Rebuild World

108 Eating more than colour

Akira and the other transporters departed from the take-off and landing site in the Serantaru building and passed temporarily. Carol's excitement over her release from the dead also largely subsided. Akira walked away from Carol a little hard where Carol's arm was loose, as she was going to be held tight all the time when she left him alone.

Carol checks on Akira. Akira's expression is not grumpy. If you're in a good mood and you judge by bad mood, you'll fall into the good category. But for being buried in the face in the beauty's busty chest, I didn't see anything like sexual excitement.

Carol deals with many hunters as a side business of hunter operations. A physical enhancement expander who strengthens and expands the body with a nanomachine for the advantages of both the main business and the side business. In order to improve beauty and physical ability, he puts a note (s) on his body of the amount of clothing that can be bought if combined.

I also had the experience of driving the life of a man I dealt with in a side job crazy with that seductive body, and Carol was pretty confident in her body. But in the sense of sexual interest in the opposite sex, Akira's interest in Carol is very weak. Carol grasped it from Akira's expression and felt a strange sense of defeat.

Carol laughs and tells Akira without putting its insides on the table.

"Oh, that's inconvenient. Are you sure you want to have some more fun? I don't mind going further. Like I said, you don't have to pay for it, do you?

"Don't be shy. It was Carol who held me in the first place. It's not me. And I'm still at work. It would be in the middle of Carol's escort. Don't let the people you hire get in the way of your job."

"You're serious."

"You want me to escort you to an unscrupulous one?

"Best of all. Copy that. I'm trying to be nice."

Carol pulled back a lot because it was likely to hurt Akira's mood if she stayed any longer.

Akira, away from Carol, looks at the sight outside the transporter from her small window with interest. The view from the flying transporter was entertaining enough for Akira.

Carol looks at Akira. Akira looked younger than she looked as she shined her eyes and saw the view outside. It doesn't seem very much like a hunter who has shown so much strength, be it in Serantalville.

(Looking at it like this, you're a normal kid. Still doesn't look old enough to be interested in women.)

Carol's chest remains boldly open. Expecting Akira to change her mind, she intentionally left it open until she was pointed out. The valley of the soft-skinned chest peeking through the gap in the bodysuit zipper is a great way to gather the gaze of a healthy man.

However, Akira's gaze continues to draw attention to the view outside the transporter. It seems that's more important to Akira now.

Another strange sense of defeat, Carol asks Akira in a slightly thorny tone.

"Is the view outside that much fun?

"Fun"

Akira replied softly. It was almost instant. It was an unmistakable answer.

Talk like Carol squeaks (crushing) in a slightly more insurmountable tone.

"... yes"

Akira noticed a slight sense of intimidation from Carol and misresponded. Alpha is laughing next to Akira. In the meantime, Akira tries to change the subject so that it can be misdemonized.

"You're headed for a factory compartment takeoff and landing site at the ruins of Mihazono Street. How soon are we gonna get there?

"About 15 minutes."

"... I feel like it's pretty late for something. It must be an old world-made transporter, right? More like this, I feel like we can get there in no time with great speed."

"It's scary and dangerous, so I want you to stop it even if it's possible."

Akira, wondering Carol's response, turns her gaze back to Carol and asks.

"Why? Isn't that more convenient to get there right away?

Carol also looks a little strange, then immediately realizes why and answers.

"Ah well. You don't know Akira. Akira hears about Hunter's ride, what comes to mind?

"You know, cars and tanks. Some hunters on a man-made weapon say it's more east?

"That's all a ground ride, isn't it? Don't you think it's okay to have fighters or hunters who use combat helicopters? Besides hunters, don't you think it's okay for fighters and combat helicopters to be deployed as an armed force for city defenses and corporate execution units? Transport of supplies between cities takes place by car or train. Don't you think we could use a transporter? But it's not used at all. Why do you think that is?

"... you sure do when they say that. Why?"

Akira couldn't think of a reason to be convinced.

Explain to Akira why Carol is a little better at it.

"Because the monsters will attack you. The higher and faster you move, the stronger the monster."

Carol began explaining to Akira why the aircraft would not be used excessively in the east, unconsciously delighted that Akira's gaze had returned toward her.

A wide variety of monsters live in various places in the east. Its intensity varies from habitat to habitat, but there are two general guidelines.

One is by the east and west of the place. The eastern monsters become stronger to the east, closer to the frontier, which is the border with the unreached reaches, and weaker to the west of the east, closer to the border of the Union of Central Ruling Nations.

The other is due to the altitude of the place. Monsters are also commonly found in the sky, and are as powerful as monsters that live above them.

There are also many factors that increase the rate of encounters with monsters, but there is also a rough guide to that. The bigger, faster, and higher you travel, the better chance you have of encountering powerful monsters.

In other words, traveling at high speeds through the eastern skies would fatally increase the rate of encounters with very powerful monsters. Sometimes they attract powerful monsters from above by the time they are out of place. For this reason, it may be forbidden to use aircraft of any kind in the vicinity of a city. If used without permission, it is determined that they are trying to attract powerful monsters to the city, and are sometimes shot down without question by the city's defense forces, etc.

Because of those circumstances, ground vehicles are mainly used for travel in the east. It should be noted that there is nothing technically wrong with the production of the aircraft itself. There have been wars in the past between companies affiliated with the Unified Enterprise and states affiliated with the United Nations, but both factions normally used fighter jets.

Akira, who was listening with interest to Carol's story, applies the transporter we're on to that description.

"Is that it? Doesn't that make this transporter pretty dangerous, too?

"So I guess you're deliberately slowing down your flight with high-performance camouflage features. Actually, as Akira said, we can get to our destination in no time at a much faster pace. Ignore the odds of encountering powerful monsters."

"You know what?"

Akira snorted convincingly.

Carol was in a pretty good mood watching Akira listen to herself with interest. Keep talking that might interest you so you don't put Akira's gaze back out the window.

"Speaking of which, does Akira know? Ground and underground are not the only ruins of the old world. It's in the sky."

"The sky? Are the ruins floating in the sky?

"They've got floating fortresses in the old world, giant aircraft, all sorts of things. Sometimes if it's clear weather in the wilderness but there's a huge shadow on the ground, and there's nothing to look up at, there's something huge flying with camouflage features. There are stories of colorless fog in the east scattered all the way through the sky from the days of the old world. When the fog suddenly darkens without color, there are theories that something is passing through the sky."

"... well. If we can get there somehow, there's going to be a lot of great artifacts."

"Looks like there are quite a few hunters looking for empty ruins. I also hear that Tong Qi Lian is sponsored. Seems like a different difficulty than exploring the ruins on the ground, but you think the survey team has a large number of high-ranking hunters in it?... I guess there's something like romance."

Carol spoke with a slightly emotional look. Among the hunters Carol dealt with in the side business, he said it was his dream to find empty ruins. At the end of the day, the hunter and his opponent were delighted to be part of the investigation team in Conne. Then Carol hasn't been reunited with that hunter. Probably dead.

Akira made reality a priority, even though she felt something a little distracted by the word flying ruins.

"Romance? Like I know. Like I don't. I can't afford to go to the ruins with romance."

"If Akira grows up, she'll know."

"Really?

"That's right."

Carol replied with a smile to Akira, who curiously tilted her neck.

A transporter arrived at his destination while Akira and the others continued to chat about hunter operations. The door opens automatically when you are ready and waiting in front of the freight compartment door.

I put Carol back to her neck like I remembered the zipper that left her open before getting off the transporter. Akira followed suit.

When Akira and the others descend, the transporter door closes again. The transporter returns to a state of total ignorance without staring at it at close range. If someone had seen Akira and the others, they would have suddenly appeared on the spot from nowhere.

Many factories and their warehouses line the factory section of the Mihazono Street site. It's basically abandoned, but some of it's still in operation. It's a dangerous place where security mechanical monsters roam.

There's basically nothing around the takeoff and landing site where Akira and the others are. There are just cracked pavements spread out. Other transporters may exist, but even so, Akira and the others didn't know.

Carol makes the stretch once and then tells Akira.

"Well, could you escort me to the hunter's office outpost, please?

"I know.... Which one?

This is the first time Akira has ever been here. That's why Akira is now in front of the lost. Fortunately, the take-off and landing site is like the border between the wilderness and the ruins, so if you walk along that border, you'll arrive sooner or later.

"This way."

Carol smiled bitterly and pointed in the direction of her progress.

Akira and the others continue along the border between the ruins and the wilderness with Carol's guide. Carol asks Akira on the way.

"What is Akira going to do after this? You gonna keep collecting artifacts?

"No, I'm going to cut it up and rest already today. Tired of boulders. I don't have the energy to look for artifacts now. So I'm not extending my escort or anything."

"It's okay. Because I'm going to cut it off already today, too. I mean, Akira's free after this, right?

"... say you're free, or you get some rest. I'm tired."

"Want to rest with me?

That's what Carol told me with a glossy laugh. I found out that Akira was also invited to the boulder.

"I don't like it. I'm off."

"It's not good. We dived the dead line together, didn't we? Even though I asked Akira to escort me, I owe you one for saving my life. Give me back my thanks."

"I have received a good reward for the request, and I say that the relics of the old world will be filled, and I am not going to ask for additional rewards. Well, if you still care, you can have some extra time for dinner. You're welcome to eat."

Carol talks in a slightly mean tone with a look that mixes bitterness and discontent.

"It involves my vouchers to the extent that they saved my life."

"I'm sorry about that, but I don't mind a store that pays a million aurums for a meal. I don't feel like going with my own stomach at all, but if you can afford a luxury, you're welcome. I told you. They say it's better than colour."

Answer with Carol smiling some fun bitterness.

"... at all. You don't have a choice. I'll give you a luxury in the dining room in the outpost building."

"Is that good? Let me tell you something."

"I'm going to return the favor as soon as possible. I can't wait till Akira grows older than she eats."

"Good. Let's go as soon as we decide to."

"I don't mind hurrying, but I'm gonna need a good escort, okay?

"Of course."

Akira is in a good mood and speeds up her legs to the hunter's office outpost at the ruins of Mihazono Street.

Carol followed with a mild laugh when she saw Akira look like a childish person of her age.

The hunter's office outpost in the outer periphery of the Mihazono Street ruins houses a dining room for hunters operating in the ruins. It is a dining room where the hunters take their meals while bringing in heavy firearms, which are their equipment, and it is a very hard to call a luxury store.

But the dining room also had expensive dishes that ran counter to the exterior of the shop. It's an expensive meal with a total meal cost of over 100,000 orum. They do taste good, but they are wilderness rates, relic prices, and a fairly incremental pricing compared to meals in the city. Transportation costs, etc. up to this point are also included in expenses, so they are not unreasonably high, but expensive.

The dining room was divided into three parts with a simple partition. And the hunters who use this dining room roughly decided where to sit for the price of the meal as a rule. It was divided among the hunters whose meals cost about 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 orum. It's not a rule or compulsion, but I'm a little uncomfortable sitting in the wrong place. That's about it. Figure If you have a thick nerve, there's nothing wrong with it.

The cost of the meal, hunter's earnings and hunter's strength are largely proportional. Hunters sitting nearby for this reason are often of similar strength. If you're a regular hunter in this dining room, it's not uncommon to have a hunter whose face you know even if you don't know his name. Sometimes if you feel comfortable chatting with a hunter sitting nearby, you can have a new team.

For this reason, if a new hunter sits where there is a hunter who pays for an expensive meal, it can be a little conspicuous. And today, there was that new look. It's Akira.

In front of Akira, who sits at the table, there are a number of expensive dishes that correspond to sitting in this seat. Akira was eating it with a full grin and an occasional exclamation. Akira was in a very good mood.

Carol sits across from Akira. There was also a small number of dishes in front of Carroll but in the same price range.

Carol puts her jaw over both hands and asks Akira.

"Delicious?

"Delicious."

Akira replied in a good mood and snorted deeply. Carol smiled contentedly, too.

"That's good. My voucher is Bo."

Carol, who watched Akira continue her meal for a while, also lays hands on the dish in front of her.

(Even so, Akira is a normal kid at times like this. I don't think he's such a hunter with all that combat skill)

Carol's observation eyes are correct. Fact is Akira is not that strong a hunter. All thanks to Alpha's support. It still takes a lot of training for Akira to be able to sit here on her own and at her own expense.

"Still, Akira eats a lot. You don't have to worry about paying, but you can't leave it, can you?

"I'm fine. I've been eating a lot lately. I wouldn't leave it like this."

Akira answered sparingly. At the same time, Carol pointed me out and I doubt it at all.

"But I'm sure it's only recently that I've been able to eat a lot more."

Alpha pinches his mouth.

"Maybe you're trying to get back what Akira's body couldn't take during her growth."

'What do you mean?

"Akira lived a long time in Slam Street and was constantly malnourished. It must have been a long time since we were able to grow. I think we need a massive diet to get back that growth delay. '

'Is that the kind of problem you would clean up if you ate in large quantities?

'I think you've been treated so that if you eat a lot, it'll be a clean up problem. Look, Akira would have paid 60 million aurums before to be treated at the hospital, right? I guess you also treated that hand as part of your treatment to make your growth lag unhealthy. To raise the cost of treatment. "

Akira's hand stops as she continues to eat.

'... they didn't do anything weird, did they? It's okay, isn't it?

'I'm fine because I'm definitely feeling healthier. Besides, injuries and fatigue cannot be easily healed without eating well and resting well. There are limits to all sorts of misdemonization (sesame seeds) with healing pills. There shouldn't be any more negative effects than it should be for your health. Unless Akira can't make enough money to have trouble paying for her meals.'

'Right. Are you okay then? They took a lot of money for treatment. It could work like that. "

Akira restarts her meal in peace. I look at Akira once Carol stopped eating and ask her wonderfully.

"Akira, what's wrong?

"Nothing"

"Yeah. Yeah, I need you to ask me something because it's good while you eat, okay?

Say anything you want, unless you answer yes or I can lower this dish.

Carol laughs lightly and talks.

"It's okay. Sure, do me a favor, but I'm not lowering that dish because you said no."

Akira stops eating hands again. Akira feels something from Carol's attitude and looks at Carol with a slightly more serious look as she stops the hand of the meal.

"What's the story?

"You don't mind eating, do you?

"I'll see if I can talk to you while I eat. So, what's the story?

Akira's expression is in her upper mood. But it contained a definite color of vigilance there. Skeptical eyes close to paranoia. Human eyes that everyone assumes he is trying to harm himself. The dark glow of his eyes appears in Akira's eyes, albeit slightly.

Carol didn't know if that was what Akira's slightest thoughts appeared in her eyes, or if her irresistible negative emotions seeped out.

(... this is dangerous if you misspell it)

Carol deliberately switches to a serious look before speaking.

"I'll tell you straight in. Akira, why don't you join me?

Akira contemplates watching Carol in silence for a while. It explores the meaning of words, behind them, with countless interpretations applied. Carol figured that out too.

Ask Akira to confirm a lot.

"... uh, is that an invitation to form a team of hunter activities?

"That's right."

"I'm sorry, but I say no"

That's all Akira answered and went back to her meal. Vigilance is off from Akira and the field air returns to the relaxed one.

While Carol relieved (mostly) that his opponent's vigilance had disappeared, she smiled sadly at him for being turned down.

"Yes. Too bad. Even if you force me to put it together, it will only come back to you, and I will stop asking you out. Can I ask you why you said no?

"Simply working alone is sexually appropriate. I have a lot of things to do, things to do, things to think about, things like Yoshihime. When you act with someone, you can't do that. I came to the ruins of Mihazono Street today also because I decided to do so this morning, when I stopped somewhere else, I came up with it. When you work with someone, that's kind of what you do."

If an ordinary hunter goes to a ruin in the Old World, he decides on a ruin to head to beforehand and is ready to match that ruin before leaving. If you act as a team, you'll have to make a lot of decisions about how to check your profit branch and distribute rewards. If someone on the team suffers from sudden physical deterioration, etc., there will also be a need to stop exploring the site.

Akira also consults Alpha to modify her behavior, but she can't tell her why. If Akira acted with someone for a long time, she would suddenly be judged to be a very difficult person to handle forcibly changing her plans to distracted (kimagu).

Carol deduces Akira's criteria from Akira's story.

(Is Akira the type to value shortcomings over the advantages of collective action? If you do poorly, the type who thinks you're more dangerous than comfortable with someone being nearby. I seriously thought it would be okay to take a different course of action from me, who would also know the way out in that situation in Selantalville. Perhaps Akira had determined that the possibility of killing Akira in the mouth seal I was informed of the back door could be sufficient. But when I asked for an escort, he stood firm and protected me. … What kind of judgment criteria do you have when it comes to distortion?

Carol also has a lot of experience spending the night with a slightly personalized, threaded person, and is quite long enough to handle the person in his hand. But Akira's screw bending felt a little out of line with Carol's experience. To explore how to handle the novice type, Carol asks with a loving smile (cheeks).

"That's the type of Akira you are. Well, I often work alone, and it's not like I don't know what that feels like. But you've been running hunters all this time by yourself?

"No, I'm simply not working as a team. I sometimes go with other hunters to collect artifacts, or I take requests for collective action assumptions. Is Carol different?

"Me? I'm a lot of things. Sometimes we team up with someone, sometimes we mix up with an existing team. I'm working alone now, though. There were a lot of different teams that were in the past, and they broke up."

Carol said that somewhere else. It should be noted that the cause of that hunter team's disbandment is Carol. A couple of guys who got into Carroll's side business did a lot to buy Carroll.

Some of them even got caught up in gear and ammunition costs, and were caught up in the foot as a team's battle force. Some rubbed (also) more often with other men in the distribution of rewards. Ultimately, the team was in a rather sinister state, breaking it down in the air amidst the ruins being explored.

Carol didn't intentionally direct the team to such a state. But I didn't even try to stop it. It's all your own fault. That's what Carol thinks.

"Looking for the next team doesn't mean it's good for anyone. Some hunters ask me out for a side job. It's not good in itself. Just make it cheaper because we're on the same team. Just make it (just) cheaper, but you don't have to work with fools who say that kind of joke. I'm sorry to work with people who aren't that busy, either in the main business or in the side business."

"You're in a lot of trouble. Wow, this is pretty good, too."

Akira listens to Carol for once. But the consciousness was biased towards the gastronomy in front of him.

Carol tells me with words and expressions that she is inviting Akira because she darkly appreciates her prowess, but it was subtle to see how far she passed on to Akira, who is aware of her stomach and tongue.

(chuckles) Carol gives up a mixed smile (cheeks) and whines.

"... kid."

Answer as Akira is in a good mood and carries the dish to her mouth.

"Hmm? It's a child. You'll see. Hmm, this one's pretty good too..."

"... it is."

If Akira had grown a little more, if the priority ratio between colour and eating air had narrowed a little, the results might have changed. Carol was squealing (crushing) unfortunately as she thought so.
