Rebuild World

92 The kind that kills too much and destroys itself.

Drancam is one of the inmates of the hunters present in the countless Kugamayama cities. It is also a civilian military company whose main business is hunter operation.

A number of hunters belong to Drancam. When it was a small organization at its inception, it continued to operate smoothly without any problems with the original hunter team tie. But as the organization grew, factions arose among the hunters to whom it belonged, and sometimes came out to interfere with the operation of Drancam.

As Drunkham grew and grew in size, he began adding non-hunters to the organization (to facilitate the operation of the organization). It had spurred the growth of the organization, but it had also contributed to making the faction's problems bigger.

The number of managerial parties and others begins to increase. More positions and more people there with no experience of hunters begin to grow. Human beings who have never stepped out of a safe city make themselves or give instructions with their faces to go out into a dangerous wilderness. He complains that he used too much ammunition and healing pills when he repelled the monster with his life in jeopardy, and starts complaining that he is not profitable for the quality and quantity of artifacts he brings back. That may be true for the operation of the organization, but it still pisses me off.

And a new faction had recently been born in Drancam. It is a faction of young hunters who have recently gained strength. Their rear shield is the executive who gave Drancam's operational policy the guiding principles of youth preference. He is an executive with no rare hunter history, even in Drunkham.

The faction of the young hunters is unfamiliar with the faction of the ancient ginseng hunters, even in Drancam. And the ancient ginseng faction, to which Shikarabe and the others belong, watched over the merits of the bounty neck crusade to win a factional battle with them.

Akira somehow grasped the background to the request by listening to Shikarabe. Ask Shikarabe what part of understanding she can't keep up with.

"I found that Drancam was rubbing a lot inside. How does that relate to why you don't intervene in the hunter's office?

"When we intervene in the hunter's office, we need to be sure to go through Drancam's point of contact. A lot of information leaks to other factions in the process. That prevents it. And it's often more convenient not to go through that drancum window to achieve a variety of flexible means and ad hoc responses. For example, when trying to add a slightly unreliable debtor hunter to an operation, there is also a lot of laying in from other factions and clerical methods. It's convenient around here."

"You got a lot going on."

Akira muttered emotionally. There seem to be a lot of things Akira doesn't even think about when she belongs to a large organization.

Shikarabe asks Akira.

"If you're satisfied and don't have any other questions, it's time to hear back"

Akira figured it out for a while before answering.

"You can take it, but I have terms. Basically, I fight whatever I want. I'll follow rough maneuvers, but don't expect fine coordination of troop actions or anything. And if you think you don't win, I'm pulling back at my discretion. I'll call you when I retreat, but I won't stay and fight forever, according to your judgment. I don't want to die. I'll take it if it's good on these terms."

"That's a very convenient condition for you."

"That's mutual. It's an officially non-existent personnel. I'm sorry to be turned into a dumped pawn. So, what do we do?

Now Sikarabe starts to think. Laugh invincibly and answer after thinking enough.

"It would be good. We have a contract."

Akira's contract with Shikarabe was concluded. Now Akira is going to participate in a prize neck crusade, although it is quite anomalous.

Ask Akira with the look of Alpha being a little surprised.

"Akira. Is this good for you? We were supposed to avoid an encounter with the prize neck, weren't we?

'At the very least, at my discretion, I mounted a promise to flee on my own.... With my strength, is it still dangerous?

'Akira, I'm not fighting alone, and I'm not going to stop you. I just suddenly got aggressive. "

'Really? I just thought you should take it if it's relatively safe and well paid. It's also a problem to keep waiting for someone to crusade the bounty neck and not go to the ruins to collect artifacts forever. "

Alpha conceives. It was probably Akira and Elena's conversation that led Akira to that thought. As an alpha, it is not preferable for a being to exist other than itself that greatly dictates Akira's will.

So far, that's acceptable. But I don't know in the future. It would be better to work out measures. Alpha decided that it was dense.

Akira was to remain on the spot face-to-face with other personnel.

Akira moved her seat for now. Because sitting there gets in the way of the next person who comes to negotiate. The table where Shikarabe and the others are is equipped with devices for ordering. Use it to order simple dishes. And wait for the dish to hear the details of the request from Sikarabe.

A brief plan for the prize neck crusade had already been decided. Akira will join Shikarabe and the others in the wilderness a little further from the city tomorrow morning at 4: 00 to defeat the target prize neck, which prize neck is to be crusaded from among the four prize necks is to be decided just before Shikarabe leaves, taking into account information via Drancam and information via another.

At worst, it is also possible that all prize necks have been crusaded by other hunters before departure. But that's also why we can't go on a crusade right now. Shikarabe and the others need a lot of preparation. They're in the middle of that preparation, including the procurement of personnel, and they'll be ready all night afterwards.

A slightly dressed woman brings the dish. The woman was a little surprised to have a child like Akira.

Talk to Shikarabe as she puts the dish in front of Akira.

"That's a new face for a lot of kids. And I can't believe you're upstairs. Shikarabe, are you with me?

"That's right. This guy is busy today and tomorrow. So don't come to sales. Tell the others."

Talk with a smile she's used to.

"I'm not dealing with a kid on a boulder. What about you guys?

"You're telling the master we're busy too. Haven't you heard? All guests in this seat should be excluded."

"You're not getting along. What are you upstairs for?"

"There's a lot going on over here, too. When this job is over and we're celebrating, we're feeling better. Wait till then."

"Don't forget that word, okay?

She laughed provocatively and went home.

Akira asks Shikarabe a little concerned about the conversation.

"What's the point upstairs?

"Oh. The third floor here is a whorehouse. He waitresses upstairs, and he's taking orders from you. It's customary here for anyone who comes purely for a drink to drink on the ground floor."

Upon hearing Sikarabe's explanation, Akira understood why she was about to be driven back by the shopkeeper on the ground floor. Akira turns a mild blame gaze on Shikarabe.

"... it wouldn't be a place to call a child"

Sikarabe replies, laughing lightly.

"Age (assuming) would have nothing to do with hunter operation. Nothing. I didn't designate this place for harassment of Akira. Negotiations with the person who receives the request not to intervene in the hunter's office are more convenient upstairs. Never mind."

Akira exhaled and decided to eat without worrying about it any deeper.

Four men approaching Akira and the others' seats. When Yamanobe notices them, he waves gently and invites them. They are additional personnel and their associates called by Yamanobe. Two men in debt. One man in two watchdogs. And there's one man who's a creditor's agent and negotiator with the Sicarabes.

A negotiator man and a watchman take their seats. The debtors stand behind them. says Tomezima, the man in the negotiator.

"Am I late?

Yamanobe answers a little grumpy.

"Oh. I guess you brought the one that just kept us waiting, huh?

"Of course. If it's okay with Katsuyamako, I can bring as many people as I want, but it's hard to bring people who meet your criteria. Just miss out a little bit. You're strong enough to stick your neck in a bounty neck crusade, and it's tough looking for the one who drinks the terms without the hunter's office intervention, huh?

"That's why I paid you guys a high fee. If this doesn't help, we'll take care of it."

"I know. Shall we start negotiations?"

Yamanobe begins negotiations on the request with Tomezima. Akira was listening to the negotiations as she continued her meal. Next to Akira sits a watchman. That was someone Akira knew. This is Kolbe, a hunter I met before at the ruins of the Higalaka Residential District.

Both Akira and Kolbe noticed each other, but kept silent so as not to interfere with each other's negotiations. But when Akira listens to the Yamanobes and gets some idea of the situation, she really cares and speaks to Corbe.

"... Long time no see"

Akira spoke to me, so I can't ignore it and Corbe answers.

"Good to see you again."

"Are you a watchdog for a debtor hunter? Is that the main business?

"Side business. Borrow the cost of treatment for both arms eaten from the supplier there. I've repaid it, but I'm on the edge of it doing this kind of side business. I still need the money because I want my prosthetic hands back. Why are you in a place like this? What happened to Cheryl's escort?

"Hunter operation is the main business. Cheryl's escort is not the main business."

"Right."

"Yes."

Akira and Kolbe have completed an indescribable conversation. There was a slight but strained air between them. But Akira's breath scattered the air.

"Is that what Corbe was familiar with, like, Guba's debt? If it's surveillance, do it more properly. That would have saved us all that trouble."

Corbe answers with a laugh.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think Giuba was that stupid either."

"Maybe so is Dale?

"No, he's not a debtor, he's not a watchman. It has nothing to do with us."

Hunter intermediaries whose financiers are turning their hands around behind them may be required to register monitored hunters in order to closely monitor the hunters in debt. And pretend to be introduced by chance, to form a watchman with a watchman.

Unrelated hunters are also registered, as they are, for the first time, regular hunter intermediaries who are also authorised by the hunter's office. Dale was one of them. It's just a coincidence that Dale paired up with Corbe.

"I hear Dale sent a long protest to an intermediary after that, but it doesn't make any sense. It's like a financier pretending to be an intermediary to keep the hunter surrounded by a translation. Even if Dale made a scene and the bad reputation of that intermediary spread somewhat, it would not do much good. I was originally a half-dummy vendor. Only Gawa will change it and rebuild it."

"You don't even have Dale on you to sign up for that."

When she heard about Corbe, Akira was whining (crushing) like someone else. Actually, it's someone else.

But Akira's conversation with Kolbe was affecting other humans. It's the man who stood silently behind Tomezima. He was brought here by a hunter named Caddle to pay off his debts.

Kadr looked at Akira and was frustrated. And finally, he becomes unbearable and pinches his mouth in the negotiations of the Yamanobes with a rough voice.

"Hey, is that kid a member too?

Tomezima embarrasses Caddle.

"Don't pinch your mouth on your own. Shut up and wait."

Caddle ignores it and talks quite grumpy.

"... this one's going to fight the bounty neck for his life!? I'm saying I don't want to be added to the team on my own to reduce our rewards by watering down the number of heads that distribute rewards!

The human gaze of the field gathers in Akira. Akira is flat.

Talk as Caddle fingers Corbe.

"And that kid, you know him! How dare you all go around and reduce my rewards!? You're kidding me!

Tomezima listens to Caddle and thinks. Then he giggles that he has the ingredients to move the negotiations forward, embarrassing the caddle with a strong tone.

"Shut up because it's good! Don't pinch your mouth in the negotiations!... Corbe, keep an eye out."

Corbe stands up and stands beside the caddle to hold off the excited caddle. Later Tomezima tells Yamanobe.

"... well, what, you know what he's saying. Even over here, it's a bit of a head count with more kids. Can't you figure it out?

"Specifically? If you're a negotiator, get the specifics out of there."

"I'm not asking you to take that kid off the team, but I want you to lower your reward distribution ratio accordingly."

Tomezima suggested so while looking at Akira. I was told that Drancam is home to a large number of young hunters, and moreover that some hunters wear high-performance gear that is disproportionate to their strength due to Drancam's preferential treatment. I thought of Akira as a young hunter like that.

Caddle's idea is roughly the same as Tomezima's. However, the rating is even worse. I thought the Sicarabes had brought in hunters who had only taken care of their gear in order to conspire with Tomezima to lower the reward for themselves.

Let's see how Yamanobe looks at Shikarabe and Akira. It was Shikarabe who negotiated with Akira. If we are going to change Akira's terms of contract now, we need both Akira and Shikarabe to be satisfied.

Check on Akira with Sikarabe's troublesome look. Akira was restarting her meal in silence, as if she were someone else.

Sikarabe exhales, then declares to Tomezimas with a true face.

"No. Akira and I have already signed a contract for overhead compensation. I won't change that for your convenience."

Tomezima talks with a bitter laugh.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sikarabe answers with a serious look.

"I can only rub (or rub) the distribution ratio according to merit in any way. Payments to that side are for three people on the head, and the number is at least three. There are no changes. Rejoice that Ning is overrated with reciprocity."

Sikarabe answered that by reference to themselves, that is, the three Sikarabes, Yamanobe and Parga. But Kadr took Akira for a reference.

Caddle, who regarded him as ridiculed, shouts outrageously.

"You think I'm below this kid!?

There was still hard reason left in the caddle. But when Akira, who kept eating, saw the screaming caddle with a very troublesome look on her face, exhaled, and returned to the meal like a few things (tsp), the remaining reason disappeared. Kaddle made everything Akira did seem like something to make fun of herself.

Kaddle leaves himself in the heat to pull out the gun and try to poke the muzzle at Akira. Whether you want to kill Akira or just see Akira look frightened with threats, Caddle himself doesn't even know that. I was just in an outrage for an open destination of passion.

Caddle's gun is blown away. Caddle was stuffed with a muzzle in his mouth without having time to be surprised about it. He was then hit hard in the back of his throat and slapped on the floor with his gun clasped.

The stunned and confused Kaddle's sight shows Akira pressing a gun into her mouth. Akira was also the one who blew Kaddle's gun off. Caddle noticed gradually that he wasn't holding the gun. And I looked at Akira, who looked at me with no expression, and gradually understood that I was about to be killed.

Akira pushes her gun harder on the caddle she tries to ramble. Caddle sounded distressed and grown up with a look drawn to fear.

Those who grasp the process from the results get a stunned look. Those who were able to grasp the process smile with mild surprise and praise. The former are the Tomezymas, and the latter are the Sicarabes.

Sikarabe in particular was able to keep a good grip on Akira's movements. Kaddle's move to put up a gun was taking place outside Akira's sight. Nonetheless, Akira reacted to Caddle's movements, quickly stood up, packed the distance, and flew the Caddle's gun with her left hand, pulling out the gun with her right hand and sliding the muzzle into Caddle's mouth.

Kolbe also tried to stop Kaddle, but Akira was faster. Corbe looked at Akira with a glance.

I think Sikarabe laughs lightly.

(… this reaction to movements made outside of sight. Akira had an exact idea of the location of the monster in the basement, far away, but the same technology? Are you constantly operating the information-gathering equipment to constantly monitor your surroundings?... I don't think so. The movement is considered to be the performance of fortified clothing, but the fortified clothing that Akira wears is a different product from when she was underground. Corresponding training should be necessary in order to grasp the physical abilities of the fortified garments and move them fully. Are you using new fortified clothing in this short period of time? Or is the fortified clothing controller excellent?... I don't think so. Hi Akira is the opponent, this kind of blunts your mind)

Shikarabe was praising Akira for her reaction and movement, while exploring something that allowed Akira to react and move. Even if it doesn't hit, they're not far away. It would be evidence of Sikarabe's excellence that led to a relatively close answer.

Despite Sikarabe's recommendation, Yamanobe and Parga were half-hearted about Akira's prowess. But when I saw one end of the strength, I changed my rating. Reconsider that Shikarabe only brought him, and convert Akira as a sufficient force of war.

Akira asks Shikarabe to ask her what nothing is, looking at Kadr's face faceless as she sticks a gun in Kadr's mouth.

"Sikarabe. How much does killing this guy affect tomorrow's operation?

The caddle is strong (frightened). Because it turns out Akira's not a threat, she's usually serious about asking.

Shikarabe was a little surprised, but doesn't respond to forcing Akira to stop.

"It doesn't have as much impact as it does. Looks like he's the one who can't even judge the situation. Whatever you want."

Akira hasn't killed Kadr yet because she's already been hired by Sikarabe. And when Akira killed Kadr, it could have lowered the success rate of the request at Akira's hands. In Sikarabe's reply, however, the majority of the conditions were removed.

My eyes slightly darken when I look at Akira's caddle. Akira's eyes made Kaddur's fright cruel. Caddle's life is a wind torch. But before the light went out, Shikarabe continued to talk.

"If you just kill him on this spot, the owner of this store might charge you for the treatment of the body, the cleaning of the floor dirty with blood, and the repair of the floor with the hole. You can pay for that yourself, right?

Akira talks a little.

"Won't it be an expense?

"No. Do your own dealing with your husband, who will come in yelling at you when you hear a gunshot. I won't help you because I'm a pain in the ass."

Akira exhaled and returned the gun. Akira's willingness to kill Caddle was not strong enough to tolerate the troubles that followed. If this was the wilderness, I would have killed it. If you're in the wilderness, you just have to throw the body away properly. There were quite a few who thought similar things, which had worsened the security of the wilderness.

Akira looks back toward Shikarabe.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to have more trouble staying here. It's early tomorrow. Send tomorrow's rendezvous point and rendezvous time to my information terminal just in case."

"Okay. Be prepared properly. Don't be late, okay?

"Oh. Bye."

That's all Akira says and tries to head up the stairs. But stop once and add.

"... and Shikarabe will hire the fool there on his own, but you better not promise to give him back alive"

"I guess."

Sikarabe replied with a laugh. What Akira wanted to say was well conveyed to Shikarabe as well. Akira left straight up the stairs.

Squirting (crushing) as Yamanobe watches Akira leave.

"Short temper. That's the kind that kills too much and destroys itself."

Returns a positive opinion of Yamanobe, one way or another, for Akira's actions, and Parga, one way or another.

"There's no guarantee the opponent is temperamental, and it's defense for once. Why don't we just keep a good separation around there?

"The divisions around it are getting sweeter. That's exactly where the end of the road is now, isn't it?

That's what Yamanobe told Caddle by pointing to him. Parga is roaring when she looks at the illustrative example.

Caddle is getting himself up and trying to pick up the gun. But Corbe picks up the gun Caddle was reaching for first. Corbe kicked Caddle and rolled him to the floor to make him bow. I command Caddle, whose voice Corbe is raising in agony.

"Go to sleep."

Corbe warns another debtor man.

"You don't do weird copycats either."

There was another man snorting furiously at Corbe.

Yamanobe laughs as he gently intimidates Tomejima.

"Well, you were in the middle of a negotiation.... certainly did not explicitly state to the terms of the additional personnel I told you that I was not an idiot pointing a gun at my side. We haven't got a contract, we haven't started an operation, and I can tell you that we and you are not on our side. Let's talk about it carefully, including checking the area."

Tomezima was dressed as calm as a cold sweat. Tomezima's very painful negotiations have just begun.

Akira was driving around the wilderness late at night or early in the morning at a time when she was lost in judgment. The destination is the rendezvous point with Shikarabe and the others. The aim is a bounty neck crusade.

There's still time for sunrise. Akira went to bed early the day before, but still didn't sleep long enough. Akira is driving with a light drowsiness.

Alpha sitting in the passenger seat tells Akira.

"Why don't Akira get some sleep while I'm driving? If anything happens, I'll wake you up. It's okay. If Akira doesn't get enough sleep, it's an operation."

"Really? Then please... wait, when I'm asleep, won't you let me drive the Alpha? If my consciousness is blurred, it will be difficult to manipulate fortified clothing, etc.?

Akira checked with Alpha once, remembering when she had previously been influenced by Stangrenade.

Alpha laughs and answers.

'No problem. Cars and fortified clothes are different, except when you are sleeping and you are not conscious. "

"Right. Then I asked for it."

Akira didn't quite understand the difference. But I'm guessing there's no problem because Alpha says it's okay. I decided so and decided to take a nap.

Look at Akira, Alpha starting to sleep. Smile (cheeks) Mm. Alpha drove the car with caution so as not to delay the assembly time and not to disturb Akira's sleep.

After taking quite a bit of sleep, Akira is woken up by Alpha.

"Morning. Did you get drowsy?

"... to some extent"

Akira looks around with her unwoken head to see what's going on. The sun is not up yet.

'Why don't you eat something while you're at it? There's no guarantee we'll have time to eat after we rendezvous with the Sycarabes. "

"Right."

Akira takes the hunter's portable food out of her backseat luggage. The bulk of the luggage in the rear of the car is spare ammunition, etc., but once loaded with foodstuffs.

Many portable foods sold for hunters have different parts for sale than regular portable foods.

Something that is seemingly normal in food and taste and texture, but is almost completely digested and absorbed into the body and drained out of the body in very small amounts, which further reduces urination and convenience. Something that can also be used as a substitute for restorative medicine. Something that doesn't adversely affect you if you get into your body for any reason, such as having your stomach destroyed during a meal. Something that absorbs digestion quickly by abnormality. Something that encourages consciousness awakening and enhances concentration. As long as we normally live in the city, it's a product that sells features, effects, and safety that we don't need at all.

Akira had bought a lot of those products to try. The portable food for hunters that Akira has in her hand just looks like a sandwich and coffee. Strongly put, the sandwich is firm and soft, and the coffee is firm and warm. Akira puts them in her mouth in surprise.

"Mm-hmm. Normal. I know this is awesome."

'If you care, why don't you choose next time you care more about the flavor? Is a warm, delicious meal important to boost war?

"Right. I've got a little extra time in my life, and I should be able to have as much extravagance as that. Maybe."

"I don't think it's Hunter's statement that he paid 80 million aurum for his gear without hesitation and didn't hesitate to use two million aurum of restorative medicine at all. Can I eat something a little better from time to time?

"I don't usually complain about that, even if they say so."

The meals Akira eats at home are very much the same as when she was staying at the inn. Still, it is a luxurious enough meal compared to life in Slam Street. So far, Akira is satisfied with her usual meal. Akira also wants to eat better (hey) dishes. But for that reason, I still hesitate to pay a high price on my stomach.

'I wouldn't force you to recommend it. But remember, it's okay to be a little more luxurious. At least to the point where you can easily choose a portable meal for your hunter.'

"Oh, okay. Would you like some more? It was a little short."

Akira reached into the back seat and took additional portable food. Alpha was just a little bit bitter to see what that Akira looked like.

By the time Akira finished her meal, she began to see the rendezvous point designated for Shikarabe and the others. Shikarabe and the others were already standing by at the assembly point.
