"1 Sasaki! It looks like the joint test team has returned."
"Okay, gather them in the conference room."
The Joint Testing Unit is a unit that conducts combat use of "prototype weapons" jointly conducted with the Ground Self Defense Force.
"How was 1 Komada?"
I asked Koda, who is saluting, straightforwardly. I wanted to know the result soon.
"Huh! It's more effective than expected! If it's a humanoid creature, you could almost kill it with just one shot. It's a success if you can't silence a bullet with at least 20 shots. I think"
"Really‥‥‥"
"Prototype weapons" are made of metal that can be mined from parts of the dark earth. In Japan, this is called "metal steel" that contains magic elements.
Blunt We now make swords and try them out in actual battles.
The blunt sword or sword can be made of magic steel only for parts that damage the opponent, and the other parts can be made of existing metal, so that consumption of magic steel can be suppressed.
Demon steel is difficult to collect and rare, so it cannot be used much. This time, we confirmed the operation on a trial basis because we could make weapons for six people using materials that we could secure in small quantities.
Of course, dozens of other members have been firearmed for security.
"1 Sasaki! How many more weapons can we have?"
"For the current material, 20-30 will be the limit."
"Is it 20-30?"
In terms of strength, there is a shortage ... SDF has a team in charge of mining, but the fact is that while the SDF has been damaged in combat with monsters, there is a shortage of personnel.
There are many places other than Tokyo and Fukuoka where "monsters" are overflowing. Hokkaido, Yamagata, Fukushima, Niigata, Nagano, Ibaraki, Tottori, Hiroshima, Kochi, Miyazaki, Kumamoto, etc.-Everywhere has been doing great damage.
Even so, the strange thing is Nagano. It is close to Tokyo, and there are huge lands in the prefecture.
By chance? I can not say anything because I do not know the details ‥‥‥‥
"Is that a little bit, 1?"
"What happened? Komada"
"Actually, after engaging with the monsters, some of the members who participated said something strange, and I was wondering whether to report them."
"What's weird? What is it?"
One female member came out of the back row.
"Did you have anything like Sakurada 1?"
"I can see you."
"See? What?"
"In front of the person, something like a profession is like a game status plate."
