A coffee shop on the ground floor of the lab.
"Delicious!
It's a dream show. "
"I haven't eaten it in a long time, but it's delicious."
"Hmm! This is delicious!"
"Hah... I didn't know you could eat in Earl Elvis territory."
"I wonder if this achievement is Kitamizato."
"I eat too much... this is dangerous."
The people who came from King's Landing smiled and wrinkled their eyebrows.
"Director, you're gorgeous today.
I think it's obviously over-budgeted against the price of the food voucher? "
Meyer sat next to Takeo, the farthest away from the face of King's Landing.
"Well... just us.
I don't have any other croquettes. "
I see.
Two croquettes in the curry... it's delicious, but I feel like I've eaten a little too much. "
"You're all right about that.
If you eat too much, you will move well this afternoon.
How are you getting ready? "
"There was no problem and I was preparing it like that because it was a work clothing.
Later, I'll ask the station chief to keep everyone's uniform. "
"Yes, I understand.
And I have prepared a poncho for work, so please come and get it later. "
"... Chief, didn't you hate Poncho?"
"Ralph came to sell it.
I was asked to test the product because it is offered cheaply.
... SL-05.
Looks like it's thinner than the combat vest, but it's performing. "
"Have you commercialized it yet?
I will definitely test the equipment. "
"It's in the director's office, so please come and get it later."
Got it.
Then let me take my uniform and tell him to take the poncho. "
"Please.
So... how were Rack and the others? "
"Burt and Foret were shooting small guns, and Rack was spotting small guns.
It was interesting.
Well, the intelligence squad led by Rack uses a lot of magic in their movements and pursuits, so a small gun with the same attack power as a medium magic without relying on magic seems attractive.
You may have to deliver it to the King's Landing Guard at some stage. "
"And if I'm careful, I'll deploy it to all the King's Landing Guards and then to the First Knights...
The production will not catch up, so we will need the help of the King's Workshop.
If that happens, you could even intentionally lose a small gun.
At that point, other countries will find out. "
"I can't say that... never."
"If we spill how we manufacture small arms and ammunition, we're going to have an arms race with our neighbors.
I don't think the current kingdom of Azpal has that much room, but even if it does, it's the Willip Union.
Even though the basic national power is different, there is also a manufacturing competition with slave state opponents... I don't feel certain of losing. "
"... it's still too early to deploy to King's Landing."
Meyer nods.
"Small arms aren't a big announcement.
It is important to note that there is a commander with a small gun in the Willip Union.
Our initial intention was to create a shield that would only be able to respond when small arms were deployed in the other country.
The aim is not to deploy small arms throughout the country.
The test platoon will train you to be familiar with small arms, and you will be used to handling them first.
And they make shields that can be defended without any problems. "
"That's right.
... he had a scope, right?
The director gave it as a souvenir.
I can't think of one of those... "
"I'm not nice enough to think of only one of them.
The fact that the scope was attached to the gun allows him to assume that he can shoot.
Ah, a sniper tells you to shoot exactly where you're going.
A maximum of 400m of sniper... Unfortunately, the test platoon is still not close to his feet. "
Takeo tells Meyer.
"Andersen and the others have asked me to attach a scope to the gun, but what should I do?"
"... I won't allow it at the moment."
"May I ask why?"
"A sniper must be mentally tough.
I thought I'd try augers and orcs, but... just shooting at defenseless people is worth it.
You are relatively... that is, you are definitely more accustomed to fighting a hostile opponent than me.
However, unilaterally attacking an unprotected opponent can be psychologically pushed.
Especially the scope.
Do not install the scope while you are unfamiliar with it.
Let me aim with my bare eyes for the time being.
First of all, I want you to be able to shoot from a distance. "
Got it.
But I didn't know the station chief was so exhausted by shooting. "
Surprised?
"Yeah, well."
"Relatively, the gun is shaken before the words" if you fight ".
Neither begging nor disgusting nor angry.
Shooting someone with a normal face is mentally heavy... and a feeling of guilt springs up.
Unilateral killing from an overwhelming superiority.
This is more than I could ever imagine.
Besides, I'm still only angry with Augur.
If it's a routine war, it's a humanoid opponent... and I don't know what I think at that time... "
"Small guns aren't just useful."
"Hopefully, I will only give you an order to 'shoot straight' without targeting you."
Takeo had lunch while saying so.
