Rebuild World

Akira switched her mind and got to the point when Sizka returned, combined with a reason to shed some subtle embarrassment.

"Mr. Sizka. I'd like to ask you to talk to me about buying a new gun, would you mind?

"Of course."

So Akira looks a little hesitant.

"... I have a little request, forget it if it's unscrupulous"

Sizka smiles (cheeks) after a bit of wonder to encourage her to continue.

"If you don't ask me anything, I won't know. So start by saying whatever you want. It's also my job to consult with customers who are unscrupulous. I don't know if I can live up to my expectations, but are you going to work sincerely to meet them?

Akira looked a little relieved and nodded lightly before proceeding with a specific explanation.

Sizka roars softly after listening. Because it was definitely somewhat unscrupulous.

I want to use a special bullet as powerful as a CWH objective assault gun. I want continuous shooting performance like a DVTS minigun. I also want to use bullet-loading like an A4WM automatic bullet-loading gun. I also want long range precision shooting performance like sniper guns. I want to make it as small a gun as possible on top of that. It would be fine if I could use it with my current reinforced clothing, but I would also like to keep the weight down if possible. That was Akira's request.

"I knew you didn't have such a convenient gun..."

Akira said it herself and thought it was impossible. Try to take a look down at the roaring sizka. Then Sizka stops roaring and answers with a slightly more complicated look.

"If we're talking about having or not, we do."

"I do."

"Yeah. There are quite a few people who want the all-purpose gun in that hand. I know that means meeting that demand, but quite a few companies are developing and selling versatile guns of that kind. But I don't personally recommend it."

"Really? But I think it would be useful if I could do a lot of things."

Explain to Akira, who is wondering, that Sizka, when rarely clouding her face a little, adds a bad impression as if intentionally.

"These kinds of guns are mostly expensive as a result of their many features. Besides, it would be more appropriate to describe performance as instrumental poverty rather than omnipotence. Of course (of course), there are products that are not instrumentally poor, but that can be called versatile, but the price jumps even more just for the performance improvement."

"Is the price that different?

"If you meet Akira's performance requirements earlier with an individual gun, you need to be able to align (about) a CWH objective assault gun with a DVTS minigun and an A4WM automatic projectile gun with a DSS sniper gun, but if you make up for it with a versatile gun, at least double the amount you bought them all, and if you do poorly, you're missing one digit."

"Oh, is that so different?

"Yes, the more high-performance a product is, the less cost effective it is in terms of simple performance, but that's not the price we can recommend for boulders."

Sizka first tried to plant a cost disapproval in Akira. Keep looking at Akira with a troubled look on her face and feeling responsive.

"The skill required to use each feature is also higher than that of an individual gun. It's hard because it extends the time it takes to be able to use it well enough."

Akira has an even more difficult look on her face. Continue so that Sizka folds up.

"Even if we can use it completely in a short period of time, we'll have less firepower and less freedom than if we took advantage of all the guns in individual features. I told you, it's better for four of us to hold one gun at a time, with no doubt about the firepower and freedom."

Akira is roaring when she hears Sizka's explanation. Sizka prayed a little for Akira to change her opinion on this, while putting out an apology that on the surface would not meet the expectations of her guests.

Sarah pinches her mouth in a light tone there.

"Hey Akira. If you want long range sniping, I think it's a story where you can buy an extra sniper gun, then you can't?

"No, I'm already carrying a CWH objective assault gun, a DVTS minigun, and an A4WM automatic projectile gun, so it's a bit impossible to carry another relatively large gun..."

"Speaking of which, Akira did her best to carry a lot of things around in Serantarville. Even I keep the gun in my hand by two."

When Sarah is smiling bitterly for a little fun, Akira smiles bitterly for a little embarrassment.

"I bought it at the corner (because of it), so I want to carry it with me so that I can use it at any time, or I don't want to leave it in my car. Plus, there's no trouble with the firepower, and each gun has a use, and none of it makes up for the other guns. But I thought it would be impossible to carry another one on the boulder, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a gun that combines all the features."

"That's true, but normally I don't think that's the kind of firearm that carries more than one because they all have different uses. If that's all we need, if we're going to the ruins, why don't you give us a call and we'll hang out? At the ruins of Mihazono Street, you asked me to go out with you. We have plans too, so there's no reason to do it any time soon, but if you tell me first, I'll adjust.... Elena. Elena. You're gonna be okay, right?

Affordable and ex post acceptance. Sarah was worried about Elena adjusting around it and was in a mild panic remembering that she would be quite upset if a sudden scheduled interruption occurred.

Elena answers with a laugh without compromising her mood.

"It's okay. Akira has been associated with a break-in into the Serantaru building at the site of Mihazono Street, and I'm willing to make some adjustments to her plans."

Sarah shows light relief. Elena smiles lightly and bitterly at Akira, then smiles in a good mood.

"That's why if you need manpower, don't hesitate to say it."

"Thank you. I'll sit down. Then, please."

Akira grinned lightly and bowed her head to Elena and the others. Sizka laughs at it and suggests to Akira.

"So what's Akira gonna do? If you're going to the ruins with Elena and the others, I knew I wouldn't recommend a multi-function gun. You just have to pick a gun to take with you as Elena and the others are armed. Change the new gun quote to sniper gun selection?

"Oh, no, I knew I'd ask you to consider it with a versatile gun. Interrupting into Elena's plans annoys me, and I don't know what I feel like that day, I often move in that mood, and I've been in quite an unexpected situation, so I thought it would be useful to have a gun that would work out pretty well in any situation with that. So first, I'd like a quote with a versatile gun. No, ask me, what is it, but it looks pretty expensive, and it's a different story if you can buy it from me."

…… Yeah. Okay. "

Sizka appeared slightly sad for just a moment. But before Akira notices it, she smiles lovingly and continues to serve customers. Sizka can't ignore it any more than the customers are demanding.

"So Akira, what's your budget?

"I'd like to cap a billion or so orum, please."

Akira answered that without giving too much thought. And I look at Sizka, who is a little surprised, and I shake her neck in a hurry.

"No, I don't have that kind of money. However, I haven't decided on a specific budget yet, but I just thought it would be easier to consider future budgets if I knew the performance and cost guidelines in advance, even if I saved and bought gold."

"Then can I ask you why you gave that 1 billion aurum number?

"With Elena and the others before, the amount earned from the hunter operation of the Mihazono Street ruins was AUR 500 million, so I tried to double that for now."

Given that Akira has made 500 million orum last time, a billion orum is not that unrealistic a figure either. And a billion aurums is a budget ceiling (to understand performance, etc.), and I don't believe that I can make or pay that amount immediately. Sizka perceived it from Akira's attitude and was convinced and relieved (mostly).

"Oh, that's what you mean. I'm a little surprised."

"I'm sorry I surprised you. But well, maybe if we had a billion aurums, we'd re-equip it, including redeployment of fortified clothing, so it was weird to put it out as a gun budget.... I have no regrets about the gear I bought, but I've already spent all 500 million orum on buying motorcycles. Even though I have to buy a car. I'm a little surprised myself when I think again about the day when I had half a billion aurums but still don't think it's enough"

When Akira grinned with a slightly more complicated look, Sizka and the others laughed back. After that, he used money as a hunter as a seed for conversation and made a temporary (bulky) joke.

The content of the chat shifts and becomes the subject of Hunter's gear. Akira bought a new rucksack there remembering the damaged condition of her rucksack.

The rucksack chosen is a very durable product with protective clothing-like properties, with a large variable width of capacity, which folds quite small when the contents are empty. It is the highest quality product available for immediate purchase at the Sizka store, priced at 3 million aurum. Akira bought more than one of them.

Sizka takes the confirmation once.

"I don't know if Akira can afford it, and I think it's important to hang that much money if you're a hunter carrying expensive artifacts, but are you sure that's good? Some things are cheaper, right?

"Yes, I've wasted relics from the contents before and I've been in quite a hurry lately, so I'll use this as an opportunity to replace them with something solid"

Akira laughed happily when she saw the new rucksack. 40 million aurum relics were wasted in the Serantalville. On his return from Tubakiharabir, he almost wasted all the artifacts he had taken home at the corner (because of it). Cheap shopping if you think about it. I was laughing satisfied when I judged it so.

Akira, who had done her errands, returned and the sizkas were the only ones in the store again.

Sarah was laughing and dropping off with a light wave at Akira, but turning her expression into something a little more serious when she couldn't see it. And I changed the subject of the chat to something Akira couldn't have been there for.

"Nevertheless, I wonder where Akira got that artifact"

Maybe it's a story you should have listened to lightly. But Sarah thought so but didn't intentionally ask. Where expensive artifacts are obtained is an important element of hunter operation. Ask that. You need to be close to the right person.

Sarah also doesn't mean to be so unfriendly with Akira that just asking about it would greatly damage the mood of the other person. But I've been thinking a little carefully about the other day.

Sarah wanted to apologize to Akira about the other day, but it was stopped by Sizka. The apology itself does not constitute an act of steaming back the other day. Even if you want to apologize, you should put aside some time and wait until the other day in Akira is weathered enough to become an event that is not enough to take. That's what they recommended.

Guess as Elena remembers Akira's purchase.

"Multiple high-performance rucksacks. Plus two pairs of (anti-) force field armored Forcefield Armor bullets. Akira bought it without worrying about it. That means you've determined that the expense is reasonable enough. Perhaps we've found another uninvestigated ruin."

Elena's expression is slightly distorted.

(Suppose the rationale for a billion orum budget is not that it's twice the amount you earned last time, but that it's because you found an untapped ruin and decided you're going to make that much... And suppose you ran into a monster so powerful that you needed a pair of (anti-) force field armor "Forcefield Armor" bullets... Sarah offered Akira extra power, but if she asks us to do that...)

Akira previously taught Elena and the others about the presence of the site of Yonozka Station, but even if she found the unseen site again, she would not teach herself as before. Trust is probably down on the other day. Even without it, as soon as we taught ourselves the ruins of Yonozka Station, the other hunters immediately knew where the ruins were. No wonder you're on guard. That's what Elena was judging.

(If you do poorly, you might be judged to be exploring the source of your acquisition just by listening lightly. Should I not inadvertently touch Akira unless she tells me so? I'd like to invite you to explore the ruins that you're likely to earn and work with me to restore trust by putting your energy into hunter operations...)

Previously, I invited Akira to the ruins of Mihazono Street, thinking it was a hunter operation that could be made relatively easily, but it turned out to accompany the request to enter the Serantalville, even though it was an unscheduled matter. Whether Akira considers it to have been a beneficial hunter operation. It's pretty subtle now. Invitations from people who lack trust and so on are usually vigilant and refused. Even more so if you're running a life betting hunter.

Elena tries to be objective about Akira's appreciation of herself as a negotiator. But the evil push and the desire were not fixed as they thought, and made his face a little more rude.

Sizka saw how Elena and the others were doing, which she couldn't call superior mood, and somehow guessed why it would cloud her face.

"Elena. Sarah. It's an artifact Akira brought in, but I was wondering if you could help me with the work. Look for a vendor for me, but Elena and the others will have it, too, right? With enough money, it's easy for me to recommend some high-performance gear to Akira."

Sarah can flatter her face.

"Oh, then I'll buy some. I'd like to refill my spare underwear."

"I'm telling you, I wouldn't sell them for a cheap price because they're regular, would I?

"I know. It's okay. I'll buy it for a higher price than the market. Still cheaper than buying through other vendors."

Elena grins and pinches her mouth.

"Shall I then firmly look for a vendor who might buy it at a high price in order to raise the price"

"Hey Elena. You must be my partner, right? You can expect a little palm work, can't you?

"It's okay. It's cheaper than buying from another vendor, isn't it? Sarah's purchase will be your card to raise the purchase amount when you negotiate with the vendor."

Elena and Sarah laughed at each other jokingly.

Sizka smiles and thinks.

If Elena and the others raise the purchase price of Akira's artifact, if they tell it to themselves, they will restore a little faith in Elena and the others. The barrier for Akira to turn to Elena and the others for help should also weaken. That should change Akira's gear preferences.

There is no lie in the explanation for not recommending a multifunction gun to Akira. But I haven't told you the best reason. That is a concern that if Akira is able to fully use a multifunctional gun, she may further reduce her awareness of seeking help from others.

Akira craves equipment to unlock all things by herself. Seeking equipment without gaps in diversity is unconsciously excluding the existence of others that compensate for their own weaknesses. Essentially because of the lack of the concept of collaborator.

Others are either enemies or not enemies, not allies. I am not one to help myself. Akira is stained with that consciousness. Sizka was spotting it.

Perhaps Akira won't ask for anything in return there, even if she helps someone. But that's not out of beauty, abnegation, or kindness. It's just the result of a lack of awareness of helping each other. That's why you cut them off quickly. Because it is only one-sided from the beginning, and the intrusion is nothing more than solitary thought. That's what Sizka expected.

Someday I want Akira to have someone to help each other out too. Even if that was me or not me. Sizka hoped so.

Akira is still coming to the Higalaka Residential District ruins today. And just like the other day, he was conducting site search training, which included enemy and covert (Oomitsu) actions in the site, as well as quick and efficient collection of artifacts.

Akira was a little overwhelmed by the lack of training, but the loosening disappeared when she continued to do so temporarily. Instead, explore the surrounding situation with a slightly surprising look.

'... Alpha. Anything, a little crowded?

'Surely there are many of them. A little distance from Akira. You're working on collecting artifacts. "

"I knew it"

Akira was exploring the location of monsters and other hunters with information-gathering equipment as part of her training, and kept moving to avoid being explored for her position so that she wouldn't encounter them. That's what I did the other day, but today I was often approached, and because of that, I was unable to collect any artifacts.

"This is a pretty lonely ruin already, isn't it? Why are there so many hunters?

"You may have heard rumors about hunters who found expensive artifacts in the wrong place."

"... it's me"

That's what I'm talking about.

Akira shut up with a slightly harsh look and then spanned (again) on a motorcycle that had stopped (and) nearby.

"Alpha. I'm leaving today. I just wanted to make sure."

"Okay."

Akira walked away from the spot as it was. Then the hunters, who had taken quite a distance and roughly checked Akira's position, appear. And I began carefully to find out where Akira was working on collecting the artifacts.

When Akira returned to Kugamayama City, she headed straight under the snail (originally). I notice Akira stopping her bike nearby.

"Akira. Yeah, if it's the recovery pills I was ordering, they're here. You still buying today?... for once I ask, no way, did you bring such a substitute again?

"In the meantime, I'll take the recovery pills. Apart from that, I'd like to ask you something."

"What?"

Akira told Katsuragi what happened at the Higalaka Residential District site. That there was a sudden increase in the number of hunters in the ruins that should have been lonely. That they were obviously acting to tail or monitor themselves. I explained them as if I suspected them in the dark.

But the snail answers lightly without agitation.

"I guess."

"It will..."

As Akira appeared to be surprised the other way around by the kind of attitude that had given her a light admission of the Katsuragi charge, Katsuragi gave an attitude that even felt mildly dumb (aki).

"I'm telling you, I didn't blow you into buying an old world-made information device. Think about it. If I say that and you get caught scratching those artifacts by other hunters, I'll be the one to lose. Scratch, grab, and fewer relics are brought into my shop for me."

"Well, yes..."

When Akira is showing a subtle appearance of conviviality, she snorts (sighs) and exhales as if the snails were obviously dazed (openly).

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you have no idea what it's like to bring it in twice."

"Impact, you just asked me to buy an artifact, didn't you?

The scallops exhale again at the sight.

"You, if you're strong, you're light beyond those people, and your knowledge and experience as a hunter is like a rush."

"Sorry about that."

When Akira was slightly infidel (fluffed), the snail laughed a little lavishly.

"It would be good. It's troublesome to be suspected of being a boss, and this is the time. I'll explain it very carefully."

When Katuragi put Akira in the employee refrain part of the trailer, she prepared a drink as before and sat against the table. And I started explaining it in detail.

The old world-made information terminal brought in by Akira was of good quality and a substitute not so easily found in the ruins around the city of Kugamayama. It makes a lot of sense that a low-ranking hunter like Akira brought that into the purchase twice.

I can also clean it up once that I ran out of luck and stumbled upon it. But the second time it exists, the speculation widens. Because those who do not know the value of the artifact accidentally take it back appropriately, or (some) those who do not know its value desperately gather it back, and there is a possibility that they have gone again to look for it and found it again.

That suggests the existence of sites where expensive artifacts are still sleeping. Relics of equal value are often found from close proximity within the same ruins.

"The guys I called to the appraisal look straight at you bringing your old world-made information device into the purchase for two days. The one that moves even half-heartedly moves. That's all that's worth to that artifact. But to that extent, it's an excessive reaction. This is my idea, but you, didn't you bring another artifact elsewhere?

"... those are clothes-based artifacts. It shouldn't matter."

"That's sweet. Even clothes-based artifacts are expensive. Even if it wasn't as expensive as an old world-made information device, it would suffice to have the fact that it brought in expensive artifacts for three days in a row."

"... I don't think they were traced at that time. The store that brought the artifact in, or the contents of the artifact sold, is not known."

"Sweet. I don't know what store you brought the artifact to, but if you're a partner in the hunter's office, the information on that hand will spread quickly. Instead, partner stores can attach hunter codes and strings to search for the contents of the hunter or the artifact they bring in. On the other hand, the guy who wants to hide the information on his hand is sending artifacts to a non-affiliate store or something. I thought you brought the artifact to me and Cheryl with your mouth."

"Is that what happened..."

Akira was at the same time relieved (mostly), mourning her own loss. At least because there is no longer any chance that the information was intentionally flown from Sizka's store. Perhaps Sizka's store is a partner, and someone referenced the information by registering the purchase information as usual. Akira was in a slight mood with even a suspicious slight concern disappearing.

"But when that kind of information is registered, don't hunters who hate it stop bringing artifacts into the hunter's office shopping mall or something?

"If you're a high-ranking hunter, you can ask the hunter's office to restrict the viewing of that hand's information. High rank hunter privilege. Speaking of which, what's your Hunter Rank?

"Sure, 29."

The scallops look unexpected as they are gently dazed.

"With your gear and strength, that low Hunter Rank is the earliest (no longer) scam."

"... a scam"

Akira laughs bitterly. Akira's strength depends heavily on Alpha's support. Because, in the sense that it is not your own strength, it is true that fraud is the same.

Katsuragi continued to explain for the time being.

The reason why Higalaka Residential District ruins were identified was the result of netting on ruins that wandered even around Kugamayama City with a strength of about 29 hunter ranks. That way we can narrow it down somewhat without having to tail it. It would cost a lot of money, but given the profits of old world-made information devices and other places where they are sleeping, it's gold.

Akira was so explained by the cuttlefish that she changed her perception that bringing in the artifact had become quite a fuss.

"Well, here's the thing. Strongly speaking, there is certainly a good chance that the appraisers I called have leaked information. But I don't want you to make it my fault. I got a good confirmation from you if I can get them."

"I know. I'm not gonna complain that much either."

The snail snorted a little satisfied. And ask, posing as the wind that can't do anything.

"... So, no buying today?

Akira opened a new rucksack and placed the relic on the table asking for the purchase. Six old world-made information terminals were arranged again. Then the cuttlefish laughed with pleasure so that they could not contain the laughter.

"... is this the fourth day in a row? If it wasn't you who brought it in, I'd really suspect some kind of fraud."

"I'm not saying I can't afford it."

"Don't say that. So, the source of this artifact is the Higalaka Residential District Ruins? Are you still going to find out?

Akira answers without hesitation.

"Neither of you have the right to answer."

The cuttlefish are responding with less laughter.

"You (more) too. Let's check again, shall we? Can I call the connoisseurs here?

"Now. Do as you please."

Katsuragi proceeded with the arrangements while turning up his laughter at Akira's attitude, which also appeared to be throwing (yah) Ri. The artifact was then bought out for 70 million aurum. Thanks to the prior adjustment of the funding, there were no problems with the funding for the purchase.

Cuttlefish don't throw up. Although the person who brought the artifact did not brag that it was Akira, it was dark and widespread that he had a connection with a hunter who could obtain the artifact of that value. Having a passion with a competent hunter is a great advantage for a merchant like a cuttlefish, because it often works commercially advantageous just to smell it.

Akira has not vomited a lie. The entrance to the artifact is the Higalaka Residential District Ruins. Similar artifacts are still likely to be found. It has been discovered and thrown. Even if the cuttlefish get it wrong, Akira doesn't have any trouble at all. Because we're not dating enough to make a mistake right.
