Reawaken the World

Katsuya's Complaints (Part 2)

"But Akira can answer it well. Of course, it's all thanks to Alpha."

 

"The staff looked surprised and said to Akira."

 

(“Ohh, so you keep a good watch, huh? Sorry I doubted you. ”) 

 

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

(“No problem . It's true that I might look like I'm daydreaming and it's also true that I'm very tired, so I might be a little dazed right now. ”) 

 

 

"About answering straightforwardly. Although the staff could not see him, Alpha was floating beside him with a smile."

 

(“Ah, I see, you're the one who found the hole connected to the uncharted area, yes. I've also heard that you're having a fierce battle as well. I'm sorry, but it looks like you need to work longer. ”) 

 

(“I understand.”) 

 

"The staff then resumed their work. Alpha turns around and smiles at Akira."

 

[You managed to avoid him.]

 

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

"I'm smiling with satisfaction."

 

(“Well, it's okay, isn't it? Since I can do all these things just because I have your support, it is all thanks to you. Not to mention that I wouldn't be able to make this request if I didn't have your support, so if a lot of lies weren't allowed, then I shouldn't have been here in the first place. I'm 100% counting on your support. ”) 

 

[You're not wrong there.]

 

"If Alpha stops its support, Akira will only turn into a deadweight. So he planned to continue relying on it so as not to slow down the other Hunters."

 

"Although in the end, it caused a staffer to doubt his own intuition when he saw Akira relaxing, it was an acceptable sacrifice seeing the bigger picture. It was much better than being ambushed by a swarm of Yarata Scorpions."

 

"After a small conversation, Akira kept a close eye on her surroundings as time went on without anything interesting happening."

 

"The exploration of Kuzusuhara's underground ruins and the destruction of the Yarata Scorpion's nest lasted for 24 hours. After all, the monsters in the underground city remained active regardless of whether it was day or night. Thus the Hunters had to stand guard 24 hours to secure the area."

 

 

"Akira's turn lasted for 8 hours. It was the shortest shift work available. The Hunters who wanted to earn more money could stay in the underground city for 24 hours. But surely Akira plans to go home soon after 8 hours."

 

"Alpha tells Akira that her shift is almost complete, so she pulls out her terminal and contacts the headquarters."

 

(“This is number 27. HQ, are you there?”) 

 

(“This is headquarters. What's wrong?”) 

 

(“My turn is almost over, so please send another Hunter to replace me. ”) 

 

(“Oh? Wait a minute, try me check again, number 27, yes. And there was no problem with the number of Hunters present there, so you could go ahead and return home. Thanks for the hard work. ”) 

 

(“What should I do with my rental terminal?”) 

 

(“You can take it anywhere as long as you receive this request. If you are afraid of losing or damaging it, you can come to the temporary headquarters and hand it over to our staff. If there is too much work to do, you can take it home. For tomorrow, you just need to go to the first floor of the headquarters with that rental terminal. Even if you lose it, you will only get your reward reduced. In the end, it was just a cheap mass production terminal and we had a lot of reserves left. After all, they often broke out in battle. ”) 

 

(“Accept . I'll be back home for today.”) 

 

(“Be careful on the way home, remember that you will not get a reward from the monster you kill if you are attacked on the way home. That's it . Again, thanks for the hard work.”) 

 

"The headquarters then ended the call. Akira's work for the day is done."

 

"About receiving that request for 1 week, so there are still 6 days left. Although his bad luck was somewhat alarming, it would be nice if he could finish his shift well like today for the remaining 6 days."

 

"Alpha smiled and hoped that was the case."

 

[Good work today. You last one more day, we only need to do it 6 more times. Let's give it our best.]

 

(“We are not finished for today. It's still not safe until I get back to town, or at least, I shouldn't let my guard down before I get back to the surface. Your detection ability will return to normal once we get out of the underground, right? ”) 

 

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

(“True, let's get to the surface as soon as possible. Fortunately you do not immediately let your guard down just because the situation is calm. That's proof that you're an adult. ”) 

 

"Alpha honestly praised Akira's growth and she felt it wasn't too bad to be praised."

 

"When Akira thought of returning, he caught a glimpse of Katsuya's team. Katsuya's team was already underground when Akira came, so if they took the same turn as Akira, they would head to the surface before him."

 

(“Those people still live here, yes?”) 

 

[They really are Hunters who work hard. Or maybe, their contract is different to your contract. Whatever it is, whether they live here or not, it's none of our business.]

 

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

(“You're right, let's go back as soon as possible, I can't wait to take a shower. ”) 

 

"When Akira was about to leave excitedly, Alpha suddenly reminded him."

 

[Make sure to finish rifle maintenance before taking a shower, okay? Judging by how tired you are, I'm sure you'll fall asleep before cleaning the rifle if you take a shower first.]

 

"About trying to negotiate even though he knew it was a waste."

 

(“Can I do it tomorrow only..?”) 

 

[No.]

 

(“Good...”) 

 

"About bowing his head after Alpha rejected him. He sighed then dragged his feet back home, Alpha just smiled while looking at him like that."

 

 

"But Katsuya noticed Reina's actions."

 

(“Reina, what is it?”) 

 

"Reina looked like she was in a good mood when she answered back."

 

(“Hm? Ah, it's nothing. ”) 

 

"Katsuya felt a little annoyed by Reina's reply, he thought that she was trying to hide something from him."

 

"He put aside his displeasure and asked Reina a second time."

 

(“...Betulkah?”) 

 

"Reina was confused because Katsuya rarely did something like this. He then decided to say what he had just thought."

 

(“. By the way, what happened to the people who should replace us? ”) 

 

"When Reina said that, she remembered that she was stuck there when she also wanted to go home. That was why he asked Katsuya that question."

 

"Katsuya answered in panic."

 

(“A-I've asked them to send someone. So please wait a minute. ”) 

 

"Katsuya immediately thought that it was a big mistake when he said that to Reina. According to the contract between the city and Drankam, the Hunters replacement for the Drankam Hunters would be from Drankam. Therefore, they had not been able to return home like Akira who could return because there were enough Hunters to replace him."

 

(“But still, it's been 3 hours. Don't you think you should at least check with them? ”) 

 

"Reina's mood is getting worse. He was examining the current situation while talking to Katsuya, and as a result made his mood even worse."

 

"Reina had only temporarily forgotten her fatigue as she fought at full strength. Now, all the accumulated fatigue weighed on him. Despite alternating breaks, in the end they could only sit on the hard floor, so it seemed like they could not heal much. Her exhaustion only made Reina even more annoyed."

 

"Katsuya regretted what he just said to Reina. He looked regretful as he tried to comfort her."

 

(“They said that they encountered an unexpected problem when sending the Hunters. But they're already on their way here, so let's just wait a minute, okay? ”) 

 

"Yumina then tried to calm Reina down as well."

 

(“Reina, relax. It's not like he can do anything even if you blame him, right? So patience. ”) 

 

"Water also joined."

 

(“It's not Katsuya.”'s fault) 

 

"Face of Reina moved. If it was the usual Reina, she would have started going berserk and yelling there, and after that, Shiori would have tried to calm her down while reprimanding her. Katsuya and the other two people also thought it would happen when they frowned."

 

"And as they expected, Reina became tense and it seemed like she was going to start yelling."

 

"But unexpectedly, he stopped and immediately tried to calm himself down. Reina gritted her teeth as if she was holding something back, she then let out a long sigh."

 

(“. ”) 

 

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

"Katsuya, Yumina and Airi were startled by an unexpected event."

 

"Reina was a little displeased when she realized how the other's reaction was."

 

(“What's with that face? Do you have a problem with what I'm saying? ”) 

 

(“Ah, no, no, no, Yumina?”) 

 

(“Eh? Ah yeah. ”) 

 

(“It's nice that you won't cause a fuss in every thing.”) 

 

"The last utterance from Airi caused Reina's face to twitch, but that was it. Reina sighed while trying to calm herself down. It didn't take long before she returned to her usual mood."

 

 

"About judging that he wouldn't hire Reina even if it was free which was the second worst evaluation, he didn't retract that evaluation even after he would have a fight with Shiori."

 

"Then Akira asked the headquarters to split the rewards of the battle evenly between the three of them. It showed that he judged he deserved the same amount of reward as her. Reina thought that she made that evaluation after seeing her skills, which was why she was in a good mood."

 

"Shiori looked towards Reina with a conflicted look. It was obvious that Reina's skill had developed, but the trigger of that sudden growth was because she had met Akira. Shiori really wished the trigger was her. In any case, she remained beside Reina to help and support her."

 

 

"Katsuya looked at Reina who was talking to Shiori. The fiery Reina was usually no longer around, she thought that might also be the reason why she could refrain from shouting."

 

"Katsuya knew very well when Reina changed, it was after she followed Akira."

 

"At that time, Reina quit her team and chased after Akira. And when they met again after that, he had already changed."

 

"When Katsuya asked her what happened after she quit the group, Reina proudly told him that she was fighting against a horde of Yarata Scorpions. He told her how he fought valiantly and Shiori who was with him confirmed that it was true."

 

"By the way, both Reina and Shiori decided to hide the fact that they had almost had a fight with Akira. Even for someone like Reina, she knew very well that it would only cause unnecessary trouble if she told Katsuya about it."

 

"Reina was mostly in a good mood after she met Katsuya's team. Many will think he is in a good mood because he went through a good battle, but Katsuya doesn't believe that's the only reason."

 

 

"Although she herself was unaware of it, she actually felt rather unpleasant that one of her friends went along with someone she hated only 

to come back later with better skills and a better mood than before."
