"......This is harder than I thought it would be, this magic gun. It misses a lot."

"At this distance, you may not be able to hit the target simply by aiming with a monocular. The magic bullet floats up after a while after it is fired and then takes a trajectory of falling down. Also, the monocular attached to this magic gun is adjusted to aim at a specific distance. Please take this into consideration when aiming."

　Shoots a magic gun alongside the eye.

　Ai hit the target one after another.

　On the ship, more and more people are getting wounded by Ai every moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that was only because of Ai's skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the same way, when I used the magic gun, I could not hit with such accuracy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look into the monocular attached to the magic gun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Through the lens, I see a cross-shaped sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had been shooting at the target by aligning the target with the crosshairs, but it seems that this is not enough.

　The magic bullet flies in a straight line, but in reality, the trajectory of the bullet changes slightly.

　It is necessary to shoot them based on the calculation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, it was necessary to read the effect of the wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said that it was necessary to aim at the target, considering the fact that it would be subtly swept away by the wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These were more difficult than expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps, it is not something that you should be able to aim and shoot as precisely as the Eye.

　The original use of the magic gun is to control a surface by scattering bullets.

"......Okay, let's change the way. I'm going to shoot at someone easier to hit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I need more practice to master this magic gun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is already a battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, it is possible to get a feel for it in a real battle, but there is no way I can practice with the magic gun here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided that I couldn't hit the target as hard as Ai, so I thought about the best I could do right now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I decided to change my aim.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grougalia's archers on the shaking ship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I couldn't hit them with my magic bullets, I decided that it would be better to aim at the ones I could hit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After I changed my aim, the magic bullets I fired began to hit their targets one after another.

"I see. So you're aiming at the ship itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. That ship is made of wood, but it doesn't seem to be made of soft magic wood. It must be a normal tree. A magic bullet attack will pass through it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Should we shoot at the ship as well?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, ai go straight for the archers. I'll just focus on blowing holes in the ship and stopping them in their tracks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It wasn't people I was aiming at.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a ship full of Grougaria archers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I aimed at the ship itself and hit it with a magic bullet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I thought, that ship is not made of soft magic wood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it had been, it might have bounced back from the magic bullet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had thought that the hardness of soft magic wood might make the attack impenetrable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So it must be made of ordinary wood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hit the wooden ship with the magic bullet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boat itself is not that big, just a small boat for a few people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a small boat that can hold a few people, maybe a dozen or so when packed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wood must not have been very thick in such a small boat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The attackers fired several shots at the same spot in such a violent manner that holes were made in the boat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not likely that the ship would sink immediately, but it seems to be damaged enough to allow water to enter the ship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rowers on board the boat looked panicked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They stopped rowing and tried to remove the water that had entered the boat or to fill the hole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I watched them, I shot magic bullets into other boats as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since magic bullets are fired based on magic power, there is no need to refill or replace arrows like a bow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is also nice that I can fire them without worrying about the number of bullets I have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They shoot magic bullets into ships one after another, flooding them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is also important to aim at soldiers like Ai to reduce their strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I think it's not such a bad idea to damage ships like me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, we need to escape from here with Jumaki.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed to me that it would make sense to make a hole here to reduce the number of the other ship's boats as we row our boats away from the island.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And moreover, it is good to have a tangible result of the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It felt better to inflict damage on the ships that we could hit, even if it was a little random, than to target those that we could not hit as we wished.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The long-range battle continued for a while, with Ai taking the men and me putting holes in the ships.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......They've finally responded. It looks like they are going up to the middle of the river at a distance and coming towards us from there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It seems so. It might be troublesome if they spread out and approach us."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A one-sided firefight ensued, which continued for some time after that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was coming to an end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Grougaria ship was about to head straight for us, but that was about to change.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that they got off the boat at a distant point and decided to approach us by moving over the ground instead of over the water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that they did not want to make any more holes in the ship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the Glugaria soldiers responded to Ai's attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They repelled the magic bullets with their bows and arrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They aimed their arrows at the bullets flying toward them and repelled them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is hard to imagine how skillful they were.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the amount of magical power that welled up from his body was overwhelming the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps he is one of the most famous men in all of the land of Glugaria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, we've bought ourselves some time. I'll let Oliva know and have her start preparing to leave."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing this, I decided to leave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered how much of the juma-gi I could cut down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if we have enough, but it might be dangerous to persist any longer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, after achieving reasonable results in the long-range battle, the stage shifted to the retreat battle.
