Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara

Episode 120 Chrysanthemum Knights, Vice Leader Layara Lalaila

A few days after I went to the adventurer recruitment Guild to explain the situation. We, PEACEMAKER, are wary of an attack of Red Armor, but everyone is doing their part.

I and Meiya are in the airship’s workshop and are working on creating anti-tank mines. Snow, Chris, and Liz are walking together to learn the city’s geography. Shia is the busiest now. I’m asking her to do some research.

She disappeared from our front for the investigation.

Despite being on the same site, there was not much opportunity to interact with the members of the Chrysanthemum knights, because the team leader Lucca was hostile, it was difficult for other members to take the initiative.

So, we, PEACEMAKERs oversee personal belongings-necessary accessories, consumables, communication matters; other miscellaneous tasks are handled by the vice leader.

The Vice Leader of the Chrysanthemum Knights, from the hawk man race, Layara Lalaila. The height is about the same as Chris and Luna. She has long hair but seems to have a hard time with eyelashes. She has hawk wings on her back. It seems that she can fly through the sky using these wings.

There is a dark bear under her eyes, and despite her position as deputy leader, she always acts without confidence. I’m not sure if it’s because of Lucca, but the other members of the group have a rather cold attitude. She always receives unnecessary chores and troubles.

However, since Layara herself has a natural attitude, the surrounding evaluation will not change. Partly because I was indebted to her, I just blurted out.

Why don’t you try to improve the cold treatment?

She tells me the reason while looking around.

“Huh, huh, I can’t help it, um, I’m only the deputy leader in the name.”

Layara says she was from the Beast-man continent, and her parents were well-known noblemen who produced many sorcerers.

She is born as an S level magician only in natural magic. Furthermore, she has good eyes as a racial feature and can fly in the sky for a certain amount of time with her back wings. Therefore, even in her parents’ family, she has a promising future… But she had a fatal defect.

The downside is that … attack magic can’t be used at all.

The person herself thinks that her attack magic is so poor that it may be coursed. The magic of recovery and defense can be used without problems.

In this world, the magician who can’t use attack magic seems to have little value, and she seems to be remarkably narrow-minded. It’s probably because she can’t do what they normally do in a lot of battles.

After that, Layara got expelled from the school of sorcerers, and the parents who cared about their face paid a large sum of money and threw her into the Chrysanthemum Knights.

The Chrysanthemum knights had also talented magicians and could not put Layara, the aristocratic daughter, as a member, as a result, she was given the status of vice leader. Therefore, she got a chilly attitude from the surroundings.

“That’s why I have no choice. But don’t worry, Sir Gunsmith. I don’t care.”

When Layara finished explaining the situation, I who asked the reason has been comforted in reverse.

I overlapped her with the figure of Chris from the time she was a hikikomori. Thanks to the emotion, I suggested that firearms could be used to compensate for the low magical attack.

However, Layara’s response was dull. The poor attack seems to be a trauma. I kindly talk to her.

“It’s okay, it’s easy to handle, let’s give it a try.”

“Wow, Huh, but if Sir Gunsmith says so…”

She reluctantly agreed.

In the afternoon of the following day, I obtain permission to use Chrysanthemum Knights’ Ground.

And the next day, afternoon.

I, Meiya, and Layara appear on the Chrysanthemum knights’ ground. Meiya creates a simple earth wall with magic on the ground and makes it a shooting target.

When Meiya turned to Layara, she played with her long hair vigorously.

“You are very lucky. You can receive handgun instruction directly from Lute-sama, who makes a name for himself in the heavens. I ’m envious!

“Fuhi !?”

Scary, scary, scary. The eyes, or rather, the whole body made a negative aura came out. She was threatening the partner to be trained.

For the time being, I hand the “S & W M10” revolver to Layara.

“Is this a weapon?”

“Yes, it’s a projectile weapon called revolver.”

Layara holds the revolver that was passed to her with both hands.

The reason I chose the revolver is because it has a small recoil, is lightweight and is not complicated. The ammunition cartridge is already in, so if you squeeze the trigger, the bullet will be fired.

I think that the reason why Layara can’t use attack magic is because of her character.

She’s not strong-willed. Therefore, “Can I attack well?” “Is it possible to hit the opponent and win?”, her anxiety rockets up and fails

In that respect, if it is a revolver, even a child can squeeze the trigger, and the bullet will pop out. At worst, you have shortened the target distance to hit.

I hope that through this experience, she will become accustomed to the act of “attacking” and gain confidence, and in the future, she will be able to use attack magic.

For now, I go behind her and teach her how to hold the gun, taking care not to hurt Layara. It’s like a tennis coach teaching a student how to hold a racket on my previous life’s world.

Meiya looks at us and shouts.

“Envious, envy, envy, envy, envy, envy, envy, envy, envy, envy, I’m too envious.”

So scary! Stop because Layara is scared.

I teach her how to grip, how to aim, how to squeeze the trigger and the bullet will pop out, I move away from Layara.

Her target is about 5 meters away.

“Huh, I’ll go”

“Be careful and just squeeze your index finger slowly.”

“Hahii”

While I supported her back, she squeezed the trigger.

PAN!

Shooting sound.

For some reason, a bullet rips through my ears, and a scratching sound is heard. Heat and sharp pain run through my cheeks.

“Wow!?”

“Lute sama !?”

The bullet fired by Layara grazed my cheeks! That’s stupid! Impossible!

I was almost right behind her! But why the bullet grazed my cheek!?

Layara realizes what she has done and apologizes repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

“Sorry, I ’m sorry! I ’m sorry! I ’m really sorry! Uh, when I do it, I hit a strange place instead of hitting the target somehow! I never aimed at Lord Gunsmith!”

“I understand. Okay, calm down. if you move violently with the revolver in your hand, it’s dangerous.”

She’s not going to fire because she’s lifting her finger from the trigger. For the time being, it was decided to stop firing from this distance. Maybe this distance is bad. We got closer to the target.

She tried to fire again from a position where the muzzle was about 10 centimeters away from the target. Even if you make a mistake, it’s physically impossible for a bullet to fly behind you.

“Let’s forget about the previous shooting. Let’s shoot at that distance and develop a sense to hit first.”

“Huh, I understand.”

Just in case, I hide in the shadow of Meiya’s resistance.

“Yes, I’ll shoot”

And Layara squeezes the trigger.

Kotsun.

“…………”

No bullets were fired, and a moment of silence dominated the scene.

“… Huh !?” Misfire!? ”

A misfire means that a bullet will not be fired even if the trigger is pressed. There are many causes: ammunition cartridges are simply missing; The hammer is faulty or broken; the primer detonator doesn’t ignite, or the powder doesn’t burst.

Moreover, because there is a possibility of ‘delayed departure’, I give the instruction panicking so that Layara does not move the revolver for a little while.

“Delayed departure” is the phenomenon of the bullets popping out after a few seconds. It is a very rare phenomenon. The muzzle aimed at the target must be maintained for at least 10 seconds.

Apparently rather than “delayed departure” it was misfire even after more than one minute the bullet was not fired.

Just to make sure, I take all the cartridges out of the revolver and reload them.

“Well then, shall we try again?”

“Ye…yes.”

Layara once again holds the revolver and squeezes the trigger.

Kotsun.

“…………”

Again Misfire.

A newly charged ammunition Misfire, then!?

It is not at the level where the attack missed. It’s already an area of ​​curses. I’m surprised if there is such a great person.

Eventually, Layara never fired a bullet from the revolver.

I was so surprised by Layara, I couldn’t notice the gaze directed at us. From the Chrysanthemum Knights headquarters, Lucca was looking at the ground where we are.
