Rebuild World

Akira and the others arrived at the rendezvous point with Elena and the others. The rendezvous point is an abandoned building that is countless in the ruins of Mihazono Street. Elena and Sarah were watching at the entrance and exit of the abandoned building.

Inside the abandoned building were the rest of the hunters to be rescued. That's what I couldn't carry at once in an armoured personnel carrier in Sikarabe. The reason why Shikarabe decided she couldn't carry it off is greater in terms of safety than the excess space in the vehicle, how many strangers armed people are allowed into the same vehicle.

The reason Elena and the others stayed here after acting separately from Shikarabe was because the hunters, who didn't want to be left behind, desperately asked for it. Elena listened to them for a lot of consideration. It's a judgment from Elena and her people's goodness, their mood, the contents of their contract, and whether Elena and the others can kill them all if something bad happens.

Hunters targeted for rescue breathe relief (mostly) when they look at the armoured personnel carrier in Sikarabe. When Shikarabe stops the armoured personnel carrier and opens the rear door, the hunters rush into the armoured personnel carrier. The relics of the old world they had collected were also carried together.

Sicarabe out of the car asks Elena.

"Who needs a body bag?

"I'm not here. No serious injuries. And corpses."

"Right. If you're that healthy, you should be standing and caged normally. Thanks to you, we're back with no escort."

Elena replies with a slight laugh to Sikarabe, who looks a little dissatisfied.

"They are offering money for their safety. The money is our reward. That's all I'm talking about."

"Sort of."

Akira and the others out of the car come to Elena and the others. Elena and Sarah laughed and tried to welcome Akira, but she gave a bewildered look when she saw Carol next to Akira. Because Carol was wearing reinforced clothing with a very conscious design of the man's gaze.

Both Elena and Sarah knew Akira was bringing in another hunter, but it's no exaggeration to say that she was inviting the opposite sex. Carol in the outfit was way beyond Elena's expectations.

Akira meets Elena and the others.

"Mr. Elena. Sarah. Please be kind today... So, is it good? I'd like to join Elena and the others, but if something goes wrong with me bringing the other one on my own, we can act differently. Even if we meet, I'll take responsibility for what Carol did."

Elena answers in confusion.

"Uh, wait a minute. Calm down.... good."

Elena was forced to (do) calm down by telling herself strongly that she had to calmly judge herself as the leader of the team, even though she was aware that various emotions were gushing.

Elena looks at Carol, abandons her preconceptions, at least aside for now, and speaks to Carol.

"I'm Elena. That's Sarah. He's my partner."

Sarah speaks with an unmistakable smile somewhere.

"It's Sarah. It's appropriate."

Carol also smiles and finishes her greeting.

"It's Carol. Nice to meet you."

Keep talking to Carol, where Elena smiles lovingly.

"Now the three of us, including Sikarabe, are teaming up. The leader is me. Negotiate your rewards, etc. with me."

"Okay. But please ask Akira for the story. Because my employer now is Akira. I'll take precedence over Akira's instructions."

"I'd rather keep the instructional system uniform than join us?

"We haven't even officially joined the chain of command yet. Akira and Elena have not even agreed on remuneration, etc. Besides, it would be natural for me to prioritize an agreed contract, wouldn't it?

"So is that."

Elena and Carol are smiling at each other. Akira was beginning to feel uncomfortable for some reason. But Akira doesn't know why.

Elena smiled at Akira and stepped closer.

"Bye Akira. Let's negotiate a lot."

"Wow, I get it. Please."

Isn't it a little close? Akira thought of that with a sense of mysterious intimidation from Elena.

Sicarabe interrupts the story.

"If the negotiations are going to be prolonged, no, why don't we go back first? Either way, we need to transport them. Whether merging or acting differently, there are many explanations for the purpose of making the decision. You just have to get it on the move. Contract procedures would be easier to follow in close proximity to hunter's office outpost."

Elena answers intentionally and quietly again.

"... right. All right. Is that okay with Akira?

"Okay."

Akira goes back to the car with Carol. Elena and Sarah watched those Akira with a subtle look.

A line is moving through the ruins again. Ask Alpha as Akira drives the car.

"Alpha. What do you think that was earlier?

Alpha answers with a normal look.

'I don't think you should mind. Elena will be in a bad mood, and she won't be compatible with you.'

"Hmm. Is that what happened?"

"Both Elena and Carol should separate their work from their personal feelings. I think it's just a little bit about the arrangement at the time of the contract, and I don't think it's going to be serious. Akira trusts Elena and the others, so she probably doesn't give a shit about what she does or how she distributes her pay. But for Carol, it's the first time we've met. It's no wonder you don't get frightened and lightly aggressive to make sure you don't get drunk on inconvenient terms. '

Akira is convinced to listen to Alpha's explanation.

'Right. Something like that.'

One woman has a boy who can't even be called a romantic emotion but who is quite fond and thinks he is liked. The boy brought another woman to meet him, and a well-dressed woman who said she was quite beautiful and seductive. Akira's interpersonal abilities were not high enough to detect the various emotions that sprang up in the chest of the woman she met.

There are many causes. It's also because Akira wasn't in an environment where she could learn to do that. The fact that Akira is giving me a lot of twists is also cause. And also because Alpha convinced Akira for another reason after understanding those finesses. Of course (of course) Alpha deliberately chose words to answer. Because it's more convenient for Alpha.

Seeing Akira wrapped up, Alpha was smiling.

Akira and the others are proceeding inside the ruins of Mihazono Street towards the hunter's office outpost. During the journey, he explained this request and understood the current situation via short-range communication from the information terminal.

The request Elena and the others undertook is a subspecies of an emergency request. The main job description is rescuing hunters who have had difficulty returning on their own. The client is not the hunters, but the various insurance companies that have contracted with them.

There is a wide variety of insurance policies for hunters. There are also many ways to cover the cost of treatment in the event of serious injury. But you need to go home alive in order to be treated. In order to satisfy the overriding condition of survival from the ruins, there are also a number of insurance policies in place in case of inability to move behind the ruins. An insurance company sends a rescue unit to rescue a contracted hunter, for example, if they are contacted or have been out of communication for a certain period of time.

In some cases, the insurer retains its own troops, but mostly units of civilian military companies contracted by the insurer, or another hunter, head to the rescue. Elena and the others were also asked to do so through an intermediary.

If you have such insurance before heading to the ruins of the old world, the chances of survival are considerably improved if you stand caged inside the ruins and wait for rescue, even if the hunters are attacked by monsters and can no longer return on their own from the ruins. Even in the worst case scenario, you can have the body recovered.

Akira asks Elena a simple question via an information terminal.

"When you do, is this request like a subcontract for a request received by Drancam from an insurance company?

Elena denies it.

"No, I'm not. It's a completely different request. He's done a lot of similar things, including yesterday's emergency request, but it has nothing to do with us."

Akira asks strangely.

"Really? But then, it's weird that Shikarabe is with you..."

Sikarabe speaks in a grumpy voice.

"It is true that Drancam is also sending troops. I'm pretty sure you asked me to join that unit. I'm turning it down and joining Elena and the others in a position unrelated to the request via Drancam."

"Why did you say no?

Sikarabe answers angrily.

"The head commander of Drancam is a jerk. I'm sorry to fight under his command, even if it's formal."

"... well"

Akira is a little drawn to Sikarabe's anger. Carol interrupts and stops Shikarabe after Shikarabe's stupidity continues for a while.

"Sikarabe, leave it around there. If you want someone stupid, I'll hang out after work. Depending on the price, we're gonna have a lot of people, right?

"I don't need it. They squeeze out the rewards they earn around the corner."

"It's not good. I'm going to go along with your stupidity, so give me about my liquor bill."

"I'm definitely saying no because I'm definitely sorry about that. Elena, go on."

Sikarabe declined Carol's invitation with a real voice, urging Elena to continue explaining the request.

Elena, the leader, interrogates the contents and selects the request from the list of rescue targets presented by the intermediary. Based on the location and number of persons to be rescued, as well as the amount of compensation, make a comprehensive decision and select the request. Then we head to the designated location, retrieve the rescue targets, alive or dead, and send them to the hunter's office outpost.

The reward is to be distributed at 50% Sicarabe without expenses and 50% combined by Elena and Sarah. Sikarabe has a lot of credit because thanks to Sikarabe's availability of armoured personnel carriers, we can accomplish a high request for a large number of rescues. Transporting in armoured personnel carriers is also convenient for transporting hunters alive who are injured and unable to move satisfactorily. Elena and the others were not different there either.

The method of distributing the rewards after the addition of Akira and the others was to be divided into three parts: Shikarabe, Elena and Sarah, Akira and Carroll. Basically distribute rewards in Sikarabe, Elena and Akira. The three of them will also receive the reward. The rewards for Sarah and Carol were to be adjusted for each.

Carol and Elena are negotiating without pulling each other in the way the rewards are distributed and on fine terms. Akira was not too interested in how to distribute the rewards, etc., and intended to accept Elena's proposal as it stood. But for Carol to follow Akira's side and start negotiating with Elena, close negotiations were to take place.

What was surprising to Akira was that Akira was negative about accepting Elena's proposal as it stood, even Carol, on the contrary. Akira and the others had already arrived near the hunter's office outpost when all the negotiations had finally come to an end after an extra bend.

After unloading the hunters from the armoured personnel transport vehicle and handing them over to the hunter's office outpost, Akira and the others moved the car to an undisturbed location. Sicarabe suggests a break where everyone gets out of the car and gets together.

"Let's take an hour or so off. In the meantime, I'll have the vehicle inspected and ammunition supplied. I've been stripped of my armor."

Elena answers.

"Okay. I'll meet you at this place in an hour. In the meantime, I'll decide on my next request."

Elena and Sarah almost took a break, too. Just right for a small pause. Carol goes on the sicarabe trying to get back in the car.

"Sikarabe. I'll help you."

"... I don't need it. Go home."

Sikarabe answered without hesitation, but Carol laughs and follows him forcefully.

"It's not good. Akira. See you in an hour."

Carol waved lightly at Akira before placing her hand on Shikarabe's shoulder and getting into the car with her as she forced Shikarabe into the car.

I felt signs behind Akira's back as she was somehow following the armoured personnel carrier leaving. It's Elena and Sarah.

When Akira turned around, Elena was smiling. Sarah was smiling a little bitterly.

Elena laughs and tells Akira.

"Well, shall we go too?"

Elena's smile is very soft. Elena's own beauty goes hand in hand, and her smile is so beautiful. But Akira felt some pressure from Elena's smile.

Akira shifts her gaze towards Sarah, bewildered. Sarah speaks with a slightly more pleasant, slightly less mean smile.

"In the meantime, let's move to a place where we can talk calmly. May I?"

"Yes. Okay."

Akira snorted for now. There's no reason to say no, but even if there was, it would have been difficult to say no.

Many merchants were also gathered in this situation in the wilderness near the entrance to and exit from the ruins of Mihazono Street. Precisely because of this situation, more merchants are assembled than usual. Because it's time to make money.

Sikarabe was at the supply shop there supplying armoured personnel transport vehicles with ammunition, armoured tiles and other supplies. Carol was also helping Sicarabe work.

Suppliers are stores that specialize in selling ammunition and other consumables to hunters. Ammunition, etc. is always consumed when large-scale battles take place in ruins, etc. We have abandoned the effort of transporting guns to ruins that we do not know if they can be sold, and have narrowed the goods down to consumables such as ammunition from the beginning.

Sikarabe is replenishing armoured personnel carriers with armoured tiles and ammunition. If you put the purchased armoured tiles and ammunition into the supply port on the side of the car, the automated loading (or loading) device of the car will do the work on its own. It is a convenient device to avoid cumbersome manual work. It should be noted that it is not mounted on Akira's vehicle.

Carol with Sicarabe was quite remarkable. Carroll-like beauty and fleshy body owners wear fortified clothing with so-called old-world-style design. Gathering a man's gaze was natural in a way.

It should be noted that things change in the more eastern regions. Very few people will stop worrying about what Carol looks like right now. Because you get used to the feeling of the old world. Many describe Carol's outfit as somewhat radical, but that's a feeling around the Kugamayama city just halfway east. Near the front line is no reason to attract attention. You get used to a lot of things, just like Akira got used to dressing up like Alpha.

Several hunters were speaking up to Carol, but Carol was lightly soothing them because of her busyness. They got Carol's contact information and left in a good mood. They're lucky so far. Because I met a beautiful, attractive female hunter. It's unclear if we're lucky after that. Because this encounter can be a hang-up for them to indulge in Carol and fall a lot.

Shikarabe has a mixed face of giving up. The elements that shape Sycarabe's expression are mostly self-restraint, not grumpy. Shikarabe knows Carol very well.

Shikarabe enters the armoured personnel transport vehicle and operates the control device to initiate an automatic inspection. Checking the display gently, Carol slowly approached and held it from behind so as not to alarm Shikarabe. Carol's arms are tangled around Shikarabe's neck.

Sicarabe stops her hand and tells Carol.

"What are you imitating?

Carol whispered sweetly in Shikarabe's ear.

"I've got the supplies, and don't you want to talk to me for a second?

"I haven't finished the inspection yet. Don't interrupt."

"It's not good. After that, we'll just wait until the automated inspection is done, won't we? It's like it's over."

There is blood odor and death odor of the wounded in the vehicle. It is ventilated but cannot be completely removed without thorough cleaning. There are limits to deodorants.

Still, if you get close enough to match the skin, the scent of carol wrapping will reach the nasal cavity of the scallop. It's a seductive fragrance that sharpens reason.

Shikarabe talks in a grumpy manner.

"... what's the story? I'm telling you, if you think I'm gonna talk a lot like I did before, it's a big mistake."

Carol answers in a glossy tone with a glossy laugh.

"Alas, you paid the price right then too. The way I was forced to say it is cruel. You enjoyed me a lot, didn't you?

Carol's hand gave Shikarabe's chest and cheeks.

"Besides, I'm not trying to get inside information on Drancam. I know Drancam's been having a rough time lately, but it has nothing to do with that story. Are you relieved?

Sikarabe's vigilance against Carol drops. Carol laughs thinly without missing that change.

"So what are you talking about?

"I need to hear a little bit about Akira. You know him, right?

"We do know each other, but it's not like we're close, we just worked together about twice. Sorry to hear that."

"Is that just a coincidence we got together at work? Or did you invite Akira to work? If you're the latter, you've done a lot of research on Akira, haven't you?

Sicarabe silences. That was meant not to give you extra information, but it was spotted out perfectly. Carol laughs hauntingly in gloom.

"The latter. Then there's a lot we can talk about, isn't there? It's okay. I'll pay for what I pay properly. Money's fine, but if we're gonna make it quick, we're gonna make it to rendezvous time, okay?

Carol turned to the front of the sicarabe. Carol's whole body appears in front of Sycarabe.

The sicarabe transfers the gaze to the display device displaying the results of the automatic inspection. All inspection results are indicated as no problem. So the excuse to solve the problem from inside the sikarabe disappeared.

Sikarabe returns her gaze to Carol. Carol smiles seductively, seductively. It was a difficult invitation to experience.

Carol operates the car's controls. The car door slowly and automatically began to close, and it was completely closed.
