Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara, Gendai Heiki de Guntai Harem o Tsukucchaimashita!?
Episode 64: Little Demon Stone
I left the mining city of Vesta before noon the next day.
Physically, it's around ten o'clock.
The roads on this side are deforested and some mountain skins are exposed.
I'm guessing they're cutting it down and using it as fuel and materials.
But after a day, it turns into another path through the woods.
We were at the rearmost end of the merchant corps, on perimeter alert.
You're lucky, a peaceful journey continues without encountering demons.
The problem arose two days after I left the mining city, in the camp I reached.
When we arrived, two or three carriages had been tragically destroyed.
Get off the carriage and check for misery.
"Dude, is there a guy like that twin mage on this side too?
"Maybe it's the work of demons, not people. Look, there's bite marks. It's probably been over a day."
Shea makes a guess from the damage to the carriage, the condition.
"Hey, Omae and the others, we're going to go exorcise the demon that caused the damage now because he's still nearby. Don't let the Omaes get their hands on you."
Simil brings his people and makes a declaration.
"We've got Level II guys. We should be able to defeat Level III at our leisure."
Apparently, they think we can do it ourselves because we beat the twin magicians and the Great Ghosts too lightly.
Plus, I'm blinded by the prize money.
"Let me tell you something, there are mages A minus and B plus over here. That's why I was able to defeat the Twin Mages and the Great Ghosts. I'd rather not be unscrupulous with three people without magicians."
"Ugh! Shut up! Don't try to steal your prey! Shut the fuck up and wait here."
And Simil and the others disappear into the woods in search of the demons that created the tragedy.
"Lute, what do we do?
Looking back, there are some rubber goats looking at this one anxiously.
In the meantime, now that Simil and the others are gone, we'll make sure they're safe.
"No camp preparation until they come back. Be prepared to travel at any time. Snow and Chris are guarded on Mr. Rumgo's side. Me and Shea will be on perimeter alert and see if there are any survivors."
Snow and the others respond to the instructions and arrive at their respective roles.
Worst case scenario, if they don't come back until the next morning, I might reveal it here overnight. Perhaps we should consult the rotation so that we can turn the night shift by ourselves now.
I decide to discuss it with one person in my chest, even if it's time for dinner.
Me and Shea go around with AK47 & full gear to see if there are any harmful things around, survivors.
We circled the woods near the square, but there was nothing to be particularly vigilant about.
No traces or traces of the survivors.
Return to the square and raise your hand to Snow & Chris, signaling that there was no problem.
To the rubber goats who are still looking to worry, their complexion just got a little easier when they were telling 'they didn't seem to be in danger around'.
Next, Me and Shea will see what's going on with the vandalized carriage.
The carriage is wooden and very common.
The axle is broken and the wheels are broken in two.
It would be impossible to repair it from an amateur's point of view.
Looks like the package I was loading is safe.
The contents appear to be raw materials bought in mining cities.
Whether it's iron ore, precious metal, or something else, I don't know at a glance.
…………
Shea takes a serious look at the wreckage of the destroyed carriage with a harsh look on her face.
He had one knee on the ground and layered some of it like a jigsaw puzzle for his hand.
"... young lady, look at this"
"Which one?"
I peek in line next to her when I'm told.
It's part of the carriage that I've been mocking since before.
"Here, but you know there are sharp marks?
Observe one part of the carriage when told.
Indeed, as Shea pointed out, there are marks like being bitten by a beast with sharp fangs.
"There is. What's wrong with that?
"Young lady, look closely. This is part of the same carriage, but the bite marks are too close. This would have bit me once and bit me next door again. Why do you think I would do that on purpose?
"That's what the demons did. I just don't get it."
"And these burn marks... if my guess was on it, it would taste so bad."
"Does the unsavory mean it might be the dragon that created this misery?
There are indeed bite marks and some burnt marks.
I was wondering if I had been attacked by the Great Ghost (Auga) and other demons in a group. Burning marks were also thought to be burning objects such as lamps on the attacked side.
"Are you kidding me, Red Dragon or something?
A red dragon is a typical demon that generates wings, flies through the sky, and exhales the breath of flames, generally referring to dragons.
The Red Dragon hits the city, the country, etc., with one or two off the pole occasionally.
Whether or not you can defeat this Red Dragon is added to the condition of whether you can create an Legion.
There are also top species of red dragons on demonic and other continents.
"No, more than I expected -!?"
It's not just me and Shea.
Everyone on the spot shrugged.
A distant roar.
That was because it was the voice of the absolute strong.
The direction you hear is consistent with where Simil and the others are headed.
The sound of the trees falling, sounding as they stood for a while.
Unconsciously, I sweat cold and swallow my saliva.
Disarm the AK47 safety device.
to Full Automatic.
I was pulling the cocking handle and moving the bullet to the medicine room (chamber).
Not just me, Shea, and Snow & Chris.
The distance of the ground is getting closer and closer.
I notice a shadow running hard from the woods.
It's Simil in the back!
He is stunned sweating, weeping, holding his right arm down.
The right arm that was holding the proud sword was gone.
He changes his blood phase and runs as he holds it down with his left hand.
"Ha, help - ha!
For a second.
His upper body disappeared.
When blood blows out of the remaining lower half of the torso, it collapses.
"Huh."
I suppress my mouth to the sight of too shock and turn away.
"Young lady, don't turn away. I don't know what's coming next."
"Oh, I'm sorry. But..."
Sour looms from my throat like a death so tragic.
I managed to indulge myself and looked up.
For a moment, the demon who devoured Simil flies up into the air.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Dancing high into the sky, he speaks out to intimidate this one.
The total length is about ten meters.
He wraps around his whole body a sharp, hard scale that is going to cut off if he touches it with his hand, and is flying freely through the sky with wings that spread across his back.
And a different characteristic than a normal dragon - from a neck with two bottles, he raises his voice in his belly again.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
"Whoa, whoa, what are you... ugh"
I accidentally absurd my voice.
Shea groaned bitterly.
"Looks like you got my prediction. Top Individuals in the Red Dragon...... Twin Dragons...... ugh"
There was this twin dragon, so the demons were gone from the woods!
I mistakenly thought it was because of the twin sorcerers and the Great Ghost (Auga).
Descend to earth to react to her voice and secure two pairs of eye holes to us.
"- Whoa! Snow, Chris! You two evacuate Mr. Rumgo and the others! Me and Shea are shooting to distract him!
At my behest, they move.
Dan! Da-da-da-da-da-da!
Full auto fire of AK47.
But I can't even scratch the scale of a monster called Twin Dragons.
Still, me and Shea keep shooting to draw attention.
One of the twin dragons moves to annoy us and breathe heavily.
"!? Young lady! The braces are coming! Avoid it!"
"... ugh!
A flame emits from one of the twin dragons.
Strengthen your whole body with physical enhancement immediately after Shea points it out. Exit immediately.
It's like more than double the power of a flamethrower in a previous life!
It also has a range of about fifty meters, and both the horned horses of our carriage, who had escaped with the advent of the Twin Dragons, will be on fire.
Momentum fallen horn horse. All the luggage in the front carriage can be impetuously smashed to the ground.
One piece of luggage, a barrel containing a magical liquid metal, hits the trunk with momentum and splashes.
Fortunately, spare ammunition (cartridges) were released together and never caught in flames.
"Lute! Mr. Shea!"
You reacted to Snow's worried voice, and the neck of the twin dragons are both pointed at them.
The rubbers are still fleeing into the woods.
"You lizard bastard!
Anger boils over the twin dragons trying to strip their daughters of their teeth.
I replaced the magazine with a full-armed bullet - but it still bounced on the scale and it didn't work!
Earlier, apart from the flaming neck, it acts like it breathes again.
All the snows are not in the woods yet. Even if it was in there, I don't really think I can keep that flame of power out of the trees.
(Should I have prioritized firepower over personal equipment after all!?
It's too late to regret it now.
I extend my arm to the second armored bullet magazine.
That fingertip touched something else.
It's the prototype's defensive 'Fragment Grenade'!
I pull out the grenade pin with my mouth and assist my body with physical enhancement while keeping the lever under control. I threw a grenade at the tip of the Twin Dragons nose. The effective range is about fifteen meters. Snow and the others are further away, so there is no danger.
Rupture sound.
At the same time, Twin Dragons give their first screams of pain.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
The brace that was about to spit out would take the form of a slap on the ground and self-destruct.
Luckily, the fragment smashed one eye.
"Everybody! Don't look back. Run to the back of the woods! Don't look back, go to the back of the horn!
I flee to the back of the woods while serving as my lord with Shea, skipping instructions.
On the way, a mess of luggage from the carriage hit my leg.
I realize what that is, and I take it by accident.
"Young lady! What are you doing! Come on!"
"Sorry!"
Twin Dragons scream at the pain they receive for the first time and show no action except to stuffing them for a while.
At the end of the day, all I could hear was a hateful roar from behind.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
During the carriage's journey, I had my hands on making grenades in my spare time.
I was hoping to make one or so of the accessories such as protective equipment, backpack (Zack), etc., but I didn't expect it to be useful in this way...
We run through the woods and lurk there because there was a cave.
Already the sun falls and behind the cave lights a dark, magical light.
The entrance was blocked with grass and engineered to keep the light from leaking.
I put on the AK47 safety device and lower my back to rest my tired body.
Wipe the dripping sweat with your arms and mouth the water bottle that was secured with an ALICE (Alice) clip.
"... if I were hiding here, I wouldn't find him like that twin dragon, and then you think I'd give up and go somewhere?
"I don't think so."
I didn't tell anyone, but Shea reacts and responds.
She also had her mouth on the water bottle and wiped her mouth off.
"Dragons are priceless all in all. Because of the bad hands, that twin dragon will never give up tracking until it's finished with the young man."
Seriously.
It's like the Sanmao Beppei incident in Hokkaido in a previous life.
That one stubbornly chased people too, ate and killed a few people, and was shot in the end?
When I'm remembering a case where I only had blurry knowledge, my employer's rubber go yelling.
"Oh, you hurt the dragon so badly that we're the wings to be chased! Lose your stuff, too. What are you gonna do!
Other servants have denounced me with dark eyes, although they do not speak to me.
"... I think Lute's judgment is accurate. If we hadn't used the magic tools of rupture then we would have been burned to death by the flames of dragons. Did you still mind?
"Guh."
The rubber goats resented Snow's allegations all at once. Turn your eyes down.
I guess she pointed out the facts and got a little cold in the head.
"Horn on the rabbit, now we should calm down and think about breaking the situation"
"Chris is right. Pushing each other's responsibilities doesn't help. Let's check the situation first."
Snow, Chris and Shea nod.
The rubber goats pierce silence to keep out of the way.
"Firstly, Shea, that's a twin dragon, right? I thought you said the top species of red dragon."
"Exactly. Derivative species of red dragon, with two necks on the torso is the biggest characteristic. It is considered the top species of red dragon because it alternately spits out braces. It's impossible to be in the depths of a demonic continent and go out on other continents like this..."
But the fact is, the Twin Dragons are here.
But you'd be pretty nasty if they shot that brace alternately.
Shea says that even if you're shooting alternately, you can't throw up multiple times in a row.
Once you throw up, you can't throw up braces for a certain amount of time, which seems to be the hallmark of the dragon.
She keeps talking.
"The lucky thing about being unhappy is that it's still a toddler."
"A toddler? You mean a kid?
"Yeah. Thanks to you, the braces are still weak, and the scales shouldn't be that hard"
"Is that still soft..."
I was playing a full armor bullet or something......
"Can't you do something with magic?
"Uh-huh, maybe I can't. Dragon scales are too hard and magic works."
Snow, a magician A minus class, blurs.
Now Snow asks the other way around.
"Lute, what about that rupturing magic tool earlier - making more grenades? You could sneak back to the carriage and get me some spare magic liquid metal, right?
"That's hard too."
I show the barrel I picked up.
It's one of two magical liquid metals I kept in the carriage in reserve.
The other is witnessing a crash and smashing into the trunk when the luggage was well scattered by the rolling of the carriage.
This is the last one.
The lid opened when the momentum fell to the ground and the contents were leaking.
Quantitatively, you could make about one critical grenade, but that's all.
Even if there was one grenade, it wouldn't be enough to defeat that twin dragon.
"I'm sorry to hear that so many times, but is there really a zero chance that he'll give us up? For example, if you've been hiding in this cave for a week or so, why don't you just give up?
"You can't give up. I don't think I could live in this cave for a month."
Shea assures me.
Can't you do it for more than a month...
"Besides, it's actually dangerous to stay in a cave. If he finds out and throws up one brace from the entrance, there's no escape for us. It's gonna burn round."
The easier it is to understand the rubber goats behind Shea's point, the more trembling.
The situation is persecution, blockage......
The only salvation is that twin dragons are toddlers, as weak as they are compared to adults?
Heavy air fills the cave.
I can hear you sobbing from a rubber servant woman.
Apparently, the rubber goats have reached the threshold of giving up.
Shea asks in a ready voice.
"... does anyone have a demon stone?
"Demon Stone? What are you gonna use that for?
"When you break a magical demon stone, it erupts and causes a severe explosion. I'll take him with me."
I mean, Kamikaze Attack where I was in my last life.
I didn't know demon stones had such properties.
But happy or unhappy, no one had a demon stone. Rubber goats are usually handled as well, but they don't carry the same items this time.
"... ok. Then I'll draw the twin dragons as far away as I can in the meantime."
"I will never admit that!
'Yes! You can't let Mr. Shea die!
Snow, Chris speaks out against.
But Shea doesn't change her mind.
"Thank you. But as it is, we all just wait for death. If you look at reality, this is the best. I'm glad to hear your wife's words alone."
The two become painfully silent.
Shea turns back to me.
"Young lady, make only one grenade out of that magical liquid metal. Because if you put a grenade in the mouth of a twin dragon and blow it up, if you're good, you might be able to take down one of his necks."
"No. Shea's operation is dismissed."
"Until the young...... ugh. Give it up. There's no other way for everyone to help! Besides, don't worry about me. If you could just ask me one last favor..."
"No, no. Thanks to Shea, I came up with a better operation. So I want you to listen to me first."
"My better maneuver......?
Shea listens to me and blinks several times.
Snow and the others circle their eyes at my confident attitude, not just hers.
"Really? Lute."
'That's your brother!
I take out a box containing a surprise gift that I was buying for two in a mining city.
The box holds about two small demonic stones.
This little demon stone allows us to create an array.
"I'm gonna smash that lizard's brain all the way to the other side of the star with this guy"
