Rebuild World

281 Aftermath of Trouble

The cuttlefish who finished selling the product to Akira and the others were about to return from Cheryl's stronghold. When the snail leaves, he calls Akira from the driver's seat of the trailer.

"I'm glad I didn't wander the wilderness looking for you. Well, good luck.... Akira. Don't die."

"... you too. It's technically wilderness around here, so it's dangerous, right?

"Absolutely."

Katsuragi smiled back bitterly at Akira, who laughed lightly, leaving the trailer in his car.

Akira closes the shutter in the parking lot and exhales.

(I could update my gear, and I've refilled my ammo. Do we have to wait for the rest)

Intercept me if I get raided. Once the gear arrives from downhill heavy industry, get inside the fence depending on the situation. Whatever it is, it's not going to get any faster if I move, and now I just have to wait. Calm down so you don't think that and be in a hurry for nothing.

Alpha was wondering to see how Akira was doing.

"Akira. Why do you look so hard when you could have refilled your ammunition and even procured new equipment?

'Cause... that's 16 billion, right? It's like debt when you say "advance," and you can't even tell me to pay it back. "

Akira also intends to pay back as much as she can. Of course (of course) there are priorities for borrowing, and this is not an assumption that the person perceives as borrowing. Still, I owed 16 billion aurum in Akira a pretty big one.

"Let's do something about it by completing Shiloh's request sooner or later"

'Well, yeah, but I don't know when I'll be able to do that either. When I think I owe you something like that, there's something I think about it too.'

I can't replace my belly on my back in the current situation. That's what I thought and pulled the advance from Shiloh and bought expensive equipment, but when I thought about it again after I bought it, there was also a part out there that I thought was a little quicker.

Alpha laughs and cares about Akira.

'Let's just say that there's room for Akira to think ahead. If he dies, that concern will be meaningless. Isn't that right?

'......, right'

So Akira also took it easy, first surviving (to) manage concerns later that she might not be able to pay back her 16 billion aurum. Yes, I decided to think positively.

"Akira, I got a message from Drunkham and Raina that they wanted to talk to each other in person."

Having heard an overview of each story from Alpha, Akira looked a little unexpected and then asked for a reply to come this far if she wanted to speak directly. Then both of them immediately replied, "I'm going now."

Drancam's vehicle is on its way through Slam Street. The crew must brief Akira on the situation as a negotiator for Drancam, two Arabes, and once that escort, Sikarabe.

Arabe was exhaling deeply in the passenger seat in the oversized troubles that had sprung from her descent.

"Negotiate with a prize neck of 50 billion orum... That's not what the Hunter Prison Party in a single city would do."

Sicarabe smiles bitterly.

"But you have to, don't you? To prevent Akira from rubbing (or rubbing) about Katsuya, I made peace through the hunter's office. If you screw that up from this side, if you do it badly, they'll wipe out every fucking party, right?

"Is that in the hunter's office? Or to Akira?

"Doesn't either make a big difference?

When he heard it, Arabe exhaled once again. That was the same as acknowledging that there was no big difference. It exhales stupidity in its inner tone.

"I didn't expect the Katsuya thing to come to a tail like this. He used to make a scene when he was alive, but it's a real hassle to make such a scene even after he died."

"Well, there's no choice. Plus, Drancam is a huge part of the world that's gotten bigger because of the shine. Let's think it's time to pay for that bump."

Arabe looks surprised that Sikarabe made a statement that seemed like she was acknowledging Katsuya.

"I didn't know you said that. You hated him, didn't you?

"I told you before, didn't I? I'm not incompetent enough to distort my assessment with personal affection."

What do you say?

Saw Shikarabe laughing in good shape somewhere as she talked about Katsuya, and her friend seemed to blow it off enough, and the arabe smiled lightly back as well.

"But, well, what, as you advised, you were absolutely right to stop inviting Akira to Drancam. It's crazy to sell fights to Lyons Tail. If I had joined you, you would have fought Lyons Tail until Drancam. It was dangerous."

"Right? I was absolutely right."

"So, this time, what are you talking about?

"Right. Well, why don't we figure it out?

"Right. Then I'll count on that."

When Arabe says that and half earnestly expects and laughs, Sikarabe laughs back in a good mood, although she is also in a bitter laugh. Bearing the fate of Drancam in a way, the Sikarabes went on to Slam Street aiming under Akira.

Raina and the others are on their way through Slam Street in a vehicle borrowed from the East Fourth Ward branch of Lions Tail. The vehicle was firmly marked with the Lyons Tail company logo, which Raina was a little concerned about.

"Hey Siori. Are you sure you're okay with this car going to see Akira?

"We have contacted Akira beforehand, and we have also sent her the identification code for this car. Unless Master Akira is hostile to this one, this car shouldn't be attacked for any reason. It is also not advisable to proceed on foot through the wilderness. It may be doubtful to use camouflage functions, etc. to hide and move forward."

"Wilderness, huh?"

"Yes, please consider it a wilderness correctly, not for convenience"

There is currently a 50 billion aurum prize neck lurking in Slam Street, and a city defense force is deployed along the border with the subdivision. In other words, it is a dangerous zone where there is no wonder whenever large-scale fighting occurs, a dominant area of the wilderness order.

Kanae laughs with pleasure.

"Well sister (ah). Wouldn't it be nice to have the details around here already?"

"Fine... for your daughter's safety?

"What are you talking about? By the time you admit to killing Miss Chloe with us, you'll have to take extra care of that area."

Siori distorted her face in dissatisfaction, but could not argue.

By cutting off the Zone 3 branch attached to Chloe's side and replacing it with a Zone 4 branch, we could also ask the Zone 4 branch to protect Raina. But there's no point in being held hostage to Raina in the Fourth Ward. There was also a strong intention of Raina herself, and Siori decided to put Raina on her side (by her side) to protect her.

Togami pinches his mouth there.

"Mr. Cioli. Akira's promised that Rayna wouldn't be hostile to Akira, and they believed that, didn't they? Isn't that a good idea?

"Well, that's true..."

"The third arrondissement was completely turned against the enemy when we joined hands with the fourth arrondissement and attacked Chloe and the others. Shouldn't you be with Mr. Siori and the others to prevent Raina from being turned over in a branch deal? I mean, that's what you're thinking and acting together, right?

"Well, so are you..."

Siori felt somewhat overstated and a little dissatisfied. That's where Raina pinches my mouth.

"I think it's bad to keep the Siori and the others in such a dangerous wilderness at my will. But I'm sorry, but you need to hang out with me because you think you're gonna help me."

"There is no such thing. As long as we have this life, we will serve you."

Siori answered that unexpectedly with the joy of being cared for and relied upon by the Lord. Later, I realized that was the word I would admit to being with in this situation, and I also realized that Raina had further urged me to put the word out in my mouth.

"Lady...... You've been strong enough."

"Really? I'm gonna think you've grown up."

Raina laughed with pleasure as she was doing well and drifted slightly in her majesty as Lord.

Continue straight on through Slam Street and bowl in with the Sicarabes as they arrive in front of Cheryl's stronghold. Guess we came to see each other Akira, and we went inside together.

Akira was a little surprised that Shikarabe and Raina and the others came together, but decided to listen to Shikarabe and the others first.

Proceed with the matter in the tense manner of the Arabe, in front of a prize neck of 50 billion aurum.

"I gave you an overview when I contacted you in advance, but I will tell you again. First of all, as a big premise, I have absolutely no will to antagonize with Lord Akira on Drancam. Please understand this general premise and do not misunderstand."

The case of Drancam was about the predictions of the actions of those known as the remnants of the Katyas, their explanations, and how to deal with them.

Katya, formerly a major force in Drancam, but Katya's death wiped out the Katya as a faction. But many personally admired Katsuya strongly, and many still strongly resent Akira for killing that Katsuya. Some of them even showed difficulty signing the settlement and refused to do so until the end.

In the end, Drancam did not deport such people, but kept them under light surveillance. Because even if they imitate Akira on her feet when she is deposed, she will have trouble. Peace between Akira and Drancam is being established via the Hunter's Office. It doesn't matter because you're a partisan, it doesn't work. In addition, there are many young Katsuya sects, and there was no disproportionate cold treatment (because) they did not allow the ancient ginseng and young people to resume. We waited for time to weather Katsuya's death and planned to take it in slowly.

The decision was half right, half out back. The other day, the people watching you were all at once. I was able to grasp the motion by watching it without disengaging it. However, if he had been deported shortly after the settlement, he could not have scratched his legs to escape saying that it was irrelevant because he still belonged to the Jailed Party. I feared going to attack Akira because of this timing, and I had to deal with it as an inmate.

"In this situation, even if those people really raided Mr. Akira, you will not sit at Drancam's will. Those people will be dealt with in Drancam as a problem within the party. At that time, it may be judged that Drunkam is escorting Akira, but it is only a problem within the prison party, and with all due respect, Drunkam is not on Akira's side. We're neutral. Please understand."

That's what Arabe said and bowed her head deeply.

It is supplemented by Alpha that Akira, who is not on the chase of understanding, thinks it would be good if she did not have to come and say that one way or another.

That you are so afraid of hostility with Akira, misunderstood as the work of Drancam. However, I am equally afraid that Akira will be seen as cooperating and will be seen by Lyons Tail. That's why I came all the way out here to declare it (intentionally) in order to remain neutral even when I was forced to do it. Described them, Akira was also convinced a little late.

"Right. Okay. It helps not to turn to my enemies at your convenience, and it helps to deal with the extra enemies. Do as you please."

Thank you. I'll sit down.

Arabe lifts her head and exhales a soothing (mostly) breath. Shikarabe was smiling lightly when she saw how it was.

The next step will be the order of the Rainas, who will begin speaking on their behalf.

"Um, what am I supposed to talk from? I'll tell you from our situation."

That we are currently committing the murder of Chloe from the Lyons Tail Eastern Fourth Ward branch and that we are totally hostile to Chloe. That we had already actually raided and Chloe couldn't but Lattis did. Plus, he killed some of the hunters after Akira. There is also a risk that bad behavior may lead to inter-branch fighting. Rayna briefly explained them.

Akira is also amazed by the boulders. Because I had only heard a brief overview of Chloe and Lyons Tail in advance.

"So what? I have to check with Akira first about Chloe, was Akira the one who said don't get your hands on him because he's my prey?

"No, I'm gonna kill you over here, so if it doesn't make sense not to get your hands on it, then whatever. Whether it's accidental, sick or dead, whatever he dies of."

"Well, I thought you'd say that."

Rayna was soothing (mostly) on the inside, even though she flushed so lightly on the surface.

I don't care what you think is normal when you think about that interest, such as just a hunter turning Lyons Tail against his enemies. Beyond doing that, Akira will be more inclined to make emotional decisions about things. Even if that's what Akira thinks of as an interest, it's proof that the standard is significantly different from that of a regular person.

The fear that Akira will stick to killing Chloe with her own hands and hostile to everything that makes that achievement impossible may be quite high. Raina was exhaled when she had confirmed that the concern was a matter of concern.

"I'll ask you one more time. We're after Chloe and Akira, but in the meantime, aren't you willing to join hands? That way I can get support from the Fourth Ward Branch, and I don't think that's a bad story."

"I'm sorry, but I say no to that. I want to do whatever I want. If you cooperate poorly, you'll be in trouble around here."

"I guess. If anyone wants to join hands here, they'll take it when the Flip Branch Manager tells them to."

Let me turn down the suggestion once I thought it wouldn't be possible, and then Raina gets to the next point.

"Then why don't you just admit that we wander around near Akira? It's more convenient for us to be near Akira than for Chloe to be after Akira. I'd like to use this base if I could."

Sicarabe pinches her mouth there.

"If that's what you're talking about, I want you to admit it as well. Even if it's not your escort, you'd better maneuver nearby to defeat the people who are threatening to attack you. You must be here for a while.

"If you don't want to get in my way, you can do whatever you want, but you can talk about the base as Cheryl. I'm in a position to interrupt here, too. If they tell me to leave, I have to leave."

Akira's attitude, to which she replied so, was natural, and the atmosphere was nowhere near as if she were joking. I look at Cheryl unexpectedly with Sikarabe and Raina and the others in their unexpected faces.

"I won't tell."

Cheryl said that out of rare dissatisfaction with Akira. Makes Akira look a little strange to that Cheryl vibe. Seeing the takeover, Carol was smiling bitterly.

And Shikarabe and Raina made the surprise stronger. As far as Akira and the others are concerned, if Cheryl tells me to get out, Akira really gets out. That's how I got the vibe.

Sikarabe sends Arabe, Raina sends Siori her gaze. With that in mind, Arabe and Ciori enter into negotiations with Cheryl. Though the boss of the Prison Party, it was not a light-hearted treatment that the girl in Slam Street, they were both seriously challenged to negotiate against the unapologetic girl with the power to impose restrictions on the actions of the 50-billion-orum prize neck.

Negotiations with Cheryl will assign one of the bases to Raina and the others. It is a room for guests who come looking for artifacts flowing from the Tsubaki administrative compartment, a room of fine quality that does not seem like a slum town. Looking at its interior, Togami had a small exclamation.

"Was there a place like this in Slam Street? I thought they'd let me through to a room like a warehouse. Big deal."

Elio, who led Raina and the others so far, laughs bitterly when he hears it.

"Well, it could be a pile of rubble from building to building tomorrow."

We have Akira in the same building, and it's no wonder when the battle with the hunters, who are after the 50-billion-orum prize neck, begins. It's a stronghold that has grown sturdy in a bit of a fortress with reinforcements and additions, but Elio has been with Akira for quite some time, and he thought it would be suspicious if the stronghold were involved in the battle, if the building would leave its original shape behind.

"It's a room with a bath, but you can also use the big bathroom on the other floor. But you're booked. Make an appointment from your backup device. I'll tell you what else, even if you make an appointment, that's the priority when Akira or her boss use it. I'm sorry, but that's the deal."

It's not a fine room for Togami or a big one for Raina. Normally I join the conversation looking indoors.

"Heh, yeah. Well, it's the boss here and Akira, and I'm in a position to interrupt, and I can't help it."

"Oh, I have no choice. Boss and Akira. If you can push just one of them, you can't turn them both against each other."

"Well, right......, hmm?

Raina, who tried to speak lightly, feels something to hook up with and stops the words. And he looked surprised.

"If they're both together, maybe Akira and Cheryl, they're in there together?

"Oh, that's how we get along."

"Heh. Something unexpected. Somehow Akira didn't seem interested in the hand. Because the bathroom isn't divided between men and women because of the convenience of being booked?

"... that's the place. Well, here I am."

With Cheryl actually just being aggressive, Akira hasn't responded much to bathing with Cheryl. Elio, who somehow guesses that from Cheryl's attitude, was deceiving by pretending to be unfamiliar. And so as not to say anything extra, he shitty and left the room.

Unlike the women of Raina, Siori and Kanae, Togami looked somewhat envious. Raina notices it, laughs and calls out.

"Togami. You want in?

Together, with the intention on board, but the word itself dared (ah) to skip it, and Rayna was laughing deeply.

Togami solidifies. And carefully turn your gaze slowly towards Siori and the others.

"If you're going to be honest with the lady, I'm not going to sit by pinching your mouth."

"Unless you think I'm hooked on some poor quality guy, I'm not gonna get my hands on him, am I?

If you are judged to be dishonest, what happens if you think you are a poor quality man? Either he would be slaughtered or beaten to death. Either way, Togami didn't have the nerve to make sure on this occasion right now.

"Hey, I'm coming out for a second. I need to hear how we treat you in Drancam..."

Togami, who withheld his reply, walked out of the room with a hard smile trying to laugh and deceive him.

"It's a mess."

Let's just say it's thoughtful.

Kanae laughs joyfully and Siori exhales calmly. Even though Raina laughed that it was the result as expected, she seemed a little sorry.

Drancam had rented a large hall for troop operations in negotiations with Cheryl. Apart from that, he also rented a small room for a break. When Togami, who knows it, asks Arabe if she can use one of the rooms, she refuses without an island to install it.

"No. You're not getting involved here. I thought you said Drancam was neutral. I will not cooperate with you in any way."

Rayna is already in the form of only placing her books in Drunkham, and by adding that Togami has personally received requests from those Raynas, Drunkham is not involved in their actions. I will not force you to leave the party because if you do so, you are likely to see (all of them) attached to the side (Wawa) of the Eastern District III branch of Lions Tail, and because you do not break the position of irrelevance, you indicated your position of neutrality by piercing (to) non-interference.

"Neutrality is the same thing that turns them all to their enemies when they're bad at it. I'm taking care of this one so it doesn't happen, so stay out of it. If you want to rent a room, you can negotiate with me. If you know what I mean, get away from me."

"Okay. I'm leaving."

Togami exhaled lightly and left the scene behind. Then Sikarabe calls out to Arabe.

"Can't we work with Raina and the others to get support from the Eastern Fourth Ward branch of Lions Tail? Togami borrows some pretty high-performance gear, right? It would be helpful to have the same equipment."

"No. In return, hostility to the Eastern Third Ward branch is reliably demanded. If Lyons Tail's inter-branch war is involved in a big mess, Drancum will disappear."

But what if the Katyas were supported by that Chloe? They didn't even move to waste their lives. If it had simply been abandoned, it would have moved. There must have been some good reason to move. "

"I have that concern, but it's just a concern at the moment. And if you cooperate with the Fourth District Branch (to address that concern), you will be assured of hostility with the Third District Branch. If you think about it, you won't be able to cooperate easily."

Even if the reason why the Katyas moved was really Chloe's guide, it could have been enough to give them about 100 million aurums of financial aid. Then we can deal with it adequately with Drancam's troops, so we don't need Lyons Tail's gear. The judgment around it is also difficult, Arabe added.

Shikarabe pulls back with that too.

"Well, is it the job of the executives to judge the interests around it... I get it. I was a little interested in getting Rionsdale gear."

"At least it's not something I can decide on my own here. At least take it back and discuss it with the executives."

After Arabe says that, she laughs lightly like a joke.

"Well, suppose we were to borrow gear from Lions Tail. In that case, I'll have the equipment provided worn even in made-up clothes, right?

"... no, in that case, wouldn't it be the butler's clothes-like one that Togami wears?

"It wasn't decided that the other side would offer it. If you're going to cooperate with that, it means you're going to rock the neutrality of Drancam and provide you with as much high-performance gear as you want to borrow. Whatever the design is, if I borrow it, I'll have it worn, okay?

"... no, I have my own fortified clothes..."

"No. You treat me like a representative of the real team, too. Take the initiative from you to wear it. [M] Let's put it on Clothawa too. That's what he's into, isn't it? Just fine."

"I bet he didn't have a hobby for wearing made-up clothes himself either..."

I might have said something extra. Sikarabe laughed bitterly, thinking so.

Akira was looking around from the rooftop of the base. The sight of idle slums stretches there, but people could also confirm a little when exploring the surroundings with the support of Alpha.

Elio and the others first. He wears general support reinforcement clothing and is on sentry around the base with that support. Thanks to their gear and training, their troops are highly mobile and their force is so powerful that they can't be overpowered by the same hunters already. Still, there's no chance of winning against the highly-ranked hunters who are after a 50-billion-orum prize neck. Even Akira did not expect it as a force of war.

I have now installed an installation-based information-gathering device around me to expand my alert range. It was also installed outside Cheryl and the others' territory. Such imitation would have been quite rubbing (also) with the other inmates, but now that the other inmates have fled to abandon their territory, there was no problem.

And we can also see people in the slums who are peering around the base with information gathering equipment from afar. Some found Akira on the roof and looked disgusted and ran away in a panic with Akira in sight.

Again few, but some targeted Akira from the critical position of the effective range of the sniper gun, which was all that appealing to the 500 billion orum. Akira, however, was targeted from behind, but with the least amount of movement, she shot her dead with a further counterattack. Hit the opponent's torso with a powerful bullet and blow it all the way to his head with the impact of the landing. Those who misidentified the danger of their opponents because of their distance from Akira and lost the temptation of a great deal of money came to a natural end.

Alpha laughs and praises.

"Brilliant. Akira can make it this far on her own. It's a big deal. '

'Really? Right......'

But Akira had a slightly more difficult face on her face. Alpha also makes a strange face.

"Now the shooting, Akira isn't convinced of anything?

'That's not what I'm talking about, but this equipment, it's not the one you bought at Mr. Sizka's, is it? I was just wondering if you were okay.'

"From what I've looked into, there's nothing wrong with the gear, is there?

'No, that's not what I meant, but I would have fought with the gear I bought in Mr. Sizka's shop before, wouldn't I? Not this time. I don't know if you're okay.'

The reason Akira buys gear at Sizka's store is partly because she admires Sizka, but it also means taking charge of testing. Because I've managed to survive with the equipment I bought from Sizka.

But this time I bought the gear from the snail. Akira thinks she's overthinking herself, but she felt subtle anxiety, restlessness. Anxiety did not disappear completely even after going up to the open rooftop and checking the performance of the person who had been after him for a new gun trial and firing, confirming that there was no problem.

Smile as Alpha reassures Akira.

'It's okay. No problem. The bike was bought in the Zegelt city, but it would have worked properly for you, wouldn't it? And the equipment that arrives from Sakashita Heavy Industries isn't what we bought at Sizka's? You can't fight if you care.'

'......, so is that'

Akira said so and snorted deeply to convince herself.

Togami comes looking for Akira in an attempt to get her to do something about the room there. And I asked Akira what she was doing, and she told me she was checking the user-friendliness of the new equipment, and I was pulling it off a little.

Akira hasn't even explained that she was using a person to target herself in order to try and shoot. But Togami could have guessed about it. I was weirdly convinced that the prize money was going to hang because of reason.
