Rebuild World

Akira was still with Elio and the others in their training today.

The frequency of training is determined by about two or three times a week, mainly at Akira's convenience. I'm tired. I have business. Trouble. I don't feel comfortable. It can be decided whether to implement it to that degree of convenience. Conversely, if Akira is willing to do so, it will be implemented every day. This was also Cheryl's intention.

Cheryl is going to reopen the relic dealership any minute. Naturally in that case, it is necessary to open the store even when Akira is not here. If Akira restarts hunter operations, she will no longer reside in Cheryl's shop as before.

For this reason, the reopening of the store requires the unique strength of Cheryl's inmate party. I can make up for the equipment if I buy it from the snail. But personnel do not. We need people who can fight in earnest.

Participation in training is optional. However, Cheryl greatly praised the participants for their willingness to participate. Whether it was the result or not, the number of participants in the training gradually increased, and more than the number of training equipment already available to Akira was already participating.

The personnel of the simulated battle will be alternated, and those unable to participate due to lack of training equipment will be given a break. Thanks to that break, the time until the training was forced to end due to their fatigue was only slightly extended.

However, it does not change that Elio and the others return to base in exhausted conditions. The difference in strength with Akira is hopeless. He repeated his rigorous training to do his best in the whole body and continue to be ravaged (carved) on it. Elio and the others were desperately scratching their feet to get a little stronger, marveling once again at Akira's strength.

Akira was also desperately continuing her training again. Keep knocking down the training opponents under Alpha's command while taking waste from Alpha. There are several phantoms of Akira's body rolling in the wilderness that makes it a training ground.

To adjust the difference in power, enemy guns were treated with firepower breaking through Akira's fortified clothing defenses. As a result, the majority of Akira's corpses were exposed to unscathed appearances. Zero corpses at the end of training is the immediate goal. Akira's strength has improved dramatically when she made it happen. Enough to kick lightly no matter how many amateurs or others have the support of Alpha.

Akira rushes fast through the field using a shield, cutting through the enemy's rays and pulling the trigger precisely at the gunpoint before the enemy hides in the shield. Stop and pay attention to the boy who is still standing, trying to run past the enemy who has been judged to be hit.

"If you get shot, fall right down. It's part of my training to look at my fellow fallen allies and guess where I am from that position. If the one with the hit verdict stays standing, the other guys mistakenly assume it's a safe place there. It's an obstacle to my people's training."

"Shh, sorry"

The noted boy panicked and lay down on the ground. I look up just a little while I lay low and see Akira walking away from me. The expression was stained with surprise.

"... shoot from that distance and you know it's a good hit."

The goggles appear red stained when judged hit, but only the person wearing the goggles can tell that right away. Destruction decisions are not sent to anyone else. But Akira was speaking out convinced she had been hit. And the boy was actually on a hit verdict. This is amazing enough.

Temporarily, the goggle displays the end of the simulated battle as a defeat display. The boy groaned with a slightly harsh look.

"Have they all been knocked down yet? Too soon. It would be too strong. The boss will tell you that you can be strong enough to take the place of such a strong one.... Well, for the boss's sake. Just do it."

The boy gets up smiling bitterly. Cheryl's support was also plainly helpful in boosting war in places like this.

Akira gives a slightly suspicious look in the middle of several simulated battles.

"Alpha. You may be mistaken, but my chances of winning have improved considerably? My winning streak has been going on since just now... '

'It's not a mistake. It's definitely coming up.'

"Nothing. I'm not suddenly stronger, am I?

"It's true that Akira's strength is up a little bit, but she won't suddenly get that strong. Akira's winning streak is mainly due to their lack of strength."

"Lack of strength? Even those guys continue to train. You won't suddenly lose your strength enough to affect your chances of winning that much. I still know if fatigue causes it, but that's because I'm taking turns resting, so it's supposed to be an improvement over when I was struggling. Is Alpha out of their command?

'No, I'm not. The quality of command is even higher. "

Akira has a more suspicious look.

"Then why?

'They're also getting to fight to some extent, so they're putting the quality of support outside of my command to a slightly more realistic extent. Stop displaying Akira hiding behind the wall or something, depending on the distance, or erase the ballistic prediction line that was causing her to appear from the muzzle along the way. Other than my command, it's getting closer to their original strength. So Akira and their relative strengths are widening. "

While Akira is convinced of why her winning odds have risen extremely high, she regrets that. It's corner training. It doesn't make sense to keep kicking someone who's been relatively downgraded. Even an understated opponent would make sense to train to fight without being complacent, but I can't afford to train like that. That's what I think.

'Can't you undo that?

"If I go on any further, their way of fighting will become a prerequisite for my support. If convenient tools are starting to inhibit their training, we have to start limiting their use. If you do poorly, you'll only be able to move to a greater degree than an amateur outside of training. In the long run, you won't even be Akira's trainee. '

Akira laughs bitterly.

"My ear hurts as I rely on that handy tool."

Alpha smiles so well.

'Akira is good. I've been on your side for a long time, so no problem. This is how you continue to train yourself to deal with it. First of all, Akira is dying of ruins even in a state that benefits from my support, so you can't afford to be such a masochist, can you? Tell me about that luxury when you're stronger. "

"Best of all. I need to be stronger, too. But what are we gonna do? I don't think it's gonna be a good practice for me to keep kicking those guys. '

If the status quo persisted, Akira was completely unwilling to lose. There has already been enough overwhelming victory to be called ravaging (carpeting) several times. It won't be a good training for Akira or for the Ellios.

Alpha smiles invincibly after showing a little thought.

'I have no choice. Then let's put some restrictions on Akira.'

Changes occur in Akira's vision. The scenery a little further away begins to lose its clarity, increasing the silence around it. The enemy range of intelligence-gathering equipment has also been considerably reduced.

Akira shows slight upset.

"Alpha. What is this..., colorless fog?

'That's right. I tried to reproduce the increased concentration of colorless fog. Don't worry, it's a reproduction and it didn't actually happen that way.'

It's a limitation to reduce your chances of winning, and it's not like the colorless fog has actually darkened. Akira relieves herself knowing that. And smile bitterly and be vigilant around again. The place where the opponents should have been cleared has all returned to the highest priority and the place to be on guard.

'Well, get your mind back on it. Good luck. If Akira's chances of winning still don't go down, we'll increase the concentration of colorless fog until Akira's chances of winning go down.... Though that doesn't seem necessary'

At the next moment, Akira's vision stained red. We got a hit verdict.

Alpha is smiling and pointing sideways. When Akira looked in that direction, the boy who defeated Akira had a surprising look on his face. The boy didn't seem to think he could defeat Akira now either.

When Akira exhaled and drooled, there were more bodies on the ground at the end of her gaze for the destruction judgment. Akira smiled back bitterly at her own corpse pointing a resentful gaze at her somehow.

Akira's chances of winning then declined considerably thanks to the imposed restrictions.

Akira and the others have gathered for a light question-and-answer session once after each of the ten simulated fights. If nothing, I'll be in the next mock soon, but this time the question came up.

"Um, I suddenly feel like Mr. Akira's moving badly, is something wrong?

Answer with caution so that Akira is not in a mood for once.

"I just tweaked a little bit because my win was going on. Never mind."

What is adjustment? The same question came to Elio's heads, but I couldn't ask any more than Akira told me not to worry. At once he dropped his odds of winning and looked at Akira, who seemed a little grumpy, and shut his mouth looking at each other to avoid becoming snakes (snakes).

The simulation battle is resumed. The resting boy sat on the nearby rubble to watch the simulation.

"But what strength does Mr. Akira really have? We took turns, we took a break, but this is the way it is."

Another boy answers the whine.

"You owe it to him to wear fortified clothes, don't you? Good. I want one, too. The boss said he was going to get some gear from Mr. Katsuragi, and he said," Why don't you buy us some? "

Ellio, who was nearby, gently shakes his neck to the side.

"You won't be able to. It seems very expensive. At least I can't distribute it to everyone. And..."

Elio remembers when Akira saved his life. Even when Akira was not dressed in fortified clothing, she was carrying large quantities of artifacts packed into a rucksack in addition to firearms. At that point, it's possible to fight with that weight on your back. Maybe it's not simply that it would be nice to have fortified clothing. That's how Elio tried to answer, remembering that he had been stabbed with a nail (a knife) for not talking about the extra thing, and he stuck his mouth.

Encourage the boy to continue strangely when he sees Elio, who unnaturally stopped talking.

"And?"

"... Plus, you could have bought a few. Besides, I can't do anything as high-performance as Mr. Akira's fortified clothes. It's expensive."

"So is that. But if you wear one or so, have a good one... Oh, in which case Elio will wear it? He's also the boss' escort for once. It's good, it's good."

The boy looks at Elio with envy.

"You're doing a pretty good job of beating Akira up. Treat me like an executive with Alicia."

Elio dislikes to distort his expression.

"Stop me. Don't steam back. I regret doing something stupid."

"Speaking of the one who did something stupid......, is that Tiol lately? I suspected you and Akira of getting along and pissed off the boss, and then I brought those guys in. Speaking of which, I don't think I've seen him lately......, did he run away?

"No, it's true that Alicia was assigning the job, so she should still be in jail for once"

"I feel like it's just a matter of time. If you don't get away with it, you won't be able to undo your lethargy unless you do something considerable. For example, if you catch an example of a sleigh."

Elio thinks a little and then shakes his head to the side.

"You can't. I'm talking about a hunter stronger than Mr. Akira being the back shield. If I succeed poorly in that, now I can look at the guys behind it. What if they push us to base? That would piss off the boss. So the boss is telling you to just report the date, time and place you saw, and don't get any worse at it, right?

"Is that true, too? You packed it. That guy."

The mock fight ended while the chatter continued. Elio rises up and speaks to those on the resting side.

"All right! We're next! Let's go!"

A tired boy makes me wonder to see how Ellio looks fine, who should be as tired as he is.

"You're doing pretty well. Why are you so motivated?

"I have to be strong for Alicia. I don't have time to rest here."

"This guy said it right in the face. Is this what she has? Oh, my God."

"Hmm. Say anything"

Elio laughed lightly and reopened. The boy laughs and plays a little bit.

"What a guy. Uh, I want her, too. I want her like a boss, like Mr. Akira."

"Wouldn't you be able to do it if you were as strong as Mr. Akira?

"Don't say that."

Ellio and the others took turns with those who had finished the mock battle while joking. And Akira kicked me and beat me hard, and then I continued my training.

Tiol roaming through Slam Street with a rugged look. The person is going to hide it, but if you look a little cautiously looking for someone, you'll know soon enough. The rush to recruit had highlighted the unnaturalness of trying to hide his actions poorly.

(... damn! Hey, hey! Are you sure it's around here? Isn't that appropriate information again?

Tiol was focused on searching near Arna's lair. Because they told me that if I looked around, I would most likely find it. But I can't find it.

(Would you like to hear it again? But when you ask me again and again, they think you're suspicious of the information and you're in a bad mood. The information from him is what I'm asking for. But I can't find it like this...)

What to do. While the stray made Tiol's expression even less distorted and delayed his rapid decision, his vision revealed the people he was after.

(... there he is! Found it!)

When Tiol hides in the shadows, taking care not to become suspicious of behavior, he reconfirms the appearance of the intended people for fear of mistakes. Those who were ahead of them were the rashes.

Four people, Katsuya, Yumina, Iri and Aruna, walk through Slam Street.

Arna wore a coat for hunters that could cover her head so Akira wouldn't find her. The coat was borrowed from Katsuya and the others with Drancam's equipment. Ask Katsuya to peek into her mood while hiding a little of her sorry expression in the hood part of her coat.

"Thanks for hanging out with me. But was it good? Katsuya's busy too..."

Katsuya and the others were on their way to Aruna's lair. A few Aruna hideouts in Slam Street still contain small amounts of gold, daily necessities, etc. We're on our way to get them.

Katsuya gives out the goodness of the person in front and laughs lightly.

"Never mind. It's not safe to let Arnab go alone, and he's on our errand."

"If you have business, I knew you were busy..."

"'Cause it's okay. When I say errands, I'm just trying to find an artifact store called Slam Street to breathe in the hunter's operation. Basically, I just wander around looking for a store, so Arna's fine with it. Besides, look, maybe we can meet Arna's best friend, right?

"Yeah. I'm talking about if we meet by chance. If I could just talk to the Katsuya and the others about how they could help me, I'd be relieved. Because you worried about me to the end. I'd like to explain that I'm okay if I can."

"Right. You're a sweet guy."

"Yeah. Proud best friend.... I was annoying her all the time."

She laughs at Aruna with a slightly mocking smile on her face so that she can cheer up.

"Then I'll have to thank her properly later. It's okay, I can handle it. Akira's after me. It might take a while, but I'll figure it out."

"Katsuya......"

Aruna moisturizes the excess of her eyes and stares at the rashes. Katsuya was laughing lightly.

Yumina and Iri exhale simultaneously. Again. The two chests were filled with the same thoughts.

That's how Katsuya cheaply contracts heterosexual favors and does a lot of help. As a result, more women fall in love with Katsuya again. Yumina and the others often help solve the problem. I couldn't refuse Katsuya's favor because of her love (ho) weakness, and Yumina and the others had helped me many times with some kind of giving up.

Yumina and Iri look at each other when they notice each other's sighs. And we understood each other's hearts, and we laughed bitterly at each other.

Tiol is in touch on the information terminal.

"... oh yeah. I found Arna. Maybe."

The person contacted returns a surprising voice.

"Maybe? Check it out."

"Don't be lame. The Arna-like one wears a coat deep and hides his face. If you try to make sure from the front, the other guys will notice the boulder. Those are the hunters who said Akira was stronger than herself, right? Can you stand on the front of the one stronger than Akira? I went into Arna's den, and the outfit and all that information I got from you is the same. I'm sure it's him."

"You have no choice. You (you) should put on after Arna as you are. You can't disarm the settings for transmitting the location information of the information terminal you gave me?

"Okay.... hey, if those guys show a gap, can I kill Arna?

If you kill Arna and report it to Akira and Cheryl, you should be able to wipe quite a bit of the lapse you've brought the Raiders to the base. Tiol thought so.

"I don't mind that, but you can't do that, can you?

Hearing a voice that sounded more like a fool than provocative, Tiol tongued and hung up the call.

After finishing collecting Aruna's personal belongings, Katsuya and the others wandered around looking for a relic shop in Slam Street as originally planned. Relics that seem to be available for resale at high prices are flowing to relics stores in Slam Street. The rumor also reached the hunters of Drunkham.

Recently, Katsuya and the others were well away from work directly related to relics of the old world. Help with intercity transport escorts and facility security. They are jobs that emphasize the creditworthiness of the hired party and are also suitable for increasing the Hunter Rank efficiently. Although intercity transport escorts and others are an easy task to grasp beforehand, as long as they have a certain strength, they often carry precious luggage in large quantities. I can't leave it to those hunters who could suddenly move into robbery on the way to work.

He needed credibility, had an easy track record, ensured the safety of his people, and was entrusted with the task of easy (yasu) hands. Katsuya is happy about it. But when it comes to hunter flavor (garbage), I also think that it's about obtaining valuable artifacts in the ruins of the old world. Sometimes we go to the ruins of the Old World with assigned work, but that was not basically the main purpose of collecting artifacts, such as the front-line base building auxiliary work for the Kuzhara Street ruins.

Opportunities for getting involved with relics of the old world have been diminishing lately. Let's go around the rumor shop to make up for the opportunity. That's what Katsuya thinks, and she's looking for a rumored relic store with a half-date feel.

"Does Arna have any idea where the store is or what? You've been around here until recently, haven't you?

"Sorry. I know there's a store like that in Slam Street, too, but not to the store's location. Look, old world artifacts are expensive, right? It's a place that doesn't have any money for a kid like me. If you're a kid with a former tightening of the rope or something, it's different again. Besides, at first glance, I hear that many stores can't get in without a referral from someone, so I don't think it makes much sense to just know the location of the store."

"... I was thinking if I wandered the Slam Street appropriately, I would find it, but was the thought sweet? I wonder what we can do to become customers of that kind of store."

Seeing Katsuya with a slightly troubled look, Arna desperately tries to explore her memory. I'm trying to be of some help to Katsuya. Anyway, I need to remember something and talk to you. Because I was in a bit of a hurry because I thought about it, I put it in my mouth without thinking about what I remembered.

"I've heard that when you show good money payments in other stores that are connected to the store where the relics are handled, they are often introduced as customers. It's an outdoor restaurant or a liquor store... a store that's useless to Katsuya, and I heard about it with a tame customer..."

Arna answered with a disappearing voice at the end as she lowered the end of the story. Because of this, Katsuya, who could not hear well, listens back.

"What? What store?

Arna dyes her cheeks a little shy.

"... Oh, the whorehouse. The whorehouse in Slam Street is sometimes run with the former tightening of the territory there as a back shield, sometimes introducing the relic shop to visitors there.... The story is that hunters who earn money from the ruins of the old world often become customers, and also give them relics that they take instead of money for payment..., that kind of connection..., Ka, it's not about Katsuya, is it?

Katsuya has a hard grin mixed with a rush and lighting.

"Oh, yeah."

Yumina turns a gentle smile on her face.

"If I said it had anything to do with it, I'd bust it."

Yumina had serious eyes. Katsuya answers in a panic.

"No! It doesn't matter! Mr. Mizha cautioned me not to go to weird places, too!

"... does that mean I was there before I was noticed?

"Yes, no, now it's the Aya of the Word..."

When Katsuya is tempered by Yumina's temper, Aili pinches her mouth with a rugged look.

"Katsuya."

"No, Iri, that's a misunderstanding right now..."

"I'm being followed"

Katsuya returns her expression to something serious.

"... since when?

"Since at least half an hour ago"

Yumina also asks Iri with a serious look.

"You're not mistaken or anything, are you?

"If we're just stumbling in the same direction, we're not going in the same direction for 30 minutes without a clear destination."

The atmosphere of the Katsuya and the others turned into a stubborn one.

It was Tiol who was following the Katsuya and the others. Aili was letting Tiol swim to see if he was really following us. Tiol had decided it was simply unnoticed.

Pack the distance from Tiol while Katsuya and the others shelter Aruna. It was too late for Tiol to realize that he had been noticed gradually. Katsuya was already here.

Tiol was intimidated and awed by the Katsuyas, who were too different in equipment and strength, and stood on the spot without being able to escape.

Gently peel the tiol while the katsuya gives out the hunter's awesome.

"What are you imitating? Why are you following us?

"Hey, what are you talking about?

Katsuya threatens Tiol even more lightly when she tries to misdemonize him with her pulled face.

"I'm sorry, but there are a lot of circumstances here, too. If you're not going to lighten your mouth if you don't hurt me a little, you can do what you want, okay?

Tiol rushes out halfway.

"Wow, okay! I'll talk! He asked me to! I'm sorry! Give me a break!

"Asked? To whom?

"Look, look, it's him"

Tiol said so and pointed behind the Katsuya and the others. That was just a proper finger to deflect the consciousness of the rashes. I was going to run away if my consciousness got a little off my back.

Katsuya and the others look back to confirm. Tiol tried to escape by punching the gap, but he stopped by accident. Because there were four armed men in a place that just properly pointed fingers, and they looked at themselves firmly.

Those four were Caddle with Sijima's men.
