Rebuild World

If I thought Parga had given Akira instructions, the monster who had instructed him to deal with it had already been defeated by Akira. Parga was also a little surprised by the boulder. He hastily confirmed his enemy response and confirmed that Akira's response was not a mistake. And with surprise I replied to Akira and cut the communication.

Ask Shikarabe with Parga's intriguing look.

"Sikarabe. Where have you found that one? No. How did you confirm his prowess?

"We used to act a little bit together in the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. That's when the hang-up happened."

"Oh, that one? Surely the one where a big nest of yarata sasoris was found in the basement and a massive sweep operation was carried out? You talked about the Katyas earning a lot of hunter rank and reward with that. Was Akira part of the sweep operation?"

Sikarabe shakes her neck to the side.

"No, it's not. In the first place, Akira left on her way to request underground security in about three days. I'm not in the sweep operation. I was cut off when I acted with another hunter as one of the underground expeditions."

And he said, "That's great. Did you do it?

"No, it wasn't me and the other hunters. That's about it."

Parga gives me a surprising look.

"Then why did you invite Akira? For now's sake, there's no basis for judging Akira as the one who bothered to invite her to a bounty neck crusade, is there? Was it also something interesting in the history of hunter operations?

Yamanobe denies Parga's story.

"No, there was nothing like that. It's the one Sikarabe deliberately invited, and I saw yesterday's move. I took a little peek at Akira's hunter page on the hunter's office site after that. There was nothing interesting on it. He's a young hunter and has a Hunter Rank of 21. I worked a little hard on the monster crusade and increased my rank early. That's what it looked like."

Talk as Parga looks at Shikarabe in wonder.

"Then why? Is that it? Is that a sicarabe account? You're telling me you're not a good hunter."

Sikarabe replies with a gentle laugh.

"I'm not going to let the boulders hang out with you guys on my account. Sure, the hang-up is like a hunch. It's a solicitation after considering another piece of information."

When Shikarabe spoke that way, he took out his information terminal, manipulated it a little, and then gave it to two people, who confirm what was displayed on the information terminal he was given.

Yamanobe speaks a little surprised.

"Copy of the Hunter Office page? That's why I saw this."

"Guess from what I'm purposefully making it a local copy. It's restricted information that can't be viewed unless it's an inside person bought from an informer. Look for the difference between what Yamanobe saw."

Yamanobe manipulated Sikarabe's information terminal to try to find a difference from what he saw.

"... there's a difference in the history of the request. The description of the request in the basement of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street is somewhat short...... Hmm!?

Yamanobe's expression changes something surprising. Yamanobe reads out a short description.

"External Confidentiality Request of Kugamayama City Sales Department.... the details of the request... cannot be viewed. Oh, you copied it from an unauthorized official. Is it only possible to view an overview of the requested location, etc."

Sicarabe pinches her mouth.

"The approximate reward amount is also viewable. Look at that."

Yamanobe and Parga confirm the amount of compensation requested. The look on the faces of the two people who saw the amount fills me with surprise.

Speak as Yamanobe reconfirms the amount of the reward.

"160 million aurum!? That guy, he was a hundred million + million hunter!

Over 100 million is a hunter whose reward for a single request exceeds 100 million in corporate currency, and is one of the guiding principles for demonstrating the strength of the hunter. Naturally, it is not an area where an elephant hunter can reach it.

As is customary, at least once, if a hunter whose compensation has achieved more than 100 million requests in corporate currency, there is no problem in claiming more than 100 million hunters.

But if you want others to treat you as a hunter of more than 100 million, you have to prove it in some way. It is difficult to be treated as more than a hundred million hunters by others when it comes to confidential information. Except for those who can see the information.

Parga speaks with admiration.

"... it says that 60 million aurum is offset by treatment costs, etc. Still, it's a hundred million orum reward. Doesn't it make a difference to a hundred million + Hunters...... It makes sense."

Parga continues to smudge with surprise.

"What bothers me is that Akira isn't the one who's hiding this request. Instead of simply not being able to view this hidden method, superficial information has been altered. Has the city of Kugamayama requested the Hunter's Office to rewrite it with its own acknowledgement? What happened? What happened?

Answer Parga's question with Sikarabe laughing lightly.

"There was a noise in the basement the day Akira left on the way. It's a battle between an artifact raider and the Kugamayama City Guard. A large number of hunters who were in the underground were caught up in the crime aimed at relics with ownership in the city collected in the underground. Don't you know?

"I know. Sounds like the defense has lightly cracked down on the artifact raiders. You were on the news site small."

"Perhaps that's the details of a confidential request. My guess, though. I guess Akira got involved in that in some way. So Kugamayama City did just the job of paying 160 million aurum. To some extent, it would be the amount including the shutdown fee, and I can't make a simple comparison, but if you simply compare it with the amount of the reward, Akira is equal to us. You convinced?

Yamanobe laughs invincibly and answers.

"Convinced. In case you step down on the reward for Akira, Sikarabe's in trouble, huh?

Shikarabe laughs invincibly and returns it.

"What, defeating even one bounty neck is black enough. Let's do our best to reward Akira."

That's what the Sicarabes said and laughed at each other. Life risk calculations are a common hunter's routine. The difference in degree is that you're risking your life more than you're out in the wilderness. High-risk high returns are normal.

Akira chats with Alpha, which means she keeps driving in silence on the surface. At least, there's no conversation between Akira and Togami.

The look on Togami's face basically remains grumpy. From that expression, however, the appearance that the inner anger a while ago was on the verge of decimation had disappeared, instead showing vigilance and anxiety for the unsuspecting opponent. The togami had been watching Akira many times before.

Alpha asks Akira.

"I've been looking at Akira many times since just now, but can I just leave her alone?

'It's a hassle to deal with once. You can't just throw him out of the car because you're looking at me. Let it go.'

Akira is also aware of Togami's gaze, but decided not to care. At least I'm not willing to deal with Togami unless he talks to me from Togami. Same goes for those who didn't need a response.

"If Akira doesn't care, I don't mind, but you don't care?

'To be honest, I'm a little concerned. But it's worse than trouble. "

'You should have said no properly from the beginning. I failed.'

'You won't have a choice. It was an instruction from my employer, and I didn't think I'd drink those terms. "

Alpha smiles a little too bad and talks.

'You have no choice. Shall we wait for the opportunity to throw it in Sicarabe's car'

"I hope you don't get that chance."

Akira answered that troublesome.

Togami continued his reflections on Akira.

Akira sensed the monster's presence earlier than the Shikarabe and the others instructed her to aim for a monster that was at a distance from the top of the shaking car and let him hit it with one shot and knock it down with just that one shot. Determine if Togami can do the same to himself. The answer came right away. I can't.

Sniping from a rocking body is difficult in the first place. Even if it doesn't shake, it's hard to get a monster at a distance to hit it. To defeat with a single blow, even if it is hit, it is necessary to aim precisely at the weak spot or use a powerful bullet with a large recoil. That both jumps the difficulty of sniping. If you are going to defeat a large monster in one blow, you will need to meet both of those conditions.

Togami is strong enough to be encouraged to participate in the Bounty Neck Crusade. However, even if he had unduly added complacency to his strength, he was not sure to replicate Akira's actions earlier.

Besides, it was Akira from Hunter Rank 21 who was supposed to be understated who ran it. As a result, the agitation of Togami was great.

If I heard it, I could laugh with my nose, deciding it was a lie or a joke. But Togami took a good look at Akira's behavior with his own eyes.

It can also be cleaned up by chance. An event with a probability of one in 10,000 occurred the first time by chance. Maybe that's all. But I couldn't assume that for Togami. To assume that, Akira's behavior was too natural and untouched.

I just did what I could easily do. The bug flying in front of me was blind, and I just paid it by hand looking grumpy. Togami could only feel that degree of impression from Akira. Akira had naturally returned to the driver's seat untouched, even though she had been restrained (or restrained) from achieving a divorce impossible for her.

In Togami's head, where he continues to think, his appreciation of the existence of Akira continues to wander between a busy underground hunter and something he doesn't know. And emotionally, the feeling of not wanting to acknowledge Akira's prowess makes me intolerably ask for that basis.

"... hey, don't get on with such a mess. I can't admit that's your strength."

Whether it was just a coincidence or a solid aim to hit, Togami just wanted to hear it. But the words out of my mouth had turned into something that reflected my aspirations considerably.

Akira looks at Togami chills and answers like it's nothing.

"Right."

That's all I said and put my gaze back forward. It's a word that affirms Togami's words if interpreted normally. It is impossible without Alpha's support, and Akira affirms it if she is told she has no such strength. I continue my daily training so that one day I can do the same with my strength alone.

Togami smiles hard when he hears Akira's reply.

"... Ha. Is it just a coincidence, after all? Threatening. That's right. There's no way I can do that to someone like Rank 21."

Togami laughed as he told himself. Yu (more) also because Togami himself couldn't believe it enough, the grin had drawn hard.

There is a base in Drancam outside the lower section of the Kugamayama city. Drancam's bounty neck crusade team, made up mainly of young hunters, was nearby preparing to leave. Young hunters are transporting supplies to wilderness specifications vehicles, armoured vehicles and armoured personnel carriers.

Elena and Sarah were waiting to leave in their car in front of them to see the sights around them. Elena and Sarah are auxiliary personnel to these young hunters' bounty neck crusade team. It is their job to fight under their command; the two had been ready the day before, and the waiting continued after receiving the kind of communications aircraft used in Drancam.

(Sniffles) Squirting as Sarah watches the hunters on the Bounty Neck Crusade team.

"There's a lot of people, but you're just really young. There are hunters as old as Akira, and although I don't intend to discriminate on the basis of age, I'm a little nervous that there are so many young people here. Do you know what the Bounty Neck Crusade means? It's not the same as crusading a little strong monster, is it?

The longer you have a hunter history, the more unknown hunters you get. Still of unknown age, their looks are basically from adulthood onwards. Hunter's gear is basically standard for adults, so there are many hard-to-handle gear in a child's physique, and no hunter dares (ah) to try to maintain a child's physique unless he is so constrained (particular).

For such reasons, the hunter who looks like a child is almost as likely to be a child as he looks. Since I am a child, I naturally have a shorter hunter's history, and those with strength will also correspond to it. There are rare (rare) exceptions.

Sarah was watching the young hunters being prepared while they were waiting. I didn't think Sarah had much of a hunter enough for them to take part in the bounty neck crusade.

Talk to Elena to ease Sarah's anxiety.

"Numbers and gear are enough for a prize neck crusade. Even considering the vehicles used, a budget has been prepared that assumes the success of the crusade. Even if you succeed in the prize neck crusade, the more subtle it is whether it is black or not. They hire us for reserve combat, and there are a few other similar hunters, and not all of them are young hunters, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Sarah frowned a little.

"... that, by interpretation, sounds like we have to babysit."

"You don't have to interpret it. You're right. Apart from winning-head crusades, the unit's survival rate increases and decreases the rewards for us. Especially if the crusade captain is killed, it will be greatly reduced. I don't need to be forced to protect you because it's not a request for an escort, but if you don't want your reward to be greatly reduced, you need to protect your captain so he doesn't kill you, so we can take down the prize neck early. Oh, this is a confidentiality area, so you can't talk to anyone?

"Okay.... I heard that Drancam favours young people, but not so far. I wonder what Drancam thinks about letting him go on a bounty neck crusade with babysitters."

Sarah said with a slightly light-hearted look.

Elena jokes and talks.

"It could be our bias when it comes to their strength. They could all be strong like Akira, right?

"That scares me."

"So is that."

That's what Elena and Sarah said and laughed at each other.

I noticed Elena and the other young hunters approaching me. Elena laughs at the leading hunter.

"Captain Katsuya. Maybe it's time to leave?

They are Katsuya, the captain of the Bounty Neck Crusade to which Elena and the others belong, and Katsuya's companions and their surroundings. He is also a top member of the force led by Katsuya. They point the gaze of various emotions at Elena and the others.

Katsuya has a slightly lit look when Elena calls her captain.

"Yes. I'll be leaving soon. Thank you for your patience today."

Katsuya meets Elena and the others lightly. Elena smiles too, so she replies.

"It's good to meet you. Good luck."

"Me and Elena are going to work hard on the reward, so don't hesitate to use it."

Sarah answered with a laugh as well.

"I'll do my best to keep the two hands out of trouble, too."

Katsuya grins and answers that, then squeezes her expression once.

"I will ask Elena and the others to accompany me once and for all in the form of entering under my command. You may be uncomfortable under my command, but if you move on your own, you'll be confused around, so follow my instructions unless you need to."

Katsuya is also proud to have been named captain of the Bounty Neck Crusade Force. We are going to do everything we can to make the Bounty Neck Crusade a success. For this reason, I was not willing to allow Elena and the others to behave on their own because they were friends. To convey it, Katsuya looked at Elena and the others with a serious look.

Elena answers with a smile.

"It's okay. I'll follow your instructions."

Neither Elena nor Sarah can see how she was offended. Loosen the look like Katsuya was relieved.

Except for those who were offended by the removal of Katsuya and Elena. It's a girl named Lilina, who was next to Katsuya.

Lilina makes a loud noise without hiding her discomfort.

"Katsuya! It's our captain, so don't go badly because you know him, shut up and follow my instructions and say something about it!

Katsuya looks at Lilina with surprisingly rigidity. Elena and Sarah also look at Lilina with a slightly surprised look. The rest were half of those who were a little surprised and half who were in agreement.

If Yumina were here, she would stop Lilina and go into arbitration. But Yumina was not on this spot during work on another preparation.

Katsuya remains surprised and confused. There is no one to stop, so Lillina continues to look at Elena and the others with a light glance.

"Do you have more attitude toward your employer and the captain of your unit than you are under our command at our request?" Being tamed because you know Katsuya affects the morale of your troops!? Aren't you not aware enough that you're hired!?

Elena and the others were neat, but had a slight bitter smile.

Lilina, who felt ridiculed, makes her expression even more daunting. Katsuya, who returned to me, rushes to stop Lilina.

"Lilina! Will you shut up for a second!

Talk like Lilina blames Katsuya.

"What! First, why did Katsuya allow external personnel to be accepted? Are we the only ones who don't have the strength? Are we so stuffed?

"Well, that's not why..."

Katsuya wandered in Lilina's curtain of power. Lilina looks at Elena and the others again and declares to throw up.

"One or two of the prize necks, we can take them down without you! Please be careful not to disturb us!

Lilina said that and returned quickly with momentum to her heels.

Katsuya lets her gaze wander between Elena and Lillina as she grates a little.

"Shh, excuse me! Now excuse me!

Katsuya left Elena and the others saying so and hurried after Lilina. Elena and the others waved gently and dropped off the Katsuya and the others.

Soon the other young hunters will return. I just went back to two people, Elena and Sarah, and Sarah talks with a bitter laugh.

"It's a tough future."

Elena laughs lightly and talks.

"In the meantime, let's work for the reward. If we really don't need it, it's a good thing it's easier."

"You think you can make it easier?

"Oh, I told you, didn't I? Let's work for the reward."

That's what Elena and Sarah said and laughed at each other. It will never be easy, and Ning will not hesitate to do anything but get paid. Both Elena and Sarah had come to the same conclusion.

Akira and the others are well on their way to the wilderness.

Togami had regained some calm. There is no real harm other than seeing Akira with an occasional look of surprise from the passenger seat of the car.

Sikarabe's voice comes from the comms. Sycarabe's tone is serious.

"It's time to enter the assumed encounter zone with the prize neck of the crusade goal. The prize neck for the crusade goal is Tankrantula. The prize money is 800 million aurum. Get in the mood."

Refrain from a full-scale battle with the bounty neck, Akira and Togami's expression changes. The two listen to Shikarabe's instructions with a serious look.

"Nos. 2 and 3 precede us after the battle begins. Cover number two and three for everyone. Attract Tankrantula's attack and be thorough with the Decoy and Traction so that Nos. 2 and 3 are not targeted. Check their positions on the comms display and surround them effectively. Don't use the rocket launcher until I give you my instructions. I'll move on to full attack as soon as I'm done with work number two and three. That's it. Any questions?

Togami listens to Shikarabe's rather messy maneuvers and asks her face a little.

"It's number eight. The contents of the operation are too messy. Are there no moving routes, positioning positions, instructions on when to attack, etc?

"Except for the decision to withdraw, make your own ad hoc decision."

"On an ad hoc basis, you mean do whatever you want?

"I haven't thought of it from the beginning as a coherent population enough to be able to operate an effective force. Take your best hands. I'll give you directions if I have to."

Togami talks without hiding his dissatisfaction.

"... anything at all would be fine. Isn't that your job to command the troops?

Togami's opinion is not incorrect. There are many appropriate parts of Sikarabe's instructions, and there are parts that discard the advantages of collective combat that complement each other and attack effectively. More effective attacks would be possible if more intensive and precise attack plans were prepared and each acted in tandem.

Sikarabe understands that, too. I do not draw up detailed operations because I believe that it would be futile or counterproductive to do so. Only colleagues Yamanobe and Parga trust Shikarabe. I do not believe that other personnel will follow my instructions exactly. I believe that there is a good chance that he will be scared, frightened, scared, and in some cases even flee on his own in a battle with the prize neck.

Sikarabe only wants a minimal job from them. I don't even think they would follow their instructions exactly. Instead of giving them instructions that they can (or can) not do, and increasing the likelihood of buying objections and escaping on their own, it is better to just give them vague instructions. That's what Sikarabe had decided.

Of course (of course), if Sikarabe has a divine command capability, and it is possible to give them precise, actionable instructions after grasping the abilities and personalities of the debtor hunters and contextual hunters whom I just met yesterday, it is different. Sikarabe understood that she did not have such abilities.

Shikarabe speaks in a slightly stronger tone.

"Can't you do anything without detailed instructions? Then don't just stand in our way. Whatever you want. Any other questions?

There was no one else with questions besides Togami. And Togami was trembling with anger, not the other way around.

"That's it if you don't have any questions. Work for each reward."

Communication from Sikarabe expires. Togami kept staring at the comms.

The line goes straight for the prize neck.

Sikarabe stares at the surrounding sights displayed on the display device of the car's control device and the enemy reaction. The prize neck is huge. It should be easy to find if you're close enough. Sikarabe gives instructions on the comms.

"Start your own scattering. It should be solidified."

Shikarabe turns to Yamanobe and Parga; the second and third are Yamanobe and Parga.

Yamanobe and Parga want to cross (also) wilderness spec motorcycles in armoured personnel carriers. To open the rear door of the vehicle body and go straight outside. Yamanobe has an objective sniper gun and Parga has a recoilless gun. The rear of the bike was equipped with an ammunition depot with an automatic loading device, coupled with the equipment of the passengers.

Sikarabe asks the two of them.

"Are you ready over there?

"The final check is done. I can go anytime."

"This way too."

Yamanobe and Parga replied with an extra grin. A light exaltation emerged from a moderate tension.

Shikarabe asks.

"I don't know how serious the others are going to be. I'm going to be your decoy in this car, so why don't you go outside while you still can?

Parga shakes her neck to the side.

"No, at least not until we know where the subject is. It's creepy (first) when you get stuck in a boulder and take a direct hit on a motorcycle. I'm guessing the armor on this car is solid, huh?

"Oh. Even if you get a concentrated attack, you'll have it for a while. When the endurance of this car gets worse, retreat. Don't push yourselves either."

"I know. It's the hunters who come home alive. I'm not dying of greed."

Shikarabe and the others laughed invincibly at each other. Always hang hazards and rewards on the scale to make accurate decisions. Hunters are swallowed up in the wilderness and die when greed increases the weight of rewards and makes them relatively less dangerous. So far, Shikarabe and the others are alive. And I didn't intend to continue to die.

Sikarabe returns her gaze to the display device. That look adds seriousness at once. I found the prize neck.

Shikarabe gives instructions to Akira and the others aloud on the comms.

"I discovered Tankrantula! Let the battle begin!
