Rebuild World

Caddle is dying lying on the ground in Slam Street. It's fatal. I can't help you anymore. All Sijima's men are already dead.

"... why... so... strong... kid... silly... ri..."

If I hadn't met Akira that day, this wouldn't have happened. As the sight that led him to this end flowed like a running lantern in his head, Caddle held his breath remembering the intermingled emotions of resentment and regret.

The battle ended with the overwhelming victory of the Katsuyas. There are no injuries to the Katsuya and the others. The area was creepily quiet after the gunfire went out. Those in the vicinity either fled to places where they could not reach screams or anger, or (some) died as a result of winding up.

Katsuya and Yumina, who remain abhorrent to murder, have a harsh and spicy look on their face. Aruna looks frightened. Only Iri was calmly exploring the surrounding conditions in a relatively flat manner.

"Katsuya. I haven't been able to ascertain what happened to the one who shot me from the alley. Should I check?

"Yes, no..."

"Then you better get away from here right away. We made too much noise here."

"Oh, yeah. Okay."

"Let's hurry. Better not come here anymore."

Set up the gun as Iri guards his surroundings as he serves as his lord. As Katsuya and Yumina tried to pull Aruna's hand, Aruna hugged her to jump on Katsuya.

"Arna. Can you walk?

Arna shakes her neck vertically silently while holding her. Katsuya leaves the scene as she hugs Arna. Yumina and Iri followed the Katsuya with a subtle look as they alerted their surroundings after seeing those Katsuya and giving them a harsh look just a little like jealousy.

Tiol was fluttering down the alley. The bleeding is severe. The blood spilled was writing a red line on the ground that interrupted. It's just a coincidence you're not dead in response to a counterattack from Iri. That Iri's shooting was intended for restraint. That the protective clothing I was wearing was a good performance there. That he escaped immediately after that. Those factors overlapped so much that they left their lives behind.

Tiol was moving through the alley in a hazy consciousness, but he collapsed at his limit. I can't stand up anymore. Consciousness fades with life. Shivering with the fear of bleeding and death, someone's legs appear in Kasumi's sight and a man's voice is heard.

"Hmm? Are you sure you're the one at Cheryl's?

Tiol asks for help in a fine voice.

"... I need your help"

The man knew Tiol with a palm.

"Oh, you sure are... right, the one who sent Cheryl and the others when they were attacked by robbers. The one who was treated complained about it. I don't know what happened, but you're seriously injured."

"... Yes, help me"

"You can cure it, but how much do you think it will take to treat it? Can you pay for that? Or is Cheryl paying me?

"………………………"

"Sounds impossible."

Ask Tiol, stained with despair, with a palm laughing lightly and joyfully.

"That would make it a trial, no, an experiment, not a treatment, more than a failure to pay for treatment. I won't force you, but what do we do?

"... ok... ok"

Tiol quickly lost consciousness after answering so painfully. The palm laughs in a good mood without panic at all.

You got a contract.

A palm takes a syringe-like instrument out of his nose and injects it into Tiol's neck. The container portion of the instrument contained luminous green liquid. The liquid is injected into Tiol's body.

"Don't worry. You're helpful. We were lucky with each other. I think so."

The palms are lucky. But Tiol wasn't sure if he was lucky, either.

Cheryl reports a story she asked Akira to tell before in her room. The reason Cheryl's expression is a little tense is because of the content of the story. It was a report about Aruna that made Akira in such a bad mood, and one way or another it was bad content.

That Cheryl and the others couldn't find Arna. According to information from Viola, a shootout broke out around Aruna and the dead came out. Cheryl was talking horribly about those things.

"... so they don't know where that Aruna went after Suri"

"Right."

Akira is in a slightly worse mood than usual. I don't even have bad feelings for Cheryl. But Cheryl, who couldn't accomplish anything by asking for a corner, had enough to look at Akira's complexion.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"Never mind. As I said before, it would mean a pretty strong hunter was behind him. Because it's dangerous, you can stop looking for that sleigh. If you do something bad, you might be able to look at them. I haven't expected anything from the beginning to do with the hunters."

"... ok"

There was a shootout over Aruna. It's too dangerous for Cheryl and the others to get involved any more. That's what Akira thought, and one way or another she cared about Cheryl and the others and answered that.

But Cheryl took Akira's words for the implication that these guys were still useless.

"Next I'll do my best to help Akira"

Akira laughs bitterly.

"Oh, my God, I don't want to repeat another glitch."

Cheryl rushes to excuse Akira, who interprets herself badly at will and mocks herself with a harsh (awful) complexion.

"Shh, excuse me. In that sense......!

"Hmm? Yeah, I just interpreted it weird. I'm sorry. If you need anything else, please."

"Yes, sir"

Akira realizes herself being more grumpy than conscious, and takes a slow, deep breath over and over again to become conscious. I calm my frustration by telling them that it is a shame coating, such as sprinkling.

Akira's information terminal was notified. As soon as I checked the contents, Akira was in a better mood at once.

"Cheryl. I'm leaving today because I've got business to do. Let me know if you need anything."

"Okay.... Um, can I ask you something about errands?

Cheryl asked as casually as she could. Akira's interest in something that made her in a better mood at once, maybe a mix of anxieties, couldn't contain that.

Akira answers in a good mood without realizing Cheryl's gaze.

"I got word that the equipment I was ordering had arrived, so I'm gonna go get it."

That's it, then continue with a slightly sorry look and tone.

"Uh, so I'm sorry, but from now on, I think I'll have less chance of showing my face at the base. Hunter, we're going back to business."

"... Really? I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I'm glad you found time to meet me."

"Well, maybe I'll show my face as often as I used to."

Akira replied to Cheryl, who was largely unable to do so and managed to smile. There was a real difference in thoughts about the other person.

Cheryl drove Akira out of base before returning to her room. He had a mixed look of rush and sadness for a little while in the room where he was alone, but he shook his neck wide and sideways to tell himself.

"... no. Depressed doesn't improve the situation. Restore calm and think of your next hand. You don't want Akira to abandon you, do you?

Cheryl got a chance to touch Akira's friendship not long ago. Then I was losing a little room. There were many women in Akira's friendship, and because of her friendliness and beauty, she had made a lot of evil pushes.

Carol is the kind of person who only fixes his appearance, clothes, and clothes to seduce the opposite sex. Akira was having fun talking to that Carol. Elio and the others told me about meeting people like upper-class residents during training. The girl, who had two beauties in maid clothes, said she was showing Akira more attitude than acquaintances.

And someone who dramatically restored Akira's mood after just a few conversations is probably a woman too. Cheryl remembered the last word of a man named Wataba, killed by Akira, who was an arms dealer and a woman.

Akira has a very low interest in heterosexuality. Cheryl, who had made that decision before, regretted it, but was also reassured in a way that she thought it would be better to get along slowly with Akira. But the shadow of a woman appearing one after the other on Akira's side blew out her reassurance and reassurance.

Is it still just not appealing to me? Cheryl was seriously beginning to doubt the hypothesis that his men would look up to if they heard it.

I will continue to devise improvements while trying to be calm, but I cannot come up with an effective means of doing so. I hear knocking on the door in a hurry. That disturbed Cheryl's thoughts, aggravated his frustration, and made him reply that he couldn't afford.

"If it's not important, I told you later!?

Elio across the door is in a bad mood for Cheryl.

"There's a Corbe coming. That sleazy bastard says we need to talk about something, but should you go home?

Cheryl takes a big, deep breath once, whether she's calm or not. Akira told me it was a good idea to pull my hand, but it's not something I can ignore.

"... put it through the reception room. I'll be right there."

"Wow, okay."

Cheryl repeated her deep breaths with her hands on her chest trying to calm down, reconfirming her inability to afford it from how Elio was leaving early enough.

Cheryl and Corbe are sitting across the street in the reception room. Behind Cheryl are Elio and Alicia, as well as several of their men.

Elio and the others had a tense look on their face. Because in addition to what Cheryl looked like earlier, he even had a grumpy attitude to Corbe.

Cheryl starts talking with surprise (a lot) about Corbe.

"I heard you wanted to talk about that pickpocket, what can I do for you?

"I'm not the one who actually has business to do."

"What is that..."

Put it in front of Cheryl, where Corbe is taking out his information terminal and making it seem strange. Viola's voice comes from there.

"I'm the one who needs to talk. I'm sorry about this format."

Cheryl's expression was slightly distorted (boiled) when she didn't have a very good impression of Viola.

"... shouldn't you have contacted me normally?

"That's where I'm just worried. I have a habit of being wary of all kinds of professional patterns. It's also funny to ask for the quality of a secret line before you call. So, it's a pretty important story, but if there's someone nearby that you don't want me to hear, can I ask you to pay for it there?

"Depends on what you're talking about."

"By the time we talked about it, I couldn't do it anymore. I'd like you to guess from this troublesome tactic."

Cheryl, thinking a little, gave Elio and the others a gaze to exit the room. Corbe follows the Elios lightly out of the room.

"Viola, I'm taking my seat off, too."

"Oh, you can stay, right?

"I got your permission."

Corbe also stands up and tries to follow Elio and the others, advising Cheryl as he leaves.

"Be careful. The poor quality of the product comes with origami. I take the story from myself to make him turn it down from the beginning. That's a flat one. And vice versa."

"Oh, that's a good word for an employer."

"I'm sorry to take on a single stick that fits Akira's lover without her knowing it. I had nothing to do with this, did I?

Corbe walked out of the room declaring so to both Cheryl and Viola.

Cheryl puts a tough gaze on the information terminal by increasing his vigilance on Viola.

"So, what's the story?

"Speaking frankly, I'm in a good mood for you. That's why I brought you a good story."

"To me?

"Yes. I tried to capture that sleigh and get Akira in the mood, but unfortunately it failed. And I can't even think of a negotiating material to replace it, so I'm in the mood to apologize to my lover. This is also how I feel about Akira. So listen to me with confidence. I'm not going to break Akira's mood with this weird story."

To keep Akira in a good mood. That had convinced Cheryl enough. That convincing eases the alert.

"Okay. I'll ask."

Viola continued her conversation with pleasure when she noticed a change in Cheryl's voice color that could also be seen over her mobile device.

Akira, who left Cheryl's base, is on her way to Sizka's. I'm in a good mood to inflate my expectations with new gear.

"Don't you finally get back to hunter operations. Alpha. What do we do now? It's also good to look for undiscovered ruins from information on the terminal installation location at Lyons Tail, but don't you think it's a good idea to go to Kuzsuhara Street ruins again?

Ask how Alpha is nothing on the surface.

'I don't mind if Akira wants to, but can I ask why for once?

'Look, you've got an old world-made knife before, right? The one who broke the safety device and slashed the enemy over the wall. Yeah, I figured if I kept it as a trump card without selling it, it would help me when I had to. If you're new to your gear with my strength now, isn't it that hard to explore the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street again and find similar relics of the old world?

Close your face to Akira with a smile (cheeks) like Alpha puts in an exploration.

"That's all?"

Akira was a little confused by Alpha's attitude.

'That's all...... well, besides the relics at hand, I'm hoping to get a lot of relics for sale.... eh, is there anything creepy (first) about going to the Kuzsuhara Street ruins?

Alpha returns to her usual smile and answers.

'It's nothing. If Akira, who got her new gear, was on track to fulfill the snowflake by fighting a monster who had fled back in front in the ruins and a defensive weapon who had gone ahead, especially in defiance of my instructions, she'd just try to stab a nail in the head.'

Akira laughs bitterly. Akira was about to be killed by a giant mechanical monster equipped with optical camouflage for defying Alpha's instructions at that time. The monster shelling halved the surrounding buildings and fled desperately as the rubble poured down.

'He said it was bad then. I'm not going to do that anymore. "

'Now that I think about it, it was a good opportunity to switch Akira's consciousness back then'

"I'm sorry. You'd have switched it right after that, wouldn't you? So give me a break. '

Akira also had enough to laugh lightly and talk about that time. I regret my failure, but I am not overloaded. Alpha was also gently laughing and flushing.

Akira asks what she cares about, thinking she's grown a lot since then too.

'Speaking of which, I think I've grown somewhat compared to those days to boulders (that's right), but can't you still give me information about the ruins that Alpha is asking for? No, if you can't tell me because it makes me unmotivated by the extra difficulty, I won't force you to.'

'I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. I have a lot of things too. Because of those troublesome restrictions and constraints. "

…… Right. "

I thought it was a lot stronger than it was back then, but based on the attack on the ruins requested by Alpha, I guess it's a range of errors (Hanchu). I feel a little sorry for Akira for deciding that. Alpha sees how it goes and thinks a little before continuing.

'But well, Akira did grow there, too. So should I tell you about the approximation of the difficulty? Once Akira is strong enough to deal with that defensive weapon, the giant mechanical monster on her own, I will fully consider the intended ruin attack.'

Akira's expression is distorted.

"Give me that? Just me? Without any Alpha support?

'That's right. I won't give you a hand. "

'No, you won't be able to do anything about it. Even with Alpha's support, we can't take that down, can we?

'You need as much strength as you can handle that on your own. Could you have figured out why I didn't tell you back then?

'Oh. I get it. Looks a long way ahead.'

Surely all I would have thought was impossible back then if I found out about it. Even though Akira thought so, she felt her growth in what she thought might work out any day now.

"Still, can you see as far away from where you're going?"

Alpha smiles (cheeks) and holds back Akira, who puts slight expectations and confidence on her face instead of mocking herself.

"From the absurd recklessness with which you accomplished your request, you've become absurdly impotent. I'll tell you about the location of the ruins when you get to the point of a bad bet. The start of a full-scale offensive comes after the possibility of survival becomes realistic. '

'Right. I'm going to hurry to the point where I won't be forced. Until then. "

Of course. I'll take care of it.

Akira laughed lightly at Alpha, who smiled (cheeks) reliably, pointing her trust in them, but her expression suddenly became more dangerous. 'Cause we found Katsuya ahead of us in the direction of progress.

Katsuya, who was rarely acting alone, also noticed Akira, whose expressions increased sharply when the two gazed at each other. They have a facial expression that makes it easy for them to understand each other's heart certificates.

Akira is done with a degree of frustration that she has met a troublesome one. Akira's hostility is basically toward Aruna, who stole money from herself and fled properly. The hostility to something that comes with it is relatively thin. At least to the extent that recognizing that Katsuya is also the victim of Aruna's deception is a reason to remain calm.

"Akira. Take it easy. I'm not going to tell you not to kill each other, and this time I'm going to support you, but I want you to stop imitating that odds of winning by throwing them out of yourself, even though it's safer and more efficient to win after you get the new gear. Besides, it's a bad place. It's not like Slam Street. '

'I know. I don't have a grudge against him, either. "

Akira tries to get through by moving to the edge of a slightly wider road width so as to make a big detour through the katsuya in the front. It was also a sign of intent that there was no intention of contending on this occasion.

But Katsuya ignored it. Walk to the front of Akira trying to pass and call it off with a harsh look.

"Wait!"

Katsuya's expression had a clear animosity toward Akira, and his voice contained the intimidation of a hunter with definite strength.

Akira, blocked in the direction of travel by Katsuya, answers like a hassle.

"What can I do for you?

"Don't put your hands on Arna any more. He told me to hire people to sell Arnab. You think I'm gonna pull that off?

"Sell it over? What are you talking about?

"Don't fall in love. How dare you pay 20 million aurum if you give Aruna to me? What are you thinking?

"So what are you talking about?

To Akira, who has no idea and looks surprised, that was Akira's decision to shake.

"... four or five men in Slam Street told the guys who were even the hunter-like ones to give Aruna for 20 million aurum. Isn't that what you asked for? You asked me to look for Arna, didn't you?

"It's true that I asked someone I know to let me know if they saw that sleigh. I'll pay you 20 million aurum for finding it. I didn't even promise to pay. First of all, is there a fool who pays 20 million aurums for his sleigh physique?

"... well, that's"

Katsuya wandered when she pointed out something serious. Akira exhales and tries to walk away. I call on Akira, who passed beside Katsuya as she did, to look back and stop her as Katsuya returned to me.

"... Stay! We're not done talking!

"What is it? I would have done my errands. I don't know what it is, but it's your mistake. I have nothing to do with it."

I also thought Akira meant the violas and sizimas, but I reconsidered that I couldn't possibly pay 20 million aurums for that and decided it was a Katsuya mistake.

Katsuya speaks out forcefully.

"Even though that has nothing to do with you, there's no substitute for you being after Arna!

"So what?

"Don't get your hands on Arna. If I get my hands on it, I won't forgive you. Seems so."

"Right. Okay, I get it."

To Akira, who replied so lightly, Katsuya took confirmation with surprise.

"You're not gonna get your hands on Arna anymore, are you?

But Akira answers equally well.

"No, I'll kill you if I find you"

Katsuya transforms her expression from mild surprise to fierce anger and intimidates her.

"... are you kidding me?

Akira also turns her gaze to the hostiles with a serious and sharp look.

"I just answered your question properly. Are you kidding me? Don't you forgive me? You have your forgiveness to kill the sleigh who stole the money I earned from dying? Or does not forgive mean pull if you don't want to be killed? I get it. I don't want to die either."

I was slightly surprised when I heard a response like I had drunk my request. But it also disappeared with Akira's next words.

"So you die."

Confront each other with hostility. We don't pull out guns because we know each other that fighting in this place is creepy (first).

"Last time there was too much power difference between boulders (that's right). So I pulled. You don't think I'm gonna pull again, do you?

Pinch the mouth with Alpha slightly stunned.

"Akira, I want you to stop stirring me up."

'I just answered what was asked. Don't get me wrong. He said he knew. We don't want to kill each other here. Let's get away as slowly as before'

Seeing Akira slowly descend, Katsuya gives a slight mockery look.

"Hmm. Just your mouth and run away again."

"There's no reason to kill you here. If you have it over there, point the gun at it. Save yourself the hassle."

Even though they are children, hunters who are quite well equipped confront each other. The people around me are starting to distance themselves. Instead, a private security company entrusted with policing began to observe Akira and the others. If you put up a gun on this spot, you can't complain about getting shot dead without warning.

If Katsuya goes upside down and puts up a gun first, I can argue Akira is self-defense too. The guards also prioritize the control of the katsuya. I also have Alpha support now. I thought I could fight back enough even if I delayed one hand. Its Akira judgment was also well passed on to Katsuya, who tongued lightly.

Whether it is merely an argument between hunters, or whether it develops into a situation that needs to be controlled at all costs, the two hunters approach Akira and the others as the guards observe the evolution of the situation (in order to identify it). That was Elena and Sarah.

Speak to both of them so that Elena can blame them a little.

"Akira. Katsuya. What are you doing in a place like this?

Akira and Katsuya, who noticed Elena and the others, became very distracted and loosened their guard. And I see Elena and the others in a somewhat puzzling way.

Give Akira instructions on what Alpha should do.

"Akira. Let's disperse while he's distracted by Elena and the others."

'What? But...'

When Akira hesitates to leave without explaining her position or situation to Elena and the others, Alpha confirms with a slightly harsh look.

"Can we get Elena and the others involved when something happens here?

The easiest and most viable means of not causing any noise in this setting is for Akira to just get away from here. Akira understands about that too. Leaving to escape is a little bit more than involving Elena and the others. Judging by that, I gently meet Elena and the others and briefly tell them.

"Excuse me, I'm in a hurry, please excuse me"

"Hey, a little Akira?

Elena stops by a little surprise, but Akira walks away from the spot on a run. Sarah also seems somewhat surprised by Akira's attitude. And Katsuya was looking at Akira, who was leaving.

Elena and the others came to see how the relatively close ones were confronting each other in the inferior compartment in an evil way. Making a scene in a place like this would be a big deal. They're both hunters. If something happens, there will be no comparable harm to the brawl of ordinary people there. We called out to stop them if we stopped them, but one of them left to escape.

Sarah deliberately sounds light-hearted in an attempt to hear the situation from those who remain because she has no choice.

"Looks like he was rubbing it, but is something wrong?

Sarah was laughing lightly as she asked a few questions without blaming her. That's because I want it to be a care to calm the rash, and at the same time, to be able to laugh lightly and flush.

But Katsuya answers with anger on the table after having regained some calm.

"He was stopping me from trying to kill my friend."

Elena and Sarah face each other with a rugged look. Because it was quite a troublemaker than Elena and the others expected. Ask Katsuya as Elena builds her awareness as a negotiator with a serious look.

"Can I ask you something more?"

Katsuya snorted loudly, perhaps explaining to Elena and the others the circumstances of her private interpretation. Elena and the others clouded their expressions greatly.
