After Akira returned to the city safely, he immediately went to the acquisition station of the hunter's office.

Then, just like last time, wait in line at the buying and selling window.

The clerk in charge was the same man as before.

Nojima remembered Akira.

But he didn't notice it right away, but coped as someone else.

"If you have a hunter's license, give it out...... Really?"

Nogema was a little surprised by Akira's change.

What I saw before was only the children of the slums.

But now it's different.

With the items stolen from Casimo and the minimum equipment of the Hunter, the difference in appearance is also very noticeable.

But that's not all.

Although there are few, they bring out the unique temperament exuded by those who have received the baptism of the wilderness.

That's the biggest difference.

It's not just self-proclaimed hunters who have completed their hunter registration.

Although still in its infancy, there are indeed hunters standing there.

If that's the case, at least you won't die, and you can still go here.

Nogema thought for a moment, smiled lightly, regained her spirits, and confirmed the purchase.

"This thing...... It's weird. Were you really lucky last time?"

Even if it's a curved shape, what you desperately want to bring home will be picky, and Akira tilts her face unconvinced.

"It's weird, I'm sorry. It's also a relic of the old world I brought back from the ruins, and it should be worth more than the last time. What does it mean to be lucky?"

Akira looked at Nogema in amazement.

Nojima smiled happily.

"You'll understand right away. ”

As last time, Nogema put what the hunter was going to sell on the back shelf along with the tray and operated the terminal system in his hand.

Take out the banknote from the equipment next to it.

Put it in an envelope and put it in front of Akira with a smile.

"The part of the goods that have been approved for the last purchase and the advance payment this time totals 200,000 euros. ”

Akira heard the news of the payment and instantly lost consciousness.

After that, pick up the envelope slowly.

Then he pulled out the banknote and felt it with his eyes and touch, which deepened his uneasiness.

Just a few days ago, for those who fought for 300 euros, the weight of that amount was simply a world of difference.

Nogema watched Akira's reaction and smiled happily with satisfaction.

"It's rare for a hunter here to charge so much money?

If you continue to watch and don't leave quickly, it will be too conspicuous. Get out of here. ”

Akira, who came to her senses, put the envelope into her arms in a panic, and walked out of the acquisition station with some embarrassment.

Looking at Akira's back, Nojima smiled wryly.

Akira didn't change much after he left the takeover.

There is no sign of calm at all.

Seeing her appearance, Alpha accosted her in a calm tone.

"Akira, calm down. That level of change makes you embarrassed, will it be hard in the future?"

This sentence was unimaginable in the already ingrained concept of money in him, and Akira couldn't help but make a sound.

"Ah, that's a little change! What are you talking about? ? 200,000 Eurorams! Huge sums of money!"

Alpha stared at Akira, asserting in a tough tone.

"No, that's change.

If you consider that it was the amount of money that I got after getting my support, it must be change.

Akira knows the same thing. ”

"Really, even if you say so......"

"Also, now Akira has become a suspicious person who speaks in the air, be careful. ”

Akira hurriedly shut her mouth.

Now I am a duck who has become suspicious because he has made a lot of money.

I consciously wanted to calm down, but it didn't have much effect.

"If not, take a break today.

There is also a lot of fatigue accumulated in the ruins.

And, until you calm down, there's no way not to stand out from the crowd when you're standing here. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Although Akira regained her composure and replied in a low voice, she didn't seem to have completely calmed down and was ready to go back to sleep.

But it was stopped by Alpha's serious expression.

"No, not over there. ”

"Huh, where is the bed?"

"No, you have to live in a hotel, you have money now, right?"

"Yes, but ......"

Akira has a feeling of having money, and she is hesitant to spend the rare money she earns on accommodation fees.

So Alpha nagged and explained to a child with a gentle smile.

'Now the more money we have, the easier it is to die.'

It's not a waste of money.

Since we are making a lot of money now, please use it properly and effectively.

I will teach you the proper way to use your money.

... Very good, right? Will you believe my support?'

Akira couldn't refuse that.

This is how we agree to build trust through actions and results.

While suppressing the slight throbbing caused by the feeling of money, he made up his mind and nodded earnestly.

“...... I know. ”

"Thank you. So, let's go and stay overnight. I'll choose, okay?"

"Ah,"

"Over here. ”

Alpha guided Akira with a smile.

How much does the hotel cost? Akira followed with an irrevocable unease.

Hunter-oriented inns are of course allowed to carry items such as firearms.

The weapons used against monsters are all powerful things, and if they are used to make a noise and cause a commotion, it will cause a lot of damage to the inn and the guests, so the guests are asked to act politely.

As long as you stick to this principle, the basic principle is not to turn away anyone who comes.

Even if there are still riots, voices of death, as long as the compensation is paid accurately to the brigade, and at the same time behaves appropriately and gets the compromise of the guests, there is no problem.

Since it is a cheap accommodation for hunters near the slums, the standards surrounding it are also relaxed.

Even if a child in the slum is fully armed and asks for a room, he will not be denied accommodation as long as he has the money.

Akira also had a smooth stay.

Akira stayed in this hostel for a fair price.

The room was quite spacious.

Because it is a special inn for hunters, there is plenty of space to move around for the preparation of equipment and the place where relics are placed.

There is also a bathroom.

Beds are also provided.

There was also food in the fridge.

The most important thing is that it is much safer than the outside.

It is very different from the paving in the alley.

Akira also fully understands its value.

The luxurious look still can't be compared with the usual bed, just like ......

Akira, on the other hand, was a little heavy, and also seemed to have a complicated expression.

"20,000 euros a night...... I can't believe it......."

Understandably what it's worth and what it takes, hesitation to pay is another matter.

Akira's hand, which was paying for the accommodation, trembled slightly.

Alpha chose the room.

If Akira had chosen the room herself, it would have been cheaper.

Sighing softly, looking at Akira's figure, very reluctantly, wasting a little money, it looks like he has lowered his head.

Seeing Akira's appearance, Alpha smiled wryly.

"There are a lot of ideas, but how about taking a shower and resting first?"

“...... Bath, bath, bath, bath!"

Hearing the word bath, Akira suddenly changed her attitude and was happy about it. A happy expression was revealed.

There are also houses with bathrooms in the slums.

But there is a limit to the number of people who can use that device.

If it weren't for the people who occupied the building, or the people who paid them, there was basically no chance of taking a bath.

All a child like Akira, who lives in an alley, can do is soak a rag in water that is not suitable for drinking and wipe his body.

Akira, who was already in a better mood, walked towards the bathroom, and now that she thought about it, Akira couldn't remember the last time she took a shower.

The bathtub is filled with bathing water.

During this time, wash your body carefully.

A large amount of hot water can be used luxuriously, and the whole body can be washed with the soap provided.

It is impossible to have the opportunity to enjoy such a luxury in the hutongs.

It took a lot of time for the water to become less cloudy and for the soap foam to get better.

After washing her body well, she put hot water in the bathtub to make sure that she could soak her whole body, and Akira immediately went into the bath and took a dip.

Hot water spilled over her shoulder, and Akira made a strange sound that looked like she was collapsing.

The fatigue in his whole body began to melt away, and his body gave way to such a comfortable feeling.

The bath gives a feeling of comfort, and Akira has a happy expression.

Akira slowly relaxed her body, her consciousness seemed to melt into the hot water, and her mouth made a pleasant and happy sound.

"How's the water temperature?"

Akira was now conscious, turning her face in the direction of the sound.

There, Akira was surprised to find Alpha also appearing in the bathroom.

Alpha was wearing a dress and sitting next to the bathtub, and the hot steam seemed to stain the skin of Alpha's body scarlet.

The liquid that dripped on the skin was sucked down the smooth skin into the valley of the chest.

The charming and beautiful body, hidden under the refraction of hot water and floating steam, is illusory and ethereal.

Of course, it is impossible for an alpha without a physical substance to soak in hot water.

Just show yourself like that in Akira's field of vision.

However, the calculation of a high degree of computing power makes it possible to see things that are liked and beautiful, and there is no resistance at all in front of people.

Even the shaking, transmission, and reflection of hot water are calculated and plotted.

Unless you try to reach out and touch it, you can only think it's there.

Only the waves that pass through the seductive flesh show that the beautiful owner does not exist there.

Akira replied in a daze.

“...... It's the best. ...... Why naked?"

Alpha smiled, with an optimistic expression.

Why don't you get dressed and take a shower??'

“...... Truly. ”

Akira accepted the reason, nodded briefly, and then ended Alpha's reaction.

Turning his gaze back to the front, he threw his body directly into the bath, as if in a daze.

On the surface, it was Alpha who smiled constantly, smiling and recording dissatisfaction, remembering Akira's reaction.

Akira. The way I look now, I won't say anything?"

Akira moved her neck a little incredulously, already realizing that her thoughts had melted into the hot water.

Then the answer was intermittent.

“......？...... Of course...... It's a computer-made graphic, but it's ...... What is it made of?"

I agree. True, but that's not the case. What are your thoughts on my current state, your impressions of modeling, and your candid thoughts??'

Akira moved her neck again and sat looking at Alpha.

Then it seems that there is no conscious thinking in the final result.

“...... Your boobs ...... Big?"

Alpha smiled wryly.

"Of course, I would like to hear about my physical assessment, my tastes, my interests...... But it's not bad now!'

Although it is a teenager of this age, it is just the vision of taking a shower with a naked beauty, but Akira's reaction is always cold and seriously sluggish.

Alpha's plump breasts, moist and red skin, and shaking his ass in the waves of hot water don't seem to be very interested.

In the bath, the touch of hot water and the pleasure of warmth, and now the naked body of Alpha are completely unimportant.

Akira's eyes were so clear.

Akira's consciousness completely dissolved in the bath before the persuasion of sleeping in the bath, Alpha smiled bitterly and noticed.

'You might drown if you just sleep?'

“...... This kind of place, like the characteristics of home? If...... What to do?"

"Get out of the bathroom, wipe your body well, get dressed, and sleep in bed"

“...... I know. ”

Akira stood up leisurely and slowly emerged from the tub.

I walked straight out of the bathroom, wiped my body, put on civilian clothes, and immediately collapsed on the bed.

So he immediately couldn't bear the attack of the Sandman.

Good Night

"Hmm...... Good night......"

Alpha, who smiled softly as usual, Akira was reluctantly answered by the Sandman who drank and disappeared consciousness.

Then I found the slumber directly.

The next day, Akira woke up a little after sunrise.

If you follow your usual life, you will sleep heartily.

The accumulation of fatigue and the sleeping sensation of the bed, which is particularly soft compared to the ground in the alley, kept Akira from waking up at the usual time.

When I woke up, I was confused by the feeling that I had a different feeling, but I was also diluted by that feeling.

So he was accosted by Alpha with a smile.

"Good morning. Akira. You seem to be sleeping well. ”

“...... Good morning. Alpha. ...... Wait!Where is this!?"

When she was accosted and became a little more conscious, Akira jumped up in surprise.

Then hurriedly looked around.

If it's in an alley, it's fatal to move slowly.

Even if he is dead, there is nothing incredible, just for that panic, it is too much.

Alpha replied in a gentle tone, calming Akira down.

"This is the room at the hotel where you stayed yesterday, have you forgotten?"

Akira slowly remembered yesterday's events, let down her guard, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“...... Yes, I stayed in a hostel. ”
