Chapter 143: Chris, 14 Years Old-“Shishigi Hunting! (3)”

Chris, who has good eyesight, preceded, and I followed while watching the back. The forest was dim and dark green colored even though it was daytime.

Meanwhile, Chris carefully, quietly, and surely walked forward to find her prey, the Shishigi.

According to Hatter, the Shishigi is a small bird with a long beak and dark brown, plain feathers. Therefore, it was difficult to find it, and it is difficult to shoot it down accurately if it takes off.

Shishigi hunting is based on finding prey, aiming at the head, and killing it with a single blow before it takes off.

We were getting a little closer to the point where there was a high possibility that Shishigi was. The leading Chris moved her right arm from bottom to top as a stop hand sign.

“?”

Did any monster come out? I stopped as instructed and hold the MP5SD so that I could fire at any time. I’m cautious, but I couldn’t find anything unusual, let alone a monster… Chris did not move and held the M700P loosely toward the front.

A few minutes later, Pawk appeared fully equipped in front of her eyes. He was hiding to ambush us, but it seems that he was spotted by Chris. That Pawk also gave up and appeared after realizing that Chris, who did not move after waiting for a few minutes, had seen the ambush. The subordinates who were with him in Kokori were also with him.

There were five people in front of Chris. Behind me, there were 5 people, a total of 10 people. If you came with a large number of people, you would scare away the Shishigi! That’s why only I came all the way with Chris!

I skipped the Tsukkomi while paying attention to the enemies behind me.

“We thought you guys will ambush us on the way home after we captured the Shishigi. You know you can get away with it if you push in with such a large number of people, right?”

“Huh!”

Pauk laughs with his unshaved beard at the sarcasm.

“From the beginning, I don’t think you can catch a Shishigi.”

I am overwhelmed by the unexpected response.

“Rather, I was going to kidnap the representative of Peacemaker and his wife and get a ransom.”

His subordinates agreed and laughed vulgarly. Besides, Pawk was in good shape.

“What’s more, you Peacemakers are using unusual magic tools……. high-performance bows and arrows, aren’t they?” Even so, you went to the forest where there are so many obstructions with only two people. What do I do if I don’t make money?”

I see, was it your aim from the beginning? But they also had no luck. More than anything else, aiming when I was alone with Chris… If I was alone with Snow or Liz, they might have escaped if they were lucky in the woods.

Perhaps he misunderstood that I was frightened by my sympathetic gaze, and he slapped his shoulder with the sword he had in his hand, looking proud.

“Don’t resist in vain. If you’re grown up, you’ll save your life. Well, your wife is going to entertain us a bit.”

“Gya, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! All the subordinates also laugh.”

Wow, it’s so annoying. But there is a problem, Shishigi will likely escape if we fight as it is. While I’m thinking about the quest, Chris pulls my sleeve.

“It’s okay. We can fight as it is.”

“Is it okay? But …”

“Believe me, please”

Chris asserts with full confidence. Then I don’t have to worry anymore.

“OK. Then leave me the five behind.”

“Onii-chan, do your best”

When we exchange words, we leave our backs to each other. With that as a signal, the Pawk and his men also pick up swords, knives, crossbows, and attack.

I’m going to get closer to the trees and use them as a shield.

I put the MP5SD fully automatic. The sound of gunfire echoed in the forest. The subordinates skillfully took cover in the trees to prevent the 9mm (9mm Parabellum bullets) to hit.

From the beginning, I was not thinking of killing with the 9mm (9mm Parabellum). All I had to do was to make the men think it’s safe to hide in the trees. Then I pull off the pin of the “explosive grenade” with my mouth.

“Chris! I’ll use an explosive grenade!”

I warned her from behind, I threw the “explosive grenade” 10m behind the men so as not to hit the trees. And it exploded.

The men who had hidden within the trees were wiped out by the shock wave from behind.

Explosive grenades are grenades that kill or injure your opponent with a “shock wave.” The killing radius is about 10m, which is narrower than the debris grenade. This is because it can be used (not to get caught) even when there is no place for the user to hide.

That’s all for me. Then, I looked at Chris while being cautious…

Dan!

This was also almost finished. They had been almost defeated. Now the fourth person fell to a bullet. There was only Pawk left. He screamed in a trembling voice because the leeway that he had, had been wiped out,

“Are you joking? Why is that?! You can defeat us at different distances so accurately and quickly! What kind of magic do you use?”

“Magic, no… different. Practice.”

Chris said back.

As she pointed out, this is a level that even members of the reconnaissance sniper corps under the guidance of Chris can carry out. Because they have similar training.

It’s the same training as what the US Marine Corps Scout Sniper did in my previous life. In Iraq, scout snipers were introduced into security operations. At that time, two pairs of snipers and observers, a total of four people, were deployed into the city.

However, one night, one of the scout sniper corps is approached by an enemy guerrilla. The firepower was weak due to the small team of only four people, as a result, this scout sniper team was severely damaged. The Marines quickly took this lesson and embarked on a reform of the scout sniper corps. They increased the number of staff from 4 in 2 pairs of 2, to 6 people. The unit firepower was strengthened so that it could respond to any situation.

Further reforms continued. In terms of tactics, they abandoned the idea of ​​fighting at long distances and created a practice program that considers combat in the long and medium range. What kind of practice program was that?

It was to snipe at targets installed separately one after another in a short time. Sniping is usually done by reading the wind, measuring the distance, and focusing.

This training requires you to move the bolts back and forth more practically and quickly, accurately, and kill the enemy with a single shot.

Pawk’s men were prey to Chris the moment they exposed their bodies from the trees in an attempt to close the distance.

“D… damn!”

Pawk despaired and charged with abandonment. Chris was not frightened by his screaming, held the M700P, and squeezed the trigger.

“Gua!”

Pawk painfully grabbed his hand and crouched.

“Hmm?”

Pawk hasn’t collapsed yet. She just shot through the hand of the sword he swung up. She hasn’t been able to neutralize him yet.

It’s unusual for Chris to miss.

She used exactly 5 shots, so she had to reload.

“Chris, do you want me to finish him?”

“Please”

With her consent, he was disabled with the MP5SD. With this, all the criminals who attempted to kidnap us, Pawk, and the others were defeated.

“But we made so much noise, the Shishigi should have escaped.”

“Hey, it’s fine.”

With a smile on her face, Chris passed by the Pawk and went deep into the forest. I was wondering why, but I followed.

Chris crouched down and picked up something that was on the ground. It was Shishigi! Moreover, it was shot in the head and died in one shot.

“How… is a Shishigi!?”

Chris explained with a smile on her face because my surprised appearance was funny.

She had found the Shishigi perched on a tree when Pawk appeared.

After that, she shot through Pawk’s hand and at the same time killed the Shishigi, who flew in zigzag and tried to escape, with a single bullet.

Didn’t you remove the bullet earlier?

I didn’t even notice Shishigi flying away …

What kind of cheat shooting technique was that?

Anyway, we succeeded in catching Shishigi safely.

The way back to Kokori town.

Perhaps because she was the sentry last night, Chris was sitting next to me, who was handling the horned horse on the coachman’s stand. She leaned on my shoulder and took a quiet sigh.

Pawk and his minions couldn’t get on the carriage, so they were treated appropriately and then tied to the trees. After going back to Kokori, I contacted the Adventurer’s guild and had them arrested.

It was out of the jurisdiction of the New Pure Maiden Knights because it was outside Kokori.

In the meantime, even if they were eaten by a monster, it was their own fault.

“I think Chris’s shooting technique is amazing, but so far …”

Suddenly, I remember trivia from my previous life. There is also a bird called Snipe on the Earth of the previous life.

Since the Snipe flies at a variable speed, it is difficult to hit it with a shotgun. The person who can shoot snipes is called a “sniper.”

The sniper was “Sharpshooter” in English and “Tarkka ampuya” in Finnish, but it seems that in World War I, snipers came to be called snipers.

“Exactly Chris Peacemaker is a famous sniper.”

Even though her sleeping face is so cute.

I have one yawn while thinking about that.

I ride the carriage while stroking the head of my sleeping bride, trying to get to Kokori at night.
