Reawaken the World

Request For Akira (Part 1)

"About crossing the desert in his car and finally arriving at his destination. After he looked around, he looked unsure."

 

(“... Alpha, is this really the place?”) 

 

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

[This should be the place according to the data we got from Higaraka Residence Ruin.]

 

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

"There is a strange silence between Akira and Alpha."

 

(“To find the undiscovered ruins, we tried to find the Lion Steel Corporation branch office or any facility with the terminal. If it is located in an area that is not widely known to the public, there is a high probability that there are undiscovered ruins there. This place is one of those areas, am I right, Alpha? ”) 

 

(“Betul once.”) 

 

"There is an endless desert lying in front of Akira. An abandoned building will slowly become weathered before it collapses. Wind and rain would then shave the ruins into fine particles. As for the corpses of humans and monsters, they had finally returned to being one with the earth. Then, new life will bloom out of where they are. However, only small traces of civilization remain in this place, too barren to be called ruins."

 

(“. But that's just to be expected. If finding undiscovered ruins was easy, the other Hunters would have already found dozens of them. ”) 

 

"About trying to cling to her faint hope."

 

(“Is it possible for you to get more precise data? Even if you tell me that there are around here, this place is very spacious. We may be able to find something if you can find a more precise location. ”) 

 

[Wait ... Look there ..]

 

"When Alpha pointed her finger at the location she extracted from the data set, Akira quickly turned towards it. With his vision enhanced by his support, he could see arrows pointing to specific locations. But unfortunately, it pointed to empty space."

 

"About tilting his head when he saw where the arrow was pointing."

 

(“Did you tell me that there was a building with some kind of optical camouflage there …. ? ”) 

 

[No... Okay then !! This one's broke! Let's go to the next one!]

 

"Alpha immediately replied in a manner as if she was trying to ignore him. Akira felt it was a bit funny when he smiled bitterly."

 

"It wasn't Akira who blamed Alpha. Even the old world cities that spanned over an extremely vast area could not withstand the power of time and had turned into barren deserts. The so-called ruins are basically just a part of those cities that, for some reason, were able to survive the withered time and are maintained until now. That's an exception but not a rule."

 

"Akira and Alpha just left the place and headed to the next one. They then checked all the places they could extract from their data, but they did not find anything interesting."

 

"About could not help but sigh as he continued to find arrows pointing to the empty space. Frustration kept piling up every time he headed to a different place. His motivation was slowly shaved and his initial hope shattered."

 

"Looking at the desperate Akira, Alpha tries to cheer him up in a bright voice."

 

[It all sucks, yeah. What do you want to do now? Want to stop looking for undiscovered ruins and re-explore the ruins that have been found? That data is also useful even in ruins already explored, perhaps helping to navigate through confusing areas or dangerous places. With that data, we can even find undiscovered hidden places filled with untouched expensive relics, you know.]

 

"About hesitation before replying."

 

(“... I think I'll keep looking for these undiscovered ruins for some more time. Since we got that data, I wanted to make the most of it as possible. ”) 

 

[Good . I hope we get the jackpot in the next place.]

 

(“You can say it again . Although it would really suck if it was flooded with monsters. ”) 

 

[Well, no one knows the number and types of monsters that roam the undiscovered ruins. They were referred to as undiscovered ruins because the Hunters had yet to find them, so there was no information about the monsters roaming there. If there is a monster that you cannot handle, then you have no other choice but to give up. So I hope there will only be monsters that you can handle easily.]

 

(“About that, can't I rely on your support to avoid fighting them?”) 

 

[Of course I'll help you. But there is no guarantee that you will be completely safe. I can only give you my best support in the destruction of Kuzusuhara, I cannot give you the same level of support in another ruin. I told you about that too, remember?]

 

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

"Akira's face turned grim."

 

(“Ahh, you are right. I remember now. ”) 

 

[To be more precise, my detection capabilities will fall beyond the destruction of Kuzusuhara and there are limits to how much information-gathering devices can add to my detection capabilities. Those monsters might even be able to find you before you find them. You can't explore the other ruins as easily as exploring the ruins of Kuzusuhara.]

 

(“I understand, I'll be careful. ”) 

 

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

"Alpha support is the reason why a child from a slum like Akira can survive in the rubble. Akira understands well, that's why he's tense, knowing that Alpha's support will fall beyond Kuzusuhara's destruction."

 

"Alpha then continues."

 

[And also, even if you find undiscovered ruins, it's not like you can bring a rented vehicle to explore those ruins. In any case, it is possible that other Hunters could know the location of the newly discovered ruins from the vehicle route history. And it is not strange for them to sniff out the existence of undiscovered ruins by checking the vehicle records if you stop the vehicle in one place for a long time and connect it to the sale of a large relic, a, and the borrower is too long.]

 

(“So my only option is to go there in my own vehicle, yes. But borrowing a vehicle is the best I can do for now.”) 

 

[There is also the problem of your parking space once you buy it. You still live in the inn. So, you should rent a house with a parking lot first before buying a vehicle, and if you have extra money, it would be a good idea to install an information gathering device as well. With that, you won't be likely to be stalked by other Hunters and you can also avoid monsters.]

 

(“And when exactly will I have enough money for all that? Working as a Hunter really takes a lot of money, huh. But in the end, it will still be at stake whether all the money I spent on the equipment is worth it.”) 

 

"Reminded by how hard it is to work as a Hunter, Akira sighed. Alpha then smiles at him trying to cheer him up."

 

[That's why you have to make sure you have strong preparation so that it won't be a gamble. Of course, I am talking about your equipment and skills. Besides, you also get my support, so it doesn't matter. It's been like that until now, hasn't it?]

 

"About looking back into his memory and noticing that it was indeed true, so that he could finally forget about it and smile lightly."

 

 

[Send it to me.]

 

"Alpha smiled confidently at Akira."

 

"About been gambling since the day he met Alpha. As a Hunter where he had to bet using more of his own life, he had won all of his bets."

 

"But there is no guarantee that it will continue from here onward."

 

"As Akira and Alpha continued to wander the desert in search of undiscovered ruins, they also continued to find empty space."

 

"About thinking that he should immediately return to the city, so he decided that the next place would be his last stop before returning to the city. The last place he checked was a vast wasteland, but there was a bunch of buried debris in a certain area not too far away from there."

 

"As Akira thought, it was another challenge. He asked Alpha to reconfirm the location of the data like he always did."

 

(“Alpha, do that again, please. ”) 

 

[That's right there. ]

 

"Just like always, Alpha uses the data as a reference and points towards the location. Akira could then see the pointer arrow with his enhanced vision."

 

"About being surprised when he saw the arrow, it pointed underground."

 

(“...Underground?”) 

 

[Sounds like that's the problem.]

 

"About observing his surroundings once again, but he found nothing resembling an entrance to the underground."

 

(“Is there a gate mentioned in that data?”) 

 

[I can only extract the location. I think the location data will be enough because you can decide the route through simple research. It may have completely collapsed and buried underground, but if that did not happen, then you will find new destruction.]

 

(“But even so, I can't get in without the entrance. ”) 

 

[So what do you want to do? Looking for a way in?]

 

(“. I'm here with a rented vehicle. So, even if there really were undiscovered ruins here, I could not stay in one place for a long time looking for the entrance, the records left in the vehicle would be suspicious. So yes, I have to get my own vehicle before looking for the entrance here. ”) 

 

[That's true . We have to wait until then. Let's go home today.]

 

"Although he was unable to find any undiscovered ruins, he was able to find clues about those ruins. Akira was at least satisfied with it when he decided to return to the city."

 

" – * – * – * – "

 

"About soaking in the bathtub in his inn. He looked very relaxed as he let the warm water melt away all his fatigue."

 

"As usual, Alpha also swims in the same tub as him. The only thing that hid her beautiful body was the hazy steam and ripples on the surface of the water. But even so, her body was truly charming."

 

"I don't seem to be bothered with that at all. Although there was an unreal beauty in the same bathroom as her, as usual, she just wasted that fancy scene."

 

"A notification message reached Akira's information terminal which he left in his room. But since it was connected to Alpha, he also received the information of that message."

 

[Akira, there is a request for you from the Hunter Office.]

 

(“Request?”) 

 

[Yep, you've become a Hunter by now because the Hunter Office will even send a request addressed specifically to you, yes, usually, you should be happy, but the content of the request is rather worrisome.].

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

"About quickly understanding that something bad happened. He quickly tensed up as all of his consciousness that melted into the warm water jolted back into his body."

 

(“So, what do I need to do?”) 

 

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

[Simply put, they're thinking of taking all the Yarata Scorpion nests in the ruins of Kuzusuhara and they want you to help them.]

 

(“Good, let's refuse. ”) 

 

"I immediately refused it. Normally, any Hunter would welcome a specially designated request from the Hunter Office. But when he recalled the hard battles he had fought in that abandoned building and how he had to fight a swarm of Yarata scorpions while trying to escape the area, he did not hesitate when he decided to refuse this request."

 

"But Alpha then lightly shook his head."

 

[It's worrying because you can't turn down the request, you know. The applicant is the Long-Term Strategic Division of Kugamayama city. It would be easy if it was from the city guards because their job was to maintain security around the city. But this one from the Long-Term Strategic Division, if you reject it for no good reason, they might give you a bad sign thinking that you have no motivation in helping the growth of the city. It'll be really troublesome if they see you in a bad light during your stay in this city, you know. Yes, in the worst case scenario, you could have moved to another city, but I don't think it's worth all that trouble just by refusing this request.]

 

"About groaning, even he didn't want to get the bad spotlight on the city."

 

(“... Is there a way to politely decline this request? Maybe I can apply for additional terms if they want me to accept this request, but what do I have to put in so that they will revoke the designated request? ”) 

 

[Well, that is indeed a difficult question, a condition that is not impossible but enough to make them revoke this request, yes.]

 

"After Akira had a long consultation with Alpha about what conditions he should request from the applicant. He understood that simply asking for a large reward would not work, even if it could let him avoid the designated request, it was no mistake that it would give him a sense of hostility from the city. So, they decided to ask for a big reward for the next request as their last option."

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