Chris Sniper Invisible Archers and Disappearing Bullets (4)

"Are you sure you want to be next door?

The day the ritual of the chief begins.

Ritual stage surrounded by four stone columns built to stretch boundaries. I was sitting alone in the corner of the audience, built to make the stage easy to see.

Originally my wife, Chris, was going to sit next to me, but she fell ill in the morning and unfortunately was going to be absent.

He should now be lying on his bed under the care of Yotesia's arranged maid, the head of the fan clan in the guest beds.

Genius Girl, Race, Mage A Plus Class, Hooko So Raille of the Natural Punishment Institution (Nemesis) sits in such an empty seat.

I haven't given permission to sit next door yet, but I can't tell you to step aside now.

"What did Mr. Chris Gunsmith do today?

"My wife is sick and lying in the mansion."

"Really? You're exactly what I expected."

"What do you mean?

"It means the same thing."

She plays long red hair gracefully.

The trick seemed to silently appeal to the winner to be himself.

Pointing it out on purpose, digging a grave is also unsavory. Let's change the story appropriately.

"He's not with you today, is he?"

"She now has me working as head of security. I usually just have to go back to work, so I need you to do this."

Rarely breaks the masked look, wrinkles between the eyebrows and sighs.

The music goes off.

The orchestra started making music to announce the start in line on the other side of the audience.

To the music, the eldest son of the division walks out dressed in red carpet following the ceremonial stage.

Two more children dressed up after their eldest son continue.

The eldest son swung his love to the audience and walked for the stage.

Until this point it is the usual 'ritual of the length', except for some.

There was already a chair on stage if it was meant to be, and I was supposed to sit there.

However, the second son of the division is supposed to "perform" and put the chair at the end.

It would be a measure not to let Chris destroy the chair.

By the way, his second son, Giner, watches "The Rite of the Long" on the ritual stage sleeve.

The look was as satisfying as he was convinced of his victory.

My oldest son stops at the front of the ritual stage.

There is no point in going up because there are no chairs yet.

Then the music changes and the chair is brought in.

I let my hips float slightly.

The knights, with their entire bodies cemented in metal armor, walk the red carpet.

Armored knights march to protect their chairs, mainly knights with "chairs that die when they sit".

The audience said to this performance, 'Wow!' and boil.

The way the knights walk in full body metal armor would be heartwarming as if they were gay.

Heavenly Punishment Agency (Nemesis) as soon as I saw a knight in metal armor - no, I knew what Hooko was after.

I am abominable and stare at her sitting next to me.

"You did it..."

"Yes, I'm proud to say it's a good performance. I'm glad I brought personnel, armor, shields, and swords from the Nemesis on purpose."

She reassembles her legs and deliberately receives and responds to my dialogue in a different way.

The knights also temporarily stop behind the eldest sons.

They split left to right and go up to the ritual stage first.

"The chair that dies when seated" is placed in the center of the stage with a careful hand like a throne.

Upon completion of the placement, they did not descend from the stage, with their swords and shields in their hands, cementing the perimeter of the 'chair that dies when seated'. When the armored knight makes a liturgical move with his sword and shield without any disturbance and makes a metal noise, the audience cheers in unison.

It does look promising, but I don't like it as an individual.

It's like being blocked with metal walls in the three directions of "A chair that dies when it sits".

The only thing that's available is the front, but there's my oldest son.

You can't shoot 'chairs that die when you sit' for each of him.

Hooko reassembles a foot covered with a tight-like material.

"Even when all this is ready, Mr. Chris Gunsmith will surely be used as a magic tool to fly metal fragments. I've solved every case with that arm before, because I would be proud of it. But this time, that's life."

She shapes her grin with that lip with an extra look as she continues her words.

"After the magic tools are used, we are telling the Armor Knight and those around us to collect the metal fragments used first. And based on that evidence, I would like to arrest your wife, Mr. Chris Gunsmith. Sir Gunsmith wants you to convince his wife not to waste any resistance. Because it's unreasonable to ramble poorly and increase guilt. And Sir Gunsmith, of course. For once, I'm preparing my troops so you two can ramble, but I don't want to take the extra effort."

"... you don't know what you want to say. As I said earlier, my wife is sick and sleeping in the guest room."

Hooko sighs boringly.

"Sir Gunsmith, give me one piece of advice. It's nothing to say for yourself, because I don't do much of this stuff. Think of it as a special award for the two of you who worked hard. 'Competition is over before it starts'. Think of this one as a study fee and honestly atone for your sins. And I suggest you never take a boring quest again."

"So I don't know what you're talking about earlier."

I repeat the same dialogue.

Hooko moved his eyebrow root like he was offended, pointing his lips. A slight change but an age-appropriate girly reaction makes me laugh unexpectedly.

That attitude makes Hooko even worse.

I guess I felt as though I had won by an overwhelming difference, but had been put on a bullshit, off-target thing.

Maybe he scorns it all over his chest saying 'not manly'. If so, it's a success. She hasn't noticed what we're after yet.

Music changes.

My oldest son ascends the stairs of the ritual stage step by step to match the music.

The children waited on the spot like dogs guarding the stairs.

The audience's gaze is now poured on one of their oldest sons as well.

He rises steadily one step at a time.

I stopped at one end as I went up the stairs.

One breath and then on the chair - the eldest takes a step to sit in the 'chair that dies when you sit'.

A strong wind blows through.

"Come on!

My oldest son took action to sit in a chair, then.

Screaming, my gaze pours on one of the stone columns, not my oldest son.

Stone columns could not withstand years of wind and rain, and the wind earlier broke and began to fall. The stone columns are as if they were a single tree to be cut down. At first, they slow down, increasing their speed and falling with their own weight.

'Danger!' I don't know if you've responded to someone's cry or noticed it visually, but the knights who were around the 'chair that dies when you sit' rush away from the falling stone pillar. My oldest son also descends from the stage as a shepherd.

Luckily he had fallen slowly at first, so he had plenty of time to escape.

There will be a dozen tons of stone columns, even though they are just cementing their entire bodies with metal armor.

If you add some downward momentum, you'll be crushed with every metal armor.

When the stone columns fall, the sound of destruction crushing the ears, the dust rises, and pebbles and stone grains splash around the perimeter.

Audiences, knights, and performers divert their gaze from the ritual stage to the dust that has risen.

When the dust cleared, there was a 'chair that died when it sat' crushed and broken by stone columns.

Some splashed pebbles, sand and stone grains are likely to bump into each other and get injured, but fortunately there are no dead.

Giner sits nagging on the spot with a look of despair when she realizes that the 'chair that dies when she sits' has been destroyed.

I see the sight and speak to Hooko, who sits next to me.

"I can't believe the stone pillar fell from the ground up. You have such an incident. But I'm glad the dead didn't show up and the chair was underneath the stone column."

"Huh! There! Stay away from the stage because it's dangerous! Mr. Aco will assemble the crew and secure the scene immediately! Don't let anyone near you but us!

Hooko gives instructions immediately after just glancing at me.

As she instructed, the Heavenly Punishment Agency (Nemesis) crew moved in tightly.

When they surround the stage, they crawl around the fallen stone pillars and start looking for something.

Others follow her instructions and begin treating the injured.

Hooko stopped me as I took my seat and tried to get back to the main mansion.

"Often, sit down. I need to ask you something."

"Okay. But please do it as soon as possible. Because I want to go check on my wife."

Sit back again.

Hooko looked abominably at me like that.

A few minutes later, her subordinate, Ako, comes running over in tears.

She tells something to Hooko's ear with a blue face.

When Hooko hears Ako's report, he turns from frustrating to surprising.

"Shh!? No witnesses, no metal pieces found!? What do you mean, you've been watching me? Did you look well?

"Also, of course, sss! There's no drain, sss! But nobody's witnessing it, and I can't find a piece of metal. Shh!

"Oh no... then how... ugh!?

Hooko stares at the fallen stone pillar with a stunned look on his face.

Stone pillar, staring at the mansion several times alternately - she perceived something, frightening her expression with anger and scouting. Apparently she noticed the answer.

Honestly, I didn't think I could get to the answer, so I wind up with my inner tongue.

She bites her back teeth with remorse and stares at me.

"I can't believe you got out in such a bizarre way..."

Anyone can do it if they simply roar and yell.

But she makes the usual sober look after holding on to her emotions and taking a deep sigh.

"... can I have a message from Mr. Chris Gunsmith?

I don't answer, I keep my mouth shut.

She went on to acknowledge and receive words.

"'This time it's my complete defeat. But next time, I'll make sure I put a rope in your hand.'"

When Hooko finishes telling him, he'll be right behind the scene.

He takes command of the formation himself, clears the stone pillars, and embarks on the treatment of the injured.

And on top of that, I think I'm worried about this trend. I feel her gaze on my back. While he admits to losing, he's still exploring the loopholes.

(Hopefully, you'll never want to do it again.)

But it's common for us to bump into each other again just like that... oh man.

I walked out toward the main mansion where my dear daughter-in-law waited as she untied her elaborate shoulders.

By the way, at a later date - Ziner and the old butler, the people involved in him, at Hooko's disposal, secured evidence of the crime and were punished at home.

Even his former employer is a perfectly unforgiving person to arrest if he is a sinner.

Honestly, I don't want to be involved in the Heavenly Punishment Organization (Nemesis) again.

▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

Okay, so how could Chris destroy that 'chair that breaks if you sit' without leaving any evidence?

The answer goes back to the time of the visit of race, Yotesia Fan.

"Are you a fine worker on a stone column?

Yotesia makes a surprise look at Chris' unexpected request.

"Of course it is possible to craft it so that it falls...... don't you destroy the chair body?

'Not that I can do it, but I was talking about' if you make an obvious obstruction in the middle of a ritual, you'll be disqualified as a chief ', so I was hoping to break it in as natural a way as possible'

"I see, thank you for your concern. But there's about 300 meters from the main house to the ceremonial stage, pretty far away, but hitting the target, etc...... are you sure you're okay?

'It's okay! Leave it to me!

In fact, Chris is destroying crystal ball-sized magic tools that spin fast & irregularly on his last request.

That magic tool is a substitute that cannot be destroyed without a strong force on one point.

Though about 300 m away this time, it's a stopped stone pillar.

There will be no easier quest for Chris.

"... ok. Then as soon as we get back to the mansion, we'll ask the talkative artisans to get to it as soon as possible."

'Nice to meet you!

Thus, we planned an early operation to 'knock down the stone pillars and destroy the chair'.

But there's a problem here.

Of course, the problem is the participation of the Heavenly Punishment Organisation (Nemesis) and the Hooko So Reuil.

At first glance, Chris has asked me to make something that I have when I spot Hooko as someone who won't be alarmed.

A certain object is an ammunition (cartridge) made of stone.

"Why do you need something like that again? Can't it be the usual ammo (cartridge)?

'It's only insurance. Because I think Mr. Hooko is thinking of retrieving the bullet I shot and capturing it in evidence.'

"Oh, I see, it certainly can be. So you need ammunition (cartridges) made of stone"

A bullet core made of stone, to be exact.

Destroy the pillars by using a bullet core (Bretcore) made of stone. If the stone pillar falls onto the ritual stage, it will be crushed and fragments splashed. I'm trying to get the bullet core (Bretcore) into it.

If you hide a tree, it is a forest.

'Can you make it with that?

"I guess... I can make it. I think it's gonna take Chris a little while to create a level of satisfaction."

For example, when anti-terrorist units destroy locked doors with shotguns, they destroy them with bleaching ammunition, disintegrator ammunition, hatton ammunition, etc.

It is a type of slug bullet that is powdered and solidified with hardened metals and the like.

When fired by solidifying the powder, only the key is destroyed and the bullet is shattered. Therefore, do not cause damage to anything other than keys, people, etc.

A 'master key' version using the bullets described above is also present in Remington 870.

There are also rubber bullets, wooden plug bullets made of wood, etc.

So it's not like you can never make it out of stone.

However, it is hard to use a metal coat (jacket) to avoid leaving evidence.

What is armor (jacket) for?

"Full metal jacket bullet" refers to a metal covered bullet.

Around the nineteenth century, it is said that Eduardo Rubin, a Swiss army affiliate, created a full metal jacket bullet with a variety of superior characteristics over conventional lead bullets when he created a gun called Schmidt Rubin M1889 as Rudolf Schmidt.

(Schmidt Rubin is a gun that has been developed and used for a long time in the Swiss Army since it was developed in 1889. Features include automatic draining and replacing of the drugpod by simply pushing and pulling the bolts linearly, which is superior in continuity compared to the fact that other bolt formulas require somewhat more complex operations).

Full metal jacket bullets adopted by Schmidt Rubin made at the same time as the advent of smokeless gunpowder (1880s) - the advantages of which include 'hard and therefore high penetration' and 'metal covered so the inside of the barrel is less dirty'.

Especially since the lead bullets remain soft inside the barrel or do not stabilize when fired, it was decided that the automatic guns, etc. would be developed and spread in a stable manner, thanks to the spread of "full-metal jacket bullets" following the development of highly powerful smokeless gunpowder.

Incidentally, the raw materials of the coat (jacket) are used, such as "objects with nickel added to the copper".

Return to the story.

Rubber bullets and wooden plug bullets don't require rifling only. Shotguns don't have problems.

With no rifling, like a shotgun, and a single bullet (slug shot), 100 m is the limit at best you can aim for exactly.

This time, however, we will aim for a stone column about 300 m away.

We talked about using a VSS (silencer sniper gun) to reduce the shooting sound as much as possible.

VSS (silencer sniper gun) can disassemble it and carry it in a bag, so it's not noticeable.

A dedicated subsonic bullet of 9 mm x 39 will also be used as a feature of the VSS (silencer sniper gun). This time it must be made of stone and realized without armor (jacket).

In previous life, science and technology on Earth would have been almost impossible.

But magic exists in this other world.

Create stone bullets with magic.

A jacket can also be created with stones and dirt that could be substituted by magic.

But it's going to take a while.

Thus I developed a stone bullet with the help of Meyer.

▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

Ritual day.

Chris was absent from the ritual because he was ill.

She went to the main mansion basement with a bag containing a VSS (silencer sniper gun) in her hand.

Even though I said basement, I was able to confirm the target stone pillar from an iron lattice half way underground.

Chris is also surprised by the knights in full body metal armor prepared by Hooko.

Because I understood it as a person standing around a 'chair that dies when you sit' for the purpose of preventing bullets immediately.

If a stone pillar falls and gets caught up in it and dies, it tastes bad.

But the knights turn to the side where the pillars are.

It was determined that avoidance was not difficult due to the distance from the stone column. Chris believed that Lute, his darling husband, who is in the audience in the worst case scenario, would follow him.

Chris stands on the pedestal with the finished VSS (silencer sniper gun) in his hand.

Her height is too low and she pulls out the pedestal she put in the basement beforehand.

Check the basement as soon as you arrive at the mansion.

I realized that I couldn't reach it by stretching myself, and I quickly searched out a pedestal just the right height and brought it into the basement.

The ritual begins at the end.

If left unattended, the eldest son would sit back in the 'chair where he dies when he sits'.

"Sooo."

Chris breathes.

"Huh."

Slightly hold your breath.

Gently - squeeze the trigger while being careful not to let the VSS (silencer sniper gun) barrel out of the iron lattice.

Slight firing noise.

Outside, the orchestra plays music, so it won't be heard by the outside world at all.

The drained pod falls onto the basement floor and makes a hard noise.

That was like a bell announcing the end of the stage.

Chris confirms the falling stone pillar and the knights rushing out. Safe, the knights escaped and witnessed a stone pillar fall over the 'chair that dies when seated'.

I'm relieved that no one let the dead out.

Disassemble the VSS (silencer sniper gun) again and store it in the bag. Then I picked up the dropped pod and put it in my bag.

All we have to do is dive into the guest beds where we were principally accounted for so that nothing happened later.

Chris went back to the room with his bag in his hand, listening to the noise of people coming from the outside.

Thus Chris succeeded in accomplishing the request to destroy the "chair that dies when seated".
