The interior of the destination skyscraper was bleak and desolate, with very little decoration.

　Had the interior been removed when the building was abandoned, or had it crumbled over time?

　In the entrance hall beyond the glass door, Alphasul and the other Wild Hunters were waiting for me and Gandalf's arrival now and then.

''Whoa, here they come!''
You're late, newbie. I'm getting ready to go.

　The two people who noticed our arrival were Eil and Hyunyinhime.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　They are also used in a variety of other ways.

　I'm not sure if it's too long, or if it can't be lowered from the waist like Sakura, but it's worn at an angle on the back.

　It's not as if he is armed at a glance.

　I'm not sure how to use it, although I'm carrying these things on my back like a shoulder bag, I have no idea how to use it.

It's a good idea to get rid of it. And then it's time for the launch. There's 20 years of stuff in there, right?
As usual, you have a good ear for alcohol. Where on earth did you get the rumors from?

　The dwarf Ivaldi, who is carrying a large hammer and laughing, is returned by the tree man (dryad) Fraxinus, who has a dumbfounded voice.

　Like Eil, Fraxinus is also not equipped with any protective gear and is standing there looking quite natural.

''Hahaha!　Don't underestimate the connection between fellow drinkers, do you?　By the way, Gandalf. How's that 'gun' I gave you?
Not bad. Armament for white knuckle warfare is maneuvering first and foremost.
That's good to hear. But that's still a prototype that's far from operational. Both miniaturization and reloading. You should not get too confident and equip a normal sword as well.
Hmm, I'll think about it.

　It's a reaction I can tell from watching from the edge that I'm not going to take it too seriously.

''It doesn't matter, where's Alfazul? I don't think you're going to go off on your own again--
Hey, you're all here.

　Alfazul enters the building through the doorway where me and Gandalf came in, with a cheerful attitude.

'Where have you been?'
You gotta leave something in the hole. Luke, you can use this to protect yourself in case of an emergency. You'll have to talk to Eil or Ivaldi about how to use it.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get a good deal more out of it.

　It's like removing the bow from a crossbow and extending the body portion several times over, if you will.

''Oh, is that my hand-me-down?''
You don't use it anymore.　I thought it would be a shame to leave it covered in dust in the warehouse.

　When you hold the gun - that's what it's called - you can feel the weight of the heavy iron in your hand.

　This must be a dangerous thing.

　It's so present that your intuition kicks in when you don't even know how to use it.

　I thought the same thing when I first picked up the crossbow, but this was even more convincing than that.

''Alright then, let's get going. Let's start patrolling downstairs in order.

　Departing the entrance under Alfazul's direction, they first cruised through the corridors to traverse the first floor.

　The demons lurking inside the building were, as Gandalf had expected, a group of medium-sized demons that looked like a monster cat.

　They are about the size of a large dog, but their claws and fangs are as hard and sharp as steel, and they run around the walls and even the ceiling with tremendous agility.

　It's not that any one individual is leading the pack, it's more accurate to say that this building is home to a number of individuals who move around at will.

　Therefore, battles are sporadic, unpredictable, and unpredictable.

　I'm not sure I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

　...... Strictly speaking, though, the majority of the demon's ambushes were quickly put away by Gandalf.

'Hmm, no tricks.'

　Gandalf swiftly swings the tip of his gun at the monster cat as it jumps out from the shadows and pulls the trigger.

　The arrowhead fired with a flash and a bursting sound is accompanied by arrowhead bullets that pierce the demon, and two or three consecutive shots are fired into the frightened place.

It's about time this level was cleared up. Next is the top floor.
'You know what?　Excuse me, Gandalf!　I think you've been hogging all the food for a while now.　If we were to get shot out of the side of the house when we came out, we'd be out of a job!
'You guys traveling to the small fry that can be finished off with pistol bullets would be a waste of magic power no matter what. Where's the need to throw a big rock at the ants to crush them. Save it until the big one comes out.
'Moo ...... I'd resent you if we didn't have a boss class.

　Gandalf lightly listens to the protestations of the disgruntled Hyannil Woman, who is frustrated at being forced to take her time, with a cold look on his face, and then nonchalantly refills his pistol with bullets.

　In the battles up to this point, Alfazul and the Ssangyunri woman have not used any magic power at all.

　For the most part, Gandalf shoots them out, and the rest of them are occasionally crushed by Eavardi with his big hammer, or Fraxinus manipulates plant ivy to tangle and tighten it up.

　Cold and heartless.
　As I was thinking about the fact that you can see Gandalf's temperament even in such a small way, Eil chuckled and gave me a whisper in my ear.

'You seem excited about your new weapon. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
Haasha ......!

　He whispered a surprisingly unsuitable expression, and I looked back and forth between Gandalf in the lead and Ail next to me.

　Excited and frolicking?　Gandalf?

　Did he have that kind of emotional dynamic?

　While being shaken by the very unspeakable surprise, the Wild Hunters walked to the top floor.

　At the top of the stairs was a structure with only one straight corridor, unlike the previous levels.

　And at the end of the corridor, there was a single large door.
　This seemed to be the last room in both name and reality.

　Ivarti, who was about to put his hand on the door, was restrained from behind by Alfazul.

''It looks like we have a big guy. Let's make sure we're properly prepared.'
