Rebuild World

Late at night. It's still early in the morning. Alpha is about to wake Akira sleeping in her home bed.

"Akira. Wake up."

Alpha's voice is echoing directly into Akira's brain. A gentle, quiet tone, but its volume is pretty loud. Because Alpha can't shake it and wake it up.

Akira looks around with her sleeping consciousness. He tells Akira that the sight of the dark room is still at night. I got to the floor a little early yesterday but still haven't had enough sleep to wake up naturally. I'm pretty sure it's not an emergency, either, from what Alpha looks like. Ask Alpha a little dissatisfied.

"... what the hell. It's still night, isn't it? Is something wrong?

"Elena is getting a text message. It's such a good time to ignore it, but I told him properly. Next time you can ignore me, too, but why didn't you tell me right away, don't you say anything?

Akira gave a slightly strange look. Alpha would have checked the contents of the message and decided it was better to wake Akira up but let her check. Leaving him at least until morning without waking him, he decided he could get angry. That's how Akira found out.

Reach out to the information terminal that Akira keeps nearby as she stretches (yawns). Operate the information terminal to check the contents of the message while still looking asleep.

The content of Elena's message, in summary, is an invitation to make a request. There's a massive battle going on at the Mihazono Street ruins right now, and they're continuing to request backup, rescue, and rescue from people left in the battle zone. Elena and the others are intermediaries from registered request mediators who will take on affordable requests. It was an invitation to join Akira if it was convenient.

You can join Elena and the others later, or you can act on Akira personally. Of course (of course), Akira also has plans and conveniences, so you don't have to take them on. I want you to let me know if you're interested. That's what it said.

Akira rereads the contents of the message from Elena a few times, and makes her expression look irritating with a lot of thought.

"Alpha. Do you think Mr. Elena and the others are going to Serantalville?

'I don't know. The situation at the site of Mihazono Street already seems different from when we were there. I just think it's possible that this massive battle is taking place around the Selantarville. You remember yesterday's hunter's office notice, right? A large number of hunters must have headed for the Selantarville. They may have made it difficult to escape and sent out a request for rescue. "

Akira remembers what happened when we were there. I couldn't even get in touch with him outside then.

"Can you get inside that building and get in touch outside?

'Maybe I can do it now. Or maybe he had sent out a request beforehand to have him rescued if he could not return after a certain amount of time. It's a time-bound emergency request. Of course, it could be completely irrelevant.'

Akira got out of bed in silence and started getting ready to leave as she did.

Alpha takes a quick confirmation.

"Is it good that Elena and the others are invited?

"Oh."

"Even though that happened yesterday?

"... that's it, this is this"

Alpha breathed out in his sight. Akira kept getting ready without worrying.

Akira's reaction was as predicted by Alpha. That's evidence that Alpha has an accurate picture of Akira's behavior patterns. It is a pleasure to verify the correctness of the information collected to control Akira and the results of the calculations derived therefrom.

However, the result of the calculation is also output. Even if Alpha stops Akira, Akira will force her to join Elena and the others. If you're going to force me to go, you'll go even if I tell you I won't give you support.

Previously Akira saved Elena and the others' lives at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. And when I was attacked by a bunch of monsters with the cuttlefish, Elena and the others saved my life.

Offset that loan, no loan. That's what Alpha would judge. But some of Akira seems to owe me two somehow. Understanding that criterion of judgment, which is inexplicable for that alpha, would make it easier (and easier) to control Akira. So far, however, I have not stood at all. Until Akira finishes paying Elena and the others back the debt, Elena and the others will continue to devour Akira's top decision-making priorities.

We still need to do something about it. Alpha stared at Akira with that in mind.

Ask Alpha to operate the information terminal while Akira wears fortified clothing.

"Alpha, connect me to Elena."

'Okay.... No. I don't want to connect. Out of range. "

"Did you get the text message?

'Sending messages isn't that immediate. Loads of equipment on the route of communication are delayed considerably due to a variety of factors. There's also a difference in the form of communication between calls and notifications. "

"I don't have a choice. Send me a text saying I will join. You can send it, right?

Akira thought about the writing and sent it to Alpha in a pronouncement. Faster than telling verbally.

Copy that. I sent it. I'll make sure the calls get connected regularly. "

"I asked."

Wearing fortified clothes, Akira heads to the garage with the information terminal and gun she has in her room. Check the ammunition, etc. left loaded in the car and load the car with the missing amount. I don't know what's going to happen, so I'll load it up tight and more.

I'm ready to leave. Akira sits in the driver's seat and tries to move the car. But that's where Akira stopped moving.

Alpha sitting in the passenger seat asks Akira in wonder.

"What's wrong? I knew you'd stop?

"No, I'm leaving right away. But before that, I kind of figured it out."

Akira began to operate the information terminal when she answered that. An alpha that grasped Akira's operation gives her an unexpected look. The information terminal was sending a call request, and in about ten seconds it wanted to connect with the other person.

You can hear the person you're calling from your information terminal.

"It's Carol. I didn't expect to hear from Akira so soon. I'm glad to hear that, but if it wasn't for my side job, it'd be a little rude, wouldn't it? Can I hope?

Carol told Akira that in an inviting glossy voice.

Akira answers softly.

"I'm sorry. This is for the main business."

Carol answers with a slight tone.

"Oh yeah. Would you mind hanging up then?

"Right. It was bad at this hour. Bye."

Akira hung up the call. Alpha is smiling a little fun on the side.

Akira puts the information terminal down and starts moving the car, around where the car leaves the garage, the information terminal receives a call request from Carol.

Alpha laughs and points at the information terminal and tells Akira.

"I'll drive."

"Really? I asked for it."

When Akira leaves Alpha to drive and take her hand off the handle, she takes the information terminal and responds to Carol's call request.

"It's Akira."

I hear Carol's dissatisfied voice.

"... you won't hang up all of a sudden. You don't have enough love, do you?

"I'm in a pretty hurry over here, too. I don't even have time to negotiate for you to listen to me. I'm talking about the main business, but it's good that you're willing to listen to me for now, right?

"That's right. I wonder what you would have talked about if you'd done that. So, what's the story?

"Carol knows more about Serantalville, the Mihazono Street ruins, including that, I guess? I want you to sell that information. If you're willing to sell, offer me the amount. I'll pay you as soon as I can with an account transfer. If it's cash, I don't have it now, and I don't have time to go pay it, so I'll pay it later."

"I don't mind that, but exactly what kind of information do you want? It's a little too vague."

"There's a massive battle going on at the ruins of Mihazono Street right now, apparently. Serantalville could be at its centre. I want information to help me fight, search, rescue, retreat, and survive around there. I guess this is still extensive enough, but I can't squeeze it any further. I'm heading to the Mihazono City ruins now, but I haven't decided exactly where I'm going."

Carol comes up with a few ideas before answering Akira, who says something rather unscrupulous.

"Even if they say so. I don't want to rub it with Akira either, and I'm going to need to decide a lot about how to get the information to me, and the information fee for the content and accuracy of the information, right? You can sell map information on the Mihazono Street ruins that I hold, but it's not necessarily an information format that you can view to Akira, it's independently expanded a lot, and some of it's encrypted. The only important information I have is what I told Akira yesterday."

Akira is convinced to listen to Carol's explanation. It's also natural if you think about it a little bit. Akira would have omitted it because Alpha and Sizka had come up with an almost optimal solution to Akira's vague questions and requests.

Alpha is on Akira's side (buckwheat) and has handled it sequentially. Sizka has chosen the product precisely for my request close to the round throw of Akira. Maybe I was used to that. Akira became aware, reflecting, and once again thanked Alpha and Sizka.

Carol and I don't have time to negotiate convincingly. Akira decides to give up.

"... right. Forget about this story. I'm sorry I talked weird at weird times. Bye."

Carol stops Akira from trying to cut the call.

"Wait. Are you gonna hang up? Wait a minute."

"What?"

"Akira is going to the ruins of Mihazono Street. I might go to a dangerous place in the ruins. There is also the possibility of going to Selantalville again. So I need information related to the Mihazono Street ruins to increase safety. So far, good?

"Oh."

Carol suggests in a somewhat enjoyable voice.

"Then why don't you hire me as your guide? Yeah, well, I'd like to start with 10 million aurums. Once the site is explored and useful information in excess of that amount is required, it shall be negotiated separately on the spot. It's not a bad story, is it?

Akira asks back, surprised at the unexpected suggestion from Carol, but without hesitation.

"I'm driving around the lower division of Kugamayama City right now. Can we rendezvous right away?

"I'm fine. I'm in the lower compartment, too. Let's get ready.

"It's not like I'm escorting Carol. I'm not willing to let you fight aggressively, but I also ask Carol to defend himself at a minimum. Don't think I'm gonna stand up and take refuge like I did yesterday."

"That's okay, too. Well, I'd love to be protected. If that happens, we'll deduct it from the reward, including the information fee, as a escort fee."

Akira responds instantly.

"Okay. Hire. Send me a rendezvous point. Make the rendezvous a place you can drive to. If you don't have the means to get to the ruins of Mihazono Street, get in my car."

"I'll give you a ride. I'll send you a rendezvous point in no time. I'll see you later."

The last time I heard an inviting voice, I lost my call with Carol.

Alpha asks Akira.

"Are you glad I hired you on my own without the consent of Elena and the others?

"I just hired him personally, and he'll be fine. If Elena and I get mad at each other, we're not going to join Elena and we're going to stay away from each other if anything happens."

Is that the problem? Alpha thought so, but stopped pursuing it in depth. It would be convenient for Alpha if Akira and Elena were to become obsessed and alienated in this matter.

'Yes. Fair enough. The rendezvous point has arrived, so I'll drive you there.'

Akira and the others went straight for a rendezvous with Carol.

Carol is taking a shower in one of the lower compartment apartments. Carol spends physical enhancement modifications by nanomachines on the formation of body shapes that gather the gaze of many men, in addition to physical enhancement in battle. The flesh is very glossy only after spending a lot of money.

The water Carol is bathing in is not just hot water either. There is a mix of healing pills adjusted for the flesh. It heals the slightest scratches on the skin's daily routine and maintains radiant skin.

When Carol left the shower room, a strong breeze blew out of the wall of the room to blow the extra droplets that were reaching her body. Carol walks to another room that remains completely naked and is an equipment storage area.

Arriving in the room, Carol first wears a lightweight bodysuit that can also replace her skin wear. And I wore another fortified garment on top of it. It is a reinforced garment with an old world-style design for clear women.

Carol's neck hid all the skin below her, but her allure to seduce (frighten) the opposite sex has not diminished much compared to when she was naked. That would be because the design of the fortified garment makes you strongly imagine and pull the flesh that exists beneath it.

Wear equipment fixtures with simple armor, equipped with large guns and information-gathering equipment, etc., to carry a rucksack containing ammunition, etc. Carol smiled lusciously confirming herself in the mirror at the end when she was ready. The mirror shows very effective dressed women in vicious monsters and for men of all ages.

"This is good.... Ten minutes later. Let's hurry. When I'm a little late, Akira's gonna shut up and leave me."

That's what Carol said and smiled bitterly, having some idea of Akira's personality.

Akira was waiting for Carol at the rendezvous point.

The rendezvous point designated by Carroll is near a fairly secure location, even in the lower compartment. In other words, it is a fairly pricey place. Security company guards are patrolling, calling out when they find suspicious people, and maintaining security by eliminating them if necessary. Even if the target is a hunter-armed person. This is the neighborhood where those who can pay the expenses without any problems live.

Asked by the guard to run errands, Akira replied that she was waiting for Hunter to take her. When the guard saw Akira's gear and car, he was convinced to leave.

Akira speaks to Alpha with an emotional look.

"If it had been Hunter's equipment when he was founded, he would have been driven back."

'So Akira is also growing well as a hunter. Let's go at this rate. So let's act with the intention of turning it into a proper black letter. "

Alpha stabbed Akira with a nail.

'What? Oh, right. Of course. "

Akira responded like he had been shocked for a moment, but he quickly fixed it. Continue to misdemonize.

"Mr. Elena didn't invite you to a request that would result in a deficit, either, and he said you'd be fine."

'That would be good. Just in case you hired Carol to be safe, remember that she's already in deficit for paying Carol, right?

Answer clearly as Akira snorts deeply.

"Of course."

Though I did answer that, in Akira's consciousness, the priorities for achieving the black deficit were quicker to count from the bottom. Akira had unconsciously missed her gaze from Alpha. It had naturally been noticed by Alpha that Akira was less conscious of achieving the black deficit.

The truth is, Alpha doesn't see the financial deficit as a problem in itself. The problem is to allow Akira to act on the deficit assumption. That's how Elena and the others are influencing Akira's decisions.

If accompanying Elena and the others would cause a huge deficit, and that would alienate Akira and Elena and the others, Alpha would separate it from the necessary expenses.

But Elena and the others are inviting Akira on the assumption that her income and expenditure will be in black. Ask the borrower to mediate a request to become gold, get paid, and Akira is happy to thank her even though she feels a little burdened. And strengthen Akira's influence on her decisions a little bit.

Carol arrives in no time. Alpha looked at Carol and expected Carol to cause something convenient for Alpha in her relationship with Akira and Elena and the others.

Carol asks, laughing at Akira.

"Please wait. Wait?"

"Five minutes ago. No problem."

I laugh bitterly when I hear Carol reply that doesn't make me feel any emotional or other shards (shards) about meeting the opposite sex.

"You said you met a woman like me, but you can't return some more attentive common sense responses?

"I'm sorry. I don't like common sense. I'm studying sharply. Get in."

Carol puts her luggage in the back of the car and sits in the passenger seat. Akira immediately let the car leave.

Akira and the others leave Kugamayama City and head back to the ruins of Mihazono Street. Akira tried to get in touch with Elena and the others until she got out of the communable zone of Kugamayama City, but unfortunately she never wanted to connect. I had no choice, so I sent Elena and the others a text message telling them what was happening on Akira's side that they had hired a hunter familiar with the ruins of Mihazono Street, and then went out of the comms zone.

Akira and the others proceed at considerable speeds through the dark wilderness. You will be able to reach the ruins of Mihazono Street before sunrise.

Akira told Carol the situation while she was on the move. Carol asks with a slightly unexpected look when she grasps the situation.

"I understand the situation, but are you okay with taking me?

Akira answers Carol's questions.

"It is up to Elena and the others to decide that. If Elena and I don't want to be accompanied by people we don't know, we're acting differently. We haven't decided yet on how to distribute the rewards if we meet. I haven't heard from Elena and the others. I'm not going to force Carol to go beyond a guiding role in the ruins, but if you're going to get paid for anything other than me, do the right thing."

I laugh bitterly when I hear Carol respond to a content that is largely out of line with my doubts.

(Sure, that's important, too. I asked Akira if she was going to join a woman, but I asked her if she was going to be okay with taking another woman. Well, I guess that means the hunter operation has nothing to do with gender. Or (one) yes, rather than take another man. Either way, my employer is Akira, and that's not what I care about)

Akira hires Carol to take her. The responsibility lies with Akira.

If anything goes wrong, it could be an opportunity for Carol to stick with Akira. Carol thinks so, laughs invincibly and answers.

"It's okay. Because you're used to negotiating rewards for that hand."

"Right."

Carol had a smile that didn't make her feel concerned. Akira, relieved for now to see it, asks another question.

"Nevertheless, after what happened yesterday, you often took on a guiding role. There's a chance we're going into the Selantalville again, isn't there?

"Isn't that mutual? Even Akira didn't seem to have made it through that dilemma."

Answer as Akira misdemonizes.

"I'm the... well, that's good. I'm planning to rendezvous with another amazing hunter, so I just decided it was okay."

I haven't lied, but it's not the primary reason. And Akira isn't on her way to the ruins of Mihazono Street either. I could tell Carol to that extent. The hunter who plans to rendezvous is a woman. Carol wanted to deduce a lot, but remembers Akira's attitude to herself yesterday and keeps it to lighter deductions.

At least it should be unlikely that Akira is confused by the colourful incense. If Akira has that strong hand greed, there can be no attitude yesterday. That's what Carol decided.

"Yes, I suggested a guide because I decided that as long as I was well equipped, I could handle that. Yesterday's equipment presupposed avoidance of combat. Amidst the ruins I know on my own. I was too cautious thinking about it."

Akira checks Carol's gear again. Carol's fortified clothes do look stronger and more high-performing than yesterday's gear.

"Shouldn't you have worn that yesterday?

"This is quite the type of operating cost. Using it from time to time sounds profitable. Yesterday's gear is enough to sneak in gently and take out the artifacts there. It's also important to be prepared for things like yesterday, but if that makes a deficit every time, it wouldn't make sense, would it? Today, yesterday, I was excited just in case Akira's reward was confirmed and there was a massive battle at the ruins of Mihazono Street."

Akira snorted convincingly.

"Right. That kind of cost problem is important."

Akira looks at Carol with a shine. I'm looking at Carol's fortified clothing and gear to be exact, but then naturally that seductive body also gets into Akira's eyes.

Carol changes her posture to make her bragging flesh look like Akira and confirms Akira's reaction as she smiles (cheeks) lusciously.

"If you're interested in my body, if you ask for my side job, you'll have plenty of fun, right?

Akira was bewildered not to weigh the meaning of Carol's words just a little, but immediately notices and asks Carol.

"... hmm? Oh, no, no, no. I was just wondering about the clothes. That fortified garment, could it be made in the old world?

Carol replies with a slight loss of mood to Akira's attitude, who is not particularly interested in the bragging flesh.

"No, I'm not. What made you think that?

"I felt the atmosphere was similar to the old world-made combat clothes I had seen before. You're mistaken."

"The seller imitates the design of old world-made combat clothing. Because that image is also important for the sales of products."

"Oh. I see."

Akira replied as if it were nothing. But Carol asks wondering about Akira's story.

"Akira, by the way. Where the hell did you see a worthy substitute for old world-made combat clothing over lined tanks?

Akira got stuck in words. I recognize him because I've seen Alpha in old world-made combat clothes many times. But you can't talk about it.

"............ forgot. Maybe it's an image or something on the network."

"It sounded like a way of saying it like you'd seen the real thing before?

"It's my fault."

"Yes."

Akira thought she had been misdemonized, but Carol had spotted her.

(... you've definitely seen the real thing somewhere. You're a bad kid, including having all that strength at this age. I guess I'll ask a lot of hunters who plan to rendezvous)

Carol regains her position and looks out over the dark night wilderness. And I'll look at Akira on the side. Akira and I just met yesterday, but she's an uninteresting person, like how and how she got that strength, and what she said earlier. But normally if you ask a lot, Akira will surely not try to speak the core.

(If it's on the bed, I'm sure I can hear a lot about it. True, too bad)

Carol thought about it and just laughed a little.

Alpha stabs Akira with a nail.

"Akira, if you think I misdemonized you earlier, it's a big mistake."

'Jeez, it's true I've never seen the real thing. Yeah, if you say it out loud, you'll be fine.'

"I certainly don't think you feel about me to that extent, or realize Akira is an old realm connector. But he was definitely interested. Be careful not to say anything far-fetched to Carol. '

"Okay."

Alpha smiles contentedly when she hears Akira's reply.

'That's it, and if Akira's into old world combat clothing, I'll wear as many as I can. How about this?

That's what Alpha said, changing his outfit to old world-made combat clothing.

The combat clothes worn by Alpha are based on lightweight materials that stick to the skin, making the lines of the body float strongly. There is an unintentional open part of the battle suit that exposes Alpha's skin. Materials, both rubber and metal, are arranged on a portion of the surface of the battle suit in such a way as to highlight the wearer's body parts. Some of the materials emit light, as if it were a substitute for buoyancy, and there is even something like a barrier of light floating around the exclusive garment.

This is an old world-made combat suit that I designed from the beginning without considering practicality or anything else. And in order to wear it, it takes a little courage to affirm the feel of the old world's clothing. Then it has a performance that exceeds the current battle suit by far. It is truly the battle suit of the old world.

Alpha, who laughs in such clothes and invites pleasure, is more seductive (frightening) than wearing nothing in a way. Furthermore, Alpha's beauty and body shape strongly reflect Akira's preferences. Even though Akira is getting used to the look of Alpha dressed in various ways, that means that she can be ignored to some extent during combat, training, and under certain circumstances. In other words, Akira also reacts constantly under other circumstances.

Akira looked away from Alpha, opposite Carol. Stiffen your expression in the blindfold, put your gaze back forward, and answer the blurring.

'... you can do that later'

'Okay. Later.'

Alpha was happy with Akira's reaction when she saw herself, laughing with pleasure.
