Akira explores the remains of valuable relics in the ruins that the heavily armed hunters have salvaged as they deem inappropriate.

But Akira doesn't know the value of the relic.

Follow Alpha's instructions to stuff something decent into a paper bag.

This paper bag is also found here.

The bag that had been prepared in advance broke because it could not bear the weight of the artifact.

Looking at the blue-green paper bag that packed the relics items, Akira had a slightly uneasy expression.

Shopping bags made of paper are quite thin and don't look very sturdy.

“...... It won't be broken until you get back to the city, will it?"

"It doesn't matter, this paper bag is also made in the old world, that is, a relic of the old world. Sturdier than it looks on the outside, don't worry. ”

"I see, it's an old-world technology, it's amazing. ”

Akira looked into the bag again.

It's stuffed with small things that even a child can handle, as well as relics that Alpha has carefully selected.

Akira also doesn't quite understand something.

A pocket knife with a sheath. There are several mechanical parts of unknown purpose. Several boxes were told to be recovery pills. Bandages and stuff. Something like a watch.

There are all sorts of things in it.

There is still a gap in the bag for filling, and it is not that heavy.

“...... Would you like to bring some back with you?"

It's rare to come here, you must get enough of it, and the bag has to hit the limit.

Alpha shook his head with a serious expression at Akira's greed.

'No, I can't. That's the limit. Now it's a matter of keeping Akira's movements at the limit on the way back.

I'm going to take as much as I can, but we're going to try to be as cautious as possible, and if we encounter a monster on the way back, we'll have to run away.

If something is too tight or heavy, and if we are not careful, we will die quickly.

Even if you throw it away, it will be because it blocks the exit, but if it is light, you can avoid exerting stamina.

Let's not be greedy"

Akira also life is precious.

And I also want to follow Alpha's instructions as much as possible.

Although I felt regretful, I still nodded and let go of my nostalgia.

“...... I know. So, how much can I get for this?"

Then I don't understand it.

The amount of acquisition of cultural relics also needs to change. Here, not all of them are sold.

Keep the knife for yourself. Medical products are not the best to sell.

Minor injuries also lack treatment and will be used very much later, just in case. Here are my thoughts. 》

"So, is the sale of relics even more reduced?......

"The necessary equipment. Bear with me. ’

“...... I know. ”

As a result, the number of relics that can be sold has been reduced by 2.

Akira felt a little sorry for this, but thought that it would be a great achievement for her current self, so she changed her mind.

"Then let's go back. I think it's going to be hard to go back, but be careful. ”

"Ah, I know. ”

"The guarded area of those monsters passed through with heavier items this time.

If you are found to be slow to move because of your luggage, it may be difficult to do so this time. Do you really want to pay attention?"

Alpha said with a meaningful smile, and Akira's expression stiffened.

"Well, no problem. ”

"Let's go, then. ”

Akira nervously followed Alpha again.

Alpha smiled happily.

Akira managed to make it back beyond the ruins.

It's still wilderness, and it's a very dangerous place.

However, it is indeed very safe compared to the remains of those unseen patrolling monsters.

Although it is not yet possible to say that he has survived, he has unconsciously drawn boundaries and relaxed his vigilance.

Because of this, Akira remembered the exhaustion of her body and mind and sighed deeply.

Alpha said with a worried smile.

"If you are tired, take a rest for a while, and I will be on guard around you, and you can rest assured. ”

"Yes, although I would like to go back to the city early, it is better to take a break for safety. ”

"I see, let's talk about it during this time. ”

Although it is small talk, there is nothing to talk about for Akira, who survives alone in the alleys of the slums.

It's basically the form of alpha speaking and Akira echoing.

"The city of Kugama Hill was originally built to capture the remains of this ancient Kuzara street. ”

"Oh, yes, you know that in detail. ”

"I still have a lot of insight into that. The intelligence from the east is the mainstay, and the intelligence from the west and the center is very clean. ”

"O West...... I don't know, but I've heard of the Outer Demon Realm. ”

"I don't know very much, I know a little bit about science and technology, and magicians also have it, just a little bit about the story of magic. ”

"Isn't the central location a state? Are there many such organizations?"

'To give a general note, the entire territory of the country that is a member of the central government union, often referred to as the United Nations, is called the central region.

This is the name of the area covered by the country's ruling system.

The east side of the center is called the east. It can also refer to areas controlled by the Eastern Governance Consortium (commonly referred to as the "ASEAN Corporation").

The west side is the west side from the center part. There are no guns there, no magic, no other races such as elves, etc., these are rumors, but I wonder if it's true.

Curious, because this is a strange place, it seems that many people are aroused by curiosity and want to find out.

Is Akira interested in this kind of thing?"

"No, I'd like to know a little bit about the eastern region first. I can't even read words now. ”

"I see. In addition to reading and writing, general education in this area was to be included in Akira's training. Leave it to me. ”

"Yes, thank you. ”

"What's wrong?"

Akira thanked Alpha for his perfect promise, but was a little scared.

The price of free is expensive, because this way of thinking of him has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Alpha smiled softly at that Akira. Alpha's own goals are more important than anyone else's.

Back in the ancient Gamma Mountain city of Akira, head to the acquisition station operated by the Hunter's Office.

Such acquisition stations exist inside and outside the protective walls of the city. And depending on the location, the user is also very different.

The acquisition station within the partition wall has first-class hunters as its main customers. The relics that are brought in are also corresponding valuables, and sometimes companies will start a battle to increase the purchase price.

Akira went to the acquisition station in the lower division.

In addition, it is very close to the slums, and most of the users are novice hunters and slum residents, and the level of the shop as a purchase station is close to the lowest.

Therefore, it was originally a special acquisition station for relics, but not to mention cheap relics, there are not even the most ordinary relics.

Unconsciously, except in exceptional circumstances, these relics are largely cheap, but they have become a valuable source of income for slum dwellers.

As soon as Akira entered the acquisition station, she took the relics she wanted to sell out of the paper bag and placed them on the pallet for acquisition.

Then take the tray and wait in line at the window.

As recommended by Alpha, knives and medical supplies were not sold.

The clerk at the window was a middle-aged man named Nojima.

Nojima knew the children of the other slum from Akira's dress.

But after seeing the relics on the tray, he changed his way of coping.

He realized that these items were not items that could be picked up in the slums.

"If you have a hunter's license, you can take it out. ”

After Akira showed her hunter badge like a piece of paper, Nogema accepted the certificate and returned it along with the 3 coins after operating the terminal in her hand.

The tray is placed on a shelf behind Nogema along with the purchased items.

Akira looked at the three coins.

There are 3 100 Euroam coins for a total of 300 Euromes.

Oram is the corporate currency issued by Sakashita Heavy Industries.

Sakashita Heavy Industries is one of the five major enterprises that make up the United Enterprise Alliance, and Oram is mainly used under the rule of its publisher, Sakashita Heavy Industries, that is, in the economic circle with Sakashita Heavy Industries as the main axis.

The city of Kugama Hill is also a part of it.

The value of 300 euros varies from person to person.

If it were the average person in the lower division of the city of Kugama Hill, it was a cheap meal. For residents of the upstream area, this is a drop in the bucket.

Gambling the fruits of your life on a dangerous site.

He was attacked by a huge monster and almost died, but he barely survived thanks to the support of Alpha.

Money for relics taken back from places that would have never been reached.

That's all Akira gets now. Only 3 coins, 300 euros.

Akira looked up solemnly with an emotional expression that resembled dark anger.

At this point, Akira and Nojima, who had anticipated his reaction, met eye contact.

Before Akira wanted to say something she didn't even know, Nogema explained with a serious expression like a nail.

"You have a lot to say, but your hunter level 1, no credit, zero performance hunter, the initial purchase price is 300 euros.

The review of the acquired products will also end early tomorrow.

I will pay you 300 euros without even going to research what may be mysterious garbage, you should be glad to be.

At the time of the next acquisition when the examination is completed, we pay the remaining amount of money.

If the audit amount is less than 300 euros, ask them to make up for the shortcomings.

If you are confident that you can sell these items at a high price, you can buy them back.

If you want to sell something again, you can use your Hunter ID to verify your identity.

If you lose your hunter badge, you will get credibility and performance all over again. Have more questions?"

Akira listened to Nodima's explanation and understood his reasoning.

It has also been recognized to a certain extent.

But even so, Akira's expression was grim.

Because it is not fully understood.

But he also understands that protests are futile.

“...... Would you like to come back tomorrow?"

"Only if the audit is over. Expensive relics will be slower to review.

Even if the evaluation is over, it will not work if there is no next acquisition of the product.

Bring something well. The balance payment that was not settled last time will be handed over to me for the next purchase of products. ”

Nojima's attitude, though severe, contained a slight concern for Akira.

It's not unusual for a child like Akira to come to the Acquisition Station with a relic with the goal of becoming a hunter.

Nogema has seen many such children.

But the second time the acquirer is in the minority.

Did you give up the hunter's life, or did you die?

There were very few people who came to buy and sell things for the 10th time.

“...... The amount of money you got today is somewhat unreasonable, right? I don't know if you understand.

However, when you become a hunter, the irrationality starts at that time, and it will continue to do so in the future.

If you don't have this level of determination, forget it. I'm going to die!"

Akira replied with a serious expression.

"I hated my old life so much. The consciousness of risking your life in the slums. I've got to get up, absolutely. ”

Enlightenment, human beings with firm beliefs will be blessed with corresponding strength.

Then improve the likelihood of survival.

Nojima also felt the other party's determination at Akira's words, and smiled softly.

"Okay, be careful. ”

This guy might be fine

Nojima thought so, and his mood was slightly better.
