Rebuild World

90 Katsuya and the Exceptional Girl

Katsuya was making me play on various topics with Cheryl.

Even when it came to various topics, the content of the topic was heavily skewed. The main topic was about katsuya, whether it was about the drankum to which katsuya belonged, when katsuya went to the ruins of the old world, or about the monster that katsuya defeated at the request of a crusade.

Katsuya mistook Cheryl for a wealthy hierarchical person because of her clothing and atmosphere. It's not uncommon for a person inside a fence to come to a store outside the fence with an escort. There's also a hunter's office. Inside the huge building that's integrated with the fence, there's a bunch of people inside and outside the fence. The neighborhood is also fairly secure in the subdivisions of the city, so there's no problem with a well-formed person walking.

It may not be interesting to talk about hunter operations full of havoc to such people. That's what Katsuya thought at the beginning. But Cheryl was listening to Katsuya with a very pleasant look on her face. That's why Katsuya kept talking about hunter operations.

Katsuya was very comfortable with her conversation with Cheryl. A story close to bragging is accurately praised for the self-admiration of one's activity, in addition to the fact that the heterosexuals who are beautiful enough to be seen in love seem to enjoy themselves. After showing sympathy and empathy by clouding a graceful face for dissatisfaction and stupidity, I am praised for my willingness to overcome that difficulty. Katsuya indulged in a conversation with Cheryl and continued the conversation laughing with pleasure.

Cheryl was uncomfortable talking to Katsuya.

Katsuya's face can be considered of good enough quality for the difference in preference. Many women would flock if they let Katsuya serve them. If Katsuya's story is true, then Katsuya will be a competent hunter for young people and a presence at first sight in Drancam as well. Judging from Katsuya's story of struggling to help his fellow inmates in the same inmate party, he would mean someone with a companionship and a good personality. Boy hunter with good arms, face and personality. Cheryl valued Katsuya highly impressively, sensibly, and intuitively.

And another part of Cheryl, the ruthless part of plotting to squeeze information from the opponent and cage the opponent based on that information to take advantage of the negotiations, also valued Katsuya highly. But the rating was significantly lower than the intuitive rating.

To be precise, Cheryl's rating for Katsuya is too high for intuition. Obvious preferences exist compared to rational and logical assessments. The discrepancy in that assessment was the cause of Cheryl's discomfort.

Cheryl continues his conversation with Katsuya while smiling without putting it on the table, bewildered by his assessment of Katsuya. In the meantime, Cheryl's intuition continues to instruct Cheryl to further increase her appreciation of Katsuya.

Cheryl thinks without knowing. There seems to be no doubt that Katsuya is a competent and promising hunter. It may be beneficial for Cheryl and the others to stay on edge with such hunters. Invite Katsuya to dinner now to get in deeper company, arm in arm and walk in the lower compartment like a lover to a restaurant where we dine together. Cheryl imagined the sight at some point.

In Cheryl's imagination, Cheryl arms up with Katsuya and walks like a lover. Looks very happy.

In that fantasy, Akira walked in from the direction of Cheryl and the others. And Cheryl and Akira's eyes met.

Akira in Cheryl's imagination truncated her fringe with Cheryl by returning her heel (bite) without changing her expression otherwise and without saying anything.

Cheryl's expression returned to me is strong. Cheryl's body stiffened for a moment with fear, but it healed when she understood that the sight was just imaginary and not real. But tension and agitation never came out of Cheryl right away. Heavy heart beats, Cheryl repeatedly attempts to calm her shallow breath.

I speak out worried about Cheryl, whose expression Katsuya suddenly made her strong (frightened).

"... So, are you okay?

Cheryl sees Katsuya. Unfounded high praise for Katsuya, which existed earlier in Cheryl, had disappeared. Cheryl's intuition judges the boy in front of him as just a promising young hunter. That's consistent with Cheryl's rational judgment.

Cheryl takes a deep breath once to calm her mind. Cheryl, who has regained her composure, starts talking to misdemonize Katsuya.

"... it's okay. Excuse me. Sorry to disturb you."

"Is something wrong? Oh, could I have said something weird?

"No, I remember hearing about Mr. Katsuya and being attacked by a monster when he was out in the wilderness before, so I feel a little..., sorry to disturb you"

Katsuya asks worried.

"Were you all right? Any injuries?

"It's okay. The hunter of the escort helped me, so I didn't have to loot (scratch) a scratch. I can still count on hunters like Katsuya."

Cheryl smiles and looks at the rash. Katsuya was laughing with a little light. It seems to have been misdemonized without any problems.

"You're the hunter of the escort. If you ever need an escort hunter again, now take me..."

"Katsuya, it's nice to let us go and nag another kid."

Yumina, approaching from behind Katsuya, told Katsuya with a smile that made her feel angry.

Katsuya was spoken to by Yumina and remembered that she had come to this store with Yumina and the others. Together, we remembered talking to Cheryl and forgetting about the Yuminas and leaving them alone.

Katsuya rushes up from her chair and tries to calm down by controlling Yumina with both hands.

"Yumina, Iri. No, you're not! Misunderstood!"

Yumina chuckles and stuffs to the katsuya.

"Misunderstood? Yes, it's a misunderstanding. Then, of course, it explains what kind of misunderstanding it is, right?

Katsuya sees Eiri next to Yumina as she asks for help. The sight of condemnation just returned from Iri.

Cheryl looked at Yumina and Iri and got some idea of her relationship with Katsuya.

Cheryl rises out of her chair and bows her head to Yumina and the others.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Mr. Katsuya's story was a very interesting one, so I urged him to continue. Have I delayed you in your promised time?

Yumina and Iri had a strong consciousness toward Katsuya and had not looked closely at Cheryl.

Yumina is a little surprised to see Cheryl again.

(... Awesome beautiful. The clothes have some great taste, the price seems expensive, and is this the kind of store where people come? Could we be quite out of place?

Yumina takes Cheryl seriously. And I find myself honestly apologized to a very beautiful (beautiful) girl for her appearance and clothes, and for some reason I get a little carried away and answer to misdemonize it (sesame seeds).

"Oh, was I? No, I wasn't setting a time, I was talking about coming back as soon as I got some rest, so I'm not really coming back, so something happened..."

"I was just hearing a little bit from Mr. Katsuya about the hunter opening. It didn't look like Mr. Katsuya was dictating me or anything......, could it have been dictating?

Cheryl asked Katsuya with a slightly pranky smile on her face.

Katsuya answers in a panic, shaking her neck to the side.

"No, I don't mean that, okay?

I don't feel like I was dictating Cheryl to Katsuya. But even without that awareness, many of the girls came to me recognising that they had been dictated by Katsuya, and I could not say for sure that I had never said such a misleading thing.

Especially since Katsuya felt very comfortable with her conversation with Cheryl, she thought she might have unconsciously said a lot. That did not slightly distort (boil) the tone of the rash.

Cheryl smiles at Yumina.

"Are you Mr. Katsuya's lover?

"Ko, lover!? No, uh, no..."

As Yumina looks embarrassed, she drops her voice, delighted that she has been judged Katsuya's lover.

"So is it next door?

"............ no"

Iri returned a reply of denial after a lengthy silence. The faceless Iri's face has a slight color of illumination.

"Really? Since your two names were out in Katsuya's story, I thought you were lovers...... I'm sorry if I offended you."

I answer Cheryl, who said that with a little bit of sorrow, with Yumina illuminating.

"Yes, no, it's okay. Never mind."

If Katsuya told Yumina something that Cheryl would misunderstand, she would be very happy with Yumina. That's the same for Iri. Yumina and Iri were in a pretty good mood after suddenly recovering their mood.

Katsuya, though a little lit up, wonders a little whether she told Cheryl such a thing. But when I saw Yumina and Iri smiling with Cheryl, I quickly forgot that.

Indeed, Yumina and Iri's names appeared in Katsuya's story. But in order to judge the two as lovers of Katsuya from that story, it would take a fabricated interpretation in front of them.

Cheryl watched as she smiled.

Selene comes from the back of the store and asks Cheryl to help with the re-tailoring.

"Sir. Sorry for the inconvenience, but please try again"

"Okay. Okay, now."

Cheryl briefly met the Katsuya and went with Selene to the back of the store.

The remaining Katsuya and the others on the spot went back to choosing their clothes, albeit with a slightly strange atmosphere.

Yumina remembered Cheryl as she picked out her clothes. Cheryl's outfit also felt very sophisticated from Yumina's eyes. Looking for a shelf product to see if there were similar clothes, Cashare was just coming close to see how Yumina and the others were doing.

Yumina asks Kashare.

"Um, can I have a word with you? It's the clothes of the person who was sitting in the chair earlier..."

"Would you like to sit at that customer's meal? That all sits with what we bought for you. If you wish, we can prepare a set of the same, how would you like it?

I'm pretty sure Katsuya had a good impression on those clothes, too. Wearing the same clothes might make a better impression on me. Yumina, who thought so, decides to take Kashare's suggestion.

"Please"

"... me too"

Eiri, who was listening, joined it.

"I'm scared."

Cashare replied with a smile. It is an affordable product in this store, but if it sells a set of clothes for three people, it will be quite a sale. Cashare began to prepare the product as a delight.

Cashare immediately prepared a set of costumes. Yumina and Iri change into it and make it look katsuya after a light check in the mirror. Katsuya looks at those two clothes and gives them a subtle look.

"It's not bad..."

Katsuya's reply was subtle. But Yumina and Iri, who heard such a reply from Katsuya, did not offend her. Yumina and Iri mutter (crush ya) the same thing when they see themselves in the mirror and the girl next door.

"Sure, it's not bad..."

"... not bad"

If you're asked if it's good or bad, it's definitely good. That's what all the Katsuya and the others agree on. But there's Cheryl in the store wearing the exact same clothes, and that Cheryl is prettier (prettier) and more suited. I unconsciously compare Cheryl to Yumina and the others.

Cashare, too, looked great, I didn't feel like complaining.

"If you don't like it, why don't you change some of your jackets and everything? Bring the right product to your customer."

"... please"

"Me too."

"I'm scared."

Cashare smiled and walked away to recommend another product in the store. Of course (of course), we change the recommended product from affordable to slightly more expensive.

Katsuya and the others, who have finished shopping, are resting at a table in the store. Yumina and the others eventually bought a set of clothes that were completely different from Cheryl's. The clothes are stored in luxurious boxes and paper bags without wrinkles.

Katsuya asks Yumina and the others.

"So, what are we going to do? You gonna buy clothes at another store again?

"This is the last place to go around a clothes store. I ran out of money for the other stores here."

"Likewise. It was expensive"

Yumina and Iri were going to excite their budget so they could go around Katsuya and various stores all day today. But the budget was all going to be used up in this store. Neither Yumina nor Iri regret buying clothes here. I was satisfied with the result because I was able to buy clothes with a good rating from Katsuya.

Talk as Katsuya looks at the two tired people.

"Right. Then why don't you take a meal and get some rest at a store near here? There would be a pretty good shop around here."

"Let's do that.... but give me some more rest"

"... as well.... Tired."

Both Yumina and Iri are hunters. It is my job to equip myself with heavy firearms to explore the ruins of the Old World or defeat monsters. You are confident in your health. Except for mental fatigue. Trying on expensive clothes that I'm not used to wearing usually fatigued Yumina and Iri considerably. Because if you treat expensive clothes rampantly and tear them apart, it's going to be a big deal.

Katsuya looks behind the store. That's the direction Cheryl headed. I come close to wondering if Cashare, who was in that direction by chance, needed me.

"Would you like to call me?

"Oh, no, I just saw what Cheryl was doing after she went that way earlier"

"If you're that customer, we have you adjusting the tailoring of your meal"

Kashare explained so briefly in response to Katsuya's question after conceiving what and how far she should go.

Yumina is interested in the story.

"Tailoring?"

"Yes, we deal in luxury ready-made clothing, but we also accept tailored clothing orders. If you are interested in tailoring clothes, please use our shop."

"Honestly, I'm interested, but that's a lot expensive, isn't it?

"That's tailored clothing, so I can only say it will be worth the price. But our proud craftsmen will be a tailor-made treat just for you. I was hoping you'd be satisfied."

Cashare explained so with a loving laugh.

Yumina also sometimes yearns for something special in that hand. But buying off-the-shelf clothes from this store is a huge expense to Yumina. Yumina changed her expression with her longing for ideals and her intention for reality.

Cheryl returns from the back of the store. The chair at the table where Katsuya and the others are sitting is for four. There are still empty seats left, but Cheryl tries to sit in the other seats because he is not going to interfere with the Katsuya and the others' story.

When I realized it, Katsuya immediately recommended Cheryl to take a seat. Cheryl hesitated a little, but met lightly and sat down. Katsuya unconsciously lowered her expression.

Yumina sees Cheryl. Yumina thinks about Cheryl, perhaps the girl in some wealthy house. I felt the different elegance of the world where Cheryl even lived the way she wore her clothes and smiled (cheeks), and Yumina was getting a little carried away.

(... she's a lot of different things, including the fact that she's beautiful)

Katsuya is very popular with the same generation of heterosexuals. Many girls have a crush on Katsuya even in Drankam, and Yumina is one of them. There were no humans with an atmosphere like Cheryl among the girls that could also be called such a katsuya surrounding.

Yumina thought the difference was because of the difference between herself running through the wilderness with a firearm and the humans living elegantly inside the fence.

But that's a mistake. There is no other reason for the intrinsic difference between Cheryl and the Yuminas that Yumina was feeling.

Cheryl's smile at Katsuya and the others was shaped by the drilling of technology to give them an advantage over each negotiation. Yumina felt the difference with herself there first.

Iri, like Yumina, remembered Cheryl's difference from us. But Iri was thinly aware of the reasons for the more intrinsic differences.

Cheryl doesn't like shards either. Even if there is a preference for competent hunters, there is no preference for the opposite sex at all. Aili was aware of that. That was an extremely rare (rare) exception among women near Katsuya. Even women who approached Katsuya with evil thoughts in an attempt to use young and capable hunters are not included in that exception.

Aili realized about it but remained silent. Aili should also have fewer competitors. And because I didn't even bother to tell anyone.

Aili sees Katsuya. Katsuya is laughing with pleasure. So Iri stopped caring any more.

Katsuya asks Cheryl without thinking in particular.

"Speaking of which, did Cheryl ask you to re-tailor your clothes here?

"Yes, because the clothes didn't fit the size a bit."

"How much is that usually? Can I ask you how much it cost?

"I'm sorry to bother you. I don't even know the details until the market. I thought it would be better if I asked the clerk. For my tailoring, it's 1.5 million aurums."

Katsuya and the others who hear from Cheryl about the exact price end of story. Because it's more than what Katsuya and the others assumed.

Cheryl sees Katsuya and the others react and decides that the 1.5 million aurum is big enough for competent hunters like Katsuya and the others. And Cheryl reasserted Akira's awesomeness for lightly offering such large sums of money.

I pinch my mouth thinking that if Cashare were based on that price, it would sound like a future order.

"That's a slightly special example, so I was wondering if it would be appropriate for a reference to the price of tailoring. Depending on your order, it is also possible to order tailored clothing for about 500,000 aurum"

Yumina asks in confusion.

"... but it's a little weird that the cost of tailoring exceeds the cost of tailoring clothes..."

"It will be a re-tailoring of garments made in the old world, so the corresponding artisans will also need the right amount of skill. Also, yarns and tools used for tailoring can be reasonably expensive, so I was wondering if it would be a reasonable price for them. Of course (of course), normal clothing cannot be such an amount."

Katsuya and the others stop again. Cheryl is trying to finish his clothes by crushing the relics of the old world that would be expensive if he sold them and paying 1.5 million aurums to re-tailor them.

Katsuya feels an inequality with Cheryl, something like separation. Katsuya is laughing, but there was a slight shade in that smile.

Cheryl is amazing.

"... If that's what you're saying based on how much you pay, I'm not the one who's actually paying. So I was wondering if I was awesome. I think Katsuya and the others, who are independent and active hunters, are more amazing."

Cheryl replied, slightly clouding her smile. Cheryl's attitude was intentional, but what he was saying was sincere. However, Akira was the subject that I thought was awesome.

"... do you?

"Yes."

Cheryl smiled (cheeks) and assured Katsuya that it was a bad idea.

Seeing Cheryl smile, the shade disappears from Katsuya's expression. Katsuya laughed and lit up.

Temporarily, Yumina and the others recovered their fatigue. Yumina decides to leave the store because she has no budget to buy other clothes but can't help staying in the store for long.

"Katsuya. It's time to get out"

"Hmm? Okay."

Katsuya takes her seat and holds Yumina and the others' luggage. Katsuya got a little lost, but decided to invite Cheryl.

"Uh, we're gonna have dinner at a store nearby after this, but if it's okay with you, why don't you join us?

Yumina exhaled.

Yumina has known Katsuya for a long time. I also understand Katsuya's personality. No offense to Katsuya. Katsuya is not trying to dictate Cheryl. Because we became friends around the corner. Katsuya is only inviting to that extent.

And the person invited by Katsuya makes a lot of mistakes. When he realizes that the other person was a mistake, he's already made him so fond that he doesn't want to leave Katsuya. That's the way it always is.

All but Katsuya became women on the team leading Katsuya in Drankam because of it. Sometimes men come in, but they probably fall out quickly. Katsuya's team is also called the Harlem Team by those who don't like Katsuya.

Anticipating this later development, Yumina saw Cheryl in the frontier of giving up.

But Yumina's predictions are off. Cheryl bows her head gently and refuses to invite Katsuya.

"I'm sorry to bother you. You can't leave this place for re-tailoring. We also meet acquaintances here. Please refrain from using the words in the corner."

I was a little surprised when Katsuya and Yumina gave me an unexpected look. Katsuya was almost unconscious and Yumina thought from years of experience that Cheryl would take the invitation.

Aili didn't change her expression much. To a lesser extent, it's because Cheryl was thinking about the possibility of saying no.

"Oh well. Then you have no choice. If you're on edge, I'll see you."

Katsuya answered with a few words. Because I rarely (ever) have experience inviting a woman to turn me down.

"Yes. Take care"

Cheryl smiles at the rashes. Katsuya saw Cheryl smile (cheeks) and was relieved to decide that she would not have been hated.

After Katsuya and the others left the store, Cheryl sat in a chair and recalled what Katsuya and the others had heard, scrutinizing the information obtained from it.

It was fortunate for Cheryl, in particular, to learn about the inside of the Hunter Prison Party named Drancam. It is biased information with Katsuya's subjectivity in it, but it is better than not knowing anything, and I can speculate to some extent.

Cheryl flaunted her face, thinking it was supposed to be useful information for Akira, the same hunter.

Then Akira came back to the store. Cheryl smiles when she finds Akira.

Akira asks, sitting in the chair across from Cheryl.

"Bad. Late. I spent more time replenishing ammo than I thought. I didn't hear from you, but what happened over here?

"No. Nothing in particular. Strongly put, a few hunters belonging to Drancam came shopping, so I heard a lot about it. Would you like to hear it?

Akira remembered that Cheryl had been trying to get some wash and strip information from a hunter named Dale before.

Akira wandered a little, thinking she probably did something similar then.

"Oh well. Please."

"Okay."

Cheryl will tell Akira the information that she has herself wrapped around. It was also an interesting story for Akira.

"... I see. Will all relics of the old world collected by hunters belonging to Drunkham be collected and sold by Drunkham? It's not like the hunters we collect are selling it."

"Yes. They pay the base salary according to the Hunter Rank to the hunter to whom they belong, and then the remuneration is added depending on achievements, etc. They have a variety of squadrons, like the Relic Collection Squad, the Crusade Squad of Monsters, and they sort out requests."

"I have a base salary even though it's a hunter operation. That's a little strange. Even if you went to the ruins of the Old World and had nothing but busy artifacts, would you get the least amount of money..."

"They say even if they find expensive artifacts instead, they have a lot of money on Drancam's side. Still, few people intentionally neglect to find artifacts because Hunter Rank rises apart from rewards. However, those who are not really suitable for collecting artifacts will be turned to crusade squads and so on."

"You're thinking a lot..."

Akira heard about a hunter operation she didn't know about and made a slightly more impressive voice.

"It was an interesting story. Thanks."

When Akira thanked Cheryl, Cheryl laughed with great joy.

I rarely turn the smile that Cheryl made on Akira. Because I've tried Akira several times in the past to understand that it doesn't work.

"Glad I could help you"

Collecting information is still important. Cheryl thought so again.

The tailoring of Cheryl's clothes was gradually completed.

Cheryl comes back in tailored clothes. I guess I got a satisfactory job. Selene's expression next to Cheryl was full of satisfaction, and she was good at it somewhere.

Cheryl asks Akira with a mixed look of light tension and lighting.

"Duh, what do you think?

Akira makes a mild exclamation when she sees Cheryl wearing re-tailored clothes.

"Oh, that's a lot different. You look great."

Cheryl's cheeks, praised by Akira, stain more Zhu. Cheryl laughs with joy.

Cheryl's clothing, tailored exclusively for Cheryl by crushing relics from the old world, had exceptionally elevated Cheryl's charm to such an extent that even Akira's fashion sense, which was becoming very dull, could be seen. The discomfort when the size of the clothes doesn't fit Cheryl is completely gone. The refined appeal of old world-made garments remains intact, highlighting Cheryl's natural beauty even more. Selene's skill in tailoring her clothes seems certain.

Alpha giggles and tells Akira.

"That was worth a million and a half orum. If Akira was unresponsive, she'd be fine. '

"I can tell this from the boulder. It was worth 1.5 million aurums."

Kashare speaks to Akira, who is impressed.

"Were you satisfied?

"Yes. I honestly didn't expect it to change this far. Satisfied."

"That word will pay off above all else. When you get another chance to re-tailor, please make sure to nominate our craftsmen next time."

Kashare smiled lovingly and said the words that would lead to the next sale.

Kashare asks Selene after Akira and the others leave the store.

"Selene, I honestly didn't think you'd make it that good. When did you raise your arm so much?

Selene answers proudly.

"Her qualities. Type and quality of clothing brought in. My arm crossed. It's all chewed up. Honestly, you can do a miracle. Maybe you can't do the same thing again."

Kashare rushes out suddenly after hearing Selene's explanation and convinced.

"... that you can't do the same!? I said our craftsman next time!? They expect to do the same next time!?

"I don't care if you tell me. I'm going to bed now. Don't wake me up."

That's all Selene says and goes back to the back of the store. Originally, Selene was sleepless. Fatigue is also considerable, and I wasn't going to wake up until tomorrow when I went to bed.

I got a satisfactory job. I'm sure you'll sleep well today. Selene went to bed thinking so.

Cashare, who was left alone, remembered a little anxiety and told herself strongly that it should have been a good publicity for the store, this is a good thing.

Cheryl was sent back to his base by Akira.

The clothes Cheryl was wearing on her way back to base were bought at Cashare's. Tailored for Cheryl, the garment is housed in a sturdy costume case. Nor can Cheryl walk through Slam Street wearing those clothes on a boulder. Because it's too dangerous. Even the clothes I bought at Cashare's are too much.

But the humans around Cheryl's base know there's a hunter that's pretty strong behind Cheryl's back shield. That's why I don't bother with Cheryl. But if Cheryl walks through Slam Street wearing the clothes in the costume case, there will be a dramatic increase in the number of people attacking Cheryl ignoring the hunter behind his back because of his charm. For this reason, Cheryl can only wear these clothes around the base.

Akira returned straight to her house after sending Cheryl over. Cheryl was in her room regretting that and working out plans for the future.

Cheryl looks at the costume case chilling. Then change into the clothes in the costume case and stand in front of the mirror. Cheryl looked at herself, who would not be suspected of fraudulently calling herself some sort of courtier in the mirror, and gave her expression as she conceived her future plans.

(As long as Akira compliments me with these clothes, I'm sure she'll do well)

Cheryl felt confident in her plan and kept standing in front of the mirror without getting tired of laughing.
