Reawaken the World

About Shizuka Stores (Part 2)

(About surprised when he heard the answer. He wondered if some girls really wanted to buy such an augmented suit, or if it was just because the people who bought it didn't really care about ‹feature› that much.) 

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

"Shizuka saw Akira's expression. Since he was unable to give an answer, he noted that he misunderstood something, so he explained to him."

 

(“Not that they'll leave with just a plus coat, you know. It was originally designed as a type of Augmented Suit that is intended to help you when you use heavy augmented Suits or other types of equipment that you cannot use without any physical enhancement. It is designed to reduce the pressure on your body when you use heavy augmented clothing or to add functions that you would not normally find on heavy augmented suits. Later expanded from there, some of them were used along with armor, some of them could be used under normal clothing, and some of them were redesigned for use in everyday life. I'm actually using one too, you know, though, it's a cheaper one compared to Elena. ”) 

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

(“Shizuka-san too?”) 

 

(“Ya. Without it, I wouldn't be able to carry heavy weapons and ammunition. ”) 

 

"About seeing Shizuka carrying heavy weapons and ammunition as if it was nothing, but she had never really noticed it before. After hearing his explanation, he quickly realized it."

 

(“Now after you mention it, that must be the problem, yes. I didn't realize it even though I've seen you carrying heavy stuff around. ”) 

 

(“Most people won't notice it. Some people purposely used simple clothes while hiding the enlarged suit underneath to make their opponents off guard. This is an important skill for Hunter to be able to tell the difference, so you have to be careful, Akira. ”) 

 

(“I understand.”) 

 

"About being able to sense that he was completely lacking in knowledge and skill as a Hunter."

 

"Elena then returned after wearing her usual armor on top of her plus suit. When she and Akira looked at each other, she just smiled trying to cover up what happened not too long ago."

 

"About once again throwing out a new subject to change the mood."

 

(“Elena-san, thank you very much for the information gathering tool from yesterday. It's very useful. ”) 

 

"Elena understood Akira's intentions and immediately replied."

 

(“I am happy to hear it . As I thought, general type information gathering tools are more suitable for beginners. Not to mention I hear the power of general-type information-gathering devices is increasing these days. I guess the trend for information gathering devices is really leaning in that direction right now ..”) 

 

"Akira and Elena continued their conversation awkwardly, trying to forget what just happened. Shizuka just silently watched them while enjoying their reaction."

 

" – * – * – * – "

 

"About borrowing a car from a rental store and crossing the desert."

 

(“Alpha. How long before we get here? ”) 

 

With this speed, we should get there in about 30 minutes.]

 

(“So ... So, Alpha, why are you wearing that uniform?”) 

 

"Alpha who was sitting in the driver's assistant seat was wearing a maid uniform. It looked very impractical since it only focused on aesthetics."

 

"It was made of a shiny fancy fabric with a snow-white apron on it and no skin exposure under the neck. The skirt stretched all the way to his ankle, thus completely hiding his long legs. It had long arms covering its arms and its hands were wrapped in snow-white gloves. Alpha looks graceful and smooth."

 

"She smiled and bewitched."

 

[Geez, do you want me to wear something else? If you have a request, I'll change to the dress you want, you know?]

 

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

(“Well, doesn't mean I have any requests. It's just I feel like you're always wearing a dress that doesn't fit the desert, you know. So I just want to know why you always do that. ”) 

 

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

[The reason behind my shirt, huh? You can say that I have a lot of reasons behind that, but you can also say that I only choose dresses at random.]

 

(“Many reasons, yes ..?”) 

 

"I guess remember one day when Alpha wore a provocative swimsuit in the middle of a request. Although it was better compared to when she was naked whenever she swam along with him. Unlike in the bathroom where he was expected to be naked, wearing a swimsuit in the middle of the desert under normal conditions was completely abnormal. Thus he could not help but be distracted by it."

 

('. Well, I guess it's still better than a swimsuit, yeah.') 

 

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

"Alpha might turn into something worse if Akira pushes too much. That's why he decided not to pursue the subject."

 

 

(“Maybe a bit late asking this, but, is this vehicle really okay? Desert vehicles for Hunters usually have guns attached to them, but these vehicles don't have guns, you know? Well, it's not like I want to rent a vehicle with a big cannon, it's just that we can get a better vehicle if I spend a little more money on the car, right? ”) 

 

"Akira's borrowed vehicle is the cheapest vehicle for Hunters available at the rental store. So there's a lot of other vehicles that are better at that rental store if he's willing to spend more money on that."

 

[This one is pretty good. Thanks to the previous demand, you are a Rank 20 Hunter now, and this vehicle has the best price vs. performance ratio you can get for now. While it is true that this vehicle does not have any weapons attached, it will be fine as long as you can take out the monsters you encounter. It will also serve as a test for your newly modified AAH rifle after receiving Shizuka's advice. Not to mention, I cannot control the weapons attached to the vehicle as they are controlled by the control devices on the vehicle. Besides, it's not like I can hijack a rental car control unit, is it?]

 

(“Ohh, I understand now. ”) 

 

[The control device also serves as the information gathering device used by the Hunter Office to decide your reward from the monsters you kill, so. So if you screw it up, they might cut your gift. But even so, do you still want me to do it after knowing that?]

 

"Alpha smiled seductively, while in contrast to that, Akira's face paled."

 

(“Please do not touch the control device. ”) 

 

[Received.]

 

"About looking annoyed because it looks like Alpha is enjoying himself by bullying him."

 

 

[I've explained to you all the risks that might arise from doing that, so if you told me to do it even after knowing that, I would do it, you know? Like when you saved Elena and Sara, I've told you to stop but you still decided to help them and I'm still giving support to you when you do that, remember? And also when a horde of huge monsters came out of Kuzusuhara's destruction, I said don't go but you said that you will leave even if you have to go alone on foot, but even so I did not use the augmented clothes to forcefully stop you and I even gave my support as well, right? I'm always trying to appreciate your wishes, you know? Therefore, Akira, you should think carefully before deciding on something, okay?]

 

(“Aaah, you're right. ”) 

 

"When Alpha gave a pressing smile to Akira, she thought that she should not ask while making a firm face."

 

"They kept talking while heading towards their destination. Akira who was troubled by the content of his request this time suddenly asked Alpha."

 

(“By the way, the request I took this time was an ordinary monster hunting request. But it seems like I can still get a reward if I only send out the scanning information I gathered around the destination area even if I don't kill monsters, right? But this is a monster hunting request, so why is that?”) 

 

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

[It will be used as data to monitor the distribution of monsters in the area. I think they will send an eradication team if they find an area with a lot of monster signals. So it was basically a reconnaissance request, but since they did not know the exact location to send the Hunters, they also combined it with the extermination request for convenience. Basically, you won't get any money if you just waste time wandering around the city, but you can earn money if you're pacing some distance from the city, you know.]

 

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

"About thinking it was something interesting, so he kept asking about the matter."

 

 

(“Don't that mean that the Hunters can only run around in the desert in high-speed vehicles without fighting any monsters and still earn money?”) 

 

[Some Hunters did too.]

 

"About half-jokingly when he asked that question because he thought no Hunter would do such a thing. So he was surprised when Alpha gave that unexpected answer."

 

(“. ”) 

 

[They were called runners. They use specially designed vehicles to increase speed and equip them with very powerful scanning devices as they just roam around the desert. But of course, they would not be able to do that if they did not have the ability to escape from monsters. Otherwise, they might gather a large number of monsters chasing them while trying to escape from them, you know. Because they knew that the defense of the city would take them out along with the monsters that were chasing them if they brought the monsters to the city, they had no other choice but to desperately try to escape from the monsters that were chasing them.]

 

(“So there are Hunters who make money doing things like that, huh? I think Hunters only earn money by hunting monsters or relics. ”) 

 

[You are not 100% wrong, hunting relics and hunting monsters are the main source of income for Hunters. I'm just saying that it's not the only source of income for Hunters. But, I don't think it has anything to do with you, Akira. What you need is basically polishing the most fundamental skills for a Hunter, the skills to explore the ruins.]

 

"When Alpha smiles at Akira who shows her hope to him, she just came back with another smile."

 

(“I know . Please be patient until I have enough skill to explore the destruction you requested of me. ”) 

 

[Then let's see how good you are now so I can plan your next training schedule.]

 

"Alpha smiled and pointed her finger forward. There's a monster running towards the vehicle in front of them."

 

"About stopping the car, get down from there, and prepare his AAH rifle that already has the modifications he bought from the Shizuka store installed there. When he took his goal through the scope, it worked together with the information-gathering device to calculate the distance to the monster and to show the scan results of the surrounding area."

 

"Right now, Akira is not receiving support from Alpha. He wanted to test his own skills when he carefully took his aim and pulled the trigger."

 

"The bullet that flew out from the muzzle of the rifle did not even scratch the monster. It flew past not too far to the right of the monster."

 

[Almost . It was 2 meters to the right of the monster.]

 

 

"Alpha improved Akira's vision so he could see the trajectory the bullet took. He confirmed the trajectory and immediately took another goal."

 

"He adjusted his goal and aimed carefully. He then used an augmented suit to hold his shot so it wouldn't sway before pulling the trigger again. This time, the bullet passed the left side of the monster."

 

[You missed 1 meter to the left this time. A little more and you'll hit it.]

 

"As the monster continued to run towards him, Akira slowly took a deep breath to calm himself down and aimed at the monster again. He knew full well that he would die if he panicked, and being nervous would only put him in an even worse situation."

 

 

"He calmed himself down and aimed carefully before pulling the trigger again. This time, the bullet hit the monster. But it did not hit the weak spot of the monster nor was it able to deal with the severe injuries. It was only enough to shock the monster as it continued to charge towards him."

 

"About trying to shoot the monster continuously. Although all the bullets he shot hit the monster, he could not stop it. The monster was already within a dangerous distance of him."

 

"About lightly sighed as she changed her stance from shooting to just a standard shoot. He changed the gun mode from semi-automatic to fully automatic. He sacrificed precision for the damage as he fired countless bullets with enhanced firepower thanks to the modifications he put on his rifle. No longer important to eyeing the monster's weak spot, Akira now simply showered the monster with bullets and slammed it; without giving it a chance to escape."

 

"I think back. With the support of Alpha, this fight will end with the first shot. He cursed his own weakness and lack of skill."

 

(“As I thought, most of my shots missed. What should I do to be able to shoot accurately as if you were helping me?”) 

 

[My highly accurate goals are based on complex track calculations with my superior processing capabilities. That's why even if I teach you how I do it, it won't help you much. So try to imagine the TPLine I usually show you before you shoot. I'll train you hard until you can make an accurate assessment of the trajectory of the bullet. But other than that, you're really getting better, I can guarantee you that much. So be patient and let's keep doing our best.]

 

 

"Looking at how Alpha smiled as she said that, Akira decided to believe her. After all, it was not like he could do anything even if he doubted what he had just said."

 

(“I know . Well, if it were that easy, I guess people wouldn't have this kind of trouble, huh. ”) 

 

[Yes, that's right. So let's patiently brush up on your skills.]

 

"About changing his gears, returning to his vehicle and going to his destination, leaving the corpse of a dead monster behind."

 

“Thank you” to read to the end & ask for your support. ️👜 🌹(👒)
