Rebuild World

Akira was taking a break in the dining room at the makeshift base after she took out the doll wreckage to buy it. If you are physically fit or injured, you will not have any problems thanks to taking additional healing pills, but you will not recover to your strength and motivation. Today's hunter operation was decided to be over, and he was blurred remembering his mild carelessness.

Kibayashi appeared there. Sitting on his own in the front of Akira in a good mood, he turns a fun grin. Akira returned a troublesome look to it.

"What can I do for you?

"Yeah, don't make it so bad. He didn't seem to be home yet, so he just showed his face at the end of the interview."

"Listen, I'm telling you, I'll never pay for ammunition."

Akira showed firm consciousness as she gently glanced at her face. Kibayashi smiles bitterly when he sees it.

"'Cause it's okay. I can't afford to spend the rest of my time because my device broke down on the way out and I can't keep track of my actions."

The terminal Akira borrowed was constantly transmitting surrounding information to the temporary base, but communication was interrupted when it entered the top floor of the building. This is due to the functionality on the top floor of that building. A further explosion of a small missile broke the terminal. As a result, the events encountered with Tsubaki have not been transmitted in any way to the temporary base. Of course Akira has no intention of telling Kibayashi about it.

"What you want to hear is easy. The dolls you brought in, they were all cruel. Couldn't you handle some more?

"Didn't"

"Right. Okay, that's all I want to hear."

Akira looks a little unexpected on Kibayashi, who has pulled back a long time.

"Is that good to hear?

"It's fine. I told you. I like you. I don't want to hurt my mood by digging out roots and leaves from you. I've already had a lot of fun. Destroy a bunch of monsters on their first day alone. Today, after taking control of the building by themselves, they bring back a heap of old world-made dolls. I'm telling you, if it's normal, it's abnormal enough at this point."

"Do you know what a normal feeling is? First, it wouldn't be normal at the point where you can use ammunition all you want."

"Including that, though. Sounds like you."

Kibayashi was laughing in a good mood enjoying how Akira was doing with all the deviations.

Akira was then chatting with Kibayashi to ask about this request and the situation around Boulevard.

There is no clear separation between this request. Period is until Akira's Hunter Rank rises to a position of merit. No specific figures are set for that hunter rank either.

But if you've already achieved enough to entertain Kibayashi, isn't it better if it's over? Akira thought so and asked, but Kibayashi answered that she did not know because it was not herself who would decide it, but because the more upper man would judge it comprehensively.

If you make results with a profitable outlook on unlimited ammunition costs for good, even if you are judged by either competence or incompetence, you reach the corresponding Hunter Rank quickly and the request ends quickly. Akira was just a little surprised to think so.

Tiol is eating doll wreckage in a room in an abandoned building on the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. It's not what Akira defeated. It's another building's equipment, and it's the one Tiol knocked down.

The sound of eating a thousand pieces of metal inside the bright white room continues to sound. Tiol's body was largely damaged in the battle, but he was regenerating a little while he continued to eat.

Before that tiol, a sudden appearance of a bump appeared.

"Hello"

Tiol reacts instantly. Taking a jumping position in an instant, he advances to chop Tsubaki's head off and reaches out his right hand in momentum. But the hand only ended up passing through Tsubaki's head, a stereoscopic video.

"You're not being polite"

Tuvaki's 3D footage disappears. Tiol immediately takes the offensive stance and strikes somewhere else, where there is nothing in the air. Tiol could see a bump standing there.

In a world that flows slowly as if time has stopped, Tsubaki is whining (crushing) as she looks at Tiol.

"I also see me on the augmented reality side. Video information on the network is also perceptible. I see."

Tsubaki utters a word without changing his expression.

Don't move.

At the next moment, Tiol's body was fixed in the position he tried to fly. A body as rigid as a stone statue moves forward with inertia and crashes into the floor. And rolled down the floor with all the joints fully secured.

"Control instructions for security management 721 are in effect. Does that mean you extracted the nanomachine from the security organism there? I don't know whose arm it is, but it's a big deal. But the takeover of control has failed. No, as a result of a mutation by an embedded nanomachine for the disguise of an enemy ally identifier? There is also competition due to indiscriminate take-up. Now it's broken as a system."

Tiol is the only one in this room. But Tiol had the appearance of a bump approaching him, along with the additional information that was being recited. Non-authenticated connection ongoing. Connection defense failed. Disconnection failed. Compartment 844 upper management body. Non-managerial regional individuals. Breaking and entering. Battle power difference reckless. No chance of winning. Immediate evacuation recommended. Tiol was aware of those additional information, but it did nothing to improve the situation.

Tsubaki disappears once from Tiol's extended vision. And it reappears in the form of a stereoscopic footage. The sword reaches out to Tiol's head.

"He refused without even listening to me. So ask you (you) instead. It would be difficult for you (you) to have such a volatile system. It's a reward advance. Never mind."

The additional information displayed in Tiol's vision changes. Non-authenticated connection ongoing. Connection defense failed. Disconnection failed. Controller being rebuilt. Reconstructing chain of command. Connection reconstruction. Reconstruction complete.

The stiffness of Tiol's body unravels and falls firmly on the floor. A few seconds later, Tiol stood in front of Tsubaki as he slowly rose.

"Okay, later, please"

Tsubaki laughs slightly. And disappeared. Left over instructional information is left in Tiol's sight. Zoning defense mission commenced. Tiol followed the instructions and moved out.

Watch as the palm eats into the display device with a very harsh look.

"... what happened?

What you see is the information that Tiol was sending to you. The transmission had already stopped altogether. The look on the palm's face, which sees the information sent at the end of it, also included some excitement.

The palm was figuring out how to deal with the inconvenience that might arise if he left Tiol alone. But here we completely change that policy. Intellectual curiosity has completely won the cover-up of inconvenience. And I began to plan along that purpose.

Akira is going through the process of purchasing consumables at Sizka's store. Sizka takes confirmation with a slightly harsh look.

"Akira. This is a fair amount of money, but is it really good?

Akira snorted with a serious look.

"Yes. It's safer to reopen and become a gold-eating bug, and the request ends quickly. That's what I reconsidered. Do it."

Akira had reviewed the contents of the purchase considerably. This order included a large number of small, high-capacity energy packs and high-performance repair material cartridges. They're both pretty expensive. Ammunition had also ordered large quantities of expensive paired (anti-) force field armored Forcefield Armor ammunition, etc. A magazine of small missiles for personal use also ordered large items.

Sizka proceeds with the payment process. Both Akira and Sizka are silently awaiting completion of the process, but this time it never proceeded from the display being processed, unlike the previous one.

"Wasn't it a boulder?

When Akira is somewhat relieved, Kibayashi contacts her.

"It's me. I got a pretty expensive payment process, but I got an order from you. Is there anything wrong with what I ordered? I sent it to your information terminal, so check it out."

"Confirmed. I'm the one who ordered it, and I'm pretty sure it's in there."

Kibayashi returns a pleasant voice.

"You bought it a lot. Pretty sure you're getting confirmation from the checkout department.

"It's what I need to fight safely. If you complain about knowing yourself, decide that I'm the only one with that kind of strength. That'll get my request over with, won't it?

"Hmm? That's not a complaint. Payment goes through."

"Do you go through..."

"There are just horizontal concerns because of the forehead and quantity. I'm sorry, but the items I ordered should be transported to a makeshift base once and stored there. Specific storage locations will be specified later"

"Repair material cartridges are for the repair of fortified clothes, so I'm having trouble staying home."

"Then you can take that off. I'll tell you from up there."

"Wow, okay."

When Akira is showing mild confusion that the request has passed, the laughter of Kibayashi who felt it returns.

"I told you. Your accomplishments are abnormal enough for a normal sensation. This is how it goes. Even if it adds my tweezers. You should recognize your strengths a little bit, too, huh? Bye."

The payment process was completed at the same time as the call with Kibayashi expired.

Akira smiles slightly. My own strength and my own strength with the support of Alpha. The difference is still historical. Although efforts continue to be made to reduce it as much as possible, it is also true that whenever we experience growth, we are reminded of isolated differences.

(... Well, I did my own extermination of a herd of monsters, albeit with unlimited ammunition costs. Kibayashi used to destroy the dolls with Alpha support. External evaluation narrowed the difference slightly. Is that what I'm going to do)

Akira was putting out a color that she said was half self-derisive and self-admiring to the bitterness that was floating. So I notice Sizka looking worried about herself, a little warm.

"Oh, uh, I don't know, it looks okay if you're ordering"

"Akira, you can't do this, can you?

"I know. I ordered plenty to fight safely without having to."

"Yes. It's a good thing we can afford it. But be careful not to be alarmed."

"Yes."

Akira snorted firmly. Sizka smiled back at it.

Sizka is aware. That Akira figured it out and was forced into a situation where she had to. However, I understand that pursuing it will not improve the situation, so I gently withdrew to stab the nail. Like Akira cares about it and reduces her chances of dangerously jumping out of herself.

Akira is biking through the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street again. It's been a few days since the last time. In the meantime, he repaired his fortified clothes and defensive coat and was in good physical condition. They were also carrying spare ammunition into the makeshift base.

Alpha sits in the air as if she were sitting in a transparent sidecar. He wore old world-made combat clothes with various occasionally ill designs, causing long, shiny hair to flourish in the non-existent wind.

"Akira. What are you going to do today?

'What shall I do? You can hit the perilous building again and collect artifacts, but you don't want to fight the building's equipment again. "

Akira looks at Alpha's outfit and comes up with a fu.

'That's old world-made combat clothing, isn't it? It's in the back of the ruins, and I wonder if there's anything like it. "

'I can't say enough that there will never be, but I find it difficult. What would you do if you found him?

'I know you have a size problem or something, but if you're going to be able to wear it, I'll wear it. If it was made in the old world, it would be very high-performance. All the artifacts you find are under a contract to sell off, but once you sell them, add up the difference and buy them back, you'll be fine. I'll ask you there.'

Alpha points to her battle suit and laughs with pleasure.

"This is for women, right? You're wearing it? Well, it's definitely high performance, and I can understand that. '

Akira blows out lightly.

'Why are you supposed to wear that? If you find something like that for a man. "

"What would you do if you only found it for women?

"Sell. And buy stuff for men with that money"

'Given the cost-effectiveness, what if you should wear it yourself no matter what you think if you ignore the design?

Akira shows her lost for a moment. But I immediately revoked it.

'You just have to think about that then. I'm guessing you don't know where the battle clothes are designed?

Answer as Alpha laughs with pleasure.

"I don't know."

Akira thinly realized from the beginning that it was our purpose, but she also thought that there was no surprise that Alpha would know, and she exhaled heavily as she thought it was futile.

"Alpha. Just look out for the building to explore for now."

"Oh, you've been counting on me since the beginning today?

"I don't like being feathers exploring the building out there again hard. I know it's part of the training to find the building to hit, but I need you to take that training sometime. I'm training for internal exploration today."

'Okay. This way.'

"You're early!?

Akira ran the bike according to a travel route with an extended view.

When Akira arrives at her destination, she turns to Alpha with a look that looks suspicious.

"Is this it?

Alpha snorted with a confident smile.

"Right here."

"... right"

Akira returns her sight to the building of destination. There were debris from skyscrapers that collapsed and turned into piles of rubble. Due to the collapse of several buildings in the vicinity, there is a considerable amount of rubble that is spreading as a mountain around.

"... can you find relics from this pile of rubble? Well, maybe we can find it. '

'That's a little different. To be precise, find the entrance to the room buried in this pile of rubble. Although it depends on the structure of the building, some of the important rooms are built as sturdy as vaults in themselves. So much so that the building didn't crush the interior to the point where it collapsed. Go for it. I'll take you to the entrance. It's not inside yet. "

Akira climbs the rubble mountain cleverly on a motorcycle. Then, when descending at the indicated location, the motorcycle is allowed to wear a camouflage sheet and swallow it into the rubble. Then check underfoot with information-gathering equipment. Because the material in the collapsed building has the nature to inhibit investigation by information-gathering equipment, it is usually very difficult, if not impossible, to find an internal cavity. But it was easy for Alpha.

As Akira continued to retreat (dust) the heavy debris underfoot several times with the physical ability of the fortified clothes, the walls and doors of the passage inside the building appeared ahead of her sight. Go down to the side of the door and force the door open to peek inside the room. When you light the dark interior, you can see a variety of equipment rolling over the bottom of the room, the part that was originally a wall. Akira carefully entered the room.

The room is quite large. Due to the horizontal state (for), the room is as large as it is and the distance to the bottom. Akira scaffolds the desks, equipment, etc. that were fixed to the floor and goes down to the bottom one by one.

"I don't know, don't be confused when the direction in the room is unusual"

Alpha smiles joyfully as she floats in the dark.

"Oh, I thought Akira was used to running down and down the side of the building."

Akira laughs when she remembers her experiences.

It's that easy to get used to.

'Then you have to get used to it. Watch your step. "

The next moment, the desk Akira was scaffolding shakes. And it peels off the floor and falls to the bottom. Akira flies hard to another desk and grabs the edge of it.

'... tell me a little bit sooner'

"You're exploring it on your own now, aren't you?

'... yes, I do.... I get it.'

Akira smiled joyfully and stopped complaining when she saw the alpha and jumped to another scaffold.

Akira, who arrived at the bottom gradually, sparkled her eyes. The bottom is loaded with all the equipment in the room. They are all relics of the old world. Some items are slightly damaged, but many are sturdy. It gradually packs items that are likely to come with high prices into the rucksack.

Akira, full of rucksacks, looks up over her head. It's a long way to the light outside.

'... of course, but I have to go back. I should have prepared some rope. "

"I wish I'd gone back to get it once."

"So tell me a little sooner"

"You're exploring it on your own now, aren't you?

To Alpha laughing fun, Akira returned a subtle bitter smile.

Akira, who ran down the building with fortified clothes and up the building with a motorcycle, had gotten used to it in a way. I thought I'd unconsciously figure it out, to the extent that the means of using the rope falls out of my head.

Akira struggled and managed to get back outside. I paid plenty of money for not coming up with a few things: stabbing and climbing onto the floor with a blade in both hands, or throwing away and passing some of them crying from the rucksack that was too stuffed to go through the entrance or exit.

Akira then returned to the makeshift base to bring the returned artifact to the shopping post, where she quickly went to buy a rope.

About two months have passed since Akira started her Hunter Rank Adjustment Request, but the request was still ongoing. Settlement continued to pass even as the quantity and quality of consumables to be purchased continued to increase.

It will be over in about a month at the latest. That's what I was thinking. Akira has zero (spilled) stupidity in Sizka's store. Elena and the others were smiling lightly when they heard it.

Akira has zero (spill) stupidity because Elena and the others encouraged her to do so, one way or another. To deepen friendship by making its contents a common topic and, if possible, giving advice.

But it was unexpected to Elena and the others that the content of that stupidity was likely to be furious if Hunter, who was working hard day and night to (to) increase Hunter Rank, thought it had risen to a sufficient rank after reluctantly accepting the Hunter Rank Adjustment Request, but the request was not yet finished.

Sarah turns to Akira with a slightly emotional look.

"Still, Hunter Rank Adjustment Request? This is the first time I've seen someone actually come for a favor, although I've heard of them. Although no wonder Akira has the strength, Akira is amazing."

Praised in a good way. Akira understood it but felt a slight hindsight. Because Sarah understands that Akira's strength, perhaps bottomed up with Alpha's support, is something she can't say for herself. Because of this, the expression on his face was close to a bitter laugh that was difficult to say that he was happy.

"... thank you. Sit down. But depending on what you're thinking, it can also mean forcing hunters to operate at difficulty based on excessively high estimated strengths."

Elena realizes Akira's attitude and changes the direction of the story.

"It's good to stay discreet without thinking about it. If I came up with a request to increase my rank, I'd go up and make a weird mistake, but Akira seems different. It's a big deal. I'll have to take an apprenticeship, too."

Akira showed a slight illumination of praise from Elena. When Sarah learned something slightly unpleasant about the difference in attitude from her time, she turned behind Akira as she gently obstinated and misdemonized the emotion against herself. And he caresses Akira's head while he snuggles.

"Sa, Sarah!?

"I'll have a proper apprenticeship, too. I don't think the Hunter Rank Adjustment Request is coming to me. You don't like being too modest, do you?

"Well, that's not what I meant..."

"I know. It's the stupidity of a narrow-minded woman. But there are quite a few of them, so be careful."

"Yes, sir"

I'm confused, but I don't hate it. The opposite is true of Ning. Sarah laughed a little happy with Akira's reaction. Sizka and Elena had zeroed in laughter when they saw Sarah, but Sarah enjoyed Akira's reaction by giving up a little to misdemonize her mild embarrassment (sesame seeds).

After changing the subject for a while, Akira seemed a little strange when she heard from Elena.

"A human-shaped monster...... is it?

"Yes, there's been more talk of a recent attack on a man-made monster at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. The location is around that rear line."

"Uh, is that it? The city deals with monsters like hunters who have been saddled with robbers..."

"You don't get that a little bit, do you? Maybe it is, maybe it's not. Maybe there's a runaway automatic doll wandering around. Something may be moving the reinforcing clothes of the dead hunter, as it did in the Serantarville. I don't know what the details are. I've only drawn attention from the city side."

"That means rob it, monster it, or at least something human is attacking the hunters in the vicinity"

"That's the thing. At least it's not obviously a monster. Take care of Akira, too. When they look like people, even enemies unconsciously change their first moves."

Even if the enemy acts on the premise of imminent annihilation if it is a monster, if the enemy is a person, decisions such as restraint and control arise. Sometimes that judgment time can lead to a fatal deterioration of the situation.

"Yes, I'll be careful"

When Akira answered that firmly, Elena also laughed back satisfactorily.

In the store after Akira returns, Sarah questions a little strangely.

"Hey Elena. Does Akira hate being highly valued for her abilities?

"Perhaps you are. In retrospect, he had a similar attitude in the basement."

"Speaking of which, I was. Why do you think that is?

"I don't know that. Maybe there was a lot going on with Akira, too.... I don't know what happened, but maybe it wasn't a good experience. Sarah. I know you do, but don't ask me poorly, okay?

"I know.... It's hard."

If you think you risked your life and helped me with profitability externalities, you try to cut that edge off lightly. Now I manage to speak normally again. Light or heavy, is that life or belief? Sarah doesn't know anything about it.

I'm not willing to let go of my left edge. Sarah exhaled softly thinking of her difficult friend.
