic predictions displayed with my support and shoot. Be able to portray correct ballistic predictions on your own. Keep training until you can do that. Akira's strength is definitely on the rise. I guarantee that. So let's not rush it '

Akira believed the words of Alpha, who laughs and tells him so. If you doubt that, there's nothing more Akira can do.

'Okay. Well, if it's easy to hit, no one's gonna have a hard time.'

'That's what I'm talking about. Let's do our best in the tunnel'

Akira switched her mind and went back to the car and hurried ahead. Only a monster's body was left on the spot.
