Rebuild World

Akira headed to Sizka's store to receive her new gear.

Sizka waves gently to welcome Akira into the store.

"There you are, Akira. This way."

Sizka smiles lovingly so she leads Akira to the warehouse in the back of the store. The warehouse was also used as an entry point for goods, and heavy firearms, ammunition, etc. of goods were placed on shelves.

Ask Sizka what Akira came up with.

"Speaking of which, are you okay emptying the counter?

"It's okay. There aren't enough gun-seeking customers lined up to make a big deal out of just having an arms store owner take a little seat off the counter. That didn't happen before when a bunch of monsters approached the city. Of course, there were more customers here than usual."

"No, theft or something..."

"The weapons on display are secured to a platform to prevent theft, and surveillance cameras are installed. I have a burglary insurance policy that works with private security companies, and it's no problem."

Suppose a robber shows up at a Sizka store and manages to take the money from the counter and run away. In that case, Sizka is paid an insurance premium equal to the amount of the damage. Sizka is unlikely to bear the kind of damage Akira thinks.

And a private security company contracted with an insurance company, hanging in the company's prestige, captures the robber, whether he lives or dies. The captured robber will thoroughly convert his body's personal belongings into gold by all means, in order to pay the amount of damage claimed in various names. Whether it is necessary to confiscate property, force forced labour or become a laboratory for new drugs and technologies depends on the amount of damage done.

Laugh and talk to Akira about how Sizka still cares a little.

"If you're concerned about me emptying the counter for Akira, consider me a regular customer. That would make Akira feel better, wouldn't it?

Akira has already contributed about 80 million aurum to the sales of Sizka's stores. Still, he can't count as a regular at Sizka's yet.

Sizka goes on to talk about whether Akira's idea came out of her expression or simply whether Sizka's account is sharp.

"I'm very grateful for Akira's contribution to our sales, but I'd like you to contribute with our products if possible. There are parts of fortified clothing that are close to order agency, so honestly, profits aren't very good."

Sizka almost just joked, but Akira answers in a little panic.

"Uh, that's, uh, that you can expect in the future"

"Hehe, I hope so."

Sizka smiles (cheeks) for a little invincible fun, and then reclaims her mind and points to the shutter at the entrance to the warehouse.

"Well, Akira's new set of gear, but there it is."

When Akira saw what was there, she uttered a small voice of surprise and joy.

"I read the quote from Mr. Sizka and I knew beforehand the contents of the new set of gear he had prepared, is this really good to include?

Answer as Sizka looks at Akira with a good look.

"That's right. I put it right on the budget."

There was a large wilderness vehicle parked there. This is part of Akira's new set of gear.

Akira and Sizka go to the side of the car (buckwheat). Akira watches as she eats her car in. It's not like Akira rented a vehicle from a rental shop before, it's not a different type of vehicle, it's not a different kind of vehicle, but it's also a different way of looking at the borrowed and my stuff.

"Then make sure the product is in order, so make sure Akira is with you."

When Sizka takes out the paper in the quote, she also gives Akira a copy of it. Then, as I look at it, I will point and confirm the item in the quotation and the actual item.

"There is one wilderness specification four-wheel drive vehicle Teros 97 made by Tatsumori Heavy Industries. It's a used car, but it's fully serviced, and the control unit has been replaced with a new one."

Akira looks at the body of the car. It is an open vehicle with no roof and is designed to be easily attacked by hunters using large heavy firearms for personal use. The body was affixed with armoured tiles just because it assumed a wilderness specification, that is, an encounter with a monster.

An armoured tile is a type of armoured plate that reacts to an impact or the like to generate force field armor and has the effect of preventing impact. Armor tiles peel off as they are when generating force field armor. Peeled and fallen armored tiles are one of the original scraps of iron rolling into the wilderness.

"One CWH Objective Assault Gun. One DVTS Mini Gun. They are both placed on the car's mount so that they can be used without reinforced clothing. It can also be removed and carried, but be aware that DVTS miniguns consume a lot of ammunition. Expansion parts have been incorporated to increase the number of rounds loaded. It's basic to use the corresponding expansion bullet, but don't worry, you can usually use the bullet."

Akira looks behind the body. The open carrier behind the rear seat is fitted with a gun seat and is equipped with a CWH objective assault gun and a DVTS minigun. Compared to tank machine guns designed on the premise of installing vehicles, they are somewhat (Aisa) or poor, but have sufficient performance for Akira today. Now even if Akira encounters a bunch of monsters again, she will be able to respond quite a bit this time.

"There are two wilderness specification hunter information terminals. Sturdy and somewhat rough to use, it won't break. When something happens in the wilderness, and in some cases to throw an emergency request, the information terminal should be sturdy."

Akira looks at the passenger seat. I have an information terminal that looks sturdy to see.

"There are two electric knives. It's a pretty tough situation at a time when you have to use a knife against a monster opponent to play melee, but it's better than bare hands. Electric shock is used up once. If you're lucky, you can even shorten a mechanical monster."

A knife is placed on the side (buckwheat) of the information terminal. The knife may have been an addendum when purchasing an information terminal. It's natural, but challenging a mechanical monster opponent to fight with a knife is recklessness before suicide if you're a regular hunter. It is often well counteracted on the monster side when it is thought that the machine would be more vulnerable to electricity, etc. So I guess Sizka also says if you're lucky, etc.

"Finally, there is one ERPS comprehensive information-gathering equipment integrated enhancement garment, trade name power silence. Includes a set of accessories in the storage case there. Collaborable aiming devices are also included as part of the accessories, so please put them on later."

Akira grabs the handle of the case in the back seat and tries to get out of the car. But the case weighed more than expected, and Akira dragged it with both hands.

Sizka reached out from behind Akira and grabbed (one) the case that Akira was struggling to carry out so she put it out of the car lightly. Akira, who saw it, made a small exclamation.

Talk in a tone that puts Akira in mind as Sizka smiles (cheeks) somewhat more powerful.

"... the power of fortified clothing?

Sizka wears discreet fortified clothing under her clothes. Akira remembered being taught that before.

Akira reacted slightly but seems to have spoiled Sizka's mood.

"Oh, yes. I know."

Akira replied hastily to misdemonize.

Sizka takes the reinforced clothes out of the storage case. Akira asks Sizka to help her get dressed in new fortified clothes.

There is nothing exoskeleton in the new fortified clothing that was previously worn by Akira. An elongated hard rubber plate is affixed to the fabric woven with soft artificial fibers. The rigid rubber plate had a hole that looked like a connection port to the electronics.

Sizka explained to me as Akira looked at the hole in wonder.

"That's for connecting small information-gathering devices. General information-gathering equipment, integrated enhancement clothing, right? Accessories come with small information gathering equipment. It's a product created with the concept of integrating information-gathering equipment and enhanced clothing."

"Is that kind of thing expensive after all?

"Naturally, the higher the performance, the more versatile the enhancement garment, the higher the value. However, this power silence is a bit of a translation. It's pretty cheap. You can think of it as a one-rank performance compared to the price of the market and the enhanced clothing in the same price range."

"Translated, is it"

Akira also doesn't think Sizka would recommend a weird product. But it is also true that I am concerned when it is described as a translated product, etc.

"Oh, it's okay. There is no such thing as second-hand goods with kuru. It's brand new. The design is flawed and there has never been a recovery noise in the past. It's just a very unpopular product. At the beginning of the launch, the hunter had a terrible reputation for his momentum, and because the hunter was a very famous man of strength, his bad reputation spread and he couldn't sell it at all. The lack of design and performance problems is evidenced by the fact that another product, almost homogeneous and renamed, is well sold."

Akira was somewhat intimate when she heard Sizka explain. Bad luck is mutual. From there it may be a fortified garment worthy of those who seek to ascend.

When Akira starts the fortified garment, the fortified garment shrinks and adheres without discomfort to Akira's shape. I don't feel uncomfortable moving my body lightly. If this is almost unadjusted, I guess there's nothing wrong with performance as Sizka explains it.

Akira closes the storage case for her fortified clothes and loads it in the car. Strengthened clothes could be loaded lightly due to physical enhancement.

Sizka smiles and talks to Akira.

"Now you've confirmed Akira's new set of gear. Did you live up to Akira's expectations?

"Yes. Thank you so much. I sat down."

"That's good. I will continue to make our store suitable for you."

Sizka approaches Akira one step closer and gently hugs Akira.

"... you'll be back in hunter operation again, but be very careful. That's good, huh?

"Yes."

Akira gets in the car away from Sizka. Waving gently to meet Sizka, who drops Akira off, Akira drove back home.

Sizka exhaled lightly and grinned bitterly after Akira was invisible.

"... yummy (first). You put a lot of it in there. I was supposed to have a more divisible personality. If Akira doesn't pay well, it's gonna be a big deal."

If it stays this way, it could be ready for a deficit and convenient for Akira's gear. Sizka told herself strongly, calming her mind and returning to the store counter.

Three days after Akira's equipment was renewed, Akira was driving in her own car through the wilderness.

The controls on the car are already in Alpha's possession. For this reason, it is possible for Alpha to drive the car, but Akira also drives it with training in driving skills.

I've already done Akira's new gear habits, moving around in fortified clothes, trying out new guns and shooting. Today is the first day Akira's hunter activity in her new gear resumes.

Akira and the others' destination is a one-time stop before going to the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. When Akira and the others were looking for a terminal installation location at Lyons Tail, it was where an arrow indicating the installation location indicated the basement.

There are no buildings on the ground in this wilderness that are littered with rubble. But there could be old world ruins underground, like the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street.

If there were a large amount of artifacts left in the ruins of the untapped Old World, it would have made a fortune (already). Hunters of such dreams have rushed through the wilderness to investigate the east. And some of the successful people are going to be millionaires overnight and quit hunters, and more hunters roll out into the wilderness to follow, swallowing and disappearing straight into the wilderness.

Akira drives the car according to the navigator shown on the monitor of the car's control device. The monitor also shows the time remaining to arrive.

Akira speaks to Alpha sitting in the passenger seat.

"But you didn't expect to get your own car so soon. Now if I find an undiscovered relic of the old world, the other hunters won't find out right away, will they? You said you might find it in the moving log when you return it as a rental vehicle."

'Yeah. It's the same when you get a crusade request, so be careful because you haven't got a crusade request this time. Ammunition costs a fortune to fight monsters. Unless you take the monster you defeated and sell it. "

"Should I take it home? The monster you defeated must have been bought in the hunter's office."

'Let's stop. That's what I would do in advance to anticipate a black deficit by knowing the market price of the purchase price, where the gold will be, and how to carry it and how to fight it. It's also important to know how to defeat a monster that won't lower your purchase. Polar theory, but you think they'll buy me a bio-based monster minced with a DVTS minigun?

"I don't think so"

'Isn't that right? Plus pack extra baggage and the car will slow down for as long as it takes. If you want to take it home with you, you're just in the way. "

"Copy that. I'll stop it."

Defeat a lot of monsters and bring them back and they will be gold. Akira vaguely thought so when she was in Slam Street. But in reality, it doesn't seem like defeating a monster in an appropriately large quantity to a dark cloud would be a lot of money.

"Nevertheless..."

See again the Alpha outfit with Akira sitting in the passenger seat.

Alpha wore a pure white dress. The vibrant white glow over multiple layers of elegant glossy fabric gives even a light sense of divinity. White long-handbags and sleeves stretching up to the wrist hide the skin of the hands and arms, while hems stretching up to the floor hide the skin of the feet. This dress has a design that you feel like trying to obsessively hide your skin from the neck.

The fabric would have caught on everywhere in the car, and even the outfit would be difficult to get on. Alpha, a visual being, is why we can sit flat.

"Can't you handle that outfit?

"Oh, don't you mind? Maybe it doesn't suit Akira's taste?

"That's not what this is about, can I just say that it feels out of place, and the discomfort with the neighborhood is amazing. You're not dressed as a human going into the wilderness, are you?

'Cause the neighborhood is somewhat deliberate. You've explained this before, haven't you? If there was someone who could recognize me, he said I was making it easy to discover. You're dressed like this to elicit their reaction.'

"Oh, you did"

"So when it comes to my outfit, I hope Akira gets used to it."

"Even if they say so. Oh, can't you wear the previous maid's clothes? It's still better that way."

'Maid clothes... Perhaps it's not that uncommon to go to the wilderness with made-up clothes, although it may be too much of my thinking. So I'll stop it.'

"I don't think so."

'Look, someone was walking through this front lower compartment in maid clothes, right? She's more than likely a hunter or a similar force officer.'

"... oh, you sure were there"

Akira got a little grumpy remembering that time. But for now, keep calm by putting aside the various emotions that come with it. That was an unparalleled ugliness, but every time I remember it, it's a disgrace to lack calm.

Akira remembers Kanae, a man in maid clothes at that time. Kanae even had a faint laugh after recognizing the one-touch situation, even signs that he had even hoped to move straight into battle. There is no doubt that Kanae is a person who prefers rough things and is confident in his own ability to fight. It is also likely that you are a Siori colleague due to the content of the conversation. I guess it's as strong as it gets.

'In other words, for those in those professions, maid clothing may not be that uncommon an outfit. Even if a hunter in the wilderness sees a fellow wearing made-up clothes, you've been dressed up a lot lately, so I might be able to get it done.'

There's nothing wrong with hunters wearing made-up clothes. Akira listens back with a subtle look when she hears about shaking her common sense.

"Well, isn't that a little impossible?

'I'm talking about possibilities. For example, suppose a hunter found a warehouse of clothing manufacturers in the old world from the ruins of the old world. So suppose I found a ton of made-up clothes and took them all back and sold them off. Clothing created with old world technology may be more powerful than protective clothing created with current technology, even if it wasn't created for combat. Because the same items were sold out in large quantities at the same time (because), the sales value dropped as a result, and if you meditate (crush) on the design, a large number of hunters, both male and female, bought them as cheap high-performance protective clothing. Wouldn't it be surprising if a hunter in maid clothes wandered in the wilderness?

"Men and women, men too?

"Men too. Everyone deserves a life. Well, in that case, I don't wear it all over town, maybe I'll go out in the wilderness and get dressed. '

Akira imagined the sight a little.

A tenacious man hunter explores the ruins of the old world wearing low-cost, high-performance maid clothes. There he meets a fellow trader of a man in maid clothes as well. They look at each other's outfits and understand each other's circumstances, decide not to see them, and leave them awkwardly and silently. A similar situation ensues, and reopened them, as troops dressed in the same made-up clothes, continue their search for ruins without worrying about each other's outfits. Eventually......

Akira broke up her imagination ahead there.

"... don't let my common sense break down"

"Common sense changes every day."

Akira and the others went on through the wilderness, continuing some uneven conversation.

Akira and the others arrived at their destination a little after the expected time of arrival, avoiding encounters with monsters wherever possible. Akira stops the car in the shadow of rubble. Put a camouflage seat on top of the car that matches the surrounding view. Akira knows there's a car there right away, but it's very difficult for people who don't know to look for it visually.

"Are you okay?

Akira was squeaking (crushing) as she looked at the car. This is the car I got. I want to avoid being stolen by someone or broken by a monster.

'Maybe. If you're worried about it and can't explore the ruins, you're going down. Break it up, to some extent.'

It's not as easy to steal Hunter's car as Akira thinks it is stopping in the wilderness. Because the hunter side is taking quite a defense as well.

If the car is equipped with a control device with automatic combat capability, the stealing side (wax) may be hit back by the car and killed. Basically, it doesn't fit. That's why it can be lightly stolen if the normal car is properly stopped. It would already be a world of luck there.

Unfortunately, Akira's luck is worse. I can only hope Akira's defensive measures can fathom that bad luck.

Akira explores the surroundings one by one to circle around the parking spot of the car. What Akira and the others are looking for is an underground entrance that will probably be buried in rubble. Naturally, there is no way that Akira can be found looking at the ground where the rubble is scattered visually, and the investigation by the information-gathering equipment relies on it.

"Speaking of which, how well does the new information-gathering equipment perform? Can it be so high performance that it's not comparable to the previous one?

"Overall performance is not quite as different from what it was before."

"Really? Didn't you say Mr. Sizka had one-ranked performance?

'That would be the overall performance as fortified clothing, wouldn't it? Sometimes the comprehensive information-gathering equipment Elena gave away was pretty high-performance. I could have bought it from Akira because Elena sold it for a discarded price, but I could never have bought it from Akira's money back then.'

"Were you..."

Akira once again thanked Elena, and vowed to return this favour.

About an hour has passed since Akira proceeded with the perimeter investigation. Sometimes we are investigating beneath the rubble while alerting to monster raids, and there has been no significant increase in the number of places searched. Still, I want to save myself the hassle of searching the same place again later thinking about overlooking it, so I'm slowly going to go ahead with my investigation.

Without encountering any monsters, the investigation itself is going well without any particular problems. Akira's expanded vision shows arrows pointing to a strict destination, the terminal installation location of Lyons Tail, a company in the old world. Its arrows pointing to the ground are displayed near the center of the survey range. Akira and the others had already broadened their investigation to a significant distance from the arrow.

"I can't find you. Could the entrance be in a completely different place?

'If it's a big underground, you can have as many entrances and exits as you want. I don't want to think about it, but it's also possible that the information on the location of the terminal is incorrect. What do you say we cut this place up and head somewhere else?

"No, go on. So far there's no engagement with monsters either. The investigation itself is making it easier, and let's keep going."

"Okay."

The investigation continues. Akira and the others will continue to investigate further.

"Suppose there were ruins underneath here like the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street, with plenty of entrances and exits. What makes you think Alpha can't find you looking?

'Right. The remnants of the high-rise buildings that would have existed in this place filled the ground, and soil and stuff piled up in the accumulation over the years, and the ground at the time was buried deep underground. I don't know.'

"In that case, can we not bring in even heavy machines anymore?

"If the entrance and exit are on the ground floor or in the basement of the building, and the building is buried with some original form left behind, I think we can go through the building from there."

"Is it possible"

Akira continued her exploration of the area as she continued to chat with Alpha. After that, we will continue our exploration with care. It had extended the exploration location to places already quite a distance from the parking point.

It was when Akira started thinking about changing her parking spot because she had come a long way from the car. Alpha gives Akira instructions.

"Stop."

"Is that a monster?

Akira puts up a gun with the rubble on her back and takes an alert stance.

'No, I'm not. I may have found what I was looking for. "

Alpha pointed to the nearby debris, precisely the ground beneath it. At the same time, Akira's vision is expanded to display images generated by Alpha based on information obtained from the information collection device. Alpha pointed to a staircase buried in rubble.

"I finally found it!... and I just wanted to say, that's a long way from where the arrows are. It would be nice if the ruins in the basement were just that vast. It has nothing to do with the possibility of a staircase leading to the basement of the building."

Akira realized she was feeling a little excited and deliberately mouthed the possibility of lukewarm joy to keep her calm.

'We'll just have to get down and find out. Retreat the rubble from the way it is. The performance of the new fortified clothes. "

"Good! Do it!

Akira began the process of removing the rubble willingly.

Akira follows Alpha's instructions and in turn brings debris out of the scene. Large debris that cannot be moved by life also manages to retreat (dust) with the force of the fortified clothing it is wearing.

Alpha has also instructed Akira on the location of the debris after it has been removed. We do a lot of calculations to make it difficult to see the location of the stairs where the rubble was removed and dewy, or to get a dead spot when we pulled a car nearby.

Akira's fortified clothing fully performed its function. With Akira's efforts, the rubble that had hidden the stairs in about half an hour was removed.

Akira returned once to the car and moved the car to the shadow of debris near the stairs. Then remove the CWH objective assault gun installed in the car and add it to the equipment. I wasn't sure if I should take the DVTS minigun too, but I decided to leave it. Because carrying any more heavy firearms is going to get in the way, and we're going to run out of spare ammunition soon.

The heavy restrictions have been reduced thanks to the fortified clothing, but that's not why we carry as much spare ammunition as piles to use DVTS miniguns. Things that stand in the way of exploring the ruins should be reduced as much as possible.

Akira stands in front of the stairs and peeks into the back of the stairs leading to the basement. At the end of his sight, behind the stairs, he remembered the illusion that the darkness beyond the light of day was spreading indefinitely in an attempt to swallow everything.

From the undiscovered ruins of the Old World, take home tons of the relics of the Old World to get a lot of money. The exaltation disappeared from the midst of Akira. What is in front of Akira is the mouth of a monster who swallowed many hunters with that hope and desire as bait. Only the hunters who ate the monster from the inside and survived will get a lot of money.

Advise Akira, who increases tension, with a serious look as Alpha hangs the chase.

'Akira. I'll tell you right now, so remember me well. Keeping my appearance in sight as much as possible in the basement. If you can no longer see me or hear me, that is, if Akira can no longer recognize me, turn back immediately. When Akira can't recognize me, Akira can't get my support at all. Be very careful.'

Akira rushes to see Alpha.

"Not at all? Am I not lowering?

'That's right. Of course (of course), that will never happen. In this case, it is possible that it is such a monument, and the possibility increases in the basement. Even in that case, you can go back to where Akira can recognize me.'

"Even though it was okay in the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street?

"The ruins of Kuzsuhara Street are like my garden. It's okay to some extent. Still had some effect on the opponents?

Akira realized her legs were swollen. Akira has survived with Alpha's support. It threatens to be lost. I can't help but hesitate for Akira to go back.

'If you're scared, you don't have to do it, do you? Because Akira's life is at stake, some hands say the ruins underground can be cut off and exploration narrowed to earthly ruins.'

"... not stopping from Alpha means it's not dangerous, and normally I can handle it enough, right?

'That's right...'

"Then I'll go. Courage and readiness are my share. Don't you?"

Akira puts on a temper, strengthens and smiles. The smile sticks to Akira's face and laughs forcefully to be true. What Akira can overcome with her efforts is what Akira should do. That hasn't changed since before Akira met Alpha.

It's just about doing what Akira did when she was in Slam Street, in a more privileged environment. Akira made up her mind.

Alpha also smiles back at Akira.

'Okay. Let's go.'

Akira never intended to, and began to descend the stairs. And I'll be right back.

Alpha asks strangely.

"What's wrong?

"I knew we'd take the arr too. When that ammunition runs out, I'm gonna turn back."

Akira removes the DVTS minigun and carries it when she gets back to the car. Alpha was laughing a little when she saw Akira, who went down the stairs with her intentions but went right back.

Akira muttered (crushed) with a slightly worse look.

"... what the hell"

'It's nothing. It's good to be discreet, isn't it?

Alpha replied with a laugh.
