Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara - Chapter 142
The next morning after receiving a quest request from Hatter, Chris and I boarded the carriage and head for the forest where the Shishigi currently lived.
If there are a lot of people in this quest, the Shishigi may notice and escape, so Chris and I were heading alone.
Bedding, food, and a set of weapons were messed up on the carriage bed because Liz could not come.
One day to the forest, then It took two days for a round trip, but I had more food, water, and consumables ready. It’s better to be careful.
It’s already been a few hours since we left Kokori.
“… I thought yesterday guys, Pauk and the others were going to ambush us, but they didn’t come.”
The fresh meat of Shishigi is so delicious, it is effective against “Shishigi disease”, and it seems that the price is high.
“Why don’t you kick Hatter’s request and sell the meat to the market?” I was approached yesterday by a man named Pauk.
He also left some cliche lines, and I thought that he would attack when we became two people and secured a numerical advantage.
“Even though I went out of my way to prepare PKM.”
I looked at the PKM on the loading platform, which was ready to fire.
[Maybe they’re going to attack the way home after we take the Shishigi?]
I see, it’s exactly two birds with one stone.
I prepared the PKM with an application in mind, but as Chris pointed out, the way back would be the real thing.
“In any case, I brought the PKM, AK47, grenades, anti-tank mines, Panzerfaust, etc. to the carriage, so even we could deal with a dragon.”
Thanks to that, even though there were only two people, the weight of the carriage was a little excessive.
We went further on the carriage a few hours later, stopped the carriage for lunch, and let the horned-horses rest. Chris prepared a meal while I watered and gave salt to the horned horses.
Even if I said prepared, it was just to spread the sheet in the grassland and arrange the lunch box and the tea that we put in a water bottle.
We sat down on the seat when all was ready. The lunch box was packed with sandwiches. Unfortunately, it wasn’t made by my wives. It was by the escort maid apprentices trained by Shia as a cooking practice. Shia said that they must be maids and cooks.
I immediately stretched my arm to one of them.
“Yeah, it’s delicious. As expected, when we were in the Pure Maiden Order, we just had to take turns cooking.”
[Yes, it’s delicious.]
Chris happily raised the mini blackboard while eating the same ‘ham sand’ as I did.
In a grassland wide as far as the eye can see, I spread the sheet and had lunch with my wife. The weather was good, and if you looked up, a blue sky was visible in full. If this were just a picnic, I’d like to sleep on Chris’s knee pillow after the meal.
“By the way, how is the sniper group that Chris is teaching?”
[Everyone is doing their best.]
She held the mini blackboard with a smile.
Only the members of the reconnaissance sniper corps led by Chris are training outside Kokori Street, not on the New Pure Maiden Knights’ Ground.
As expected, it was not possible to take a field of 250m or 500m on length. If it was 250m, it could be managed, but it would interfere with other training.
The members under Chris’s guidance were from the New Pure Maiden Knights that had eyesight. It seems that Layara is also making efforts as an observer.
I remembered Layara, I personally had hope for that girl. I don’t know if it’s possible yet, but I’m planning to associate her with an idea I had. I have to talk to her direct boss, Chris.
Thinking vaguely about that, Chris points to my cheek with a small finger.
“Onii-chan, cheeks”
Apparently, when I ate the egg sandwich, it came off my mouth and stuck to my cheeks. Chris stretches her finger to take it. She scoops the piece of egg with her index finger and carries it to her mouth without hesitation. She licks the piece of egg with her red tongue and smiles happily.
“Beautiful.”
That smile is so cute. It’s so much that I can’t help but look at it.
“Onii-chan?”
“C, Chris…!”
“Kya”
Chris asked, tilting her neck. The long blonde hair reflected the light that fell from the blue sky, making the eyelashes look darker. Probably because of that, the young and well-organized face and white skin stood out.
There were no people in the meadow. So, there was no choice but to push her down unintentionally.
“Onii-chan, it’s dangerous.”
“Sorry, Sorry.”
Although I was criticized by her words, her expression was not angry at all. While saying an apology, I put my lips on the pushed down Chris.
“Hmm …”
The grasslands were not populated, so she obediently hugged me with her tongue pushed into my mouth. However, maybe, because it was embarrassing to kiss outside, the movement was awkward compared to usual. That awkwardness further ignited my heart.
At that time-the rustling of flowers was heard.
“”!? “”
We pointed the AK47, and the SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle), which were on the side and were aimed at the strange noise.
A black-and-white rabbit appeared there, turned its heels back, and left. We lowered the muzzles silently. The sweet atmosphere that we had scattered as if it had been blown away by the meadow’s wind.
After I cleared my throat…
“Would you like to continue lunch?”
“Yes, I would.”
We resumed our meal as if nothing had happened.
We arrived at our destination in the forest at night when the sun had set. The carriage was stopped at a point about 100m afar, on the side of the forest. To prevent monsters, we released the horn horses from the carriage.
We camped here tonight, sleeping while alternating with Chris as a sentry. The first turn was mine.

After having breakfast, I immediately started preparing to enter the forest.
There were no people around, Chris, inside the carriage, and I outside changed into a combat uniform.
We wore the ALICE clip. It was equipped with a reserve magazine, grenades, and a knife around the waist. I filled the water bottle to the limit.
If you fill it halfway, you will hear a ‘chap, chap’ sound every time you move.
The firearm I bring was the “MP5SD”. I chose a suppressor attached to it as a precaution against the Shishigi, but I wonder how effective it is.
“That M700P? Isn’t it SVD?”
[I want to shoot as accurately as possible.]
The SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle) is semi-automatic. Immediately after firing the bullet, reloading is done automatically. The vibration of the moving parts affects the shooting, so the accuracy of the hit is lower than that of the bolt action rifle.
Considering that point, it seems that she chose the bolt-action M700P, which can shoot more accurately.
(But I don’t think it’s a problem with Chris’ skills.)
However, it is no good to deny her thought choice criticizing from the side. So, I decided to stay silent.
After finishing the preparations, we went into the forest.
Now it’s time to hunt Shishigi!
