Chapter 169: A Luxurious Bath

Until he could procure new equipment, Akira decided to once again put hunter work on hold. He had yet to order any of it—or even to decide on what he wanted, for that matter. He was still stuck at the stage of having Shizuka, Elena, and Sara help him explore his options, so it would still be quite some time before he was kitted out once more. Still, he wasn’t about to just blow 1.8 billion without carefully considering and researching his options first. The more expensive a product was, the more important it was to look into it to avoid buyer’s remorse.

However, he wasn’t in a time crunch, so there was no need to rush. If Kibayashi’s negotiations went well, he’d be able to buy anti-force rounds at an extreme discount, so in that sense, it was even better for him to wait.

With that in mind, he decided to take things easy for the time being.

During this period, he stopped by Sheryl’s base one day to make an appearance. Unlike in the past, he didn’t head up to Sheryl’s room but rather sat in a chair on a floor of her base that had been repurposed into a break area of sorts. This was typically where the members of her gang and the employees of her shop came to take a breather—but at the moment, Akira was the only one here. Not that the others were barred from entry—everyone who came here to relax took one look at the destructive land mine sitting in the corner of the room and fled.

But Akira hadn’t come here specifically to disrupt the others on their break. Sheryl had asked him to place himself in a relatively conspicuous area, so that those inside and outside the gang alike could see that her patron was still alive and well. Relic hunting was a dangerous profession, in which one could kick the bucket at any time; so if a hunter didn’t show himself for quite a while, many would naturally assume that they’d perished out in the wasteland. In other words, it was important for Sheryl to show Akira off from time to time to let everyone know he was alive.

Sheryl would forgive the grunts and newbies in her gang for distancing themselves from Akira when he was near. But she would not tolerate that kind of behavior from her officers. She’d forced them all to greet Akira whenever they saw him. And if Akira ever spoke to them, even if he was just making obligatory small talk or asking about the status of the gang or the relic shop, they were required to respond. Thanks to their own respective experiences with the boy, her current officers—Erio, Aricia, Nasya, and Lucia—spoke to Akira with the same level of caution one might use when traversing a minefield. The other children in the gang saw this, reaffirmed in their minds that Sheryl’s officers were made of tougher stuff, and found their respect for said officers rising even higher.
