Rebuild World

77 Rain lodging

Cheryl and the others, who arrived at the ruins of the Higalaka residential district, began collecting artifacts quickly.

Higalaka Residential District Ruins were once bustling with a large number of hunters as ruins of the Old World near Kugamayama City. But now that high priced artifacts have been brought out, they are already lonely. It is of low value as a relic for the exploration of relics. It's basically a useless ruin for hunters in Kugamayama city.

But still, if it's a less valuable artifact, it's still there. What Cheryl and the others collect at Higalaka Residential District Ruins is such a priceless relic.

It's not worth it enough for a hunter to go out of his way to get a means of movement and bring it home. Still well worth it for Cheryl and the others. There are plenty of things left that are not available in the alleys of Slam Street. If only there was a safe way to get around, people in Slam Street would come and pick up the relics here.

In other words, the remaining Higalaka Residential District ruins of that magnitude are a mountain of treasure enough for Cheryl and the others. Yo (more) also pay the market escort fee and travel fee to Akira and you will be in deficit in an instant, but don't worry about that this time.

Cheryl and the others have pre-determined the procedure for collecting artifacts. First, get near the front door with the goal of a house that can be approached by car to the side of the house (by the side). Akira explores the house ahead of time to finish exterminating the monster. Cheryl's men then enter the house, take out the artifacts and load them onto the carrier. In the meantime, Akira patrols the perimeter of the house to prepare for a monster raid. When we're done collecting artifacts from that house, Cheryl calls Akira on the information terminal and joins us for the next house. That repeat.

Akira, patrolling around the house, stops to see the relics gradually piling up on the carrier. Various items are carried into the carrier. Holed curtains, worn bedding, cracked dishes, crooked furniture, and accessories with few mechanical parts. Akira stared at it.

Alpha looks at Akira wonderfully.

"Akira. What's wrong? There's no mixing of artifacts that could be expensive, is there?

No, I was collecting those things a while back. I thought so.

When Akira remembers feeling slightly nostalgic, Alpha cuts it off and throws it away.

'What you're doing is still the same, isn't it? Go get the high priced artifacts in the dangerous ruins. to more dangerous ruins, more expensive artifacts. That's the only difference.'

…… Is that so? "

Akira looked at the artifacts that were piled on the carrier and remembered her previous self collecting similar objects. At that time, I thought it was quite different from what I was, but Alpha pointed out that there was no difference between what I was still doing.

The alley in Slam Street is no longer a very dangerous place for Akira, and it just doesn't fit for what's rolling there. Go for more profit, go to more dangerous places, get more expensive. That doesn't make any difference. That's all.

Among the ruins of the Higalaka residential district, there were encounters with monsters. But thanks to Akira's efforts, Cheryl and the others were well on their way to collecting artifacts. Cheryl's men were also beginning to compress where to sit.

Akira asks Cheryl, who came back to the car after collecting artifacts from the house in front of her.

"Cheryl. How far are you going to go today? No, I can go on until the date changes, but we're running out of baggage slots, okay? It's Cheryl's choice to put those guys on a pile of relics on the carrier, but I don't know if they fall off the carrier. If you run into a bunch of monsters on your way home, make sure you don't have a problem raising the speed of your car to spill monsters, okay?

Cheryl checks on the carrier. As Akira pointed out, Cheryl's men look a little cramped after being driven by relics loaded on the carrier.

But Cheryl wanted to collect the relics to the limit because he came to the site at the corner. There may never be another chance for Cheryl and the others to come back to the Higalaka Residential Area ruins.

Cheryl doesn't know what Akira's intentions were to take on Cheryl's request. I didn't think Cheryl would have the same opportunity again than I didn't know that.

Cheryl answers Akira after getting a little lost.

"Next and last. I think that's all right."

"Okay."

Akira sits in the driver's seat. Cheryl also sits in the passenger seat. As Akira tried to move the car, a rain grain fell in front of Akira's eyes.

Akira looks up at the sky. Soon the rain clouds were spreading into the sky.

"Rain. Weather forecast was clear, huh? After all, if it's free information, isn't it accurate?

"Akira. Move it now"

"Hmm? Not even the house there if it's raining..."

See Akira's sudden alpha on the side. Confirming Alpha's expression, Akira rushed the car off.

Cheryl is pushed against the back of the passenger seat, and the kids on the carrier rush to grab the body. The artifact that was loaded on the carrier collapsed slightly.

The usual smile (cheeks) disappear from Alpha's expression. That shows that the situation is bad to the extent that it involves Akira's life.

Akira drives the car according to the navigator shown on the car's control device. The destination is a large hall behind the ruins. It is also the place where Akira was taught to hang up by Alpha to be an old realm connector.

"Akira!? What's the sudden matter!?

Cheryl asks why he set the car off so rapidly, but Akira doesn't answer by controlling Cheryl by hand. I can't even answer Akira in the first place.

"Alpha. What's the status?

'I'm sorry. Don't worry, it won't be raided by a bunch of monsters any time soon,' cause that's not why.

'Right. So what's the hurry?

"To quickly escape areas that have similar effects to high concentrations of colorless fog. Staying there dramatically increases your chances of being ambushed by an enemy. We need to get into a room where there's no rain coming in quickly. '

'If it's caused by rain, why don't you just let me in the house that was right next to you?

"Soon we were surrounded by monsters around the house and had to engage in narrow indoors. You want to avoid that, don't you? We need room to fight. There's nothing wrong with that hall. Even if there are monsters in the building, it's easy to fight if you let Cheryl and the others evacuate the empty rooms."

Even while Akira is talking to Alpha, the rain gets a little stronger. Akira noticed a gradual narrowing of the range of effective enemies shown on the goggles.

'Dude, does this light rain even affect you? What happens if this gets dusty in the light rain?

'In the worst case scenario, outdoors, information-gathering equipment will be as useless as ever. There's got to be some impact indoors. "

"Alpha's prediction, how much is it going to be?

'I'm sorry, but I have no idea. That's why I'm making you rush, assuming it sucks. "

Akira blushes. Look at Akira's expression, Cheryl looks anxious. Akira noticed how that Cheryl was doing.

"I'll skip the detailed explanation, but I'm in a hurry to ensure greater safety. Don't worry."

Cheryl replies to Akira with a smile.

"Okay. Please."

Just listening to that explanation, and hearing a brief explanation from Akira, Cheryl was regaining her composure and spare time.

If it's true, Akira's training should have continued until we sent Cheryl and the others to Kugamayama City. But things are unexpected enough. Akira wasn't going to rely on Alpha until the end of the day, but she's not willing to risk her life for nothing by sticking to it in this situation.

"Alpha. Training is aborted. Give me a hand. '

"Copy that. I'll take your place."

When the car was switched to Alpha, the body wobble was clearly reduced. Akira gets up from the driver's seat and moves to the back seat.

When Akira moved to the rear seat, Akira had been operating the control panel until now, switching to automatic operation before moving. Akira hasn't done that this time. Cheryl asks Akira in a bit of a panic.

"Um, are you okay to drive?

"I switched to autopilot, so I'm fine."

"Are you sure you don't have to operate and switch control units?

"I'm fine. It's a high-performance one."

Akira ran out of clarity. I misdemonized it by saying it all. Cheryl was misdemonized because she had no problem driving in fact.

Alpha talks with a light laugh.

'That's right. Because it's high performance.... What if we misdemonize it a little bit?

'I'm fine.... maybe'

Let's be careful from now on. Akira thought that to herself.

Akira throws the camo seat that was loaded in the car to Cheryl's men on the carrier.

"So do something!

That's all Akira said and started assembling the folding roof. Cheryl's men spread camo seats on the carrier to protect themselves and their relics from the rain. The car Akira rides can also have a roof. The rain is getting stronger gradually, but it seems inevitable that they will all get a lot wet.

Akira and the others arrive at the desired hall. The hall Alpha chose for the evacuation was quite large and even existed in the parking lot. There were mechanical monster wreckages scattered nearby. Those wreckages were exposed to wind storms and became similar to iron scraps. Akira parked her car on the side (by the side) of the entrance and exit of the hall near it.

Akira removes the DVTS minigun and CWH objective assault gun she had installed in her car and holds it in both hands. A weapon that is both of considerable weight, but capable of holding it with one hand is the gift (occasional) of the physical ability of a new fortified garment that is exceptionally more powerful than the previous one.

Whether or not you can control recoil when firing with one hand is another story, but if there is alpha support, it is perfectly fine.

Akira stops Cheryl's men from entering the hall sooner than she did.

"Don't go in there before me. Stay back."

Cheryl's men, who were called off, say dissatisfied.

"Why not? Let me in quickly."

The rain was gradually getting harsh. I know Akira wants to get inside the hall quickly, but as their escort, we need to stop it.

"If you want to meet a monster who came here before us in the rain before me, do what you want."

When Akira said so, Cheryl's men rushed back behind Akira.

After Akira secured the perimeter, Cheryl and the others gathered in a room in the hall. It's big enough for everyone to go inside in a bigger room.

The room is full of cancer. Because many hunters have already taken furniture and such away from the room. It looks like it's in a fancy building, so it must be expensive. I guess a lot of hunters thought so and took all the stuff home.

Akira gives instructions to Cheryl and the others.

"The rain stopped. I'll check the surrounding rooms. Don't leave the room on your own because it's dangerous. Cheryl, let me know if anything happens."

"Okay. Please."

Cheryl lowered her head and dropped Akira out of the room.

Akira expands the enemy range slightly around the room where Cheryl and the others are located.

Akira has been to this hall before. But I felt a little different from what happened then.

"Alpha. Is there any more monster carcasses?

'It's definitely quite an increase compared to when I came here before. Maybe the ecosystem has changed a little bit. "

"Ecosystem?

'Look, when you came forward, a bulimic crocodile would have died, wouldn't you? Maybe the hunters knocked him down, but maybe that's how more monsters the bulimic crocodiles used as staple foods, and the monsters who hadn't gotten close to him on the lookout before.'

'Is that sometimes the case? I thought it was a pretty safe place when I came here before, but now you're saying it's not. Actually, can it be pretty dangerous?

'It's okay. It's not a very strong monster to detect from the carcass. Akira can defeat you now. Don't worry, Cheryl and the others have chosen the right place to defend themselves.'

"Right."

Akira felt a little easier.

Change the tone a little as Alpha tells Akira.

"Akira. You'll be extra tired if you feel so much. I told you, didn't I? This is a good story for Cheryl and the others. Akira will be training herself, and Cheryl and the others will get the artifacts. Sure, it's dangerous, but I'm giving you a reward that's worth it. It's not something Akira cares about too much."

Akira also understands and is convinced. It's an anomaly, but it's a matter of mutual agreement. Still, Akira had a subtle hindsight.

This request is for (for) Akira's training. Training to encourage Akira to improve her combat skills by exploring the ruins of the Old World with a clear basement and foot wrap. In other words, Cheryl and the others are used for their training stock.

Akira also understands that Cheryl and the others have a benefit. But it really left a little feeling that Cheryl and the others were being caught sweetly and headed to the dead.

That's a sign of Akira's lack of confidence if you return the back. It is a sign of anxiety that we may not be able to protect Cheryl and the others. If Akira is strong enough, if she is confident that she will protect Cheryl and the others without any problems at all, she will not create that emotion.

Alpha smiles at Akira.

'Be strong if you really care. If Akira is to that extent, if she is strong enough to do it in one effort, she will be giving Cheryl and the others the benefit unilaterally. We're not fishing for Cheryl and the others with sweet words at that time, we're just spoiling them. Then Akira wouldn't mind either, would she? I'll take care of that support.'

'... right. If I get stronger, I'll fix it. That way, Alpha asks you to attack the ruins quickly. "

Akira replied, smiling lightly.

"I'll be expecting you."

Alpha also replied with a smile.

After completing the perimeter check, Akira returned to the room where Cheryl and the others were. Akira puts the gun on the floor and takes a break.

Akira looks out the window. Instead of stopping, the rain is getting stronger. When I checked the outside condition with the information-gathering device, the effective enemy range was very narrow and largely useless.

Akira asks Alpha a simple question.

'Speaking of which, how come when it rains, the fog without color is in the same situation as when it's dark?

'I have all the theories. The powerful theory is that very high concentrations of colorless fog in the sky are mixed with rain. "

"If it stops raining, can't it move temporarily?

"I don't know until it stops raining. Sometimes the rain stops (or) recovers rapidly. Sometimes it gets worse. '

'... that theory, does it fit?

'I told you, didn't I? He said he had theories. There's a lot of things in the world that haven't been figured out.'

Akira didn't say anything about it somewhere, but she stopped caring deeply.

Cheryl's men are killing their time with thoughts. Some are playing with the cards they found while collecting artifacts.

Cheryl comes under Akira, away from the others.

"Um, is it a good idea if I sit next to you?

To Akira, who sits down and looks up at Cheryl, Cheryl returns her best smile as she asks how Akira is feeling.

"I'm working as an escort for once. Stop hugging me. Stop snuggling around so you can move easily when something happens."

Cheryl and the others have escorted Akira to the Higalaka Residential District site to collect artifacts, but this has once been an official request via the Hunter's Office. It's a formal request that will also appear in Akira's request history on the Hunter's Office site.

The reward for the request is 10,000 aurums. Including an intermediary fee to the hunter's office would amount to 20,000 aurum. Since I did not send it as a request to an individual (a), it is also possible that a completely ignorant hunter will receive this request on the request intermediary site. But realistically it can't be.

The reward is the lowest amount the Hunter's Office has requested to mediate from an individual. Besides, the hunter side holds the means of travel, including Cheryl's share. The hunter side also covers the cost of ammunition. In addition, the escorts are children with no combat capability. The detention time was almost the entire day, besides the commission being a successful reward and paid in full.

If the hunter is to be killed by this request, it is content that suspects any irregularities or anomalies already. Naturally, Akira was the only one who received this request. As a precaution, another hunter will not receive additional requests as the recruitment was closed after completing the process of accepting Akira's request.

It was Akira who brokered the hunter's office. Complete the escort for Cheryl and the others, taking on the job more than requested. It's a manifestation of that will. And there's also a point in showing Cheryl that he's not going to neglect his job because he took on an escort virtually only (just).

So Akira is still at work. You can't let Cheryl hold you while you're at work.

"Okay."

Cheryl lowers her back about half way off Akira's body. Cheryl felt a little relieved that Akira was in a better mood than when she was outside, too.

"Rain, stop."

"The weather forecast was clear. It was a weather forecast for public information on the Unified Enterprise Union, but it's not that accurate? No, it's possible that the forecast around the Kugamayama city, and the forecast around the Higalaka Residential District site, was different again. Right. You won't see the weather forecast in the wilderness or the residents inside the city walls."

"I have trouble getting down all the time, but I think it's good for the occasional (occasional) part of getting down. The dry air and soil softened and I felt a little tender."

"I don't mind going down occasionally, but I checked the weather forecast to make sure it didn't overlap on the scheduled date. I hope the tires don't get stuck in the mud. Do you want to change the travel route a little while back?"

Cheryl, who talks about how rain feels, emotions, and Akira, who talks about the impact of rain, what to do. Alpha is laughing when she sees the two of us talking about the subtle miseating. Akira noticed how the alpha was.

'... what the hell'

'It's nothing. Look, Cheryl's clothes were the ones Akira gave you last time, right?

Following Alpha's allegations, Akira looks again at the clothes Cheryl is wearing. Akira didn't really remember, but it was certainly the clothes Akira had gotten at the ruins the other day.

Cheryl also noticed Akira's gaze. Cheryl smiles and tells Akira.

"I tried on the clothes Akira gave me. What do you think?

Many of the clothing sizes Akira gave Cheryl do not match Cheryl's physique. Cheryl manages to wear the clothes without discomfort due to their ingenuity. Cheryl is mature and the result of technology. It's the result of many attempts and mistakes in front of the mirror.

It should also be noted that the underwear was strangely elastic after keeping it comfortable and could be worn without any problems even with the little Cheryl. It was a slightly seductive (frightening) design underwear, but it's not something someone would see in a normal move, and there's nothing wrong with Cheryl as the only person who shows it is Akira.

As for Cheryl, I just wanted a mild compliment, a good fit, a degree of honor. I only asked lightly, thinking that I would get some clothes from Akira.

Akira stares at Cheryl's outfit, then wrinkles (wrinkles) slightly between her eyebrows, puts a light colour of confusion on her face, and then answers with some caution.

"... the problem is, I don't think so. Maybe."

"Oh, really?"

Cheryl, who received an unexpected subtle response, managed to do so without breaking her smile.

Strange between Akira and Cheryl flows. Then he talks as if Akira had confessed.

"Uh, what, actually, the clothes I gave Cheryl the other day were found in the ruins I had. However, I didn't confirm the design at all because I gave it to her without thinking about it. Maybe I've given away something with a very subtle design. If so, well, you don't have to wear it, do you?

Akira doesn't even think of herself as a shard. Until a little while ago, if I had sturdy, hole-free clothes, I would have lived a life that I thought was superior. I still basically wear fortified clothing when I go out, so I continue to live independently of the opportunity for my fashion sense to be tested.

When Akira had previously trained with Alpha in melee combat, Alpha had changed into old world-made combat clothing. Seeing an alpha dressed more seductively (frighteningly) and fanatically than naked in a way, Akira has greatly doubted the fashion sense of the old world.

And the clothes Akira gave Cheryl are the same old world-made clothes. I don't know if Akira is getting used to the design of the old world, but if normal people saw it, they would have given away a lot of fashion sense to the wearer. Suddenly anxious, Akira answered fearful Cheryl with a line of prevention.

Cheryl convinced Akira's attitude by listening to Akira. Smile to reassure Akira.

"I like these clothes so much that I think I'll be fine with that"

"Really? That's fine. If that's the case, yeah, I think it looks good on you."

If you like the person wearing it, I guess it's no problem. Akira replied with confidence.

Thank you. I'll sit down.

Cheryl laughed with joy at Akira's gradual and expected words.
