"In the end, they came up with 3 conditions. Due to his lack of skill, he would use a lot of special stab ammunition for his CWH anti-material rifle, so they would pay for the ammunition up front. And although he will work as part of a team, he will have to make his own decisions and move himself apart from the rest of the team over time. It also included the time when he decided to return home. The reward will be paid based on the number of monsters killed. And lastly, the reward will not be deducted from passive actions such as going home first."
"He had a hard time fighting the Yarata scorpion yesterday due to his lack of skill. As such, he would not accept the request unless he was entitled to this much exemption. This was what he added to his reply letter before sending it."
(“I wrote a lot there, but I wonder if I've asked too many questions. ”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
"About being able to take back her reply letter since she had already sent it, so it was a bit worried."
"Alpha smiled at him to calm him down."
[You know how else. If it's too easy, then they'll just accept your condition. Hopefully, they retract their request without becoming too angry.]
"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."
"About letting the warm water take over her body as she hoped that this matter would be settled peacefully."
" – * – * – * – "
"The next morning, Akira was shocked when he read the message that reached his information terminal."
(“... You must be kidding ..”)
"All the conditions he put out for the Yarata Scorpion nest cleaning request are accepted."
"About visiting Shizuka's shop right when it had just opened, she looked grim as she asked Shizuka."
(“Shizuka-san, how much CWH anti-material rifle ammunition can you sell me if I ask for everything you have?”)
"Shizuka tilted her head when Akira asked her that question."
(“How much, huh? To be more precise, how much do you actually need?”)
(“As much as I can bring. Since I had an extra suit, I thought about filling my backpack with as many bullets as possible. Then I want to buy more as ammunition reserve as well. ”)
"Shizuka felt something bad was going on, so she anxiously asked him."
(“Why do you suddenly need a lot of CWH anti-material ammunition? What exactly are you planning to fight? ”)
(“Yarata Scorpions. Things happen, you know ..”)
"About then explain everything to Shizuka. After which, he frowned and said."
(“... Yarata scorpion nest, yes. It is true that their outer skeletons are extremely hard, so it is understandable that you would use expensive ammunition to ensure that they are completely dead. With that in mind and considering the strength of the horde that attacked you the other day, it must have been a pretty big nest. ”)
(“And I will fight against those monsters, yes ... Maybe I should have given them a crazy request ..”)
"Shizuka felt pain in her heart when she saw how sad Akira was. But she prioritized herself as a shopkeeper when she said to him with a serious face."
(“Good . I'll help you as much as I can with ammunition. But there is one thing I want to make sure first, about the ammunition cost that the applicant will pay, how exactly will they pay? Ordering a large amount of CWH anti-material rifle special ammunition costs a lot of money, so it will be troublesome if you do not pay me up front. After all, business is business. ”)
"Personally, Shizuka wanted to sell ammunition even if Akira could only pay for it at a later date. But if he did that and the other Hunters heard about it, it would be very problematic for him. As the manager of his shop, he wanted to avoid that situation at all costs."
"But Akira replied quickly."
(“Don't worry about that. I heard that the applicant will pay the fee when you deduct the ammunition fee from my bank account. So please use this unique request code when you charge me for ammunition. ”)
"After Akira finishes his payment, all the money he spent will be considered a loan to the Hunter Office if he runs away from the request. But that debt collection would be done in a quick and hard way, to put it simply, only a bad ending would wait for him if he did that."
"I think I decided it myself. Since he already knew that, Shizuka decided to do her best as a businessman dealing with Hunter to ensure that Akira would come back alive. She then gently smiled at him to comfort him."
(“Good . I'll bring them to you soon, so wait a minute here, okay. And also, you will also be carrying your AAH assault rifle, right? ”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
(“Ya. I did modify it and I am sure I will meet other types of monsters as well. ”)
(“Then, you have to replace normal AAH rifle ammunition into sharp ammunition. I'll bring you the strongest piercing ammunition that can be used for AAH rifles. It's okay if I put it on the same payment account, right?”)
(“Ya please.”)
(“The firing rate is quite high, so is the price. I usually do not recommend using it as it will lower the durability of the gun. But that doesn't mean you can worry about it this time, does it? So, when are you going to need it? ”)
(“I've received a delivery order, so I'll leave as soon as I get the ammunition. ”)
(“... I see, I'll bring them here soon. ”)
"Shizuka went to the warehouse to look for ammunition after she said that."
"About completing his preparations, he bought as much CWH special ammunition and AAH ammunition as he could carry from Shizuka's shop, made sure his rifle was in top condition, and filled his backpack with as much stock as possible. Then with the help of Alpha support, he adjusted his enlarged suit so that he could walk normally with all his heavy load."
"Shizuka stood in front of Akira and gave him a warning."
(“I don't think I need to keep telling you this, but don't do anything reckless, okay?”)
(“Of course.”)
(Shizuka gently but tightly hugged Akira. Due to their different ‹body›, Akira's face is buried inside Shizuka. But instead of being surprised, the warmth and the sound of Shizuka's heartbeat made her calm.)
"Ts: This code→ (‹...... ›) sign to indicate message bubble or author explanation."
"Shizuka tightened her embrace, but it seemed like she couldn't stop him now. He looked very worried as he softly said to Akira."
(“.... Make sure to come back alive, okay?”)
(“...Good.”)
"Sounds a little happy when I say that."
" – * – * – * – "
"About listening to an explanation of his new request from the staff inside the temporary headquarters in the ruins of Kuzusuhara."
(“Your request is to take over the Yarata scorpion's nest. Details about the request have been sent to you, I'll assume that you've all read it, so I'll skip that section. Just read the instructions in the terminal we loaned and go where you are headed. After that, listen to the commander in the field. ”)
(“What about the road there? Is this safe? It would be troublesome if I met a horde of Yarata Scorpion, so I don't want to go alone. I put that into my request, didn't I? ”)
(“Good.”)
"About stepping out of the base with the terminal that the staff gave him. Alpha suddenly gave him an order."
[About, connect that terminal with your information terminal, I'll modify it so I can work with it.]
"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."
(“It's just a loan terminal, you know? Are you sure?”)
"It's okay if Alpha wants to hijack or even falsify the data inside its information terminal. But he was hesitant to allow him to play around with the loan terminal. So he couldn't help but ask her with a puzzled look as he told her to connect his information terminal to the borrowed terminal."
"Alpha smiled to reassure him."
[It's okay. It's easier to use the information terminal myself, so of course, I prefer to use it. It's just that it can be connected to other information terminals for Hunters, so I just wanted to take advantage of that feature as well.]
(“I understand, I think it's okay then.”)
"About being convinced by it and connecting its information terminal with its lending terminal. With this, Alpha can access the information inside the borrowed terminal."
"About arriving at his destination, he stood up and looked at a tall, half-destroyed building in front of him. It is not uncommon to find such buildings on the outskirts of Kuzusuhara's destruction. His face frowned imagining such a building being overrun by the Yarata scorpion."
(“Is this the location of the Yarata scorpion nest?”)
[Not this one.]
(“Wait, right? But I was told to come here. ”)
"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."
[It's just the entrance. I picked up a signal from another Hunter inside the building, so let's go.]
"About being able to see some Hunters along with the staff from the city's defense division inside the large hall on the first floor. The staff who took command in the area waved at Akira when he saw him enter the hall. But he clearly looked disappointed when he saw Akira up close."
(“Let me confirm this, are you here for Yarata scorpion nest culling request?”)
(“Iya.”)
(“Another child hunter, yes ?! I guess I really need to ask the people at headquarters to give me a real Hunter next time. ”)
"The staff didn't even try to hide his displeasure."
"About there wasn't there because he wanted to, so he really hoped that anyone who wanted to complain wouldn't say it. But she also understood that it was not as requested by the staff as well, so Akira tried to ignore her scathing remark."
(“Well, it's okay. You want to join the defense team or exploration team?”)
(“Please set me up for an easier one. ”)
"His answer had the staff lit up as he stared at Akira."
(“Are you kidding?”)
"Akira's face became tense as she resolutely retorted."
(“I'm serious here. If you tell me to choose, I choose the safest and easiest job. But I don't know which of the two is easier, that's why I'm asking you as someone who knows the current situation here. ”)
"The staff kept glaring at Akira, but because Akira stared back at him without jolting back. The staff changed its stance and mocked Akira."
(“Huh, okay. I'll leave you with the defense team. You just have to keep the buildings and points that we have controlled, it's an easy job that should be able to be done by kids like you.”)
"The staff operated its information terminal and began to process Akira's assignment. He was obviously upset when he saw the data he read from the terminal that Akira had borrowed."
(“Name, Akira. Hunter Rank 20, huh. That's pretty high for a kid like you. Do you have another Hunter behind you to piggyback on?”)
(“I'll leave that to your imagination. ”)
"He was very upset by Akira's apathy. But since he had just finished processing Akira's task, he decided to stop thinking about it."
(“Huh, your station will be at defense point number 14. Location should be indicated in your terminal. So, now go. ”)
(“Accepted.”)
"About leaving that place."
"After Akira left his sight, the staff muttered."
(“Gosh, that little shit. I don't know which gang sent the boy here. But I really hope they will send Hunter Guardians as well when they send a brat like him for a request like this. I'm sure he has nothing of interest in his notes .. ”)
"He then used his information terminal to open the Hunter Office website to view Hunter-related information about Akira. Although it doesn't show Akira's history, it doesn't take too many tweaks to open a page of history that he usually can't see."
"The Long-Term Strategic Division, as the one who ordered this request, has a close relationship with the Hunter Office. Because of this, some people in certain positions within the organization were given the right to access information about Hunters."
"Some Hunters hide failed requests and only show successful requests. The city staff discovered such a thing many times in the past when they laughed at those Hunters. She taunts Akira because she thinks it should also be the case for Akira. He believed the boy was also hiding the history of his request."
"But as soon as he saw Akira's request history, he was completely blown away and reactively turned towards Akira."
"Although Akira was just a little boy from the slums starting from Rank 1, it only took a few months to rise to Rank 20."
"There are several accounts that say that Akira responded to an emergency request of Kugamayama's defense forces and returned alive. Then he fights off a horde of Yarata Scorpions during a request for help with the construction of the front base while saving the other Hunters."
"And to top it off, he did all that himself. There's no record of him working in a team with another Hunter or he ever joining a Hunter gang like Drankam."
"Akira's request for history doesn't approve of what she's expecting from the young Hunter she just scorned. It even made him suspect Akira for falsifying information."
(“Who the boy really is ..”)
"What the staff felt was no wonder after seeing a shocking Hunter note that proved Akira's strength, but it was more like being afraid of seeing a boy who defied all common sense."
