Currently, I'm trying to figure out a way to break through the haunted wasteland.

　I was a little attracted to Pina's idea of chasing away the ghosts with a spell song, but that would be too much for Pina to bear. She would have to run at a low speed to weave her way through places that can be run through at a low speed, so she'd have to keep singing for a long time.

　Therefore, I decided to check the effects of Goddess-sama's plan first.

Okay, let's try out the sacred wine bullets first. I waited for night before sniping at the wasteland. After confirming its effectiveness, we'll make a getaway and plan our escape once.

　We then proceeded to the front of the wasteland, and upon arrival, we stopped and began preparations.

　We immediately began to make the sacred wine and prototype sacred wine bullets. If it works, we'll turn all the liquor into the sacred wine.

　Well, sake is still sake, even if it's a sacred wine. If it doesn't work, I'll be responsible for drinking it and that's it. She puts her hand on her shoulder and points her thumb at herself with a serious expression.

　This gape, he read my mind.
　I'm too sensitive to the signs of alcohol.

　Aside from that, I immediately offered the sake to the altar of the goddess and made a money offering and Kashiwa-te ceremony. After that, the goddess will turn it into a sacred wine for me, but is it just my imagination that this method feels like an inspirational business?


★ Old battlefield wasteland/night

　In the distance, only one stray ghost appeared.

　I set up my Simonov PTRS on the roof of the armored car and placed Pina with the 【Orpeus' Lyre】 next to it as a safety measure. As soon as I can confirm the effect, I retreat.

　I thought it would be fine if I made it all into a sacred wine first, but the window flower warned me that if it wasn't effective, the money would be wasted if it wasn't effective....

'This is tricky because the electronics don't recognize the ghost. Windowflower, are the on-board sensors catching it?

Infrared, video, sound, laser rangefinder, and everything else is non-responsive. Even I can see what I see. If we get information on the target's altitude and its current location, we can provide sniper support.

　The distance is about a kilometer, and for the first time in a long time I look through the scope with the naked eye. I tell him the height, bearing and distance of the ghost, and get sniper support information via voice. All that's left to do is fine tune it...

　What's the point of a ghost?
　Are you sure you want to stay in the middle?

We're in close contact. Target altitude lower limit 40 cm, upper limit 220 cm, current distance 980 meters, bearing 176.2 degrees, first shot fired.

　The bullet landed about a second after firing. He aimed for the chest, but the ghost deformed his body and the bullet landed on his right shoulder. Did it have a hunch that the sacred wine bullet was dangerous?

Right shoulder hit, right arm gone. His body is slightly luminous. He is recovering approximately one centimeter per ten seconds.

　Huh?　How do you think they knew where we were?　He's coming right at me!　I don't like horror movies!　

"Pina, the landlord, the protector, and the singer.

　Although Pina's song doesn't have any lyrics, I still understood it to be a requiem (Requiem). That, combined with the effect of [Orpeus' lyre], I can't stop crying either.

　As proof, the ghosts are also stopping and crying. I'm also starting to see the cathedral and Rubens' picture, my dog that died a long time ago is coming to pick me up, and I'm even starting to see an angel.

'Are you a potty?　I remember when you took your last breath, I was so sad I couldn't stop crying the whole time, you know?　But I'm tired of living my life and I'm just so tired of being alive... and I'm just so sleepy... and I'm just so tired. ...rest...

　However, Yukikaze appeared in my dream and slaughtered the angels and potty.

''Lord!　What will you do when the living are about to come to pass?　Get a grip!　If the Lord is going to die now, then Yukikaze will also be a martyr and follow you everywhere?''

　That was a close one.　Vexation!　I have a stack of games waiting for me in Japan!　I managed to recover from the anomaly and return to my sniper stance.

''Thank you, Yukikaze. It's okay now, and no more martyrdom.

　Thanks to Pina, the ghosts have stopped completely. 　　Third shot hits the pigeon tail, target is gone.

Third shot, pigeon tail down, target destroyed. Sorry, I forgot to report the second shot. Good job Pina, the spellcasting can be over now.'

　Maybe Pina's song is more dangerous to me than the ghosts. But isn't it too strong for a requiem song to almost make it to the living?

　No, it could be as great a song and performance as this one. In the future, we should let Pina learn all kinds of songs and tunes and have her debut as an idol with my production!

"Pina-chan, that's a great song... it moved me to tears.
"I'm impressed, too!　It's a sad and tender song, let's hear it again.

　Hmm?　Was the Buddha effect limited to men?　Well, it's still a huge compliment. It's a collaboration between a divine treasure and Archangel Pina, man.

　Later, as we get closer, we see a piece of faintly glowing after the ghost. The mere fact that the miasma of the miasma is a mere mortal disease is not enough.

Maybe it's the miasma (nuclear reactor). It's probably the methane (miasma).

　Midia, why didn't you say that first?　It's like a huge weakness, right?

Maybe that's his weakness, no doubt. It's just that they seem to instinctively feel that the sake is dangerous. It's a surprise attack, but it did transform and avoid a direct hit. It's not easy to get a direct hit except at close range or with a high-speed bullet.

　Do you think you'll be able to scatter bullets with a FA-MAS/G2, which has a high velocity and continuous firing rate, or will you be able to hit it with a Saiger 12 scattergun?　I don't need penetration or man-stopping power, so I'd prefer a lightweight, high-speed bullet.

''There is a limit to the Mikagami sake, but I'll make one impulse water discharge gun for Manya-sama by tomorrow. The rest is an emergency defense sprayer. Ryota-sama and Midia-sama, please use the sprayers, FA-MAS-G2 Goshinshu rounds and Saiga's shotguns to suit the situation.

Please. And I'll put the sacred wine in a water bag to make a protective gear. It should work if we're instinctively avoiding them.

　Now that it's working, we'll move on to preparing for the breakthrough strategy. By the end of the night, we'll change all the liquor into a sacred wine and manufacture armaments using the wine. It seems that ghosts are less likely to appear in the daytime, so we plan to enter at sunrise.

　We have a rough satellite map, but we've calculated that if we leave at sunrise, the night run will take about two hours. However, we want to collect samples as well as break through the ancient battlefield, which is littered with the remains of bugs, so....

I need to see if there's anything to do with bugs that isn't part of the plan. But I'll call it off if there's a ghost.

　With everyone's approval, the mass production of the sacred wine began.
　All the people except for the window flowers went to bed after the production of the sacred wine was finished.


Sunrise

Once we're through the wasteland, we'll head to the commercial city of Altena. But if there's anything related to bugs, we'll stop by. And we'll save Pina as much as possible.

　Even the cooking wine was made into a sacred wine, and since I heard that it works well if it's over 6% in strength, I watered down the dwarf wine except for the material ingredients. But the car was full of sake tanks.

　The fog spray filled with sake for personal use is just like a pesticide, and I hope the ghosts will be able to come out of it with a push. We have to believe that we will be able to go on with this equipment.

　We can't relax during the day, but we'll make up the distance anyway.
