Rebuild World

Shikarabe and the others were ahead of us all night getting ready. Several vehicles were parked around the armoured personnel carriers of Shikarabe and the others.

Akira stops near it. Then head under (and under) the Sicarabes, who are working on a bounty neck crusade outside the armoured personnel transport vehicle.

Shikarabe immediately notices Akira.

"Akira. How's it going?"

"No problem."

"Right. I'll leave as soon as it's time. Ask him there by then and get ready. Stand by when you're ready. Kill your spare time appropriately. I'm busy for a while. If you want to ask, ask Yamanobe, Parga or the others."

Sikarabe points to the armoured personnel transport vehicle. The rear door of the armoured personnel transport vehicle was open and other accompanying persons were seen near it. Other hunter-like figures can also be seen in cars parked around them.

Akira begins preparations for a bounty neck crusade towards the armoured personnel transport vehicle as directed by Sikarabe. I went back to my car with what I had received in the armoured personnel carrier.

There are many things Akira has received. Rocket launchers for versus large monsters and their ammunition. Communicators and communication codes. List of ingredients for the information collection jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke) used and adjusted data for information collection equipment. Information on the bounty neck collected by Shikarabe and the others. I also received a special bullet for a CWH objective assault gun. Akira brought it herself, but I decided to thank her for the spare parts.

Akira receives various types of data in short-range communication of the information terminal. Akira's information terminal is in Alpha's possession. In other words, various types of data can also be consulted by Alpha. Alpha had already analyzed all kinds of information. The performance of the information-gathering device when using the jamming smoke screen (jamming smoke) will be minimal.

Akira was ready and waiting for the departure time in the car. But as I sat there, I was going to fall asleep again, so I started flexible gymnastics outside the car with a somnolence at Alpha's recommendation.

Akira is moving her body in imitation of Alpha's movements. Alpha in a swimsuit daring to expose her skin in front of Akira is showing an example.

Alpha spreads his hands and feet wide, twisting his limbs, twisting his hips, extending from toe to toe, raising one leg and standing cleverly. Alpha movement and posture highlight the attractive body parts of the alpha. Although I'm used to seeing a lot of things, I guess Akira is pretty dull about a lot of things that don't react as well (or so) after seeing what Alpha looks like right now.

Akira plays flexible gymnastics with her fortified clothes on. If Akira is not stretched enough, Alpha manipulates Akira's fortified clothing to try to stretch its body a little more forcefully.

"Alpha. It hurts a little"

'You're a little stiff. Flexibility is important both to prevent injury and to improve the efficiency of movement. You should continue to train and adjust your fortified clothes.'

'Oh, please be gentle. Yes, it hurts'

"It's okay. I have a healing pill."

Alpha replied with a smile.

'That's absolutely wrong, in reply to saying it's okay!

Continue flexible gymnastics as Akira complains about Alpha. I didn't tell you to stop.

Alpha is showing Akira an example of leg forebending. Alpha opens her legs wide in a straight line, pressing her chest to the ground, with an extra look on her face. Akira manages to imitate Alpha's movements with a slightly distressed look on her face, but she is quite undressed.

That's where Shikarabe came in.

"What are you doing?

"You'll see. Flexible gymnastics."

What Sikarabe wanted to hear was why she's doing that now, but she remembers one thing and asks another.

"... well. I'm just asking, are those fortified clothes, the obedience ceremony? Or is it readable?

"Erm..."

Akira did not immediately understand the meaning of the Shikarabe question itself. Alpha teaches Akira.

"Readable."

"Readable."

Shikarabe speaks with a slightly more rugged look.

"Right. Akira will be fine, but be careful."

Akira asks back wondering.

"Pay attention to what?

"Some hunters don't know much about fortified clothing because they have a lot of fantasies about fortified clothing. Some people think anyone can use it right away just by wearing it. Once upon a time, the one who got the readable fortified clothes cheaply in the back route. He wore the fortified clothes he got without even adjusting to his busy schedule. Reinforced clothing that leaves someone else's data. I had no problem walking normally to the ruins of my purpose. The guy started light flexible gymnastics with leisure time to wait and confirmation of the operation of the fortified clothes. The fortified clothing was readable. If the fortified clothes are someone else's data, the previous owner has bent his joints in a fine motion and pulled out his ligament."

Akira's expression was a little strong. Sikarabe continues the conversation.

"Obedient fortified clothing never exceeds his movements, so accidents like that are hard to come by. Sometimes the type of enhanced clothing that reads neurotransmission moves faster than the person to increase the speed of response. If the wearer is a cyborg, the range of motion of the joint may differ from normal. So accidents like that happen sometimes."

"... didn't it come with a safety device or something?

"Apparently the previous user was disabling it. That's a lot of stuff, isn't it? Even if his bones are broken in an unscrupulous motion, he may not survive if he doesn't. In that case, the safety devices will be shackled."

"What happened to him after that?

"I took heaps of healing pills and managed to stay there. However, it seems that the fortified clothing has become traumatic and since then has been transformed into a combination of physical enhancement and protective clothing."

Akira sees Alpha. Alpha smiles softly. The recovery drug story must be an Alpha joke. Akira decided to assume so.

Akira decides to change the subject to get the current story out of her head. Stand up and ask Shikarabe.

"... So, what does it look like? Is it time to leave?

Akira points me out and reminds me why Shikarabe came here.

"Oops. Yes, it was. I'm leaving straight away, but it's not about that. Do me a favor. I want this guy in Akira's car."

Behind the sicarabe stood a hunter boy. The boy is about the same age as Akira. He greets Akira.

"It's togami. It's appropriate."

"It's Akira.... Sikarabe, I want to make sure. Do you need me to help or escort him?

"No? Akira basically fights whatever she wants. That's the kind of contract. Togami fights on his own with Togami. We don't have to work together."

"If he gets in my way, I might throw him out the car"

"I won't stop you, but throw me in my car if you can."

Akira wanted to feel like turning down Shikarabe's demands. But Akira's attitude toward the request was not enough to say no. That's why Akira tried to tell Shikarabe a lot, but Shikarabe accepted Akira's request lightly. And Togami also just made his expression grumpy, and he hasn't refused to get in Akira's car.

Akira gives up and decides to put Togami in the car.

"... ok. If that's all right with you, I'll give you a ride."

"I'm sorry. I'm leaving right away. Don't be late."

That's all Shikarabe said, putting Togami down and returning to the armoured personnel carriers.

Akira and the others move to crusade the prize neck. Continue through the dark wilderness with the lead of the armoured personnel transport vehicle on which the Sicarabes and others are riding.

Tokami is in the passenger seat of Akira's car. Togami's luggage, such as a rocket launcher, is loaded in the rear of the car with Akira's luggage.

Togami remains a grumpy look before boarding. I didn't seem to quite like Akira's conversation with Shikarabe.

Togami speaks to Akira abominably.

"Hey, what did you mean by that conversation earlier?

Akira answers normally while facing forward.

"What do you mean, keep asking. Was it something you needed to supplement?

Hearing Akira's response makes Togami increasingly grumpy.

"Don't be ridiculous, okay? You said something that would make me limp. What's your Hunter Rank? Say it."

Twenty-one.

Talk in a confident voice as Togami mocks when he hears Akira's Hunter Rank.

"Twenty-one? You have that attitude towards me at that level of rank? I'm rank 27!

Akira looked at Togami chillingly and immediately put her gaze back in front.

I see Akira's attitude. Togami's mood gets worse again.

"Hey! Are you listening!?

After all the trouble Akira decided to ignore Togami.

asks Alpha, sitting in the air next to Akira, pointing her finger at Togami.

'Are you sure you want to leave me alone?

"If you come in the way of anything other than noise, let's throw it into Sikarabe's car"

Akira replied softly. I have permission for Sikarabe. Akira was really going to do it.

Togami said a lot afterwards, but because Akira completely ignored it, she tongued to throw it away temporarily (the bulk) and turned to the wilderness opposite Akira in a grumpy manner.

Three of the armoured personnel carriers leading Akira and the others are on board: Shikarabe, Yamanobe and Parga. This armoured personnel carriage has a capacity of 10 people. The seven seats are filled with ammunition, etc. prepared by Sikarabe and the others. Still, there's about enough free time to get Togami on board.

It's Yamanobe driving. The approximate position of the prize neck is displayed in the display portion of the car's control device. Drancam's reconnaissance team is sending this armoured personnel carrier the predicted position of the prize neck. Yamanobe had chosen a journey to avoid futile combat and was driving.

Yamanobe asks Shikarabe.

"Hey, why did you bring that kid?

"Which one is the kid?

"It's Togami. Akira was able to grasp some strength in that incident yesterday. I'm not willing to complain about accompanying Akira.... If you're togami, I'm not saying you're useless, but you don't need anything else, do you? First of all, he's also a faction of young hunters. Why did you bring him here?

The look on Shikarabe's face seems obnoxiously cloudy.

"Even I didn't bring him here to like it. They pushed me. When you're adjusting your budget for the prize neck crusade, it's conditional on an increase in your budget."

"... is it okay to drink that condition that you've been pressed?

"The only condition is participation. They haven't told me to let them live. It doesn't matter if you die. I pushed Akira into the car because it would be a hassle."

Sikarabe laughed when she said so. Yamanobe speaks with a bitter smile.

"Looking at Akira yesterday, you're really going to throw her out of the car"

Parga asks Shikarabe with a surprising look.

"I know what brought him here, but why is he on the bounty neck crusade with us in the first place? You should usually mix it up with the younger guys. Why did you come all the way over here?

Shikarabe gives me a slightly troublesome look. The look was directed at the crap inside Drancam. Answer Parga's question with the unpleasant look on Sikarabe's face that seems troublesome.

"That's because Togami is an anti-katsuan."

Sikarabe has a lot going on with Arabe, a Drunkham executive, and information from Arabe also gives him a lot of insight into the internal circumstances of Drunkham. Shikarabe explains the situation to Yamanobe and the others.

Drancam's young faction is roughly divided into two. Katsuya and anti-Katsuya. The Katyas and those who are not Katyas. You can put it that way.

The Katyas are backshielding executives who have brought up young preferences. And it is quite organized, culminating in executives who are the backshield, and has successfully made numerous requests. Because of this, the Katyas are spending a lot of money on this prize neck crusade, thanks to the authority of their executives and their track record so far.

In contrast, anti-katsua factions are to such an extent that they call young hunters who are not katsuas. There's not even a strong tie. Moreover, he is gradually taken in by the Katyas, except for those who hate the Katyas furiously for some reason or who for deep reasons do not join the Katyas.

Every once in a while, we need to sharpen the momentum of the Katyas and make the anti-Katyas a clear force. Other faction humans who thought so turned a blind eye to young hunters like Togami. The young hunters, who have an aversion to katsuya and are quite powerful, are used as resistance forces.

With the foil of the prize neck crusade, it will be easier to counter the Katsuya faction. Togami accompanies Shikarabe and the others to make that track record. Aside from Togami, several young anti-katsuan hunters were taking part in the bounty neck crusade.

Parga speaks with a slightly dazed look.

"What. Is that harassment of Katsuya? Oh, Sikarabe hated him. Hmm? That's why you have to keep Togami alive to give it back. Isn't it creepy (first)?

"That's what they demanded, but I said no. I shut up when I said that if I had only enough strength to go home alive without a guard, I could just peel it off with foil."

"Well, if you do intend to be a force of resistance to Katsuya, do you need that degree of strength? Sure..., the current Hunter Rank of Katsuya..."

Parga tries to remember Katsuya's Hunter Rank. Sicarabe answers before Parga remembers.

"32. At that age (suppose), the Hunter Rank 32 one is not. It's only natural for her to look at me."

What Shikarabe calls that woman is a woman named Mizha, a Drunkham executive who is behind the Katyas. Mizha has devised and continues to promote youth preferences. It had boosted the fighting power of young hunters, including the Katyas, and had increased the power of Mizha, who was behind them.

Shikarabe talks abominably with a distorted expression.

"That woman is going to make Katsuya an advertising tower for Drancam. Participation in this bounty neck crusade was also part of the ad. It was also that woman who organized a prize neck crusade team almost exclusively for young hunters. Naturally, the team leader is naughty. If I succeed in the crusade, I guess I'll advertise it everywhere. A young, beautifully shaped and talented hunter. Sponsors on the inside of the fence will appreciate it."

Yamanobe speaks with a bitter smile.

"Sure, 'cause he's good on the side. We can't do this."

Parga, who was laughing with me, noticed an enemy reaction. And laugh and talk.

"It's a monster in the direction of progress. Well, let's see if we can test the strength of the antikatsuan star candidate."

Parga manipulates the comms and gives instructions to Togami.

"Number eight! A monster in the direction of progress! Come ahead and kick some ass!

The comms that Sikarabe and the others handed out to their companions are numbered. Togami's number is number eight, Akira's number is number nine.

Togami looked out in a grumpy way the whole time, but laughed invincibly when he heard instructions from Sikarabe and the others.

"Roger number eight! I'll be done in a minute!

Togami turns to Akira and gives instructions.

"Hey! Get him moving near the monster right away!

Akira silently accelerates the car suddenly. The momentum of rapid acceleration caused the car to shake heavily, causing Togami to fall out of shape and fall out of the passenger seat.

Togami complains to Akira when he rushes to regain his position.

"Hey! Drive better! What are you thinking!?

Akira looked at Togami chillingly and exhaled her little snuggle (sighs) and glanced back forward. Togami stares at Akira with his inner anger.

"Hey..."

With no concern at all, Akira continued to drive towards the target monsters without slowing the car down at all.

The target monsters are carnivores the size of Akira's car. When the monsters realized the presence of the car approaching them, they began to run with a fierce roar. The distance between the monsters and Akira is rapidly decreasing.

Akira asks without looking at Togami.

"So how close should we get?

"... stop there appropriately!

Togami replied to throw up. Akira shut up and slowly stopped the car.

Togami doesn't consider other personnel, except the Shikarabe and others, powerful enough to participate in the Bounty Neck Crusade. I consider it an understatement prepared to compensate for the lack of strength in numbers. Because many other personnel, such as children like Akira and those wearing damaged protective clothing, did not seem very strong from their equipment and appearance.

The perception is also partly correct. It would be tough to lend high-performance gear to a debtor hunter and get carried away like that. For this reason, the weapons handed over to them by Sikarabe and others are based on disposable objects that can be expected to have a certain effect, no matter who uses them. Selling alone doesn't sell at a high price and it's just hard gear to get away with in large quantities.

Togami believes that he was able to participate in the prize neck crusade by mixing himself with powerful men like Shikarabe because (because) he was duly valued by the upper management of Drancam for his high strength. That in itself is the right perception. And it's another matter of whether Togami is aware of his strengths correctly.

The distance to the monster is already very close. Togami gets out of the car with his gear. And laugh and talk like you look down at Akira ridiculously.

"I'm the only one who's been instructed. That means I'm good enough alone. You watch there in silence. I'll show you the difference in strength."

After saying that to Akira, Togami ran toward an effective offensive position.

Reaching the offensive position, Togami sets up a large firepower gun for the prize neck against the monster and confidently pulls the trigger. Countless bullets are fired in a row that only sufficiently compensate for some of the aiming madness. A bullet wears the skin, flesh, blood and bones of a monster. For a strong, vital monster, every shot of a bullet is not a major injury unless it is also a weak spot. But eating it all over your body is fatal enough. For a short time, the first body is defeated in a good enough time.

While the first one is defeated, the other two come packing a further distance. Togami definitely injures the monster while spraying bullets around the monster to dull enemy movements. The movement of the rest of the monsters slows down with injuries and starts to feel frightened when they realize they've been defeated. Togami kept shooting at the rest of the monsters and defeated them in no hurry and spare time.

Togami's grading was a battle of enough content to let him know what he was capable of. I even go back to Akira's car, looking forward to Akira's reaction to understanding my strengths.

But Togami's expectations were betrayed. Akira looked ahead in her spare time while sitting in the driver's seat. Shikarabe's car passes next to Akira and the others.

Togami stands by the car and looks at Akira with a very disgruntled look. Togami was looking for some reaction from Akira to the earlier battle. Whether that was a favorable one or not, I would have been somewhat satisfied if there had been any reaction from Akira. If that is a compliment, it will have been received as it is, if it is a slander, it will have been received as a loss, and either way, it will have satisfied Togami's self-esteem.

But Akira had no reaction at all. I'm not just ignoring Togami. There was nothing special to note. Akira's attitude seemed to be telling Togami so.

Togami asks Akira without hiding his displeasure.

"... hey, don't you have something to say to me?

"Get in quickly. You won't be able to catch up, will you?

Akira's response was somewhere inclusive.

The look on Togami's face becomes even more sinister, turning into it just before he emits an anger. It was Parga's voice from the comms that stopped Togami from regressing.

"Eight, nine, we're separated. Did you even get into trouble with the car in the fight earlier?

Akira answers.

"This is number nine. No damage to the vehicle body. I don't know why, but number eight doesn't try to get in the car. Can I just leave you?

"Is number eight nearby? Number eight, can't you move with an injury?

Togami answers dissatisfied.

"Yes, no, that's not why..."

"Then get on it!

Parga cut communication after scolding Togami.

Togami shook himself and ate his teeth and managed to contain his inner fervour and got into the car.

Akira moves the car immediately. Akira followed the Sikalabes at considerable speed to catch up with the Sikalabes, who had long been separated.

Akira and the others caught up with Shikarabe and the others without any problems. No problem. I'm talking about the distance to the car.

Akira keeps driving in silence on the surface and chatting with Alpha on the back. Next to Akira, Togami watches the wilderness in the opposite direction to Akira in silence. Though Togami's inner fervour was on the verge of decimation, the absence of a conversation between the two and the fact that if Akira made a scene in the car while driving and Akira accidentally drove, Togami would also be harmed had managed to keep the place calm.

Sunrise on the move. Daylight fills the wilderness. Alpha smiles at Akira in the morning sun (cheeks) Mm.

The sight of a small amount of time between night and morning. The place that bathed in the light of day changed into the morning, the view of the moment when the morning and the night are present simultaneously, with the shadows that have not reached the light remaining at night. In the scenery, the morning sunbathed alpha wrapped a fantastic glow around the hair and skin.

"Akira, it's morning sun."

"Right."

'... that's a dull response. More like this, any thoughts?

'I don't care if you say so...'

Akira also saw the sights around and what Alpha looked like, not at all unresponsive. But he wasn't good enough in vocabulary to properly explain the emotions that arose inside him.

"Well, it's a more memorable sight than the sunrise you see in Slam Street"

That's all Akira said. It takes different things to be able to say just that many words, and Akira didn't have any of them before.

This is where you can see the sunrise, for example. Sleeping beds should be chosen with caution so that they are not killed while sleeping. Such a place does not reach the light of sunrise.

For example, we can afford to watch the sunrise. We must always be vigilant so that someone does not attack us. The place to turn your gaze is not where the sun hits, but where you are likely to be ambushed by darkness, at the corner of an alley.

Many other elements did not allow Akira the luxury of watching the sunrise slowly.

And now there were elements in this place that would not allow Akira to continue that luxury.

Alpha points to the end of the wilderness.

"Akira, it's a monster. It's already noticed. I'll be right over here. '

Akira remembers the frustration (I don't want it) that she doesn't quite understand, and follows that sentiment to the rear of the car in silence. Position the CWH objective assault gun installed in the rear of the car toward a monster at a distance. And somehow he set his aim firmly with a grumpy look and pulled the trigger without getting lost.

The dedicated bullet of the fired CWH objective assault gun was precisely hit between the eyebrows, the weak spot of the monster, by precision shooting with the support of Alpha. The bullet that crushed the head of the monster went straight through the torso of the monster, flashly destroying limbs with impact and disappearing to the end of the wilderness.

Parga's instructions come out of the comms.

"Number nine. It's a big monster from your right hand. Leaving it alone from the speed of travel will catch up to you. Deal with it."

"This is number nine. It's over."

"... what?

Parga's short questioning voice returned when she heard Akira's response from the comms. After a short period of time, Parga, who has confirmed the enemy response, does not seep into a mild surprise and speaks.

"... uh, I checked here as well. Keep up the good work next time."

"Number nine, roger."

Akira returns to the driver's seat somewhat grumpy. Alpha laughing fun watching Akira. Akira talks to misdemonize it (sesame seeds), embarrassed by how the alpha looks.

"What is it?"

'It's nothing. To the extent that Akira was disturbed and angry, she enjoyed the sight of the sunrise.'

…… Sort of. '

I wasn't just enjoying the sight of the sunrise, but that's all Akira answered her blurring.

Alpha smiles after noticing a lot more than Akira. Akira was getting used to seeing Alpha in many ways, but her appearance in the morning sun seemed to outweigh Akira's.

Next to Akira, who returned to drive, Togami, who was watching Akira's behavior, continued to flash.

There was another monster a little further from the monster Akira defeated. It's a spider-like monster made of steel about a meter long. The eyes on the head were on camera. The monster was watching Akira snipe on that camera.

After Akira and the others left for a while, the monster moved somewhere making a noise.
