Rebuild World

Akira survived the turmoil with Lion's Tail, and the monster certification from Kugamayama City and the 50 billion aurum prize were withdrawn.Now that the equipment has returned to just waiting for it to arrive from Kusaka Heavy Industries, Kibayashi contacts us.The place I was summoned to was the restaurant on the first floor of the Kugama building.

At the table where the meal was ordered, the palm in his clothes laughs happily at Akira.

"Nevertheless, you've done a flashy job this time."I didn't think you'd be able to break through the bulwark and flash against the city, so I actually thought it would be a bit indigestible, but I also shot the anti-extinction warheads properly, and I don't know why. A swarm of giants will come out, and I'm very satisfied. "

Akira gave a boring expression.

I'm glad to hear that.

The palm did not care at all for Akira's attitude.

"Yeah, I thought you'd do it."And even before the equipment arrived from Slope Down Heavy Industries, it was that fuss.How much fuss will it make after it arrives? "

"Don't think about it on the premise that there will be a disturbance."

Akira smiled joyfully, as if to say that Akira could not do it, and as if to say that the reason for not doing it was in Akira.

Akira slipped away and exhaled.Only to the extent that I knew that the cause of the commotion was also in me, the slippery breath was a little deep.

"... well, I'm glad you prepared the gear and ammo through the swordfish."It would have been dangerous without it.I'll seriously thank you there. "

"Don't worry about it. You and I are close.I hope you can let me have some fun with that. "

As for Akira, I don't want to do anything to entertain the palm trees.Akira's expression turned into a disgusting expression on her face.However, it only had the effect of making the palm trees in a good mood.Akira slipped out again, exhaling and making another topic to switch her mind.

"Nevertheless, we were able to prepare anti-extinction warheads."Well, it's not that easy to source, is it?At that time, I was certified as a monster by the city, but you can't usually give an anti-extinction warhead to such a person. "

"Oh, that. That surprised me, too."

"I'm surprised... that was a falcon, wasn't it?"

"Well, yes, but not exactly."You know how powerful those anti-extinction warheads are.With my strength, I can't procure anything without doing my best. "

"... then how did you get those anti-extinction warheads?"

Akira, who had a strange look on her face, was laughing deeply.

"Someone turned their hand behind my back so I could procure anti-extinction warheads."From your standpoint at the time, I would like you to shoot an anti-extinction warhead into the bulwark.Because it's a workmanship that eventually turns out that the anti-extinction warhead will flow to you. "

"That anti-extinction warhead... was prepared for me to shoot at the city walls?"

Akira reveals her surprise, and the palm trees talk about the behind the trick with pleasure.

"Well, maybe." My original plan was to have you wait until the equipment arrived from Slope Heavy Industries, and then have you fight flashy.I supplied you with gear and ammo to stop you from acting like you were desperate because you were hunted by a shortage of ammo.Explain to the city of Kugamayama what is necessary to contain your outrage and to stretch the fuse.And when the equipment arrived from Slope Heavy Industries, I was going to ask you to publicly announce the date and time of the barrier raid.That way, the city would be well prepared to intercept you, and the Nationalists would be willing to help you out in the fight with their names on the list, which would have been a terrible uproar.As a workmanship in the previous stage, it was also possible that it was part of the route construction to supply you with anti-extinction warheads through me..... "

If that was the case, the enemy and allies might have fought with anti-extinction warheads, and the outside of the barrier might have disappeared.Akira was slightly attracted to the appearance of the palm trees that happily recounted such stories.However, it was me who took the opportunity to fight, and it was also me who pulled the trigger for the start of the battle, so I could not denounce the palm trees all at once.Ask something else instead.

"Hey, Kibaba palm is also a city official at first, right?"Is it okay to do that? "

"Hmm? If you're asking in the sense of process or method, it's not okay at all."I supplied an anti-extinction warhead to a monster-certified one from the city.If you're not good enough, you've crossed a bridge so dangerous that you can get a bounty from the city. "

Akira, who was dumbfounded after being told to do so, then turned her strange face towards the palm.

"It's not okay... then, what happened?"Did you even lose your neck? "

"No, I got a promotion."

"... why?"

"Even if the process and methods were a problem, in the end, they were fine.I did send you an anti-extinction warhead, but you didn't shoot it into the city, and the damage to the city was contained by defeating those giants with that anti-extinction warhead. "

"It's okay, so..."

"It's okay." Certainly, if the problem behavior in the organization is successful, it is dangerous to have no problem, but that doesn't mean you can fail if there is no problem with the process or method.Especially if the damage is great in case of failure. "

In consequence theory, the palm has been able to respond flexibly to the overwhelming danger of Akira and minimize the damage to the city.At least that's what Kibayashi himself explained to the city.And the executives who had just been reluctant to deal with the situation could only say what they liked after they had finished saying what they wanted, and could not effectively argue.

In addition, as a city, we cannot lose useful human resources that can cope with dangerous people like Akira. Considering that similar situations may occur in the future, if we do not do well, we will not hesitate to execute the means to cause great damage to the city. Even taking into account the personality of the palm trees, we were forced to evaluate the palm trees as the response personnel.

(It should be noted) Hikaru's reputation also rose due to the relatively straightforward personality he had previously succeeded in controlling Akira after receiving the aftermath.And when the next similar situation occurred, the intention of the city was to let Hikaru deal with it first.

Food ordered by Akira and the others is brought to the table.Akira changes the subject again before she eats it.

"Cooking is here too, so it's time to get down to business."I didn't call you to chat, did I? "

"I see. Akira lives in a house I brokered in before, right?"

Yeah, but...

"I'm sorry, but you have to leave."

"... what?"

Akira, who thought it was a matter for the city because it was called by a cypress, was surprised by the unexpected.The spiny palm laughs at the reaction as imagined.

"Today it's for my personal use."If I'm calling you as a city official, the place to call is the restaurant upstairs.At my expense. Oh, if you want to give me a luxury, can I transfer to you now? "

"No. So why are you telling me to leave suddenly?"

"I got a cry from a renter in your house."Please don't say that. "

"Oh... I see."

Akira, who had a lot of alienation, was able to guess the reason for that this time.We destroyed the slums in an engagement with Leon's Tail's troops.Lessees probably don't want to put the area they control next to destruction.I could have imagined that much.

"I said that I would pay for the move, and I have a relationship with the renter."I don't force it, but it would be helpful if you could leave quietly. What do you say? "

"I'm going to ask you, but what if I say no?"

"Isn't there nothing we can do?"You're not the only one with enough courage to live on your side, and the lease will be cut.But I can't kick you out with all my might.The renter is sobbing. You'll be living with mourning every day until you go bankrupt. "

"I-I see..."

If Akira is told to come out, high pressure, Akira will also learn to repulse, but if she is told to give up and cry, Akira will also learn something similar to light guilt.The palm trees that sensed the sensitivity were multiplied by it.

"You don't have a grudge against the renter, do you?"Get out of here.In the first place, it's a house with about 30 Hunter Ranks, right?This isn't the house you live in.It's a good opportunity, isn't it? If you leave quietly, I'll give you a ride to your new home. "

When Akira had no choice, she exhaled in small breaths.

"Okay, I got it."

"All right, then, sign this."

That's what the quail said and gave out the paperwork for the deportation procedure.Akira asks Alpha to check the content and signs it as it is, because there was no problem.Then, I laughed at the significance of the paperwork.

"It's a deal." Now my evaluation is also the climbing of the eels. "

"Why do you think the baboons are getting better when I move?"

"There are a lot of things." I can't talk to outsiders because it involves the internal situation of the city.But I'm with you.Can I tell you something?The condition is to move properly without making a mess of it. What do we do? "

Akira was concerned about the meaningful content of the Kiba palm, and she had already agreed to the exit procedure.

“Okay, so what's it about?”

"In fact, there are plans to build a second barrier in the city."Well, the plan itself had been in place for a long time, but it was always ahead of schedule because of the budget.However, in the case of this disturbance, in addition to the sudden increase in the budget due to the compensation from Leon's Tail, the number of people who wanted to relocate within the barrier grew to a different level, and the plan moved forward towards the realization.The disturbance caused considerable damage to the subdivision, but the bulwark remains intact.The value of safety. Its cost-effectiveness has been reviewed.The people who thought that living inside the barrier was just a status, and apart from that status, they thought that a residence for the wealthy in the lower section would be enough, and they rushed to let me inside the wall.Thanks to this, the land price inside the bulwark boils down.Even the inhabitants of the bulwark were driven out by the richest people.Even if you build more houses to suit potential tenants, there will be no more land on the inside of the house than it is surrounded by walls.There is also a limit to the need for space on top of high-rise buildings.That's why we're going to dismantle that area once and for all by building a second barrier. "

Huh. That's right.

"It encloses part of the lower section with a second barrier, but the place inside the new wall naturally boils down to its value.We're still in the selection process, but we're already starting to secure land that's likely to be chosen. ”

Kibayashi laughs deeply when he says so much.

"That's it. The area you live in is a pretty good location, except for where you live."

So I noticed Akira's flash stone.

Ah, I see.

The move was due to the expectations of renters who wanted their land to become within the new barrier, and the intention of cities who did not want Akira inside the second barrier.And the Kiba palm, which succeeded in driving Akira out peacefully, will be highly appreciated by the city and renters alike.

The vulture laughs amusedly.

"That's right. Well, your move will come from the money around here, so you can build a luxurious house with that money and convince me."

"I understand.... hm? You want to build a house?Instead of borrowing it? "

"I'm going to build it. I'm telling you, basically, there's no renter in Kugamayama City that rents out your house?"Are you aware of what you've done? "

When she said that, Akira couldn't even say it back.Akira, who had a difficult face close to a bitter smile, turned to Akira, and the palm trees continued to entertain her.

“Rest assured, there are a lot of hunters who have done similar things and been in the same position, albeit with varying degrees of difficulty.I promise I'll give you a ride to your new home, and I'll teach you exactly what to do in that case. "

"Thank you."

Turning to Akira, who replied with a slight abandonment, the palm trees laughed happily.

Akira was taught by Kibayashi that the means of procuring new homes was to build homes on the outskirts of the city.Among the hunters who can no longer live in the city for various reasons, it is one of the usual methods used by those who have enough force and are not so bad as to be sent to crusade against the city.

Such places are, of course, poorly secured.From the wilderness, monsters emerge, and from the slums, robberies and the like come.But it's not an obstacle for the hunter to implement that method, such as an opponent of that magnitude.Resident Hunter himself can act as a deterrent and improve security around him by force.

Hire a security guard when you open a house for the collection of artifacts, etc.When renting a house in a city, the rent basically includes the cost of guarding the security company responsible for maintaining security in the neighborhood. Same as that.

If you hire multiple guards individually, if you go well, it will become a new security company backed by the hunter of your employer, which will improve the security around your home widely and in the long term.There are more people in the land with good security, and the value of security is added, and the economy also develops.

And when it meets a certain standard, the area will be incorporated into the city as a new excellent subdivision.By that time, the hunter will be recognized as the backbone of a good economic zone, and his achievements will restore his credibility and trust and allow him to rent a home in the city again if necessary.

Akira, who was told those stories, was further advised by the Kiba palm to ask Sheryl and the others to take care of it.This is because the company is already organized without starting a new security company, it is under the de facto control of Akira, and the force is sufficient to maintain security in the slums, and there is a breath of the city's cadres called Inabe.Many things are convenient. After I left my home, I was told I could rent Cheryl's base again until I had a new home.

After hearing those stories, Akira broke up with Kibayashi and headed straight for Cheryl's base.Cheryl's smile shone with great joy when she heard about the situation.

“Okay, I'll take care of it.We will take care of the security, and you are very welcome to stay with Akira at the base for a while.I think you should live here now, too, right?If you tell me, I'll open up the room of my choice, and I'll change the floor plan to Akira's liking.... "

"No, as expected of the stony (literally)."I'll build my house somewhere. "

"I see. Then how about next to this base?"I think it would be convenient in the near future. ”

"...... I'll take my time thinking about it, including around here."I have to think about it as a floor plan for my house. "

"That's right. I can't rebuild it because I don't like it after it is built."I think it's better to take the time to think it over. ”

The longer the design takes, the more time Akira spends at the base.Cheryl smiled and urged Akira to choose carefully.

"That's right. I'll think about it slowly.I have a budget... oh, yes.Cheryl. If Viola is here, call her.I need to talk to you for a second. "

Got it.

Cheryl gets in touch with Viola as soon as she wonders what the budget of the house has to do with the Viola.Viola was just working for the Cabal at the base and soon showed up.

"Akira. It's been a long time. What are you talking about?"

Viola's face was slightly stiffened as she laughed in the guise of calmness.

Viola was previously killed by Akira for involving her in a slum battle, and she has been brought to life in exchange for her help in negotiating with Cheryl.And the last time I met Akira, Akira threatened me halfway with information about Chloe's whereabouts, and I was told that I was glad to keep you alive as a fee for that information.It was also said to expect Chloe to be there when she left.

Viola doesn't know if Akira met Chloe with the information she provided.If I hadn't met you, Akira might have killed me here, saying I didn't have to keep you alive.It was a bounty of 50 billion orums, and even the family of the founders of Leonzteil tried to kill it.We don't know if Akira killed him, but we have confirmed that Chloe is dead.Whoever decides to kill them will do so.Thinking so, Viola could not pretend to be perfectly calm in front of Akira.

Meanwhile, Akira was completely unaware of the viola's heart. Speak normally.

"Oh, Cheryl owed me a debt, didn't she?Sure, it's like a shield on the back.I think Viola managed it, but how much is it now?It's rough and good, so tell me. "

Viola smiles as usual, reassuringly.

"Yeah, about 50 billion ohms, I guess."

"Fifty billion..."

The amount is the highest amount that Viola would not suspect from Akira.And it was to make Akira think that it would be better to keep herself alive to repay the huge debt to Cheryl.

While thinking that Cheryl was very expensive, she couldn't say that it was too expensive in front of Akira, and she kept her gaze on Viola so that Akira could understand the legitimacy of the amount.

And Akira, who neglected to calculate the amount of the hand, was convinced that it was the same amount as the prize amount that had been hung on her.On top of that, I tell you lightly.

"All right, then, Cheryl." You don't have to pay back the annoying fees or anything like that when you fight Leon's Tail. "

Cheryl and Viola are surprised that Akira has let go of 50 billion ohms in claims. Akira went on.

"And the one like my back cover, such as the security fee for my house I asked for earlier, or the investment in the artifact dealer?"I want you to deal with it as if it were a stock or a security or something like that.I'm a pain in the ass to pay my debts. "

When she heard that, Cheryl's face turned from a look of surprise to a smile of strong joy.For Sheryl, debt is also an important element that connects Akira and herself.If it's simply erased, Sheryl feels more anxious than happy.However, the anxiety was eliminated by presenting the elements of Akira's continuous connection together, such as home security fees and investments in relic stores.On the other hand, I could be purely pleased that we helped Akira with Lion's Tail.

"Ok, Akira. Thank you for taking your seats.Please continue to do so. "

"Yeah. Well, I did." Well, if this is good for Cheryl, then Viola is next. "

Well, what is it?

It is also why Akira and Cheryl keep Viola alive by having her help run the party to pay off the huge debts imposed on Cheryl.As soon as it disappeared, Viola was impatient with the boulders.

"When I received information from Viola about Chloe's whereabouts, I took out the previous loan instead of the information fee because there was no money, but now I have money.After all, should I pay properly? "

"... at least a few billion ohms, sometimes with more digits.That's what I said, but don't you remember? "

“I remember. Billions of ohms can be paid, and even more digits depend on the amount.”

In fact, Akira had enough money.The expenses charged to Leonzteil were paid shortly thereafter.This amount included equipment purchased from Shilou for 16 billion ohms and the cost of lost motorcycles, which totalled about 20 billion ohms.

We will cover all expenses incurred as a result of the series of disturbances.Even though this was the case in the deal with Alice, the representative of Lion's Tail Eastern Head Office, Akira was reminded of the power of a large company once again by the power of the other party who immediately paid the contents of the 20 billion aurum bill in full.

And Akira told Shiloh the same thing, and asked him whether he should return 16 billion aurams.However, Shilou didn't say that it was okay to give it back. On the contrary, he complained that it was okay to give it back, and as promised, he was stung with a nail, asking him to properly prioritize my convenience.

In such circumstances, Akira could afford to pay Chloe's location information fee with money.However, considering the construction cost of the house and the re-purchase cost of ammunition, I decided that it was better to clear out the information fee first.Paying about 10 billion ohms to Viola for information puts pressure on other budgets, but since the information received was correct, Akira gave priority to paying the appropriate amount.

So, how much is it?

Viola twists and turns. Akira ignores her rush, and she knows what she can actually pay for.And when I received the information fee with money, I could easily guess that there was no cancellation of the loan that Akira paid instead of the information fee, and that it was good to keep you alive.

And if you say an unreasonably high amount in order to make it an amount that you can never pay, you will be discovered by Akira, or (some) will be pointed out by Cheryl, and I also understood that the situation will worsen.

Viola dares to (ah) smile with a good smile in the usual meaningful tone.

"... there's something I need to ask you first."How much did that information offset my debt to Akira?At that time, Akira only asked me to expect Chloe to be there.According to the information, Chloe was there, wasn't she?Then the information is correct, and you have to accept the value.So, how much do you want to offset? "

"Hmm, that's right..."

Akira thinks, "Ugh."Viola looked at the situation with an extra smile on her face, and looked nervous inside.And Akira draws her conclusions.

"When Cheryl asks me to kill Viola, I'm going to ask what happened and ask you to think about it a little more, depending on what happened."Because I kept Viola alive, I got that information. "

As soon as she pulled the word out of Akira, Viola got out of her predicament.Because the word virtually means that Cheryl can't kill Viola at her own discretion.Inadvertently smiled in earnest.

"Then that's fine with the information fee."That's when the deal was made, so you don't need the money. "

"Really? But I was wondering if I could pay that time, and I thought money would be better..."

Continuing with Akira, who said it in a strange manner, Cheryl smiled and pinched her mouth.

“Yes, I think money is better, too.If you are reluctant to pay because the payment will be expensive, I will also pay from the party.I can expect some help from Inabe-san..... "

Cheryl wants to get rid of Viola as soon as she's ready.And now that the debt to Akira has been written off, I decided that there is no problem even if I regarded the viola as used.Because even Lion's Tail had a too strong backing called Akira, and the need to keep Viola alive for fine coordination with other organizations was drastically reduced.

After that, I urged Akira to solve this matter with money, because there is no reason why Akira should miss Viola.

Looking at Akira, who was almost prompted by the words, Viola suddenly sandwiched her mouth.

“No, for whatever reason, it would be a blasphemy to change a deal once concluded.The more powerful the hunter, the more credible he is.It would be tough if I forgive you for imitating me like that.After the transaction is concluded, the details of the transaction shall be strictly observed.If that trust wobbles, you can't make a real (decent) deal.Even if the opponent is more advantageous, it will set a precedent that will allow for unlimited changes, rather than overturning what has been decided. ”

Akira was convinced of the importance of the area.There were also cases where Shiloh pushed back 16 billion aurams, and I suggested billions of aurams because I thought it was a lot of money, but I agreed with Viola that if you said you don't need a partner, you should give priority.

"That's true, too." Okay, that's all we need to talk about. ”

I see? Well then, I'm busy, so I'll be back.

Viola laughed and walked away, turning her back on Akira and the others.I could barely smile at the cheryl's tongue slapping that I heard from behind.

Sheryl turned to Akira with a slightly difficult expression.

"Akira. Did the information you received from Viola help you so much?"

Huh? Well, that's fair enough.

"I see..."

In order to reduce the value of keeping the viola alive, we should also acquire the ability to gather information from now on.Cheryl laughed and made up her mind.

Akira was at home, enjoying her last bath in this house.

We've already arranged a move, and tomorrow we'll take the package to Cheryl's base and leave.

When I rented this house, I felt that the bathtub was too luxurious, and I got used to it many times. After experiencing bathing in the luxury bathroom provided at the base of Sheryl, I became a little dissatisfied.Even so, when I thought this was the last time, I felt like I was going to die.

Akira recalls various things that have happened since she rented this house and makes a moving voice.

"Nevertheless, there have been many things since I rented this house."

As usual, the alpha bathing together smiles to respond to Akira's emotions.

That's right. There was a lot going on.

"It was hard, wasn't it?"

"Yeah. That was a lot of work.But we're almost there. Once the equipment arrives from Slope Heavy Industries, we can finally get to the ruins. ”

Akira wasn't expecting that.But if they tell me about it, my consciousness will go there.

"... I see. Gradually."

"Yeah. It's been a long time." No, was it shorter than I thought?

"I wonder what's going on.Well, after the gear arrived, and after I finished Shiloh's work,I'll just wait for the rest, but when will it arrive..... "

So I got a call from Kibayashi.When I came out to it via Alpha, I was told strange things by the gnarled palm in an upbeat voice.

"Hello, Akira. I have three communications for you.It's a good story, a bad story, a little good story. "

”... that's a bad story, a bad story, a little bad story, isn't it?”

Sometimes the opponent was the opponent, and Akira returned a guarded voice.

Don't worry, I won't do that.I'll tell you a good story to prove it. "

I see. What?

Your gear is in transit, but you're already near the city of Kugamayama.

Having heard that, Akira was surprised and inadvertently joyful.But it soon turned into a slightly steeper face.

"...... So, what's the bad story?"

It's an intercity transport vehicle that's transporting luggage destined for you, but I think it's stuck in the wilderness because of some kind of accident.There is no prospect of the operation resuming. "

"Is that how it falls..."

Akira let out a wide, slippery breath.When she heard that, the palm trees continued in an upbeat voice.

Don't be so depressed. There's still a little good to be said, isn't there?If you hear that, you'll be motivated all at once. "

"I hope so. So?"

"Even if I go to pick up the package because it is addressed to me, it will not normally be given to me.And the packages were meant for the frontline.It was strictly handled. I will not give it to anyone other than the recipient at the designated place.Identity checks can be tough, and ultimately, even with the equipment you receive, it's technically Slope Heavy Industries' cargo in transit.Even if it's my luggage, it's definitely not my baggage. "

"What's so good about that?"

"Don't panic. It's from here."If you want, I can arrange for you to pick it up and give it to me.It means transporting them on your behalf.What do you say? That's a good story, isn't it?Well, I have the idea that I'm going to wait until it reaches me because it's troublesome to go on my own, and considering the area, it's a bit of a good story. What do we do?

If I say I'm not going to get it, what will happen to my gear?

It's just that delivery is delayed. I don't know how late it will be, but it will arrive someday.But I have to remind you many times.You want it soon, don't you?

"... that's right. I asked."

"Alright. Leave it to me. I'll arrange it right away."You should be ready, too. Bye. "

Akira had a difficult expression when she finished communicating with Kibayashi.I think it's good that Akira can go get her own gear.However, I was very concerned that the intercity transport vehicle was stuck in the wilderness.

Previously, intercity transport vehicles did not get stuck, whether they were travelling back and forth to the city of Zegelt or there was a commotion at that time.There is no doubt that something is happening that could stall that intercity transport vehicle.That's why the Kiba palm is trying to get itself there.I knew it was Akira.

Alpha smiles as usual.

Let's hope nothing happens and get ready to go as far as we can.

"...... That's right."

Perhaps that expectation will be betrayed.That is why we are prepared to do everything we can.Understanding what she said, Akira returned a bitter smile.
