Rebuild World

Akira and the others are running down a long aisle. Akira and the others still have plenty of room for health. But Levin and the others were repeatedly breathing rough, and the limits of their health were approaching.

Levin stops Akira and the others.

"Hey, give me a minute. It's time for the limit. At least slow me down a little bit."

Elena ruthlessly says it out.

"I don't like it. If I'm going to be late any longer, I'll leave you. You're going to be more dangerous than just being late, so if you don't want to die, good luck. This is still slowing things down a lot, isn't it?

"What kind of strength are you in? Is that it? Is that the one with the fortified clothes? These are natural protective clothes. Give me a break."

"With such gear, you've often thought about diving into almost uninvestigated ruins. Is it also a suicide wish?

Elena's tone is a little harsh because she can't afford it. But I didn't say anything wrong.

Levin sees Akira. Seeing a hunter younger than himself wearing tight fortified clothes, Levin asks Akira to be foolish.

"That's why I hit one bullet with the relic of an untried ruin and came here to buy some good gear. Even you bought fortified clothes with gold that sold expensive artifacts, didn't you?

"Well yes. At that time, I almost ran out of money and artifacts to pay for fortified clothing. Thanks to you, I only stayed in a room without a bath, and it was pretty hard."

Akira remembered that time as a smudge. It's an unthinkable life from Akira's gear right now.

A little unexpected, Levine tells me to misdemonize.

"Oh well."

Elena speaks in a slightly tight tone.

"I guess I didn't even start saving money for the sake or the woman. I don't even know if the hunter operation is alive tomorrow, because it's a dangerous operation, and if you squander it and leave it speechless every day, you can't buy a good piece of gear, can you?

Levin roared when Elena poked me with a star. Levine's people, who are in a similar situation, have also been dragged down. I guess there are a lot of things to think about.

Akira asks Levin.

"You don't have a healing pill or anything?

"We're all out of cage castles. I didn't come in there unharmed."

"Then shall I sell mine? I still have a spare."

"Right. I'm sorry. How much?

"Two million aurums a box."

"That's expensive! What's the price? How much are you going to put on it!?

Levin shouted at the extra price of the recovery pills. The price of the recovery pills that Levin and the others often use is different in digits.

Akira answers normally.

"It's the price when I bought that recovery pill. I haven't had an aurum to ride it up. Besides, these healing pills divide life and death in a critical situation. Sure, it's expensive, but cheaper than my life. It's up to you to decide if it's more expensive than your life. So, what do we do?

"... I can't"

"Right. Well, I won't force you."

Levin and the others squeeze their energy and follow Akira and the others. When we get back to the city, muscle aches are inevitable. We use our bodies badly and run down long passages.

I don't have the money to make money. Levin and the others have been in that situation for a long time. Gear up with the money you earn and make even bigger money. Levin was determined to see a hunter younger than himself practicing it.

Turn down the booze and the woman, and buy fortified clothes. Levin was firmly determined. I do not know if that determination continues beyond tomorrow, but at least on this occasion, I was firmly determined.

Akira and the others reach the stairs leading to the ground.

Suddenly Elena looks back and stares at the back of the aisle. And change your expression to something serious. Akira and Sarah also look back and look behind the aisle.

Hardly catching up with Akira and the others, Levin looks at Akira and suddenly changes the atmosphere and asks with a rough breath with an anxious look on her face.

"Hey, is something wrong?

Elena explains the situation.

"If you don't want to die, run up the stairs crazy about death. Monsters are coming after us."

"... what?

But Levin's reaction was dull. The power of Levin himself. Mentally and physically exhausted. A desire not to grasp things. The various factors that had accumulated had blunted Levin's perception, judgment and behavior.

Elena yells.

"Don't just stand there and go! You want to die!?

I hear noises coming from behind the aisle. Beast roar. Machine drive sound. It sounds like something is looming.

The sound reaches the ears of Levin and the others. Levin and the others, who gradually understood the situation, began to take action that should have been done sooner. He ran up the stairs with a mixed look of menace.

Sarah holds an A4WM automatic projectile gun and fires countless projectiles towards the back of the aisle. The countless explosions that echoed from behind the aisle temporarily scratched (or turned off) the monsters. But the sound of the monsters was quickly reversing, and it was getting closer and closer.

Elena gives Sarah instructions.

"Sarah, I'll take care of the stopping. We'll see what's going on on on the ground and get ready to move, so pull early without forcing Sarah either. If Sarah's retreat is going to be delayed when you match Levin and the others, abandon them."

Levin and the others have requested an emergency request, but Elena has no shards, such as the intention to let Sarah die. If I can help, I can help, but if that's hard, I'll abandon it. That's all.

"Copy that. I won't force it. Take care of yourself."

Sarah replied with a laugh. Sarah gives Elena and Akira her undisturbed baggage. Upon receiving it, Akira and Elena quickly ran up the stairs.

Akira sees Levin and the others who should have gone first. Already Levin and the others are not fatigued enough to do this with energy. I haven't stopped to escape the monster, but that walk is very slow.

Akira yells at Levin and the others.

"What about the healing pills!

The respite is until Akira passes next to the Levins. I mean, a few seconds.

Levin answers looking at Akira and screaming.

"Damn it! Give it to me!

Akira dropped a healing pill next to the Levins and ran straight up to the ground with Elena.

Levin squeezes his remaining strength and strength to open the box of healing pills. And I took out the capsule medicine in the box and hurried and cheeked.

The assumption that it works and is natural because it does as much as 2 million aurums a box faster than the recovery pills actually start to work restores Levin's temper. And it's only an expensive healing pill, and the immediate healing effect quickly restored Levin's health.

"... don't work! Boulder (Exactly) Two Million Orum a Box!

Levin fills his buddy's mouth with the rest of the healing pills. Levin's people recovered quickly. Having regained their strength and strength, Levin and the others rushed up the stairs in a move like no other before.

Akira and Elena ran up the stairs to escape the ruins. Akira and the others will see what's happening on the ground immediately. There are no monster reactions around the entrance and exit of the ruins. Akira and Elena jump in their car and start getting ready to get out of here right away.

Akira and Elena bring their cars closer to the unobstructed cliff where Sarah and the others leave the ruins. And wait for Sarah and the others to come out.

Akira peeks into the back of the stairs. Levin and the others had come as close as they could get here. The Levins have a mixed look with the fear of being chased by monsters and the joy of being able to get out on the ground in a little while.

Akira's expression gets all the rage at once. Akira jumped off the driver's seat and ran down the stairs again. There was no sign of Sarah behind Levin and the others.

Sarah kept attacking the looming monsters as she climbed the stairs. Sarah's walking pretty slow. There are clear signs of injuries in the movement. You hit some kind of fragment, the head bleeding is dyeing Sarah's face red.

Sarah was injured in several ways. That the monsters were stronger than those engaged in the underground. That the monster had something with a ranged attack. That that monster attacked Sarah without worrying about other monster damage or anything. There must be no shield nearby where you can hide yourself. that Sarah's evasion and interception of the monster's attack did not occur in time. And that Sarah's retreat was slightly delayed.

Sarah was going to fight as usual. But if he really fought as he always did, he reconsidered that he shouldn't make the kind of mistake of delaying the retreat. Elena had instructed me to withdraw early, even after abandoning Levin and the others. The usual Sarah would have pulled out sooner.

Then why was Sarah's retreat delayed? Sarah quickly realized why.

(... oh well. I wanted to show Akira the good part)

Sarah smiled at herself. As a senior hunter, I wanted to show Akira something good. Even with leg wraps like Levin's, I wanted Akira to feel awesome and succeed in stopping the monster without any problems. I wanted to live up to Akira's expectations that I consider myself a great hunter.

That drove Sarah's judgment slightly crazy. Sarah was forced to behave more dangerously in search of more perfect results. Sarah got greedy.

Sarah's ability is amply demonstrated by the fact that she continues to fight in this situation without losing her will or strength. Sarah is not willing to die either. I'm not willing to give up survival until the end. To some extent, if only for a few minutes, Sarah's nanomachine in her body would heal her injuries to the point where she could move normally.

But that recovery rate slows down as long as the fight continues. Sarah's health continues to be consumed and her injuries exacerbated by simply holding back a powerful recoil of heavy firearms.

But even if Sarah dumps her heavy weapon and runs up the stairs, the monsters will catch up to her in her current wounded state. Sarah had to wait for a slow recovery as she continued the attack. If you loosen your hand on the attack, a large number of monsters will approach you at once as you step on and crush the fallen monster. But ammunition is not endless.

Sarah's experience and judgment of a competent hunter tells her that it is still unpleasant (first). At the same time, the experience and judgment tell us that there is no other means. Sarah ate her teeth and continued to fight desperately.

Akira running down the stairs captures Sarah and the monster ahead. Akira set up a CWH objective assault gun at the monsters without stopping.

"Alpha!"

'I'll take care of it!

Akira did not hesitate to ask Alpha for help. Alpha appeared in Akira's sight and answered Akira's call. At the same time, the support of Alpha was added to Akira.

Akira pulls the trigger. A special bullet is fired from the CWH objective assault gun. Bullets that have gained divine shooting capability thanks to Alpha support are emitted with maximum efficiency. A powerful dedicated bullet, also used to fight tanks, pierced the leading monster and destroyed it at once to the multiple monsters behind it.

Akira continues and shoots. The monsters running up the stairs are defeated with maximum efficiency. With the support of Alpha, the released bullets accurately land at the monster's steep point. Sturdy monsters collapse, interfering with the path of subsequent monsters. A monster who has been knocked down by chess on the stairs falls, involving a sequel.

The damage done to the leading monsters is immense. But the subsequent monsters continue to move forward with no concern at all.

The only gun Akira is equipped with is a CWH objective assault gun. I left anything in the car that would get in the way of a quick move. DVTS miniguns have also been left behind to turn CWH objective assault gun ammunition into specialized ammunition in order to reduce the loss of firepower. As a result, Akira was now rather light-hearted.

Alpha confirms Sarah's condition and gives Akira instructions.

'I am wounded, but my life has nothing else to say. Hold it and run up. It's faster than intercepting a monster here and waiting for her to recover.'

Akira even uses the recoil of the gun to make a sudden stop. And I run right up the stairs so I can hold Sarah with my left hand. Keep shooting at the monsters without even turning around as they run up the stairs. He didn't aim at all and looks appropriately shooting backwards, but the bullet was firmly hitting the monster because Alpha is firmly after him.

Sarah understood with surprise that Akira had come to the rescue. And I also understood that moving poorly would get in the way of Akira's movements, and I was carried away so that Akira could hold me as I was.

Elena waited for Akira and the others to come back on the ground. Elena soon found out that Akira was on her way to rescue Sarah, but she can't even go to rescue Elena. Elena had decided it was best to wait here so Sarah and the others could leave as soon as they got back. So far, there are no monsters around, but no wonder they show up any time. You cannot fail to be vigilant.

Sarah and the others are hard to come back to. To be precise, Elena just feels very slow every minute and every second, and it hasn't (been) that long. But still, Elena's expression darkens the rush color.

Elena's impatience also passes on to Levin and the others. Levin and the others are all in Elena's car. Because Akira's car doesn't have a driver.

Levin and the others in Elena's car had a relief (mostly) look on their face. But wait for Sarah and the others. Seeing Elena not trying to leave, Levin and the others make you feel uneasy again.

One of the Levins tells her to whine (crush ya) as she looks at Elena with an anxious look.

"... hey. It doesn't taste good if it stays like this..."

"Shut up."

Elena said with a ruthless look, even hostile to the man, yes just one word. Elena's quiet words had the force not to let her say yes or no. The man rushed off Elena's gaze, frightened.

The next moment, Akira jumps out of the ruins with Sarah in her arms. Akira jumps straight into her car. Shortly after that, Akira's car moved out on its own.

Elena also moves the car immediately. Levin and the others hurriedly cling to the car, who were greatly disfigured by the car's sudden recoil.

Akira's car moves vigorously away from the entrance to the ruins. Soon afterwards, a monster sprang up from the staircase leading down to the basement that was following Akira and the others. Relatively small monsters, smaller than the width of the stairs.

Put Sarah in the back seat a little ramblingly because Akira was in a hurry. The driving of the car itself is already carried out by Alpha. And Alpha stops Akira trying to sit in the driver's seat.

"Akira, I'll drive. Akira, take care of that one."

"Over there?"

Look in the direction Akira was instructed by Alpha, around the stairs leading to the ruins underground. At the next moment, a large number of monsters gushed out of the stairs as if they had been forced (to) push outside.

Something even bigger pops up. A monster the size of the limit through the stairs popped out as he opened his big mouth and preyed on the other monsters.

It also looks like a long giant snake, but a giant scale is a mosaic like a violent mix of the various monsters you prey on. It even mixes like a broken shell. Some of the scales are peeling off, probably because they came up the stairs forcefully in that giant.

Akira opened her mouth wide and solidified, stunned to see a huge monster of a different size from those little things there.

The giant monster was raising his body high with the momentum that jumped out of the stairs. When that momentum runs out, the giant falls to the ground according to gravity and makes a roar. A monster of trinkets that was nearby got caught up in it.

Akira returns to me with that roar. Akira screams unexpectedly at me.

"What is that!?

Alpha answers.

"Probably a subspecies of bulimic crocodiles. The monsters in the aisle must have fled from it rather than following Akira and the others. '

"bulimia crocodile!? A bulimic crocodile, was that it?!?

'You said subspecies, didn't you? It's a monster that changes shape depending on what you prey on originally, and you've come through an elongated passage, so maybe you've adapted the shape to it. Don't be surprised. Attack quickly. You're not after that one, you're going to defeat a monster nearby. If that bait gets away this way, we'll wind up with Akira and the others and feed them. I'll drive, so hurry up. "

Akira rushes to the rear of the car. And put up a DVTS minigun and a CWH objective assault gun and set a target on the other monsters running away from the giant predators rather than following Akira and the others to pull the trigger.

Sarah also joins the attack immediately. Keep shooting bullets and grenades at the herd of monsters that Akira and Sarah are trying to escape in the same direction as themselves. Eating bullets, monsters blown up by explosions fall one after the other.

A giant predator swallows a monster whose movement was slowed by Akira's attack. It's a great appetite. Relatively small monsters, whether biological or mechanical, are sightlessly preyed upon. However, due to its preying on nearby bait as a priority, the interest in Akira and the others who move away with considerable momentum seems to be diminishing.

Elena is also driving at considerable speeds. Because being behind Akira and the others will get in the way of the attack. Elena was driving pretty rough to match the speed of Akira's car.

The Levins were desperately clinging so that they wouldn't be swinging down from Elena's car. I don't think Elena will pull over even if Levin and the others fall out of the car. Definitely will abandon it. If you fall out of the car, you're sure to feed a giant monster. He was desperate and clinging as he distorted his expression with haste and fear and screamed.

Akira and the others intercept the monsters while passing through the ruined debris zone. Driving as it was, he was able to escape from a flock of monsters gradually (like) when the giant predator appeared smaller and the debris zone was no longer visible to the naked eye.

Akira and Sarah face to face. And he fell in tired looking at each other, and laughed out loud with great pleasure for some unsatisfactory reason.

Akira and the others are driving well towards Kugamayama City. I hadn't even encountered a monster since I escaped the hordes of monsters that gushed out of the ruins.

Akira, Elena and Sarah are in Elena's car. Levin and the others are in Akira's car. I switched after making sure it was safe.

Elena asks worried about Sarah.

"Sarah, are you sure you're okay?

"It's okay. I won't die of that kind of injury. It's almost healed."

Sarah replied with a smile that made her feel spared. Fact is Sarah's injuries have healed to such an extent that they have no effect on the fight. You can fight fine if you encounter a monster on your way back to the city.

Elena was pretty worried about Sarah's condition when she saw that blood was dripping on Sarah's face.

"Then it's good. Don't make me worry. It's too lame because your body is a little sturdy. I told you not to push it, didn't I?

Sarah is a physical enhancement dilator with nanomachine administration. Sarah's body is so sturdy that she can't compare to a regular person. Still not immortal. When you die, you die.

"Sorry. I apologize. He's been doing a lot of good lately, so maybe he's been doing a little bit better. I'll be a little more careful from now on."

Sarah answered that with a laugh and apologized to Elena. Sarah's smile lacked a little of her usual brightness, and there was even an atmosphere where she was forced to laugh so she wouldn't be more upset than she needed to be.

Elena saw how Sarah was doing and stopped talking about it any further. If you are reflecting and surviving, you should take advantage of it for the next opportunity. Unnecessary reprimands only blunt future moves.

Sarah laughs brightly as she changes her mind, aware that she is feeling down. And thank Akira.

"Thank you, Akira. Thanks to you."

Elena also deliberately says in a bright voice.

"I'll thank you from me, too. Thank you, Akira. Thank you."

Akira answers in a slight panic.

"No, I'm the one who's sorry for something. Looks like they've brought us to a more dangerous ruin than I expected. I'm really glad we're all safe."

Elena laughs and answers to Akira's attitude, which she feels responsible for at any rate.

"That's not Akira's fault. There is no danger attached to sites with insufficient investigation. Both Sarah and I were aware of the danger and headed for the ruins."

Sarah agrees with Elena.

"That's right. It's not about Akira getting sick."

"Besides, it's nothing to say about this, but if I'd just gone home when I finished collecting relics from the basement, you wouldn't have had any problems.... Are we not compatible with the hunters we meet in the ruins of the old world?

Elena jokingly said that, but she said it herself and took it a little seriously. Sarah and Akira also find their way out of past events and roar a little.

I feel Akira is somehow being flushed into poorly thought, remembering forcefully conflicting events and turning them into a source of objection.

"Uh, well, it was the ruins of the old world that I first met Elena and Sarah, so I don't think that's necessarily true. I am, though."

Akira realized she was saying something that wasn't even in the pattern, and it lit up a little.

"Oh, right. You think too much."

"Yes, it is."

Akira's lighting shifted or Elena and Sarah also replied in a slightly rubbed tone. Strange embarrassment flowed between Akira and the others.

Only one person, Alpha, unrelated to the lighting, talks with pleasure and laughter.

'Right. Akira met me as a relic of the old world, and that's not true.'

'... yeah, but wouldn't Alpha be a hunter?

Alpha speaks with a disgruntled look.

'Hey, you can agree there, right? I'm talking about compatibility. What, are you even complaining about your compatibility with me?

'I don't. It's very helpful.'

"Yi"

Talking to Alpha, Akira regained her calm. The lights that were there just now disappeared somewhere.

Elena changes the subject slightly forcefully with a combination of lighting.

"Now, I have a lot of things to do in the hunter's office when I get back to the city, like reprocessing urgent requests, so let's just decide what we have to decide now. First, I'll come up with a plan, so if you don't like it, just tell me."

"Okay."

"First of all, it's a way to distribute the reward, but if you sell all the artifacts and divide the price into three equal parts, Sarah will cry because Sarah will sell even the artifacts collected at the corner (because of this), so I want to make it a way to like the artifacts collected by herself. May I?"

If she doesn't, Sarah will have to buy back her own lingerie artifacts for the woman she sold herself. Naturally, the profits of the person you sold will be multiplied, which is higher than when you sold them.

"I don't mind that. But in that case, what about the relics Levin and the others gave you?

"What shall I do? Sarah, do you have any good ideas? If you don't have a plan, sell it all out. It's three equal parts."

"Uh, how about I buy underwear and then sell it off at the market?

"Who's going to look into that market? Is that a fair price? You buy it at a buyout price? Buy it at a sale price?

Nothing. Elena is not blaming Sarah. I'm just saying that it's hard to adjust if you change the method only in part.

I'd like to keep my underwear if possible. Sarah will come up with a proposal.

"... who manages to divide the artifact into three equal parts?

"How do we divide the distributed artifacts so that their value is even? How hard is it to see an artifact? Who's gonna do that? You can talk to the three of us and share, but can we split it properly without remorse?

"Ask the vendor to appraise the artifact..."

"Which vendor will you have appraised? Who pays for that appraisal? What if the appraisal shows that the value of the artifact is so skewed that it can no longer be divided by equal value?

Elena has repeated a lot of points in Sarah's proposal. Akira is not obsessed with the other way around. I'm going to follow Elena and Sarah if they decide how to do it.

Akira squeaks like someone else.

"That's tough."

"At least Elena is deliberately pointing out and rubbing things to teach Akira. If Akira were to go collecting artifacts with other hunters she didn't even know in the future, we'd have to negotiate like this, right?

"Oh well."

That's what Alpha taught me, and I thought Akira was simply a hassle. Some hunters hire deputies to deal with such troubles. Akira felt well aware of the feeling.

Akira decides to say what she has come up with appropriately.

"It is a substitute for the 3 million aurum originally paid for urgent requests. What about someone in here buying an artifact for 3 million aurum? I think it would be relatively fair if we split that up. I'll buy it if there's no one I want. He's the person I told you about, and he'll be practicing selling off relics."

Sarah answers when she hears Akira's proposal.

"Then I'll buy it. I was the one who originally wanted the artifact. I'll transfer it to Akira's account later. Is that okay with Akira?

"Yes, please"

Elena moves on to the next consultation.

"That's the end of the relic thing. Next we'll be talking about information on the ruins of that old world. I'm going to sell the information on that ruin. I'd like to deduct the cost of the ammunition I spent this time from that information fee and divide the rest into three equal parts. Of course (of course), if Akira doesn't like it, I'll stop selling it. Akira, what do we do?

"I don't mind. Please."

"Is Akira really good with that? The location of the ruins, the internal structures, the living monsters, they spread as much information as they want, right? There may still be plenty of artifacts in the back of the basement. Don't you regret it?

"It's okay. Honestly, I don't want to go back to the ruins."

I see Akira talking like that with a disgusting look, and Elena and Sarah laugh bitterly, too.

Talk somewhere fun while Elena smiles bitterly.

"Well, let's just say we also sell the information on Arre for a high price. But I didn't expect it to come out until then. Uninvestigated ruins are tough after all."

Sarah laughs and talks too.

"Sure, I am. I didn't know you'd get that big of a deal. I would have saved you if you'd stuck me in the aisle."

After the three of us laugh at each other, Elena wraps up the story.

"Okay. I'll be responsible for selling off the information on this site. Akira will send this ammo bill to my information terminal later."

"Okay."

"This is the end of the troublesome story. Let's hope nothing happens later until we get back to the city."

Did Elena's prayers go through, and Akira and the others were able to return to the city without anything. To be precise, Akira, Elena and Sarah were able to return to the city without anything.

Akira and the others stopped their cars in the wilderness a short distance from Kugamayama City. Elena and the others received the relic of the reward from Levine and returned to the city first after completing a farewell greeting with Akira. Elena and the others seem to have a lot to do, including following urgent requests and buying and selling information about the site.

Akira and Levine are left in the wilderness. Akira gets the Levins out of the car once. Ask Akira while sitting in the driver's seat with Levin's suspicious look on his face.

"Hey, what kind of imitation? Can you walk from here to the city?

"No, I'll give you a proper ride to the city. I'm asking for a ride to the city."

"Then why did you let me down?

"I need to check something out. I'll take you to the city when I'm done confirming that."

"... Confirm? Tell me what?

Levin asked Akira even more surprised by the look on his face. But in fact, both Levin and his friends could easily imagine what Akira wanted to confirm. And the imagination was brilliant.

Ask Akira to ask what it's like to be nothing.

"Cost of recovery pills. Two million aurum. How are we gonna pay for this?

Levin and the others looked away in unison.
