Rebuild World

Sizka is chatting with Elena and the others at the store. For the second time in this short time, the raid on the city by monsters sprouting from the ruins of Kuzhara Street has been the subject of a lot of talk in the city. Elena and the others were also involved in the extermination of large monsters, and their hard stories were also a source of chatter. Among the topics was one that had clouded the look on the faces of the Sizkas. It's Akira's news.

Akira was probably in the ruins on the day of the raid. And since that day Akira has never shown her face to the store.

If you're safe, it's time to visit the store for ammo refills. If you're safe, there's no wonder you stumble across a big monster on the way down at the ruins. Sizka and the others tried to come up with a topic in the chat where they could check on each other for Akira's safety, but they didn't get the response they expected from each other.

He who runs hunters and deals with them. Both commercial patterns, the resistance of acquaintances to death becomes higher. But I still remember the sentiments. I understand that death and unknown information are limitless and equivalent operations. There is also a good chance that it will be a concern. Still, the look on Sizka's face was unfloating.

That's where Akira appears. Sizka and the others welcomed Akira with a slightly brighter smile than usual.

Akira told Shizka and the others about light recent developments such as the end of the Hunter Rank Adjustment request.

"So, well, there was something about it, and the gear was wasted again. So I'd like you to consult with me again about procuring gear, a set of gear, a car, etc. I can have it all (about), can you please?

"Of course. So, what's the budget for this one?

"For about a billion aurums, please. I can give you some more for instant money, but I'd like to think of that as a standard first. If you're going to be bothered badly, I'm going to buy the same thing as before for now and add a lot more later."

Sizka breaks a little worryingly smile for customer service to Akira's attitude, which she said softly to the lower budget limit Akira offered.

"Seems like we've made a lot of money again, but were you sure you were okay? I heard that hunter-rank adjustment requests are like rewards in themselves, and that rewards tend to be cheaper in monetary terms, but that's a billion aurums, right? Akira. You couldn't do it again?

Sizka had reinforced her tone a little in order to increase the likelihood that she would return safely (in order to) embarrass herself if she did not have to. If you want to misdemonize (sesame seeds) after realizing that you can't do it here, you have to stab the nail (knife) even harder. Yes, I look at Akira as if she cares a little bit to pursue, anticipating her reaction first.

But Akira's reaction was very different from Sizka's expectations. Akira exhales deeply and exhales tirelessly.

"... it was tough. It was really hard......"

In an attitude that might also be misdemonized (sesame seeds), and very different from Akira's previous appearance, Sizka had recognised the correctness of her earlier own account by perceiving how much Akira had experienced. Then, judging from the appearance, I decided that no words or novels were necessary, and switched to those who energized the response and smiled gently (cheeks).

"Sounds like it's been really hard. But then, I'm really glad you're back. Are you okay with injuries or physical fitness? If you've come to show me your face by pushing tiredness, I've had enough. Go back and get some rest. If you're wondering about equipment, you can talk in the back of the store. You want to rest over there?

"Oh, then I'll be fine. I've been well treated, so I'm in good health."

"Yes. Good for you. Keep your eyes open so you don't have to."

"Yes. I'll be careful.... I've been careful."

Akira laughed and answered that, then she was gently drooled. I'm a little surprised how the sizkas responded to that much, and I can feel a little funny and flaunt my face even though I think it's bad. And when we saw each other's faces, we laughed bitterly and took care of their faces.

When Sizka switched her mind, she decided to put aside a little gushing emotion to see the key elements involved in the procurement of equipment in order to get seriously honest with Akira's consultation.

"So how many hunter ranks did Akira get?

"42, sir."

Sizka smiles (cheeks) that seem gentle and somewhat lonely.

"... you're up a lot again. Akira, I'll tell you first. If the Hunter Rank has gone up that far, it's one hand to go to another store."

Akira is puzzled by unexpected content. And show mixed confusion of tension.

"Uh, what does that mean?

"As of the time of the SSB compound gun, the price range and so on are already well out of my store merchandise. So I'm not sure I can recommend the right equipment. Of course. We're going to talk about it as much as we can, right? But there are limits. Look, you sent a lot of gun data before, right? If I confess, that amount means I can't choose the right equipment for Akira either. It's basically a product that I don't keep in the store, so it takes me a while to pick it up. So it might be better for Akira to go to a store where more luxury goods are the main product, and talk about equipment more accurately."

Sizka recommends it in good faith, but Akira clouded her face slightly anxiously.

"Um, is it annoying to Mr. Sizka when it's all backordered?

"No. Rather the other way around. If the store's profits come first as a manager, you should order them from my store."

Relax the tension as Akira relieved.

"Well, unless I'm a nuisance, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need you to keep picking me up."

"... Is Akira good with that?

"Yes."

Akira was clearly nodding. If they say it's annoying, I have no choice but to change the store, but if it's not, there's no reason at all to change the store to Akira.

Sizka uncommonly blushed a little and shifted her gaze a little from Akira in embarrassment. For liking my shop so much, I had something to put up in Sizka too.

"Does this make three hunters with over 40 ranks customers? My shop has become quite splendid."

Sizka shifts her gaze to Elena and the others. When Akira was caught and looked at you, Elena and Sarah had a smile that looked somewhat lonely.

"Me and Sarah are both 41. Under one of Akira."

"Have you been passed over? Well, I thought it was in there, but it was fast."

While Akira was taking on the Hunter Rank Adjustment request, Elena and the others were pretty vigorously putting their energy into hunter operations. Much had been achieved by receiving relatively high-difficulty requests as a priority. A request for a survey of the back of the Kuzsuhara Street site is part of this. It provided high quality maps in the ruins, found many artifacts, and had made quite a fight even in the recent raid noise. He has hunted many large monsters ever since.

The reason Elena and the others were so vigorous included something like confrontation with Akira. To put it badly, it looks good as a leading man. But the main reason was that I wanted to be a senior who could count on me for a while.

And there was pride in working hard to make a lot of achievements until we were ourselves. Hunter Rank 41 was a number worth that much to Elena and the others.

But Akira pulled that out lightly. Elena and the others were certainly delighted with Akira's growth, but there were other complicated thoughts in her chest at the same time.

"Can we call him Senior Akira from now on?

Elena jokes about misdemonizing her chest and smiles (cheeks) at Akira like a prank, then shows how Akira is having a lot of trouble reacting. I would hate it if I humbled myself and others that I haven't yet, but I can't even think of an alternative word. It appeared on my face with or without it.

Elena and Sarah saw how Akira was and felt unnecessary restraint coming out of them. And when we saw each other's faces and laughed lightly, we got back on track as usual.

"Well, me and Elena are a lot longer than Akira if it's just our hunter history, so we're still going to have seniors over there in terms of knowledge."

"Oh, isn't that hard for Sarah?

"Hey, what are you talking about? Akira, that's not true, is it?

When Sarah smiles a little harder and stares at Akira, she answers with Akira still flowing into the easy to answer content.

"Ah, yes. Of course (of course). I know I'm going to ask you a lot more, but please."

"Hehe. Thanks."

Sarah laughs as usual. Akira also gradually regained her composure.

Thereafter, the topic of equipment procurement became tentative. The budget of the lower limit of 1 billion aurum offered by Akira is also a lot of money for Elena and the others. We were all discussing whether we should allocate more budget to our gear, as well as Elena and the others to procure gear.

So Sarah asks Akira a simple question.

"I know you've lost all your gear at once and have a higher desire for higher-performance gear, but aren't you going to spend your rewards on anything else? Doesn't mean you're alive to fight, does it?

Sarah thought Akira was putting almost all of the compensation requested into this budget. But it's not. This time the budget was based on the sale of the war history and the cost of the artifacts sold during the request.

Akira's reward for negotiating with Kibayashi is the following: Hunter Rank up to 42. The right to purchase ammunition, etc. at a discount equal to Rank 50. And the Kibayashi connections, or kugamayama cities and hunter offices, are used to procure powerful equipment.

Akira's Hunter Rank Adjustment Request was a pre-request negotiation with Kibayashi that included contract details where compensation would jump in the event of accidental events. And the raiding noise of the big monsters fully met that condition. Akira put almost all of the inflated rewards into the procurement as contracted.

Many of the city's defense and special forces gear is restricted for sale to general hunters. It is also very difficult to buy equipment like those sold on the front lines in Kugamayama cities. And that's why it's so high-performance.

We absolutely need those high-performance gear to accomplish Alpha's request. Akira asked Kibayashi to obtain those equipment. Kibayashi assumed that if he gave those gear to Akira, something even more enjoyable would happen, and took on the favor in a good mood.

The more powerful the equipment, the more various permits and authorities are required, and the longer the negotiation time for this, and if you do poorly, you will wait for months or more than six months. Kibayashi pressed once again to see if it was still good. Akira accepted it.

There is a huge discrepancy between Akira and Sarah's assumptions, but the perception that almost all of the rewards are put into the gear bill is the same. So Akira didn't notice the difference either, and she roared lightly.

"That being said, you can't think of any particular use for this, can you? I don't think I'm going to move because the house I rent is big enough, and the bathroom is huge, and I don't want expensive clothes, and... if I insist, I'm starting to think that the meal could be a little more delicious (good), and you've been paying a little more for the meal lately. Still, it's slight compared to the cost of equipment."

"Is Akira that way? Well, if it's Akira's money, it doesn't seem to be a problem at all, unless it's three meals a day at a fancy store in the upper level of Kugamaville."

"Oh, I ate there recently. It was delicious."

Akira speaks a little enthusiastically about the content of the dish in an awkward (often) book. The details of the appetizing flavor were not conveyed at all, but only enough that Akira found the food to be very tasty (hey).

"Then why don't we all go eat together next time?

Elena felt light-hearted, but I also asked her out, wondering how Akira would be if she spoke so enthusiastically. But Akira clouded her expression.

"Uh, that's a little..."

"Oh, no?

"No, that, because the price is the price. The only reason I went there recently was because there was a request for a reward negotiating seat, and it was like getting a luxury (oh) as part of the reward. So, going there at your own expense is very hesitant... well, that's the thing. It's an invitation to the corner. Excuse me."

Akira lowers her head slightly as she seems sorry. He laughs and adds after he learns to be relieved (mostly) of the reason Elena was turned down.

"Then it's this way that I invited you, and I'll take care of Akira."

Sizka laughs and pinches her mouth.

"Elena. I'm pretty tough when it's a store around there, too."

Then let's just say Sarah's a luxury for Sizka.

"Me? Fair enough, but add or subtract?

As Akira put aside and the story progressed, that Akira was putting a grip on her inner face. There was a sharp clash between the sentiment that I was sorry for the boulder to pay for that meal and the desire to be able to go to that store again if I received the luxury.

Sizka and the others are laughing with pleasure at how Akira is doing. I was laughing, even if that was an illusion, remembering something like a slight reduction in distance from Akira, who was progressing with fierce momentum to strip themselves of that appearance that seemed a little childish, which was very unlikely to be the hunter of Hunter Rank 42.

Yanagi Sawa is talking to the counterparty over the information terminal.

"... Yep.... Yes. I was wondering if the performance of that fuselage would be perfect. I also strongly urge the management of Kugamayama cities to deploy from me. It's just that the result is a single-jet operating track record, so you're sure you're still a little weak on the reasons to encourage deployment as the next mainstay of the defense force. Therefore, we will first encourage the deployment of Kuzhhara Street ruins to temporary bases and rear lines of communication, and add our track record in troop operations there, and then connect them to the deployment to the defense forces. Because if you're a makeshift base, you have a certain discretion under my authority.... Yes. I was wondering if you could count on it. Therefore, once we have decided to deploy to the defense forces, we would appreciate your help in lending the example as promised.... Yep. Of course (of course).... Yes. Excuse me."

Yanagi Sawa hangs up the call. And I turned off the smile for the dealer and exhaled to make him feel mildly tired.

"They're utterly greedy. Smells like trouble."

A man from a subordinate who waited for the story to end looks at Yanagi Sawa with a slightly surprising look on his face that zeroes (spills) stupidity.

"Is it difficult for even the chief to negotiate a loan?"

"Sort of. In any case, the size of the company is different. It can't be the same as the others there."

"... It's always the case that the chief does weird things, but sometimes (occasionally) I wonder if you could give me an overview?

"Is that it? Didn't I tell you?

"I heard about the contents of the rental and the cumbersome nature of the process, but I don't remember hearing about what you're going to borrow for in the first place, if that's why"

Yanagisawa teaches what to do, but what to do it for is often silent. The same was true of this loan negotiation, both when he led the special forces towards the back of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street and when he took Nelia to the upper floor of the Serantar building.

Yanagi Sawa wraps his men's questions around smoke (kem) with his usual smile.

"Well, that's it. For the well-being of unspecified human beings, for the realization of salvation, and for its continuation. Preparation for the means for the means for the means for the means. That's the place."

I'm not going to answer you seriously. The intention was correctly conveyed.

"... Really? Well, the chief does the dark behind things on his own, but don't throw us away and pawn us, okay?

"That's cruel. You don't remember ever doing that, do you?

Yanagisawa was showing a playful attitude that it was out-of-heart. My men struck that topic with it. My colleagues are there when they disappear as a result of an attempt to explore the specific purpose of Yanagi Sawa. I wasn't willing to join you there.

"Then it's a report. This is an example of a man-made monster that the chief told me was looking into, but as the chief's concern was, it wasn't a raid on a man-made monster, and there was quite a mix of man-made tasks that pretended to be so."

"I guess. Now that the back has been removed, will the contents of the alert be changed? Turn all the Foundationist entanglements on me. I'll deal with it over here."

"That's what I'm concerned about. Reports are up. Look at this."

The contents of the report appear in the sight of the Yanagi Sawa and the others. The 3D map of the site shows the location, number of people, motives, etc. for each raid. Yanagi Sawa, who read the motive for that one, erased his smile from his expression.

"... redo all the backing to see if there's anything else like it. All of them, including the raiders sold to the camp in other cities. You may remove the interrogation restrictions under my authority. If you want to hide it, let me crack your mouth carefully. Treat future raids the same way. Do it right away."

Copy that, sir.

My men move agile to Yanagisawa's attitude and leave the room intact. Yanagi Sawa has a sharp gaze at the description of the motive.

A deal was taken from someone named the keeper of the ruins. That's what it said there.

The palm was still opening a mobile clinic at the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street today. Tiol's remotely operated terminal is tied in the clinic bed under the guise of a patient.

The palm seems free to stretch (yawn) and then transfer the gaze to its remote operating terminal. I'm hoping to hear from Tiol, but so far there's been no reaction. I tried to move the location of the mobile clinic to near the back of the ruins, thinking it was a matter of distance received, but the results were the same.

I have stopped examining the remotely operated terminals in order to dissect them poorly and break down the remotely operated function, avoiding them from contacting me because of it. But curbing curiosity was also getting harder.

"... I guess it's time to put a cut off. Tiol, you're not just paying for the bed, are you?

"Right."

The doll who got the pilot suddenly answered that. After the palm is surprised and tries to open his mouth, stopping it like he noticed something, he changes its expression to something suspicious.

"Tiol, you... aren't you? Which one?"

You know what I mean?

I'm still a doctor.

Laughs after the doll shows a mild surprise. I'm saying something obviously appropriate, but it doesn't change the fact that I spotted it lightly when it was someone else. It's a laugh at that assessment.

"Would you like to make a deal?

"I don't care if you suddenly say that. Tiol, what happened to you?

"He's inactive."

"Dead, is that a good interpretation? He's still my patient for once."

"It depends on the definition of death. But even by your standards, I think you can handle death. I have no stepchildren or obligation to keep him active, and you (you) have no skill or means to do so. Seek his activation in the rewards of the deal?

"I avoid arguing here about whether I really don't have that skill, but, well, even for me, I don't have the stepchildren or the obligation to treat that generously to anyone who seems unlikely to want to pay for the treatment after throwing away an opportunity for a check-up from me. So, who are you? I'm very interested in the deal, but if it wasn't for my treatment of a sudden illness, I wouldn't be dealing with someone I don't even know right? Yeah, I'm a palm. Like I said, I'm a doctor."

"My name is Tsubaki. We manage the area in charge. Yeah, it's your name at the time of the deal, but you (you) can be that pseudonym. As long as we can identify the individual, we won't interfere with the transaction."

The expression of the palm becomes slightly stiff. The doll was smiling lovingly with Tiol's face, and clearly with someone else's expression.
