Rebuild World

Shiloh continues to work in the safe house with a rugged face. It seems to sit silently from the side (for), but I was doing a lot of manipulating the distant arithmetic apparatus via the old area and manipulating it without touching the high-performance information terminal at hand.

The analysis of the information received from Carol at the site of Mihazono Street, the gathering of information to escape the search by Yanagi Sawa and Harmers, and the acquisition of the actual Cologne and the many things to do were all difficult to navigate.

"... damn! This one's getting extremely high, too. This one has a lower rate with identification conditions. You're definitely turning your hands on the seemingly normal rate of this.... That much?!?

Cologne, also known as the currency of the old world, but there are many difficult parts to actually operate. Cologne used by ordinary people or by second-class hunters is not strictly Cologne, but is often Cologne as a regional currency in which the Unified Enterprise guarantees the same value as Cologne.

Even if you get a colon card with a large balance in the ruins, it is often difficult when it comes to whether the discoverer can actually use it. Most of the time, it is strictly tied to the owner by the technology of the old world. Unstringed items can be found quite a bit, but mostly for a small amount. If you try to pay someone for the existence of the Old World in another person's Cologne or something, they can treat you as illegal gold and refuse to trade, or they can kill you as you go.

And those who had the opportunity to actually use Cologne in the eastern part of the modern world used to call it the actual Cologne, which had become available to the existential counterparts of the old world without any problems.

The source of the actual Cologne is the five largest companies, generated by various means via the existence of the old world with which it deals. Perform some kind of money laundering on Cologne found in ruins, etc., and rewrite its owner. Transfer ownership by implementing procedures for owner death. Sell resources to Corporate Management Personality and get Cologne, where the owner is a Unified Enterprise. I am obtaining a real colon by such various means.

And even if the owner of the actual Cologne buys goods made in the Old World from the existence of the Old World, there are only a few who can actually do so. Because there is no telling of the existence of the old world in the first place. For this reason, even if the Cologne is acquired at any time, the method of its use is based on depositing the acquired Cologne in the Cologne account of the Unified Enterprise Union and buying it instead via the Agent of the Unified Enterprise Union, etc. It will of course (of course) turn into Cologne as a regional currency at the time it is placed in the account. Basically, I'm not going back to my original Cologne.

Only a limited number of people are able to negotiate the existence of the old world and monetary entanglement. Other than such, there is no difference between the so-called colon and the actual colon. I mean, there was a very big difference for Shiloh.

The 15 million colons that were set aside before the escape were real colons with strings attached to the shiloh, something that had been saving a little for a long time. Shiloh was going to use that to make deals with high-ranking hunters.

Shiloh's escape is naturally contrary to the intentions of downhill heavy industry. There is naturally a risk of being caught by downhill heavy industry when cooperating with the shiloh. As a result, hunters responding to dealings with Shiloh must be strong enough to consider even downhill heavy industry, and hunters enough to be associated with all five other major companies.

We need a deal in Cologne, not an aurum, with such a person. It would be even better if it were a real colon. If you are strong enough to turn downhill heavy industry against your enemies and get chased from the Orlam Economy to move your place of activity to the economies of the other five major companies, then it is no wonder that you have as much as a story of negotiations with the old world.

But the precious 15 million colones have been used up in payments to Olivia. This has made it impossible for Shiloh to hire front-line hunters, and has drastically lost the means to achieve his own ends. I was in a trial and error trying to get a real colon on the back route, but everywhere was in a state as if waiting for Shiloh's contact. As a result, Shiloh was pressing for a substantial review of the way he had achieved his goals.

"... I'm not giving up. It doesn't make any difference that this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. We have to do something..."

Shiloh suddenly raises his head as he continues to come up with the idea of rebuilding the plan with his head in the mood. An automated program designed to explore the trends of those who seek to find themselves has conveyed their concerns. Then I look at the contents and look at the suspicious face in a manner close to confusion.

"... why are these guys looking for me? Shit. What do we do?

Whether it should be ignored because it is a trap that tries to gently threaten to pull a hand or (some) yes, Shiloh begins to explore the subject carefully on his own rather than an automatic program while lost. Sometimes I was spotted on the old realm before, and I needed to dive deep and examine it carefully. The labor of the investigation was increasing because of the labor involved, and it was also hurrying Shiloh.

Chloe and the rest of the Rainas are heading for the city again. Siori was showing Rayna something as she drove, but remained silent because of the fact that she kept choosing the right words.

I can't ask if it was appropriate. Rayna, herself and Kanae were able to return safely by giving her the card. It's a good decision if it's a good or bad choice. But it wasn't so easy to break it off.

Rayna laughs and tells Siori how she feels.

"Just making a thread for negotiations with Master Olivia would be enough achievement to get me back over there, wouldn't it? Now let's be satisfied with that. Even if the feat is too great, it just creates extra trouble. Just like earlier."

"That's right..."

"Me, Siori and Kanae were safe. That's not good."

…… Yes. "

If that's what Raina says, Siori switched her mind.

Kanae, who is already back to her normal condition, slaps her lightly at her usual condition.

"But wasn't the best way to not see the Chloes? Lady. That was a failure there, wasn't it? Oh, shit. Did you take good care of that?

Siori tries to embarrass Kanae. But before that, Rayna answers lightly.

"That was a good one. It was just fine."

"... what do you mean?

"I didn't expect you to demand cards by so hard means, but I thought you'd put the right pressure on me."

Theori also pinches her mouth in a puzzling manner there.

"Does that mean you met with Lord Chloe with the intention of giving her the card from the beginning? But why such an attitude..."

"It's a tangle with Olivia. If you give it away easily, they might think you're underestimating the value of the card, right? I was going to give it to you, but I was going to stick to it until it got critical."

Kanae also laughs bitterly at the boulders.

"Oh, my lady. Too critical for boulders."

"I was going to surrender after just a little more stickiness, but it was even more sticky because of Kanae's mouth there. Well, it was definitely dangerous. But I'm glad it turned out to be really sticky enough up to Setouchi to show the value of the card."

Siori puts her hard work back on the table.

"Oh, my lady. I wanted you to talk to Boulder beforehand."

"I'm sorry. But you would have done the same thing with Siori, wouldn't you? So, Siori, from now on, explain it to me well in advance."

…… I'm in awe. "

Siori also laughed bitterly at the boulder. Mouth the questions that still remain while Kanae watches and enjoys how it goes.

"So, young lady. Why would I give you a card? Even if Lord Chloe tells me a mess later, I still feel like I should turn around there and not give you my card."

Siori also had the question, and I agree with you. Encourage Raina to explain with her gaze.

Rayna got a little lost in responding. Because I didn't think I would get full consent, either myself or in answer to that rationale. But I don't think there's anything I can do to deceive you, so I keep my mouth shut.

"Mm-hmm. I can't explain it well (well) because there are a lot of parts of it that look like a survey around there, but I felt like I should have let go of that card as soon as I could. But you see, if you let go of the card for no good reason because of Olivia's entanglement, you'd underestimate its value, wouldn't you? Based on that neighborhood, it was just fine. So, why did you want to let go of the card..."

That's where Rayna puts on a difficult face that also looks like a bitter laugh.

"What do you mean, that card is enough to make even Akira reluctant to possess it? Don't you think we should let it go?

With just that explanation, Siori and Kanae's face also turned into something as complex as Raina's expression. A glorious card that, if used well, would create immense power seems to be a substitute for a very dark woe. Including the fact that it was not easy to let go, for some reason, it seemed like a curse that could not be thrown away and would come back on its own even if it was thrown away.

"Does it depend on Chloe's future whether or not your daughter's concerns are a concern? Oh, you're starting to have a little fun!

Is the Lord's concern correct? Kanae was laughing joyfully in anticipation of a lot of things.

Chloe was coming to the basement of the facility with a card. It is the location of the coordinates previously connected by Akira to Lyons Tail of the Old World in the basement of the Higalaka Residential District Ruins Hall. It is now a room like a laboratory. The old area connection apparatus was rearranged at the original coordinates, and the position where it stood at the time of connection was marked with an easy to understand (yasu) mark.

Chloe is not an old realm connector. However, if the corresponding augmented reality device is fitted here, it can be connected to the former Lyons Tail Company via the old area connection device. You can also communicate with Olivia by using a combination of cards.

Chloe is also nervous about boulders. Not just because Olivia is the existence of the Old World, but because Alice, who can be called the representative of her company and the administrator of the clan, is the immediate counterpart to the negotiations. If you buy an unhappiness, your position within the company will end. But on the contrary, if we can get in well and become a dedicated negotiating point with Olivia, it's possible that even Alice will become a concerned person. It was a great opportunity to bet enough.

Exhale and relieve tension, ready to put up cards. A communication request to Olivia reaches Old Lyons Tail via the old realm connection device. Then Olivia's figure quickly appeared in Chloe's expanded vision.

Chloe bows her head deeply.

"My name is Chloe and I belong to the Eastern District III branch of Lyons Tail. On instructions from the representative of Alice, I have contacted you to advise you to facilitate negotiations with Olivia. Thank you for your time."

Chloe wandered with her face up after a polite greeting. Olivia looked pretty uncomfortable. Chloe quickly reconfirmed her words and actions to the look of her opponent, who should never be in a bad mood. But I couldn't find any elements to piss them off. Continue with less haste.

"I apologize if I called you out in the middle of a busy day. Would it be better to change the opportunity?

"Calling me for stolen goods is a good imitation."

Chloe's upset increases with unexpected replies.

"And stolen goods? No, never..."

The relics of the old world that hunters take home from the ruins are basically stolen from the perspective of the old world side. Whether it was something that slept in an abandoned warehouse, broken over time, or left unattended forever, there is no difference that it was brought out without the owner's permission. If the security system in that place were alive, it would be driven around by a security machine now known as a monster, and in some cases killed.

But some artifacts are not treated as stolen goods. In the light of what has been distributed free of charge since the time of the Old World, or the laws of that time, it is treated as virtually losing ownership. Chloe recognized the cards as such. Or (yes) Olivia had decided that she valued those who actually held the cards without focusing on the ownership of the cards, etc. Otherwise, there's no way Raina and the others who made contact with Olivia to negotiate with Alice are still alive. That's what I was thinking. That's why I took the card with all my strength.

But Olivia tells him with a cruel, cold gaze and voice.

"The card is not yours. Strict measures must also be implemented as a company with regard to the unauthorized use of cards. I should have declared that to my predecessor."

While understanding that Chloe is in a very unpleasant (first) situation, she tries to deduce the history from Olivia's words to solve the misunderstanding. I don't think Raina and the others have the power to get the cards on their own. If you had all that power, you'd be back in the clan a long time ago. Impossible. Though I think so, based on the current situation, I proceed with the conversation with Tsujitsu (Tsujitsu) based on that unlikely assumption.

"At the time of our successful contact with Olivia, we recognized that the card was obtained by legitimate means. We also recognize that the ownership of objects obtained by our persons in the course of their business rests with us. Therefore, even if used by another company affiliate, we do not recognize that it is a company loan and a stolen product. I sincerely apologize if I bought the discomfort due to that perception. But please understand that Olivia was never deliberately called in an unjust manner."

But Olivia also completely denies that Chloe managed to match Tsujitsu.

"The owner of that card is not a person named Ciori in the first place. After considering how it was transferred from its original owner, I'm just temporarily acquiescing as a loan permit that I basically don't approve of. Another loan is out of the question. Therefore, you (you) are not allowed to own or use it. Which means it's treated as a misuse of stolen goods."

Olivia's attitude is not alleviating shards. Chloe's impatience becomes more harsh.

"Oh, wait! If the owner of the card was Raina and given to Siori, I would not lend it again! The card came from Raina, not from Siori..."

"The owner of the card is not either Raina, Siori or Kanae, to whom you belong. He has nothing to do with your people."

"What!? Oh no!?"

Chloe tries to re-grasp the history with a nervous, calm, lacking head. But Tsujitsu didn't fit.

"That can't be! Even if Raina and her original owner, the old realm connectors, were asked to cooperate (for) to make contact with Olivia, and then gave up their cards, there is no record of any connection cooperation and consideration being given for the card transfer! It is solemnly controlled there, whether what you give it is gold or supplies!

"We have determined that the consideration of the card is consensual between the parties. The connection to me didn't come from the original holder of the card in the first place."

Chloe gets more and more confused with the newly obtained information.

"That card should not be available unless you are an old realm connector! If the owner of the card is not an old realm connector, who will use the card to connect to Olivia?!?

"It's me."

Hearing a suddenly sounding third party voice, Chloe's expression stains with amazement. Shiloh appeared in his expanded vision.

The men assisting Chloe in her connection work are watching the same footage and start making noise. The place rushes at once.

"What's going on!? External intrusion!?

"Stupid! It's a direct line to Lyons Tail in the Old World via the Old Realm!? That's what I can do..."

Tell Shiloh to be a little dumb.

"That's sweet. Even if the line is in the old area, if the terminal device or augmented reality device is modern, it can be interrupted that way. Security needs to be tight around here, right?

Olivia greets Shiloh lovingly in Chloe's sight.

"This is Master Shiloh. Thank you very much for using us the other day. Would you like to sit down today with an application for a new use?

The look of Shiloh's similarly uncomplicated thorax in Chloe's sight points to Olivia.

"I don't want to do that, but I have a budget for you, too. Sorry. So again."

"I'm scared. We look forward to using it. So what can I do for you today?

"No, that's the one I need."

When Shiloh puts his gaze back on Chloe and points to him, he turns a serious face.

"You guys are exploring me. What kind of copycat would you be looking for me after you found out I was a Sakashita Heavy Industries operative? Are you going to turn the downhill heavy worker against the enemy?

"Sa, downhill heavy industry? What do you mean!?

Chloe was confused when she was presented with one unknown piece of information after another. All of them lacked extra calm due to the fact that it was something that jeopardized their position.

Shiloh tongues in understanding his own lapse from Chloe's attitude. Siori and the others did not report themselves up (to) not to be hostile to the downhill heavy industry. Chloe and the others were just investigating their whereabouts as someone who was with Olivia, not the old realm connector who escaped from the downhill heavy industry. That's what I understood.

I regretted that I had done an extra imitation, but I immediately switched my mind as a good thing when I found out that I wasn't looking for myself by working with Harmers and the others, I warn them with deception.

"What. Didn't you know the end? Fair enough. Then stay the hell out of it. But my investigation is closed. Any further investigation is hostile to downhill. Stop inquiring about this downhill. I'm running a classified operation downhill. It's just gonna be handled as someone who finds out something extra. Bye."

Chloe hurries back to me and stops Shiloh.

"Wait!

"What?"

"Is this card yours?!? Did you cooperate with Rayna and the others have anything to do with that classified operation?

Shiloh gets slightly lost. Yes, I even thought about cutting the opponent's mind with the influence of downhill heavy industry, but when Olivia corrected me, I reconsidered that it was likely to be rubbing (too), emphasizing the irrelevance and switching in the direction of cutting interest (so).

"No. I just gave you a little help because of the circumstances over here. Even the poor, sensitive ones that can't be called old realm connectors looked like they could wander around the ruins looking for connection points that could be connected using cards. I can't wait for that, so I did it instead. That's all. That card was definitely from a hunter named Akira. Isn't it?

When Shiloh throws a confirmation at Olivia, Olivia is also quietly nodding and affirming.

"Exactly. It's definitely not someone else's."

"Because. You, you didn't even know that. You were using a card?

Shiloh had shown Chloe's attitude of being brave (ah) and dumb (awkward) in order (to) deviate from his search.

"I've done my warning. Don't look at me anymore. Bye."

Shiloh's figure disappears from Chloe's sight.

"Given the complexity of the information and Alice's men, let's not miss this misuse. We will take strict action next time. Okay, so am I."

Olivia's figure also disappeared from Chloe's sight.

Chloe stood up looking at her extended vision, where no one was anymore. And I try to collapse with hard work. Lattice and the others, who held it back, rushed to support it.

"Ma'am! Be careful!

Lattice kept Chloe asleep on the couch nearby. Chloe had no energy to wake herself up, but when she saw those who looked worried about herself, she shouted out instructions when she squeezed her remaining strength and woke up half of herself if she did not expose herself to any more sun.

"Check out a hunter named Akira! Right now!

He eats and ties his teeth as Chloe sees his men rushing out as directed. It was a huge breakdown. But it's not over yet. Yes, I decided on my mind and shook my weakness off my expression.

Thereafter, we proceeded to investigate the ownership of the card again, but it did not turn out to be Fang (Kanba). I contacted Rayna and the others once to ask what was going on, but it was completely ignored. Then I worked for the upper echelons of my own faction to get them to negotiate through the upper echelons of the Rayna faction, but Rayna and the others just gave me a simple reply that I had no right to answer.

It is more than a request via the company's top management, it is an order of the company. At a time when Raina and the others were defying that demand, and when it was allowed in the upper realm, Chloe couldn't get any more information from Raina and the others.

The status quo could have been avoided because if we had negotiated it out in good faith and got the cards, we would have gotten information from Raina as well. Chloe was put in a predicament for making the extreme choice of getting cards by being caught by greed and doing everything she could.

That's why Chloe had to go on a bet to get out of this predicament (to) and not give up a glorious future (to). For a very big bet, with only a big win or a big loss: an even more extreme choice.
