Rebuild World

257 Chloe's decision

When Akira and Raina were continuing their negotiations in the wilderness, Chloe held her head with a rugged look at Lyons Tail's facility.

"I screwed up...... I can't believe things are going to turn so fast in this short time."

After breaking up with Raina and the others at the ruins of Mihazono Street, Chloe tried to rearrange and re-gather information on the Raina and the others. But in the meantime, an urgent alert was received from senior Lyons Taylor that Alice was on her way here immediately.

Alice basically doesn't come out of her own building, which is called the headquarters, the Eastern headquarters. As long as there is nothing more to be done outside the city that is the governing company. In other words, not so much had happened before. In addition, a site response instruction from Alice to Olivia's case had appeared in branches around Kugamayama City. This was also unusual.

Chloe, in panic, immediately stopped collecting information from the Raynas and made every effort to gather information on Olivia's case. And from that information, we found out that Rayna and the others had successfully made contact with Olivia.

"Whatever you think, I just think I made contact right after that. Did Rayna do it to you... What's so hard about sailing? We're almost there. I didn't realize that. Me too..."

Lattice, who is also near Chloe's side, cares about the Lord but urges him.

"Ma'am. It's the same thing we didn't realize. Let's honestly commend her for her performance here. He also told the local people to respond to the instructions above. It's not necessarily up to them. And this is the wilderness. I was wondering if I had enough hands to salvage it."

I soon found out what Lattice was trying to say to Chloe, too. I worry about making my face even more rugged. But at a time when I was so distressed, it was equally true that I admitted that the hand was a fairly effective means and a good reason to exercise it, given the expected benefits.

And Chloe didn't want to miss a good opportunity that was in this sense uninterrupted either. I make decisions as prompted.

"Pamela, I'm sorry I flipped the foreword yesterday today, but I might need to do something quick. Get ready."

"I'm scared."

Pamela laughed and bowed her head respectfully.

The Higalaka Residential District ruins were already in an unstoppable state by calling them former ruins. Most of the ruins (hake) were dismantled as a result of the previous noise of discovery of the old area connecting device. No more hunters will stop by this place for relic collection purposes.

A Lyons Tail facility was built in the location where the large building (Yamato), the site of the discovery of the old area connection device, was located. Not enough to call it a huge facility, but a big building with a pretty big lot of grounds.

It is inherently quite difficult to build this hand facility in the wilderness. In addition to removing the surrounding abandoned houses, debris, etc., it is also necessary to expel a bunch of monsters for safety reasons. Carriage of building materials also requires an escort alerted to monster raids, at a cost of Song (Kasa).

For this reason (for this reason), if you want to build a large number of new facilities, but there is no vacant land in the city, it is usually built on the side of the city (soba). And the land between the city and the facility strengthens the connections (twins) due to logistics and other influences, which means that a relatively well-developed path is laid, and people begin to gather around it, expanding the subdivisions of the city one by one.

But at the time of the construction of this Lyons Tail facility, Lyons Tail had to do minimal work to remove the ruins and sweep the monsters thanks to the hunters looking for the old realm connections. Escorts during the transport of building materials were also able to significantly reduce costs by involving hunters travelling to and from Kugamayama City and Higalaka Residential District ruins.

As long as there is near-finished land and perimeter safety, and building materials, the architecture itself can be short-term thanks to advanced architectural techniques that apply the technology of the old world. The benefit made the Lyons Tail facility a solid building equipped with defenses for the wilderness.

Raina and the others were on their way to the facility through a paved path for a newly laid vehicle in the former site. Because that's where Chloe called me.

Ask looking at the sight of the place where Raina was a site around.

"Hey Siori. Do you know why the company built a new facility in a place like this? I wouldn't even call it a redevelopment of the ruins, but you built a pretty big facility, right?

"I heard the company got the old realm connecting device that was previously discovered here. Apparently, it was built to be used by the company after the device was re-installed in its original location. When the device of that hand moves excessively from the original coordinates, some restrictions are placed on communication, etc. for safety reasons. Well, to that extent, I think a simple facility would suffice, but that would be another reason why it's become such a big deal."

"Another reason?

"Relocation or foreclosure of another building plan. Coordination between factions due to changes in long-term business plans. There's a lot more. Because if a new large-scale facility is created in your area, the rights and powers of local personnel will also change."

"Oh, that's the thing"

Rayna looked a little troublesome. Siori's desire is to have herself quit hunter or something and go back to her parents' house. I know that, too, Rayna. And I also know that I've finished earning enough credit to make the clan recognize that in one case with Olivia. So I also know that I will be encouraged somewhat within it.

But it is also, in a way, to throw oneself into factional strife between clans that never needed to be involved at all until now. Rayna didn't really feel comfortable going back to her parents, including that struggle.

Both Raina and Siori knew somehow what their thoughts were over the years of dating. We were moving on thinking about how to convince each other. That's where Kanae speaks out.

"Sister (ah). Please stop."

From Kanae's tone, Siori stops the car and then asks back.

"What's going on?

"If we keep going like this, it might suck a little"

That's what Kanae said and pointed to the square in front of the facility's entrance and exit. The square is large enough that even large vehicles with wilderness specifications can be stopped (and), and multiple vehicles are actually stopped (and). But it was arranged so as not to interfere with the passage of the Rainas, and moreover waited for the butlers and maids, supposedly of Chloe's men, to greet Rainas side by side, left and right.

It is not unnatural to think that we are welcoming (to) a bit of a grand reception to welcome and take in the meritorious people who have successfully made contact with Olivia. But Kanae expresses another concern.

"Something is very welcome, but it doesn't seem to me that the direction of that welcome is going to be easy."

Siori also looks forward in a strange way. Ahead of the butler and maid lined up left and right, Chloe followed Pamela and Lattice and waited. The position is that Chloe and the others are better off than Raina and the others. Turning back here is disrespectful. And even if Kanae's concern was right, it's just a concern at the moment.

"... lady. How would you like it? Do you want to turn back?

"Fine. Go on."

To Rayna's immediate response, Siori also looks slightly surprised.

"... is it appropriate?

"I'm just gonna give you an extra excuse to turn back here."

…… I'm in awe. "

Seeing Rayna showing confidence that she could afford it, Siori also pulled her mind together and moved the car forward.

Chloe tried to give instructions to the Lattices when she saw that Raina and the others had stopped once at the end of her sight. But I stopped watching Rayna and the others start moving right away.

Pamela, who was prefetching Chloe's instructions, also discontinues tracking instructions to her subordinates and switches to the original placement instructions.

"You seem to know where they stand."

Chloe answers with a laugh.

"If you don't have to use quick means, it's a good thing. Was Pamela sorry?

"No, nothing like that"

Get ready quickly for Lattice and Pamela to invite Rayna and the others. Tables and chairs are assembled and drinks are prepared on elegant tablecloths. When Chloe sat in the chair, she waited for Rayna to sit in the empty seat across the street.

Raina and the others, who parked their cars nearby, come to the side of the table. Chloe urges Rayna to take a seat by hand. Sometimes the figure was that Chloe was wearing upper-class clothes and Raina was wearing made-up clothing-style combat clothes, as was the figure of her master inviting her squire back after finishing the Lord's life.

Shiori slightly distorts his face in an unpleasant way. Kanae also has a bitter laugh. But Rayna got to her seat lightly without looking concerned. Chloe and Raina face each other with their squire behind their back.

"So, what do you want me to call you? I told you before, I'm busy."

"It's because of you. Not as busy as yesterday, I suppose?

"Still, I'm so busy trying to get this errand done quickly."

"Yes."

Chloe observes Rayna still. The attitude of spare time is vanity or fact, even when treated as a servant, it does not move angrily, but it does not appear to suck. Is that an expression of the mind that tries to live as a hunter by cutting off his return to the clan, or because he has gained some firm conviction that he feels something (a teaspoon) like this level of harassment? As Chloe, he tried to explore it with the eyes of a man cultivated in a power struggle within the clan.

But I didn't know.

"What's wrong? If you just keep quiet, can I go home?

That's what Raina asked me. Chloe switches her mind. I don't know. I haven't had days where I can't negotiate with someone I don't know. Tell yourself so and move on.

"Rayna seems busy too, so I was just trying to figure out a way to save her time. But if you're so busy, let's get this over with as quickly as we asked."

And laugh and tell.

"White card"

"I have trouble being told just those words..."

"Give it to me."

The short words contained a willingness to be close to the threat of saying it was no longer necessary, such as an extra read and seek.

Alice has instructed me to respond locally to Olivia's case, but no one at the local Lyons Tail Company can contact Olivia on their own. Alice didn't delegate a response to Raina and the others either. In other words, the person holding the card for contact will be the person in charge of this case.

It is possible to even call Alice, the company's representative. And this job, which in a way can also be described as risking the fate of the company, was greatly stimulating the interest and greed of the clans working within the Orlam economy.

Siori speaks out unexpectedly to what can be described as a tyranny to hand over the cards that are needed.

"Dear Chloe! That's too much for a boulder..."

"Shut up."

I tell you with a gaze that Chloe is making a fool of herself somewhere towards Siori with a rugged face.

"This is a discussion between the clans. Can you keep your parents and outsiders out of your mouth?

Siori closed her mouth by eating and tying all the back teeth. Even as a difference in original position, Siori is not in a position to tell Chloe. In addition, if you speak out as a guardian, it becomes an affront to Raina, who is desperately trying to stand as the Lord. Both of them dampened my inner fervour.

Chloe smiled somewhere satisfied when she saw how the Siori was doing. She returned her gaze to Raina. Rayna exhales lightly.

"In return?

"You can lend me a very large loan."

"I don't think it's very much what I matched?

"Wait slowly around there. Well, when I'm the head of the faction, and eventually I'm the branch manager of the Aurum Economy, and I'm the head of the head office as it is, I'll keep you close to me. That's enough in return, right?

If you know what's going on inside Lyons Taylor, it's what you usually judge to be a big language near paranoia. However, it is also achievable if there is a rare (rare) talent of its kind and an opportunity to bring it to life. And Chloe was seriously answering. Even if it were self-loving, it would not pave the way for those who were not prepared to climb high without questioning their talents. Because I understand that.

Rayna also decided that Chloe's words had no lies. Answer on that.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll get much in return for saying that. It's not going to match the demand to give me the card."

Chloe sharpens her expression once. Whether you decide there's no way you can do that, or if you can, it means it's not enough, try to stare at them and find them. But I didn't know. And whatever the reason, the word to go on was set.

"Yes, even if they say so, I need to add a different consideration (to match). For example, you can get home safely from here."

The signs of Rayna and Chloe remain the same. But the signs of his servants changed dramatically. Siori has a very harsh look on her face and Kanae laughs somewhere fun. Lattice looks quietly at him and smiles (cheeks) as if Pamela was waiting. Those who welcomed the Rainas left and right side by side had already repositioned each of them to cut off the exit of the Rainas.

As the squire shaped the pressing atmosphere, only those who sat as Lord were facing each other unchanged.

It makes Rayna look a little unexpected.

"You use a lot of abusive means. Before I knew it, did the inside of the wall get so noisy that I normally used such quick means too?

Chloe smiles lightly and gives it back.

"You just don't know it. It's been a long time, right? However, there is no need to put a full battle out of your mouth and show it to you because of the difference in the power you hold. Didn't you know?

"I didn't know. Thank you. I've learned."

"How are you doing? Well, then, I'm just finishing my studies, and can you let me hear a clever reply that shows you the results of your studies?

Rayna is silent. Chloe is also silently awaiting a response. But Chloe continues around where the silence has continued for a while.

"If that silence seems to last for an extra long time, I have to judge that as a silent refusal?

Rayna remained silent. Chloe's smile disappears.

"Yes."

Chloe doesn't like rough things either. But I will exercise it if necessary. And the rights, profits, and powers that would have been created by the passage with Olivia were fully satisfied with the need to kill Rayna but take her card. I thought they knew about it, too, but if they didn't, they couldn't help it. That's what I decided.

That's where Kanae pinches his mouth.

"Oh, let me tell you something, if I get my hands on your daughter, I'll kill her."

Chloe smiles slightly at that slight attitude.

"It's rude that a fourth-grade maid of honor would kill a clan member. There's no education at all."

"No, I can't do that around here. That's bad."

Chloe showed herself to Kanae's utterly unwieldy demeanor.

"Lattice. Pamela. She's going to kill me, though?

Lattice answers with a confident voice.

"Rest assured. It's impossible."

Pamela also answers with a smile.

"She can't do it. Leave it to us."

Chloe nodded (nodding) softly, satisfied with the Lattice and the others' replies, returning her gaze to Kanae.

"That's the thing. That's not even a threat. Well, if you're serious, don't worry, I'll let you die with me."

Kanae was still laughing with pleasure. But when he suddenly distorted his smile, he put his hand on his face to hold his head and exhaled heavily.

"... no, you really can't. I really don't want to change my sexual roots. I was told not to enjoy my work in my teaching years, but I really prioritize having fun. But, you know, I have to seal my personal feelings here and prioritize my work."

Canae's signs change. The smile disappears and turns into something cruel and cold, making a cruel and cold voice as he turns his gaze toward Chloe and the others.

"If you get your hands on Lady Raina, I'll kill you"

Chloe couldn't ignore that voice on the boulder.

Lyons Tail Corp. solicits potential children from various parts of the east, mainly poor areas, to train them as maids and deacons and send them to individuals and organizations. Children raised in in-house educational institutions are graded according to their abilities. Competent persons are seconded to executives of large companies, etc. Those there will be assigned to the place there.

And grade 4 is the lowest rating, and the treatment of inferior students who cannot be dispatched outside due to lack of ability. Naturally, the treatment within the company is also reasonably poor.

Siori and Kanae were also in this fourth grade. But I didn't rank four simply because I'm incompetent. This is the late four-level rating that was considered ineligible overall.

Lyons Tail values loyalty to its company. Because Alice decided not to need a competent traitor or anything in the process of letting humans do the work she was supposed to do with automated dolls. You (more) have also been saved from a very poor environment. Employees are basically grateful to the company, and most people have loyalty to the company, so it's no problem.

But Siori concentrated his loyalty on an individual named Raina, not his own. Internal educational institutions viewed this as a problem and Ciori as a four-level rating.

Kanae was perceived as having a problem with her attitude towards her work. I tend to overmix my personal feelings with my work and enjoy it, and it seems to expect escorts to be attacked (for) to enjoy it even if I get escorted, I took it as a four-level rating as no matter how competent I was to talk about it.

Two maids were also attached to Raina, who was kicked out of the wall, albeit of the clan, for the reason that it was the one with the problem of evaluation.

But there are no elements in Kanae that are significantly underestimating themselves today. In a way, it showed its will to take down the reward of life (there is) that had previously taken precedence over its own life, not to play, not to enjoy, and to quickly and accurately eliminate enemies with optimal solutions to cruel (awful) boring tasks.

Chloe wandered slightly inside as Kanae changed. However, we do not imitate it to the surface. He tells his face with a slight smile.

"You think you can win with that?

"You will surely kill"

It was a subtle conversation that did not bite (or match) in the words spoken, but whoever heard it fully understood the intent.

As long as Kanae gives Chloe's murder the highest priority, Lattice and the others must prioritize Kanae's murder and Chloe's escort in order (to) Chloe's survival. Only for that matter will Raina's response fall behind. I don't have time to capture Raina and threaten Kanae by saying if the Lord's life is spared, etc. With such a long imitation, Chloe is at increased risk of being killed only for the amount of manpower she's given.

Later, it would be nice if Siori took Raina out while Kanae was dealing with the Lattices. I also have Kanae about to die and to be separated from my job. That's the same for the Lattices.

But Chloe doesn't have it. Chloe must give priority to her survival.

"Lattice. Pamela. Though she says so?

"Rest assured. It's impossible."

"She can't do it. Leave it to us."

Lattice and the others replied the same as before. But it wasn't the same until my attitude: I completely erased the underestimation caused by prejudice that I had unconsciously remembered because I was a fourth-level person, and turned my sharp gaze of murder on Kanae with a serious expression, releasing intimidation with just enough strength to stand on the side (by the side) as Chloe's side.

Siori hangs her hand on the knife. I haven't unplugged it, but I'm ready. Lattice and the others can help with each piece of gear. All of our men are in a state of war. Later it begins if the Lord shows his will to engage.

The silence of the Lord continues. But this time Chloe was extending her silence. The cards are worth taking, even if they kill Rayna and the others. It's also worth gaining by risking your own life or paying the sacrifices you make out of killing each other. But it's also about winning. I don't think Lattice and the others are lying. But the words of Kanae did not lie. There is no doubt that one of them is wrong, and if the Lattices were wrong to make sure of it, they would die. That fear had dulled and delayed Chloe's decision.

"That's it. Stop."

And Raina broke the silence. As everyone's gaze gathers, take out the card and place it on the table and let it slide towards Chloe.

This eliminated any reason to kill each other. The atmosphere of battle is solved. But instead, there began to be some confusing atmosphere. Only Rayna remained calm in it.

"That's good. Then I'm going home. Siori. Kanae. Let's go."

"Oh, my God."

"Oh, I see."

Siori and Kanae, a little confused, try to follow Raina as she tries to get back in her seat. That's where Chloe stops Rayna.

"If you were going to give it to me, you should have just given it to me, right? What were you imitating?

Raina stops and turns around gently.

"I hesitated to give it to the boulder. Other than that, you need a reason?

"... yes. Sort of good. I gave it to you honestly. If you're a lender, wait and see."

"I don't need that. Don't take it personally."

"What do you mean?

Rayna tells you with a tough look somewhere.

"If you don't like cards, they threatened me with killing even Siori and Kanae. That's why I gave it to him. Don't lend it to me, don't make a deal on your own. Bye."

Rayna walks away. Siori and Kanae followed Raina in some delightful way.

Chloe exhaled heavily as Rayna and the others disappeared from sight. And when I notice the cold sweat I was flushing, I wipe it with a natural trick.

"... I ask you again, even if you were fighting, you were winning, right?

Lattice answers with a light thank you.

"Of course (of course) I will sit down. However, it is not easy to say that the boulder is intact. Please understand."

Pamela answers respectfully, too.

"Naturally, we will be the ones who suffer the wound. The lady will be unharmed and protected. Rest assured."

Chloe nodded contentedly. And switch your mind and look at the card. The white card praised itself with its brilliance and seemed as if it was illuminating the future.

"Oh, no problem. Well, I'll admit he was a tough opponent for someone who got kicked out of the wall."

Chloe laughed and took the Lattices back to the facility to dance the cards.
