Rebuild World

Akira, who broke up with Kibayashi, stopped his motorcycle around the area where he had proceeded tentatively in the opposite direction from Kugamayama City. Hiding behind the wreckage of ruins, he exhales.

"Looks like the boulder hasn't targeted you yet.... right?

Alpha laughed and snorted.

"Most hunters won't even know that the prize money was still hanging on Akira. I'll be fine for a while. Calm down and think about what's coming. '

"Right."

The hunter's office notifies the surrounding hunters when the prize money is hung on the monster. This allows the hunters to get that information passively. But that won't happen if the prize money is hung by humans. This is because the prize holder negotiates with the prize holder to have the prize withdrawn, etc. (because).

As soon as we find out about the new human prize neck. It is nevertheless necessary to actively examine it, so it takes longer for the information to spread than is known by simultaneous notification. That time is a respite.

In the case of Yo (more) and Akira, monster certification is also received together, so notices are flying to security companies that are partnered with Kugamayama City, etc. It's only a matter of time before Akira's information reaches out to some hunters. Additionally, Akira had no shards (shards), such as the idea of having the prize money withdrawn in negotiations.

Beyond being able to return to the city, Akira's life is based on wilderness and wilderness. The duration is also unclear, and monsters should be careful until hunters strike at them.

How to get over the moment. If Akira continues that consultation with Alpha, Carol will send a notification to Akira's hunter code. The contents were the connection cord to the secret line. Akira meets Alpha face-to-face, gets a little lost, and then connects.

"Akira. Looks like you're safe. Good for you."

"Carol. What can I do for you?

"Leave my escort alone without a busy explanation. What can I do for you? There isn't, right?

When I hear Carol's slightly angry voice, Akira looks at me like some piece of it looks bad.

"Uh, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry, and there was a lot going on."

"I don't have a choice. But now you've settled down enough to get in touch like this, haven't you? Let's meet once and talk."

Akira makes her expression look a little rough and opens it slightly before answering.

"... No, actually, there's a lot going on after that, and that's kind of hard..."

Carol tells Akira in a serious tone that she tries to say no with proper deception.

"If you've rubbed with Lyons Tail and become a 50-billion-orum prize neck and won a monster certification from Kugamayama City, I know."

Akira shuts her mouth unexpectedly. There were signs of eloquent vigilance in that silence. I guessed that. Carol continues.

"I'm telling you, I don't have any shards that are hostile to Akira. I don't believe it. I can't believe we met and talked in person. If that's what you're gonna say, it doesn't matter what you talk about anymore. Cut the call."

So Carol shut up, too. Some tense, painful silence ensues. And a minute later, Akira exhaled lightly.

"Okay. I'll see you."

So the air relaxed. Carol also returns a tone of relief.

"Thank you. Then how do we meet? You don't really want to wander around the wilderness, do you? Tell me if there's a good way. I'll go with that. If not, I'll think of it myself."

"Right..."

Akira decided with Carol how to meet, consulting with Alpha behind the scenes.

"Okay. I'll see you later, then.... Akira"

"What?"

"Believe me, I was happy."

Carol was happy to tell him so and cut the call.

Alpha looks slightly surprised by Akira's unexpected look.

"Akira. Was it good? It's 50 billion aurum? Though I think it's a wonderful amount to be blinded by gold later and change my mind."

Akira laughs slightly bitterly.

"Well, maybe that's the case with the regular one. But Carol's the one with 10 billion aurums a night, and if it's about five times that, it's gonna be okay, right?

Akira didn't completely believe Carol either. But I was able to control my suspicions to such an extent that I avoided unnecessarily questioning them.

"I wouldn't deny that idea, but I definitely wouldn't, would I?

"There hasn't been anything like that anywhere since the beginning. And Kibayashi told me not to inadvertently kick the bargain."

Akira, which was the prize neck of 500 billion orum, is likely to be negotiated with Akira for a variety of purposes, including power struggles within Kugamayama City, between Lyons Tail branches, and even negotiators who undertake demonstration negotiations. If we can control those negotiations well, we'll buy enough time. So don't unconditionally refuse to negotiate. I don't mind throwing it to myself if it's a hassle. Akira was told that by Kibayashi.

"Well, I didn't expect to hear from you so soon. I knew him for once, and he's the guy I was hired to be a while ago, and now he's got Alpha, and he'll be fine."

I can also argue that my thoughts are sweet. But when they told me I was okay because I was there, I couldn't even tell them that Alpha wasn't working. A little bittersweet, but somewhere happy, smiling (cheering) to forgive the other person's self.

'You don't have a choice. Minimum vigilance shall be maintained. That's good, huh?

To Alpha, who laughs and pushes precautions, Akira also laughs and returns.

"I know. All right. Let's go."

Akira ran the bike again for the rendezvous with Carol.

Carol was running a wilderness spec large camper west of the ruins of Mihazono Street. Continue straight (momentarily) in the setting of the sun at dusk, choosing a terrain easily accessible to even large cars.

The onboard enemy equipment shows a monster-like reaction in the surrounding area, but it does not appear to be approaching due to distance from the target or noisy signs specific to wilderness specifications large cars. A sudden reaction appeared near the vehicle as I continued to drive thinking there was nothing wrong with the condition.

Shortly after Carol realizes it and heightens her vigilance, Akira's voice reaches the vehicle in short-range communication.

"It's me. It's Akira."

Akira was ahead of Carol's moving route before turning off her own reaction by Alpha's support. The camouflage function of the fortified clothing was used to erase the body, and the Force Field Armor, the deployed force field armor of the motorcycle, had been slightly generated to distract it into the surrounding terrain. In addition, Alpha's enemies made sure no one followed Carol's trail before uncamouflaging and driving the bike toward Carol's vehicle.

"Open the rear door of the vehicle without stopping."

"Okay."

Carol opened the rear door, which was in storage space, as she switched the car to autopilot and moved to the rear of the vehicle.

At the same time that the door opens enough, Akira, who is biking through the wilderness, jumps into the car for each bike. Immediately the door closed tightly to block information with the outside world.

"Akira. Welcome home. Shall I gear up Akira first before I say take a rest... I'll help."

The campers are loaded with Akira's spare ammunition, etc. Sometimes I was planning on continuing Carol's escort with an indeterminate deadline, bringing in just a ton for that matter.

"Right. Sorry."

Gear up while Akira gets Carol to help. Refill the gun with bullets and load the bike with spare ammunition. Replace the energy pack of the gun and fortified clothes, and also the energy tank of the motorcycle. Replace the blade blade as well and refill the motorcycle's armed liquid metal. Take extra healing pills, get a drink from Carol, moisten her throat, and exhale heavily. Now what I consumed after being attacked by the ruins of Mihazono Street has recovered.

"Akira. Why don't you take a bath before we talk about anything?

"Bath?"

"Yes. Bath. You must be tired of all this, huh? This could be a long story. I'm tired of hanging out with you."

"No, that's not it..."

"Besides, Akira can't even stay in the Inn because she can't go back to the city, right? This could be our last chance, if we're bad, right?

Advise Akira, who inadvertently stopped the words, as Carol naturally does.

"Oh, I'm telling you, if you think it's okay to go to another city nearby, that's a sweet idea, huh? Most cities have reciprocal defense agreements with neighboring cities, so they might show difficulty getting in on the grounds that they're monster certified by Kugamayama City."

He was chased where his heart was shaken heavily, and Akira's face became lost and distorted. It was very important for Akira, who became accustomed to life taking a bath every day. Still, after getting greatly lost pinching a few seconds of silence, he made a bitter decision.

"Yes, no, let's get this over with. I don't know what it is. I'll finish what I came here for first."

"Really? Well, let's talk over there"

Carol heads to the living room in the car. Akira followed with more concern now that she might have speeded up her decision.

Akira and the others sit across from the living room and start sharing information on the current situation. Carol asked Viola to keep the information she got looking exactly like Akira. Viola herself wanted to know about Akira, and in a short time she was looking into it as much as possible.

In that information, the battle between Akira and Chloe was described as an abrupt development stemming from the breakdown in the negotiations for the transfer of relics between Hunter and the Eastern District III branch of Lions Tail. This is a situation that remains between the hunter who discovered a valuable artifact in the ruins and the company who really wants to obtain the artifact, and does not make outsiders suspect the alteration of records, etc. In other words, it was also information that other than the parties were judged to be so.

And Akira told Carol about the history of the battle with Chloe and the others without normally hiding them. Carol shows considerable surprise when she hears that.

"... did you rub that much to see if you could lend me that card? Even though the card itself didn't have Akira anymore? Whoever had the card at that time had nothing to do with Akira because of the internal rubbing of Lyons Tail? I just said I would normally lend it to you in the first place, even though I got a lot of money and a loan to Lyons Tail?

"... yes, I am"

Carol laughs at Akira, who is a little grumpy.

"I'm sorry if I pissed you off. I didn't mean to say anything bad about Akira. I mean, the weirdly inconvenient part about that, the extremely honest part about the contract if you give me the back, and I love the annoying part about Akira like that, right? In a way, it means I can trust you."

"Oh well."

Akira was a little confused by Carol, who seemed in a good mood. I have no regrets about what I did, but if it's a normal feeling, I have some awareness that I just badly imitated it. Having appreciated that for a long time, I felt something similar from Carroll to Kibayashi's attitude, which I was in a good mood to laugh at, and was blown away by some memorable dissatisfaction, etc.

"Well, you've shared the premise information. Shall we get down to business then? Well, the story itself is simple, and I just want Akira to keep my escort going."

Akira's face is confused and distorted. I understood what was said, but I did not understand what was said. I rebuke (solder) what was said in my head, ask myself if there are any mistakes in hearing or perceptions (just), doubtless reiterate that I am asked to continue escorting, and put a little confusion on my face.

"... no, wait, I'm a bounty neck right now, and that's also 50 billion aurum is a lot of money, and I'm in a position to be targeted by hunters and stuff?

"I know."

"If you do anything to escort me in that state, you'll get caught up in it, right?

"I guess."

"I can't get into the city because of a monster certification from Kugamayama City, and I'm hostile to a big company called Lyons Tail, right?

"I know. You know, Akira. You just shared the information around here, didn't you? I've got it all figured out, and I'm asking for it."

Akira inadvertently stopped speaking in a situation she understood but could not. And further aggravate the perplexity, and put it short in his mouth.

"... why?

I have no idea what I intend to do with myself right now. Carol remained calm, as opposed to Akira, who was lightly wolfy with it everywhere on her face.

"Well, why, besides what you mean by asking yourself to escort you, what you mean by wanting me to elaborate a lot on the background and so on, even if I answer in detail, I won't cut it, so I'll wrap it up and answer. After figuring out all the disadvantages of asking Akira to escort me, I decided that Akira would nevertheless have the greater advantage of being protected. That's why I'm asking you to keep escorting me."

Carol embarks on Akira with a serious face.

"So, what do you say? Continuation of the escort, will you take it?

Akira was aware that she lacked a little peace. I try to sort out my confused head and ask questions. But before that, Carol stabs me with a nail.

"I'll tell you first, if the reason you can't get a request is because taking on a guard in a bounty neck condition just involves a escort subject, so you can't take it, take it if my disadvantage in that hand is the reason. Like I said, I'm asking for it."

Akira is silenced when she is crushed after wrapping up what she was about to hear. More Carol continues.

"If you can't take it because of Akira's disadvantages, I'll give in if I can, too. Anything? Tell me if you do. Negotiate for a match."

Akira considered the disadvantages of taking on an escort. But it didn't come to mind except that it involves Carol. Conversely, Carol tells me the disadvantages.

"There are certainly more disadvantages to foot wrapping than escorting me. But that means I'm gonna fight with you, too. Can't you offset that? I'm only going to check my gear, so I don't think I'm going to get that far. At least it shouldn't be enough to blow the benefits of continuing my escort, should it?

And Carol smiles and talks about the benefits if Akira continues to escort her.

I act with Carol so naturally I can use a camper. Even if you stay in the wilderness, you can still sleep in a bath or a soft bed. Food, spare ammunition, etc. can also be packed in large quantities in vehicles. Even if you wander the wilderness for a long period of time, there is a difference in daily living standards between traveling by bike and traveling by cloud mud.

High-performance anti-foe devices mounted on Carol's camper can also be used in terms of safety. The armor of the vehicle is a few steps above the bike. Even in battle, it would be better to have Carol help than Akira alone, either with simple fire or tactics. It's a good thing.

Akira did not differ from those explanations at all. But still, yes, then, I couldn't convince myself to continue with the escort request. She had a more suspicious face than Ning and showed difficulty in color.

Carol also smiles at the boulder (that's right).

"As far as I'm concerned, I meant to bring a great story, and that's why I called Akira with confidence, but what's wrong?

Akira had also shown an understanding of the grievance, and had distorted her face somewhere in a bad way.

"No, I know what a great story is, too."

"So what are you unhappy about?

Carol said that and stared at Akira with a serious face. There was a slight infiltration of anxiety and anxiety in his face.

The reason Akira can't shake her neck vertically is because Carol's story is too convenient for her. And instead of honestly accepting the convenience as good luck, I was wary that it was some kind of trap.

Do you want to get confirmation from Alpha? I also thought about Akira, but I stopped. I'll judge for myself a little bit. When I was deceived, I was just a fool. I had originally taken on Carol's escort with that idea, and Akira was trying to figure it out for herself.

Akira's thought time extends only as much as she thinks on her own without throwing judgment at Alpha. Carol gets a little more anxious and frightened by that silence. And after pinching more silence, Akira noticed Carol's expression, realizing she was thinking too much.

"Carol."

"Hey, what?

"Let me just hear this. I'm the kind of guy who can hang a 50-billion-orum prize for killing people in that company after doing what I would never normally do to kick a bargain with a big company like Lyons Tail, but do you really want me to keep asking those guys to escort me? I don't care if you get caught up in some weird commotion by asking for an escort, if that's not my fault. I also ask for it after a proper thought around it. That's what you said before, isn't there a limit? Are you sure about this?

If you judge your own series of actions objectively and perhaps by general values, you undoubtedly did just classify them as crazy people. Akira understood that too, and about that awareness. I'm aware, but I just can't stop myself.

That's why I just thought Akira had some sort of back, such as asking that self to escort her. But telling it the way it is is is the same as saying you can't believe Carol. Even in the bend shape, Akira is here believing in Carol. At least I'm deciding I'm not supposed to do harm, not my own enemy.

And I understand it's no use telling you to tell me everything behind you. Carol has already told me that the circumstances behind what happened are not such as to turn myself against the enemy.

I can't trust you unconditionally. But if it's conditional, you might be able to trust it. Akira was daring (ah) to ask Carol suspiciously, as she asked for the terms.

On the other hand, Carol, questioned so suspiciously, gave it back with a slightly unexpected look on her face.

"You cared about that? It's okay. As I said before, if it wasn't Akira's fault, I wouldn't mind. It wasn't Akira's fault to learn more about how he was put on the bounty in battle with Lyons Tail."

Carol answered so lightly as if it were nothing.

But in contrast to that Carol attitude, Akira's reaction was huge. I open my eyes wide as I was quite surprised and look at Carol with a very unexpected look.

"Akira. What's wrong?

"Yes, no, it's nothing.... Well, I rubbed it with them, but Carol doesn't think it's my fault, either?

To Akira, who has heard terrible things back somewhere, Carol tells Akira, consciously but sincerely, that it is a decision that has somewhat bewitched Akira.

"Sort of. The scale of the noise is huge, but to sum it up abusively, they threatened Akira with force to hand over the artifact, but it was just payback, wasn't it? The bad news is over there. It's not Akira."

"... well"

"Well, if you insist, I don't know what you're doing with a big company like Lyons Tail, but maybe it's a bad part of Akira. But the inconvenience in Akira's neighborhood is now, and he's being mean to himself, and that's not what anyone else would say."

Smile a little provocatively after Carol said that.

"Besides, that inconvenient part is rather advantageous for those who ask for escorts. If you're not that accommodating, you're never going to tell me you've got an escort or an enemy along the way, are you? You kick a big company like Lyons Taylor in the ass even if they give you so many favorable conditions. I expect you to protect me no matter what."

I laugh bitterly as Akira blows out a little.

"Do you mean to think about it?"

That's what I'm talking about.

Carol laughed and gave it back too. And tighten your expression once.

"... so, I wonder. If you're convinced, I'd like you to continue with my escort."

"Okay. Undertake."

Akira replied that too lightly, as opposed to Carol, who was very nervous in the heart if she refused to do so. Carol was delighted but slightly bewildered by the act.

"Thank you. That would help.... but if you take it that lightly, you could have taken it on without saying a mess. Are you enjoying me? I'm not impressed with the way women enjoy themselves, am I?

Akira giggles lightly back to Carol, who laughs half the joke and asks back to invite her.

"It's not like that. Well, I was more suspicious than usual, too, of being a bounty neck or monster certified. I'm sorry. I'll work with you. Give me a break."

"Are you expecting me?

"For once, I'm a serious person at work. In that sense, if that's what you expect."

"Can't we include expectations of paying the reward on the bed or something?

"No."

"Too bad"

Akira and Carol finished re-signing the escort request, laughing at each other to make such a mild joke.

I watched as Alpha smiled (cheeks) on the surface.

Akira is slowly taking a bath and soothing her body and mind in a camper going through the wilderness at night. It was a day where too many things were happening, satisfying my bathing appetite with half my consciousness dissolved in hot water.

Alpha sits naked in the tub. The non-existent droplets moisturized and glowed the hair, conveying fine skin and dripping off the tip of the busty chest, adding a touch of color to the elegant nudity. The sight is in Akira's sight as usual, but as always Akira was cruel and light.

That's the usual sight. But the look on Alpha's face was not always the same, drifting a little concerned.

"Akira. Not now, but are you glad to continue Carol's escort?

Akira looks at the look on that alpha and answers lightly, even though she thinks she has a rare face.

"Hmm? Isn't that good? Don't even take a bath like this because you kept escorting me. '

"Bathing and Akira's safety in exchange is troublesome."

'Especially since I don't think you traded it for something, do you have anything?

"What the hell did Carol ask for an escort for fear? It's a risk of continuing to escort you with no idea what it is."

'Well, I know that, but I took on an escort after figuring out the area from the beginning. Now I guess.'

'Things were different then and now. Carol fears something of it enough to offset the downside of being with a 50-billion-orum prize neck that has been monster certified by Kugamayama City, hostile to Lyons Tail Inc. I know she has some kind of situation, but I can't take the fear of Akira getting caught up in something that far away from the boulder lightly. "

Akira also snorted lightly and showed satisfaction. But I didn't change my opinion.

'That'll have a back. But even Carol's made up her mind to get into my situation. Neither of them around there? As far as I'm concerned, I can't help but assume some of the risks around here, including the fact that I've been told stories that have all the advantages. "

Akira, succumbing to the pleasure of bathing, leaks a small voice and touches the tub with a face that looks in a good mood.

"Besides, if you refused the escort request, you'd be in the wilderness by now, wouldn't you? That's not two days a day either, if you suck, it's about three months all the time.... I can't. I might have done it when I was rolling in the alley, but I can't do it now. To avoid sleeping in the wilderness below that alley, I'll put up with a few things."

Akira shook her face to the side with an unpleasant bitter smile. Alpha gasps and exhales like a fool.

"At all, Akira has become a luxurious person. Take it on with that degree of thought, and what if Carol betrays you?

'You'll be fine. Well, I'll think about it then. "

Akira gave a slightly surprising look after she answered that in a mild manner, feeling like Alpha was being strangely harsh on Carol. Then the alpha smiles confidently at about the same time (cheeks) Mm.

I'll take care of it then.

When Akira saw the smile, she decided that it was to convey to herself the usefulness of her support for Alpha's attitude earlier, and she laughed bitterly wondering if that was the reason.

"I know. I asked for it then."

Akira dissolved her consciousness in the water again, looking at the alpha smiling satisfactorily.

Alpha was becoming more alert to Akira's response as she smiled (cheeks) at Akira, who was in a good mood to leave herself to the water.

What would Carol do if she betrayed him? The inquiry was confirmed. Alpha has decided that Akira would have lightly replied that she would have killed him then.

But the results were different now. After telling him that he would be fine, that the chances of betrayal are low enough, he returns a less murderous answer that lacks the specificity of thinking then, even for the treatment in the hypothesis of betrayal.

From those responses, Alpha had determined that Akira was allowing Carol a lot of attention. He had heightened his vigilance that he was getting infinitely closer to being an enemy, not an enemy, other than those two choices.

People want affirmation. Akira is no exception. Akira highly appreciated Carol for affirming her actions hostile to the Chloes at the ruins of Mihazono Street. That's why I changed my attitude towards Carol. That's what Alpha had decided.

And with that in mind and vigilance, I also thought that it would be more effective if I were to affirm Akira's words and actions at that time before me, and if I were to show affirmation in the same way.

It was a dangerous place. Having so judged the status quo, Alpha was looking at Akira, who was sloppily loosening her face, while trying to stop Akira and Carol from sleeping in the same bed. Because if you make a mistake, you're in trouble.

Those who did not exist, in the sight of those who could see it, smiled (cheeks) the same as before, and continued to think the same as before.
