Rebuild World

Akira is waiting for Carol in the lower section of Kugamayama City.

Carol contacted me shortly after the reward for hunter operations at the Mihazono Street site was transferred to Akira's account. The job is to distribute the rewards.

The money transferred to Akira's account is the reward of the Akira team. Carol's pay must be paid by Akira, who hired Carol. My forehead is my forehead. In order to avoid killing Carol because of her non-payment of the reward, Akira must also negotiate well with Carol to pay the appropriate reward.

Akira tried to keep talking about the reward on the information terminal call, but Carol wanted to meet and talk to Akira in person, so she decided where and when to meet.

Akira was waiting for Carol in a shopping district close to the barrier in the lower compartment. The mall is used by those who are relatively wealthy and unrelated to vandalism, even in the lower compartments. Security people are also armed, but dressed with care to give them peace of mind so as not to make the people around them more alert than necessary. Except for the people on guard, he's dressed far from a havoc.

As a result, Akira was a little noticeable. Akira wore tightly reinforced clothing and was equipped with an AAH assault gun and an A2D assault gun. It is the outfit of a hunter who has no problem going out into the wilderness like this. Had I even equipped myself with an A4WM automatic projectile gun or a DVTS minigun, I would probably have been kicked out by a security person.

Alpha smiles and talks with pleasure.

"You're remarkable."

'It's not my fault. It was Carol who put the rendezvous place here. "

Akira is quite remarkable, but that is to the extent that she gathers a little more bizarre gaze at dressed humans than the atmosphere of the place. There is no atmosphere of fear of armed hunters. That means that the presence that maintains security on this occasion retains the force of war that can be eliminated without any problems, such as force to that extent. We all know that rubbing is not the only way to do it.

Alpha speaks comparing Akira's outfit to that of the people around her.

'I don't mind, but if Akira doesn't want to stand out, you might want to pay a little more attention to her outfit. I think Akira could buy some clothes that aren't for hunter operations either.'

'I don't plan on getting dressed up and going anywhere, and I don't think I want it, and I won't need it. Sure, it's a little noticeable, but I just hope you don't mind. Is that kind of clothing pretty expensive? You shouldn't have to buy it.'

'You're absolutely right. Siori and Kanae were wearing made-up clothes, too. If he thinks it's a good idea, he might not have to fit in.'

Ask Akira with a slightly unpleasant look.

'... am I treating you the same way I treat Siori and Kanae then?

"You're right, in the sense that you're dressed for something out of place."

"… Would you consider purchasing for a little while?"

Alpha was smiling when she saw Akira, who began to worry a little.

Carol showed up a little before the promised time. When I found Akira, I waved gently and rushed over.

Carol wore clear clothes that made her feel classy. It's the exact opposite of the fortified garment design worn at the Mihazono Street ruins. The only thing in common is the low exposure of the skin and the seductive shape that cannot be hidden by loose clothes and the high price of clothes that one can tell.

Akira looks a little surprised to see Carol in the opposite outfit at the ruins. Because it was far from Carol's personal clothes that I had unconsciously imagined.

And Carol gave Akira a slightly unexpected look when she saw her outfit, then smiled (cheeks) and looked slightly dissatisfied. Exhale slightly and then ask.

"At a dinner meeting with a woman, I was wondering if that outfit would be a bit good?

Akira answers flatly by putting the earlier thing on the shelf.

"A hunter talks to a hunter about running a hunter. Wouldn't be so weird dressed either."

Carol observes Akira's attitude carefully. I don't see any illuminating attitude at all.

"Surely Akira was keenly studying what to do when she met up with a woman? You don't seem to be studying enough."

"Did I say that?

"I told you. They can't even remember what they're talking about. Shall we go then?"

Carol leads Akira to a restaurant away from where she meets.

Actually, Carol was going to invite Akira to another atmospheric restaurant near the meeting point. However, it was a shop that was not suitable for people in fortified clothing.

You won't be refused entry, but it doesn't make a difference that you're in the wrong place. Carol made that decision and was smiling lightly and bitterly trying not to show Akira her face as she was glad she didn't have to make an appointment.

We go into the store together, sit across from the table for four, look at the menu with the pictures and choose the dishes to order. Carol looked at Akira, who was quite serious about choosing what to order, and smiled (ho ho ho) at how it was going, but she thought a lot about it. It is about this subsequent negotiation, and more precisely the examination of the means of using it to cage Akira.

Carol starts telling Akira what she's up to this time around finishing her order and continuing the chat and getting one of the dishes she ordered on the table.

"The food's here, too, and it's time to get down to business"

"That's a reward distribution, isn't it?

"That's right. Stop the little difficult rush and ask. How much does Akira pay me?

Carol is invincibly waiting for Akira to reply with a smile on her face.

Akira had a difficult look on her face, but on the contrary she asks Carol back.

"How much do I have to pay Carol?

Carol answers with a pleasantly confident smile.

"Oh, I was going to stop the little difficult rush for Akira at the corner (because of it), but Akira prefers the rush? You can take it and stand, but I'm tough.

Akira talks a little hard.

"No, I'm not sure about the market or the right amount of compensation before that. That's why I'm asking Carol. I guess Carol's used to negotiating like that, huh?

Akira also knows that it is dangerous to expose her ignorance in the negotiating arena. But Akira doesn't even have the knowledge to pretend she has that hand. Carol would definitely spot me in the guise of awkward knowledge.

Akira reopened in a way. I don't know anything I don't. The decrease in profits due to lack of knowledge was decided to be split with the necessary expenses until that knowledge was gained.

Carol checks on Akira, thinks a little before putting in an exploration.

"As an experienced reward negotiator, I'll tell you that I'm not good at judging Akira's side. More than you don't know the market, and more than you and I have decided to cap our rewards, you should make sure that you present what you want, whether it's plain or greedy that you don't know the market. A reward for two people has already been transferred to Akira's account, so you can use it to push it hard. If the negotiations are decisively broken, it is up to me to take the rewards. It's hard for me to take it from Akira. So I might make a lot of concessions trying to avoid that hassle. Naturally, Akira's rewards will increase just as I pull back."

Akira listens to Carol's explanation and agrees with it and continues the conversation.

"You sure do. So, how much does Carol want?

Carol hadn't broken her smile on the surface, but she was pretty confused on the inside. I can't feel the desire to fold or match rewards based on Akira's condition. Teaching Akira that she is in a favourable position doesn't give her the appearance to try to use it. If Carol offers the desired amount, Akira is likely to accept that amount as it is.

(To be honest, I'm not really interested in the amount of compensation either, am I? Throughout the negotiation of that reward, after convincing Akira of the amount of my reward, it is more important for me to make a significant concession and sell my thanks to Akira...)

Carol worries a little and decides to just say it to try and see how Akira reacts.

"Hopeful forehead. I'm not willing to sell my strength cheaply either, and I'm confident in the art of negotiating to hang my rewards. Sometimes you set a higher amount for the start of negotiations. Extreme story, what is Akira going to do if I tell her to give me the full price? Akira says she doesn't know the market, and what if I try to convince Akira's ignorance and make her pay in full? I'm pretty confident I'll succeed."

That's what Carol said and smiled invincibly.

Akira answers normally.

"In that case, I have no choice. Let's pay the full price."

Carol's grin broke.

Akira is not negotiating like a total surrender with something behind her. That's just what happened when I listened to Carol on Akira's slightly distorted values.

Akira hired Carol to head to the ruins of Mihazono Street to help Elena and the others. In Akira's mood, earning money is second to none from the beginning.

And Akira is the one who hired Carol. He wanted to unconsciously pay Carol more than he hired. I took a better hunter than myself to a dead place of my own free will. The consideration should be duly paid. That's what Akira thought.

In Slam Street, extremely unequal negotiations are not uncommon: stick a gun to your opponent and leave everything behind with money and food. Akira hates being taken away. But I don't want to turn to the side that takes it. Akira may have wanted the legitimate deal she wanted when she was the one to be robbed, and she wanted to realize that she already had it without having to take it.

But Akira doesn't know the right amount of compensation to pay Carol.

There is a personal difference in the sense of a legitimate amount of reward. Hunter is out in the wilderness risking his life. And my life and the lives of others are always unequal. That's why negotiating hunters' rewards is so rubbing. Sometimes after a successful job, so much so that the hunters I worked with killed each other.

Akira understands that, too. So I decided to ask that to the person most likely to know the right reward. I mean, it's Carol.

Carol quickly put a grin back on her face when she realized her grin had collapsed. Observe Akira as she pretends that she is not upset. There is no joke or rush to negotiate. I'm serious. That's what I decided.

(You got it. Start by offering a high price, lowering my forehead in the form of concessions I make while negotiating, in the form of selling favors to Akira. I was planning to get along better by connecting the favors, but offering a bad amount would cut me off on the grounds of the amount of the payment. This is a difficult negotiation)

Carol is mistaken, but nothing. Akira is also not going to pay in full silence. Pay Carol the basis of the amount once you are satisfied with the justification. That's what I mean.

Additionally, Akira intends to maximize her efforts not to be satisfied with the amount of the claim. If you were convinced on top of that, if you were convinced and admitted to the legitimacy of that claim, you would pay because you had no choice. That's what convincing is.

Additionally, Akira looked a little sweet at what she said and did because Alpha was silent. That's all he said. If there was a problem, it would stop. That's what I was thinking.

The reason Alpha is silent is because if Akira loses a lot in this negotiation, the outcome will be used as a pretext to limit Akira's future actions (to). Alpha was deliberately silent on this occasion, taking into account various interests.

Carol worried a little and decided to take safety measures. The important thing is that Akira doesn't make a bad impression, at least.

(… it's a little shaky, but do you like it here as an ancestor?)

When Carol sets the guidelines, she resumes negotiations with Akira.

"Akira's been working with Elena and the others several times, hasn't she? How were you distributing the rewards then? Who had decided how to distribute it and on what basis?

"Hmm? Elena decided to distribute it roughly normally"

Carol wanted to ask Akira about the details of the distribution method that she would describe as normal, but she would base it on assuming the distribution method Elena would present to Akira.

"Then let's split it fairly half of it normally, too. Let's not talk about whether that reward is commensurate with the battle at the ruins of Mihazono Street. We didn't agree on each other's share well in advance. You don't have to rub (or) leave unnecessary remorse in vain. There's nothing better than the reasonableness of the price of the reward. Respect understandable fairness in order to stay with someone you want to get along with for a long time. What do you say?"

"Okay."

Akira stops the meal and manipulates the information terminal to transfer the rewards to Carol's account.

"I transferred it. Check it out."

"Okay."

Carol also took out her own information terminal to confirm the transfer.

"I checked. This concludes my request with Akira unharmed. Thank you. I sat down. Did I live up to Akira's expectations? I'd like to hear your client's assessment."

Carol asked Akira, smiling (cheeky) as she expected something a little pranky.

Akira thought a little about Carol's attitude, but answers honestly for now.

"Oh. That's a lot of help and I'm glad I hired Carol. Thank you. Thank you."

Carol replies in a good mood to Akira, who answers that and bows her head lightly.

"You're welcome. Keep it up."

It's not a failure for now. It would be a success in one way or another. Carol first made that decision based on Akira's attitude. Then look at Akira, who seems to carry delicious (Hey) dishes into her mouth, and reaffirm the correctness of her decision that made the negotiating place a restaurant.

(Akira won't be home either until she finishes her meal. If I had finished the negotiations at the coffee shop around there, Akira would likely be home as soon as the negotiations were over)

Carol's predictions are probably correct. Unless Carol was talking about how much Akira would interest her, Akira would have just tried to go home if she didn't need anything. Unlike the ones Carol has dealt with before, Akira is less willing to enjoy meeting Carol.

Akira and Carol continue to eat as they continue to chat. Akira talks without any particular thought, but Carol was behind a fun smile (cheeks) and talking about topics that would interest Akira as she explored topics that would enhance Akira's liking.

Carol observes a subtle change in Akira's expression on the topic as she talks about various topics indefinitely. Topics sometimes bounced more on common topics, and the majority of stories were about hunter operations.

Akira answers with interest when she hears an earful tale of an artifact sale from Carol.

"Heh. Sometimes I can sell that high. Awesome."

"That's right. Hunters and personal vendors are exploring the front and back dealership of the subdivision when they hear that tens of thousands of aurum worth of artifacts have been sold for over a million aurum."

"Old World Relic Toys…. I wonder what kind of artifact it is."

"I couldn't even look into the details of the artifact, either, but I'm talking about the black and silver store where I bought the artifact. The black and silver store put a high price on it. And it was sold at a relic dealership for a low price. From that story, I don't think toys are classified as precision machines, but rather brought in relatively close to a piece of art in good condition. Maybe it was something that collectors looking for toys like that in the old world were looking for. A lot of people spend a lot of money on a hobby like that."

What Carol is telling Akira is the story of an artifact sale that jumped into Carol's information network. A hunter recently successfully resold relics from the Old World in a subdivision of Kugamayama City and grabbed a fortune. Not uncommon rumors, but Akira would also be interested in talking about selling artifacts if she were a hunter. That's what Carol was thinking and gathering up the topic of selling relics in advance.

It's just a few common rumors (rumors), but enough to spark Akira's interest. Smile with satisfaction when Carol sees Akira showing great interest in the story.

Ask Carol what Akira, who heard about the resale of relics and their commerce, wondered a little.

"Does a store that buys or sells artifacts like that make that much money (already)?

"It depends on the owner's arm there. I'm telling you, if you give me the relics and the money, I'll make a lot of money."

"... may I open a store in Slam Street? Besides, is the location in the back alley?

Turn Carol's unexpected look to Akira.

"Oh, could Akira be interested in the business of that hand, too? Mm-hmm. In my opinion, if Akira's strength makes more money keeping a hunter open than opening a store with that hand poorly, right?

Many hunters operate in the east (for) the capital of entrepreneurship. Hunter operation is very dangerous but not bad as a means to get a lot of money quickly. And when your previous history is a highly-ranked hunter, it's also quite easy to collect loans for your business. Because if the business fails, the means can be used to get the hunter to resume operations and take out debts.

As Carol's cruel and personal circumstance, as a distorted hobby, Carol hopes Akira will continue to act more as a hunter than a merchant. Someone wants the money they spend to buy themselves to be the seepage of blood and life, not the money they earn from normal business. The words that stopped Akira are not lies, but most of the reason is you.

Akira doesn't think she has any business talent either. Gently shake your head to the side and answer.

"No, not me, someone I know recently opened a store in Slam Street with that hand. I also guard the store. He put quite a bit of money on the interior of the store, but I was wondering if it would be profitable to build a shop like that in Slam Street."

"Oh. That's the thing. Akira said she lived in Slam Street before, but didn't she listen to a store like that then?

"I knew there was a store like that, but I wasn't in a position to get involved."

"Yes. Then I'll teach you a lot. I'm pretty familiar with that, too, huh?

Carol smiled (cheeks) well and began to tell Akira with pleasure.

There are countless shops in Kugamayama City that buy and sell relics from the old world. Stores vary in size and variety. There are many stores in Slam Street. And many of those shops in Slam Street operate as so-called (so-called) back shops.

Nothing. Slam Street stores are not illegal. But it's also true that hunter offices often do business that they don't feel too comfortable with, judging by the cost of controlling, etc., and acquiesce to.

The Hunter Office is not too comfortable with Hunter purchasing relics from the Old World for sale purposes. Because if a hunter brings an artifact bought with gold into a hunter's office boutique, not an artifact acquired by the hunter on his own at a ruin in the old world, the significance of the hunter rank is shaken when he does poorly.

The Hunter Rank is to show the strength of the Hunter. That strength is essentially the ability to obtain precious Old World artifacts from the ruins of the dangerous Old World. The Hunter Office favours high-ranking hunters in order to develop human resources for this purpose.

Preferential items, which can also be called privileges granted by the Hunter Office to high-ranking hunters, are considerable. In many cases, eastern cities provide for hunters to be above a certain hunter rank as a criterion for granting permission to enter within the barrier. There is also information on sites in the old world that will only be available to high-ranking hunters. Companies also offer cheap new products to high-ranking hunters while promoting their products.

As a result, hunters purchase artifacts obtained by other hunters (to gain a higher Hunter Rank than their own) and fake them into the Hunter Office shopping area. Buy other artifacts with the sale money of the artifacts and bring it back to the hunter's office boutique. Those who attempt to increase the Hunter Rank with that repetition are constant.

In rare (rare) examples, hunters who do not want to increase their hunter rank due to some circumstance may intentionally distribute artifacts obtained at the site to buyers unrelated to the hunter's office.

This may be referred to as buying and selling hunter ranks among hunters via artifact dealers. Many so-called (so-called) legitimate stores restrict the sale of relics to hunters or verify their identity in order to prevent them from being picked up from the hunter's office, even if indirectly by the act of their hands.

Then, when it comes to where hunters who work to rank their hands will buy artifacts, they will be the ones behind stores in Slam Street and elsewhere.

In addition, organizations that divide excessively insecure places sometimes employ hunter breakdowns as the force of the organization. Because the higher their hunter rank, the more foil (soldering) they have, they often hand over relics from the Old World instead of gold as a reward for them. Many people find it more convenient to be hired than simply to receive their rewards in gold, and are often hired on the terms of the relics of the old world. Most of the old world relics that organizations pay them for are also traded in Slam Street relics.

Slam Street relic traders benefit greatly from accepting such publicly unavailable demand.

Akira had listened with great interest to Carol.

Carol was smiling (cheeky) with pleasure, satisfied that she had caught Akira's interest. At the same time deduce why you are interested in talking about that hand and its context.

(Akira is from Slam Street. I was probably lucky enough to find it in the ruins of the old world, even the higher-priced relics, geared up and hunted. And he grew up as a hunter for quite a short time. That explains Akira's lack of knowledge. Since Akira became a hunter, she hasn't had enough time to gain general knowledge of the hunter. Then you have a terrible talent. Shikarabe is on guard.... The reason Akira shows a strong interest in my story is probably because she's hungry for knowledge. I wonder if it's a recoil of life in Slam Street that didn't gain a lot of knowledge.... Low interest in heterosexuality is also due to the desperate and delayed maturation of personality to live?

Not far from the inside. Carol had somewhat discerned the inept figure of Akira in a sense with the insight that caged many heterosexuals.

Ask Carol as she pretends she can't do anything.

"Speaking of which, does Akira have any problems or anything?

"Trouble?"

"Yes. I have a lot of life experience, so if you have any problems, you can talk to me and I'll talk to you, okay?

Carol laughs and continues with fun and meaningfulness.

"My most recent problem with Michi is that someone somewhere who says it's more delicious than color doesn't react at all if I ask her out, but maybe Akira doesn't know any good ways?

I joke and enjoy watching Carol talk like that, and Akira answers with a little bit of fun and laughter.

"You have no idea. We'll have to wait for his age to end, won't we? Or you could cut him loose and go after another one."

"Thanks a lot for the advice that won't solve anything. So, what's Akira's problem? No matter what Akira says, I'll give you some advice that won't help either."

Carol encouraged Akira to talk by responding with pleasure.

Akira thinks a little before answering.

"... troubles. Right. Strongly, you don't have enough money and strength for me.... Are you saying this is a problem too?

"Oh, I think I've got quite a bit of money for this job, and I think Akira's strength is a lot, but isn't it enough?

"That being said, ammunition costs money, I want new equipment, I want a delicious meal, and I don't think there's enough money. Strength means it's not enough at a time when I'm struggling at the ruins of Mihazono Street. Well, all this has to do is get the sperm out into hunter operation. There will be no easy solution. I know about that too."

Precisely in a state that already relies heavily on an easy and effective solution: Alpha support. Beyond that awareness, Akira will have to work hard later.

Carol speaks with a confident smile.

"Then I invited Akira when she escorted me, but you can work with me on a lot of things. I'm thinking my combat and negotiation skills have been shown to such an extent that Akira can reconsider them. What do you think? If you want to work with me, I'll tell you exactly what Akira found out. It's faster than Akira gaining experience on her own. Knowledge and technology, right?

Akira worried a little differently than last time, but returns the same answer.

"I'm sorry, but I say no"

Carol gives a slightly unexpected look and then asks very unfortunately.

"Oh, I was going to work pretty hard to get Akira to recognize my strengths, but couldn't I?

Akira answers with a little difficulty.

"No, it doesn't mean I don't recognize Carol's prowess. As I've said before, I'm quite the person who likes to act on my own, so it doesn't suit me sexually to team up with someone to schedule and act..."

"I'm the one asking you to put it together, so I'll make it up to Akira's schedule, okay? So if you decide it doesn't fit a lot, you just have to break up. Still no?"

"No, still, hey, sorry"

Did I offend Carol? Akira thought so, but contrary to that expectation, Carol laughs and answers.

"Yes. Then you have no choice. It's true that working with a hunter who doesn't have the right rhythm to run a hunter can also be a waste of trouble. I don't like persistent women, and I wouldn't be forced to invite them. But you don't mind if Akira puts it together temporarily, do you? I guess Elena and the others are also going to the ruins. Can I ask you out like that, too? Of course. You're welcome to invite Akira, right?

Akira answers with a few thoughts.

"Right. Well, if there's any chance."

Carol answers with a smile.

"Well, then, be good then."

"Oh."

Akira also replied with a laugh.

Akira continued to bicker with Carol for a while afterwards. Around finishing the meal, replacing the coffee after the meal several times and realizing she had stayed long beyond her original schedule, Akira left the store by saying goodbye to Carol.

Carol stayed in the store for a while after Akira left. Smile (cheeks) and squeal (crushes) a little remorsefully.

"Hmm. Akira didn't seem to react badly, but didn't you until you attached a specific promise to meet her next? I guess I've been asking her out too much lately, and she dropped her inviting arm because of her talking skills."

Carol is not caging her opponent just because of her colorful incense. Other than that, they use a variety of other means to attract the attention of their opponents overall. That's one way to talk to someone you're close to. Hear what they want, talk about the answers they want, and cage them strong and deep by having a common topic, discussing their concerns, and sharing their values. Sexual means are just the process.

Carol also leads the opponent to a better condition in the process. Encourage them to think more positively, inspire them to be more confident, and support them so that they can live their lives more positively and positively and have fun. It is also the consideration Carol gives to the other person for receiving the money that the other person has earned for risking his life.

It should be noted that even if the recipient of that consideration becomes excessively positive and excessively optimistic and storms the ruins of the old world so dangerous that it exceeds his strength, Carol thinks that's good. People use their lives differently. Carol doesn't try to stop it. It's going to be counterproductive, though I might do something to stop it.

"He's going to say no to appropriately inviting me to explore the ruins because of Akira's condition, and it seems unlikely he'll invite me from Akira's. I don't know what to do..."

When Carol is devising the next hand to cage Akira, she receives a call request to the information terminal. Take the information terminal and confirm the person before responding to the call request.

"Viola, I'm on the go, so if it's creepy (first) for someone to ask, call me back later."

"It's okay. I just want to ask Carol something. It's no big deal."

Carol had a rather good mood for Viola's voice and felt that she was not a busy person behind it.
