200 偶然と推察とその結果
アキラが家の風呂に入って本日の疲れを取っている。
「......今日もいろいろあったな。あれだけ苦労したんだ。収支は
「そこは大丈夫だって言ってくれよ」
『レイナ達の行動の保証まで私に求められても困るわ。それに、破壊した自動人形も含めて、手に入れた遺物の売却をレイナ達に任せたのはアキラでしょう? その辺を面倒臭がったのだから仕方ないわ』
「いや、壊れた自動人形をカツラギの所に持って行くわけにもいかないだろう。
「大丈夫。大丈夫だ。シオリも何かあったら立て替えるとか言ってたんだ。つまり高値で売れると思っていたはずだ。赤字にはならない。大丈夫だ」
『まあ、最悪の場合は、新調した装備でレイナ達に文句を言いに行きましょう』
「そうだな。......装備か」
一度は気を切り替えたアキラが再び微妙な表情を浮かべる。
『どうかしたの?』
「......いや、何でもない」
また装備をいろいろ失ったアキラは、先に手持ちの予算で買える分だけシズカの店で装備調達することにした。まずは銃を優先して、改造部品組み込み済みのSSB複合銃を新たに3
もう壊したのか。それぐらいは言われるだろうと思っていたのだが、全く触れずに別の軽い雑談を振ってきたシズカに、アキラは妙な緊張感を覚えていた。
「......何も言われなかったんだ。あれは大丈夫だったはずだ。うん」
『店の主商品の価格帯から外れている苦労して仕入れた高額商品を次々に壊して、平然と新たな注文を入れてくるハンターに対して湧き上がった、商売人として、売上げが上がるのだから、という理由では補いきれない微妙な感情をシズカが覚えたかどうかは分からないわね』
「分からないなら不安を
「......そういえば、あの白いカードって結局何だったんだろうな?」
『あれは営業用の認証カードのようなものよ。オリビアと名乗った自動人形へ連絡を取るための物理認証キーでもあるわ。旧領域接続者なら直接、そうではない者でも旧領域接続装置を使用すれば、あの自動人形と直接連絡が取れるようになるわ。多分営業目的で残していったのでしょうね』
アキラが思わずアルファを見る。
「アルファ。あれが何か知ってたのか?」
「......何であの時に教えてくれなかったんだ?」
『アキラは知らない振りなんてできないでしょう?』
アルファは当然のことのように笑っていた。確かに、と思いながらもアキラは釈然としないものを覚えた。
く価値があるものだったりするのか?」
『旧世界の存在に比較的友好的な状態で連絡が取れることに対してどの程度の価値を見
「相当な価値がある気がする。......大した価値はないと思ってあげちゃったけど、失敗だったか?」
『逆よ。あれは速やかに手放して正解よ。あのカードを活用する
「......無理だと思う」
リオンズテイル社の名前を聞いた時点で動揺してしまい、それをシオリに気付かれたのだ。その価値を理解した上で、カードに固執せずにあっさりと渡せる自信はなかった。
旧領域接続者だと疑われただけでハンターオフィスに監禁される可能性があるのだ。アキラが本当に旧領域接続者である以上、それが全く関連のない情報からの疑いであっても、絶対に捕まる訳にはいかない。アキラはカードに対する未練をきっぱりと断ち切った。
『そもそもアキラはコロンなんて持っていないのだから、オリビアを雇って協力を得るのは初めから無理よ。それが可能なのは最低でもコロンを支払える企業とか、富豪とか、そういう存在になるわ』
も。雲の上の話だな。初めから縁がなかった訳か。......うん? でも何となくだけど、シオリはカードの価値をある程度知っていそうな雰囲気だったな。そういう伝があるのか?」
『まあ、メイド服を着て、レイナのことをお嬢様と呼んでいるのだから、多少の伝は持っているのかもね。カードの価値に対しても、
かりながら少しレイナ達の素性を想像してみた。しかしこれといったものは思い付かず、その疑問もやがて湯に溶けていった。
翌日。クガマヤマ都市の下位区画にあるハンター向け高級ホテルの一室に、トガミ、シカラベ、レイナ、シオリの4人が集まっていた。
トガミが100万オーラムの札束をシカラベの前に置く。シカラベがそれを懐に
「3000万オーラム。受け取らせたぞ」
「トガミ。今の、何だったの?」
「何でもない。気にするな」
シカラベが気を取りなして表情を真面目なものに戻す。
「トガミ。お前の訓練も今日で終わりだ。今からこの場で始める」
「今から? いや、ここには昨日の稼ぎの分配や遺物の売却手段とかの検討で集まったんだろう?」
「それが最後の訓練だ。ハンター稼業の締めである成果の分配交渉を問題なく終わらせる交渉能力もハンターの重要な技量だ。半分実地でな。トガミ。今回お前はアキラの手を借りた。格上の、付き合いの浅いハンターの助けを、事前の報酬分配の取決めも不十分なままに求めたんだ。命を賭けて手に入れた成果を、
むシカラベに続いて、シオリが真剣な表情で続ける。
「お嬢様。これはお嬢様の訓練でもあります。私とシカラベ様はアキラ様の
「ハンターオフィスを介して仲介を頼む手もあるが、当然費用が掛かる。相手の恨みも消えるわけじゃない。最善手ではない。だが必要な場合もある」
「その仲介も無駄になる可能性も十分考えてください。それは安全を保証するものではありません。くれぐれも御注意ください」
「では、始めよう」
「始めましょう」
シカラベとシオリはやる気十分の気迫を出している。トガミとレイナは引き
成果を分配し終えてハンター稼業一区切り。トガミとレイナはその最後の工程を自力で頑張った。そしてハンターが交渉役を雇う理由やドランカムの存在意義をよく理解した。
ドランカムの当初の設立理由はハンター達が負傷等で引退した仲間の仕事を確保する
クガマヤマ都市の防壁内にある都市経営の本社ビル。その大会議室に経営に関わる幹部達が集まっていた。
その会議の場で、ヤナギサワが非常に不機嫌な顔を浮かべていた。
「後方連絡線の延長を中止するとは、どういう意味だ?」
ヤナギサワの機嫌は悪化し続けている。ヤナギサワより上位の地位にいる者も含めて、自身の地位と引換えに差し違えてでも止めようとする者はいなかった。
「落ち着いてくれ。この短期間に2度も襲撃を受けたのだ。顧客の不安も分かるだろう」
1度目はヤナギサワの仕業であり、この場にはそれを知っている者もいる。ヤナギサワが僅かに気勢を落とす。
「......クズスハラ街遺跡奥部への道を通し、高価な遺物を入手しやすい環境を整え、都市経済の再活性を促す。後方連絡線の整備はそのためのものだ。防壁内の臆病者の
ヤナギサワはすぐには答えなかった。部屋の中を緊迫感のある沈黙が流れていく。
「......後方連絡線の延長を中断したからと言って、予算の削減は受け入れない。その分の予算は全て配備する新型機に回してもらう」
「その機体を奥部の遺跡探索にも使用してよいのであれば、許可しよう」
ヤナギサワの表情が非常に物騒なものから普段の笑みに戻る。口調も普段のどこか軽薄なものに変わる。
「次の議題だが、探索区域評価に関する不正が指摘されている。この件の進行は指摘者が進める」
今まで進行役を務めていた男がそう言うと、ウダジマという男が立ち上がり、イナベに視線を向けて笑った。
「ウダジマです。皆様御存じの通り、クズスハラ街遺跡の奥部では担当者ごとに区域が割り当てられています。そして各自で区域の調査を実施し、発見された遺物の価値などから更なる調査の優先順位等、まあ予算などですね、それらが決定されます」
ウダジマは説明をそこで一度止めると、意味ありげにイナベを見続けた。イナベが不機嫌そうに続きを促す。
「皆暇ではない。下らない間を置くのは止めてほしいのだがね」
「では、続けよう。イナベ。お前が担当する区域から旧世界製の情報端末が発見されたと報告に上がっているが、事実か?」
「ふざけるな! あれは都市の鑑定課を通した正式な報告書だぞ! 私がその報告書を改竄したとでも言うのか!? あれは間違いなく旧世界製の情報端末だ! 言いがかりだ!」
「あれが旧世界製の情報端末であることは否定しない」
「ならば何の問題がある?」
「問題は、発見場所だ。......他の遺跡で発見された遺物を、お前の担当区画に運び込んだ可能性がある! お前の担当区画の価値を引き上げるためにな!」
イナベが僅かに焦りを見せた。だがすぐにそれを振り払うように声を荒らげる。
「い、言いがかりだ! 何の証拠がある!」
イナベは勝ち誇った笑みを浮かべるウダジマを見て不安を募らせながらも、虚勢の表情を浮かべ続けた。
(隠蔽は完璧だ! 露見するはずがない! ......いや、まさか、あの女が!?)
ヴィオラがあの遺物を自分に渡したのは、全てこの
ウダジマが想定通りだと言わんばかりに笑う。
「お互いの情報を提示しても、どちらが正しいかなどすぐには分からない。証拠不十分で終わる可能性もある。だから、確実な情報を提示しようじゃないか。お前が鑑定課に出した旧世界製の情報端末だがな。全部統企連の総合遺物鑑定局に出所判明の調査依頼を出した! そしてその結果をこの場で報告してもらえるように頼んだんだよ!」
イナベが凍り付く。そして動揺で僅かに震えた声を出す。
「高額な調査料を取られたがな。お前だって知っているだろうが、統企連の総合遺物鑑定局なら、多少のずれはあろうとも、クズスハラ街遺跡の奥部で発見された遺物かどうかぐらいは確実に分かる。では、報告をお願いしよう」
イナベの虚勢が崩れようとしている。ウダジマがその様子を見ながら勝ち誇った顔で手元を操作すると、部屋の中央に男の映像が表示された。
「統企連総合遺物鑑定局の者です。細かい調査結果は後ほど送付しますが、調査結果の口頭での説明を御希望とのことでしたので、手短にお答えします。我々は十分な調査を行いました。その結果、指定された遺物が該当の場所周辺で発見される可能性は......」
「特に質問がなければこれで打ち切らせていただきます。何か御座いますか?」
我に返ったウダジマが思わず叫ぶ。
「統企連総合遺物鑑定局が正しく調査した結果になります。詳細は送付する資料で御確認ください。納得いただけない結果であっても、料金の返還は行いません。御了承を。他には何か? ......では、失礼いたします」
「何を言っているんだ? 言いがかりはよしてくれ」
「自分を陥れる計画が準備万端だと聞かされれば、誰だって動揺ぐらいする。まあ、邪推した挙げ句に自爆しただけだったようだがな」
イナベとウダジマの立ち位置は逆転していた。イナベは勝ち誇ったように笑い、ウダジマは
く邪推する者もいるようです。一層の注意を払いましょう」
イナベが余裕の表情で着席した。
「ウダジマ。この疑惑は晴れたものとする。今後、余計な追及は慎むように」
「では、次の議題に移る。遺跡の管理者を名乗る者と取引をしたという者が発見されたことについて、ヤナギサワから説明が......」
2人の男の進退などどうでも良いように、会議はそのまま続けられていった。
り笑い、落ち着きを取り戻した状態で、イナベは総合遺物鑑定局の調査資料を見ながら事態の整理を考え始めた。
(それにしても、あの遺物の出所が本当に俺の担当区域だったとはな。驚きだ。......正確には担当区域の端、未調査部分だが。ウダジマのやつ、遺物の出所がクズスハラ街遺跡でなければそれで十分だと考えて出所判定の範囲をかなり広げたのか)
冷静になったイナベが、自分が抱えている情報を紐付けていく。
(あのハンター。アキラとか言ったな。確か、ハンターランク調整依頼を強制的に引き受けさせられるほどの隠れた
イナベはそこでアキラに関することを思い出して情報端末を操作する。
(このハンター、俺があの区域の調査をした時に、人型モンスターに最優先で襲われていたらしい。もしそれが、このハンターが未調査区域で遺物を収集した時に遺跡のシステムに顔が割れた所為だったとしたら。遺跡にとって
イナベの頭にヤナギサワが配備を求めた人型兵器が浮かぶ。
(あの機体。随分と高性能らしい。ビル並みに大型のモンスターを近接装備だけで倒したとか。そして遺跡の調査に使用しても良いことになっている。......未調査区域のモンスターが幾ら強力でも、あれを十数機
Ch 200
Akira was dipping himself inside the hot bath in his house to melt the exhaustion that had accumulated that day.
"...Today was too tiring, so many things happened. I hope that we still manage to get some money from it... it'll be fine, right?"
"Just say yes, will you?"
"It's not like I can guarantee what Reina and Togami would do. In the first place, you're the one who left the relics and the broken automata with Reina and Togami to sell them. It's indeed a troublesome subject, so it can't be helped."
"Well, it's not like I can bring the broken automata to Katsuragi, I feel like Katsuragi won't buy them after all. So I thought leaving that to Reina, who seems to have connections, will be able to sell them at a much better price."
"It's alright, it'll be fine. Shiori also said that she'll take responsibility if it doesn't work out. So I'm sure she also believes today's loot can sell for quite a lot of money. It should be alright."
"Well, in the worst-case scenario, we can go to give our complaint to them after you get your new equipment."
"That's a good idea... Equipment, huh."
Although Akira seemed to have moved on once before from that subject, he once again made a difficult face.
"What's wrong?"
"...No, it's nothing."
After Akira again lost most of his equipment, he went to Shizuka to get new equipment with the current money that he had. First of all, he prioritized rifles and put in an order for 3 fully modified SSB rifles. Shizuka's expression when he placed that order left an impression in his mind.
Akira thought that Shizuka would at least say something about him already breaking his rifles in such a short time, but she instead continued talking without even touching on that subject. He felt something was not right about it.
"...Shizuka-san did not say anything, so it should be alright, yep."
"Let's just hope that it's not a smile of exasperation since she had worked so hard to get the equipment that was originally already outside the range of the shop's products but you keep breaking them in no time and you don't show any remorse at all when you place an order for replacements. But as a weapon merchant, she doesn't have a good reason to stop you since it contributes well to the shop's revenue."
"If you don't know for sure, then stop scaring me!"
"...By the way, about that white card though, what exactly was it?"
"That is a business card. You can use that card to contact that Olivia automaton. If you're someone who can connect to the old-world domain, you can use it to directly get in contact with Olivia, and if you can't do that, you can use an old-world communication device instead. I bet it left that to you hoping that you would hire it."
Akira immediately turned to Alpha.
"Alpha, you knew all of that?"
"...Why didn't you tell me back then?"
"Can you keep that a secret?"
Alpha smiled as usual. Although Akira understood that she had a good point there and agreed with her, he was not exactly happy to admit it.
"Was that thing actually a very expensive object?"
"That depends on how much price you would place on a method to contact the old-world's side in a friendly manner."
"In that case, that should be a pretty pricy thing... and I ended up giving it away thinking that it wasn't worth that much. I guess that was a big blunder, huh?"
"It's the opposite. You did great getting that object away from you as fast as possible. In order to be able to use that card, you at least need to have the knowledge on how to connect to the old-world domain. If you try to keep it for yourself, in the worst-case scenario, others might get suspicious thinking that you might know. That's why I didn't tell you back there. Like I said before, I don't think you can keep it a secret, right?"
"...Yeah, I don't think I can."
Shiori obviously noticed when he had a small reaction the moment she mentioned the name 'Lion Steel'. If he had known just how valuable that card was, Akira did not think that he would be able to let that card go.
Having suspicion of being someone who could connect to the old-world domain was enough for the Hunter Office to dispatch a capture warrant. Since Akira was really someone who could connect to the old-world domain, even if that suspicion came from something completely unrelated, he could not afford to get captured by them no matter what. With this, any regrets that he had regarding that card was completely gone.
"In the first place, you don't have any chrome with you anyway, so it's not like you can hire Olivia. The only people who could do that are the super-rich or huge corporations who have chrome."
"Exactly. That's just way out of my reach. I guess this means I have no connection with them right from the start, huh... Wait, this is just my guess, but it felt like Shiori knew about that card though. I wonder if she has any connections with that world."
"Well, she's exploring ruins in a maid uniform and she calls Reina, Milady, it won't be strange if she does have some connections with that world. She might know just how valuable that card is, and just maybe, she might even be actively involved in that world."
Akira thought about Reina's team and its background while enjoying the warm bath. But since he could not come up with any good answer, that question eventually melted into the warm water too.
On the next day. Inside a high-class hotel in the lower district of Kugamayama city, Togami, Shikarabe, Reina and Shiori gathered inside one of the rooms.
Togami placed 1 million Aurum in front of Shikarabe. Shikarabe took it and put it inside his chest pocket. Seeing that, Togami smiled happily and pridefully.
"There, I finally made you take all the 30 million Aurum."
"Togami, what is it?"
"It's nothing."
After that, Shikarabe's expression turned serious as he said.
"Togami, today will be your last training, let's start now."
"Now? Aren't we here to talk about what to do with the relics that we gathered yesterday and how to divide the money from that?"
"That's exactly your last training. Being able to divide the money at the end of a ruin exploration without any problem at all is one of the important skills for a Hunter. And you need to learn half of that from real experience. Togami, this time, you asked for Akira's help. You asked for help from a Hunter who is better than you although you don't know him well. On top of that, you didn't make an agreement on how to divide the loot upfront. So don't expect him to give away the loot that you have risked your life for free out of kindness, as a matter of fact, I bet he would come at you without holding back."
As if to continue Shikarabe's warning, Shiori then said with a serious face.
"Milady, this is also training for Milady. Shikarabe-sama and I will come at both of you as if we're Akira-sama trying to take all the loot. Togami-sama and Milady should work together to prevent it."
"There's also an option of asking for the Hunter Office's help. But of course, that won't be free and it's not like it would convince him, I bet he would still have some grudge left if you do that. Although it's not a good choice, sometimes, you have no other option but to do it."
"Do remember that it might not even be needed at all in the first place. It's not a method to guarantee your safety. So please be careful."
"Now then, let's start."
"We shall start now."
Shikarabe and Shiori seemed to be serious, Togami and Reina looked at each other with worried smiles.
Dividing the loot was the last step before a team of Hunters finally disbanded. Togami and Reina did their best to face that final step with their own abilities. It made them understand why Hunters would hire negotiators and how much Drankam had been helping them in that regard.
The real reason why Drankam was formed in the first place was simply for the sake of helping injured and retired Hunters. After all, even a careful Hunter would be able to rely on things that needed trust if it was between Hunters that he or she knew very well. Although it was significantly changed since its founding, that part of the organization stayed the same.
In the headquarters of a certain company inside the inner wall, the officers from the upper echelon of that company gathered in a huge meeting room.
Inside that meeting room, Yanagisawa did not look happy at all as he said.
"What do you mean you're going to stop extending the supply route?!"
Yanagisawa's mood worsened even more. There was no one present to stop him, even among those who were above him position-wise, no one was willing to become the martyr to overrule his opinion.
"Calm down. We were attacked twice in such a short span of time. It is not strange that our sponsors got worried."
Among those present, few people knew that the first swarm was because of Yanagisawa's doing. So Yanagisawa lowered his shoulders.
"...The reason why we're expanding the supply route is to create a secured route through the ruin. So that we can excavate the expensive relics more easily. Rather than the voice of those cowards cowering within the inner wall, isn't it more important to prioritize our original goal?"
Yanagisawa did not give an immediate reply. The silence in the room continued.
"...Just because we stop expanding the supply route, I won't accept any budget cut. And I'll have the original budget for the new equipment."
"If it's fine to use the new equipment for exploring the inner part of the ruin too, then I shall allow it."
Yanagisawa's tense expression finally relaxed. His voice also turned back to its usual flippant tone.
"For the next subject, we've received a report regarding the difference between the real worth of land and those reported on paper. We'll start with the person who brought this up."
As the person who had been working as the leader of that meeting said so, Udajima stood up and smiled at Inabe.
"I'm Udajima. As everyone knows well, the inner part of the Kuzusuhara ruin is divided into smaller sections and each section is assigned to a different administrator. Each administrator will survey the section that they're assigned to and the result from that survey, which includes the type of relics that you can find there, will decide on the priority for a further survey and the budget for the same."
Udajima took a short pause and glanced at Inabe. Inabe curled his lips in reply.
"Everyone here is busy, just cut the chase and get to it."
"Very well then. Inabe, it seems that the report from your place says that you've found an old-world terminal in the area that you're responsible for, is that true?"
"Are you kidding me!? That report has even gone through a formal appraiser from Kugamayama city, you know!! Are you seriously saying that I'm faking that report!? Those relics are really old-world terminals! This is a slander!!"
"I'm not saying that they are not old-world terminals."
"So what's your problem then?"
"The problem is where you found them... There's a good chance you got them from another place outside your section!! And you brought them there in order to increase the value of your section!!"
Inabe showed a slight panic. But in order to hide it, he immediately raised his voice.
"That's a baseless accusation!! Where's the evidence!?"
Seeing how Udajima was smiling as if he had already won, Inabe felt unease. But even so, he retained anger on his face.
[The operation should have been perfect! There's no way he can see through that...! Wait, don't tell me... Is it that girl!?]
Inabe started to doubt Viola's intention in having given him those relics. In short, it was nothing more than a strategy to trap him. But Inabe made sure not to show that on his face. He told himself that since those relics were really old-world terminals, he should be able to win the argument as he slowly got rid of panic from his face.
But Udajima then smiled as if he knew that would happen.
"Even if both of us present our data here, it would be difficult to judge which one is correct. There's also a good chance that we both don't have enough evidence to support our respective claims. That's why let's focus on what we know for sure. Although the results from the appraisal say that all of those relics are really old-world terminals, I went ahead and submitted a request to the appraisal companies union to check the origin of all those relics!! And, I've asked to put the result from that request here and now!!"
Inabe froze, he then said with a shaking voice.
"Yeah, it wasn't cheap at all. I know you know that too. But if it's the appraisal companies union, although there might be some discrepancies, they should be able to pinpoint and track relics found in the Kuzusuhara ruin. Well then, let's put up the result now."
Seeing how Inabe's bluff was crumbling down, Udajima smiled triumphantly as he operated the terminal. Then, a picture of a man was displayed in the middle of that room.
"Good afternoon, I am from the appraisal companies union. We will send a full report later, but since we were requested to give a direct report, we'll keep this short. After our investigation, the relics in question..."
"If there's no other question, we shall take our excuse here."
Udajima finally returned back to reality as he immediately shouted.
"It's the real result from an investigation done by the union. Please check the report for further detail. The billed fee will not be reimbursed even if you find the result unsatisfactory. So please keep that in mind. Are there any other questions? ...Very well, please excuse me then."
"What are you even talking about? That's obviously not true, just cut it out already."
"Anyone would panic when they find out someone is trying to frame them. Well, although, it seems that you've blown yourself up this time."
Inabe and Udajima's positions were reversed. Inabe was smiling triumphantly while Udajima was badly flustered. It showed who had won and who had lost the argument.
"I don't remember ever doing anything suspicious though. But it seems that some people just can't leave me alone, huh. I'll be more careful next time."
Inabe calmly sat back on his seat.
"Udajima, this should clear up your suspicions. Keep in mind not to do something like this again."
"Well then, let's move to the next subject. It seems that there's a report saying someone has claimed to have gotten in contact with the ruin's manager. Yanagisawa will give the detail..."
The meeting continued just like that as if they were ignoring what just happened between Udajima and Inabe.
After he laughed in relief and regained his calm, he looked at the report from the appraisal companies union and started thinking about what to do next.
[But still, to think that they actually came from my area. I didn't expect it at all... To be honest, it's only near the borders of my area that we haven't explored. But that Udajima, I bet he thought that it was fine as long as it was outside the Kuzusuhara ruin and set the investigation area range a bit too big.]
Now that Inabe had regained his calm, he started to string together the information that he currently had.
[That Hunter... Akira, was it again? If I'm not mistaken, he's strong enough to even make the City Management force him to take a Rank-up request. It won't be strange for someone as strong as him to return back from unexplored ruins in the future. And if he had found a secret passage to an unexplored warehouse, it wouldn't be strange that he would be hiding that too. After all, if the location of that hidden passage leaked and Hunters start to flood the area, there's a good chance someone would find that hidden passage too.]
Inabe then remembered something about Akira and opened his information terminal.
[If I'm not mistaken, during that ruin exploration in my area, it seemed that the humanoid monsters focused on this Hunter. If this was because his face got recorded by the ruin's security system the moment he took those relics from that undiscovered location and if this is the reason why he was treated differently compared to the other Hunters whom the ruin management only views as suspicious armed individuals, then it would mean the location where he found those relics should be somewhere nearby. The union also said there's a good chance those relics really came from this area according to their investigation. Although, since Udajima did not pay the full fee, the method that the union used to confirm it was not written in the report and I have no idea how the union did that. But that doesn't matter, the most important thing is the result, not the method.]
Inabe then remembered the powered suit that Yanagisawa requested.
[If I remember correctly, that powered suit is pretty strong. I heard that it was able to kill a building-sized monster with a melee weapon. And now it's approved for ruin exploration too... It doesn't matter how dangerous that unexplored place is, it should be alright if I bring a couple of that powered suit with me. After all, I need to find relics in my area, and if that unexplored place still has a lot of relics... Then, if I can get Akira involved too... And those people from Drankam too... I should have enough manpower to explore it...]
