Rebuild World

A member of the hunter's office came to Akira. Because Akira contacted the hunter's office once. Reports of monsters wandering the wilderness, mistakenly seen as prize necks that had been supposedly destroyed, were sufficient for the Hunter's Office to dispatch officials.

The leader of the seconded staff was Kibayashi. They've been interrupting when they heard that Akira was the source of a strange report that reached the Hunter's office.

Upon arriving at the scene, Kibayashi was laughing when he listened lightly from Akira to get an idea of the situation and how it happened. Afterwards I manage to laugh and confirm.

"You knocked him down? Take this guy? You alone? Once, per vehicle, about to be eaten? Hey, pushed through the inside, busted, busted, busted, came out..."

Kibayashi's story is interrupted by laughter. He talked to me himself and went into a stallion.

The exaltation in battle had already fallen out of Akira. All that remains is fatigue, worries about the ammunition costs consumed in large quantities and a worsening mood due to mourning that my car has been finalized for scrapping.

Akira answers in a very grumpy manner.

"... yes, I am"

Looks like Akira's attitude inspired something more Kibayashi. Kibayashi laughs even more temporarily, then manages to suppress the laughter and talk in a good mood.

"As always, we seem to be reckless on the ground. I liked it more and more."

"Right. Thank you very much."

Akira fingers the supersynthetic snake apart.

"So, what's the hunter's office's view? What's the deal with this guy I took down?

"Oh. Unfortunately, this guy won't be treated like a bounty neck. I don't know if it's a homologous or a subspecies or a different species or a child, but another monster that looks a lot like it. To that extent. Seems like you've had a lot of trouble knocking it down, but I'm sorry to say, Hunter's Office won't hang a prize on a monster to the point where you can knock it down on your own. Well, that's enough to add a little more color to the general crusade request's destroy reward. Oh, if you haven't received a generic crusade request, I'll tell you that I was. Let's do that."

"Thank you."

Externally, he would be treated as a monster to the extent that a person of about Hunter Rank 21 strength could defeat him on his own if he worked hard. Akira can understand that, too, but she couldn't avoid it until her mood got worse.

Seeing Akira as Kibayashi seems grumpy, she still laughs and talks with pleasure.

"You look unhappy. Well, if you struggle to defeat a prize-necked monster and you can't even get the money for it, then naturally."

"Oh. Even I used ammunition for a long time. Big deficit. Even the car, you can't have that one anymore. That car is the one I just bought recently, right?

"Then I'll make it up to you. If you want to sell us the supersynthetic snake you defeated, I'll multiply it by at least about the cost of ammunition."

"What about the car!?

Kibayashi answers Akira as she eats up, shaking her neck to the side.

"I can't even fill a boulder with a car. Sorry."

"... well. Well, the cost of ammunition alone would help.... Can I go home now? Honestly, I'm tired."

Answer with the expression that Akira is exhausted and distort (boil) her expression.

"So I don't have that car! Oh! Damn it!

Kibayashi will forgive Akira for moaning.

"Don't worry. I'll take you to the city. Well, you look tired, and you can take a nap. I'll wake you up when I get there."

"... well. It really helps.... ha"

"That's about it."

Kibayashi was in a good mood everywhere, as opposed to Akira, who was being draped.

Kibayashi and the others were to return to Kugamayama City first. Other officials appear to remain tentative in investigating the hypersynthetic snake that Akira defeated.

Sleeping like Akira died in the back seat of the car. An official sitting in the passenger seat asks the driver, Kibayashi.

"Is that good? Say that. As far as that carcass is concerned, you should be using a significant amount of ammunition. When I say coloring, I don't think you can compensate for the destruction reward of a generic crusade request, do you?

Kibayashi replies, laughing in a good mood.

"It's fine. I also got some fun combat records. You don't care."

"Oh, really?"

There was something like superiority in Kibayashi's grin. Officials looked a little strange when they saw it, but didn't care deeply because they knew Kibayashi's bad reputation.

The supersynthetic snake that Katsuya and the others defeated and the supersynthetic snake that Akira defeated are identical individuals. The supersynthetic snake was a monster with a body inside. A relatively small body manipulated a giant exterior based on predatory monsters and the like. As humans manipulate giant humanoid weapons.

Katsuya and the others defeated it at the site of the man-made weapon. The main unit was fleeing during the battle. And to escape the main body, it was a decoy and it was rampant.

Akira defeated the main body. There was an even smaller body in it precisely, but Akira had knocked it down before it could be separated. A pile of bullets had hit him.

You can say it was Akira, not the Katsuyas, who really defeated the supersynthetic snake. Kibayashi was aware of it.

Only I know that Akira probably hasn't noticed either. That made Kibayashi in a better mood everywhere.

Kibayashi is not willing to report it. Because reporting it is pointless. The hunter's office has already issued a decision to destroy the supersynthetic snake. Whatever you think, such as revoking the decision to destroy it and replacing it with another hunter, it is very difficult to rub. It would be a very big problem involving Drancam as well.

Also, it is certainly the rashes who defeated such a powerful and dangerous area as to be certified on the bounty neck. It's not enough to change the appearance of the report.

(Well, I'll cover the cost of ammunition.) I think I'll enjoy your impotence again.)

Kibayashi likes Akira. I liked it more and more on this one. Kibayashi was in a good mood laughing, expecting Akira's next impotent (mu) recklessness.

Akira is taking a bath at home. More blurry than usual while dissolving your soul in water than usual.

Akira, back to her home, was lying down to fall in and take a nap. And I woke up in the middle of the night. The fatigue of the fierce battle remained. After I woke up, I was still sleepy but unable to sleep. Akira woke up hard and almost (mostly) unconsciously headed to the bathroom.

Alpha, who bathes with her as usual, stabs a nail (giggle) at Akira, who doesn't seem to wonder when she falls asleep.

'Akira. Be careful not to sleep like that. I think you should go up if you can. If you're bad, you're gonna drown, right?

"... it's okay, it is. I took so many healing pills..."

"It is subtle whether the treatment of injury is the primary remedy to prevent drowning. Besides, when is that supposed to be?

"... that's when.... then...................... Oh, I did. Alpha, you weren't there."

Akira's response came out of her head, which was boiled. The duration of the recovery medication taken in the body of the supersynthetic snake is almost over. I had also forgotten that my connection with Alpha had been broken at that time.

Alpha smiles on the surface and asks carefully.

'You promised to tell me later. You'll be fine now, won't you? What happened then?

"Ah."

Akira tried to talk about her experiences then, try to say something, and shut up. It's not like I don't want to talk about it. I just don't have the skills to explain it to Akira verbally well.

Akira gives up explaining by mouth and instead sends it to Alpha thinking of the sights of that time. Because if you talk, you can send thoughts, imaginations, and sometimes even emotions.

But it was reproduced from Akira's memory. Its accuracy is very poor. The sight of the inner wall illuminated by the flame (muzzle flash) is just blurry and floating. Besides, it's something that floated around in Akira's subjectivity. The mental state at that time has also been omitted. Sometimes I was a little confused, only to the extent that I was out there when I realized I was self-absorbed.

I'm not sure, but it helped. All Alpha could get was that much information from Akira. I couldn't grasp the information Alpha was craving about all sorts of things Akira wasn't aware of.

"You had a rough time."

"Oh. It was tough"

Akira speaks with a slight loosening of her expression.

"But well, you're surprisingly something you can handle. I honestly thought I was going to die. Well, being able to think of that means you didn't die instantly, so maybe you still can afford it."

Speak with a look that makes Alpha look so sorry.

'I wish I could have supported Akira then. Sorry.'

Answer without looking like Akira cared.

"Sometimes that happens. Good thing you trained yourself to act without Alpha's support. Maybe that helped."

Alpha comes up with the idea. Akira must have felt a little confident by taking herself out of her predicament. That is not a problem in itself. It would also help to improve Akira's combat capabilities. But if that confidence weakens Akira's spiritual dependence on Alpha, it needs to be addressed. Before Akira decides Alpha is unnecessary, there's something to deal with.

Alpha smiles.

"I will support you when I can, so please keep relying on me."

Akira laughs and answers, too.

"Of course. Keep it coming."

'Shall I help you quickly then? Shikarabe is asking for a call. You can talk normally because I'm connected. "

When Alpha talks like that, she hears Sicarabe. Alpha is relaying via the information terminal.

"It's a shikarabe. I need to talk to you about the reward, do you have time?

"It's okay."

'If you have time, do you want to talk directly? We're in the last tavern. "

"I'm taking a bath right now. I want to hear the story first as it is. Or are you talking about rubbing so much that you need to meet straight?

'That depends on Akira, but let's just get straight to it. Drain expenses from the prize money and head the rest. That's the reward for Akira. That's the kind of contract. However, as you would expect, the cost of ammunition is significantly higher than planned. So, when I calculate the amount of reward for you, I honestly don't deserve your struggle. "

Akira speaks with a harsh look.

"Did you contact me (intentionally) to stab a nail at a stiff reward?

"Don't be so angry. I admit to your struggle, too, huh? But I'm not willing to increase my reward. I want to avoid imitations that would modify the calculations around it after the request has been completed. The change of hands can be a source of resentment, both in increments and in reductions. It's about money. Understand that. '

Akira shuts up. Understandable and convincing. But just to suppress the worsening of the mood, the worsening itself is inevitable. Sikarabe also grasps it from Akira's silence.

'But as I said, I recognize your work. I think there's something about giving away money for that activity. Right there. The reward isn't money. Why don't you put it away?

"Things?"

"Oh. A car, for example."

"Car!?

"There's a lot more to it. Drancam was in on this bounty neck crusade. Prepare expensive guns, fortified clothes, and vehicles. Many were damaged in battle. So I bought new gear in bulk, but if I repaired it a little bit, I would still be able to use it, and I would update it to a new car together because this is the time. I'll give you that little broken vehicle or something instead of a reward. Nominally, I would have bought it for the reward I plan to pay. Including repairs and maintenance. So you get a pretty high-performance car that's better than buying a new car for the same money. I mean, I can't increase the reward, but I'm going to add that hand tie to the reward instead. Well, if money is better, I won't force you... '

Akira answers desperately.

"The car is good! It's a car! Turn it into a car!

Akira's sword screen returns Shikarabe's slightly pully voice.

'Oh, well. Okay. I'll arrange it. I will contact you later regarding the date and time of delivery. Bye.'

Akira laughed very happy when she ran out of calls with Shikarabe. Alpha speaks with a bitter smile.

"Good for you."

"Oh. Now I don't have to explain to Mr. Sizka that I already smashed that car. I can also save money on buying a new car. Good. You got it."

It was Akira's bounty neck crusade, which was likely to end in a huge deficit, but this avoided things that were hindering the future operation of hunters. Akira continued bathing in a good mood with her face loosened when her concerns were resolved.

Shikarabe and the others are drinking at the last tavern. Among the women they are sending are those whom Shikarabe promised to call at the time of the celebration. Sikarabe was the man who kept the promise of that hand in discipline.

Yamanobe pleasantly asks Shikarabe, who has finished her conversation with Akira.

"What happened? Does Akira and I have to kill each other?

"Oh. I'm so done clapping. You've been wanting a car for a long time."

"Car? He must have joined us in his own car, didn't he? Why do you want a car so badly? Did you even malfunction in the battle with Tankrantula? But you were usually home, weren't you?

"I don't know. Well, I don't care. My concerns are gone. Let's drink."

Sikarabe celebrated with his companions without any particular concern. The bounty rock (just) didn't know that Akira was losing her vehicle after breaking up with Shikarabe and the others.

There is a maintenance ground for hunters in the lower section of the Kugamayama city. It's a facility for prosthetic and cyborg hunters to repair and modify their bodies. It's a facility like a mix of hospitals and factories, with lots of prosthetics in areas close to hospitals and cyborgs in areas close to factories. At that intermediate point, there may also be equipment to convert the body for combat and the body for daily living.

There was Nergo. In a private room where they charge quite a bit, they operate the equipment provided themselves to repair the faulty spot in the battle against the bounty neck. Although the fuselage with limbs does not appear to be problematic at first glance, slight frame distortion (boiling) is present. It's being detected and corrected.

Nergo is contacted by secret communication. Answer that in a way that there is no audio outside.

"It's me."

The voice of a man returns, including slightly bewildered, from his correspondence.

'... uh, what am I supposed to call it now?

"Call me Nergo. I don't like it when you call me comrade."

"Is it Nergo now? Before that, Kane. Before that, what was it?

"It is nothing but a provisional first name, dedicated to righteousness. My first name was also already dedicated to righteousness. That's why I have no first name. First name does not show me, and righteousness shows me. That's why I'm gay."

A man returns a slightly dumb voice.

"I don't mind changing my name a little bit. Then you can call me a comrade too. Then don't miscall me that."

"No. You don't have enough merit and faith to call me that. Especially the faults at the ruins of comrade Kuzsuhara Street. We failed to seize the artifact because of a hunter who mistakenly identified us as an agent of the city. If the comrades had given us information about the hunter, that would have been avoided. '

The voice of a man contains only a few colors that make a small fool of the inconvenient stubborn.

"You call me a comrade, can't you call me a comrade? I'm not sure what the criteria are. I work hard for people for the world, too. First of all, I would have cooperated with you after that, wouldn't I?

"If the plan had changed well, then the end itself would not have been necessary. It won't fill the pit of disorientation."

I can hear the gentle snooze of a man. And I have a bright voice like I've switched my mind.

'Well, no. So, what happened? After that, you said you had the information I gave you, but you were going to infiltrate Drancam to find out who that hunter was? -How 'd it go? I'm the one who forged my background. There's no trouble with that, is there?

Nergo also switches his mind and answers.

'The matter, but the confirmation itself is done. I ran into that hunter by accident today. That hunter wasn't cute, he was another hunter named Akira. He's quite powerful, and he's not a juvenile prosthetic. It also matches the data you gave me. He's not an agent of the city, he's just a boy the city side disguised so as to hide his faults'

'That's why I told you so. I want you to trust me more. You mean you've confirmed the infiltration of Drancam?

'No, continue. An infiltration operation was planned to combine propaganda (to) comrade a hunter who originally belonged to Drancam. It's unnatural to say that you belonged to Drunkham until you fought the bounty neck, but stop joining'

'Right. Well, well, most importantly. Then I'll gather some information on Drunkham. I'll send it later. Bye.'

"Seriously. I have a question."

The man's bright voice returns.

'What? Ask me anything. It's important to discuss and understand. It's an important element in connecting people. The only subject that can't do that is to treat it as a monster anymore. You don't understand. "

Why are you looking for an old realm connector?

"Why (why), is that what you wonder? Wouldn't it be convenient if you were here? That's why the Unified Enterprise and the Founding Fathers are working hard to find the old realm connectors."

'Let's change the question. Why are you looking for an old realm connector in Kugamayama City? No, you're the old realm connector who was at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street?

A man returns silence. Nergo continues with a serious voice.

'I understand your excellence, too. So is Tongyi Lian. In anticipation of its excellence, I also know that you have been invited by the Unified Enterprise. If you're simply looking for an old realm connector, you can eat into the upper levels of the Unified Enterprise Union and look for it from all over the east. It would also be possible for you to gain a higher status and authority to carry it out. Why did you stay in Kugamayama City, just one city in the east, until you turned down the invitation of the Unified Enterprise Company? What makes you so stubborn here?

After a brief silence, the man answers in a slight tone.

"Unspecified human well-being, the realization of salvation and its continuation. You, the Founding Fathers, have often said something similar, haven't you? You guys think it's difficult under the rule of the Unified Enterprise Union, so you're looking to build a nation, right? Same goes for me. That's why I'm working with you. Bye. '

"Let's hope that word is genuine"

The secret line is disconnected. Nergo slightly deforms the face of the machine, which is difficult to see inside.

Nergo was once called Kane. Either way, it will be someone once known as Nergo. A man who abandons his name recalls the person of his correspondent.

(... you are indeed excellent. But there is no good reason for that talent. Then no. You can't call me a comrade. I want you to be a comrade correctly, but I wonder)

A woman who was near Nergo calls to him.

"Mr. Nergo. How's it going?

Nergo answers with a loving voice.

"I didn't see any major faults because of you. I'm just making some fine adjustments right now. Mr. Mizha. Thank you so much for introducing us to a very good maintenance area."

Mizha answers lovingly.

"It's fine. From now on, I am a colleague working in the same workplace. Naturally."

"It's totally gratifying. Serious (decent) maintenance was also difficult and helpful in the previous workplace. Oh, if you say thank you, I have to thank a boy named Katsuya, too. What would have happened by now if I hadn't gotten him help. I would like to thank you in person. Oh, is it okay for a new recruit to say this?

Nergo had been helped by Katsuya where he was at risk during his engagement with the Big Walker.

Mizha is a little surprised. Nergo is the person who joined Drancam in the legend of Sikarabe. That's why I thought it was an ancient faction.

Nergo's strength is considerable. If you have no quarantine against Katsuya, it's no harm to take it in. Mizha decides so and smiles lovingly.

"It's okay. I'll tell Katsuya to take the time to introduce Mr. Nergo later."

Thank you. I'll sit down.

Nergo replied with a loving voice.

Surely Katsuya was helping Nergo. But no one realized that the situation in which Nergo was in crisis was intentional and an act to get into the Katyas.

A man talking to Nergo earlier is smiling thinly in a room in a skyscraper within the walls of the Kugamayama city.

"I think your cause is splendid too, don't you? But no. Not enough. There is not enough overwhelming power to make that great cause happen. I can get that power. Once again, we just have to go to that place."

I laugh when a man sees a card in his right hand. The black card had a prominent crest on it.

"I got the keys. All you have to do is go in front of the door. With that means, we can get to that place again."

The crest is the national seal of the nations of the old world. The state had a large city as its capital, which included the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street as part of it. And this card is a relic of the old world obtained from the back of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. This is a valuable item obtained by a man who led a special unit of the Unified Enterprise Company.

The majority of the monsters in the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street were directed to Kugamayama City, causing the city's defense forces to exterminate them in large quantities to temporarily significantly reduce the difficulty in the back of the ruins, on which they even picked up front-line equipment to cope. It is an extremely important artifact that cannot be obtained without that much and is worth doing so.

But there are very few people who know its value. Specifically, about this guy.

"I'm not looking for an old realm connector. I'm looking for the one that might be behind it. He interrupted my dream. I just want to make sure you don't get disturbed this time."

The look on the man's face gets more rude.

"You're looking, aren't you? The next one. But the old realm connector who can see you shouldn't be. Or have you found it yet? But it shouldn't be that easy to get to that place. There's got to be time."

A man looks out the window. You can see the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street in the distance.

"Do you think you're gonna get ahead of me?"

The man who stared out the window was Yanagisawa.

The Bounty Neck Crusade brought a variety of things to a variety of people. Some of these days will be a major turning point, while others were unchanged routines. Those who have gained, and those who have lost, if they have survived, their days will continue. Like before, like in the future.

All the prize necks around Kugamayama City were crusaded that day.

The next day, Akira was again visiting the lower section of the pleasure district.

It's a little early in the time when the pleasure zone is busy. Still rubbing off with many hunters. I guess there is a constant demand for all the time in the shops that you build.

Akira was once again on her way to the tavern where she had previously been summoned by the Sikarabes. However, this time Akira was summoned by Kolbe and his employer, Tomezima.

Tomezima wants to negotiate hand-to-hand with Akira about Akira's attempted murder of a debtor hunter named Kadr before. Akira was told that by Corbe. I could ignore it, but when I left it, I felt like I was going to have a lot of trouble, so I decided to take a trip to the liquor store, even though I was a little bothered.

On the way to the tavern, Alpha asks Akira.

'Akira. The negotiations themselves aren't going to stop me either, but what's Akira going to do? Do you want me to get the right settlement money?

Akira gives me a slightly troubled look.

'... what shall I do? Actually, I don't have a very good idea. Even the other person won't be willing to give a lot of money. That's the problem with change. "

That you tried to kill Akira. Akira's future life is at stake if it is judged to be a matter of the degree to which it is resolved by coins. Cheap lives are so easy to kill.

It doesn't fit the bill. Let the other person make that decision. That's the biggest way to defend yourself. At least that's what Akira thought.

"I wish I had a good drop."

'It's over there that you've been getting your hands on, and let's have plenty of trouble over there. If you've been doing some weird imitation, that includes getting you to regret it.'

"Right."

Unlike last time, Akira has been carrying a CWH objective assault gun and a DVTS minigun. Just in case.

Akira doesn't trust Tomezymas as much as the Shikarabes. Plus, last time I checked, it wasn't the kind of store where hunters would be pissed off if they brought in a little bigger gear. I'm not willing to make a scene from myself, but I don't know until they respond. Already once, the other party has shown a real example.

It's still a little early for the time when the downtown area shows a glossy (ah so) side. Akira headed to the tavern overlooking the downtown area showing another side.
