Rebuild World

Cheryl was hard pressed against his noisy men.

Sudden flashes and explosions. The falling Dales. Akira and Guiba to start engaging. Monsters approaching. There are many elements that make Cheryl and the others confused.

Cheryl had calmed the scene by forcing his men to shut up without breaking his fortitude. But I don't know how long it will last either. Intermittent gunshots continue. That tells Cheryl and the others that the battle is ongoing. Cheryl's men are approaching their limits.

Cheryl looks around and keeps looking for Akira. And we finally found Akira running toward us. There is also no appearance of injury.

Cheryl exhales in peace.

"Akira will be back. I'm gonna ask you what's going on. Just wait."

When Cheryl tells his men that, they immediately see Akira too. Seeing Akira safe, they also managed to regain their composure.

Cheryl gets off the carrier and tries to head under Akira (originally). Along the way, Sebra stood up and wandered.

Cheryl also noticed how that Sebra was doing in the process of looking for Akira, but she didn't care at all. Because it doesn't matter to Cheryl, like Sebra's life or death.

Akira is relieved first to make sure Cheryl and the others are safe. All we have to do is wait for Dale and the others to finish defeating the monsters.

I also thought about joining Dale and the others, but just in case, I decided to keep Cheryl and the others' escorts high priority. If Akira hadn't gotten out of the car, this hassle might not have happened. You should be mindful. Akira decided so.

Cheryl is heading towards Akira. There is a fluttering sebra nearby. I guess Akira didn't care much that she hadn't recovered from Stangrenade's influence yet. And the decision was a mistake.

As soon as Cheryl tried to pass next to Cebra, Cebra grabbed (or drew) Cheryl's arm and poked the gun she had at Cheryl.

"Don't move!

Sebra yelled at Akira in desperate shape.

Sebra had already recovered almost (mostly) from the effects of Stangrenade. What was blunting his movements are confusion, confusion and fear.

Sebra had made a deal with Guiba to betray Cheryl and the others. He was planning to kill Akira and the others with Guba and take the artifacts and equipment and split them into mountains. Sebra knew that Guba had shot Dale's car, that he had installed some kind of device to lure the monsters over, and that he had a chance to kill Akira and the others.

Sebra had passed out due to the impact of the stun grenade, but had regained consciousness relatively quickly. He kept falling to the ground, very confused but trying to grasp a little bit of the situation around him.

But what Sebra was able to grasp is only a very small degree of anticipation. I hear gunshots. Maybe someone is fighting something. There are no bodies of Akira and the others. That's why Akira and the others are alive. Perhaps Guiba is fighting Akira and the others. That's about all Sebra could grasp.

And Sebra saw Akira coming back alone. Sebra, who saw it, distorted her face. Perhaps Guiba was killed. But what matters to Sebra is not Guiba's life or death. Whether Akira found out that Sebra was betraying Cheryl and the others, that she was trying to kill Akira and the others.

Akira saw Sebra chilling simply to see how Sebra was doing. But it just seemed to Sebra that Akira, who had heard of her betrayal from Guba, was trying to kill herself.

Sebra is a wolf and frightened by the fear of death. I see Cheryl in that Sebra's sight. I couldn't think of any other means for Sebra anymore. Sebra grabbed Cheryl's arm reflexively.

Without even thinking about the meaning of my actions.

Sebra is confronting Cheryl with Akira for the hostages. Sebra's expression is distorted by fear. Arms with guns are trembling and very dangerous.

Cheryl speaks in a strong tone of hostility towards Sebra.

"You know what happens after you do this, don't you?

"Ugh! Shut up! Shut up!

Sebra shouted out loud and pressed the muzzle hard against Cheryl.

Akira tells Cheryl to calm down.

"Cheryl, don't irritate him. It's dangerous. Quiet, calm down, keep your mouth shut, and don't do anything extra. All right?"

Cheryl even thought about poking surprises and rambling them, but Akira told her to, so she grows up and shuts her mouth as instructed.

Sebra felt a subtle change in Cheryl's attitude, with a slight grin on her tense, drawn face.

"Oh, yeah! Shut the fuck up! Keep it grown up!

Sebra felt her own advantage and regained margin, albeit slightly. But the room will soon disappear. The margin of birth makes the situation reaffirm. The desperate situation of confronting Akira with a gun.

Sebra's gaze is on Akira's gun. Sebra screams at Akira.

"Drop the gun! Right away!

Akira thinks a little as she stares at Sebra. Attention Akira, Sebra hangs out. Sebra's tension grows.

Shortly before Sebra's nervousness broke, there was a sound of the gun falling to the ground. Akira dumped the gun.

Akira won't throw the gun away. That's what Alpha was thinking. Alpha sees Akira with an unexpected look on her face.

"Hey Akira!?

Akira did not answer Alpha's question and was silently concentrating her consciousness on Sebra.

Cheryl has a surprise look on her face when she sees Akira throwing away her gun. Akira won't throw the gun away. Cheryl thought so. Akira doesn't care about herself that much. Cheryl thought so.

Without abandoning herself, Akira is trying to help herself until she runs the risk of abandoning her gun in front of her enemies. Cheryl learned such strong joy that she was about to cry out. Because I pulled my leg, I'm letting Akira imitate me dangerously enough to throw the gun away. Cheryl remembered such a strong sorrow that she was about to cry.

Various emotions overflow (flush) out of Cheryl's eyes, and tears are zero (spill) out of Cheryl's cheeks.

Sebra looks at Akira, who dumped her gun, and she grins downright. I followed what Akira said very carefully. That gives Sebra room again and lets her decide that she has an advantage over her opponent. It even seemed that Akira, who was staring at herself, stood up for nothing.

Sebra also had the choice to keep Cheryl hostage and run away. But the fear, jealousy, and hostage-taking advantage of Akira in Sebra makes Sebra choose a more aggressive choice.

Now Akira doesn't have a gun. Now I can kill Akira. With that in mind, Sebra pointed the muzzle at Cheryl toward Akira and pulled the trigger.

Akira caught the bullet fired.

Akira held on to Sebra's move to shoot herself. Concentrating on his consciousness, he understood the behavior of the slow-moving Sebra, feeling the distortion (yuga) in his body time. Akira had almost accurately read the timing of the shooting of the bullet from the direction of the muzzle that Sebra pointed at herself from the change in the expression of the finger hanging on the trigger and Sebra.

Akira was aware of the distortions in her body's time, which allowed her to spare Sebra's shooting.

Akira quickly packs the distance from Sebra while Sebra's muzzle is off Cheryl. I grabbed Cheryl with my right hand, so I pulled from Sebra, grabbed Sebra's gun with my left hand, and kicked Sebra with my right leg.

Sebra had no time to be surprised (at all) that Akira had avoided the bullet and had been blown away by the shock of a kick eaten in her abdomen.

I noticed that Cheryl, who returned to me, was being held by Akira with her right arm at some point. Understanding that she had been helped, Cheryl held Akira hard as she was.

Sebra is nowhere near returning to me. Sebra continued to be confused by the sudden change of circumstances, with severe abdominal pain clapping at it. He held his abdomen by his hand and circled over the ground.

Akira looked at the gun she took from Sebra on her left, but throws that gun with her de-interested eyes. The gun Sebra was using was the one Giuba gave her. I don't know what kind of work is being done. I didn't feel like using that gun. Akira went back a little while holding Cheryl and picked up her own gun.

Akira points a gun at Sebra. Sebra and Akira look each other in the eye. The reason why Sebra's expression was not cruel and distorted changed from severe abdominal pain kicked with fortified clothes to fear of death. Akira didn't change her expression especially when she saw it, and tried to pull the trigger as it was, interrupting it.

Akira asks Cheryl, who is holding onto her.

"Cheryl's men for once? Cheryl, what do we do?

"Kill me."

Cheryl answered Akira's question instantly. There was no hesitation. To Cheryl, keeping Sebra alive is nothing more than evil. I took Cheryl hostage and pointed a gun at Akira. The former is also a horn, the latter is absolutely unacceptable. Unless Akira tells you she'll help.

Akira looks at Sebra again. In Akira's eyes looking at Sebra, her anger and hostility toward Sebra was faint. Still, Sebra realized she couldn't help herself anymore.

Various thoughts rush around the back of Sebra's brain. The difference between Sebra and Akira. The difference between two people who should have lived the same life until a while ago. The difference between Sebra and Akira, which has now become a completely different being. Sebra exhales a length of thought close to crying.

"Damn... you were just a little lucky!... Me and yours, what's the difference!?

Akira's finger stops trying to pull the trigger. After a brief silence, Akira answers Sebra's question.

"You're saying the answer yourself. That's right. You're out of luck."

That's all I said. Akira pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced Sebra's torso and in a few seconds Sebra was out of breath.

I think when I see Sebra's body with Akira's thoughtless look on her face. Would I have died the same way if I hadn't met Alpha? Akira immediately denied the question. Even if someone shoots me to death, that must be another reason. Think about it.

Dale and the others came back after taking down the monster temporarily. Peel off Cheryl as Akira holds herself. Cheryl also leaves Akira with great care.

Akira who hasn't loosened her guard. Cheryl leaving tear marks. Sebra's body. That there is no appearance of Guiba on this occasion. Dale and the others look at them and make their expressions look bad.

Dale and the others lower their guns and approach Akira. Dale looks around again and then tells Akira.

"I want to get a grip on the situation first. Do you mind?"

"Oh."

Akira and the others talked to Dale and the others to match each other's information and perceptions. Dale shrugged after checking the situation.

"That bastard is kidding. But what the ambushed side says is that he often fights all of us. Didn't you have any idea what would happen if the ambush failed? Were you so confident in the ambush?

Wonder as Dale puts his anger at Guiba on his face. Dale acts with Guiba in the ruins of the old world. I'm also going to have some idea of Guba's prowess. In Dale's senses, Guiba was not that strong a hunter.

Corbe answers Dale's question.

"... maybe it's the debt."

"Debt? Was he in debt?

"Oh. Looks like he had a pretty big forehead debt. It seems that this collection of relics was the responsibility of its repayment"

Dale gives me a disgusting look.

"No way, you gave up (quit) because you no longer owe me repayment? Robbing our artifacts and Cheryl's artifacts and selling them off, turning them into debt repayments, or spending them on high-flying trips, or something like that. He was trying to rush ahead by neglecting his enemies inside the ruins because he was so desperate to find them..."

Dale tries to match the information he gets. It's all just a prediction. Guiba is already dead, so we don't know what's really going on.

Akira pinches her mouth.

"Take your time with Tsuji later. Time to leave."

Corbe stops Akira and the others trying to get back in the car.

"Oh, wait. Hey, you got a second? … a little spicy."

"What?"

"I'd like to bring back Guiba's body if possible. Yeah, I've got a body bag for you, so I'm not gonna pollute your car.... can't you?

That's what Corbe asked Akira and the others to do. I guess Corbe knows it's a favor to break Akira and the others' mood. Cheryl and Dale's expression is now turning blatantly grumpy.

Dale talks disgustingly toward Corbe.

"Leave me alone. Soon the monsters will eat us and disappear from the world without a trace. You deserve to die, don't you?

"I don't know much about him. Besides, I was about to be eaten by a monster, and that kind of thing is a little..."

If leaving the body behind is to blame, you can also dig a hole and bury it. Akira bothers to ask Corbe why she brings back the body and asks him that simple question.

"What are you gonna do with that guy's body back home? You're gonna look inside and give it to me, too?

"No, turn it over to the hunter's office. If Hunter's office registration information included contact details at the time of death, he would contact them. I wish my contacts were registered. The hunter's office is solemnly responsible for handling corpses. Just in case, the hunter's office also recommends handing over the body of the accompanying hunter to the hunter's office in order to reduce the number of missing hunters?

That is also one of the efforts being made by the Unified Enterprise to improve Hunter's ethics. And it's also more convenient to be able to distinguish between missing persons and deaths, which makes administrative procedures a lot easier. Missing hunters are mostly dead, but that's why they don't treat them like death on their own either. We need to take quite a few steps and set aside a period of time. With clear evidence that he's dead, I mean, with a body, we can simplify the procedures around there a lot.

Corbe continues with a bitter laugh.

"Well, it's a recommendation, not a compulsion. But I do recommend it. When we talk practical, the hunter's office remembers better when we worry about that kind of well-behaved behaviour. A legitimate company should pay attention to the personality of the hunters they hire. Especially if one of the hunters attacked another hunter, he doesn't have to be treated the same way if something happens. At least, it's less likely to be seen as one of a kind. You know, everyday stuff."

Dale roars when he hears Corbe explain. It has enough to do with Dale, too. Corbe keeps talking to Akira and the others.

"I can understand your mood. So, it's not in return, but I'm going to give Cheryl and the others my share of the relics of the old world that we collected. If you sell it, it should be the money there."

Cheryl pinches her mouth. Because the money there for the Corbes is big enough for Cheryl and the others.

"Do you want to?

"Oh, I'm making a lot of noise in the first place. Pull your legs in the hall. If you buy an escort and get out, they will attack your allies. The body of the attacking party is being transported to a person on the attacked side. It's no wonder you're angry and left behind on this occasion. So, well, tell him to keep his anger down with that money."

That's what Corbe says and sees Dale chilling. Dale talks as if he wandered and noticed.

"... I get it. In a way, I'm guilty of the same crime. I'll do my share of the artifact."

Cheryl takes the confirmation.

"Are you sure you want to?

"Oh, I'm sorry they left me, too."

Dale replied with a bitter smile.

Cheryl sees Akira to confirm Akira's intentions. Akira answers.

"Isn't that good? Give me what I can get."

If Akira doesn't mind, Cheryl doesn't have a problem. Cheryl bows her head gently and says yes.

"Okay. If that's what you mean, thank you."

"I'm sorry. All right. I'll be done in a minute. Just give me a minute."

That's what Corbe answered and headed alone to recover Guiba's body.

Akira and the others, who had finished loading Guba's body, immediately set off for the city of Kugamayama.

After Akira and the others left behind only the body of one monster and the body of Sebra.

Although there was a lot of trouble, Akira and the others came back to Kugamayama City. It will depend on each interpretation whether or not you have returned safely.

Akira parked her car outside the city of Kugamayama. Near the border between Slam Street and the wilderness. So Dale and I broke up after a light greeting. Corbe leaves in charge of a body bag containing Guiba's body. Dale also left straight for the subdivision of the city.

Cheryl returned to base once with his men. He had instructed his men who remained at the base to carry the artifacts loaded on the carrier to the base.

Akira sat in the driver's seat and waited for Cheryl's men to finish carrying the artifact from the carrier to the stronghold.

"Hey, Akira."

"What?"

See Akira sitting in the passenger seat Alpha. Alpha remains in her swimsuit. As usual, the outfit is inconsistent with the surrounding sights, but it's time for Akira to start getting used to it, so I won't change her expression otherwise. At least not until Alpha turns into another outfit.

Ask Akira like Alpha has nothing. But that's an important question for Alpha.

"It was when you helped Cheryl, but why did you throw the gun away?

Akira did not abandon her gun when Raina was taken hostage in the basement of the ruins of Kuzhara Street. Until then, if you tell me Rayna and Cheryl are different. But for Alpha's sake, Alpha doesn't have a problem with Akira dying.

If someone is in Akira trying to help even in exchange for his own life, Alpha has to do something about it.

Akira answers a little well.

'Avoidable without problems. Because I was so sure. No, you're not. Because you wanted to make sure of that. There were times when I was fighting Guiba, but it was the first time I had avoided that Sebra attack that I could consciously reproduce the feeling that that time would be compressed. When I was training with Alpha, I guess I couldn't be good (well) because I understand somewhere that eating an attack would never kill me. But I could do it once. I think we can be more precise from now on'

"What were you going to do if you failed?

"At that time, Alpha was forced to manipulate the fortified clothes, and did something about it? You would have done it when Guiba attacked you from behind, wouldn't you?... Could it have been in a state where you couldn't do that?

Akira's expression hardens a little. If so, Akira would have been pretty life-threatening. Alpha answers Akira, who is making her look attractive.

'That's okay. Akira was absolutely right, and I was on the verge of forcing Akira to move and avoid shooting. Although Akira moved herself before that. I suppose Akira's explanation is why Sebra's attack can be avoided, and not why she dumps the gun?

Akira answers looking a little strange.

"That would be safer to kill, wouldn't it?

supplement as Akira noticed something afterwards.

'Oh, I was sure I wouldn't get killed if I dumped my gun. That's why I threw my gun away. If I can help you safely, I can. Things aren't the same as they were in that underground area. I wouldn't do that if I wasn't sure. "

Akira didn't have any shards (pieces) to die of. Alpha understood that. Alpha smiles (ho ho) as usual after checking and resolving concerns.

'I don't mind if it's not reckless behavior before suicide. I know you do, but if Akira dies, you're in trouble. What I help Akira with is the advance payment of the reward for my request. I mean, a loan to Akira.' Cause Akira died before she could fulfill her request, and I'm not gonna let her step down on the loan. '

"I know. A lot happened this time, but I should have gotten stronger for that, and that should have made it easier to accomplish Alpha's request. So give me a break. '

Akira and Alpha told each other that jokingly.

While Akira continues to chat with Alpha, Cheryl's men are carrying the artifacts back from the car carrier.

Cheryl and the others carrying the relics are quite noticeable due to the fact that some of the relics are slightly larger. But sometimes they were being carried out of Hunter's car carrier, and no one attacked Cheryl and the others.

Because taking that artifact is hostile to that hunter. For such reasons, Cheryl and the others were carrying relics safely, even through the territory of other Slam Street inmates.

Akira tells Alpha remembering her battle with Guba.

'Nevertheless, that was good with the stun grenade. Ordinary grenade bullets would have been dangerous. No, Stangrenade was dangerous enough.'

'You simply didn't have it, or maybe you couldn't give it to me thinking about getting yourself involved. Thanks to you, though. I'm glad it rained. "

"What does it have to do with it being rainy?

"Precisely because of the strong influence of colorless fog in the rain (because). Colorless fog can also significantly attenuate very strong light and sound. The power of the Stangrenade should have been lower than usual. This is one of the reasons why a fog without color can be difficult to fog. To give you an example, Akira was firing a ton with a DVTS minigun, but she wouldn't have felt too loud, would she? If the effect of colorless fog was completely zero, it would have sounded amazing."

'I see. Hmm? But I used it even before it rained, but it wasn't that loud, was it?

"The colorless fog is always present throughout the east. Differences in concentration, though."

'Really? Oh, so humans don't have to be found by monsters.'

That's what I'm talking about.

Akira was killing her spare time when she heard such a miscellaneous for hunters from Alpha.

The removal of the relics by Cheryl and the others will be completed. Akira tried to move her car back home and realized there was one.

'Speaking of which, Corbe brought home Guba's body by saying what if the body was eaten by a monster, but for that matter, you left Sebra's body alone. The direction we broke up in wasn't one of the directions with the hunter's office, either, and why?

'I don't know you, and I'm not a hunter. Treating humans is such a thing. And Akira's hunter's office is the biggest one, isn't it? The little branch is in many other places.'

'Really? Right. "

It's nothing big. Akira was convinced with it and went home without any further concern.

Corbe had moved out of the city by himself after breaking up with Akira and the others. Corbe was waiting for people there.

About half an hour after Corbe gets in touch, the waiter comes by car. It's a small car for mobility inside the city. The car stopped near Corbe.

A man comes out of the car. Point at the body bag Corbe has on the ground with his jaw. The man opens the zipper on the body bag to make sure the contents are Guiba's body. And look at Corbe and laugh lightly.

"It's definitely a giuber. Good luck."

"If you've confirmed it, contact me as soon as you can to transfer the reward."

"I know. Wait a minute."

The man takes out the information terminal and puts in contact somewhere. Corbe tells the man in a grumpy manner.

"I need this kind of work to be clear."

"Don't say that. Unlike this dead guy, we think of you as a competent hunter. Including credit. It's hard for us to secure a hunter like that. You're paying me what I deserve, right?

"It wasn't the right job this time. I just want you to think it's good not to ask for extra rewards."

"Are you unhappy with the reward? I need you to be the boss around here. Even if they say it on the lower end like me.... Oops, he said he transferred it. Check it out."

I saw the message the man had received to his information device and told Corbe. Corbe manipulates his information terminal to confirm his deposit into his account.

A man lifts a body bag on the ground and packs it in the trunk of a car.

"I know it's tough to run a hunter, but it's tough to have a setup like us, too. This is how you secure the body of the person you lent it to."

The man is the financier's dealer that Guiba was borrowing money from. And the Guibas didn't know, but Corbe was Guiba's watchdog. It's Corbe's job to keep an eye on Guiba and secure him for life or death. If alive, to impose forced labour to pay off debts, if dead, to recover private property quickly.

There are many properties that are difficult to take up in a missing state, such as the contents of a deposit account managed by the Hunter Office. The most effective way to take such property is to bring the person in. Life and death are irrelevant. It is desirable to take the person who was accompanying the debtor at the time of his death so as not to be misconstrued as, for example, the settlor killed him and brought him here. If the person is a well-behaved hunter with high credibility, etc., the process is also prompt.

Guba's property would be well recovered, including the gold he had secured for high flying.

Talk with Corbe grinning in a grumpy manner.

"I know how hard it is to take it. The one who came to take it from me, he was very sorry."

"Oh, I'm scared. You're in a bad mood. Well, we'll hear about that in the car. Get in."

A handler and a corbe get in the car. The car disappeared into the city.
