Rebuild World

Carol has a very harsh look at home.

In addition to his own information network, Carol also has a relationship with Viola, and is more familiar with the circumstances behind the Kugamayama city than any of the informants there. I can also get some pretty in-depth information. Still, I don't get very secret information about old area connectors belonging to downhill Heavy Industries escaping, etc.

But there are limits to the cover-up, even more so than the search is actually being carried out. Arrangements for searchers going out into the wilderness, a procurement deal for their supplies, and the flow of gold that comes from them. unrelated search requests, increased patrol requests, and changes in patrol routes. trivial (minor) events that seemingly have nothing to do with them. From there, I scratched (or gathered) information that I would not have noticed if it were only slightly incensed, and got the assumption that a fairly large organization was going through a lot of work to find an old realm connector.

Looking at the collected data, Carol holds her head without seeping (into) her frightened expression.

"… creepy (first)"

The hope that I was thinking too pessimistically had been filled with the imagination of the worst. In order not to make it worse, Carol decided to start preparing herself as much as she could, even if she was greatly laughed at as worried about herself in the future.

Arrangements for Akira's new set of equipment were soon concluded. Until a short while ago, Akira's new equipment was sometimes high performance deviations from the demand standards of Kugamayama cities, and it was necessary to wait for quite a few days due to the need to transport from other cities. But now, thanks to the city's call for high-ranking hunters from elsewhere, high-performance products for them had also been transported to the city beforehand, and a set of them were ready to be delivered to Sizka stores.

Akira wears new gear at Sizka's warehouse. Both guns and fortified clothing are basically the same product as before. However, it was fitted with high-performance expansion parts.

This led to an exceptional improvement in physical ability, which is the basic performance of the fortified garment. The range and accuracy of the interlocking information-gathering instruments also improved considerably.

Additionally, the administration function of the drug was added. Pre-loading fortified clothing with healing drugs and accelerators during combat has allowed for more advanced and flexible combat. It should also be noted that in the future, recovery drugs will also be purchased at Sizka's store.

He also got a protective coat, which is an option for fortified clothing. In addition to the powerful force field armor Force Field Armor, it also features advanced camouflage features with purchase restrictions due to Hunter Rank.

Akira had activated the coat's camo function before mirroring herself, laughing with surprise at the sight of only her face floating in the universe.

Be careful while Sizka smiles.

"Of course, it's meant to hide from monsters. You can't abuse me, can you?

"I know."

To Akira, who answered honestly, Sizka smiled a little pranky.

"That's what they all say. But a lot of demons give it away. It's a great feature for peeping."

Akira's attitude toward Sizka is unusual and answers slightly dissatisfied.

"I won't."

Sizka smiled back bitterly for a little fun. There Alpha laughs and continues.

If it's just a peek, Akira should just look at me.

"Right."

Alpha makes a slightly unexpected face.

"Oh, you admit it."

'I don't deny it. Thanks to someone else, I'm used to it.'

Akira said so and tried to flush it gently. But Alpha laughs with pleasure and continues the conversation.

I knew I had to be touched. But it's okay. With its enhanced garment sensory feedback feature, you'll feel no different than your bare hands over the enhanced garment. That's why they touch you, right?

Many products have very advanced tactile feedback that conveys the same feel as life to the wearer so that the hard-to-handle weapon can be handled with precision even over thick gloves.

Akira's fortified clothing also has pretty high performance features. In addition, thanks to the improved functioning of Alpha, the accuracy of its physical senses has reached a range that is no different from that of life. In other words, Akira is now touched by Alpha, even though it is simulated until the end.

Close your chest to Akira as Alpha smiles. Akira slightly hardened her expression to avoid reacting to it. Alpha laughed with satisfaction at the reaction of Akira.

Sizka also noticed Akira's slight reaction. But I don't know about the existence of Alpha, so I give it another interpretation and look a little sorry.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Did you tease me too much?

Akira shakes her head to the side in a panic.

"No, you don't. That's not why..."

Sizka goes to Akira's side (by her side) and hugs Akira as she tries to keep making excuses. He gently strokes Akira's head with his right hand while turning his left hand to the back of Akira's head and gently pressing it against his chest.

"I don't want to upset my regular customers as a store owner either. I'm sorry. Please fix your mood."

"So, uh, no..."

Akira grew grown up flushed as-is. Though it certainly isn't, I can't talk about Alpha. And I couldn't think of another excuse in this state.

I laugh when Alpha sees how that Akira is doing.

'I knew you had to be touched. But you can't let me touch Akira's face right now, can you? Tough.'

"Shut up."

Akira managed to answer that even though it lit up.

I don't know what Akira and Alpha are doing to Sizka. However, Akira was in a good mood and smiled (cheeks) as she was relieved when she saw that she was not in a bad mood.

After confirming the new equipment at the store's warehouse, Akira returned to the counter once with Sizka. So give Sizka the hunter's card and finish the equipment handover process.

Sizka makes the store terminal read Akira's Hunter ID. And when he finished a series of post-processing, including accounting procedures, he returned the Hunter's Certificate to Akira. And I laugh a little bitterly, but I laugh fun.

"It was a deal that greatly updated the store's sales records. I don't know what to say about this, but it's not healthy management to rely too much on some customers to sell your store."

Akira also smiles lightly and returns it.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but please continue to do so in the future."

"No, this way. Please continue to use our cartridge freak."

Sizka replied with a little bit of a big smile, lovingly laughing at someone who was a friend and an important customer.

Sizka asks lightly during the ensuing chat.

"Speaking of which, what's Akira's next appointment? You must have finished your big distribution job, right? I rushed through the gear a long time ago, but did you put in any next jobs yet?

"No, I haven't decided at all. I'm going to slow down for a while."

It is unclear how long we should wait, but as long as we wait, the armaments of the front-line regions are scheduled to arrive. Until then, Akira was going to spend her time training with Alpha as a spindle.

"Yes, I think that's good too. But it's about Akira, so I guess I'll be back in hunter operation soon. We need to get some rest, okay? Don't let the period you were in the hospital into the period you were off."

I laugh bitterly thinking Akira is not trusted.

"It's okay. I'm going to slow it down properly. Even if you're going hunter, do a little light collecting so you don't get blunt on long holidays."

"Well, sure, if you're equipped for Akira now, you won't struggle with the ruins around here. It's okay if we don't go east or get in the back of the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street."

Akira answers confidently.

"That's right. Of course (of course) I'm not going to that place. I refuse even when that kind of request comes. It's okay."

"Sometimes that confidence turns to alarm and saves lives. Let's not just get caught off guard when we go hunter business."

"Yes."

When I heard Akira's clear reply, Sizka laughed satisfactorily, too.

Akira returned from Sizka's shop to her home. When you stop the bike in the garage, unload it from the carrier pulled by the bike.

The carrier is a foldable product that has been used before and is originally towed in a vehicle. In addition, loads of ammunition, etc. bought with the new equipment were loaded, so the weight was considerable. However, the bike did not take the weight of the carrier as an object at an output that slightly exceeded the coarse vehicle.

Akira was once again satisfied with the performance of the new bike.

"I want a car too, but should I have this bike for the time being? If I could, the next car would be the one that sells around the city of Zegelt, just like a motorcycle."

Akira's previous vehicles continued to wreck a great deal. Many did not even retain the original form. But new motorcycles survive all that fighting. I didn't even have to put it out for repair, I just had to replace the energy tank.

Akira laughed lightly as she looked at the motorcycle, expecting to be a long relationship in the future.

Tell Alpha laughing as usual.

'I don't think Akira needs that kind of high-performance vehicle anymore. When that equipment arrives, Akira will finish my request. At that time, motorcycles are more suitable for travel than larger vehicles, so I'd rather have a more high-performance motorcycle. "

Akira, who is told of the important things, leaves only a few moments before revealing her surprise.

"You attack the ruins of Alpha's request, don't you?

"That's the thing."

"... well. gradually."

Akira sees Alpha with a serious face.

"Did I make you wait much longer?

Alpha laughs and answers.

"No, much earlier than I expected."

"Right."

When I heard Alpha's reply, Akira laughed a little too.

Request taken from Alpha. Extremely challenging ruin attack. Akira has been preparing under it since the day she first met Alpha. Akira gradually (as if) today saw the end of a long and steep journey necessary to accomplish the request and the end of a difficult road that seemed to continue until the end of the horizon and the end of the earth.

Akira looks at Alpha with an emotional face. Alpha also laughed and stared back firmly. After temporarily pinching an eloquent silence there, Alpha smiles lightly and bitterly.

"Well, the problem is, I have no idea when that equipment will arrive."

Akira smiles lightly too.

"It was. I wonder when."

"If it's going to take too long, you might want to explore the means to pick it up on your own rather than waiting to be transported."

"Right.... No, it sure is."

A swarm of giant nest (nested) class giant bugs (Giant Bugs) like the island. A monster in the sky so huge that it covers the sky. To get to near the front line to pick up equipment that is being transported late, it is necessary to go through the areas engaged with them. There is no more coverage for inter-city transport vehicles this time than going on its own. Akira was distorting her face when she remembered the fighting on the road.

'Well, the neighborhood depends on what happens in the future. We'll have to wait. "

"Oh, right. Yeah."

Alpha laughs and pushes caution.

"You can't just sit back and wait. Train well and work out properly. '

Akira also answers with a firm temper.

"I know."

Training can be handled with readiness and temper. But monsters can't do anything about it. Akira put her temper back into what she could manage in her charge.

That's when Akira received a call request. It was from Carol.

Akira is biking through the wilderness. The destination is the ruins of Mihazono Street. But the purpose was not to see the ruins, but to meet Carol, who said he was nearby.

The thing I heard about Carol in the garage at home was about a request from Carol to Akira. Akira initially thought it was an invitation to take some kind of request with her, and said she planned to relax for the time being. But Carol replied that it would be a convenient request, and said she would like to meet and talk about the details once.

I want you to come see Akira if you can, but if you can't, I'll go see her from here. That's what Carol told me. Akira decided to go see herself after getting a little lost. I've been wondering about Carol's request, but even though I plan to relax temporarily, I thought it would be better if I had all the new gear in the corner (because of it) and stayed at home.

Run hard and fast in the wilderness with the function of a motorcycle that cannot be said to be suitable for driving. He sometimes chooses the universe for scaffolding and walks without even choosing scaffolding on a motorcycle that can drive in the air. The condition had surprised the hunters who were passing by by by chance.

When I had previously made my way to the ruins of Mihazono Street, it took quite a while because I had bypassed (ragged) places that were difficult to access. But now it's moving almost in a straight line towards the ruins. That had led to a significant reduction in time.

Akira laughs joyfully as she sees the view flowing at high speeds through both ends of her sight.

'I'll be there in a minute with this! Glad you bought this bike after all!

Stick the nail (giggle) as Alpha smiles bitterly at Akira, who also looks a little dry.

"The faster we get, the harder it gets to drive, and the more damage we do when we have an accident. Be very careful. '

"I know."

The bike is under Alpha's control, but Akira is driving it herself. However, thanks to the high-performance control device, Akira's still immature driving skills increased the speed as much as possible.

By standards around the city of Kugamayama, he wraps himself in high-performance gear out of place and pushes the monsters that were in the direction of his progress as he grinds them with excessively powerful bullets. The bulimic crocodile that I stumble upon along the way is also lightly crushed.

The bulimic crocodile was quite large and produced several firearms on his body. In addition, the entire body was protected by a tough metal scale. As long as you grow up and roam the transport route, it's no wonder you're designated as the prize neck. But when Akira fired the LEO compound gun, it was filled with holes in scales (candles) that covered her whole body with countless bullets, crushing its interior equally, both in the mechanical and biological parts, and instantly she was out of breath.

Akira thinks a little, surprised by the power of the new gun. And I'll ask you once.

"Alpha. That's a pretty strong one, isn't it?

Strong ones, according to the standards of. But Akira before would have had a hard time dying to defeat him. In that sense, he's a pretty strong one. '

"Right."

Akira thinks about it again before continuing.

'Even with my gear right now, I think it's pretty high performance already. Still impossible to attack the ruins of Alpha's request?

'That's a tough question. At least it's safer to wait for the front-line gear to arrive.'

"... Is it that difficult?"

When Akira has a slightly more difficult face, Alpha laughs and puts in a supplement.

'I know I've said this before, but there are places in that ruin where you have to go without my support. That's why I want to keep my gear as good as I can. It's not advisable to start a ruin attack because you can't wait to improve the quality of your gear just by waiting. If you're in danger, you can turn back. What a sweet idea. You'll just die.'

So Alpha smiles a little invincibly.

"Well, if you look out for survival from the beginning, the difficulty of the attack will drop dramatically. Maybe Akira can attack the ruins now. Can you do it ready to die?

Before Akira says anything, Alpha laughs and tells the story.

'Don't worry. I'm not going to tell Akira that I died for her. So let's wait until the next gear arrives. "

'Right. Okay.'

If that's what Alpha says, that's fine. Akira decided so and stopped thinking any further.

Large campers with wilderness specifications stopped at Carol's rendezvous point. Large as a transport vehicle for man-made weapons, the outside is covered with armor. The roof was also equipped with multiple machine guns.

When Akira is a little surprised by the size of that car, Carol comes out and invites Akira inside. Went straight through to the living room in the car. The ceiling is so high that I don't think it's in the car, and the interior is tighter than the inn there.

As Akira sat and waited on the large couch, Carol came back with a drink. Sit in front of Akira and laugh lovingly.

"You came all the way out here, which means you're thinking positively about my request, right?

"Not as much as I'd like to hear more about the story. I think about whether or not to take it after hearing the details. So, what's the point of asking for money to come in, even if you're just relaxing? If it's not from Carol, don't get lost in deciding it's a fraud."

When Akira said that and made her smile a little intentionally, Carol laughed with joy.

"I'm glad you believed me."

"... well enough to listen. If Viola's involved in that story, I'm going home."

Carol smiles lightly for fun.

"Is that the one who doesn't vomit? Even though Yo (more) doesn't just throw up (lies). If you can scrutinize the details of the deal, you're a very safe and very beneficial person.

"Then it's a dangerous one for me."

When Akira answers that lightly, Carol makes the bitterness stronger.

"Don't worry, Viola has nothing to do with this request. It doesn't include anyone else's intentions in the first place. It's a request from me."

"That's good. So, what's the request?

When Akira returns to the conversation, Carol continues the conversation with a serious face.

"Ask Akira to escort me."

Akira looked a little unexpected. Carol started telling the details of the request with seriousness.

The duration of the escort is to be determined. Basically, being on Carol's side (by his side) at 46: 00. But in the meantime, you don't have to be on constant alert around you, if you're in a position to cover you immediately if anything happens. I have no intention of pressing the strain on Akira because she is an escort, and in battle, Carol also fights as best she can. If Ning can handle Carol alone, Akira doesn't mind if she's resting.

Reward for the request needs to be consulted. If there is no particular request, in addition to the daily base salary, a separate amount will be paid according to the size at the time of the battle as escort.

You may have the hunter run as long as you like for the duration of the request. Carol helps with that, too. And I don't mind staying at home all the time during this period. In any case, being with Carol. That was the condition offered.

Akira was slightly confused when she heard those explanations. From what I've heard, it was definitely just relaxing and content with gold. But that's why I couldn't help but seem like a scam. Ask to explore for its wipe.

"How much do I get for my basic daily salary?

"Right. How about holding me every day for the duration? And I just wanted to say, then you don't take Akira. If it's most men, I'll take it with joy and courage with this... I'll ask you, can't you?

"No. Make it money."

"I guess. Hmm."

Carol seriously bothers me. Think of your own budget, assume the duration of the request and estimate the minimum amount that the other person would accept. And carefully put the amount of the offer in your mouth.

"A million aurums a day. How about this?

"A million aurums..."

Now Akira starts to worry. The offer is expensive enough for Akira. But I don't know if it's a reasonable amount as a request. Believe me if that's the market, but I can't wipe the suspicion that you're trying to fish for ducks by offering an unjustly high amount of money than you remember your concerns about the request itself.

But Carol captured Akira's attitude the other way around. Add a supplement to ask for a little from there.

"Sure, if it's Akira's current behavioral restraint bill, it could be a lot cheaper. But I have a budget, too. And even if you always say you're on my side (by my side), the rest of the restraints should be very loose. Considering that area, can't you compromise?

Ask Akira if she is secretive, taking care not to surprise her face.

"Alpha. What do you think?

"At least Carol really wants Akira to be patient with that cheap forehead."

"Really.... A million aurums a day, is it cheap"

"If you ask me about my judgment on the validity of the amount of the reward, I can't give you an answer. Well, if you think Akira is too expensive, let's assume Carol buys Akira's strength so high here '

(A) No, it's not like a scam that presents high prices and hooks them up. Akira decided so and erased the concern that had been floating from the point of view that the reward was too high. And ask another question.

"Why do you need an escort in the first place?

To that common question, Carol makes her expression slightly stiff.

"Just a precaution. I can't tell you the details of the situation, but it's very noisy around me temporarily, so it's to prevent me from getting caught up in a strange disturbance from a strange misconception, or that's why. That's not what certain people are after. Plus, it's just too much to think about, and there may not be a need to hire an escort from the beginning. But I'm a little nervous, and you can laugh at me later that I was over-conscious, so I just want to feel safe now."

Akira checked with Alpha again and heard her reply that she had not vomited. Think a little on that.

"Disturbance, huh?"

If it is to prevent you from getting caught up in strange disturbances (to prevent you from getting caught up in strange misunderstandings), isn't it counterproductive to hire yourself as an escort? Somehow that kind of question comes to mind. But Carol is also someone Viola has a relationship with. He will not know the extent of it. That's what I reconsidered. But ask once.

"I ask you once, why are you asking me to escort you?

"Of course, I anticipated Akira's strength and credibility."

"I don't know what to say to myself, but I'm the one who makes a lot of noise, gets caught up in noise, that's the one with a lot of opportunities."

Kibayashi laughs and tells me something similar, and I go on remembering events that I couldn't deny enough.

"You tell me you don't like getting caught up in some weird commotion, and you hire that one as your escort?

Akira dared to put on the table the thoughts and attitudes that had stained her over the years of her life. Still, Carol laughs and answers without looking concerned.

"It's not because of Akira, is it? I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, I'm asking for it after I think about it. So never mind Akira either. But if you're aware of that, you'll be happy to restrain yourself a lot during the request period. I won't force you, though."

"Alpha"

"I'm choosing words, but I'm not vomiting."

'You mean you're hiding a lot?

"He says he can't tell you the details, so he's not throwing up, including around."

"Is that what you mean?"

Ask Akira, who started worrying again, Alpha asks a little strangely.

'If you can't wipe your suspicions, I think you should just say no, but you want to take it?

Akira was so pointed out that she became aware of her thoughts. After showing a slightly unexpected appearance of myself, with that conscious thought, I reconsider what I need to hear about this request. And ask Carol that with a serious face.

"I'll apologize first because it'll make you sick to hear it, but answer me. You don't mean to set me up or cheat me on this request, do you?

Akira gazed firmly at Carol with a serious attitude. Keep a close eye on that gaze, too, Carol. And answer seriously and seriously.

"It depends on the meaning of the word. If the meaning of nesting means that I expect Akira to be detrimental, there are no shards of intent. If you haven't heard of deception, deception, or deception, then there may be situations where there is no choice but to interpret it that way. I myself don't know exactly where or on what scale I'm afraid of being attacked. If I can't assure you that I can't take the request, I'll give up too."

Carol also replied as honestly as she could to Akira, who asked for her sincerity. Silence flows as you look into the other person's eyes. And Akira relaxed first.

"Okay. Undertake."

Carol also let loose her face and exhaled a slight relief (mostly) breath.

"Thanks. That'll help."

"I'm sorry. I'm not in the middle of a negotiation, and I've been told to be careful not to get stuck in there, so I doubted it."

"It's fine. Tasty stories have their backs. Because it's like that in the world. It's hard to live even if you just suspect the dark clouds, but you can't do it if you can't even remember a delicious (yummy) story. Viola and I are quite connected, but it's really hard to feel the balance of trust and suspicion around here."

When I saw Carol smile with a real sense of bitterness, Akira also smiled somewhat bitterly for fun.

Afterwards, Akira was packing up a request story with Carol. So Alpha asks me how it looks a little unexpected.

"Akira. How come you didn't end up checking with me to see if Carol's story was a lie?

'Hmm? Well, about my last decision, I thought I should do it myself. What's it like to ask Alpha every time? If I was fooled, it's just that I was an idiot.

"Yes, that would be good."

Alpha conceived whether she should teach Akira her judgment and chose not to teach it here. That was to make Alpha think it would have been better to check if Akira's choice had been incorrect.

Carol answered Akira as honestly as she could. And the part about not being able to do that was choosing the words whenever possible.
