Rebuild World

It stands in front of a huge skyscraper where Akira is integrated with the Kugamayama city barrier. Strong walls to look up at as huge skyscrapers make you feel powerful against the backdrop of the city's enormous economic power.

Large hunter-office-related facilities exist in the building, as well as branches of companies operating in multiple cities. All those who make it a part of their lives are the people of the upper echelons, even in cities. It is a place for those who seek to grow up in the city, a place of admiration for those who dream of a rich life, and a symbolic place to show the wealth and power of the city.

Akira is looking up at the place. But in his eyes, he did not have the distinctive radiance shown by those who aspired to be above him, the strength of his will to hold within him, or the power to look at far and immense goals.

Pay attention to Akira, whose alpha is floating.

"Akira, your face is loose. It's so lame. '

"Oops."

Akira tightens her expression. Still, I can't hide my good mood. It remains loose to a lesser extent than ugly.

Akira had been invited to dinner again by Siori. It was an invitation to a meal in honor of helping Raina and the others at the ruins of Mihazono Street.

Akira remembered her previous moments of bliss, relaxing her vigilance and riding that invitation.

Alpha sees Akira float and talks a little silly.

"If you're looking forward to cooking at that store so much, you might want to go through it a few times at your own expense and get used to it a little bit more."

Answer after Akira is troubled, grimaced, and swayed to the point where she is unable to respond immediately.

'... I can't. I don't feel like going to boulders at my own expense. "

Meals that float in the back of the brain are expensive enough to pay for bliss, and Akira's sense of money is not a very expensive amount to offer. I made sure it was Siori's luxury. Akira, eating more than the colour, was on the verge of falling into that eating.

For once, if you're earning Akira now, it's easy to secure your meal bill by cutting gear, ammunition, etc. But that's synonymous with killing lives for Akira's safety. Akira endures the temptation of being a little better by telling herself so strongly.

Alpha talks bitterly.

'Then let's not delay so we don't miss that precious opportunity'

"Right."

Akira walked into the building in a light mood.

Akira deposited her gun at the restaurant reception just like last time. The store still has the luxury of looking out of place in Akira's fortified clothing replacement. But the guests are halfway between the Hunter-style and the less, and Akira is not particularly noticeable. This also depends on the store, location and customer base.

Akira looks surprised when the clerk leads her to the table. Akira thought Siori was the only one waiting, just like last time, but Rayna and Kanae also sat at the table she was guided to.

Kanae notices Akira and waves gently.

"Boy! I see you again!

Akira looks at Kanae's outfit and gives her a subtle look. Siori and Raina wore elegant personal clothes. Enough clothing to go into this luxury store. But Kanae was dressed as a maid. It's no wonder you're mistaken for an employee of the store if you're bad.

(... Normal, is it? The same way I'm wearing fortified clothes? No, but Siori is wearing normal clothes, and the clerk's attitude is like normal..., is my thinking weirder?

Akira again hears the sound of her common sense swinging, but perhaps reconsiders that it is useless to think and sits in the seat recommended by the clerk without worrying.

Siori and Raina look at Akira's reaction and snort (exhale). Raina tells Kanae.

"Kanae. I knew you couldn't handle those clothes?

Kanae answers with a laugh.

"Doesn't it? It is important that you always wear adequate equipment as an escort for your daughter. Aren't Akira boys wearing fortified clothes? It's the same."

Akira felt a little reluctant to be treated the same way, but was cautious about her objections given that she was in a position to be luxurious.

Siori turns her mind back and tells Akira.

"Dear Akira. Thank you for helping the lady the other day. I sat down. As I told you beforehand, I will have the price here, so don't hesitate to order as much as you like"

Akira answers in a good mood.

"Thank you. I'll sit down. Then hurry..."

At the opening of the menu, Akira asks Siori with a thought.

"... but if you were to thank me for the Serantalville thing, you wouldn't have invited Elena and the others either?

"To all of your troops, including Akira to be exact, we have responded by increasing the rewards of the request. It will also involve the processing of Drancam's money, which will result in a slight delay in the actual payment time, but I was wondering if you would be satisfied. I ask you to interpret this meal as a personal tribute to Akira for taking on my personal favors."

"Did you do something?

"I asked Akira to buy me five seconds."

"Is that it? Oh, I see. If that reward was for this meal, it would have been worth the trouble. If that's the case, I won't hesitate to order it."

Siori smiled lovingly at Akira, who answered and lowered her head gently.

Akira starts choosing dishes from the menu. As always, Akira's knowledge describes items with names that you can't imagine the look of the dish. Akira decided to order the recommended course of the day, just like the last time, to a troubled mention.

Alpha points to the menu and talks as she looks at Akira, who made the order an easy choice.

'I was told not to hesitate to ask for it, and why don't you ask me to do it appropriately, like, one dish?

'I'll stop it. The dish the Alpha is pointing at is like a chant of a spell that exists in the West. If I ask you for this, what the hell's coming out of it?

Alpha answers the joke.

"If we sing this in the West, something's going to come out like a flame. The food must be red in appearance and spicy in taste. '

'That's okay. The store recommends it. There should be no deviation from the content of the recommended course. I should have just taken a bad adventure on this precious opportunity and stopped asking for that, what a possibility we don't need to increase.'

"Oh, the hunters who, in a way, are running the adventure of risking their lives."

"Hunter operations are enough for such an adventure"

Alpha smiles deeply.

'So is that. It's good to be cautious. I'd like you to be cautious, if you can.'

Akira deliberately ignored Alpha and closed the menu.

Akira and the others, who have finished ordering, are waiting to cook while we chat. Akira answers with interest when she hears from Siori the current situation in Serantarville.

"Heh. That's what's happening to Serantalville. But even if we take control of the ground floor and use it as a simple base, there are still a bunch of mechanical monsters up there, right? Are you okay with this?

"Anything, city officials are successfully negotiating with the building's management personality to use some of the building's equipment for the defense of a simplified base," he said.

Akira answers with quite a surprise.

"Successful negotiations? You mean that sertantal guy? Awesome. If there was such an awesome one, I would have liked to have been dispatched sooner. That way we wouldn't have had so much trouble."

"Absolutely."

Siori replied with a deep snort (groaning) as she strongly agreed.

Temporarily, the food is then brought. I get very upset when Akira sees the dishes lined up in front of me. And I started eating happily.

On the way to the meal, Kanae asks Akira.

"Speaking of which, Akira boy talks about fighting his sister before and pulling it off, is that true?

Akira is dividing the majority of her consciousness into the bliss transmitted from her tongue. I don't know if it's because of that, but I couldn't think of the story, so I ask back strangely.

"What are you talking about?

"That? The boy fought his sister, didn't he?

Fighting associated with Akira and his relic robbers in the basement of Kuzhara Street ruins was not supposed to appear in negotiations between Akira and the city side.

Do you care about confidentiality and fall in love? Kanae thought so, but decided from Akira's expression that she really didn't feel it. Ask away from specific language to avoid touching confidentiality.

"Look, I'll talk about it in that place at that time."

"No, I remember fighting Siori. But it's not a draw."

"Do you? But that's what she said."

"It would be a difference in the individual's senses. I think I was pushed better. Siori needed to fight me in a situation, and besides, he wasn't supposed to take me down. Without that kind of restriction, wouldn't you have killed as lightly as I did? That's a little bit of a draw for me."

"Do you? Heh."

Kanae confirms Akira's expression. It just seemed like I meant it. In fact Akira was seriously answering that.

(It would be awesome if this were a pseudo. When you gain some strength, it usually seems like something like the confidence that comes from it seeps into the atmosphere, but you don't have it either. Actually, it's not a big deal, is it?

I can't feel the style of a strong man crossing from Akira to Shiori. He also replies that he is different.

Let's see how Kanae looks at Siori. Siori had a clear face. I don't seem to be willing to say anything about Akira's remarks. Siori's attitude also appears to affirm Akira's statement.

Is it still no big deal? Kanae lost a lot of interest in Akira by deciding so. Some children are overflowing in the east to a slightly stronger degree. Not as much as Kanae cares.

Kanae speaks to Akira in a light tone toward the strong there.

"Well, it's still amazing enough to fight my sister at that age. You think you can be confident? Strong enough. Yeah."

Kanae, who lost interest in Akira's prowess, tried to finish the story with it, but those who did not lose interest continue the conversation. It's Raina.

"... how can I be that strong?

Rayna asked Akira that with a serious voice somewhere in mind.

Three gaze gathers at Rayna. Akira is a little confused. Kanae seems a little surprised. Siori clouds her expression as if her unpleasant anticipation had been centered.

Siori talks as she cares about Raina.

"Ma'am. That kind of thing still has a pile of days..."

"Sorry, Siori. I'm asking Akira. Shut up."

"... excuse me"

Siori realized it was useless to say anything to Raina now, and closed her mouth to apologize for the imitation.

The gaze of three gathers in Akira this time. Akira decides to share her own thoughts, bewildered by some serious and painful atmosphere of Raina and Siori, but realizing that it is impossible not to answer.

"... uh, I'm not talking about what is strong, or mindset to be strong, or psychology like that, but to answer as talking about simple personal combat abilities, I knew it was gear and training. If you want to squeeze it into one, it's gear."

Kanae speaks with a disgruntled look.

"Uh, Akira, is the boy on your side? Even I have awesome gear! If you have awesome equipment, do a great job! Or are you like those idiots who say that?

The expression is distorted (boiled) so that Akira is slightly pointed at the figure. Because in Akira's perception, being supported by Alpha is like realizing those idiots' ideals in a way.

Akira has repeated numerous trainings and real-life battles like running over the dead line. That dramatically improves Akira's strength.

However, Akira was hesitant to answer the question from Kanae that Akira's low self-esteem and lack of Alpha support were different. Answer in a tone that gives some excuse instead.

"No, I'm not going to say that much, but one way or the other, I'm just talking about the emphasis I place on gear. In polar terms, it's just that it's faster to buy the right gun and shoot it than to train for a hundred years and fight monsters with your bare hands."

Kanae turns her disgruntled look into something a little fun to talk about.

"No, no, Akira boy. Don't overtrust the gun. Even in the presence of guns and tanks, fighting techniques continue to be refined without obsolescence. Wearing fortified clothing specific to melee combat also makes it possible enough for humans to beat each other up with monsters. Dare (ah), there are surprisingly many hunters who challenge monsters to fight without using guns. There is at least a certain amount of demand for the equipment in that hand."

"As close to the enemy as I go out of my way to beat him up, I'm just talking about using a gun. First of all, at a time when the gear on that hand is talking about this, it's the gear."

"Akira boy. We can't just talk about gear. Appropriate training is required to use the equipment."

"That's why I said gear and training, too, right? Hunters have no wonder whenever they die. So I don't have time for long periods of training. I'm talking about better gearing up as best as I can to make it up to you. Why would I be saying the same thing as the idiots Kanae said?

Kanae answers clearly.

"That's because Akira Boy's metaphor is bad."

"... you do?... well."

Akira was surprised, but convinced. A self-assured statement is quite convincing, no matter what the content. It is particularly effective for those who are not confident in their knowledge, common sense, etc.

Rayna thought a lot, swayed, and got lost listening seriously to the two of them. Then ask Akira after a little hesitation.

"... I hear you say that even if you say you get the best gear you can, if you get the best performance gear poorly, it makes you more prone to chronic and extra death by mistake of the performance of the gear as your strength..."

Akira answers as normal.

"If you're going to die of chronic mind, it might help if you're not. At least there should be a better chance of helping than if you die for reasons other than chronic. If you want to lose the performance of your gear in order not to be unconscious, I choose to get gear that is high enough to be unconscious and take care not to be unconscious."

It's easy to answer that, but hard to put into practice. In Akira's case, the chronic mind of her hand was relatively contained, as she was dying quite often, even though she had obtained an extremely high-performance piece of equipment called Alpha support.

Raina asks Akira again.

"... there are a lot of idiots like Kanae says. Hunters who actually get high-performance gear and get on with it, too. What does Akira think when she sees a hunter in that condition?

"I don't care what they say..."

"When someone sees you relying on that gear for high-performance gear beyond yourself, what do you think of it, or what do you think of it?"

Rayna had a serious look and was waiting for a reply with a look that seemed a little overwhelming.

Akira was confused without finding any connection between the content of the question and Raina's attitude, but she is also in a position to receive a meal, so assume that she is seriously questioned about the situation and think about it.

"... caution against being ambushed and deprived of gear?

Upon hearing Akira's response, Raina gave a flashing (astonishing) look, Siori was a little surprised, and Kanae smiled bitterly with a little fun. Akira realized she had responded deviantly and continued eating to misdemonize (sesame seeds).

What Rayna wanted to hear was her impression of the hunter in that hand. I'm talking about feelings of contempt, contempt, jealousy, disgust, ridicule, etc. But Akira didn't even touch the shards.

I don't care about that. In a way, Akira answered Raina's question very plainly. Rayna, who chewed Akira's answer, drips a little. Raina felt painfully accused of herself for caring a lot.

While listening to Akira and the others, Siori continued to think about Rayna's gear as she watched what Rayna was doing when she heard it. The siori asks Akira.

"Then Master Akira. Assuming, how would Akira persuade anyone who is reluctant to use disproportionately high performance equipment to do so?

Raina turns a slight glance of condemnation on Siori. Siori fixed her gaze towards Akira without daring to look at Raina.

Siori had advised Raina many times in the past to update her gear. But Raina was turning it down.

Drancam lends Hunter Rank equipment to the hunter to whom he belongs. The higher the Hunter Rank, the higher the performance of the equipment to be lent. Here is also why the young hunters of Drancam value the Hunter Rank.

Almost all of the young men's gear is on loan. Very few hold their own gear. The same goes for Rayna's gear.

Conversely, the ancient ginseng equipment is almost (mostly) self-contained. They can also borrow equipment from Drancam. But the gear according to their hunter rank was mostly lower than their own gear.

This is a detriment that enriches the performance of young preferences, that is, equipment that is loaned at low ranks. As a result, there was a biased tendency for the performance of the lease to be low for the portion used by high-ranking ancient ginseng and high for the portion used by low-ranking young people. In order to increase the survival rate of young people who are susceptible to death, it was actually effective.

In the long run, more hunters are gaining experience. The organisation has sufficient interests. But enough reason for the ancient ginseng to say pussy to the young man. They say they're idiots who mistake that for their own strength just because they're well-equipped.

Rayna cared a lot about that pussy. I guess that's because you're in a position to get better gear if you care about it.

On top of that, Siori was recommending that Raina further improve her gear. There's nothing wrong with having better gear in front of you. Unless you are better equipped with the power of gold and seen with white eyes not only from ancient ginseng, but also from youngsters and Katsuya and the rest of them, who are just fools in gear.

Akira was a little confused by how Shiori seemed to be asking and not seeping the seriousness behind it. Still, I am in a position to get a luxury meal, so I try to answer seriously myself. And I finished my own answers.

Akira answers terminally.

"I don't persuade you"

Siori asks back with a strange look.

"I'm not talking about persuasion or not, I asked you about the case of persuasion..."

"Maybe that, for some personal reason, isn't an economic circumstance such as not having money and not being able to buy good gear, and if you care about it, you can change gear as soon as you want, but you hate it because of some value in person, or because if you do poorly, it's just my best (as it is), or because of that hand? You can fight safer and more efficiently if you turn it into a better high-performance piece of equipment, but you're deliberately suppressing the quality of the equipment at your own volition? In other words, it's life-threatening. I'm ready to die and I'm willing to go through. Even if the reason is ridiculous from other people's point of view, or just my best, I guess it's why I deserve to put my life on the line. I don't really think I'd be persuaded by that, even if I said a mess with a mouth that was as clever as someone else in red found out to be that prepared. I can understand the human fortitude that I've decided to prepare myself for. So it's no use convincing me, so I won't convince you from the beginning"

After Akira answers that, she will see how Siori and the others are doing, wondering if she has said anything deviant again.

Kanae was in. Siori had an unreadable smile on her back. And Raina was cruel.

I might have said something deviant again. Akira, who decided so, adds with a slightly awkward look.

"... well, if you're going to talk about it with merit-making that I convinced you, but you couldn't, this is also an experience, or once you try, I'll say the right thing...?

Siori lowers her head gently as she smiles (cheeks).

"Thank you for your valuable input"

Akira answers with a glimpse.

"... No, I'm sorry I said something that wasn't helpful..."

"No, very helpful"

Siori was smiling in earnest.

Akira resumed the meal with some confusion. Both Siori and Kanae resumed their meals, but Raina remained temporarily bent.

Akira continued her meal by chatting with Siori and the others afterwards. Although I was a little concerned about Rayna's condition, neither Siori nor Kanae had the attitude to blame Akira, so I decided to stop reacting poorly.

As the meal progresses and the rest of the dish becomes scarce, Rayna's condition changes slightly. I keep thinking about something with a serious look up my face, which was deeply drenched. And a little stray disappears from the look on his face.

When Akira drank her after-dinner coffee, Rayna's expression was equipped with a certain readiness.

Akira bows her head deeply to Siori after the meal.

"It was a pleasure. It was delicious (hey). Thank you."

Siori smiles lovingly.

"Welcome, thank you. If you have any luck, I will be with you again."

Akira answers with a bitter smile.

"Yes.... Hopefully this time, please have something unrelated to that unscrupulous"

"I hope so too."

Cioli answered that with a somewhat moody look.

Akira stretches lightly out of the building.

"No, it was delicious. I'd love to come back, but now when? '

Alpha laughs and answers Akira, who regrettably speaks that way.

"If you pay for it, you can do it right now, right?

'Stop it. Don't tempt me. Though it will shake your will.'

"If Akira doesn't become a hunter with enough money to pay for her meals, she'll have trouble. You're a long shot, but keep up the good work. '

'I know. Wait for the temper.'

Akira answered that in a good mood and went home chatting with Alpha.

Raina and the others were still in the restaurant. Table seats already lowered with both dishes and cups, each sitting and waiting.

Kanae is waiting in her spare time. Cioli waits silently and quietly. Rayna waits for her heart to be ready.

Rayna had listened to Akira and asked herself, giving her an answer.

(Akira said. My life is in jeopardy. He said it was a reason he deserved to risk his life. He says it's no use convincing him because he's ready.... No. I'm not ready. So my own self is just my own self. It's just brilliant. I wrapped my life around something like that up to the lives of Siori and Kanae. With awesome gear, you can do it yourself. I hadn't even reached the fool who wanted that. I didn't even realize that)

Raina turns her face to Siori and Kanae and starts talking ready.

Siori, Kanae, I'm so sorry.

Raina asks Siori for a serious look.

"Siori. Now, may I ask you to update my gear? Ask for the best gear possible. I don't care who you think you are anymore."

Siori answers with a smile.

"I'm scared. Leave it to me."

Rayna asks Kanae for a serious look.

"Kanae. Please continue to escort me"

Answer in a good mood as Kanae smiles lightly as usual.

"That's good. That's what I used to do."

Raina continues further.

"And if possible, I want you two to train. Train to match my new gear. So much so that the two of you won't judge me for relying on my gear."

Kanae replies with a provocative laugh.

"Are you sure you want me to say that? This is gonna be tough, okay?

I'm ready. I've made up my mind.

Rayna answered with a voice whose inner readiness seeped out.

Kanae smiles invincibly.

"That sounds good! Do you graduate less than amateurs, too? Halfway through your gear and strength, I thought a lot when you were tasked with a less than amateur escort trying to move on and get into the danger zone, but from now on, you're going to be about a beginner."

Siori answers with a serious look.

"We will now cancel all future training appointments in Drancam. From now on, I will train my lady in Kanae with me. Training can be quite demanding. I hope you're ready.... and Kanae! Watch your mouth for a second!

Shiori stares at Kanae with a harsh eye. Kanae gently recieved it.

Repeat the question and answer as Raina ponders what is to come.

(How can I be strong? All I had to do was decide to be strong properly and try to be strong. I didn't even do it. I'll be strong! Never!)

Rayna made up her mind. To get the strength you can be proud of yourself.
