Reawaken the World

Trust (part1)

"After arriving back to the city safely, Akira went straight to the Exchange Center and lined up in front of one of the counters. And just like last time, Nojima's man was standing behind the desk."

 

"Nojima remembered Akira clearly. But she doesn't immediately respond to Akira, instead, she acts as if Akira is just a stranger to her."

 

(“Give me your hunter ID if you have .. Wait, it's you, huh?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Nojima was rather surprised at how much Akira had changed. The last time he met Akira, he thought Akira was just another little boy from the slums. But Akira looks a lot different now. He actually resembled a Hunter with the equipment he took from Kahimo and Hayya. But not only that, the biggest difference was the faint aura he gave, it was the aura of someone who had gone through baptism in the desert."

 

"Registering Yourself as a Hunter does not make You a Hunter. But the person standing in front of Nojima was indeed a Hunter, even though it was only a beginner."

 

"Given her, Nojima laughed a little as he thought that Akira would not die any time soon. Then he rearranged himself and started moving into the order of his business."

 

(“So, what you have today .. Strange, is that what you brought before because of sheer luck?”) 

 

"Although it didn't look expensive at all, it was an item he brought back after risking his own life. Therefore, Akira was a little upset when Nojima vilified the item he was carrying."

 

(“Well, I'm sorry because it looks terrible. Nevertheless, it was a relic from the old world that I brought back from the destruction. I should have been able to get the rest of the money from the previous relic with this item .. And also, what do you mean by pure luck? ”) 

 

"About making a crooked face, which, Nojima just laughed lightly."

 

(“You'll know soon. ”) 

 

"Nojima took the same tray that Akira used earlier from the back shelf and used his other hand to operate the terminal. After which, the paper money came out from the machine beside him. Nojima took the money and put it in an envelope before extending it to Akira with a laugh."

 

(“We finished checking the relic you brought earlier. For now, your total payout is 200,000 Aurum. ”) 

 

"Akira's mind went blank for a moment when she heard the number. He then slowly grabbed the envelope and took out the money. After touching and looking at the real thing in front of him, he was stunned. To him, who fought to the death for only 300 Aurums yesterday, these 200,000 Aurums were truly unbelievable."

 

"Nojima was satisfied with how Akira reacted and laughed."

 

 

(“Not many kids get this much money here, you know? Use it wisely, okay? Then go now before you start attracting more attention. ”) 

 

"When Akira regained his composure, he immediately stuffed the envelope into his breast pocket in panic and awkwardly left the Exchange Center. Seeing how Akira changed back from a novice hunter to a little boy from the slums, Nojima let out a bitter laugh."

 

 

"Even after leaving the Exchange Center, Akira continued to move awkwardly, he just couldn't calm down. Seeing that, Alpha spoke to him in a soothing voice."

 

[Akira, relax. If you allow yourself to be shaken by this much money, it will only get worse in the future, you know? ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"Hearing these words, Akira, who was speechless after earning an amount of money he never imagined, accidentally opened his mouth."

 

(“Hah! This much money, you say !? What are you talking about !? 200,000 aurums, you know !? This is a huge amount of money for me. ”) 

 

"Alpha locked her eyes on Akira as she said to him in a strong tone."

 

[No, it's just a small amount. This is nothing compared to the amount you can get with my support. Get this inside your head. ]

 

 

(“B-fine, even if you tell me so ..”) 

 

[After all, you look like a retarded child talking to yourself, so be careful. ]

 

"Close his mouth in panic. Due to the large amount of money he earned, Akira could become an easy and delicious target. Besides, he was sticking out like a sore thumb because he was acting awkward."

 

[Let's take a break today. I'm sure you're quite tired after coming back from the devastation. In addition, you will only attract more attention if you just stand here. ]

 

(“You're right. I understand . ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"About quiet enough to answer Alpha in a whisper. But he still looked a bit uneasy on the way to his bed. But then Alpha suddenly stopped him with a serious face."

 

[It's not like this. ]

 

(“Eh? But my bed is there. ”) 

 

[No, you will sleep in the inn today. You have money for that now, don't you? ]

 

(“Y-yah, you were right, but ..”) 

 

"Since she had just received an amount she never imagined, Akira felt very heavy with the money. But then Alpha smiled gently at her as if she was reprimanding a child."

 

[If you feel really heavy with just this amount, it will only lower the value of your life, you know. And it's not like we're going to use it in vain. Because you got it right, so you have to use it right too. I'll give you my support on how to spend money efficiently as well .. So, you believe in my support, don't you?]

 

"I guess I couldn't say no after being told that. Both have pledged to build trust between them. So he made a firm nod while trying to calm himself."

 

(“...Good . ”) 

 

[Thank you, then, will we go to the inn now? By the way, is it alright if I choose an inn for you to stay in?]

 

(“Yes, I'll hand it to you. ”) 

 

[Through here. ]

 

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"Alpha giggled as she walked in front of Akira to guide him. When he followed Alpha from behind, he couldn't help but worry about how much money he would need for lodging."

 

"It was normal for inns to let their customers carry their weapons. But since they would carry powerful and destructive weapons, it would cause death tolls and great damage to the inn if they used those weapons to cause a commotion. Thus, all customers are expected to behave well. That is the basic rule that all customers must abide by. Well, even if you cause the death of someone or some type of loss to the Inn, you will still be considered a well-behaved customer if you pay the lodging compensation sufficiently. But since Alpha chose a cheap inn near the slum, the rules were not very strict here. The inn will gladly accept an armed child from the slum as long as the child pays them. Thus, Akira can make a reservation without any problems."

 

"About booking a room at an average price. The room was quite large and was therefore an inn designed for Hunters, as well, it had a large empty area for the Hunters to carry out maintenance on their equipment or just keep all the relics they had on them. The room even has a bathtub and a bed as well. Not to mention, there is also a variety of food in the refrigerator. It's safer to sleep here than outside. There was a stark difference comparing it to Akira's bed in the back alley."

 

(“20.000 Aurum for overnight yes ... It was just a robbery ..”) 

 

"About fully understanding why he had to pay so much money for the room. But, Akira did not look happy, even though he could sleep in a luxurious place that was much better than his bed in the back alley. Instead, he made a rather complicated face."

 

"Understanding why he had to pay so much money is not the same as actually paying that money. Akira's hands shook as he paid for his room. The alpha chose that room. If it depends on Akira, then it's not wrong he'll choose a cheaper room."

 

"About sighing, it was clear that he was a bit disappointed that he had to spend his money on unnecessary expenses despite the fact that he was against it. Realizing that, Alpha just laughed awkwardly."

 

[I'm sure there's a lot on your mind right now, but how about you relax and take a shower now?]

 

(“...Mandi? A bath?! Yeah, I'm gonna take a shower now. ”) 

 

"About immediately beamed happily as she heard the word bath."

 

 

"About being able to vaguely remember when was the last time he went to take a bath, thus, he happily headed to the bath."

 

"About washing his body while waiting for the bath to be filled with hot water. She washed every nook and cranny of her body with the soap prepared there and enjoyed the water by using it excessively. It was not something he could do before. He enjoyed a certain luxury beyond his reach when he lived in the back alley. It took a while before he washed away the mud and dust from his body and started making bubbles with soap."

 

"As soon as she completely washed her body, she checked the water in the bathtub. He then immediately dipped himself in a hot tub until the water was parallel to his shoulder. He relaxed back as he groaned strangely. He then let the water take over his body as if the hot water was just washing away all his weariness. As his face began to subside, his consciousness melted into the hot water and he could not help but mutter a few words. "

 

[How's the water?]

 

"About immediately turning into the source of the sound, he could see Alpha had already dipped himself into the bathtub along with Akira. He sat in a provocative position right beside Akira, but the fog prevented Akira from seeing his figure clearly. Water droplets formed on his skin and were sucked into the valley in his chest. The only thing hiding that beautiful body was the mirages and fog produced by the hot water."

(‹Lecsyan: Fuck !!! Bloody sensor fog! Enemy of mankind!›) 

"Ts: This code→ (‹...... ›) sign to indicate message bubble or author explanation."

"Of course, since Alpha doesn't have a real body, he can't really dip himself in the water. He just showed her such a picture. But since it was an image produced through high-level calculations, there was not even the slightest strangeness emanating from that image. It was an image produced by calculating the distortion that came from the refraction of hot water. As long as Akira doesn't grab it, he'll look normal. The only thing that showed that her beautiful body was unreal was the hot water vapor that entered her body."

 

"Akira's mind was still numb from the pleasure when she answered back."

 

(“.... It's heavenly .. Why are you naked?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Alpha giggles mischievously."

 

[You can't shower with clothes on, right?]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“. ”) 

 

"He was confident in Alpha's answer and nodded slightly without revealing much of a reaction when he saw her naked. She looked over and continued to enjoy the bath."

 

"Alpha kept staring at Akira and kept laughing, she made sure to remember Akira's lack of reaction."

 

 

[Accordingly, don't you have something to say after looking at my body?]

 

"About looked a bit confused as he tilted his head. He tried to use his brain, but most of his consciousness had been melted into hot water, so he could only answer with fragmented words."

 

(“…? … Well .. You did say ... Something about ... Computer graphics or something .. So like .... That's fake .. Right? ”) 

 

[Yes, you are right. But that's not the main point here. It's more like, do you have a comment, or an impression or something after seeing my beautiful body? ]

 

"About tilting his head again while looking confused. After trying to twist his now closed brain, he finally opened his mouth."

 

(“.... You have .. Big chest ...?”) 

 

"Alpha giggled awkwardly."

 

[Yes, it's true. But I'm asking for your opinion about my body, or like your preferences and type. But ... Your answer just now feels a little bland. ]

 

"Although he was just a boy, it did not change the fact that he was bathing with a beautiful girl. But Akira's reaction was really weak. It was as if she had no interest in her well-endowed chest, or her shiny skin, or her soft, smooth back. But for Akira who had already let the hot water take over her, her eyes said that she had absolutely no interest in Alpha's naked body."

 

"Before the hot water lulled Akira to sleep, Alpha gave him a warning while giggling."

 

[You'll drown if you sleep here, you know. ]

 

 

(“... Fuck ... I'll let ... I die here ... What .... should I do?”) 

 

[Wake up from the shower, clean your body, go to bed and sleep. ]

 

(“...Good . ”) 

 

"About standing up while swaying from side to side and slowly dragging himself out of the bathtub. Then he wiped his body, changed into his pajamas and dove into his bed. He was then immediately attacked by a heavy drowsiness."

 

[Good night . ]

 

(“Goodnight...”) 

 

"Good night which Alpha always said in a soft and sweet voice, Akira could only answer faintly due to his drowsiness. And then he went straight to his dream."

 

"***"

 

"The next day, Akira woke up not long after sunrise. Compared to his usual schedule, he woke up very late. All the accumulated fatigue and a much better bed than his usual place in the back alley was a mistake as it made him wake up so late."

 

"And even after she opened her eyes, Akira was more confused than usual. A comfortable bed dulls his brain. But then Alpha spoke to him with a smile."

 

[Good morning, Akira. Did you sleep well?]

 

(“... Good morning, Alpha …? Waitie?! Where am I!?”) 

 

"When Alpha talks to him, his consciousness returns, but then Akira immediately jumps in shock when he finds himself waking up in an unknown place. He then looked around in panic. If he was in the back alley and was not on guard with his surroundings, then it would be a fatal mistake and he would die now. His face turned extremely pale as he panicked."

 

"Alpha answered Akira's question in a soft voice to calm Akira."

 

[It's a room inside the inn you live in, you don't remember?]

 

"I guess I finally remembered what happened yesterday when he breathed a sigh of relief."

 

(“... Right, I slept at the inn yesterday, yes ?!”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Alpha then pointed his finger quietly."

 

[For now, how about you get something for breakfast? You do not need to go to a food distribution place today, so you can be calm. ]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"Food is included in the rent and there will be no refund if he does not consume food. With a happy mood, Akira began to prepare his breakfast with food that he normally could not eat."

 

"The food and equipment are warm and the drinking water is very cold. This is enough to make the food here so special compared to the food that is usually distributed. Not to mention he could enjoy such food in a private place where there was no danger of people robbing food from him. Akira could not help but relax as he enjoyed the food that he could not even imagine he would be able to enjoy."

 

('As expected of the 200,000 Aurum I got yesterday') 

"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."

"Alpha smiled meaningfully at Akira as if she knew what Akira was thinking."

 

[Are you not happy that you could spend the night in such an inn? ]

 

(“Yes, that's good. ”)
