The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

Chapter 109: An Unexpected Side

Its nice that we have snuck in, but how should we proceed from this point forward? I ponder while watching the man named Fujita walking in front of us.

(I must find an opportunity to act alone)

Although my hiding skills are geared differently from Ichinose-sans Cognitive Impediment, they are nonetheless very valuable in this type of situation. And its easier to roam about independently.

(Should I use the restroom As long as Rikka-chan covers for me, I could earn a lot of time by leaving a part of Aka and a tape recorder behind.) Its a classic tactic, but it might work. If its simply pressing a button, a portion of Akas body would have no trouble doing it. Furthermore, it shouldnt be unnatural considering Ichinose-sans normal behavior.

By the way, Ichinose-san, where did you get that gun?

.

Ichinose-san?

Uh, yes? What?

Shoot, I naturally dismissed it. Right now, Im Ichinose-san. As I thought, this is hard. I should put up a proper act.

Hahaha, Natsun, youre panicking too much. You dont have to be so surprised just because your names called. A, hahaha

Sorry, oji-san. This girl is bad with strangers, so she must be nervous. Nice follow-up, Rikka-chan. Surprisingly, this girl can be extremely attentive. Unlike me.

Ah, is that so? Im sorry for acting overly familiar with you.

Fujita-san is convinced and looks apologetic.

Ah, no I should be the one saying sorry.

Its okay, it doesnt bother me. Going back to the question, where did you acquire that gun? Fujita-san seems interested in the gun (Aka disguised) on my back. But theres no helping it. For an average person, it isnt something one could see in real life, not to mention acquiring it.

Well, I got it with a skill.

Fujita-san narrows his eyes.

Hee, is that a skill that can produce guns. No, weapons?

His voice is slightly low. I cough roughly predict what hes thinking.

Yes, yes. Its something like that.

Thats amazing. Then can other people like us handle the weapons? As expected. A powerful weapon. In todays world, its something that everyone would desire so badly that their hands might come out of their throats.

(But that is impossible.)

The items that Ichinose-san gets through Gatcha is designated as her possession. I wasnt able to put her items in the Item Box. Also, although I havent tested it, there might be limitations in the usage as well.

Another problem is with the ammunition. Even if someone else could use it, the bullets would run out in one or two shots. But this isnt something Ichinose-san has to worry about.

(Was it Ammunition Creation?)

I heard from Ichinose-san before that she got a total of four skills from the Sniper Set. Long Distance Sniping, Hit Correction, Enhanced Penetration, and Ammunition Creation. Long Distance Sniping is a skill that corrects the attack damage as the distance from the enemy increases. Currently, her maximum distance is about 800 meters.

As the name implies, Hit Correction boosts the accuracy of her sniping skills.

Enhanced Penetration is a skill which increases the snipers attack power.

And Ammunition Creation is a skill which consumes the users MP in exchange for the creation of ammunition. It is very good and burns little MP. This is also the reason why Ichinose-san was able to hunt down such a large number of monsters.

Um, this gun is for my use only Others cant use it

Saying so, I give the gun to Fujita-san. Its easier to believe my words if I let him confirm it in person.

(Aka, Ill be relying on you.)

(Furu furu)

Try it. Theres no ammunition there, but you can try pulling the trigger. Is it okay?

With my approval, Fujita-san examines the gun.

Sure enough, the trigger doesnt move at all. The other parts dont work either After all, Aka is doing its best. Fujita-san who checks the gun for a while drops his shoulders. He must have had some faint expectation. He returns the gun.

The moment I receive it, I could feel Aka saying that was ticklish to me.

Sorry about Aka. But thanks for your hard work.

Im sorry that I couldnt be of help to you guys

Nah, its good.

Fujita-san puffs at his cigarette.

Oh, but could you tell me what skill you have for reference?

Okay.

I explain to Fujita-san about Gatcha and Hiki Komori. Ichinose-san has given me her permission in advance, and it isnt something that we have to hide like the Item Box. Although it is the job of a Neet, there must be some people like Ichinose-san that chose this occupation.

I see, a Hiki Komori Well, some people have mentioned that such a profession exists, but I thought it was a joke. To think they can acquire such a powerful skill So there are government officials who have the aptitude for such an occupation 1 SP per gacha The risk is huge, but depending on their luck, people could get stronger skills and weapons I see, it was a good reference. Im grateful. No, it was nothing.

But the children these days are quite courageous, choosing a job that sounds like a joke. I could only laugh vaguely at his words. Ichinose-san, apparently youre quite courageous.

By the way, what occupation did oji-san choose?

Rikka-chan who is walking besides me asks a question casually.

Me? Im an Axe Wielder. It sounded like the most powerful occupation among my options. An Axe Wielder. So there is an occupation like that. Additionally, it seems like they store their weapons in one location unless theyre going outside or patrolling.

Isnt that inefficient?

Rikk-chan asks.

We had a chaotic accident a few days ago. Since then, weve minimized the armaments inside of the government building. Hmmm, so a lot has happened.

Yes, a lot has happened.

A lot.They most likely had an internal conflict. And quite the ugly one at that. My olfactory sense which has been sharpened by Enhanced Senses makes it easy to imagine what occurred. But in the current world, this should be quite common.

We continue to walk down the corridor while chatting with each other. After a while, we arrive at a room that says Napping Room.

Its here.

Nishino-kun and his companions must be resting here. I pick up the presences of the people inside Three in total. We enter after knocking.

Beds are lined up next to each other for people to take naps. There are several vacant ones, and three of them are being used. He is the one in the middle.

Rikka?

He turns around and mutters so. He opens his mouth in surprise.

Oh, Nisshi, its been a day.

Rikka waves at him slowly while laughing.

Ah

Nishino gradually leaves the bed and comes near us. Then, he stands in front of Rikka-chan while staring her face.

Dont disappear without any noticeidiot.

Rikka-chan smiles bitterly at the words that Nishino-kun barely manages to squeeze out.

Ahaha Im deeply sorry for that.

I was really really worried.

Yup.

You dont listen to my words and you disappear without notice. It was really hard on me. Yup, Im sorry about that.

And what was with that emoticon. Youre too relaxed. Use your head a bit more. Yup.

Really, youre an absoluteidiot.

Yup.

Im glad that youre safe.

Yes, thank you.

Speaking until this point, Nishino-kun gently hugs Rikka-chan. What a surprise. So he shows such a vulnerable side of him to his companions. It slightly changing my thoughts about Nishino-kun.

By the way, while Im moved by the reunion, I lost my chance to sneak away by myself. Should I just throw up? Like what Ichinose-san would do?

Never mind. Lets just wait for now. The chance to move alone should come soon enough.
