Rebuild World

I've run errands with Carol and the others. Zeros is driving home. Barbarodo is not on board because he handed it over to Viola.

Negotiations at the scene between Zeros and Viola came with a piece without rubbing. It is not uncommon for negotiators of intermediaries to be involved in rubbing between hunters. If a high-ranking hunter team seriously kills each other because of stubborn rubbing, most of the damage around them will also be harsh. Except in extreme cases where they both wish to destroy (at least) their opponents, they often put their negotiators on their behalf to rule things peacefully. Zeros was also accustomed to negotiating that hand, and was supposed to pack the details with Viola at a later date with the negotiators on Zeros' team side.

It has already been established at the previous negotiation stage that Barbarodo will bear a significant liability. However, since we were to be treated as a debt borne by a little scandal on the team and a little rubbing (also) between hunters, we would not suddenly be in a situation where we would be the subjects of inhumane human experiments.

Sometimes a highly-ranked hunter would be enough to keep diving into the ruins until he paid off his debts after being deprived of a certain amount of freedom. Zeros thought so and thought that would be good. Because even though I did something that I couldn't forgive as a team leader, I can feel a little tempted to go to hell with someone I have feelings for.

On top of that, Zeros shrugged with a surprising face.

"... but even though I'm glad I checked and wasted concerns disappeared, why did he even imitate it like that? He's a cyborg, and I don't think there's any way he's going to get that far."

Many men break themselves in women's relationships, even if they are high-ranking hunters. Many high-ranking hunters naturally earn so much money that they can't compare to ordinary hunters that the recoil back from their dead places makes them rough on gold and invites more of their hands. Since the benefits of success are also significant, the means of the insertion side will also be refined.

However, it is still considered difficult to simply sexually attach to the orthodox or cyborg. The sensitivity adjustment of the sensors is often adjustable on the prosthetic side, because many people do not have the function of their hands on combat aircraft in the first place.

Even if you take means such as the combined use of augmented reality devices, it is difficult to simply give them a physical feeling enough to drown them sexually. For this reason, no one gives the right to administer the body to the other person.

Therefore, if you attempt to cage the person, you will attack them mostly from the point of constructing a pseudo-romantic relationship. But that's usually hard too. It takes time, time, and expense to investigate target preferences and contact disguised as coincidence. Conversely, there is often a purpose that is commensurate with it if it is carried out even with all that effort.

Zeros knows about that, too. That's why I had strong concerns about this case and went out (on purpose) to check it out myself.

Zeros thought this was an attack from a hostile hunter team and others. They sent in operatives to deepen their relationship with their goals and came to rob the team of their money, information and credibility. That's what I was thinking.

But if you check it out, Barbarodo's opponent was just a female hunter who took a hooker (softie) for a side job. Judging by the fact that Barbarodo told him everything in a minor interrogation after the discovery of embezzlement and agreed to take the money he had given him from Carroll, or from what he actually said and did when he tried to take it, his relationship with Carroll was to the extent of being a whore (softie) and a guest. I didn't see any deep relationships in terms of love as seen in advanced honey traps.

Zeros was relieved (mostly) that it was not the work of the enemy team, but another suspicion grew. As a leader, I know my fellow personalities. That's why I didn't really think Barbarodo would go into enough outrage to spill classified information to get his hands on the team's money in relation to the extent of his favorite hooker (softie) and customer.

(... I don't know. Barbarodo is a cyborg. That woman seems to be a physical enhancement dilator, but her body is alive, isn't it? Even if I had an augmentation that would allow me to work with a shitty VR (Augmented Reality) device, I wouldn't be able to make Barbarodo pay enough to do such a stupid imitation. How the hell...)

So surprisingly, Zeros remembers Carol's words. Most misunderstandings can be solved on the bed. I was confident in the words. What would have happened to me if I had received that invitation? Zeros' face distorted with a bitter smile.

"I don't know, you mean a pretty nasty woman. We need to be careful. Tell them to watch out for the rest of the team."

We've already had a deal with Viola to keep any other information flowing from Barbarodo out of the negotiations. I will formally exchange contracts via the hunter's office at a later date, but it still has certain effect, which is a word of mouth. Unless you're hostile to Carol and the others, there's no risk that the team's confidential information will flow outside. Ethically, physically, if you kill someone, it's not a matter of solving it, so Zeros decided that this case had a piece attached to it.

If you are a person who often causes this kind of rubbing (also) to high-ranking hunter opponents, you will also be used to dealing with the calm afterwards. I wouldn't do anything else to pass on information and ruin what I didn't have to kill each other. That's what I was thinking.

In fact, Carol wasn't so used to rubbing (or rubbing) high-ranking hunters. Those working on the more eastern side have a commensurate high level of force and organizational strength. Considering that the risk of rubbing (also) the hands is too great when they are customers, until now I have refrained from making them customers, adding or subtracting the amount to be squeezed even if they are customers.

I mean, Carol was crossing a pretty dangerous bridge this time. Each area is damaged and the valley is deep, a dangerous bridge that could die if it falls. He also had the awareness. Still, I crossed that bridge because I decided it was better than walking on a minefield. He decided it would be safer to cross dangerous bridges than to walk on the ground, which is sure to contain mines that would kill him instantly if he stepped on them.

Even if there were actually just placards standing to indicate that the mines were not laid and that they were mine fields, or even if it was all worrying (kiyu), it was impossible to walk there to Carol.

Even today Akira was attached to the task of creating a map of the ruins of Mihazono Street as Carol's escort. Moving through the ruins together, I see Carol doing things that I don't really understand from time to time, and then I follow her, wondering if it's probably some kind of mapping exercise.

Carol still stops halfway down the road, gazing into the air with nothing. And when I laughed and invited Akira, I pointed to the ground.

"Akira. Stand here for a second."

Akira stood where she was instructed to do as she was told. Nothing else happens. But Carol was insignificant about Akira, but watched carefully.

"... I stood, what?

Seeing Akira, who seemed a little strange, Carol now pointed forward when she stopped observing.

"Now look over there. There's a mechanical monster over there with camo enabled, you know?

Akira gazes in that direction. An information-gathering device senses the movement of its gaze and begins to adjust the scope and accuracy of the information-gathering process. Simple camouflage functionality can see through it. But I can't discover anything like it.

"Alpha. Are you sure there's such a thing?

Alpha laughs and answers.

'I'm sure he is. It's hard to find, though. Should I support you?

"Please. Oh, first, please adjust the enemy settings of the information-gathering equipment"

If the performance of Akira's information-gathering device was such an advanced camouflage that it could never be detected, if it was spotted with the support of Alpha, it would not fit when it was pointed out later. If it is a question of adjusting the setup of the opponent, it will be explained by his skill. In addition to training the enemy, Akira also tried to be careful around it.

"Okay."

Alpha intervenes in setting up information-gathering equipment. The optimal setting based on knowing that the subject existed there beforehand resulted in a breaking of the advanced camouflage scratching the normal enemy function. There, a large multi-legged tank stood occupying almost (mostly) the width of the road. The foot part was disguised as a thick street tree due to its camouflage function, preventing someone from being bumped into and discovered because of unseen behavior.

Akira slightly cramps her face.

"... found. Carol, you found that. My information-gathering device is pretty high-performance, but it took me a long time to find it. So far, with advanced camouflage, you won't be able to find it until you know you're there from the beginning."

Carol laughs well.

"This is also the result of updating the aggregate data over and over again after taking the data carefully and carefully in the mapping process. Maps with this kind of information can be sold at high prices. It's not on the map of those cartographers."

"As far as it goes. You mean the fruit of traveling to the ruins many times with a gap in your hands."

There are enemies invisible to the ruins. Whoever finds out about that threat on the map I bought from Carol will also buy the map from Carol next time. That's how Akira found out.

"But won't someone be attacked near that?

"It's usually just a figurine you can't see, so it's harmless unless you get a little bit out of here. Perhaps it's a reserve for the kind of noise we had before."

So Carol laughs deeply.

"Well, some people doubted my map and couldn't find it because they checked it on their own information-gathering device, so I'd like to try it out. There was such a log in the aggregate data. And a record of being fought back and dying. If there are more dead, it could be a new mystery of the ruins."

"Surely it's no wonder if it's suspicious if things like that happen more often."

Multi-legged tanks that do not strike unless certain conditions are met are placed in the ruins in advanced camouflage conditions. If a large number of those who have unluckily fulfilled the conditions die, the number of deaths for which the cause of death is unknown will increase. No wonder the unclear rumor (rumor) has become suspicious. Akira thought so, but somehow saw Alpha.

Alpha smiles back as usual.

'What's wrong with you?

'No, it's nothing. With Alpha, I just thought I'd never be struck by surprise. "

Of course. Leave it to me. '

Alpha replied in a confident manner.

There is a suspicion of inviting ghosts in the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street. But I'm not dead. At least not yet. Akira somehow thought so.

Carol keeps talking.

"Speaking of new suspicions, do you know that rumors (rumors) are spreading that if you do poorly on this site, it's going to be a new one?

"No, I don't. What kind of rumor?

"They've been seeing strange maids in this ruin lately. If you try to speak up or put a mark on it, it will suddenly disappear."

"... it's simply that there are hunters in made-up clothes wandering around, reluctant to be approached by other hunters, what are they just spreading?

There are also about two acquaintances of Akira in maid clothes. I don't know if it was him or his kind, but it didn't seem like something that would be suspicious to Akira. Then Carol laughs deeply and puts in a supplement.

"If that's all. They just disappear really suddenly. It's possible that the restoration work on the ruins caused the city's directions feature or something to be fixed together, but then it's just 3D footage or just extensions of footage. I was in Selantalville, just like her. Just do a little research on the information-gathering equipment and you'll see. But it's not. He was there right before he disappeared, but suddenly he disappeared."

"Really? Hmm. Still, I don't think we're talking about anything suspicious."

"Later, he said, he really cared about who it was, and some of them took a leap around looking for the maid, but some of them are missing information. Some of them are pretty strong hunters, and some of them are a mix of higher-ranking hunters from the east or something."

Even if a few hunters become unknown at the site, they are usually cleaned up due to lack of skill and increased difficulty in the site. But without those who are supposed to be resistant to misplacement, the fear that there is just something about it also grows stronger. If a similar situation persists without a clear reason, and rumors (rumors) that seem to have something to do with it spreading together, there is no wonder that it would be suspicious.

"Is that what you mean? Sure, if that keeps happening, it's gonna be suspicious."

"If it's a suspicious conversation, if you want to give it a name, there's a suspicious conversation about inviting ghosts in the ruins of Kuzsuhara Street, and this one, the inviting maid, is it?

Akira blows out lightly and laughs, which I find oddly funny.

"No, isn't that a little cheap?

"Naming a mystery is such a thing, isn't it?

"I think so."

"Then what would Akira name it?

"Me? Right..."

Akira and the others continued such chatter and then went around the ruins.

Raina was exploring the city section of the ruins of Mihazono Street with Ciori and the others. Naturally, the hunter is open. However, the situation was slightly different from the normal hunter operation.

Siori and Kanae are still wearing maid clothes today. However, it is not the same as before. It's a high-performance combat suit that Siori negotiated and procured with above.

Although it maintains the design of made-to-measure clothing, there are many areas where improvement in combat ability is prioritized over design. Even if it looks like made-up clothing in the distance, it's better than combat clothing to the extent that some people decide it was just a mistake to look at it nearby. The performance is also extraordinarily high compared to previous ones and is not at all inferior to the equipment of hunters operating near the city of Zegelt.

Other armaments, etc. are also available in the same high performance items as their combat clothing. I mean, given the difficulty of this ruin, it's all about high-performance stuff out of place.

And today Raina wore the same gear as the Siori and the others.

Siori didn't feel too comfortable putting the same clothes on Raina as they did. Because no matter how well designed and very high-performance substitutes are in combat, they are ultimately servant-side clothing. But the failure to arrange separate arming for Raina in the negotiations with above, and Raina's own total reluctance to wear it, led Raina to wear the same servant-side gear as the Sioris.

Siori advances to Raina with a difficult face.

"Ma'am, how about we still weave something up there?

Just weaving feathers changes a lot. I can hide Rayna in her servant's clothes. That's what I thought. But Rayna shook her head gently to the side.

"It's good to stay like this. This equipment is not designed to weave any feathers on top, so if you do it poorly, the performance will go down because of it, right?

"That's true, but if it's a monster around here, we can handle it enough. I was wondering if the lady would care that much."

"So you don't have to weave some kind of feather to slow down performance, do you? Keep it up."

"Would you like to sit on your left..."

Siori reluctantly pulled back. After seeing how it was, Kanae laughed lightly on the surface and entered Yume.

"Well, this equipment seems to be on loan only this time. So when I'm done with work, I'll go back to dressing up as your daughter. Until then, I'll be patient."

"... right. I know."

Siori gently exhaled and switched her mind.

Raina also knows how Siori feels. Still, despite Siori's instructions, Rayna's mood changed when she wore her current gear.

Rayna was very saddened to learn of Katsuya's death. But more than that, I was surprised. Raina herself, has been in danger many times before. There have been many situations where I almost died. That's why I knew hunter operation was so tough.

But still, somewhere in my mind I always thought Katsuya wouldn't die. That was overshadowed by Katsuya's death.

A wilderness is a hunter's operation, a dangerous place where even that katsuya can die. Rayna recognized that by learning of Katsuya's death. It erased the sweet thoughts that still remained somewhere in my mind that underestimated the dangers of the wilderness.

I thought the wilderness was scared of hunter operations again. But I'm not frightened. I don't even think about it. I think I'm right scared of something I'm scared of, and I respond with sufficient caution, vigilance and readiness to get over it. Raina had the will and talent to make it possible.

Rarely had Rayna's rare talents been polished with the death of Katsuya. By rightly grieving the death, he had grown firm without wearing his heart with grief, getting used to death and becoming dull, or being able to pull (or not) his thoughts into tragedy.

With that growth, Raina didn't give a damn about her outfit or anything.

"So, Siori, what's the progress on that job like?

Siori carefully bows her head.

"I'm sorry. Unfortunately, there are no achievements such as this, and Fang (Kanba) is not in a good position. But it's not like you're ever going to continue to work hard. While I am not able to share the details with the lady, I am deeply aware of your dissatisfaction with the situation, but please be patient..."

"Oh, yeah, it's good. Never mind the neighborhood. I don't doubt that Siori is serious. Still, I guess that's all the hard stuff about not being able to make progress. Don't rush, let's move on."

After laughing and flushing so lightly, smile (cheeks) as Raina cares about Siori.

"It's all right. I'm going to cut it off, including a request for home entanglement."

"... thank you for your time."

Siori bowed her head again with a look of sorry.

Rayna doesn't know the details of this job. Precisely equal to almost nothing. The way the request is received is also anomalous and Ciori does the tricky thing of making a request to Drancam and taking the request himself via Drancam. And Raina was accompanied in the form of getting under that siori.

Because this job involves confidentiality in my parents' home (because of this), I can't give details to Raina, who is away from my parents' home in a way. Raina had been so politely explained by Siori exchanging apologies. Though there are some things that I think about in terms of requests for home entanglement, it's the pinnacle of stupidity such as kicking with a personal affair that doesn't make requests from large companies if you think about how they grow up as hunters. Ning should be seen as a good opportunity to make full use of it. That's what Raina thought, and she was splitting it up there.

There were also such circumstances, and Raina was accompanying the team as a simple force personnel, just like Kanae. Ciori was in charge of the parts involved in the actual work and continued to act that Raina didn't quite understand as we went around the ruins together. Stand with white cards on the ruins, on the side of the road, in a room in a building, on rubble or in a square. He then exhaled lightly and repeatedly moved to the next location.

Siori exhaled again and danced the white card. Kanae asks lightly.

"I don't know what to do."

"Yeah. Is it a bad place, an authentication issue, or is the means wrong in the first place?... I don't know."

"It's time to finish checking where we're going. If it's not a matter of place, it's useless to just keep going. What are we gonna do? When you're done checking the location of your plans, you'll have your hands on entering the Selantaru building. I think we can handle our gear right now. So if you can't do it there, it means you're already doing it in the wrong way. Ask your daughter to return to the city..."

Siori shakes her neck sideways with a rugged face.

"No, you can't. I don't know why, but there are Kugamayama City troops under siege. I hear a man named Yanagi Sawa uses his full powers to isolate him. They say there's a strict security system in that section of the ruins of Kuzhara Street."

"Is that it? Well, then it seems impossible to multiply it by some noise."

"Of course (of course), with permission from the city, we might be able to get to the 57th floor. But if you do, that negotiation will definitely leak information. I'm sure the cross spear will come in.... So going to Selantalville is a last resort. You can't choose unless you have more certainty."

"Do you? I'll leave it to my sister to decide, but if I keep it up, I'll get stuck. Do you want me to pull it up?

Siori also knows Kanae is right. It is certain that if it stays this way, it will be the wings that will pull up without results. This is the opportunity I got when I used my white card as a negotiating material. I didn't want to let go.

"... if it's a matter of place, I'm thinking of another possibility. I'll try you first before I pull you up."

"Okay."

Returning the look that Siori was naturally getting harsher, she smiles (cheeks) with no problem pointing at Raina.

"Ma'am, we're moving to the next location."

"Roger. Shall we go? Oh, I've said it many times, but now that Siori's like an employer, I don't mind a little more light tone."

"No, it's"

"Really? Well, do you follow your employer's intentions there"

Rayna laughed lightly and told the story jokingly.

On the move, Raina whispers to Kanae.

"Hey Kanae. Siori, are you okay?

It's okay. It depends on what you mean.

"Kanae can decide what it means. Because I don't know the situation. Including the decision that you don't need to know, and you can't tell me. But I can see that Shiori is a little overwhelmed. Maybe for me. So, what do I say, but don't let him push you too hard"

"Well, I think you should tell your sister yourself?

"Whether I tell Siori not to do it, or vice versa, or not to say anything, Siori will do it, right? That's why I'm telling Kanae. Please."

Kanae looks vegan and unexpected.

"I didn't think your daughter was the type to say that."

Raina gives me a subtle look of bitter laughter.

"... that's what they thought of me?

Kanae laughs lightly for a little fun.

"Blah blah, when I first met your daughter, you only thought about fucking kid a. Oh, not now, huh?

Raina deepens her bitter laughter.

"I'll be careful not to go back to fucking kid A."

Kanae laughs at him as if he were a jerk.

"That's a good thing."

"Thanks for that."

The strange subordinate proceeded through the ruins, speaking intimately to the curved form as well.
