65 Subcontracting of good deeds

Cheryl kicks Elio and Alicia out of the room. On the surface, I just told Elio and the others to get back to work. But Elio and the others rushed out of the room a little bit, feeling intimidated just saying, get out of Cheryl right away, don't come in.

Cheryl gets up. Akira wondered if she was going to hug me again, but Cheryl sat back across from Akira as she was. And ask Akira with a serious look.

"Is Akira something you want me to do or something?

"That's abrupt."

"I've always taken care of you, and I was wondering if there was anything I could give you back because I got such a good thing. It doesn't matter if it's against me or us."

Cheryl's expression doesn't make me happy to have something of value. There was some sort of desperation there.

Akira thought a little, but couldn't think of anything in particular.

"That's not particularly so far. If there's anything else I can do for you, I'll do it then."

If that's what Akira would say to me if I were regular Cheryl, that would pull me back. But not this time. Cheryl eats down with a serious look. That's an attitude that's already close to pleading and petitioning.

"Are you sure there's nothing? Anything is fine. Whether it's an easy thing or an impossible challenge, could you just say it?

Cheryl thinks it's creepy (first) not to return even a small amount of gratitude she receives from Akira. But I can't think of any specific means or content of it for Cheryl.

Cheryl gave up and decided to ask Akira directly. If it were a demand from Akira, it would be less likely to buy Akira's unhappiness than Cheryl would think and execute it on his own. More likely in return.

Cheryl, who doesn't want Akira to abandon him, is going to do it, even if it's quite difficult, if it's doable. Assuming Akira told her to lick her leg naked, Cheryl would have executed without any hesitation.

Cheryl's temper is well conveyed to Akira. But even Akira doesn't know why. Suddenly he told me to ask for something, but I couldn't answer Akira right away.

"Even if they say so..."

Anything is fine, so I need to ask Cheryl. It's not going to pull off easily. Akira figured that out, too.

Think while Akira is under barometric pressure from Cheryl's temper. I rub my shoulders, and I think Cheryl won't be satisfied with the request, so I think about it. Cheryl's temper was a little counterproductive to Cheryl's purpose, making it difficult for Akira to easily ask for something simple.

Akira, who kept thinking about it for a while, will try to come up with something.

"Right. Then give the children of Slam Street a real meal and reading and writing."

Cheryl listens to Akira. And ask Akira back in wonder.

"... is that a good thing?

What good is Akira for doing it? Cheryl had no idea.

Akira speaks a little unexpectedly on the contrary.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to push the challenge, but if that's what it is for Cheryl, please. I'll leave the scale and quality of the content to Cheryl's discretion, but I'm asking you to go up there to be realistic."

Cheryl answers with a serious look.

"Okay. I will try my best."

"Oh, and you're doing it because I told you not to talk about it. If you ask me why I'm doing this, I want you to misdemonize me."

Cheryl snorted.

"Okay. I will never talk."

I have no idea why Cheryl would ask Akira to do that. I also know Cheryl as much as she likes Akira and doesn't recommend good behavior. What Akira asked Cheryl to do is not to indirectly benefit Akira either. If you're going to sell your name for good deeds, there's no point in hiding Akira's name.

But that's not the point that matters to Cheryl. What matters is that Akira asked Cheryl to consider it an impossible challenge. I mean, if Cheryl does that, it'll be enough in return for Akira.

Cheryl decided to put out the ordeal and implement the request from Akira with firm determination.

Alpha comes up with the idea. Alpha doesn't know why Akira would ask Cheryl to do that. Alpha constantly observes and evaluates Akira, grasps basic behavioral principles, etc., and attempts to manage Akira's behavior.

Akira's behavior now deviates considerably from Alpha's person rating of Akira. In order to gain a better understanding of Akira, Alpha needed to understand why Akira acted.

Alpha asks Akira with a strange look in an attitude that does not make her feel shards inside, but asks trivial questions.

"Hey Akira. Why did you ask me to do that?

'I wonder what to say. Uh, it would be a good thing to feed and knowledge kids in Slam Street, wouldn't it?

"Well, in general, I guess so."

"I thought if I asked Cheryl to do it, I'd do something good, even indirectly, and my bad luck might improve somewhat."

In other words, Akira is like subcontracting good deeds. It would be evil to instigate evil deeds. Then it would be good to instigate good deeds. In other words, Akira thought that by instigating good deeds on Cheryl, her bad luck would not improve.

Akira was really moving selfishly, except that what she sought was a superstition or occult thing called luck.

"Who asked you not to give Akira's name?

'Cause if you give me my name, it's gonna be a pain in the ass later.'

Akira asked Cheryl to lay down her name also to avoid getting caught up in every later trouble. He helps someone for free and leaves without giving his name to the person who helped him. Akira twisted (twisted) such a common beauty story to the extent that she interpreted it as preventing many other people from asking for help free of charge.

Akira is trying to push Cheryl through all the trouble that comes from an inadvertent good deed to make a profit she doesn't even know if there is one. I explained to Cheryl that it was an impossible challenge for a similar reason.

Alpha was relieved to learn that Akira had not suddenly changed her mind and woken up to good deeds. Because Akira's actions were not out of Alpha's person rating. It's easier for Alpha to control Akira's behavior than for Akira to be somewhat selfish. That's why I have trouble getting Akira to be a good man all of a sudden.

'I see. I'm convinced. I doubt it's going to work. "

"I'm not expecting anything more effective. Just a thought, and even if it didn't work, it wouldn't do me any harm. '

'So is that. Well, even if Akira suddenly wakes up to good deeds, it doesn't matter if she dies sheltering someone in exchange for her life. I only have Akira, so I don't want Akira to be forced to do that?

"I'm ruthless enough to abandon an unrelated hostage. I don't imitate that. You know Alpha, too, right?

"You did."

Akira didn't abandon her weapon when she was taken hostage by Raina in the basement. Akira is aware of her own ruthlessness.

But Alpha knows. that Akira, at Cheryl's base, did not hesitate to shoot the man who made the suggestion to harm Sizka. that Akira suddenly received the emergency request by herself, knowing that Sarah and Elena were in a defensive battle after Akira once turned down an emergency request to repel a herd of monsters heading to the city.

Assuming it was either Sizka, Elena or Sarah who were taken hostage, whether Akira abandoned the hostage. Alpha couldn't make a decision.

Akira, back in Cheryl's private room, was being held by Cheryl again. Akira tried to go home because she was running errands, but Cheryl's momentum pushed her into the room as she was.

Cheryl, cleared of immediate concerns in return for Akira, was bringing Akira into the room with a strong smile, realizing Akira's subtle hindsight, which pushed Cheryl into difficulty because of her prior wisdom (groaning).

Cheryl was hugging Akira to restore physical and mental fatigue. Akira has no consciousness of it, but Akira is the source of Cheryl's spirit. The mental load I had on Cheryl during the days I couldn't get in touch with Akira was considerable, but I had recovered to the extent that I regained my usual wit (groaning) by holding Akira for about an hour.

In Cheryl's head, who regained his brilliance, two different thoughts continued to contend.

One is that Akira should have a deeper relationship by devising a way forward. Cheryl also knows that Akira is in a relatively fluid state today. Cheryl had a desire to go as far as being able to get flushed by the atmosphere and to deepen her relationship with Akira to such an extent that it was not so easily truncated.

It's like an unfounded inquiry, but I felt that Cheryl would be able to get along to the point where she would be easily understood once she had her hands firmly on Akira.

The other is the idea that it's time to pull and keep holding Akira like this. Akira hasn't got her hands on Cheryl, even though she has the same generation of heterosexuals holding her hand as she pleases. Cheryl simply has no idea if Akira is not interested in Cheryl's shards, or if she is patient with thinking that there will be a lot more trouble when she hands on them.

There is no point in being abrupt and approaching Akira for a profound relationship and buying an unhappiness from Akira. If Akira becomes even reluctant to be held by Cheryl, there will be a lot of negative effects on Cheryl's mental stability. I didn't like that either, Cheryl.

Akira somehow noticed that Cheryl was thinking a lot, but she didn't even know what she was thinking, and she didn't care. I guess Cheryl, the captive boss, has a lot to come up with. That's because I wasn't quite interested in Cheryl's thinking.

When Akira is chatting with Cheryl and getting information about Slam Street, etc., there is a knock sound again. Akira and Cheryl look in the direction of the sound. The Lord of Knock waited for the Lord of the Room's reply, not to go straight into the room.

It's open.

When Cheryl replies, she opens the door and Alicia comes in. To boast to other human beings that Akira and I are close means a lot to Cheryl, both to maintain the position of captive party boss (to) and as a deterrent in terms of force against other captive parties. Akira understood that too, so she didn't try to pull Cheryl off. But there was some embarrassment, so Akira turned the end of her gaze from Alicia to another person in the room.

Cheryl asks Alicia as she holds onto Akira firmly.

"Is something wrong again?

"It's not, and it's Cheryl's bathing time already, but you don't have to come in? If you're not going in, I'm going to let someone else in."

Alicia came to tell Cheryl about her bathing hours.

Cheryl and the others have bathrooms at their base. Everyone uses it alternately, but the number and size of the bathrooms are completely inadequate for the number of inmates. Bathrooms with only one base are always used by someone, except when cleaning or changing water. In a situation where the number of inmates is increasing, it is difficult for all inmates to use it every day even if multiple people are immersed in a hot tub.

In such usage, Cheryl bathed for about an hour each day with the power of the inmate boss. After Cheryl's men cleaned the bathroom and replaced the water, they were alone in a spacious hot tub. It's a pretty luxurious life for a kid in Slam Street.

Cheryl also avoided taking a bath in the boulder whenever she wanted. Not impossible. It's possible if you want to do it, but your men's dissatisfaction definitely increases. For that reason, Cheryl tried to take a bath at a set time each day.

Alicia came to check on Cheryl because Cheryl wasn't in the bath even after that bath time. If Cheryl wouldn't take a bath for any reason, Alicia was going to let others use it after she went in with Elio.

Cheryl replies with a little surprise at the time that had passed sometime.

"Is that already the time? All right. I'm coming in. Just wait."

Cheryl starts preparing shampoos, etc. that she keeps in her room away from Akira. It's in Cheryl's own room because when I leave it in the bathroom, it won't be a moment.

Akira whines.

"A bath... Why don't I go home and take a bath?"

Akira will have not taken a bath in about a week. He would have been wiped off his body in the course of treatment, but it doesn't make a difference that he hasn't taken a bath. Alpha tells Akira when Akira hands on the rucksack she has on the floor to return.

"Akira. Where are you going to go home?

"Where are you staying?"

"The number of days that Akira had to pay for her stay in the hospital had passed. Instead of going home, we need to find a place to stay. There's no place for Akira to stay, right?

Akira's movement stops. Alpha's right, Akira's accommodation has already expired. All the personal belongings that Akira kept in the inn, including spare ammunition, etc. belonged to the inn.

"... Looking for a place to stay now. Well, if you look. '

The sun has already fallen. It is also possible that all the good rooms there in the inn are buried. A cheap room with only about a shower installed or a hundred thousand aurums a night would be empty, but Akira was not willing to stay there. I wanted to take a good bath, but I don't have enough money to stay in a room that costs a lot of money.

Akira imagined herself wandering around the suburbs of the city looking for a place where there was still a good room, and she lost her temper. Go home and rest once. Akira changed her mind so much that it was a pain in the ass to switch her mind to the task of carrying a heavy rucksack and searching for a lodging and exploring the lower compartments.

Cheryl asks when she realizes how Akira is doing.

"Akira. What's wrong?

"No, I just realized I have to find a place to stay now"

Cheryl found out from Akira's tone and expression that Akira considered it a hassle.

"Would you like to stay in my room if I were? There are no accommodation-like amenities, but there are about beds."

"Is that good? But I want to take a slow bath. Shit..."

Akira bothers me. Shall we sweeten Cheryl's generosity rather than wander through the slums where the sun is already falling and insecurity is deteriorating, searching for lodging and wandering the subdivisions of the city? Akira hasn't taken a bath yet. The more I become aware of it, the more I get my bathing appetite. I still struggle a little, but should I look for an inn and wander around the subdivision? Akira becomes even more troubled.

Cheryl was brilliant enough to imagine what Akira was lost in. Cheryl thinks not and originally, and decides to suggest it to Akira.

"If you're going in with me now, you're going to let me in slowly until it's time for the others to come in, right? The tub is quite spacious, so extend your hands and feet enough to get in. I don't think any idiots steal Akira's stuff either. If you're anxious, I think you should leave it near the bathroom. You can see it through the glass."

Akira keeps bothering. Most of the reasons to worry are concerns about your safety and the safety of your possessions. This is inside Cheryl's stronghold, not the streets of Slam Street. Akira doesn't know how safe the place is. I believe it is safe to the extent that it bothers me. At the same time, I doubt its safety to the extent that it bothers me. That's why Akira couldn't decide.

Cheryl's words lessened Akira's concerns as she intended, but they didn't do enough to make her decide.

Leaving Akira alone is going to bother me forever. Alpha, who decided so, adds the judgment material.

'If you're a foe, I'll carry it out as usual. If Akira's luggage is stolen, we'll find out soon enough. "

'Really? So, you're okay, then?

Cheryl continues by observing that Akira's stray balance leans heavily.

"Bathing time, it's running out, but what do you want to do?

Cheryl looked at Akira's expression and grabbed the answer before she heard back.

Akira is immersed in the bathroom bath where Cheryl and the others are based. He stretched out his hands and legs and dipped (or soaked) in the water to his neck, leaving himself to the comfort of the water temperature and feel.

Akira was experiencing the feeling that fatigue, which should not be present, would fall out and dissolve in the water from her body, which should be physically adequate after being treated at the hospital. Whether that's mental fatigue or just an illusion, it doesn't make a difference that you're healed.

In the end Akira gave in to her own bathing appetite and decided to take a bath with Cheryl.

Akira's equipment, etc. is kept in the stripper. Ellio and Alicia are watching outside the stripper so that no one can get their hands on Akira's possessions out of interest.

The watch itself is also carried out when Cheryl and the inmate girls are bathing. There was already an ex-con who had a peek at Cheryl's bathing in the past, and he was kicked out of the Jail Party.

Akira's vision, blurry and looking forward, shows Cheryl washing her body. Akira also borrowed soap, etc. from Cheryl to wash her body before taking a bath. Cheryl still kept washing her body, even though it was about the same time they started washing her body.

Is it something that needs to be thoroughly washed that far? The simple question quickly disappears after floating for a moment on Akira, who is being eroded by the pleasure of bathing. Because that's not important to Akira right now.

Cheryl washes her body and hair with care. Cheryl, who understands his appearance to be very helpful when taking advantage of every negotiation with others, etc., was polishing his own body in mind.

The cosmetics and soap samples that Cheryl had previously received from the scallops are extraordinary and of high quality given Slam City standards. Cheryl is washing and polishing her body with them. The complexion gloss of the skin and hair that was painful in Slam Street life had already restored enough radiance.

Cheryl's nakedness was very clear when she bathed in water and increased her luster. It's so fascinating that a boy living in Slam Street, after understanding the meaning of the grace belonging to the detachment party, puts that grace on the stake to see at first sight.

It should be noted that because he lost the bet, he was thrown out of his clothes (as he was) without even being able to see Cheryl naked. If he were still alive, he would regret his choice. At least he wanted to be thrown out after a glance.

Cheryl, who has finished washing her body, heads to the tub. Akira's gaze is directed at Cheryl as someone who was in sight moved heavily. Cheryl's cheeks, who felt the gaze from Akira, stain Zhu before soaking in the water.

Cheryl is also embarrassed to be seen naked by the same generation of heterosexuals, albeit above consent. Still, Cheryl went to the tub without concealing her undisturbed nakedness with her hands, and sank herself into the water trying to make her shamefully even, beautiful body look like Akira.

Cheryl sees Akira's reaction. Akira, who was to the extent that she was following with her eyes objects that moved within her sight, was returning her gaze to the frontal universe because the subject stopped moving significantly. Cheryl was a confident person in his body, except for a part of his body, more precisely the size of his chest. As a result, Akira's attitude, which seemed not to be of much interest to Cheryl's body, struck Cheryl a little.

Cheryl asks Akira for an aside.

"... how was that?

Asked Akira looks over the tub and then answers.

"... wide"

Akira's consciousness is beginning to dissolve in the water. Akira supplemented Cheryl's questioning content with a blurred head with a missing phrase with her own interpretation, and returned Cheryl with a blurred response to that questioning content.

Cheryl understood the details of Akira's reply and its premise with a sense of wisdom. Cheryl asked Akira how she felt about her nudity with embarrassment, but she decided that Akira's head, which was boiled, was a question for the tub and replied that she was satisfied with its breadth.

Cheryl was a little depressed to learn that her body, which was quite confident, was turning into an accompaniment to the tub. Cheryl's body sinks deeper into the water. There is air bubbling from Cheryl's lips beneath the water. Maybe he's also saying it in his stupidity for Akira.

(... I did explain that it's a large tub, but do you normally take that as it is?

Cheryl looks at Akira with a slightly dissatisfied eye. So Akira also realized that she had misanswered again, but Akira, who was drawing her soul to the water, could not even think of the correct question and its reply.

When Akira is taking a bath at the inn, she's mostly with Alpha. Although only visual information, Akira was used to taking a bath with someone. That's also why I don't care much about you bathing with Cheryl.

Akira was used to having a hot tub with her very attractive naked opposite sex in a way. The habit had significantly reduced Akira's libido under that circumstance. This may be the result of the honey trap measures Alpha has applied to Akira. Akira, who is immersed in a hot tub, has no better pleasure than bathing.

In the way Akira looks at it, Cheryl's efforts to wash her body with care so that she doesn't have a problem getting her hands on it will not bear fruit. Cheryl understands it and exhales.

Cheryl switches her mind and sees Akira immersed in a hot tub. From Akira, who leaves herself to the pleasure of bathing, I can't feel the alertness to others that I feel from my usual Akira. Cheryl's eyes don't look like the awesome (awesome) hunter that Akira pays 10 million aurums lightly right now. Akira looks like she's just a boy who seems to be everywhere with a comfortable look on her face immersed in a hot tub.

Cheryl sees the Akira and thinks. If Akira is just a boy, wouldn't she have to worry a lot if she approached Akira on this occasion now and caged her with her body, even if it was somewhat forceful? If Akira took her hand and wrapped it around her own limb skin, intertwining each other's legs and overlapping her lips, would Akira be concerned about it too? I have no doubt that my appearance is attractive enough for many heterosexuals. Then even Akira won't hate you inside.

Imagine the sight Cheryl tried to force. Cheryl's imaginary Akira had embraced Cheryl's actions with resistance only at the tip of her mouth. The seemingly defenseless figure of Akira creates alarm at Cheryl's thought and transforms assumptions and assumptions into something convenient for herself. An unusual environment is driving Cheryl's brilliant judgment slightly crazy. Although unconscious, Cheryl was in a mild state of excitement.

Cheryl noticed Akira looking at herself as she moved slightly to reach closer to Akira.

Akira stares at Cheryl. I'm observing Cheryl's behavior. See if the target is the enemy with a quiet eye.

Akira had unconsciously felt a slight something that could not even be called Cheryl's harm and had switched consciousness. A boy who seemed to be everywhere from before Cheryl disappeared and a heartless hunter appeared to kill his enemies without any hesitation.

Cheryl solidifies. Cheryl's optimistic thoughts earlier disappear. At the same time Akira's gaze at Cheryl returned to normal.

Akira is unaware of her own changes. For that reason, the way Cheryl looked from Akira was just that Cheryl, who tried to move, suddenly stopped moving.

Akira asks Cheryl wonderfully.

"What's wrong with you?

"Yes, no, it's nothing"

"Hmm? Right."

Akira didn't care much for Cheryl's somewhere stiff reply and began to give herself up to the pleasure of a comfortable hot tub again. Akira's expression begins to loosen up again. Akira's soul, which was returning to her body, begins to dissolve in the water again.

Cheryl relieved herself when she saw Akira. I don't see how Akira was in a bad mood.

(... It was dangerous. You've been thinking a lot about what I did. If I'm going to be good enough, Akira's got my hands full. need to be careful)

Cheryl will try to imagine the sight if she tried to force herself again. Imagine Akira holding Cheryl's throat up with one arm. Cheryl stopped to imagine going on before moving on to the sight of being slapped on the floor as it was.

(... I knew Akira would have to give me a hand or at least get permission in advance)

Akira and Cheryl's friendship shrunk to the point of taking a bath with Akira. Cheryl decided to be satisfied with it for now.

Cheryl spent the rest of her bathing time settling down and giving herself up in the hot tub to restore her daily fatigue.
