Rebuild World

Akira, guided to her room by Cheryl, stopped Cheryl from trying to hold onto herself for now. And I sat across from Cheryl, who I'm sorry to hear about.

Cheryl turns her mind around and smiles.

"What can I do for you today? If you need anything, say anything."

"No, that's not what I meant. I've dived into the ruins of the old world with new gear. As I showed my face, I just came to give you that souvenir. Think of it as a thank you for keeping my bike or for letting me stay the night before."

Take the artifact Akira brought from the rucksack and arrange it in front of Cheryl. Cheryl rounds her eyes by looking at clothes, underwear, handkerchiefs and accessories for women. They all looked very expensive to Cheryl.

"Ho, is it really appropriate to have it?

"Choose handkerchiefs and accessories one by one. I'll do everything else."

Cheryl understood from Akira's story that the items lined up in front of her were relics of the old world. Definitely a luxury item for the residents of Slam Street. Cheryl didn't even know the exact value of these items, but he could only understand that they were luxury items that would never be available in his own gold.

For Akira, it was something that Katsuragi didn't even buy up, a perception of a cheap artifact. The evaluation of the two artifacts was the opposite, and we were a little surprised at how they reacted to each other.

Cheryl is choosing handkerchiefs and accessories with a serious look. When Akira began to wonder if she would give it all the more if it bothered her so much, Cheryl made a gradual decision.

"Then I'll take this and this"

"Okay. It's a relic of the old world. It will be as clear as it is when you show it to someone. Use it well."

Akira begins to rucksack handkerchiefs and accessories that Cheryl didn't choose again.

Cheryl is double-checking what Akira gave her while floating a little. Some of them also mix underwear for women. This underwear is designed for adults with a combination of goods and colour.

Is it possible that you want to see yourself in this underwear? Cheryl thought about it and checked on Akira with a little anticipation. And when I saw Akira's attitude, I withdrew the idea in an instant.

(... I gave it to you because it's for women and I can't use it myself. That's why to that extent)

Cheryl's predictions are rough. It wouldn't be annoying to give him clothes because he would also have trouble with serious (decent) clothes in Slam Street. It's better than letting them sleep in the warehouse. Akira's recognition is to that extent.

Akira stands up and carries the rucksack after packing her stuff.

"I'm done for, and I'm leaving today."

"Are you leaving already? Slow down a little bit..."

Cheryl tries to hold Akira back in surprise. Even though Akira arrived at the corner (because of it), she didn't hug her. I want Akira to stay longer if possible. I want you to stay here if possible.

Cheryl comes up with a reason to hold Akira back, but Akira answers before she comes up with it.

"I'm sorry. I'm going to show my face elsewhere. I'll be back in there. Let me know if you need anything."

"Really? I'm sorry, but I understand. Thank you so much for everything. Sit down. I was so happy."

Cheryl smiled and thanked Akira. A blossoming smile that works great for the men of the inmate party, but is still very ineffective against Akira. for Akira's human distrustful interpersonal view.

"... well, if you're going to be so happy, I'll bring you something else"

Akira answered that without changing her expression. It may have had a slight effect.

Cheryl returned to his room after dropping Akira off outside the base. Then I lay down in bed and rebuffed (soldered) the pick-up with Akira earlier.

Cheryl looks at the pendant Akira gave her from her fingertips. Cheryl was very happy with the gift from Akira, but Cheryl had something on her mind. Cheryl thinks why.

Because it wasn't Akira who chose the pendant, but Cheryl herself? Because of the strong implications of tools for interpersonal negotiation that show Cheryl's relationship with Akira? Is that why Akira used the word "clear" and so on?

Cheryl decided it wasn't a good idea to continue this thought and stopped thinking about it any more. See all the other things Akira gave me while I slept. Old world-made clothing and underwear caught my eye.

(... if I change my clothes, I'll feel better)

Cheryl got out of bed and started taking off her clothes. Some of the things Akira gave me are underwear for women, so I also take off my underwear and get naked. And take the lingerie of the relics of the old world out of the sealed wrap. The touch of the underwear was so comfortable that it was different from what Cheryl had been using.

(A boulder is a relic of the old world. I wonder how much it will be if I buy it?

When Cheryl tries to wear that underwear, the door is knocked and the door is opened without waiting for Cheryl to reply.

"Cheryl. Akira is..."

That's what I said. I open the door. Elio and Cheryl's eyes meet. Elio rushed to close the door vigorously.

The conscious Elio, who did something very unpleasant (first), gives a very good reflection of his inner self. It is fear.

Cheryl's voice comes from across the door.

"Elio."

"No! I thought it would be better if I let Akira see me once because there were more new arrivals, and I just came to confirm that! It's not like that!

"Akira has business to attend to, so I'm home. More than that, Elio."

Cheryl separates there once. Elio is sweating and looking at the door.

"No next time."

I'm afraid the opposite is the unusual tone. Elio vowed never to open the door again without confirmation.

Sizka is talking to Elena and the others in her shop. I was just asking what was going on with Elena and Sarah.

"Yes. So you're done with the underground request Elena and the others were getting."

Sarah answers with her face down.

"Yeah. Now we can finally get back to exploring the relics."

Sarah's expression was bright and somewhere clean, and the tone was overflowing with openness.

Sizka asks a little strangely to see how that Sarah is doing.

"Were you that dissatisfied with continuing with your underground requests? I heard from the two of you that fighting monsters was done without difficulty, and it seemed like you made a lot of money,"

Elena giggles and answers Sizka's questions with a bitter smile.

"It's not. Sarah's dissatisfaction is not your cause. Look, all the artifacts found in the contract are owned by the city, so no matter how many artifacts we found, we had to keep our fingers shut. I've seen Sarah walk away with the thought of getting her hair pulled behind her, looking at the relics of the old world in front of her."

When Elena said that and laughed with pleasure, Sizka, who heard it, also imagined the sight and held back the laughter.

Sarah tells Elena a little more annoyingly.

"The stupidity of artifact entanglement was that Elena was zero."

"Of course, I'm the same person Sarah was patient with. You didn't say I wasn't, did you?

Elena replied softly. Sarah was a little rotten.

Akira came into the store when the sizkas were having such a chat. Sizka and the others immediately noticed Akira. Akira soon realizes it and comes all the way to the counter.

Elena looks at Akira and smiles.

"It's been a while. Akira. Sizka told me you were pretty unscrupulous, but you look fine and more importantly."

Akira answers with a laugh.

"Mr. Elena. Sarah, it's been a while."

Sarah talks as she checks on Akira's injury.

"I was worried because Akira suddenly came off the underground request, but it feels fine to see it. Well, I won't ask what happened. You can't tell me, can you?

"Excuse me. That helps."

Sarah and the others had some idea of Akira's circumstances. Thankful for Akira.

Sizka smiles (cheers) at Akira and Sarah.

"So what can I do for you today? Is the new gear too dry for you, and you need ammunition now?

"No, I took the artifact there back from the ruins of the old world, so I thought I'd make it your souvenir. If it's a good thank you I usually take care of you."

Akira took a handkerchief and accessories from the rucksack, a relic of the old world, and arranged them on the counter.

Shizuka and the others see the lined items as shivers. All three are often associated with relics of the professional old world, so the sight of the relics is higher than that of Akira.

Ask Akira after Elena has made a mild confirmation.

"It looks pretty good, but are you sure you want it?

"I don't mind. Never mind, it's like leftovers selling off expensive artifacts"

"Really? Don't hesitate to do that."

I grabbed the handkerchief and accessories that Sarah was eyeing. Elena and Sizka leak laughter.

"Mr. Sizka. Do you mind if I take a look at the modified parts of the gun?

"Okay. Elena, I'm hungry for relics. Keep my share from Sarah."

Copy that.

"I'm not that hungry."

Elena enjoyed herself and Sarah replied with a bitter smile. Sizka laughed and headed to the back of the store to pick up the remodeled parts.

Akira is chatting with Elena and the others about choosing the modified parts of the gun. Akira brought handkerchiefs and accessories for more than the number of people. Please divide them appropriately between the three of us, Akira said, so Elena and the others continue to consult on those distributions while Akira is consulted.

When Akira purchases the ammo count expansion magazine for the modified parts, she makes the payment and turns it into a rucksack.

Sarah tells Akira that she was smiling in a good mood with dispensed accessories tangled in her hand.

"I got some good stuff, and I need to return something. Is there anything Akira wants to know? Even if it's a hunter operation classified thing right now, it might slip your mouth, right?

Elena points the nail at Sarah, who is in a good mood and tries to speak generously.

"Hey Sarah. Don't even talk about weird, okay?

"I know. The line will be tight. So, what do you got?

To observe from Sarah's attitude, Sarah won't pull unless Akira asks what it is. Akira asks a few thoughts.

"Then tell me how to sell the artifact well"

When Akira asked that, Sarah and Elena gave an unexpected look. Tell Sarah to confirm the intent of Akira's question.

"Whoa, you've been stepping in for a long time. You mean a way to sell higher than throwing a round at a hunter's office boutique, right? To be honest, I'm not familiar with Elena because I leave that area to her..."

Sarah looks at Elena chills and checks on Elena.

How to sell out relics from the old world at a high price. The knowledge is an important skill for exploratory hunters who use artifact collection as their primary hunter operation. The buying side doesn't have an infinite budget either. The purchase price of artifacts varies greatly between demand and supply and endemic (still) obsolescence. There is also the know-how behind getting through other hunters, and there is no hunter who talks so easily (easily) about the knowledge of that hand accumulated from experience.

Given that context, Akira's remarks are somewhat diagrammatic. No wonder Elena got grumpy. Sarah was worried about it.

But Elena quickly realized Akira's intention to ask the question. Elena checks with Akira.

"Akira. That's good to know that if you're a regular hunter, you want to know something common sense, right?

"Yes, because when I appropriately went home and tried to sell the artifacts I found in the traces of the store, there were artifacts that could have been bought or treated as such"

In other words, Akira is less than amateur when it comes to selling artifacts. If Elena and the others understand the rules of the game, know the stones on it, and are polishing their rushing arms, Akira doesn't even know the rules. Elena and the others are totally unwilling to keep it a secret if they have that much knowledge.

Elena smiles and tells Akira.

"I don't mind to that extent. Can I ask you to tell me about the artifact Akira found first?

Akira tells Elena remembering the contents of the found artifact. I told Elena and the others only as much as I remembered on my own, thinking that Alpha would tell me the exact contents, but it would also be unnatural to know all the contents of the found artifact without error.

When Akira tells her that she also found underwear for women, Sarah shows an unexpected amount of eating.

"There was underwear for women!? How long has it been? Do you still have it?

"Shh, excuse me. It wasn't that bad, and I don't have it anymore."

Akira responded with a slight barometric pressure on Sarah's momentum. I'm sorry about Sarah.

"Too bad. When I said something terrific, I wanted you to give it to me if you could."

Answer with a hardened expression like Akira is having a little trouble.

"... am I giving Sarah and the others underwear for women? I don't care if you ask me for such a high degree of difficulty..."

Akira doesn't have that courage.

Sarah speaks to Akira with an invincibly provocative grin.

"If you give it to me, I'll show you my underwear in it, okay?

Sarah's words and actions are half a joke. I mean the other half is serious.

Stop Sarah while Elena gets a little dazed.

"Sarah. Akira's in trouble, isn't she? Find the artifact of that hand yourself. I'm sorry, Akira. Sarah's hungry in her underwear right now because of a little situation."

"Hey Elena, don't make me sound weird."

Sarah told Elena dissatisfied. And I realize Akira has a subtle look on her face, and she talks a little hastily to explain it.

"Akira, aren't you? No, it's true that there are circumstances, but it's not weird. Really?"

Sarah started talking about the circumstances, even though she hadn't even been asked, as if to excuse herself.

Sarah is a physical enhancement augmenter by a nanomachine. As a result, Sarah's body volume varies considerably depending on the amount of nanomachine remaining in her possession, usage, and so on. Sarah's chest, which is particularly the holding place for the spare nanomachine, can change dramatically in its size in a short time.

For this reason, in normal elastic underwear, sometimes it eats into the body so deeply that it compresses the chest excessively, and sometimes it becomes so loose that it slips off. Depending on the compatibility of the underwear worn by Sarah with the nanomachine and with the protective clothing that also has the auxiliary functions of the nanomachine, Sarah has just moved around a little, and the more holes she puts in her underwear, the more worn out she can be.

Sarah needs underwear that is stretchy enough to accommodate the changing body looks of others and that is strong enough to withstand the movement of physical enhancement dilators and the friction of tough (just) materials. The price of underwear that meets the demands not required for such ordinary underwear is naturally high. In addition, the price increases even more if you want comfort, design, etc., and the types and quantities sold are limited.

Underwear created with Old World technology, a relic of the Old World, often lightly satisfies all demands like harassment of such developers. That's why Sarah wants lingerie for women who are relics of the old world. I'm not saying that's true of all the women's underwear found in the ruins of the old world, but the odds are pretty good.

Of course, underwear with the same performance is available, even if it is not a relic of the old world. But the materials and technology used are so advanced that they become expensive.

It is also possible to buy artifacts brought into the shopping area by other hunters, but even ordinary underwear adds a brand called Relics of the Old World to the high quality, so even ordinary people with a high standard of living join the buyer of that underwear, and the selling price is still expensive.

Because of such circumstances, Sarah used it herself without selling it when she found underwear for women in the ruins of the old world. A small amount of spare sheets were secured. But these days Sarah and the others didn't get a chance to go to the ruins of the old world at the request of city entanglements, and even more often traveled on foot and fought monsters.

As a result, Sarah's underwear drained considerably more frequently, and the remaining number of underwear had already reached the danger zone. Worst case scenario, as it is, Sarah has to live without underwear.

Sarah exaggerated a little to tell Akira about her situation. At least I told Akira what I wasn't joking about.

"If that's the case, next time I find it, I'll bring it without selling it"

When Akira answers that, Sarah laughs happily.

"That would help. Bring me underwear with great design. 'Cause I'm gonna put it on and show you."

When Sarah talks like that inviting Akira to do so, she pinches her mouth while Sizka gets a little silly.

"Don't say anything stupid. Buy it right. Akira, you can bring your clothes-based artifacts to me regardless of your underwear. With gun maintenance and dirty work, the demand for durable, dirt-resistant clothing is high, so I'll buy it at the market. 'Cause I'm gonna sell Sarah at a price I've got my profits on."

Sarah asks in a bit of a hurry.

"And the friend price, right?

"It's okay. I'll give you a good lift from my regular plans to scrape the artifact with my mouth."

That said, Sizka smiled a little hard at Sarah. Sarah's expression pulled just a little, and Akira and Elena laughed and watched it.

Sarah regains her mind and asks Akira.

"The point is, we just have to find it ourselves. Can I ask you what ruins you found?

"Eh, it was a hard place to explain......, how can I put it?

Akira tries to explain the location of the site and is confused without thinking of an easy (yasu) way to explain it.

'Alpha. How do you think I should explain this?

"If you're willing to tell me exactly where the ruins are, you can give me the coordinates of the ruins, not the directions."

"Oh well."

'... are you really going to teach me?

"What? Are you smelling something?

Elena sees Akira's confusion in a different way.

"I'm not telling you to remember all the names of the nearby ruins, but you should remember about the names of the ruins you explored. Sometimes when you can explain the origin of the artifact to the seller, the purchase price goes up."

The only sites you can reach on foot from Kugamayama City are Kuzsuhara Street Ruins, but there are numerous ruins that you can reach by car. No wonder Akira can't remember the names of all the ruins. Elena thought so and told Akira that as one of the basics of selling artifacts.

But Akira shakes her head gently to the side before answering.

"If it's the name of a near-field ruin, I remember it right. So this is the site of the ruins..."

"Akira. Stop"

Elena interrupted and stopped Akira trying to talk about the site with a serious look.

Akira gives me a surprising look. Elena and Sarah look inside to confirm the presence of the other hunters. Coincidentally, Akira and the others were the only ones in the store at that time. Elena exhales in relief (mostly). And Elena tells Sizka.

"Sizka. Can I change places?

"Fine. Tell Akira about the area as well as the basics of selling artifacts."

Sizka was also guessing a lot. Akira is the only one who hasn't been able to go about the situation.

Elena tells Akira that she is confused.

"Akira, go on somewhere else......, well, I think it's going to be a long time and we'll talk at our house. Are you okay with your plans?

"Oh, yes. It's okay."

"Then let's go. Sizka, see you later."

Elena and Sarah walk out. Sizka gently waved off Akira, still puzzled.

Akira went straight to Elena and the others' house. It was explained that we would talk about the details later, so we sat in a chair in Elena's room and waited for Elena and the others to finish dressing.

Akira was looking inside Elena and the others' house again. Judging by the number of rooms and the furniture that is placed, it is immediately apparent that Akira's house is an exceptionally good one.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

"So is that."

Since Alpha has noticed, Akira decides to wait very long. Then Elena and the others changed and came back.

Elena, who's been making coffee for three, puts the coffee in front of each of them. And after I sat on the couch, I saw Sarah dressed up and blamed her lightly.

"Sarah, I have a guest, so mind your outfit a little bit more."

"It's not good. Make it look as easy in the house as it is. I don't care if they see me for a little while."

Sarah is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt that hides down to her crotch. The skin appears to be more common from a shirt made quite loosely. And I didn't wear pants or skirts like that.

"Akira cares, not Sarah."

"Really?"

Elena and Sarah look at Akira for consent to the exact opposite content. Both Elena and Sarah have the look of expecting Akira to agree with her opinion. Akira manages to answer as she is pushed by that expectation.

"I'm wearing an easy outfit at home, too, and this is Sarah's house, and I don't mind if Sarah doesn't mind"

Sarah gives me a good look. Elena leaned back reluctantly. Sarah laughs and talks as she looks at that Elena.

"'Cause it's okay. I'm wearing it downstairs."

I mean, I'm not wearing it up there. And the shorts Sarah is wearing are of a seductive design that takes a little courage to wear. Sarah is wearing that underwear because the number and type of underwear she holds has reached the danger zone.

Alpha is in the process of expanding Akira's vision, and he knows exactly what Akira's gaze is and more. I mean, I know more than Akira where Akira is looking.

I also know Akira is working hard to keep her gaze out of Sarah's chest valley skin, which is not hidden because of a mismatch in the size of her clothes, or Sarah's lower abdomen, which, if she moves big, is likely to see underwear. Plus I know that the effort hasn't paid off from time to time.

Based on that information, Alpha asks Akira.

"I knew Akira was wearing porn? The kind that shrivels the other way when you're naked?

"Shut up."

Akira answered in a strong tone, including the lightning.

Elena gets back to business.

"Well, here goes, the ruins Akira's been exploring are probably untapped ruins, right?

The ruins of the Old World, discovered by someone and known to many hunters, are named nature mostly early on. The names appropriately given by the hunters who found the ruins are often spread, as are the place names found in the course of the site search.

Akira said she remembered the name of the nearby ruins. This would mean that the sites Akira explored were relatively recently discovered or newly discovered.

The information on the newly discovered ruins of the Old World, however hidden, is something that will be known to the other hunters in a relatively short time if they do not do so with such advanced cover-up. And more than Elena and the others haven't heard about the recent discovery of a new site, it's more likely that Akira found it herself. Elena was almost sure to ask Akira.

"Maybe it is. It could be another entrance to the extensive ruins."

I usually tell Akira to blame Elena a little.

"You know, Akira, is it dangerous to tell someone that kind of information? Information on the ruins of the untapped Old World. You know what Akira's worth, right?

But Akira answers without changing her attitude.

"No, I don't mind anyone talking to him either. I just thought you wouldn't mind because Elena and the others have a lot to take care of. Even after I dived."

Akira is trying to give Elena and the others the information after understanding the value of the information. Elena and Sarah were quite happy, but Elena first suppresses that feeling and continues the conversation.

"I appreciate that, but there are other reasons. It's dangerous to say things that are judged to hold such information in public places. So is Sizka's, right? No wonder the other guests are hiding and listening."

"Okay. I'll be careful."

Elena heard Akira's reply and found Akira's perception a little sweet. So go on and talk with a serious look.

"If you find out that you know information about an unseen site, change it if you recognize it to such an extent that it is tangled up by other hunters. Depending on the type of ruins, the worst companies are involved. It does not simply seek the relics of the old world, but uses all methods, including the use of force, to occupy the relics and to master and reactivate the facilities. Be careful."

"Okay."

Akira nodded with a serious look. As Elena pointed out, Akira was thinking to the point of being tangled up by other hunters. Akira also doesn't want to turn large companies like those that are members of the Unified Enterprise Union against her enemies. I firmly changed my perception.

I felt Akira's perception changed, and Elena broke her serious look and smiled.
