Chante, Caron, and the three of the Taketto returned early to the Magic Beast Poaching Control Office in the Royal Palace. The commander was gracefully blowing a cigar at the desk, but when he saw Chante and the others, he gave me a scroll.

Chante receives the scroll and stretches it to check inside. When I looked at the scroll from the side, which was intrigued by the tacket, there were letters lined up that I had never seen. But for some reason, I can understand what's written there.

Perhaps thanks to the magic stone that was drunk yesterday, I could understand not only the words but also the letters, but what a strange feeling.

"Earlier, this was delivered on a fast horse. A letter from the Lord of the Rittoria region. It's about a complaint from a village called Sheila in Rittoria."

In summary, what was written on the scroll is like this.

Near Sheila Village is a mountain called Sheila Spirit Peak, where Phoenix lived for a long time. Not only the village of Sheila at the foot, but the nearby villages and towns have long served this spiritual peak and the Phoenix living there as gods.

This Phoenix laid an egg a while ago. Phoenix reproduction is very rare, and this spiritual peak is the first in hundreds of years. Six eggs in total. Of course, the people were delighted and totally festive.

But the rumor spread instantly, and the bad guys who heard it came after the Phoenix eggs. Phoenix's body and eggs can be a pandemic medicine, so they can be traded at a high price in the underworld. The lord sent a leader to protect Phoenix, but they were all Rittorians. Everyone was afraid to enter Sheila Spirit Peak, the god. That's why he wanted the royal palace to protect Phoenix.

"What kind of guy is that bad guy?

The commander roared at Chante's question.

"They're asking us to investigate it, too. A few days ago, there were signs of unauthorized entry into the spiritual peak. Fortunately, there appears to have been no significant damage, but it may have been an intrusion for the purpose of pre-investigation. I don't know when I will fully exercise my abilities. That's why we had a request because it was urgent. Don't go."

"Yes"

"Oh, and... Taketo. For now, you can be an apprentice. Help Chante and Brigitta. A message from the King that weapons can be taken freely from the Armory. The three of you head for the spiritual peak first. Caron, take them out in the perimeter survey. And..."

The commander smiled at the conspicuous eye area of the hook nail marks.

"Capture the poachers. Destroy the organization, if possible. Above"

After that, another operation, Karon, left first by horse for the area.

Meanwhile, the tackets stood behind the royal palace in front of a large stone cache.

There are uniformed guards guarding the warehouse. Chante said to them standing in front of the warehouse like a doll. Let me see it for a second. "I stopped in front of a large wooden door. Then, unlock the door with the large iron key you had in your hand.

When I opened the large and heavy doors that were open enough to allow one person to pass while helping the tacket, I entered the room from the gap.

As soon as he stepped inside, the tacket suddenly shouted, "Wow."

Despite being as large as a small gymnasium, the warehouse was small and equipped with a variety of weapons. It has a two-storey structure with a blow-out in the middle. It was divided into several compartments, each classified and packed with spears, bows, swords, etc. Swords range from thin Rapiers to large swords longer than adult males. There are even cannons and catapults in the blowout area.

"The King said he liked all of them."

That being said, it's too many and I don't know how to choose. Taketo glanced around the warehouse. I don't think I have much time to pick it out because I have to leave for the area immediately.

When I climbed up the ladder and went upstairs, there were many kinds of weapons there as well as on the first floor. After all, the numbers are like bows, spears, and swords. Perhaps this is the standard equipment for the army here.

Hmm?

The tacket stuck its eyes in the corner of the cache. Unlike other compartments, there were many different types of weapons on the shelves. Looks like something that doesn't fit into any other classification is gathered here.

It was a tacket that glanced at it, but something caught my eye.

"Eh... this..."

This medieval world is somewhat unusual. Taketo takes it in his hand. Sole in leather holster. Grabbing a wooden grip and pulling it out of the holder, a golden metal top appeared. When you touch the wrench-shaped part with your palm,

* Giggle *. The tip was cylindrical.

"Isn't this a revolver!?

The shape was as it was, the revolver gun itself. Although the barrel is carved with a Chinese grass pattern or has a slightly decorative feel, the basic shape is very similar to the New Numb M60, which was carried by the bait at the police station. Nevertheless, the barrel is much longer than the New Numb. Taketo himself, I've only seen such a huge gun with a model gun, but it seems to be about 50 calibers thick.

"Ah, that's it. Spirit gun, maybe."

Chante raised a loud voice from the bottom to the tacket that looked at the gun with interest.

"Spirit gun?

That's right... Shoot a Magic Stone with a Spirit. Because it is difficult to use, I don't see people who use it very much, but I sometimes see people who have it. Don't you have any magic stones nearby to use inside ~?

Chante told me to look around the shelf where the Spirit Gun was, and I saw a small wooden box placed a little further away. When I opened the lid with my hand, it contained six stones in the shape of an elongated bullet. Because it is called magic stone, I imagined the white thing that I was drunk yesterday, but all of these stones have a red color. And yesterday I didn't really understand, but there were strange letters written on the surface of the stone. It was a character that could not be read at all in a tacket.

"Is it something like this red stone?

I put the contents of the crate in the downstairs chante, and I said, "Yeah! Probably! The words came back.

"I'm sure there's a spirit of fire in there. Why don't you try it outside?

That's why I'm going to go outside the warehouse and try and shoot the Spirit Gun.

Chante said, "Maybe this is how you do it. Relying on the heartless advice, I tried loading the Spirit Gun with Magic Stone bullets.

After all, it seems to have been processed for this gun. Inserting the magic stone bullet into the hole of the renkon shaped rotary magazine "Cylinder" will slip in without resistance. All six holes in the cylinder contained red magic stones. After all, the structure looks like a revolver.

When the tacket held the grip of the Spirit Gun with both hands, it pointed its muzzle at a thick tree about ten meters away.

Keep firing with your right thumb.

After a breath to calm the feeling, the tacket pulled the trigger.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The muzzle of the Spirit Gun fired. No, I didn't exaggerate the muzzle flash, I really started the fire. A flame was emitted from the tip of the muzzle, like a flame dragon, slightly tortuous like a small flame dragon, hitting the trunk of the tree ahead, scraping the skin of the tree and drilling a hole about one meter in diameter.

Due to the breadth of the gunshot wound and its power, the tacket remains a Pokémon with a Spirit Gun. And the opening screamed the most.

"... haahhhhhhhh!? What the hell!?
