Rebuild World

Speak as Elena turns up as a negotiator after her attention to Akira.

"Akira is very happy to give us valuable information about the unexplored ruins, but we're hunters, too. I'm tempted to be taught only (just). Plus, Sizka's going to be mad at me later. So I have a proposition for you."

"Is that a suggestion?

"Yes, why don't you join us in exploring the ruins? Sell all the collected artifacts and split them into mountains after deducting the cost of ammunition from that price. If you have an artifact you want, buy it yourself and add it to the cost of distributing it. What do you say?"

Akira thinks a little before answering.

"I don't mind, do you want me to wrap my hands around my feet?

Sarah talks with a laugh.

"'Cause it's okay. We didn't have a problem in the basement of Kuzhara Street Ruins when we acted with Akira. I don't think Akira cares."

Elena laughs and talks too.

"There is no doubt that there will be more credible combat power, so assuming Akira stays around for a little while, we won't be bothered. It's okay."

Akira conceives. Elena and the others are just judging by Akira's prowess when she was in the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. But most of its strength depends on Alpha's support. But there is a chance that the intended ruins will no longer support the Alpha.

In that case, Akira's strength, naturally but externally, decreases dramatically clearly. Would that cause Sarah and Elena a great deal of trouble? Akira was anxious about that.

"Alpha. You think you're gonna be okay?

'As far as I'm concerned, it's helpful that Akira could have trustworthy human support when she can't get my support. That's why I'm not stopping, is it? Good training, too. "

Alpha doesn't seem willing to stop Akira. I'm guessing Akira's presence in Elena's legs will not be a reason for Alpha to stop Akira. And we also seem to have decided that Akira could be a good training if she suddenly loses support for Alpha.

Akira answers Elena and the others with her head down.

"Okay. I'm begging you."

Sarah laughs and talks with great pleasure.

"It's settled. It's been a long time since I've explored the ruins, and almost uninvestigated sites. I'm looking forward to it."

Elena also asks Akira somewhat happily.

"I'll make sure Akira plans when I'm going. Any plans for Akira?

"I'll be all right anytime."

"Really? Then let's do it tomorrow. We need to get ready. Shall we hear from Akira about the ruins or talk about the basics of selling the relics after this so that we can get ready in the night?"

Akira then talked to Elena and the others about information about the ruins, plans for tomorrow, and how to sell the relics.

When Akira began to get used to what could be described as Sarah's provocative outfit, Akira gradually began to turn her attention to Elena's outfit as well.

Sarah is wearing a white shirt. Elena is wearing black based clothes. Elena and Sarah's outfits, sitting side by side on the same couch, contrast a lot.

Elena wore elegant, calm shades of clothing that made her feel intelligent. It is also ladylike at any rate. Elena's skirt has reached near her ankle and looks very long because Sarah is beside her without a skirt in the first place. Compared to Sarah's chest, where her chest valley skin is exposed, Elena has her chest tightly closed to near her neck.

Akira unconsciously compares Elena to Sarah's outfit. Both Sarah and Elena noticed that. That in itself is not uncomfortable for Sarah or Elena. Because neither of us dressed to be uncomfortable with Akira watching us.

But by comparison, I'm a little concerned about Akira's assessment of her outfit. But we're both a little embarrassed to ask Akira directly about that assessment. Sarah and Elena reconfirm their outfits after seeing the other person's outfits once now for comparison.

Based on Elena's outfit, Sarah's outfit is too open. Akira's gaze is occasionally drawn to Sarah's appealing chest, etc., although she is not seen to eat in. Sarah also understands that the cause lies in her outfit.

Sarah wouldn't mind either if Akira had been normal. But every time she saw how Akira was failing after her efforts to keep her gaze away from certain parts of Sarah's body, Sarah was starting to feel a little shy. But Sarah also has a fool to go and change for the right reasons. Elena in particular will definitely say a lot to Sarah later.

Based on Sarah's outfit, Elena's outfit is too stiff. Based on the fact that heterosexual guests are at home, it is certain that Elena chose clothes with a lot of fabric. If there are no guests, Elena often dresses more sloppily than Sarah. Sometimes Elena manipulates the information terminal in an outfit that just wrapped a bath towel around her or hung on both shoulders. Taking such a sense of self into account, Elena had chosen clothes that firmly concealed her skin so that even if there was a slight deviation in consciousness with the other person, she would not look ugly.

But when compared to Sarah's outfit, Elena also seems to be over-conscious in her outfit. And Elena's somewhat uninteresting that Akira's gaze goes all the way to Sarah's. Elena also understands that Sarah's physique and outfit have an easy-to-understand appeal, but Elena was also confident in her body.

But to guide Akira's gaze, she can't open her chest and give her legs out for good reason either. Sarah in particular will definitely say a lot to Elena later.

Let's think a little more about tomorrow's outfit and decide. Elena and Sarah came to the same conclusion, though in the opposite direction. And we both kept talking to Akira, taking care not to let Akira notice its inside.

Akira tilted her neck a little when she saw the two men who had subtly changed their attitude, but she didn't even know why on the boulder.

The next morning, Akira was driving for a rendezvous point with Elena and the others. The rendezvous point is a wilderness halfway between the ruins of the intended old world and the city of Kugamayama.

Akira thought it might be okay to rendezvous near the ruins and the city, but decided to follow Elena's instructions. Elena's description seems to proceed a little cautiously so that no other hunter can find her, considering that her destination is an almost uninvestigated site.

Akira arrived at the rendezvous point just before the scheduled rendezvous time. Elena and the others have not arrived yet.

Alpha dresses like no other in the wilderness in the passenger seat of the car. That alpha speaks to Akira with a slightly more serious look.

'Akira. I'll check again while I'm at it, but you're okay, right?

'Oh. You're gonna try today without Alpha's support, aren't you? It's okay.'

There's something about Akira that makes her feel natural these days with the support of Alpha. If that Akira suddenly loses Alpha support, can she act with calm? Alpha questioned that point and decided to train so that Akira could act calmly without Alpha's support.

I have visited once, but since there are still a lot of unexplored parts, I can explore sites that require sufficient vigilance (to) with the support of a trusted hunter. The training has just the right conditions.

I can't say Akira isn't anxious at all either. But courage and readiness are in charge of Akira. Akira answers Alpha firmly without expressing anxiety.

"It's a good opportunity to review my strengths. Do it. '

'Okay. Let's get started. Good luck.'

Alpha answered and smiled gently at Akira. At the next moment, Alpha disappeared from Akira's sight. At the same time, the movement of the fortified clothes worn by Akira becomes slightly dull. Alpha's support is gone.

Akira wears the goggles on her forehead securely. The goggles are accessories to Akira's comprehensive ERPS information-gathering equipment integrated reinforced clothing power silence, and are also display devices for obtaining information display. It also has a simple telescopic feature, which can also improve the accuracy of gathering information around the area after enlarging that location when you look at any location. Furthermore, the information terminal can also be linked, and some operation can be carried out by using a gaze input apparatus.

A lot of useful goggles, but exceptionally inferior to the support provided by Alpha's vision expansion. Akira was quickly reaffirming the benefits of Alpha's support.

When Akira is operating the information terminal with a gaze input, the reaction of the moving body approaching this one is displayed in the goggle. When Akira looked in that direction and looked at the subject, she saw the car approaching this way in the enlarged footage. Elena and the others.

When Akira waved to Elena and the others, Sarah, sitting in the passenger seat, waved to respond.

'It's the right time. There's no wonder you're pretty late for an encounter with a monster, but you can often arrive at the right time. Oh, is that among hunters' strengths? What do you think of Alpha?

Yes, I ask Alpha but she doesn't get back to me. So Akira thought she was in training.

"... it was. Uh, too."

Akira appropriately misdemonized the unexpected loneliness.

Joining Elena and the others, Akira continues behind the leading Elena to the ruins of her destination.

Akira and the others are not simply aiming for a destination, but on a slightly farther route towards the ruins of their destination. Once you go through the wilderness in a different direction from the ruins, flip along the way and aim for the ruins on the route where the city is present in the direction of travel. To make it harder to infer the location of the site from the travel route. Akira, who had previously returned to the city on an almost straight route towards the ruins, could be said to have been a little far-fetched.

Sarah, sitting in the passenger seat, looks at Elena's outfit in the driver's seat and talks.

"Hey, Elena"

"What?"

"Didn't you hate Elena for that protective clothing?

The protective clothes Elena wears are of a kind that adheres to her body. As a result, Elena's slender body lines appear stronger than her previous clothes. And the parts of the body that are easy to gather men's gaze are slightly accentuated by the belt for fixing the equipment. Not as abundant as Sarah, but to an average extent, both Elena and her breasts look larger.

Elena responds under the guise of calm.

"... I don't hate anything else. I was just not wearing too much because of the flexibility and elasticity of the protective clothing material, which made it difficult to move and fatigue. I just started wearing it again because the problem can be solved with physical enhancement if I wear fortified clothes underneath. The defense is better this way. Explore the ruins of an almost uninvestigated old world, so just be careful."

"Yes."

"Yes."

A little silence flowed between Elena and Sarah.

Elena looks at Sarah's outfit and asks.

"Hey, Sarah."

"What?"

"Wasn't it not compatible with the shirt Sarah was wearing downstairs, the protective clothing?

Sarah is wearing a shirt under her protective clothes. It's not a relic of the old world, but it's a relatively rugged material for female hunters, and it's quite a value for money. But it's not compatible with Sarah's protective clothing. It should be something that hurts quickly. As a result, Sarah had recently reopened and either not put on her shirt or had her chest zipper wide open to reduce the extent of her shirt damage. But Sarah is closing the zipper tightly today. The shirt will soon be useless.

"... if it's incompatible and useless, I just reconsidered that it's useless to leave it behind. Since we've resumed our search for the ruins, there's a chance we'll find a sturdy inner relic for women."

"Yes."

"Yes."

A little silence flowed between Elena and Sarah.

Sarah, dressed with skin exposure lower than yesterday, and Elena, dressed with stronger body lines than yesterday, remained silent for the ruins of their purpose.

Akira and the others have arrived at the intended ruins. When the car is stopped in the shadow of debris close to the entrance, the car is allowed to cover the camouflage sheet so that it is not discovered by monsters or the like, and the camouflage is finished. And I stood in front of the stairs getting geared up and going down to the basement.

Elena and Sarah take an interesting peek into the back of the stairs leading to the basement. Sarah is peeking behind the stairs with her eyes full of anticipation and feels a little overwhelmed. Elena checks the surrounding scenery together.

I think of it as Elena remembers the description of the ruins she heard from Akira yesterday.

(I wonder how Akira found this ruin? Are you sure it was just a coincidence?

It is certain that the entrance to the ruins in front of you is difficult to find on the terrain. But to this extent, hunters looking for ruins and exploring the wilderness are likely to discover them first.

So the monster came out of the back of the stairs recently, and the entrance opened in the process? Then there should be monsters roaming around.

According to Akira's description, there are no monsters on the ground of the site and in Akira's exploratory range. Elena herself confirmed that there were no monsters on the ground. We also confirmed that there were no signs of monsters coming out of the stairs or around them.

Elena assumes. It is assumed that the entrance to the ruins was inherently in a very difficult state to discover, buried in rubble (bristles) without markings. Suppose Akira discovered it using clear information and means. It's information and means that even skilled hunters and companies don't have with them, and it's not most commonplace. But Elena had an idea of the means.

(Akira is probably an old realm connector. Suppose that technology allows us to retrieve information about the ruins from our network in the old world?

If that assumption is correct, Akira will have a large amount of information on the precious poles. That's why large companies try to secure the old realm connectors as a valuable asset. Sometimes even by ignoring the will and personality of the person. It gave Elena a stronger affirmation of that assumption.

Elena looks at Akira on the side. Akira was looking behind the stairs next to Sarah.

(Assuming we take Akira...)

An emotional part of Elena is crying out to interrupt and abort that thought right now. But the rational and cold part doesn't matter. Continue to think and deepen.

How much wealth would Elena and the others gain if they could seduce Akira, cage her and gain the power of the old realm connectors? Just the location of the undiscovered ruins dotted in the east would be a lot of money if you sold them off to your corporate counterpart. The ruins of a huge warehouse where the relics of the old world sleep in mountains. Old world factories and research facilities that make it possible to create that artifact. If you get them and sell them, you'll get enough huge (crude) gold to buy one or two of the cities lightly.

Fortunately, Akira's trust in Elena and the others looks high. No wonder they think you're inviting Akira yesterday. There will be many ways to consider Akira's reaction to seeing Sarah dressed. Akira is still young and awkward as a hunter. If Elena and the others were given convenient knowledge to wrap it up, and rounded it up with means including colored incense, would it likely go well? Elena deepens her ideas.

Elena is not a saint prince either. There is greed in the crowd. That greed causes Elena to begin scrutinizing hypothetical means.

"Elena. What's wrong?

Elena, who was deepening her thoughts, returned to me in Sarah's voice. Akira and Sarah look at Elena a little worried.

Elena regained her mind and smiled.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking a lot. It's been a long time since I've explored the ruins, and they're almost uninvestigated. Maybe he was a little nervous. It's okay."

(A person who is a benefactor of life and gives valuable information. What would you do if you betrayed my trust in that person? Will Sarah bust me if I treat Akira that way before then)

Elena mocked herself lightly and threw away her nagging thoughts, which were just behind her brain.

Akira and the others head down the stairs to the back of the ruins. Sarah's in charge of the forward alert, Akira's in charge of the rear alert, and Elena's in charge of the overall alert.

Elena and the others are tightly illuminating the aisle with lighting. The strong light in the darkness tells the monsters where Elena and the others are. But since monsters who live (or live) underground darkness often recognize their opponents outside of simple sight in the first place, they decided to point the lighting at Elena's discretion.

Elena and the others point the lights in order to inform other hunters who may be in the same ruins of their existence. Hunters don't mistake each other for monsters. And also to discern those who are likely enemies. This one lights up and exposes its existence, but if the other side doesn't, it can't help but be judged to be the presence of an enemy that is about to ambush us.

Of course (of course), it's to some extent a matter of hunter preference. Some of the ruins of the old world that we don't even know who our enemies are, other hunters don't want to find us. I'm just talking about taking the risk of being found and attacked, or the risk of being misunderstood as an enemy.

Akira and the others are progressing through the ruins at a fairly fast footing. Because the aisle is relatively promising and there is no sign of a monster.

In front of Akira is Elena's rear as she walks a little further ahead of Akira.

Elena is equipped with numerous information-gathering devices to tighten her body with a belt for fixing. The convenience of the arrangement of the information-gathering equipment equipped and the nature of the material of the protective clothing worn emphasize the shape of the attractive parts of Elena's body, which is very attractive.

Akira has neither the time nor the leeway to indulge in Elena's seductive (frightening) hindsight. Because we have no Alpha support, so we have all our hands full to keep the perimeter alert.

Akira constantly checks the surrounding foe results shown on her goggles, looking back again and again to see behind her visually. I'm also putting up a gun and checking the footage over the aimer.

Seeing how Akira can't afford that little bit, Elena gently tells Akira.

"Akira. You wouldn't hold a lot if you were so nervous, would you? Calm down a little. Be a little more distracted because I'm doing my perimeter checks right too."

"Yes. Excuse me."

Akira took a deep breath to calm down and followed Elena.

Elena is a little surprised to see Akira.

(You're more nervous than you were in the basement of the ruins of Kuzhara Street. I'm exploring the unexplored ruins, so there are some aspects I can't help but be alert to excessive...)

Still, given Akira's strength, which Elena assumes, Akira's attitude is a little daunting.

(... well, given Akira's age (suppose) and hunter history, naturally? Shikarabe was there then, and if we hurried home, we'd be able to rendezvous with the other hunters. Is it any wonder I'm more nervous then? Just follow us.)

Elena rethought so and continued her search for the ruins without any further concern.

Akira and the others reached the hall where Akira turned back last time without a thing. Sarah makes her eyes shine when she sees the trail of the shop in the hall.

"That sounds like a lot of good shopping trails. This is perfect if you have plenty of artifacts."

Akira tells Sarah a little spicy.

"Uh, that's where I brought it up before, so I was wondering if it wasn't there anymore."

But Sarah speaks without changing her expression.

"Really? Sort of good. Elena, keep an eye out. Akira, help me."

Sarah goes inside the shop trail. Elena stands at the entrance to the store and remains on perimeter alert. Akira followed Sarah.

Sarah looks around the store with Akira. Akira has already been searched, so there are no busy items left on the shelves in the store. At least that's what Akira looked like.

Akira talks after she and Sarah have finished checking the store all the way through.

"I don't have any busy artifacts and would you like to go back?

"What are you talking about? I'll take back everything that's going to be expensive, okay?

Sarah smiled. Akira looks strange.

"What are you taking home?

"That's it."

Point to the item Sarah brings home. When Akira looked in that direction, there was something on the display shelf that seemed to be dried up and becoming dust. Akira's expression deepened the color of her confusion more and more.

Akira and the others were returning to the aisle carrying the artifacts they had put in the trolley. On the foldable trolley is a display shelf with dust (dust) that was groceries. Sarah and I took the shelf out of the store.

The sound of the wheels of the trolley echoes in the aisle.

Look at the shelves Akira is carrying as she pushes the trolley.

"... surely this shelf is also a relic of the old world"

Sarah talks when she hears Akira whining.

"Basically everything in the ruins of the Old World is a relic of the Old World, right? That's the fragment of a broken wall. Whether the difference with commonly thought artifacts would be high if taken home. That's all."

"Is this shelf going to be expensive too?

Sarah answers well.

"It's possible. At least not as much as we'd like to take home."

I'm not doubting Sarah's words, but I'm not convinced enough about the rationale. Seeing Akira with that look on her face, Elena supplements Sarah's description.

"Product shelves in stores in the old world, especially for groceries, may have advanced quality retention features. In that case, they can sell for a lot of money."

"Is it a quality retention feature? But the food-like stuff was dusty, and I think it's broken..."

"It simply doesn't have a power source, it may not have malfunctioned as a device, or it may have malfunctioned enough to be easily repaired. Even if it's perfectly broken, it can be sold as research material."

"Oh, I see"

"The question is how to tell if it's an artifact that has that kind of function, but this is all going to be my experience as a hunter. Even if it only looks like a regular box, there are cases where there is an awesome quality retention feature. If you find any boxed artifacts, I suggest you take them home with you."

Akira was also convinced by Elena's explanation. That also shows up in Akira's expression. Elena laughed a little better at it when she saw it.

Afterwards Akira and the others finish exploring the site without any problems. Akira and the others travel back and forth between the car and the shop trail to bring out the store's supplies. Unload the carrier that was folding into Elena's car and packing it. It is an assembled carrier that can be towed in a vehicle. Load the cargo carriers with the artifacts. Then tow the carrier in Elena's car and leave the ruins to return to the city.

On their way back to the city, Akira and the others were to split up second-hand and return to the city just as they had gone.

Akira is consulting with Elena and the others via an information terminal on how to redeem the artifact. Elena confirms with Akira over the information terminal.

"Are you sure you can leave the way you sell the artifact to me? In some cases, it'll take about a month to redeem, right?

"I don't mind. I don't need the money right away, and Elena and the others are going to sell it for a very high price."

"Pfft. All right. There are faces I taught Akira about the means of selling artifacts, and wait in anticipation."

Elena's invincible laughter is heard over the information terminal. Go on. Sarah's voice.

"We got some artifacts that were going to be expensive, there were no monsters, and it was a good ruin. Would you like to explore with me again?

"It's good. When will you be next?

"Right. We have plans, as soon as possible, after next week. I'll call you later. Bye."

I lost my call with Sarah and the others. Akira exhales gently and then speaks looking at the passenger seat.

"Alpha"

"What?"

At the same time as Alpha's reply, the figure of Alpha sitting in the passenger seat appears. Akira's expression on Alpha's face is slightly tense (frightening). That's because Akira, who had anticipated the situation, put more effort into her facial expressions so that she wouldn't change her expression consciously.

Akira tried to say something to Alpha and shut her mouth.

Alpha, who notices Akira's subtle psychological state, tells Akira with meaningful nibbling.

"Did you miss me?

"... yes!

I didn't want to lie to Alpha, so Akira answered strongly to misdemonize (sesame seeds) with momentum. Alpha is deepening her grin when she sees it.

Looking sideways at Alpha laughing in a good mood, Akira returned to the city with a slightly sluggish look, increasing the speed of the car a lot.

There were people watching Akira running back into the wilderness from a distance.

"Gone?

"Oh. You'll be fine now"

"Good. We'll find traces of their wheels and we'll go backwards."

The man takes on the telescope he was using to observe Akira. It's a pretty big telescope.

"Didn't you have to distance yourself from them so much that you had to use such a big one?

"Say stupid. They're hunters, too. If they find out we've been searching for the location of the uninvestigated ruins, it wouldn't be weird for them to come and kill us. It's just as careful as it gets."

"Thanks to you, I've had a tough time finding traces of those wheels, though. Number one, did those guys really find the uninvestigated ruins? The rationale is yours, isn't it?

The other guy is surprised. The other man says it back with the look of May.

"I told you why. There were no famous ruins in the wrong direction then. So he said he could be on his way back from the newly discovered ruins."

They are hunters. And Akira was the wrong ones on the last site expedition. They felt that Akira was on her way back to the city from the unseen ruins due to Akira's direction of travel, how to distance her opponent when she was mistaken, and the prudence of the opponent judging from it.

Of course (of course), the basis for that judgment material is thin. It's not strange to be called just a reckoning. All I'm saying is that Akira was unlucky when the man's inquiry was lucky enough to be sharp and learned about the ruins from traces to that extent.

"This time the route was different."

"If you changed the route on purpose with the last time, you mean you don't want that much to know where you're going?

"Then you changed it last time, didn't you?

"One mess, one mess! Oh, yeah! It's my fault! If you don't like it, go home!

A man got grumpy all at once. The other man talks like Yoo.

"Don't be so angry. I'm guessing this is how you hang out because I believe in your conundrum, huh? I'm sorry."

The man laughed naggingly, losing his mood and following him silently toward a car that was parked (and) nearby.

"Whatever, if there really is an uninvestigated ruin, it would be a grand grab. Instead of being able to play and live for the time being, you can even buy a house inside the fence. I just wanted a topic that would give you possibilities. Don't be angry."

"... Hmm. Let's go."

They then rendezvoused with fellow watchers elsewhere. They used the information gathering equipment they had brought to discover the traces of Akira's wheels, walked backwards through the traces of the wheels or anticipated places where ruins from the old world might exist, and arrived in the rubble zone where Akira found them.

Elena was also careful to make it difficult to see the signs of movement. Still, it is more luck than their strength that they were able to reach the ruined rubble zone without missing a trace. With normal odds, they wouldn't have gotten there.

Whether that luck bias is lucky or unlucky is yet to be confirmed.
