ilding not too far from their location . Akira tilted his head and asked that guy .

“...Is that really far enough? If it’s only that far, people won’t pay for the pa- Ah, but I see there are quite a lot of vehicles parking there, huh?”

The parking lot was already filled with vehicles . Only about 40% of the parking lot was used, so there was still quite a lot of open space there . But compared to its size, that parking lot was already pretty filled .

That guy then answered Akira’s question .

“It has a roof and it’s not that expensive . You can find Hunters and staff in the Hunter Office nearby and some merchants are also using that place . Moreover, there are a lot of people around here, we’re technically still in the wasteland, you see . I know it’s rather concerning to say this myself, but there are people who are up for no good out here . But even so, I’m sure they know better not to try to steal the vehicles parked in the parking lot owned by the Hunter Office . Furthermore, there are guards and security cameras in the parking lot . Well, there are times when some stupid people tried to mess with the vehicles in the parking lot, but all of them ended up pretty tragically . So that’s basically why a lot of people decide to use the parking lot . If you want to use the parking lot too, the counter is over there . ”

That guy then pointed his finger toward a reception counter near the parking lot and went back to his station .

Akira thought for a bit and turned to Alpha .

“Let’s try using it once, I guess . ”

“Yep, let’s do that . The Hunter Office made that parking lot for the Hunters who come to this ruin, so let’s use it . ”

Akira headed to the reception counter, he then finished the administration work and parked his vehicle inside the parking lot . For the Hunters with a bank account, the parking fee was automatically debited from the bank account . It might be a means to avoid the Hunters postponing their parking fee payment .

The person at the counter warned Akira that even if he forgets to inform the Hunter Office before leaving the parking lot, the parking fare would still be automatically deducted from his bank account .

Akira unloaded his stuff from his vehicle, he also took his CWH anti-material rifle and DVTS minigun with him . After he finished his preparation to head out, he then went to the area near the Hunter Office just outside the parking lot .

There was an Exchange Centre in that area . Akira saw some Hunters exchanging their relics . Inside that Exchange Centre, he also saw some Hunters loading leftover wreckage of mechanical monsters onto a cart . It would be too much of a hassle bringing them all the way back to the Kugamayama city, but it would not be that much trouble to bring them to that Exchange Centre .

Even the mechanical monsters were also considered as the old-world relics . They were filled with old-world technologies that could not be reproduced by the current world’s technology . If the Hunter brought its leftover wreckage back, it might be worth more than bringing back cheap relics .

Around that place, there were also merchants with selling stands and rentable carts . Hunters would usually use those carts to transport dead mechanical monsters . They might be the merchants who came all the way to this place using the Hunter Office’s bus to open their shops there .

A Hunter Office’s bus arrived and stopped near the Hunter Office, Akira then saw Hunters boarding off from that bus . Including Akira, all Hunters in that place were focused on a group of 3 Hunters .

The reason as to why that group was gathering so much attention was because of their appearances . One of them was a young girl that looked more or less of the same age as Akira . She was wearing an augmented suit while carrying a big rucksack and multiple rifles . It was not a rare sight in the old-world ruin . Her silky and well-maintained hair was also something normal to be found for women Hunters who were doing well in her job . Although her beauty was above average, it was not enough of a reason to grab other Hunters’ attention .

The ones standing out were the other two girls . One of them was carrying a huge long sword aside from her rifle . While the other one was carrying a small pistol-like gun and a big power glove as if it was originally a part of a powered suit . There were not that many Hunters out there who prefered to fight monsters close range . That was why it was rare to find those types of weapons . Moreover, those two girls were beautiful and had some kind of unique charm of their own . It was to be expected for those weapons to attract some attention, but it was still not enough of a reason for them to attract that much attention there .

The real reason why those two attracted so much attention was because both of them were wearing maid outfits . And to top it off, from a glance, it seemed that those maid outfits were made of high-class fabric that gave off a luxurious vibe .

Those girls were really sticking out in that place . If it was back in the Kugamayama lower district, they would only gather some attention and that would be the end of it . But they were outside the city, they were in the wasteland . The Hunters in that place saw them with suspicion rather than pure curiosity since they seemed to be out of place .

That group of 3 were Reina and her battle maids .
