Rebuild World

Kibayashi finished explaining a brief change in this case to Akira. Yo (more) didn't even tell you everything back there. I had omitted what I could not tell outsiders even if it was an overview.

"Well, here's the overview. If you want to hear more about it, I can talk about it, but in that case, it doesn't make sense to just (just). Anyway, it's inside information on the city side. The corresponding amount of money is multiplied. What do we do?"

"No, enough"

That's what Akira said and said no. Because I could hear enough information I wanted to know.

Akira doesn't care much about the city side trying to bend the facts somewhat. It's basically because we're talking about a world that has nothing to do with Akira.

Akira lived in the slums of the lower divisions of Kugamayama City until a short while ago. We are not talking about a world in which Akira is involved, such as stories involving the whole Kugamayama city, other cities, the Unified Enterprise Union, etc. At least not unless it's harmful to Akira.

"Right. Anything else you'd like to hear or additional requests? Just say it on this occasion. It's too late to say later. It's out when either me or you get out of this room. Yeah, there's no reward increase. Even the city side doesn't have endless amounts of money. If you're dissatisfied with your forehead, you should have negotiated before signing. Conversely, if it's not golden, I'll make it easier for you. I like you. Let's do it."

What Kibayashi is saying is true. Kibayashi really likes Akira. On the contrary, Akira doesn't know why.

"What did you like so much about me?

Kibayashi tells the reason with great pleasure.

"Where? It's alive! Impossible. Reckless! Run through and live, run through and die! Really good! I'm also a Hunter Office employee, so I can view Hunter's information to some extent. And the information he keeps private. I see your activity history, huh? Fight Cannon Insect with an armed force of about AAH assault guns. He enters and comes out alone in a building with a flock of yarata sasoris. The number of Yarata sasori crusades in the underground is estimated at over 500. Defeat three key members of the artifact robber by one. Besides, I'm dealing with combat fighters and heavy reinforcement clothes. It's not the track record of a hunter with a rank of 20, but 30 won't do it. Well, because of that impossibility, my body seemed to be in a mess, but I'm glad it's healed this time. At this rate, I'm sure I'll be worn out again soon."

Ask Akira with a slightly unpleasant look.

"... was my body that harsh?

"Oh. That's why it cost me 60 million aurums for treatment. Told you? The cost of treatment is legitimate. Some of the treatments were regenerative treatments, and I hear you used a cure for losing a thousand legs on your arm. Without this treatment, well, I'm not going to die today or tomorrow, but if I'm bad, I'm talking about not having it for another year. Thanks to this treatment, you're healthy as a median resident now, right?

Akira was stunned when she heard Kibayashi explain. Keep explaining as Kibayashi laughs.

"You're feeling really good right now, aren't you? That's because of the treatment. You're from Slam Street, aren't you? Most of the meals would have been handed out by the city at the distribution center, wouldn't they? That, if you're unlucky, you'll be feathers eating pretty bad stuff. It could be meat from a monster whose safety has not been confirmed, or food created by a food production apparatus that has no idea what the relics, principles or methods of making of the old world are under study. You won't be handing out anything that dies as soon as you eat boulder, but it can be harmful if you consume it in large quantities for a long time. There may even be a slight mutation. It is said that this is due to nanomachines that could not be removed from the meat of the monster or which cannot be detected by current technology contained in foods produced with suspicious food production equipment. Actually, aren't you conscious?

Akira smiled slightly. If you ask me if I am conscious, Akira is conscious.

Akira is an old realm connector. I guess that's a kind of mutation. It's a mutation that cannot be detected by current technology. That's partly because Akira met Alpha, but it's not a happy story to let go.

"... are cities distributing such food?"

"It's just that there's nothing higher. The cost of food has been offset against the cost of cooperation in the study. Thank you for your cooperation. Actually, it's sneaking up on the billboards at the place of distribution and the packaging of the food, huh? Well, the majority of the ones who can read that won't go there, and the ones who know will shut up because they'll be in trouble if they make a loud noise and run out of rations. Some good guys distribute decent ones, but not that many. Besides, that kind of information goes out right away, and the powerful people in Slam Street or something take possession of it. Well, that's a slum street order thing. I don't care if you complain to me."

The urban side is basically non-intervention in the order of slums. It basically leaves it unattended unless it adversely affects the activities of the city as a whole. It may be said that the security of the slums is left to the autonomy of those who live there.

Slam Street is also judged to be a place in front of the wilderness in the lower sections of the city. That's why robbers attack Akira in broad daylight. Because even if the robber kills Akira, there's no one to catch the robber. Likewise, even if Akira returns the robbery and kills them all, there is no one to catch Akira. Unless it's also a back shield to that robbery.

Then that's different if you say the slam is completely lawless. If power is everything, the most powerful person in the east is the Unified Enterprise Union, and if it's a slum with Akira and the others, it's a Kugamayama city. And both the Unified Enterprise and the cities hate the deterioration of security. If the security of Slam Street deteriorates and it is judged to be harmful simply because it exists on the city side, the Slam Street will be wiped out by the residents.

That's why Slam Street is policed in critical conditions. That is also why many of the inmates present in Slam Street are engaged in territorial security activities.

"I don't know if that food caused it, but the numbers on the residual nanomachine seem to have been harsh, too? Hunter's drugged is like a kind of occupational disease, but you, you've been using healing pills and stuff."

"Oh. If you don't use it, you'll die."

"We're going to use it a lot anyway. You should check on the first of the month and get rid of the residual nanomachine. Medicines for hunters contain mostly nanomachines. You know, healing pills, accelerators, fortifiers, that's a lot of stuff already in there."

"When you stay, are you that creepy (first)?

"There are exceptions, depending on the degree, depending on the type, but basically the residue is in front of the contamination. It's basically harmful."

Kibayashi explains the danger to Akira.

If the nanomachine is significantly compatible with the person, the nanomachine may settle on the body with a rare (rare) almost permanent beneficial effect. That's called adaptation. Conversely, settling on the body while maintaining harmful effects is called contamination.

With the nanomachine already out of function, it may remain in the body without being drained out of the body well (well). It's harmless if it's out of function and has no effect. Some hunters mistake it for that, but in practice it often inhibits the effects of newly ingested medicines.

More medicines will be used because the effects of the medication have dropped, resulting in a vicious cycle of increased residual volume. You may end up losing the effect of the medicine at all. It may even react with other nanomachines that should not be used at the same time, causing severe (severe) adverse effects.

Since working as a hunter, Akira has continued to use large quantities of recovery drugs. I continued to use it without observing the usage standards at all. Without knowing it, it was on Akira's body.

Kibayashi advises Akira. I still want Akira to enjoy it. Sincerely advise from such feelings.

"Hunters have a body as their basic business. Seriously, I can't do it on my own, so some people put my body behind me. If you want to extend your life, make sure your body is well maintained. Same as gun maintenance. If you skip care, the bullet will fly in the direction of the day after tomorrow (the day after tomorrow), or it could go wild. Every time I pull the trigger, I get the wings to gamble about whether or not the gun blows up. I'm not funny either when such crap is your cause of death. Be careful."

"I get it....... hmm? Guns?"

Akira noticed something there about her equipment. Akira doesn't have anything right now. The clothes you are wearing are not fortified clothes, but hospital patient clothes.

Akira looks over the room again, but it didn't look like she had Akira's personal belongings indoors. Akira asks Kibayashi.

"What about my gear?

Kibayashi doesn't know where Akira's gear is either. Kibayashi gets in touch with other officials on the information terminal and does a lot of research. The result was enough to embarrass Akira.

"... no?

"Oh. Your possession is zero, not gear. I didn't retrieve everything from where I took you, and the equipment I retrieved, your fortified clothes, they broke down over the course of a lot of research to wash your identity, and now they're evidence storage. It's possible to pick it up, but it'll take at least a month for the process, and first of all, it's no longer worn out and it doesn't mean anything other than souvenirs."

"You didn't even have my hunter's card or anything?

"I don't know. Either it wasn't recovered, or it's in the storage area of the evidence. Either way, it's quicker to reissue it, right?

"Okay. Additional requests. Request a reissue of the hunter's card, a ready-to-use information terminal, and then appropriate clothing for the hunter. This outfit makes you a patient who ran away from the hospital."

"Got it. I'll have it delivered here later. Anything else?

Akira confirms to Alpha.

"Alpha. Anything else?

"Don't you ask for guns, fortified clothes and other equipment?

"I would like to buy the equipment at Mr. Sizka's store if possible. Somehow. '

We know that Akira is simply responsible for testing Alpha. But if that meant something to Akira, I didn't feel like changing it badly.

Akira will proceed unarmed on the journey from the hospital to the Sizka store, but Alpha decided she would have no problem if she supported herself well. If you even have to look at that extent as a problem, Akira can no longer even walk outside.

'Then let me also introduce you to rental properties for hunters. It's time for Akira to get out of her inn life. "

Akira agrees and tells Kibayashi.

"Introduce me to rentals for hunters. My Hunter Rank makes it subtle if I can rent a real (decent) house. Make sure you can rent a good house for cheap. Later, yeah, pay me the reward right away. So I'll buy some gear and stuff again. That's about all the extra requests."

"Okay. Yeah, the rewards have already been transferred to your account. Check the hunter ID and information terminal when they get here. Keep my contact information on the information terminal with default settings just in case. For rental properties, keep in touch with the city's umbrella real estate agents. I'll send the details to the hunter code, so check back later when the information terminal arrives. Anything else? If there's no more, I'm out, okay? Once I'm out of the room, I'm done with any additional requests. Are you sure you're all right?

"Oh."

"Right. Be well, then. Have a good hunt. Do something reckless again and entertain me."

Kibayashi gently waved out of the room.

A few minutes after Kibayashi leaves the room, Akira learns a strong hunger, and Akira hasn't eaten anything in about a week. During treatment, she was probably replenishing her nutrition with infusions, etc.

When you become hungry, suddenly Akira's belly starts ringing. But Akira doesn't have any money in hand right now. Even if there is, I have to stay here until I receive a hunter's card or something. Akira regretted not ordering Kibayashi to eat.

'... Shit. I should have ordered something to eat'

'Speaking of which, Akira hasn't eaten anything in about a week, has she? I didn't realize that.'

"You didn't even notice Alpha?

'I don't need a meal for me, and I was wondering if Akira would be okay because she wouldn't say anything. I don't even know Akira's hunger. Let's give up and wait. Maybe he'll be here any minute. "

'... oh, I also asked when the stuff I asked for would come. You realize this when you're gone.'

"That's what it is."

Akira kept waiting in her room for what she asked for to come as she endured her hunger. It wasn't until an hour later that city officials brought them.

Sizka had her store number as usual in her own store.

Sizka lives the usual days selling products purchased from hunters seeking equipment and ammunition to earn a living. However, Sizka realized that she had more of her own hoarding breath than usual. And I also realized why. Because Akira hasn't shown her face at Sizka's for about a week.

It's happened before that Akira simply wouldn't show her face to Sizka's store for about a week. But now it's after Akira went out to crusade the Yarata Sasori's nest.

Sizka's shop thrives there. Many regular hunters go to the wilderness looking up their gear at the Sizka store. Sizka also has numerous experiences of hunters not returning alive wearing the equipment they sold.

I've sold my weapon a few times and got a little familiar with it. Some people got along pretty well after consulting on equipment and teaching them recommended weapons. There are even those who dictated Sizka and applied for marriage. Various hunters went to the wilderness in search of gold and glory, and were drunk by the wilderness and died. Sizka remembers that.

Sizka intentionally avoided caring about those deaths for business reasons and her own mental health. We do business with people who have no wonder when they die. It's not going to be very commercial if you care about all those deaths. I feel sad for a moment, but Sizka rarely lacks peace. Until then, if you call it ruthless, Sizka was a person who could take them.

That's why it's unusual for her to get more sizzling because of the extent to which regular hunters don't show their faces to the store for the time being.

(... that's a little too much in there. Why?

Sizka conceives as she continues with her store number. I can think of many reasons. Maybe Akira was inspired by her desire for asylum because she was a child. Maybe he's grateful because Akira saved the lives of his friends, Elena and Sarah. Maybe it's because I saw Akira's scratchy body nearby. Probably because he wrapped himself in the equipment he sold and held a child heading into the wilderness. But none of them are conclusive reasons.

Sizka's thought, which seemed to fall into thinkers as much as she kept thinking, was interrupted because the one who caused it appeared. Akira comes into Sizka's store somewhere surprised.

"There you are, Akira. Long time no see."

"Oh, yes. Long time no see."

Sizka smiled (cheeks) as usual and welcomed Akira in the same tone as usual. At least Sizka herself was meant to be.

But Akira answered with a slight barometric pressure to Shizuka's smile.

Sizka starts customer service as usual, although she is surprised (a lot) by Akira's attitude.

"Ammunition refills again today? Is the request Akira received before still going on? I still can sell the CWH Objective Assault Gun's special ammunition because I've purchased enough, but I'm sure I've already finished my previous requests over the period, right?

"Ah, yes. I'm done with the request."

"Yes, I wonder if that would be a good idea with the usual assortment of ammunition and armor rounds."

"Uh, so, actually, the..."

Akira said. Sizka looks at Akira wonderfully.

Akira meets Sizka's eyes, removes them once, meets her eyes again, and then speaks ready.

"... I lost all of my gear, so could you give me a quote?

Sizka asks back with a strange look.

"All of it, what exactly did you lose?

"All the guns, the fortified clothes I was wearing, the rucksacks by contents, the information terminals I was using, the information gathering equipment Elena gave me, and everything anyway. My possessions right now are about the clothes I'm wearing, my information device and my hunter's ID."

Sizka is surprised to hear Akira explain. Sizka also knows that Akira spends the majority of her earnings on her own gear. I mean, for Sizka, it's equal to saying Akira lost a large part of her own fortune.

"... hey, what the hell happened?

"Well, there's a lot going on. So, could you please quote me?

"I don't mind that......, what's the budget?

Sizka thinks Akira has lost much of her fortune. Sizka doesn't feel sorry for Akira either, which is why she can't offer the product to Akira for free. I can't even screw up the price. Sizka also has a life, and it's business. There are lines that Sizka can't even give way to.

Let's at least recommend the best equipment on a small budget. Sizka asked Akira about her budget with that in mind. So Akira's next statement was enough to stun Sizka.

"Within 80 million aurum, please"

"... I'm sorry. To prevent my mistakes and mishearings, just in case, again, could I ask you about your budget?

"Within 80 million aurum, sir."

Sizka confirmed that the amount Akira said was not a mistake or mistake of her own. Sizka's face gets rough. It's not the amount a rookie hunter can give out. Even skilled hunters have a hard time offering instant money.

Sizka stares at Akira. Keep your eyes peeled with Sizka as Akira wanders a little. Sizka asks Akira in a strong tone.

"Akira. What the hell happened to you? Akira can tell that the amount I just said isn't a normal amount, right? It's strange as a reward for a previous request. Even if you defeat a bunch of Yarata sarcophagus, the reward should be lower than paying for the ammunition being the source of the request? What kind of impotence can I get paid to cover my 80 million aurum budget?

The strength of Sizka's tone is a sign of concern for Akira. Akira answers with a sad look, even though she is happy about it.

"Excuse me. I can't tell you what's going on around here because of my confidentiality with the client. I can't even speak to Mr Sizka because it involves future credibility. It's not that I don't trust Mr. Sizka, because it's basically a contract that I can't talk about anything. It's pretty subtle to talk about the fact that we can't talk confidentially..."

Akira believes that if it were meant to be, we should explain that nothing happened. But Akira decided that it would be better to explain that she couldn't speak with confidentiality than to tell a story that she knew was a lie.

Sizka conceives as she stares at Akira, who seems to have a bad one.

(... Akira's client is referring to Kugamayama City, right? Probably did something quite impossible again, but it's bad for Akira to hear from the city side that she's being stopped. You don't look traumatized, you don't look pale. Honestly, I care about the details, but in the end, we're just talking about Akira making a successful request and getting a lot of money. I honestly can't praise that because I think Akira is going to be able to do it even more if I praise her...)

"... You said there was a lot going on, but no after-effects of the injury (injury)?

Akira answers clearly.

"That's okay. I've had a lot of treatments, so Ning is feeling better than before the request."

Sizka was relieved. I guess Akira has a lot of situations too. But still, it doesn't make any difference that Akira is safe.

Sizka talks to Akira with her usual smile.

"Okay. It's up to me to decide what's in the budget for all the gear you can have, right? Your forehead is your forehead, and you can really decide what you want, okay? You don't know if you regret it, do you?

Sizka laughed a little pranky (naughty) when she said so. Akira answers with a laugh.

"It's okay. Because it would definitely be a better choice than I would worry about and decide. Strongly speaking, fortified clothing is a good product to use even if you change your physique slightly. I want to buy it again in a few years."

"Okay. It's too late. Okay, hold on a second."

Sizka said so and disappeared into the back of the store, returning with two (a) guns.

"Use this until new fortified clothes arrive. These two (today) AAH assault guns and A2D assault guns are recommended for biological use. Do you want to hear A2D's description of the AAH assault gun as a discount?

"Please"

Sizka, who had anticipated Akira's response from the beginning, began to seem to enjoy explaining the recommended A2D assault gun as usual.

A2D assault guns are guns designed and manufactured based on the basic design of AAH assault guns with the goal of increasing power and hitting accuracy. Unlike AAH assault guns, the strength of each component is adjusted so that armoured rounds and heavy loads can be used without modification.

A projectile launcher is also equipped at the design stage, and various types of projectiles can be used. The weight is also held down to the extent that biological hunters who do not wear fortified clothing, etc., and is widely used as the next gun to be used in AAH assault guns. Sometimes some of the modified parts for AAH assault guns are available as is, making them user-friendly.

"They're both untouched. Try the comfort of using it temporarily without fortified clothing. If you are unhappy with the weight, you should refrain from modifying it to increase the weight. Even after purchasing fortified clothing, you need a gun that can be used without physical strengthening. When the fortified clothes break in the back of the ruins, it's a big deal to have only guns that you can't use if you're alive."

"Should I change the aimer now?

"If you intend to interact with information-gathering equipment as before, you should do so after purchasing it. Normally used bare-eyed standard aimers are not that under-performing. I'm going to include the information-gathering equipment in a set of gear that I can (about to) have, and I'm going to have the aimer ready to go with it. Or do you want to choose your own information-gathering equipment?

"No, please."

"Okay. I'll get back to you as soon as I can get a quote. Wait a minute. It should arrive about two weeks later."

Akira will return to life without fortified clothing until the product arrives. Alpha pushes Akira just in case.

'I know you do, but hunter operations are closed until new equipment arrives, right?

'I know. You're not gonna underestimate my bad luck, are you? I don't want to fight a bunch of monsters and heavy-duty boosters in this state. "

If you go outside the city to train, you will encounter a horde of monsters, and if requested, you will be feathers engaged by heavy reinforced clothing opponents. Beyond that experience, Akira is no different from caging in a relatively safe city until Alpha's support is fully available.

Afterwards, Akira bought all the equipment, etc. for the time being at Sizka's store. Pack the new rucksack with recovery pills, spare ammunition, gun maintenance tools, etc., and wear the gun you bought. Together, they weighed quite a bit on Akira's body. Feeling the firm weight, I understood once again the benefits of improving my physical abilities with fortified clothing.

Akira exchanged contact details for the new information terminal with Sizka. If the previous information terminal had remained, it would have been possible to take over contact information, but that was impossible because it had been destroyed in the battle with Nelia. If you don't want to connect to a new contact, I asked you to contact your hunter code.

See Akira wearing her immediate gear. It's better gear than when Akira first came to Sizka's. But it looked a little unreliable to Sizka's gear. Because I felt like Akira was gradually increasing the amount and quality of the rough stuff involved in running the hunter.

"Is Akira going to fight with that for a while?

If so, let me advise you a little more strongly not to impose it. That's what Sizka was thinking.

Akira shakes her head to the side.

"No, I'm going to close hunter operations until a new set of gear arrives. Because we don't have the strength to go out into the wilderness in a state of insufficiency."

"Yes. That's good. There seems to be a lot going on, and occasionally, rest."

Sizka smiles safely knowing that Akira is not going to be forced or unscrupulous from herself.

Akira meets lightly to follow Sizka's shop. Sizka dropped Akira off, and then started messing with her information device.

"Akira seems to have run out of information-gathering equipment, and should we ask Elena and the others for their views on the choice? They're going to complain about something when I decide alone. If we find out Akira's alive, we'll both be in a better mood."

Sizka sent it to Elena and the others by writing about her desire to be on a consultation to choose a set of Akira gear.

Akira, who left Sizka's store, decided to show her face to Cheryl's stronghold.

In addition to Akira's temporary hospitalization, Cheryl continues to be out of touch with Akira because she changed her information terminal to something new. No wonder Cheryl has already determined Akira is dead. You'd better put your face on early at Cheryl's before you get any weird misunderstandings. Akira decided so.

Akira tells Alpha as she walks through Slam Street.

"Still, about 60 million aurum for treatment costs and 80 million aurum for equipment? You spent most of the money you earned. What happened to my sense of money?

Alpha smiles at Akira when she smiles.

'Be glad you got enough money to spend it that way. Considering that Akira's life and possessions are all money she earned by piling up on wagers and winning bad bets on minutes, though that may not be enough. But now Akira's gear should be pretty good. My body was treated with care, so I stopped worrying about the burden of impossibility until now. It was tough, but I think it turned out good, right?

"Hmm. That's a little bit of a problem with judgment,"

Akira lost a lot of things in this fight. Guns, fortified clothes, motorcycles, lost the finesse they had in their rucksacks. Those are all things Akira got for risking her life. Some of them became attached.

So Akira realized there was. I bought it from Shizuka's store. That was the guardian of gambling in the old world. The higher the stakes, the lower the chance of winning, the higher the money you get.

(… If this case was in your interest, it would have included the effect of increasing your chances of betting…. It's no exaggeration to say that being blessed with the opportunity to accumulate a big wager is lucky in itself, and even if you make up for the shortfall in wagers with something else, for example death hazard, you don't have the chance to get money worth the risk of death. If you lose, you die, even if you win, you end up with gold. Usually there are more opportunities like that. It's certainly in your interest in that sense..., no, but...)

Akira stopped thinking any further. Because it's bad for mental health.

And I lost my boyfriend. There's no point in caring any more. Akira made that decision and tried not to think any further.

Alpha asks Akira a little strangely.

"Akira. What are you thinking?

"Oh, no, I was thinking about the babysitter I bought at Mr. Sizka's shop earlier."

Akira unconsciously sent a lot together when she answered Alpha in her reading. Nanny Ri. That he may have been the feather of many times experiencing a dying battle in that interest. I did get a lot of money, but I wanted to avoid that fight if I could. And it was Alpha who recommended Akira to watch.

Alpha openly looks away from Akira and answers.

It's not my fault.

"I know, baby."

Akira laughed lightly when she saw Alpha's attitude, which was rather unusual.
