Chapter 47: Ultra Spicy, and a White Mask.

After the testing and programingexperiment, I tested the durability of the blade mode.

Though I made and combined the parts the components I didnt use Modelingon were basically one piece and integrated with and had the toughness of the dragons horn. I was able to easily cut down a large tree. I wasnt able to experience this with a normal katana.

After that we returned to the area around the castle, I bought 3 leather knife sheaths, and I bought one large scabbard and transformed them using modelingto make a holster for the guns. Its difficult to walk around with it as it is.

I bought three special waist pouches for bullets, because were in town there isnt the fear of being attacked by a demon beast, although I had only given them rubber-coated Paralyze bullets. I had shells other than the rubber-coated bullets. If by chance I happen to be right next to Yumina when she needs to reload, she might possibly end up with some of my bullets.

I realized this and once again Programedeveryones gun. Bullet in the range that the speaker desiresReload it came to be. Originally Aportwas meant to be used like this.

For the remaining bullets what should I enchant them with? Lindsey had used Explosionat the ruins of the former capital but, the blast had been big enough to blow a mountain of rubble away making it extremely difficult to manipulate. If its Fire ignitionmaybe upon impact a fireball hits the targetthis is a bit much too I think.

Well, for human targets Paralyzeshould be enough, even if they have a ward the rubber-coated bullets should cause considerable damage. Ill take time thinking about it later.

Weve come to the capital, so why dont we go eat something?

Thats nice. I want to eat the local specialties of this country

if I remember correctlyKaraeis the famous dish here

Curryhuh? You want eat with a theme huh? There was a stall selling it nearby, so lets take a look. On the signboard read Beef KaraeChicken KaraePork cutlet Karaeas well as other things. Huh, this smell is

Yumina ordered Beef Karae, Lindsey ordered chicken karae, and I ordered pork cutlet karae(For some reason Kohaku refused to eat it) and it was finally carried from the stall to the table where we were seated.

This color, this smellits curry after all isnt it? Theres no rice so there was no curry rice.

Um you, know this is

Probably spicy, is what I wanted to say, but the two girls had already shoved some into their mouths.

!?

Gata! They stand and cover their mouths, their eyes began to tear up. Yep its spicy after all. Id have been glad if it was a bit sweet. From their appearance it was considerably spicy.

The girls swiped the pitcher of water and began to drink cups of it as fast as they could. While looking at the scene I took a bite of my own but, it was pretty spicy. I was used to eating this, but for the two who it was their first time it had a mighty impact.

It had terrible tashte

My tongue is burning

Was it so hot that they couldnt articulate properly? Behind the Karae cart was a cart which sold fruit juice to get rid of the burning sensation.

Its not bad once you get used to it

Touya-shan youve eaten Karae before?

Ah- Ive eaten something that looks like it

Yuminas articulation was still vague when she asked. Lindsey was drinking juice with ice in it and enjoying the pleasant sensation, while looking around. Which reminds me, there arent many spicy foods in this world. Places like Belfast prefer sweet foods I think.N?

While thinking about that, I felt the glance of someone and looked in that direction. Nn? This feeling it was the same one as before

Master. Someone is looking at us. Its probably the ones that followed us before?

Kohaku spoke to me through telepathy. I thought so.

Those that had been watching us in the town of Langley huh Alright, Ill go and pay my respects. Do you know where they are?

On the roof of the tallest building to masters right

While giving the impression that I hadnt noticed I give the impression that Im looking in the sky above that building. There certainly were three figures on the rooftop. It was considerably far though.

I guess I should tentatively ready myself. Reload

I had loaded Brynhild withParalyzerubber-coated bullets.

Touya-san?

It might be surprising for other people to see me suddenly reloading but explanations can wait for later.

Kohaku protect these two

Please take care

Alright, lets go.

Boost

I used body strengthening magic on myself and jumped. Just like that I jumped from building to building sideways and jumped over the rooftops as I went. I dashed from roof top to roof top and at last reached the mysterious group that had been observing from above.

Yo

!

The two that had been observing use were surprised at my light greeting, I think.

I said I think because I cant see their expressions. The pair were wearing identical black outfits, and the little bit I could see under the robe were black clothes as well. And under the hood was a white mask that hid their faces. There were strange patterns drawn on the forehead. I thought they were both identical but one had a hexagon and the other had an oval pattern.

Etto, do you understand me? I was hoping you would tell me who you are

Suddenly, the person with the hexagon throws a small tube at their feet. It created a terrible flash.

Ku!

When my eyes recovered from the flash there was no one there. They ran away? Not gonna happen. I took out the smartphone and searched for Suspicious masked people. There they are. They ran up the back alley to the north. I can still catch up to them.

Accelerated boost!

Super-accelerated by magic, I ran along the rooftops. The scenery blew by extremely fast, and before I knew it I saw the backs of the two as they ran in the back alley, I was able to catch them from the roof.

I took a roundabout path and jumped down in front of them.

!?

Well theyre masked so I think theyre surprised. However the hexagon instantly shoves their hand in their chest top like before to try and take out a tube. Otto, not this time!(TLN: Otto means woops but woops is just so plain so Im leaving it)

Without hesitation, I pulled out the gunblade Brynhild aimed at the masked person trying to take out the tube and pulled the trigger.

The hexagon crumbled with the tort of the gun. Apparently they dont have a paralysis charm. While I looked at the hexagon that had fallen, the oval one looks from me to the hexagon at a loss of what to do and not missing that chance another gun report resounded in the alley again.

Now then. What to do.

I used modelingmade some wire and attached them to a wall in the back on the alley. Its fine to unmask them but Paralyzeonly keeps them from moving but they remain conscious. It would be the worst if it was something likeIts against the familys law to remain alive after having my face seenorYouve seen my face so I will definitely kill you

Ill remove the paralysis now, so stay quiet, k?

Looking into the eyes of the pair, I concentrated magic while speaking

Recovery

The masked persons were wrapped in a soft light. With this the paralysis should have disappeared from the pair. Now then, it would be nice if they were to say something.

And, who are you guys? Why were you observing us?

Umumu, the right to remain silent huh?

Was the wire digging into them painful? The hexagon person stirred. No, they might have been trying something to escape. That flash from before or something to rust the wire was troublesome. Did they have tools as a precaution?

I put my hand on the chest of the hexagon.

Hiyaa!?

The hexagon gave a lovely shout, munyon, and the sensation of something soft met my hand. Once I understood what it was, my whole body broke out in a cold sweat.

Wo-, wo- youre a woman!?

The hexagon give a slight nod. I took my hand away quickly but the soft sensation still remained on it. This is bad. I think my face is read. Huh, but that voicedidnt I hear it from somewhere..?

At that moment, where my hand had just hit? The hexagon patterned mask made a tap as it fell to the ground. From beneath, emerged the face of a woman I know.

Eh!? Lapis-san?

While blushing, the maid, that should have been in the Belfast Capital, gave a small nod again.
