Rebuild World

The hunter's office outpost on the ruins of Mihazono Street is equipped with a dining room. Akira and the others were eating there after work. It sits in a seat for expensive orderers in a dining room divided into three easy compartments for each meal requested. Seats for those who pay about 100,000 aurums for meals, but Akira and the others have no problems at all.

A relatively high ranking hunter sits at the standard of Mihazono Street ruins. It is usually empty. But it was crowded today. It's not as tightly jammed as it is, but if this condition continues, it is certain that it will be necessary to adjust the partition position. It was so crowded.

Akira looked at the cause of that crowd from the edge of the table and looked slightly surprised and strange.

"Carol. That, what do you think?

"Somewhere rich, I guess."

The women in maid clothes and the men in butler clothes, about fifteen people combined, occupy the opposite side of the table. At the centre of it sat a lady-style girl dressed in tall clothes. The girl had left and right standing a woman who seemed to be the chief on the maid's side and a man who seemed to be the chief on the butler's side, informing the surroundings that she was the lord of the group.

"Maid clothes, butler clothes, no, combat clothes with that kind of design. Hmm. Sounds expensive."

"It should actually be pretty expensive. Because design takes precedence over functionality, and because the performance itself does not drop, advanced technology is necessary. There must be plenty of technology in the old world, so the price will go up."

The girl's tricks had a sophisticated atmosphere that made her feel the work of the upper class. He mouths the most expensive dishes in this dining room and still gives his expression to his dissatisfaction with the flavour, but he doesn't have an attitude that lacks character.

"Nevertheless, if there's only one or two people in maid or butler clothes anyway, don't feel like where the hell are we.... the maid's suspicion, if the hunter spoke to them, it wouldn't have been erased because they thought he was suspicious."

"I don't know. Well, just stay out of it."

"Right."

Akira and the others went on eating without interest in the group.

As Akira drinks her post-meal coffee, Carol, who was in touch with someone during the meal, discusses her upcoming plans.

"Akira. I was supposed to be done by now, but can I put in some work this afternoon? If you don't like Akira, you can say no."

"I'll hang out with Carol around there, so you can do whatever you want. Continuing mapping?

"No, it's the job of those who sell maps. I have a guest who asked for map data and directions. And the hunter wants to deliver the data in the ruins."

"Regardless of the directions, I wish I could receive the data online. Is it dangerous to give it away in the ruins?

"Viola brokered the neighborhood, so you'll be fine."

Upon hearing the rationale, Akira was rather surprised. Then Carol laughs with pleasure.

"Ask Viola to take the blame if the customer imitates too much silliness. That's how Viola brokers after finding out. Viola shouldn't be willing to kill each other with me at the moment. You even have Akira as your escort. So it's okay. Is this good?

"... Oh, yeah. Okay."

Akira was convinced but had a lot of subtle faces on her face. Carol laughs bitterly.

"Viola is a poor quality woman, but if she doesn't use it the wrong way, she can also use that poor quality effectively. Don't worry, I know how to handle it."

"Oh well. I asked for it."

Akira's face was subtle, including convincing, and had not seeped a slightly more deceptive grin than earlier. The words of a woman who in one way thinks a little less of a quality than Viola in the case of Barbarodo contained enough persuasion.

Raina and the others are resting in the ruins. Snacks were taken in one of the rooms of an unmanned building rebuilt by the city's restoration function.

Thereupon, Siori, who received the communication, had a face that had bitten (or crushed) the bitter bug after finishing the conversation with the other party over the information terminal. Rayna was pulling lightly when she saw it.

"Siori. Uh, what happened?

Cioli takes care of his expression before answering.

"... lady. Chloe wants to see the lady. She's headed this way."

Rayna looks surprised.

"Chloe? To me?

"I want to see your face because I came nearby. That's what I said, but the details are unknown."

Siori has a disgusting face. The look on your face after fixing it. The inner heart is not the ratio of the surface. Rayna laughs bitterly when she sees how it goes.

"Well, you're just tired of poking me. All right. When are you coming over here?

"... we'll be there in about 15 minutes."

Raina accidentally dyed her face in surprise at an unexpected time. Minimum of three days to travel to Kugamayama city. Include preparation and it will take a week. Because I was thinking on that premise.

"Fifteen minutes, uh, Chloe, are you out of the fence? I mean, are you close?

"Looks like you were already at the hunter's office outpost at this site when you were contacted"

"Are you coming? Right here, in the ruins?

"Like that."

Rayna has a face that she doesn't understand.

"... why?

Siori had an idea. But I can't talk to Raina because it's a matter of my current job.

"It's not what I found out if it wasn't harassment of the lady, such as the intention over there"

Raina didn't notice that her inner dissatisfaction was stronger than her deception of Raina in Siori's expression.

Fifteen minutes later, a girl the same age as Rayna came to Rayna and the others with numerous maids and deacons. This is the group Akira saw in the dining room.

The girl is called Chloe, and she belongs to the same clan as Raina.

Siori serves Raina, but technically the clan, which is also Raina's home. And Chloe belongs to that clan. On the face carefully bow your head.

"Dear Chloe. It's been a while since I've sat down. For what use today?

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you? I'm here to see Rayna's face."

Chloe gave Ciori the smile of her upper position. And smile (cheeks) at Rayna for intimacy.

"Long time no see. You look great in that outfit."

Chloe's expression and tone are very loving. But what you say is a clear provocation. Shiori is desperate to keep his inner face from appearing. Chloe smiled slightly at Siori's reaction as expected, then shifted her gaze to try to enjoy Rayna's reaction this time.

But contrary to Chloe's expectations, Rayna's reaction was light.

"Thanks. You look great in that outfit, too, and I just wanted to say, if it's true, you don't look great there."

I'm surprised (a lot) while Chloe pretends to be spare.

"... what do you mean?

I had an ugly tantrum (kanshiku) about being treated as a servant, and I thought he was going to curse me with a rough voice. But Rayna hasn't moved at all. A grin had disappeared from Chloe's expression in an attitude far removed from the figure she had in mind.

On the contrary, Raina has a slightly strange look on her face, as if it were nothing.

"What do you mean, it's a ruin here? It's dangerous if it's just clothes. Touristy is good, but if something happens to you with clothes like that, it's tough, right?

"Oh, that's the thing. It's okay. My men are very good."

Chloe had a dark, unlike Rayna, facial expression indicating what it meant. Chloe and the others are attached according to their standing in the clan. The number and capacity of the accompanying persons are proportionate to the competence and status of the Lord. Those whom Chloe took were both proud and intimidating of Rayna.

But Rayna's reaction is a pale night. Without vanity, gently flush the opponent's provocation with nature.

"Yeah, but they're not used to working in the wilderness, are they? You should be careful not to cause extra trouble. Well, I'm just annoying Siori and the others, and that's not what I could tell people."

That's what Raina said and joked about. She kept room enough to have a self-derisive bitter laugh. On the contrary, Chloe had inferred a lot from the other person's attitude, making his expression slightly more rugged.

"So, are you really just here to see your face for Chloe? Then I'm sorry, can I have it cut up already? In the middle of hunter operations, I'm still busy."

"You're not that good at your job?

"It's hard to navigate. Unfortunately."

Rayna and Chloe smile at each other soothingly on the surface. Behind it, explore the other person's situation from the frivolous stories. And after a brief silence, Chloe opens her mouth slightly abruptly.

"White card"

The short word contained many meanings that those who knew the circumstances would understand. This one understands what you do and what you do. I even know the color of the card. It's all out of control. There were heaps of such advice, warnings, and shaking.

Siori's face is slightly distorted. I was going to fake and cover it up myself. Still, the information is leaking to Chloe, which means that that's more people than expected have decided that Chloe is competent or (has) better off selling the information to Chloe.

Siori made an effort to keep her inner shock out of her attitude as far as possible. Still, it appeared slightly on my face. That was the shock. And when Chloe saw it, she perceived that she had seen a lot from her reaction, and further distorted her face slightly.

Chloe was satisfied with Siori's reaction, as expected. But I'm slightly confused by Rayna's reaction. Rayna was slightly in love.

"A white card, what?

Chloe looks surprised.

"... you (you), maybe you don't know anything?

Rayna replies with a light laugh.

"Oh, did I find out? Actually, it is."

Rayna and Chloe smile silently again. Deepen the inference from the opponent's reaction behind it. And it was Chloe who was being drawn more information here and planted with suspicion.

Rayna also knows that Chloe is putting in some exploration. But Raina herself really knows almost nothing, so the reaction becomes minimal. On top of that, even though I really didn't know, I dared to pretend I didn't.

Do you really not know, vanity, or is it an indication of the margin that everything is good (well)? Chloe doesn't know. The certainty gained from Siori's reaction is scratched (or disturbed) by Raina's reaction.

They try to amplify their slight swings by staring into each other's eyes while smiling (cheeks) at each other. And Raina, who didn't know, didn't shake, and Chloe, who knew, shaken slightly.

Ever since, it has been watched (seen) not only by Raina, but also by Siori. Chloe thought so and decided to cut her own reaction up here this time so that she wouldn't borrow unnecessarily because of any more observed behavior.

"You seem busy, and I'm leaving. It's been a while since I've seen your face."

"I'm sorry. I'm really busy. I'm supposed to be busy for a while, so if you're coming back, make sure you adjust the date and time in advance."

"... yes. All right. Bye."

Chloe laughed lightly and walked away from the spot. And get far enough away from the Rainas. Then, the look that no longer needs to be repaired becomes irritating and distorted.

Near Chloe's side, Pamela, who is also the lead role of the maids, speaks to Chloe.

"Ma'am, was it a good idea to do that? He said he was busy, etc., but wondered if it was unnecessary to consider the circumstances beyond. That's all the ladies have."

When Chloe grasps the mental state of both herself and her opponent from Pamela's reaction, she deliberately regains her mind and shakes her neck sideways in a light manner.

"It's fine. I also wanted to re-compartmentalize this one once rather than continue talking on that occasion. It's just a good excuse."

"Is it Master Left?"

As close to Chloe as Pamela is, Lattis, who is also the deacons' leading role, pinches his mouth when he sees Pamela looking somewhere dissatisfied.

"Ma'am, if you don't mind, would you mind telling me about the need to re-compartmentalize that place?

"Because the prerequisites for negotiations have collapsed. A loyalist who manages to return the fallen (cradles) who were driven out of the wilderness because of incompetence and their fallen (cradles) to their original place. It would have been easy for those just about there. My asylum (straw) I can go back to my previous life if I go under and be adult. You'll jump if you say so. That's what I thought."

"It is true that she is being hunted (to) buy Lawrence's pleasure. It is also true that her entourage is desperate to improve the situation. I don't think the preconditions have broken."

A man named Lawrence, who reigns at the apex of the Raynas' clan, was originally a hunter. Based on the results of hunter operations, he has enjoyed his business, succeeded and is now the chairman of a large enough company to expand its branches throughout the east. Although not as large as the five largest companies issuing corporate currencies, they managed several huge governed corporate cities, virtually dominating those cities.

The company is clan-owned due to certain circumstances, and all management positions are clan members. When it becomes a big company so far, there will also be quite a few executive seats, which will normally be allocated to non-blood relatives. But Lawrence's unrestrained hands on the woman also made the number of children very high, and the number of grandchildren was even more swollen. As a result, all the fewer seats were filled with blood, and a fierce (shiny) struggle for power was waged among those who could not sit and those who sought to attach to the higher seats.

Rayna is also one of Lawrence's grandchildren. And he was out of a city managed by his clan and doing hunters because his family belonged to a fallen faction.

If those who have lost the power struggle within the company seek means of reversal or growth outside the company, the most effective way to do so is to grow up as hunters.

Lawrence tended to favour factions with hunters over factions that existed innumerably within the company. They say internally it's because Lawrence is a former hunter. You can also expect preferential treatment from internal factions if you bring valuable artifacts to your company without flushing them to a marginal (approximate) company when the hunter is operational. Depending on the value of the artifact, you will be given enough advantages to exchange the entire seat of management of the branch.

Not all of them succeed outside, of course. Most of them fail, they are swallowed up in the wilderness and die. Still, caught in the profits if they succeeded, the factions that lost the internal struggle and were cold treated and fallen, etc., were hunters out of themselves in order to reverse them.

Naturally, those chosen there are those who, as factions, have been judged to be useless even if left in the company. Whether you refuse and get kicked out of the clan altogether, or stay in the clan once even as a hunter, the majority of them are forced to make that decision and reluctantly choose a hunter. Raina was one of them. Knowing he was a little interested in hunter operations, he pawned the faction just fine.

By the standards of Chloe and the others, Raina was that incompetent. But Chloe met Raina directly earlier and changed her mind.

"Lattice saw Rayna's gear, too, didn't she? That's company equipment. That's pretty high-performance stuff, too. It's something Rayna and the others can't borrow."

"But I borrowed it. Is that the basis on which you saw and saw the prerequisites covered?

"It's a comprehensive decision, and that's not all. But even that equipment alone, I'm pretty sure I negotiated with the best people in the company to make it a success. Whoever that negotiator was, I'm pretty sure that someone was convinced when they asked Raina and the others why they lent all that gear....... white card. You had a hard time knowing that word?

Chloe grinned lightly and answered that, then tightened her expression.

"Rayna and the others were not fools who continued to run the invisible hunters in their fine hopes. Just because we actually met and got that information is a good achievement for this one. Besides, what Raina and the others are trying to achieve seems to be farther away than I expected. We need to rethink the operation to make it our achievement. For this reason, we also need time to gather information. That's why I re-ordered it."

Pamela suggests with a serious face.

"If they are, we will be able to deal with them adequately with our power. Wasn't there also the means to have that white card, which is the key to the achievement, handed over to you on that occasion? This is a wilderness, so I thought that means like that would be acceptable enough."

Chloe smiles lightly and gives it back.

"No, you can't. If you get used to those quick means, your bargaining arm will be lowered just for that matter. Well, I'll do it if I have to."

And smile (cheeks) as if to embarrass Pamela.

"For once, you belong to the same clan, so let's not use force. There's no need to inadvertently threaten me. The results that Raina and the others produce should be too great a track record to go back to. There must be plenty of room for negotiation. Let's start over there. Even if you threaten me, it's not a direct means. I'd like to try my hand before I do."

"... awe."

Pamela is showing a little reluctance because she wants an opportunity to show her strength. Chloe knew about that, too. They want a higher position than their subordinates do, just as they want a higher position. Chloe takes that for granted.

The reason is unknown, but the chief of the clan has left the internal power struggle unattended. There are even signs that Ning is recommending it. Sometimes even if we develop into a struggle by force, we don't try to deal with it fundamentally by just paying attention to the upper side. Chloe found out about them and found herself flushed by the trend, which she thought was good.

Excellence takes a higher place. The internal power struggle is its sieve and elimination. Until I follow the process myself. That's what I was thinking.

And unlike myself, which is the main side, the Pamelas, which are the servers, have limitations on the means to go up. Within the internal system, there is also a limit to active movement due to the limitation that it is the service side. There are two main ways for them to stretch out. Push up the position of the Lord with your own strength. be pulled out to the higher Lord. Either of them.

Sometimes they try to be liked by the higher Lord and vice versa are truncated by the present Lord. The Lord also trumps his incompetence so that his men may discern the Lord. Whether it is to be liked (for) or not to be truncated (for), we need proof that we are competent.

Chloe was not willing to give Pamela results for either reason. However, words are also chosen to reduce unnecessary dissatisfaction.

"Pamela and the others make me feel safe in the wilderness. That's very helpful. Now be satisfied with that."

"Words without a body."

Chloe dared not to take the look of Pamela, who bowed her head deeply. And now turn a little good bitter smile on Lattice.

"And Lattice, you didn't have to ask, but you did, didn't you?

Lattice smiles back.

"I'm sorry to bother you. But it's good to indulge in the competence of your Lord.

"I'm not saying it's bad, but it's also troublesome to be asked every time. Well, keep it on track."

"I'm scared."

After embarrassing his men, Chloe went back to work on her next operation.

He exhales gently when he sees Chloe and the others back as Rayna returns. Those who did not leave their cities came to meet them until they went out into the wilderness. Even though this occasion was raised, it was certain that further trouble would continue.

Turn your face towards Raina, who seems sorry that Siori is rude.

"Ma'am, I was just talking..."

"Oh, I'm fine. You don't have to try to explain."

Raina continues with a slight laugh at Siori, who looked a little surprised.

"I'm not sure, and it was something that bothered you, but you're still deciding it's better not to talk about it, right? That's fine then. I don't know what Siori is doing, but I'm pretty sure he's doing it for me (for), and just now he got his opponent in smoke for something I don't know. So I don't force myself to ask. I'll wait till you explain it properly."

…… Thank you. Sit down. "

Siori delighted at the trust from the Lord and carefully bowed her head as she smiled.

"So, what do we do now? Going around the ruins again?

"It will. But please wait here for a while. Arrangements have been made to obtain another location, including its guide. Based on that information, we'll set the next exploration route before we leave."

"Okay. Then take a break for a while."

"Yes."

When Rayna and the others saw the pickpockets, Kanae was nibbling. Siori looks slightly surprised when she realizes it.

"Kanae. What?

"No, it's nothing. Your daughter's grown up. I'm just impressed. And you're still close, you know, just a thought."

"... Hmm. Of course."

Raina and Siori show a slight illumination. Kanae was laughing with pleasure when she saw it.

And it came to pass, and a guide came, whom Cioli had told him. Rayna and the others are surprised to see them. That was Akira and the others.
