126-Lion Beast Capture Operation



The Lioness Monster Capture Strategy Conference

It's too big. I think we can kill it, but we can't capture it, can we? We don't even have a cage.
Wow, no wonder you still have a lot of work to do. I don't think I can either.
I think so too. How could a good story be left untold...?

 But such opinions are dismissed.
 The window flower seems to want the cotton quite badly and will never change its opinion that it is captured.

'Even if I can't, I need the money! That's what this meeting is for! What do you guys suggest? If you can't, I'll ask Master Viville to help you.

 I'm not going to invite Senator Vivir the Dragon to this chutzpah job! This is the most important time for Viville, both as a dragon senator and as an opportunity to make friends, right?

'I'll think of something, just give me a minute! You can't invite Senator Ryu to do your chores!

 Calling Viville is tasteless for another reason as well....
 The dragon is out, and Orin is sure to make a big deal out of it.


★ The lion monster capture plan that each of them gave

No NBC! Absolutely!
(Ryota exercising his right as Commander)

I'm going to jump them with an armored car.
(Midea idea, but Windowflower vetoed it. (Probably because the subject will die.)

Make a stun gun with a long handle.
 The power comes from an armored car with a power cable.
(Anya's idea.)

Make captive net rounds for Carl Gustav's recoilless artillery
 It's like a net launcher for security products.
(Ryota's plan)

Weakens them with tear gas and pepper powder
(Midea idea.)

Pitfalls, motorcycles to lure you in.
(Mogg plan, speaking for Midea)

If there's no cage, the transfer is on an armored car and a rope made of blade-proof material is used to bind them.
(Yukikaze plan, speaking for Ryota)


 Well, with all this, we might be able to catch them.
 That's why I planned a plan.
 In addition, for some reason, the window flower has an implicit authority called the window flower right.


Arrangements

1. Dig a horizontal pit
 Prepare a 3-meter long stick and modify it to make a stun rod.
 Making net bullets for Carl Gustav

2. Stanrod's power source will be an armored car.
  But the power cables for high voltage are short.
  So we'll pull the armored car over near the pit.

 Midea will lead you to the pitfalls on her bike.
  Provoke the lion with a cork bullet and lead it to the pit!

3. Midea returns around the pitfall.
 Standby group must wear gas masks before the lions approach.

4. Window flowers are further induced by RWS 7.62mm cork bullets.
 In parallel, blindfill with distance and guidance lasers.

5. Near the pit, Manya fires a net round at the lion near the pit.
  Drag the whole net down the hole before the lion slips out.

 When the lion is entangled in the net, me and midia will bring it down to a stun rod.

 If it falls into the hole, it automatically triggers the pepper dust and smoke balls.
  It would ruin the eyes and nose, cause breathing difficulties and weaken the lion.

6. Finally, chatter with stun rods until the resistance is gone.
 They're captured when they're too weak to resist.

 That's pretty much it, but we'll figure it out.

Preparations

''Even if you come to another world, modern warfare is a lot of digging holes...''
'Ryota went to buy sticks, so it's fine. We'll be there in the morning.
No choice. Only your husband can negotiate on equal terms with the merchants.

 In fact, a grocery store in a nearby town sold 10-foot sticks, which were easy to get. There were plenty of them in line, however, but I didn't know what on earth they were for. 

 Nevertheless, preparation for modern warfare is always sober and painful. I'm terribly grateful for Mog's ability to dig holes easily. Well, field construction for interception is the old irony.

 As the sun was setting, we finally completed the pit. A tree branch and a sheet were used to make a lid, and finally Mog covered it with a thin layer of soil.

'Mog's concealment is awesome, I'd love to have it for my savage game. Now, everyone go ahead and rest.

No, I'm going to make a netball. Can we use less powder?

 Not only does Manya know a lot about machinery, but she has now mastered the use of machine tools.

'It's a short distance and we're only going to deploy the net, so I'll need a small amount of launcher and explosives, please.

I'll let the grass grow in the soil I covered it with. Do you still have a job?

 Law, the grass is now more concealed by the grass. Midia's excellent, too.

'Yeah, I picked up some bones and rotten meat in town. The window flowers wanted me to scatter them around.

 Window flower instructions. The only suggestion was that it's better to be close enough to lure them in, or maybe they'll come closer if you sprinkle bait on them. Honestly, scavenging for trash in town was embarrassing...

All we need to do now is assemble the stun rods, and get the power supply unit and cables ready.

Jeez, I'll rest up first and then I'll have to learn how to use a stun rod.
Oh, I'll rest, too. I'll show Midea how to use a stun rod.

  Originally I was going to do it alone, so I waved them off, and I did the feeding.

 It's now well into the night, and after I've finished feeding, I take a shower to remove the dirt and smell, connect the cable to the stun gun stick, energize it, check its function, and the work for today is complete.

The work is done. It's only 11pm, I'm getting sleepy at this hour, I'm getting used to the place.

 I transformed the driver's seat into a bed and got ready to go to sleep. But before going to bed, the window flower said that she had something urgent to discuss with me.


* Demon Beast Attack

Ryota-sama, I'm sorry to trouble you this evening. The lion that's been transformed into a hexenbiest seems to have arrived in this area.

 The Demonic Beastification Lion was even hungrier than I imagined.

 He reasoned while preparing his weapon. The only wildlife around here is rabbits. Grazing is also banned after the sighting.

 The rabbits are also hard to catch because their bodies are too big. Even if you do catch one, it's not clear if it will be enough to fill your stomach. The walls of the town are so high that there aren't even any demon goblins nearby.

 Hmmm, this is going to make me very hungry.
 It's too good to be true, but I could eat carrion.

''However, I'm worried about being visited by an armored car. If it doesn't fall into the pit, leave it alone.

 The armored vehicle itself is not a problem, but if the machine tools inside the vehicle break, they are difficult to repair.

 Mithril is strong and highly resilient, and the CNF synthetic resin has stronger heat resistance and rigidity than aramid fibers. Still, the total armor thickness is only 22mm. Although it was designed to be resistant to swaying while traveling, an external side-impact could throw off the precision machine's accuracy.

''That's true.  I'm not comfortable going to a girl's bedroom, even if it's in the same car...

 Well, I just curtains off the living quarters, but I ended up asking Mog to do it. I've slept with Midia a few times, but I'm not good at things I'm not good at!

I'll prepare to fire net rounds through the upper hatch. Midia and Manya prepare the stun rods in the rear hatch. Window Flower will replace the RWS machine gun with cork bullets.

 A lion prowls around looking for carrion.
 It feels like a safari park at night.
 And the lion, caught in the carrion, falls into a hole.

'By the sound of its cries! If he gets tangled in the net, Anya and Midea will poke him with stun rods, and Windowflower will immediately fire a corker with the RWS machine gun.

 Sansho powder and poison oak smoke, and then a cork bullet. It looks quite painful and the lion is in a defensive stance. It's motionless, so I fire a captive net round to entangle it as much as possible.

 A weak back blast of net bullets occurs.
 It shimmers and illuminates the meadow at night for a moment.
