Reawaken the World

About Shizuka Stores (Part 1)

"About going to Shizuka's shop to buy ammo. But when she ordered, Shizuka looked at her in surprise and asked with a puzzled look."

 

(“Akira. You buy a lot of ammunition right now. Are you planning to use this anytime soon?”) 

 

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

(“Rather than the plan, it's more like I've exhausted all my spare ammunition. That's why I want to keep a lot of ammo so I won't run out of ammo when in the middle of a battle again. ”) 

 

"His answer hinted that he had fought against a large swarm of monsters that could not be killed using normal ammunition. The monsters were so big that he used up all the ammunition reserves. Either that or he fought against a super strong monster and ended up using all of his ammo. In the worst case scenario, maybe even both."

 

"Shizuka wondered if Akira was doing something dangerous again. Although she asked him with a worried voice and gaze, his smile somehow put pressure as if warning Akira not to lie."

 

(“Is it okay if I ask what happened?”) 

 

(“Uhh .. When I received a request to help with the construction of the front headquarters in the ruins of Kuzusuhara, I met and fought with many Yarata scorpions ..”) 

 

"Akira explained everything to Shizuka without trying to hide anything. Since Akira explained it without making any suspicious behavior, Shizuka thought that there was nothing to worry about and patted her chest with relief."

 

"In reality, Akira was actually in such a dangerous situation that he even thought of abandoning the Hunters he had saved. But with that being said, he knew that he could easily escape if he just left the other Hunters and not to mention that the other Hunters were also saved in the end. So he thought it wasn't too dangerous and left out some details of the story. Thanks to that, Shizuka was unable to say that Akira had truly been enamored with death."

 

(“... Because of that, I can't use AAH rifle ammunition like I usually do, you know. That's why I thought that I should keep the piercing ammunition. ”) 

 

"Shizuka felt relieved and smiled gently at Akira. He then comes up with recommendations considering Akira's safety and the shop's income."

 

(“Stocking piercing ammo is a good idea. In fact, there is an alternative. In terms of what you have described, I suggest you to add modifications to your AAH rifle. If you add modifications to increase the firepower of the rifle, you should be able to use it against the Yarata scorpion. This will provide a considerable increase in firepower even when you use normal ammunition, but of course, there is a limit to how far you can increase its firepower using modifications. ”) 

 

(“Modification, yes? But like, isn't that a complicated procedure? ”) 

 

(“Even if it is called modification, you actually only need to replace part of the rifle. You should be able to do so if you know how to perform standard maintenance for AAH rifles. You've heard of that AAH gun enthusiast, right? They even usually make their own parts, you know? Some of them will even deploy their modified rifles to gain more AAH rifle enthusiasts. I also have some modified AAH rifles here. Changing your AAH rifle should be cheaper than storing piercing ammunition for a CWH anti-material rifle just because normal AAH rifle ammunition doesn't really work against some monsters. So what do you think?”) 

 

"It would roughly take Shizuka's recommendation if she had no problem with money, and in fact, this matter had been resolved from the reward of her last request. Unlike the scouting building work he took the other day, his rescue work yesterday gave him considerable credit. Due to the excess money, he immediately decided to take a recommendation from her."

 

(“I understand . In that case, I'll take your recommendation. ”) 

 

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

(“Alright, then.”) 

 

"When Akira smiled with a smile that only an independent Hunter could give, Shizuka felt it was rather attractive and smiled back."

 

"Shizuka put all kinds of AAH gun modification parts in front of Akira. Extension magazines to increase ammunition capacity, a port to connect information gathering devices with rifles, a rifle barrel to increase firepower. Although there were still other types of modified parts, Shizuka only had these parts in her shop at the time."

 

"About staring at these parts with wide eyes while listening to Shizuka's explanation."

 

(“There are many different modifications, yes. ”) 

 

(“There are still many types of modifications out there, you know. Some of them don't even look suitable for AAH rifles. Although it would be cheaper just by buying a new weapon, the AAH gun enthusiasts would forcefully attach those parts to their AAH rifles. I think those people are very excited. ”) 

 

(“So there are such parts as well, yes. Besides, about the barrel of this rifle to increase the firepower, I wonder how much increase it will be given when I use normal ammunition. ”) 

 

(“It will give a pretty big improvement, you know. It will also reduce kickback. Although, to be honest, I don't quite understand the reason behind it and the kind of technology it uses. I just know that it uses some sort of complex technique to produce such an effect, I guess it's a technique from old world technology. ”) 

 

(“Old world technology, yes ..?”) 

 

"About fully understand how irrational the technology of the old world is. It was obvious by looking at the monsters. Even for Akira who had very limited knowledge, he knew very well that it was impossible to reproduce that monster even by using all the knowledge of the current world. But old-world technology is capable of achieving such a feat."

 

"Although Alpha taught Akira about basic scientific knowledge, he forbade him from asking about monsters."

 

"Unreasonable technology from the old world can create things close to magic. If Akira wants to understand the knowledge behind it, he needs to spend his entire life studying. That's why Alpha told him not to think about it for now."

 

(“Technology from the old world, if all kinds of mysteries in this era can be solved with those 3 words, it takes one's whole life to understand them. I bet the researchers working under Corporate Corporate devote their entire lives to doing that, but I hear that even they still don't fully understand old-world technology. ”) 

 

"A barrage of weapons that could change the speed and mass of bullets, or magazines that allowed storing an impossible amount of bullets in such a small space. All of these things are possible because the old world technology and people in the current era still do not understand the working mechanism behind it."

 

[If it still bothers you that much, you can try being one of those researchers and research it yourself. So what do you think? Wanna try?]

 

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

"He would be lying if he said he wasn't interested. But Akira still has a lot of other things he has to learn and do. He just didn't have the time or money to indulge in studying old-world technology."

 

(“I'm a Hunter, so I won't dig too deep into those kinds of things. ”) 

 

"About a naughty smile when saying that."

 

"After that, Akira followed Shizuka's recommendations and bought some modified parts plus an aiming device that he could connect to his information gathering device. And with that, half of the money he got yesterday is gone."

 

"Hunters have 2 options, using that money to update equipment or to improve their quality of life. Focusing more on the former will help you earn more money. But ignoring the latter would damage their health and affect their performance as Hunters. It was important to be able to maintain a balance between the two, after all, all Hunters who could not do this ended up dying."

 

"But for Akira who has spent her entire life up until now in the slum alley, her current lifestyle is actually luxurious for her. Instead of damaging his own health, it was actually an improvement from his previous life condition. So, even if he spent money on equipment, it wouldn't upset his balance."

 

"Suddenly, Akira could hear Elena's voice from inside the store."

 

(“Shizuka !! Come here for a second! ”) 

 

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

 

"Shizuka just smiled at Akira before she went to the back room."

 

"About waiting for Shizuka while making a confused look. Not too long after, she could hear Elena's panicked voice and Shizuka's voice that sounded like she was teasing Elena."

 

(“.... Uh ?! Akira is here? !! ”) 

 

(“Ya. And remember that you promised him to show it when it arrived, didn't you? So let's go.”) 

 

(“I never said yes to it, you went and made that promise without my permission, right? !!”) 

 

(“But you didn't say no either, did you? Let's show him you won't lose anything. ”) 

 

(“Whoa-stop pushing me ... ?!”) 

 

"Elena appeared from behind the back room with Shizuka pushing her from behind. Akira freezes when he sees Elena, who is clad in a thin, bodysuit-shaped augmented suit."

 

"His "augmented suit is made of shiny material. It was so snug on his body that it actually showed his body line. It was obvious that the extra clothes were made of a very thin material. There were thin lines that were only a few centimeters wide on the surface of his enlarged suit. It flowed from his shoulders to his elbows and extended to the tips of his fingers, partially flowing from his neck to his chest and down to his lower abdomen, and also from his hips to his knees, reaching his ankles."

 

"Seeing Elena who was wrapped in a tight, thin augmented suit that showed off her body lines suggestively, she said, Akira could not help but recall the nude image of Elena that Alpha reconstructed using the data left inside her information gathering device. Elena's image from the past was so amazing that it was enough to make Akira lose her composure."

 

"When Elena's eyes met Akira's, she could see him confused and blushing. Therefore, his face also started to turn red."

 

"Shizuka who was the only person who was not confused, smiled seductively as she explained about Elena's augmented clothes."

 

(“The augmented jas Elena uses is a B3CSD augmented suit. Unlike Akira's augmented suits, these augmented suits are not equipped with exoskeleton support. It may be all baggy before it is turned on, but once you turn it on, it will fit the body of its user. Therefore, it will feel like it is not even there and it will not interfere with the user's movement. It has enough air permeability that the user can even feel a gentle breeze as if blowing directly into the user's skin. And of course, it also adds to the physical strength of its users as well. ”) 

 

"As Shizuka said, Elena felt she was completely naked. Although she did not feel cold or hot due to the temperature control function in the additional clothes, she could feel as if air was blowing directly into her skin. It feels like he's walking naked if he doesn't confirm that he's actually wearing an augmented suit."

 

"His enlarged jas was so loose before, but it really surprised him for fitting in his body when he turned it on. Elena knew that her augmented clothes would show her body lines. So he still couldn't believe that he had come to meet Akira with his plus suit."

 

"Elena glared at Shizuka while still blushing."

 

(“... Shizuka, this thing is too much, you know. ”) 

 

"Although a Hunter with strong physical abilities glared at her, Shizuka could not feel the pressure from her gaze at all because Elena was confused and still blushing. Thus Shizuka was able to maintain her smile as she replied."

 

(“I want you to keep using the armor if that's possible. I chose this augmented suit because it would be difficult to operate your information-gathering device if it had loose gloves, right? I Don't want your Augmented settings to be a drag when you use your Information-Gathering device. That's why I chose an augmented clothing that you can use comfortably and can use in conjunction with your Information-Gathering device. I'm also considering your request for an Augmented Suit that increases your physical strength and that can be finely adjusted by yourself. You don't like it?”) 

 

"Elena could not argue, her plus suit met all the requirements that she initially thought were somewhat impossible. So he has no complaints about that."

 

(“... To be honest, I think it's impossible to get an augmented suit with all the functions with my budget, you know?”) 

 

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

"Elena tried to come up with any argument she could find, but Shizuka calmly and quickly replied."

 

(“For the sake of her precious best friend, Sara also contributes to the budget, you know. You should thank him correctly later ..”) 

 

(“So that's why, yes?”) 

 

"It's true Elena felt so happy that Sara helped her pay for her plus coat. But looking at it from another point of view, it meant that she wouldn't have been able to get this augmented outfit had Sara not helped her pay for it. Elena understood this as she smiled bitterly."

 

"Shizuka who was smiling at Elena suddenly turned to Akira and asked him."

 

(“By the way, what do you think after seeing Elena's augmented clothing?”) 

 

"Akira and Elena looked at each other. Akira's face flushed red, he then replied back while trying to avoid looking at Elena's body."

 

(“. ”) 

 

"About trying her best not to get too confused, but it was a bit impossible for her."

 

"Elena soon realized that she could only wear the usual armor on top of her plus suit. She was so confused until now that she didn't notice it at all."

 

"Elena smiled awkwardly."

 

(“... K-you're right! Erm Y-yah, I'll be right back !! ”) 

 

"Elena went into the back room in a panic. Akira just looked at it without saying anything while Shizuka giggled mischievously."

 

"About taking a deep breath and calming down. He thought that he would not be able to talk normally with Elena once she returned if she was not calm enough. So in order to change the mood, she asked Shizuka a light question."

 

(“... Shizuka-san. Do all advanced augmented clothing look like that?”) 

 

(“No. Not everything looks like that, but that type is also not uncommon. After all, there is a demand for this type of augmented suit. ”)
