Rebuild World

The next day, Akira came to the first floor of a building connected to the basement of the ruins of Kuzhara Street. This is the headquarters room that holds the hunters in the basement.

The ammunition Akira consumed yesterday for all that luxury was replenished at Sizka's store. When I visited Sizka's store to replenish it, Akira, who was supposed to have bought so much CWH Object Assault Gun specialized ammunition, soon came back to replenish the large quantity of specialized ammunition, which made Sizka quite worried.

Akira reassured Sizka by explaining that it was because she continued to unilaterally attack from a distance. Mass consumption of specialized ammunition is the result of Ning's attempts to fight safely. That's how I explained it and managed to convince Sizka.

I didn't lie. Strongly put, it was just so dangerous that I couldn't fight it safely without that much.

Sizka showed herself to something, but did nothing more than smile (ho ho) at Akira so she could come home safely without being forced. Don't go, because you can't say.

Enter a room in the building where Akira is used as the headquarters for this request. Then the headquarters staff immediately noticed Akira. It's an official who placed Akira at Defense Point 14 yesterday.

"Number 27, are you here? Choose between exploring or crusading."

Akira questions the official's words. Yesterday it was either defense or exploration. I was out of defense from a choice.

"Don't you have a defense? Hopefully, we'll have the same defense as yesterday."

"No. Either an exploration or a crusade. You can't choose defense. Your work yesterday was evaluated. At the defensive point, it was determined that there was no body (or body) to be used as a guide to Yamako. Good for you. Evaluated?

"... No, I think if you want to evaluate that, you should evaluate it as a defenseman."

"I don't know. It was the people above who made the decision. It's no use telling me. Give up and choose one.... Oh, the dangers are both similar and closing in. It doesn't make a big difference."

Akira worries. Crusade teams are better off if you don't like to proceed with vigilance over unknown places. If you don't like to go into the Yarata Sasori nest, which is sure to have tons of Yarata Sasori, the exploration team is better.

Alpha adds judgment material to Akira, who is likely to continue to worry forever when left alone.

"Exploration teams can avoid battle depending on the enemy. But you might be forced to fight unexpectedly. A crusade team should have enough power to engage. But there must be a battle for sure. Because it's a crusade team for that. If you want to deal with a battle like yesterday in large numbers and in a stable way, you might as well have a crusade team. '

Akira gives the answer and tells the staff.

"Explore, please"

"Okay.... good. I set it up. Follow the terminal instructions to Defense Point 19 and follow the on-the-spot instructions."

"Okay."

Akira begins moving to Defense Point 19. An official looked at Akira walking away with a subtle look.

Squirting (crushing) while an official looks at Akira's information displayed on the device at hand.

"... nominee, Kibayashi. Ammunition Cost Guarantee Conditions Permitter, Kibayashi. Placement Supervisor, Kibayashi.... This would definitely be that kibble. I mean, it was that Kibayashi who sent that kid here. I didn't know that reckless lover liked me. Is that kid lucky or bad too..."

Kibayashi is a member of the Hunter's Office and a member of the Kugamayama City staff. And he also has the authority to pinch his mouth on this underground related request. In Kibayashi, which had previously been associated with Akira, there existed a bad reputation known there.

Run through and live, run through and die. Kibayashi prefers that other person's life, and thinks that hunter operation is what makes that life shine. And that bad reputation is the help of that living person who is aggressive towards the hunters he likes.

Smoking (dull) is not an opportunity, although it is strong. So I want an opportunity for a one-shot reversal out of the status quo. If Kibayashi finds such a hunter, it offers a high risk high return opportunity as a delight. Big win or big loss. attractive and reckless opportunities that only one of them gets.

And the hunter who gets that chance from Kibayashi dies with some exceptions. Hunters overflowing with talent who will soon grow up will also rush through glory to live and die for further glory.

"Should I be happy to have a chance to bet? Should I mourn that I didn't have to die if I didn't even get that chance? Which will that kid be? Betting and all that makes it easier to lose."

Officials grumbled with a slightly pitiful look.

Alpha asks Akira as she travels the underground.

"Akira, may I ask why you chose the exploration team? If you're gonna avoid an unexpected battle like yesterday, you think a crusade team would be better off?

'Instead, it consumes a large quantity of dedicated ammunition for CWH objective assault guns. I want to keep consumption down if possible. Besides, if you join the crusade team and something happens again and they appreciate that poorly, you might be going to fight monsters all the time who can't fight straight (decent) without using the CWH Object Assault Gun's dedicated ammo. I don't like that.'

Alpha stares at Akira for answering that.

Answer as Akira excuses somehow.

'What is it? Sure, you might gain a lot of combat experience by joining a crusade team, but if you die with that, you won't have an ex or a kid.'

"Buying expensive dedicated ammunition in large quantities at Sizka stores can contribute to the sales of Sizka stores. But it only makes me worry about Sizka for what I bought in bulk. You prioritized the latter, didn't you?

Akira did not answer silently. Alpha continues.

'I'm not blaming you for that choice. But as far as I'm concerned, I suggest Akira acquires the strength to get better gear and kick it off lightly to the point of a flock of yarata sawdust, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all.'

…… Right. "

Akira answered a little unfathomably short.

Akira arrived at Defense Point 19, which was set up in the grand hall of the underground street. It is a simple base for controlling uninvestigated parts of the perimeter.

Numerous hunters are deployed at Defense Point 19 to defend key bases. It also serves as a resting place for exploration and crusade teams. As a result, the place is quite busy.

In the middle of the hall were armed officials of the city who were directing the scene. As Akira follows the terminal's instructions there, an administrator-like official immediately notices Akira and speaks up.

"That's number 27. The expedition team you're joining is now exploring the underground. Wait for me until I get back. If you don't get out of this square, you can do whatever you want. If you're free, stay on guard. If there's a Yarata Sasori at last, get rid of it."

Copy that.

Akira walked away looking for a place that was suitably empty (ah).

Officials contact the exploration team.

"This is Defense Point 19. Ninth Exploration Team. Respond."

A woman's voice comes from the staff member's terminal.

"This is the Ninth Exploration Team. That's too early for regular contact. Is something wrong?

"The additional personnel you hoped for arrived. Come back and join me once you need me."

Request for additional personnel is added by the voice of a man from the terminal.

"I guess it's the one you can use, huh? Enemy personnel are sufficient. All we need is fire, okay?

"Don't choose. Well, that's the one who defeated quite a few Yarata sasoris yesterday. You'll be fine. If you don't like it, take the ones before you. I'm guessing you didn't like it, so I arranged for another personnel."

Answer the earlier man in dislike.

"If you want to take them, you better not be there."

An earlier woman speaks to an official.

"I'll go back for once. Prepare to receive the collected data. That's it."

Communication between the staff and the Ninth Exploration Team expires. An official gives instructions to a subordinate.

"The Ninth Exploration Team will be back. Prepare to send acquisition data to headquarters. Tell them to only receive data, even if the previous data conversion has not been completed."

Copy that, sir.

A staff member salutes and leaves to prepare. (Sniffles) A staff member whines as he looks at the device at hand.

"... well, you'll be fine. I'm pretty sure he had a history yesterday."

Akira's information was displayed on the employee's terminal. It was the Kibayashi name listed there that made the official's expression slightly more offensive.

That Akira didn't look too strong. And the one who recommended that Akira to this request is Kibayashi, who recommends hunters to make reckless attempts. Those made Akira greatly doubt her strength, but officials decided to believe Akira's war history yesterday.

Akira is checking the perimeter of the defense point.

The passage in the direction Akira came this far is illuminated by strong lighting. Other than that, it's dark. The darkness of an underground city without a light source continues everywhere. I simply didn't know if there was enough lighting to install, or if I dared not (ah) install lighting because I hadn't done my research and eliminating Yarata sasori.

As Akira looked at the hunters around her, she noticed a mix of faces she found out among the hunters who were guarding and resting. Those are the rashes.

"Were those guys deployed here too?"

'Sounds like it. Let's get away from them more than we know.'

"Why?

'Cause if you get close to Akira, you'll rub it.'

"... Roger that."

Akira, who cannot deny Alpha's words, followed the advice and moved opposite the Katsuya and the others. And kept guarding the area for a while.

The minimum elapsed time of the request has not passed without any incident? When Akira is thinking of something convenient, there is a voice calling Akira from behind.

"Akira."

As Akira turned to her voice, she was smiling and waving gently as Sarah approached Akira.

Akira goes to Sarah's place and meets gently.

"Was Sarah and the others taking this request, too?

"That's right. Technically, I was contracting security around the makeshift base, but it was quickly turned to the underground area. And I didn't know the additional personnel were Akira. I'm a little surprised."

"Is that me? That means I'm part of an exploratory team..."

"That sort of thing. It's a team with me and Elena. The leader is Elena. Come here."

Akira is taken by Sarah to the center of the Great Hall. There was an image of Elena in addition to the city officials. Elena also immediately noticed Akira and waved lightly at Akira as she approached her.

"Welcome to the Ninth Exploration Team. I'm Elena, the team leader."

"My name is Akira. Thank you for your patience today."

Elena said jokingly, and Akira replied with respect to the condition (on purpose). And the two of us blew it out gently.

"But I didn't think the additional personnel were Akira. I'm going to follow up as much as I can, but be careful because it's pretty dangerous. It's a survey of the uninvestigated parts, so it's obvious, but we don't know exactly what the monster distribution is. No matter what, it's no wonder. Be very careful with that mindset."

"Okay. I'll be very careful not to pull Elena's legs."

"It's appropriate. That's a good idea.... don't hesitate to rely on me in times of danger. If anything happens to Akira, Sizka will grieve too."

"Yes, then please"

Elena smiles with satisfaction at Akira's reply. Akira is flat with no bad feelings or nervousness. This will be fine. That's what Elena decided.

Elena was in the process of receiving and handing over the data collected during her exploration. We're transferring data to city officials via an information terminal.

Although some of the data was collected by terminals distributed from cities, most (mostly) were collected with information gathering devices equipped by Elena.

The accuracy of the data Elena has acquired with her information-gathering equipment is precise out of step with the data collected on the city's terminals. However, since Elena's data differs from the data format of the city terminal, the data must be converted for the city to use Elena's data (in order to). I would not use different standards of data to save time on data conversion.

However, the data Elena collected on her equipment was used in a separate frame, from its usefulness to the labor of data conversion specifically.

Akira, lightly explained by Elena, shares her honest thoughts with Elena.

"Is that data that will be treated as special? I knew Elena was amazing."

Akira honestly praises me to show how Elena lit up a little. I don't feel bad about Elena being praised either. Elena tells Akira with a little pride.

"I'm glad you understand. Many hunters don't understand the importance of gathering information, do they? All you have to do is neglect your opponents and defeat them if you encounter a monster. The interior of the ruins is a little complicated, but I won't get lost, and I can get out of here as soon as I can. There are quite a few hunters entering the ruins with that shallow mind."

Akira speaks a little unexpectedly.

"Really? I'd avoid fighting monsters as much as I can, and I'm sorry to get lost in the ruins. I can't believe I underestimated Elena's work..."

While the standard for good hunters varies from person to person, many prioritize the assessment of combat ability to easily (easily) destroy powerful monsters. It is true that fighting ability is important in keeping hunters up and running, because it is easy to understand when listening to others.

It can sometimes lead to thoughts that belittle hunters who are not direct fire personnel. Elena has been through this many times in the past, and she's had a lot of bad feelings.

When I was looking for relics at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street, Akira was like surviving only with Alpha's grasp of enemy and geography. That's why Akira understood the importance of Elena's work.

Elena felt that Akira was sincerely acknowledging the importance of her role in her work, and was quite pleased inside. Elena talks in a slightly better mood.

"That's surprisingly a lot. And only for that kind of thing, I ran into a monster, engaged him, lured another monster over with a belligerent sound, consumed a pile of ammunition, got weak and ran away, got lost in the ruins because I was in a hurry, wasted time searching for artifacts and spare ammunition, to name a few, because you don't do a proper structural survey of the ruins with your enemies? Good annoyance."

Elena realizes herself that she's going to continue her stupidity like this. It wouldn't be fun to keep telling Akira about her stupidity if she was listening. Think about it that way and change the direction of the story a little bit.

"Let me tell you something, surely our firepower personnel are Sarah, but even I can fight that much? Information-gathering equipment can also help improve targeting accuracy. Plus, I've been wearing fortified clothing for a long time, so I can afford a lot of heavy gear. I don't want you to think I'm worried about firepower because I'm an informant."

"Speaking of which, Elena has been wearing fortified clothes for a long time..."

"The weight of the information-gathering equipment makes it a lighter gun than Sarah's gear, but still powerful enough..."

When Elena's fortified clothes appeared in the story, Akira remembered what Elena had seen in Sizka's shop before.

Elena in her fortified clothes. Elena was wearing fortified clothing that closely adhered to her skin and strongly raised attractive body lines. Elena was in a rush as she dyed her cheeks, dressed in seductive (frightening) outfits.

Akira also remembered to accompany it. It is the naked figure of Elena, a very high reproduction rate created by Alpha's advanced arithmetic abilities. And that's Sarah's naked appearance, which was displayed with Elena, and because they were both very attractive, Akira had a strong memory of that time in her brain.

Yummy (first), the sight was already floating behind Akira's brain when I thought. Akira hastily shook the sight off her head, but she couldn't completely shake it off until the upset caused by remembering it.

Elena quickly realized from the subject and Akira's attitude that Akira had remembered her outfit she had shown before. Seeing Akira's attitude as she tries to remain calm, Elena also tries to remain calm. But Elena couldn't completely erase the upset either.

Akira and Elena stop the conversation and laugh lightly at each other to misdemonize (sesame seeds). Sarah was laughing with pleasure when she saw those two. Because Sarah heard from Sizka and knew what was going on with the two of them. Sarah looked forward to seeing her best friend show a rare attitude, thinking it was bad.

I didn't even know Sarah was naked in Akira's brain.

Akira changes the subject a little forcefully to change the air on the field.

"Speaking of which, how many exploration teams will Elena and the others have?

Elena rides Akira's invitation and switches her mind and answers.

Four, including Akira.

"Four? Uh, I don't feel very good about it, but is that how many people are normal? I think it would be nice to have a little more."

Yesterday Akira became the feather of engaging a flock of Yarata sasoris with just three of the Rainas. As for Akira, it feels like she managed to survive a critical situation.

There is a nest of yaratasoli in the uninvestigated part of the underground. Though the investigation was the main mission exploration team, I felt Akira had four fewer. Of course (of course), Elena and the others could be perfectly fine. But not a convincing number of people without explanation.

Elena and Sarah look at each other with a slight frown when they hear Akira's question. It doesn't seem like an overly pleasant topic.

Sarah answers Akira's question.

"I was actually planning on exploring with a little more people. Just a little bit."

"Is something wrong?

Elena answers Akira asking back.

"I had a bit of a problem with the personnel compatibility. I know it's a common story, but I wanted you to make some adjustments in advance."

Akira sees the look on their faces. Akira seemed to have a slightly different attitude from Sarah and Elena to the problem. What we see as a problem is that Sarah is against the individual and Elena against the group.

The last one on the exploration team joins the story.

"Sorry about that. I'll tell you what the problem with staffing is."

The last person on the expedition team is Shikarabe. A hunter belonging to the same Drancam as the Katsuya and others, he was previously a director of Katsuya and the others. However, Shikarabe had already stepped down from that role and had acted separately from the Katsuya and the others.

Shikarabe tells Akira.

"I'm a shikarabe. It's one of the Ninth Exploration Team. You're the hunter for the additional personnel, aren't you?

"I say Akira. Thank you for your patience today."

Seeing as Sikarabe deserves Akira.

"Additional personnel are welcome, but I have trouble with more foot wraps. Are you okay with this?

Akira answers flatly to Shikarabe, who speaks provocatively at any rate.

"Tell HQ, not me, to complain if you decide I'm useless. You sent me here to headquarters. Complain plenty to HQ and count on the strength of the new replacement personnel."

In response to Shikarabe's obvious concern about Akira's lack of strength, Akira replied that the person who sent herself was bad.

Akira was better off on the defense team in the first place. Akira didn't even intend to hear human complaints about sending a hunter who lacked strength to the exploration team.

Akira's reply was the opposite of Sikarabe's expectations. Speak confidently of your strength. or dissatisfied with being questioned of his or her abilities. Sikarabe expected such a content.

But I see no dissatisfaction with Shikarabe's low estimate of Akira's abilities due to Akira's attitude. Sikarabe was a little surprised by that.

Shikarabe asks, hiding that surprise, somewhere giving the feeling of looking down at Akira.

"That's a rather weak statement. You're not so sure of your strength?

Akira answers flatly.

"I don't know how strong you expect me to be, but at least I know that I'm not as strong as I can say something like that, like I'm sure I'll do something about it, or if I'm there, I'll be fine. I'm not sure that's what you mean."

Shikarabe gently blew out when she heard Akira's reply. And talk in a bit of a good mood.

"No, I'm sorry. I often deal with fools who are overwhelmed with baseless confidence. At least it seems assured that you're not such an idiot. Then you'll be fine. HQ wouldn't be dumb enough to send someone here with uncertain strengths."

Sikarabe said so and apologized to Akira along with mild stupidity.

"I'm ready for you. You can always tell me if you want to leave."

Elena confirms the time remaining for data transfer on her information terminal. Elena's information terminal displays the status of data transfer. The predicted time to complete transmission of all data was also displayed there.

"We'll leave as soon as we've received the data. We're about five minutes away. Is that okay with Akira?

"It's okay. I don't mind right now....... hmm?

Alpha is pointing his finger. Akira realizes it and looks in that direction. There were Katsuya and the others walking toward Akira and the others, spearheaded by Katsuya, who had an unsatisfactory look on his face.
