Rebuild World - Ch. 82

[JiYanran]

Exoskeleton 'Powered Silence' ruined by acid from digestive fluids.

Hmm, you guys know what that means right? A visit to Cartridge Freak and Shizuka worrying about us. And most importantly more of this:

 

[Junomano]

THAT'S MA BOY
remember Alpha is an ai, they can adapt to human behavior but they will still what they were programmed for ultimately, maybe she can stay as Akira's support forever once he's done doing what she needs him to do

 

[NotSomeone]

It's a bit weird that Alpha considered that Akira wasn't capable of surviving in that situation when all he did was just go wild and drive in the snake's stomach while shooting haphazardly. There was nothing that required skill; he had plenty of firepower which he didn't even focus and didn't need to since clearly shooting the snake from the inside was far more effective than from the outside. So the snake was actually dumb to swallow that. Maybe there's some explanation I'm missing?

I'm not sure how Kibayashi intruding in the pay negotiations with Drancam is a good idea. Akira's already got Elena and Sara trying to extract pay from Drancam by calling in the favour from Katsuya and Yumina to pay what they owe him, but now Kibayashi is going to come in the negotiation and also try to force Drancam to pay up by apparently using the information that the oversynthesised snake was not completely defeated. Drancam's not at fault there though, it's not like they actually noticed the other snake body retreating so there was no lie in their report, and it's the guild that confirmed the dead body and decided to pay up on the bounty. This is also a double slap to Katsuya because he'll learn his, already massive failure of an operation, never even successfully took down the bounty monster and that Akira cleaned up after him and that the favour he's trying to pay back is worthless to Akira since Akira is using other means of ensuring he gets paid by Drancam. Seems he's just antagonising the entire faction Mizuha is managing in Drancam. I mean, if Kibayashi sees that negotiations don't go Akira's way and decides to interfere then, I guess that'd be acceptable, but otherwise it seems unnecessary.

How is Kibayashi even going to keep everyone involved in retrieving this smaller oversynthesised snake quiet about it to avoid damaging Drancam's reputation? I guess there wasn't any bounty on the monster, but shouldn't the materials be worth something to the guild? I can't quite remember what the guild was paying for early on.

I thought for sure that Shikarabe also wouldn't be able to pay up properly (and I still have no clue why he included him in the extra bounty mission; sure he didn't do much there, but is he getting any pay from that) but he's making good use on Drancam's ability to get discounts through large orders so he's managing to make it worth Akira's while. He's really gotten lucky because he has no clue that his offer is exactly what Akira needs right now. If Akira still had his previous vehicle, would he have cared that much about getting a new one (though I guess that if he didn't total his equipment he could actually resell it and recoup his money)? I wonder how Akira is going to get his new vehicle; I'm guessing he might go pick it up at Drancam's headquarter and that might be fun depending on who he meets.

Either way, after these bounties, he's definitely going to be well known in Drancam.

I guess we should look forward to his new vehicle and equipment now.

I am pretty sure Alpha thought Akira would just despair and accept death, like he almost did. The part where Akira went "you know what? Fuck this shit I am ripping this fuckass snake wide open" was outside the calculations.
So she thought he would die not because killing the snake from the inside is hard, but because she thought he was too reliant on her support to do it.

Thanks for TL

 

[timcal2136]

alpha is cute in this chapter but smh i dont have a single feeling for her...

It feels like every other chapter, she’s thinking about offing this poor boy just for being too capable in combat 😭

 

[GodKing46]

Thanks for the chapters!

 

[Phaaze]

I forgot, but what purpose are the two Alphas 'grooming' Akira and Katsuya for?
I think I recall some very dangerous place they want to guide the boys to, once they're strong enough, but I can't remember what for. There was another before them, but he betrayed Alpha - fate unknown.

 

[Flashplayer0CD]

i really hope he has the ultimate crash out when he finds out she's been trying to use him and not some typical Japanese horny author simping

 

[Flyingpantsu]

I like how Alpha is both the heroine and the villain in the story.

He probably won't. He knows they are mutually using each other as she stated it was a contract when they first partnered up

 

[Dipuc4Life]

I told y'all that INDIGESTION IS A MOTHERFUCKER ... the snake found that out 'The HARD way' LOL. But now for some cuddles from some cuties (only real life ALLOWED, NO AI needed) for surviving homie. I'm looking forward to it ... Akira should TOO.

That's just your usual narouslop logic: protagonist does something perfectly reasonable or called upon by the circumstances within their POV, then everyone around him is amazed at the success of his genius/crazy idea. We see other examples of this much earlier in the story like his insistence on having AT-capable gun results in him cleaning house in the tunnels and again vs the relic smugglers.

Where is Sherry
That's why I follow this

 

[mrboxeater]

did she lose total connection? are they going to discuss what happened?

 

[kraize]

Still would love to know from LN how the Alpha situation fares if Akira even suspects her yet or whatever her goal is, it still seems hidden but looking forward to it.

 

[Nolzi]

Where can I get my own virtual big-boobed waifu?
I wish I had schizophrenia too

Go out in the ghetto and fight with animalistic trash piles, I’m sure your AR waifu will show up

 

[tonie]

I wish he went to sleep in Sheryl's bed, but at least he's back home for a while... right? Not like he's gonna step outside and have a ride on 4th bounty target for another 12 chapters, right????

For those who could use help reading between the lines, Kibayashi is going to call the Drankam leaders and say 'You committed fraud, Akira killed the real bounty monster. If you pay up, Akira will generously offer to keep quiet about this and let you keep the credit for the bounty hunt.' It's just like the burglars in the under city again.

Thanks for the scanlation!

Not quite. It's definitely not fraud. The bounty was for the large snake, and that was completed. Note that Kibyayashi specifically says that the small(er) snake does not have a bounty on it.

However, there's also reputation, which is important to Drancam. So, Kibayahi's play can be... "Sure you killed the bounty target, but you also let this get away, and this kid over here solo'ed it." OR... we could bury that little factoid if you play nice in some other ways.

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

Thanks for the chapter 🙏🏼❤️

Mangaka sucks at expressions, though TBF this one is a bit hard... LN Akira is half desperation and half determination when he guts up to fight his way out.

Manga just has Akira shooting crazily. LN Akira gives him a little more strategy than that. Using meds wisely, setting the truck to accelerate so that he doesn't get stuck in one place. As for Alpha's mis-calculation... she may have underestimated his ability/determination to act independently of her.
