Reawaken the World

Hunter Backups (Part 2)

"About noticing that as he proceeded to ask Katsuragi a question."

 

(“Ah, by the way, do you sell information terminals? I needed something cheap that could be used without any complicated setup and I was fine with the most basic. ”) 

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

(“Even if you say the most basic, everyone has a different interpretation of it, you know?”) 

 

(“It's okay as long as it can be used to contact me. It's for Sheryl so she can keep in touch with me. ”) 

 

(“Then, it will be 20,000 Aurum. ”) 

 

"About handing over 20,000 Aurums to Katsuragi and receiving the information terminal. He then connected it to his own information terminal to complete the important arrangements before giving it to Sheryl."

 

(“You can contact me with this if anything happens. If you can't contact me for a long period of time, just assume I'm dead. Remember that I will assume the same if I cannot contact you as well. ”) 

 

(“A-I understand, thank you. ”) 

 

(“And also, about showing up at the base regularly, because I don't think it's a good idea to decide the time now. After all, I always spent time doing what I wanted to do, so it would be too much of a hassle if I booked my schedule beforehand. I don't mind if you call me to show up at the base and if I'm interested, then I'll show up. But that doesn't mean you can call me every day, okay? ”) 

 

(“Y-yes. ”) 

 

(“Then, I have a job to do so I will return home. As for you ... You should discuss with Katsuragi about what kind of help you need from him. ”) 

 

"However Katsuragi then called out to Akira in a displeased tone."

 

(“Whoa whoa, you came here after all, so why don't you buy something before leaving?”) 

 

(“Sorry, I'm a bit tight money now, but I'll buy next time. ”) 

 

 

"After saying that, Akira left. Katsuragi then turned to Sheryl."

 

(“Well now, Akira did say that too, so let's finish the details, huh? Do you have time?”) 

 

(“Eh, ah, yes. I'm fine, I'll be in your care. ”) 

 

"Sheryl regained her composure as she politely bowed to Katsuragi."

 

"Katsuragi took her scan again trying to evaluate her before she laughed lightly and asked him."

 

 

(“Yah, Akira is gone now so I want to ask you this again. What's your relationship with that boy? ”) 

 

(“As he said earlier ..”) 

 

(“I saw . Let me repeat my question. What do you want your relationship to be? Are you aiming to be his lover or even his wife? ”) 

 

"Sheryl knew that it could cause trouble if she gave Katsuragi a bad answer. So instead, he answered back with a question."

 

(“... That ... He helped my gang, is there anything more than that?”) 

 

"Katsuragi was still smiling with her merchant expression."

 

(“There are many things besides that. You know, I plan to get along with Akira for a long time, which means that I may need to hang out with you as well. But it depends on what your relationship is with him, right? So I'll at least have to confirm whether you want to be in a closer relationship with him or will he leave you. So, what's that? Seeing how he behaved just now, do you think it's possible for you?”) 

 

"Sheryl knew very well that she was being judged there, so she laughed confidently and said."

 

(“Of course that's my plan. Not to mention I believe Akira likes me, you know? After all, he even did something like this for me, right? I believe that her behavior just now was to show Katsuragi-san not to take us lightly, even though we are just a little kid from the slum. Akira is also a Hunter. ”) 

 

"He knew that if he were to retreat now, then he would be looked down upon. Even though he knew that he was talking too much, he still tried his hardest to make a confident expression."

 

"But Katsuragi continued to stare at Sheryl while trying to look deeper at her words. He then sighed."

 

(“It sounds like you're trying to seduce her with your body just to get rejected. ”) 

 

"Sheryl froze. Seeing that, Katsuragi just smiled invincibly."

 

(“Ah, that face says ‘how can you know that?’, Yes? It is not uncommon for high-income Hunters to bring their girls into my shop. In time, I can see if those Hunters are really interested in the girls they bring or if they are thinking of leaving those girls in the near future. After all, it is one of the essential skills for a trader, you know. If the former, then it was a good opportunity to sell expensive equipment, after all, they wanted to show off in front of the girls they were interested in. To be honest, your situation seems to lean more towards the latter, you know?”) 

 

"Actually, it's a bet to pull the truth from Sheryl. Katsuragi actually had no evidence to say that far. But after seeing how Sheryl reacts, she at least knows that Sheryl did try to seduce Akira just to get rejected."

 

(“But still, I don't think it can help, you know? Sorry to say this, but someone like you just .. Ah, it's not like I'm mocking you here. It's more like I'm talking about standards, I think Akira's standards are higher. ”) 

 

(“...What do you mean?”) 

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

"Sheryl couldn't help but make a puzzled expression. Normally, Sheryl would be able to hold back, but now it just showed how shocked she was by Katsuragi's words. He was also very interested in knowing about Akira's standards. He thought that he might be able to derive some benefits from it in the future."

 

"Katsuragi smiled as if she thought her reaction was pleasant for her."

 

(“This is just my theory, but there are many beautiful Hunters out there. Ah, when I say Hunters, I mean like Hunters who actually earn money from working as Hunters and unlike those who are just Hunters in name only. Of course, everyone has a different basis on what kind of beauty would make them think a girl is beautiful. But at least there are similarities there for everyone. And I believe it will be their health. ”) 

 

(“Health ... Hah?”) 

 

(“Ya, skin complexities, shine on the hair, the amount of meat in a person's body. I think most people think that a healthy girl is a beautiful girl. So if you use this point of view, then many of the female Hunters are pretty girls. After all, an unhealthy girl will have problems with maneuvering around. To survive in the desert, a Hunter must keep his body in top shape. That is why they provide powerful medicine to heal wounds and recover their fatigue. Healing medicines always heal wounds on a cellular level. It will also heal the damaged skin. Not to mention that exploring the desert is hard work, so it is impossible for them to be fat. In addition, some drugs will directly convert excess fat into energy. So I think health and natural appearance are the basis of beauty. ”) 

 

"Sheryl listened carefully to what Katsuragi said. And at the same time, he also cursed at things that he could not do."

 

 

(“The cellular healing rate of medicines can also be considered as an anti-aging process. That's why some Hunters remain beautiful past their prime. But, you can also say that it is because of all the types of beauty products that they can buy from the money they make. So, if we have to compare you to those girls .. Well, uhh, you know .. The female hunters Akira knows are all pretty girls. ”) 

 

 

"Katsuragi then remembered about Elena and Sara, both of them were pretty girls. Not to mention they brought Akira to their home when Akira fainted. So he thought that the two girls should be on good terms with Akira. Katsuragi thought that it was not strange if Akira was used to seeing such beautiful girls, so his standards for beautiful girls would be higher."

 

"Sheryl's voice trembled slightly as she said."

 

(“So ... What do you want me to do? Does it mean to tell me all this? ”) 

 

"Seeing that there was a bit of frustration in Sheryl's behavior, Katsuragi simply gave her a meaningful smile."

 

(“What I'm going to tell you after this is for your sake in order for you to better understand this. I'll give you something nice, so wait a minute here. ”) 

 

"After saying that, Katsuragi returned to her trailer, Sheryl could hear her voice from outside the trailer."

 

(“Darris !! Do you know where the prototype weapon was stored?”) 

 

(“You put them back in while saying that it won't sell at all and you will return it, won't you?”) 

 

(“Ah, you are right !!”) 

 

"Not too long after that, Katsuragi returned to Sheryl with a large backpack and then she put the backpack in front of Sheryl."

 

(“Sorry to wait, I'll give this to you, it's a souvenir from me, take it home. ”) 

 

"The bag was filled with food that was nearing its expiration date, unsold weapons and many other things. All of those things are valuable to Sheryl. So Sheryl bowed in confusion."

 

(“T-thank you very much. ”) 

 

"From inside the bag, Katsuragi took out some stuff and showed it to Sheryl."

 

(“There is soap, makeup, and many other things in this bag. Although they were only trial products, there were also medicines produced for Hunter's use, so it should be better than those cheap medicines. Remember, you should at least be pretty enough to make Akira think that she is lucky when you try to seduce her. Let me tell you this upfront, it's just an investment. I'm not sure why Akira is helping you, but for now, you are the reason why he will come to me to sell his relics. So you have to work hard so that Akira won't leave you, and so that he keeps selling me relics. Youunderstand? ”) 

 

"Sheryl is still trying to smile even though she can't make a perfect smile."

 

(“Y-yes. ”) 

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

(“I look forward to us working together for long term. ”) 

 

"Katsuragi then laughed out loud with a hint of hope on her gaze."

 

 

"Before returning to his inn, Akira decides to visit Shizuka's shop to fill up the ammunition. The moment he entered the store, Shizuka immediately noticed him and waved at him. Akira found it strange that the person at the counter took such an initiative, but even so, he obediently walked over to the counter and continued his order as usual."

 

(“Shizuka-san, I came to buy more ammunition, this time I spent a lot of them. So I will buy more than usual – ”) 

 

"Shizuka stopped Akira's words and hugged her tightly."

 

"About bewildered when Shizuka hugged him. He could feel Shizuka's body temperature and there was a soft sensation of hitting her from the front. She is very embarrassed and confused as she tries to break Shizuka's embrace. But Shizuka kept her arms tight even after knowing that."

 

(“I heard everything from Elena and Sara. I know very well that being a Hunter is a dangerous job and I understand that you have to go beyond your own limits from time to time. That's why I can't say don't do something dangerous or don't push yourself too hard. So at least please let me say this, I'm glad you're okay. ”) 

 

"Shizuka tightened her embrace once more before letting go."

 

"About smiling while looking a little surprised, but his expression immediately turned to satisfaction as he bowed to Shizuka."

 

(“I'm sorry to worry you, but I'm fine now. ”) 

 

"Akira's answer was so well arranged that it wasn't something that would come out of someone unconscious for a few days. Shizuka smiled feeling relieved because it seemed like it was not just an outside look and Akira was completely fine."

 

(“Everything is fine as long as you are fine. Addition of ammo, right? I'll take him right away, just wait here. ”) 

 

"While Akira was waiting for Shizuka, Elena suddenly entered the store. She watched Akira as she smiled at him and walked to his side."

 

(“Akira, so you're awake, huh? I've never thought of meeting you here. Although I've told Sara to contact me as soon as you wake-up- ”) 

 

"Elena stopped her words in the middle of the sentence when she saw a notification appear in her information terminal. He then checked the notification and smiled bitterly."

 

(“It just came. That Sara, she must have forgotten about it. ”) 

 

"About then bow to Elena."

 

(“Elena-san, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble and thank you so much for taking care of me. And also, sorry for occupying the bed for a few days. ”) 

 

(“Don't worry about that. It's big enough for us to sleep together. But other than that, Sara used to unconsciously hug you like a pillow, so are you okay? That girl is an enlarged human being, you know. Even though he looked like that, he was actually very strong. He didn't break your bones, did he? ”) 

 

"Elena smiled seductively at Akira who could only return it with an awkward smile."

 

(“A-I'm fine. ”) 

 

('I'm sure it was just a joke.') 

 

 

"Sheryl dragged her feet to her base. He's within his limits in everything."

 

 

"But when Sheryl returns to her base, she must act as if everything is fine and she needs to direct her subordinates as if nothing bad happened. He should keep his calm and confident face in front of his gang members and in front of other gangs as well. At least he needed to defend it until there was no need for him to fake it. But he's at his limit now."

 

"As soon as he arrived in front of his headquarters, Darris who accompanied him casually put the heavy bag he was carrying on the ground."

 

(“I won't bring it inside, you have to do the rest yourself. ”) 

 

"The gift he received from Katsuragi was filled with weapons and other useful items, it was heavy enough that it was difficult for Sheryl to carry it herself. Moreover, it was meaningless if the gift was robbed on the way back. That's why Katsuragi made a smart move and sent Darris to accompany her."

 

 

"Sheryl politely lowered her head to Darris."

 

(“I understand . Thank you so much for bringing him here. ”) 

 

(“Well, it looks like you're having a hard time, so give it your best, okay?”) 

 

"Sheryl left a positive impression on Darris when she thought that she was a girl of good manners even though she grew up in a slum town. So Darris left Sheryl with those words before leaving the place."

 

"Sheryl was somehow able to carry that heavy bag inside the base. The moment he entered his base, all the children in his gang were already lined up there waiting for him. Although it was the right way to greet the boss, it was clear that Sheryl looked angry. He thought that he would not see one more face when he glared at the person he deemed unnecessary in his gang. It was Erio."

 

(“And here I thought that you are gone, but you are still here, yes?”) 

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

"Erio gasped in fear for trying to calm Sheryl down."

 

(“S-Sheryl, I'm really sorry. ”) 

 

(“Sorry? If you have the brains to recognize that you are guilty, then you should have gone from here. ”) 

 

(“T-He looks like a normal boy. Although he carried a weapon, he did not look like a powerful Hunter at all. That's why I think that he cheated you, you know ... ”) 

 

(“Normal boys, huh? Normal ... Right? ”) 

 

"The frozen Erio still doesn't seem to be able to give an excuse, while on the other hand, Sheryl has already reached her limit. Thus, Sheryl's having an explosion right now."

 

(“Normal child, yes !? So to you, a child who can defeat 3 armed Hunters is normal, huh? A kid who can do this is normal, huh ?! So that's normal inside your head, huh ?! If that's normal for you, then you can do it too, right? In that case, you keep doing it too ?! Go to the ruins and get some relics then ambushed on the way back and successfully fight with you !! You should be able to do that, right? So go and do it !! ”) 

 

"Sheryl who had just experienced an explosion tried to control her breathing. Erio was so frightened that he could not move at all and the other children could do nothing but stand frozen there."

 

"Sheryl then turned to the other children and shouted."

 

(“Get him out of here !! Soon!!”) 

 

(“T-please wait. ”) 

 

(“Get him out of here, now !! I'm your boss here and I told you to kick him out !! You accept that I'm the boss, don't you? If you do not accept me as your boss, then you are also out of this place !! ”) 

 

"The children around Erio then looked at each other before they grabbed Erio's shoulders and arms and dragged him out. Erio obediently let himself be dragged out of the base while bowing his head."

 

"Sheryl calms her breath. He understood that he had lost his composure just now, so to avoid making a mistake, he tried to at least regain his composure as he took a deep breath."

 

"Alicia, a girl close to Erio, then talks to Sheryl."

 

(“S-Sheryl ... about Erio ..”) 

 

"Sheryl then sighed for a very long time and expelled all the anger that was left in her heart. Thanks to that, he could at least clear most of the anger left in his heart and regain his composure to think clearly. But even so, he looked at Alicia with a stern look."

 

(“. We can't let Erio stay in this gang, you know at least that, right? At least until we have more people in that gang, Akira won't notice it if Erio mixes up the gang members or until Akira forgets his anger towards him. But until then, we can't let him into the gang. ”) 

 

"The other children were shocked after hearing Sheryl's words, then one of them asked Sheryl."

 

(“Increase members? In this situation?”) 

 

(“At least we should be able to provide benefits to Akira as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will leave us, we need to remember that he did not help us out of kindness. If he leaves us, it will be the end for us. ”) 

 

(“T-but how ...”) 

 

(“Thanks to Akira, we got a connection to an arms dealer named Katsuragi. We were somehow able to get help from that merchant. We had no other choice but to use that connection and try a lot of different things. ”) 

 

"Sheryl then opened the bag she was carrying. The children who saw food, weapons and other things inside the bag could not help but cry out in excitement."

 

(“For now, we can get a lot of things thanks to Katsuragi and Akira. So we have to make a plan before distribution- ”) 

 

"Sheryl caught some children trying to reach out to reach into the bag, she yelled out in a loud voice."

 

(“If you take something from him without my permission, then I will kill you. ”) 

 

"The children then stopped from grabbing the bag before slowly pulling their arms."

 

"Sheryl glanced at everyone there, thinking of how difficult the path in front of her was to develop a gang, she let out a long sigh."

 

 

"That day, as usual, Elena simply wrapped herself up in a towel after finishing her bath while operating the information terminal attached to her head. Seeing that, Sara sighed and said."

(Lecsyan: p. 455: elena's information terminal is in her head, not in her arms.)

 

(“Elena. Just because Akira has come home, are you going to relax at home like that again ?? ”) 

 

"When Akira was in their house, Elena knew that it would be bad if she stayed that way. Although Akira is just a younger boy and asleep, he is still a boy. That is why she always wears her clothes where Akira sleeps so it is okay if Akira wakes up at any time. But now that Akira's home, he's starting to get back to his old habits."

 

"Elena ignored the question, she even criticized Sara who was only wearing a T-shirt at ****** ********."

 

(“It's okay, isn't it? Besides, I don't want you to tell me while you look like that yourself. Is that what you were wearing when Akira woke up? ”) 

 

(“Iya.”) 

 

(“Sara, what are you thinking? You should at least be more careful. ”) 

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

(“It's okay, Akira's reaction is very funny. ”) 

 

(“I didn't mean it that way, geez ..”) 

 

"Seeing Elena who seemed to have given up on her, Sara just laughed lightly and said to Elena."

 

(“Well, it's okay, right? It's just a small service for someone we have to pay for our lives. ”) 

 

"Elena was shocked when she heard that as she immediately turned to Sara. Sara's face also turned serious."

 

(“Akil who saved us back then in the desert, you know?”) 

 

(“...I saw. ”) 

 

"Elena's reaction was much milder than Sara had expected, so Sara seemed a little surprised."

 

(“You don't seem surprised, huh?”) 

 

(“Somehow I wish you knew. Isn't that the same for you? But since it seemed like Akira wanted to keep it a secret, I decided not to ask him about it. I don't think that Akira will say it himself, so I'm sure you ask first, right? Is that okay?”) 

 

"Sara smiled bitterly as she looked a little apologetic."

 

(“Everything is fine. He even apologized for keeping it a secret. Even though I pressured him to get an answer. ”) 

 

(“Alright, then, wait, that's not good. You did say you regretted having pressured him, didn't you? ”) 

 

(“I'm sorry, you know?”) 

 

(“Everything is good then. Now that we know that he's the one who saved us, we owe him our lives, so make sure not to make it too much trouble, okay? ”) 

 

(“I know. ”) 

 

"After speaking this far, Sara then looked at Elena with a serious face."

 

(“So Elena, I have a request for you. I'm sure you have a lot of questions you'd like to ask him. But please don't ask her anything and don't tell anyone about her. Anyway, I did promise Akira about it. So please, I beg you. I know that you may not be completely sure, but please do not ask for anything and promise the same to me. ”) 

 

"Sara is desperate because she promised Akira that. That's why he decided to get his best friend's appointment now."

 

"Different to Sara who looked very serious there. Elena just nodded casually."

 

(“I understand . I gave you my promise. I will not ask for anything unnecessary and I will not tell anyone else. So you don't have to worry. ”) 

 

(“.... You have no problem with that?”) 

 

"Sara was surprised to see how Elena gave her promise so easily like that. Elena just smiled and said."

 

(“I told you this, right? I was expecting this, that's why I can at least guess why he hid it and what we didn't want to ask him. I'm sure you also asked Shizuka, right? So don't worry, I'll keep my lips shut about this. And as I said before, I don't want to cause too much trouble to someone we have to pay for in our lives. ”) 

 

"Sara was surprised and then smiled bitterly."

(“... You already know everything, huh? Am I easy to read? ”) 

 

(“Again, you suddenly asked me about people who can connect to the old domain. Sara, when you want to hide something, you have to be careful when asking questions, you know? Because the person you're asking will at least be thinking about why you're asking that question. ”) 

 

"Sara realized her mistake and felt a little sad, but then she decided to change her mood and smiled."

 

(“... As I thought, it's right to leave the negotiations to you. ”) 

 

(“Yap, leave it to me. Next time we meet Akira, I also need to thank you. ”) 

 

"After saying that, Elena smiled kindly and laughed."

 

(“Sara, now that we know the real identity of our savior, what do you think after realizing that he is not a young man from a rich family?”) 

 

"Sara looked rather irritated and embarrassed."

 

(“Please release me from that temptation. ”) 

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

"Although Sara was a bit confused about Elena's words, she remembered the shameful imagination she had about their savior. Inevitably, his face flushed red, which rarely happened to Sara."

 

"Looking at how her best friend looked a bit confused at first and finally coming to her own conclusion, Elena simply smiled comfortingly."
