“Phew… I guess Carter is okay now.”
The Imperial Capital Carter had suffered great damage from the Magic Bug attack.
However, thanks to Seira-chan’s Magic Potions, the destroyed buildings were restored without any problems.
As for the food crisis, Mashiro solved that.
There were also zero injuries or fatalities. With this… everything is resolved!
“Well then, I think I’ll go home and relax…”
～～～～～～
Sinri: The problem is not yet solved. The Magic Bugs will attack again.
～～～～～～
“Heeh… again? They say the Magic Bugs are coming.”
Seriously, what a pain.
Well, I guess I’ll just quickly take them down with magic.
“Mika-rin-dono! This is… the time for our Imperial Army to show its strength! All troops, take up your [Guns]!”
The Imperial soldiers headed towards the outer wall.
I was curious, so I used Flying Company, and flew to the sky above the outer wall with Luciel and Seira-chan.
The Imperial soldiers were lined up on the outer wall.
What they were holding in their hands was…
“Oh, guns.”
“Eh? You know about guns…? Mika?”
“Well, yeah.”
“Because you’re a God, right?”
In Seira-chan’s mind, it seems that Gods know everything.
But the reason I know about guns is because they exist in the modern world.
Guns. They were developed in this other world too.
“Those are officially called Magic Guns. They’re the latest weapons developed and mass-produced by the OTK Trading Company.”
The OTK Trading Company is the world’s largest commercial guild, so they make amazing things.
“Guns, ready!”
When Sho gave the command, the soldiers readied their Magic Guns.
Then, countless Magic Bugs attacked from the sky.
Ugh, even after Luciel and the Twilight Dragon members defeated so many, they’re still coming… those Magic Bugs…
How annoying.
“Fireeeeeeeeeee!”
At Sho’s signal, the soldiers pulled the triggers.
Dopan…! The bullets were fired, piercing through the Magic Bugs’ hard outer shells.
～～～～～～
Sinri: The mechanism of the Magic Gun
→The Magic Gun has the same basic structure as a modern gun. However, since fire Magic Stones are used for the bullets, it is characterized by not incorporating mechanisms used in modern guns, such as cartridges and primers.
“Fire Magic Stone”
→A special mineral with magic power that causes explosions and combustion when stimulated.
～～～～～～
Hoh. The guns in this other world seem to have a different structure than the ones in the modern world.
“I’m surprised… The Magic Bugs’ outer shells were supposed to be incredibly hard…”
Luciel, who had actually fought the Magic Bugs, looked astonished.
“That attack was released from such a small cylinder? And it can make holes in the Magic Bugs’ hard outer shells… amazing…”
“Fufun, right? Amazing, right? The person who made it is amazing, right!”
Seira-chan was beaming. Oh, could it be…?
“Did you make the Magic Guns, Seira-chan?”
“Close! My respected Granse-baaba made them!”
Ah, I see. Seira-chan’s grandmother, Granse-san, is also a very talented Alchemist.
Seira-chan is happy that her grandmother was praised, she’s so cute.
“Fire! Keep firing!”
Dopapapapan! The soldiers fired bullets one after another, shooting down the Magic Bugs.
“With the Barrier magic that Mika put up and the soldiers’ Magic Guns, our defense is no problem!”
“Hmm…”
“What’s wrong?”
“No, I was just wondering why the Imperial Capital was almost destroyed once, even though there are such amazing inventions.”
If there are such amazing weapons, I don’t think I would have needed to come here, they could have protected the Imperial Capital themselves.
～～～～～～
Sinri: “Reason for the Imperial Capital’s Destruction”
→There are two reasons. One is that without Master’s defensive Barrier, the Magic Bugs were allowed to invade.
The second is that while the guns are certainly powerful, their accuracy is still lacking.
～～～～～～
“I see… so the accuracy is not so good.”
“That can’t be helped. The enemies are flying freely in the sky.”
The soldiers fire their guns. But the Magic Bugs notice the soldiers’ attacks, fly into the sky, and avoid them.
The guns are powerful, but they make loud noises.
It’s like telling the Magic Bugs, who have sharper senses than humans, when the attack is coming.
It’s like a telegraph punch.
That’s why they can easily avoid them.
“The accuracy is an issue for the future.”
“Future? What are you talking about? We have to fix the current problems now.”
Luciel and Seira-chan blinked their eyes.
“Lazy Mika is… saying something sensible!”
“I never thought such words would come from the mouth of the lazy Mika God-dono…”
They’re both so mean.
Well, I won’t deny that I’m lazy and a slacker.
“In short, we just need to make the bullets hit the enemy, right? Easy peasy.”
“How are you going to do that?”
“Hey Sinri, tell me how to make the bullets always hit the enemy.”
“Again with the complete delegation…?”
The two of them didn’t seem surprised at all.
It was more like, “Oh, I see.”
Well, I don’t know, but maybe the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) knows something.
～～～～～～
Sinri: Using the Omnipotence of Omniscience, the easiest way is to give a name to the gun that ensures the bullets always hit.
～～～～～～
Ah, I see.
Omnipotence skill. It’s the power to grant convenient abilities to others.
By opening Let’s Become Familiars and writing down the name and role, I can give that power, or even stronger power, to others or other things.
“So, I just need to give the gun a name that makes the bullets always hit, right?”
“…………”
The two of them gave me a glare.
Eh, what’s wrong?
“Because it’s Mika…”
“We don’t have any expectations, so please name it as you like.”
Yeah, yeah, I know my naming sense is terrible (Feruco, Feruta, etc.).
It’s okay for me to say it myself, but when someone else points it out, I get a little irritated.
Hmm, a good name, a good name… ah.
“Hey Sinri. Think of a good name for me.”
“You’re delegating even that!?”
“Well, you know, thinking is a pain?”
Anyway, I’ll be told later that it’s lame or terrible.
I guess it’s better to have someone else name it, and then I’ll just use that.
“To delegate this much to Omniscience… What exactly are you going to do, Mika…?”
“There is the most important task of naming it.”
That’s right. That’s why it’s best to delegate tasks that can be delegated to others.
～～～～～～
Sinri: If Master names it Lucky Gun 《Trigger Happy》, the bullets will always hit.
～～～～～～
I see.
“Okay, then, Lucky Gun 《Trigger Happy》.”
Ah, but it’s a pain to give names to everything individually.
That’s what I was thinking…
Paaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
“W-what is it!?” “Our guns all started glowing at once!?” “What’s going on!?”
…Yeah.
“Hey Sinri! What’s going on!?”
“Again, the person who caused it doesn’t understand anything…”
～～～～～～
Sinri: A clone of the Digital Spirit 《Me》 has collectively named all the guns Lucky Gun 《Trigger Happy》.
～～～～～～
“Oh, nice~. So from now on, we can name them all at once.”
The Digital Spirit is a lifesaver.
“You’re finally delegating even the task of naming… You’re no different from an ornament, Mika.”
“Well, she’s meaningful just by being there…”
Alright then.
“Hey, Imperial soldiers. You don’t have to aim anymore. Just shoot away~”
I thought the Imperial soldiers would be confused, but…
“Yes, Ma’am…!”
They obediently followed my words and pulled the triggers.
Dopapapapapapan!
Zashuzashuzashuzashu!
“Oh! Amazing!” “Even though we’re not aiming at all, the bullets are automatically piercing the Magic Bugs’ heads!?” “It’s like magic bullets…!”
Ohh! The soldiers cheered.
“Thank you, Mika-rin-dono!”
“As expected of the great witch!”
“You’ve cast a spell on our guns!”
They interpreted it favorably.
Why?
“Funyaa.”
Pyoko, Bastet God, Mashiro-chan, peeked out from my chest.
She has a skill called Cat Deception.
As a result of Mashiro activating the skill that adds credibility to my words, the soldiers don’t doubt my words at all.
“Alright, well, with this, the defense here is okay. Now, let’s move on to solving the fundamental problem.”
“Fundamental?” “Solve?”
The two of them tilted their heads. Oh my.
“The Magic Bugs, they’ve been coming one after another, right? No matter how many we kill, they keep coming. Makes you wonder why, doesn’t it?”
“Indeed… I wonder why.”
“Right? So… hey, Sinri. Why are the Magic Bugs coming one after another?”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Because there’s a Magic Bug nest in Alfheim.
“Alfheim”
→A giant tree forest within the Empire. It’s where the Magic Bugs have their stronghold.
～～～～～～
“I see… a Magic Bug nest.”
“That’s right. If we don’t destroy it, the Magic Bugs will probably keep coming. So, I thought we should go destroy it. But, we couldn’t leave this place undefended while we were gone.”
But, thanks to my Barrier magic + Lucky Gun《Trigger Happy》, the defense has been strengthened.
“All that’s left is to raid Alfheim. Let’s go, you guys!”
““We’re girls, though.””
