Chapter 87: Invitation to a Bounty Hunt

Akira decided to visit Sheryl, as he had pressing business with her. Kitted out as if heading to the wasteland, he left home and a short time later was parking his fully equipped truck in front of Sheryl’s base. Sheryl came out to greet him, and they entered the building together and headed directly to her room.

She offered him a seat on the sofa, and he obliged. Just as before, she subjected him to her cuddling. Akira gave a small sigh.

“Sheryl, let’s take care of business first. This can wait until afterward.”

“OK, fine.” Sheryl gave him a pout, but her face quickly brightened with anticipation for later on. “Afterward, right? That’s a promise!” She moved in front of Akira, facing him. “I assume this is about the relics we retrieved together?”

The spoils from the trip they’d taken together to the Yonozuka Station Ruins were still stored in Akira’s garage. Much had happened since then, but Akira had decided it was about time to finalize how they were going to divide up the loot.

“Right. I’ll cut to the chase: How much of it would you like? You ended up really going through the wringer because of me, so name an amount and I’ll consider it. As long as you don’t ask for everything.”

Had they managed to retrieve the relics without a hitch, he never would’ve made such an offer. But since Sheryl had been attacked by Guba, who’d been trying to obtain information on the ruins, and several of Sheryl’s gang members had even perished in the process, involving Sheryl with the newly discovered ruin had done her far more harm than good. If the events hadn’t had any connection to Akira (like fallout from a mere squabble in the slums), then the boy would’ve just said, “Sorry about your luck,” and left it at that; but none of this would’ve happened if Akira hadn’t invited Sheryl and her gang on the expedition in the first place. Even someone like Akira could more or less tell that by roping her into it, he’d caused her to suffer. So he wanted to make things right by showing that he was open to compromise.

But Sheryl just shook her head. “No, I’ve got nothing. I leave it up to your discretion. Even if you take it all for yourself, I don’t mind.”

Of course, Akira thought that would be too unfair in his favor, and he found himself doubting Sheryl’s words. He responded, a bit puzzled, “Huh? Isn’t that a little too irresponsible? What if I really said, ‘Okay, then I’ll be taking it all. None for you!’? What would you do then?”

Sheryl gave him the most sincere smile she could. “Well, in that case, I guess I’d be happy that I could pay back even a little of what my gang and I owe you for everything you’ve done. It wouldn’t be anywhere near enough to even that debt, though.”

The way Sheryl saw it, Akira had collected the lion’s share of the relics himself.
