422. Closed room, restraint, alone




 I've hatched a new haggler, parent and child slime.

 I want to test it out, so I approach it and put one potato on the other side so that nothing else I'm preparing will hatch.

 Then I fire a restraining shot at the hatched parent-child slime with my gun +10 to stop it from moving.

 My ability is now reduced to all F.

 It's a bit of an unacceptable figure for close combat with the gun itself.
 So I fired a straitjacket to stop the mother and child slime.

 I approached the restrained father and son slime and hit the "child" first with the barrel of the gun.
 It was as if there was no response, as if I hadn't been able to punch the air, and I took down the child slime.

 As it is, he wipes out the child slime and makes the parent slime the hardest of all.

 Then I hit it with the barrel of the gun again - still no response.

'Feeling ...... a little hard?'

 What a tweet, but I'm not sure that's honestly true.

 I don't have the words to reply when people say that I know the hardness of parents who have wiped out their children, so that just gives me the illusion of hardness.
 That's about as subtle as it gets.

 This time, I returned the Arsenic Monster.
 I didn't move, even though I was a haggler, so I hit it with my gun without strapping it.

 But I was still able to defeat it with a single blow, one that had no response.

 Well, but one thing is clear.
 From the response, it's less offensive than shooting a bullet.

 I'm sure of that - maybe.

 We didn't know what it was after all.
 Whenever I came to this world and got a new power, I always checked it so that I could figure out what it was capable of, but it was too strong to test.

...... meh, strong is good.

 If you can't check it, there's a way to use it if you can't.

 I left the workshop and used the transporter room to jump to the first floor of the calcium dungeon.
 From there, I went out to Hashemi and came to the buyer's shop, The Golden Tree.

 There were a lot of adventurers who had brought in their purchases, and the place was quite crowded with adventurers waiting to buy.

 In the midst of all this, Elsa, who had finished her last minute purchase, found me and came running with a flurry of activity.

''Lyota-san! What's going on?

 Elsa, the buyer-master who was coming towards me while calling my name, her actions naturally attracted the attention of the adventurers.

''Ryota, is that Ryota Satou?''
Not as bad as they say, eh? That move, that ability is an E or F average move.
All the time. That's why it's great, right? The achievements are real, you know.

 While the adventurers were gossiping about me, I walked side by side with Elsa, and while heading to the back of the store, I announced my intention to come to her.

'I need you to order something for me.
I'm on it! What do you need?
Tuna, that's two heads.
Well, ...... that gorilla at the time, so it's okay?

 Elsa, who was near me when I got my gun, asked, naturally associating me with that one.
 Behind the counter, into the back room of the store, Elsa turned her head and asked me.

'I can get it right away, but ...... what's going on? What happened to the gun?
It's too strong.
Too strong?

 As I smiled bitterly, Elsa tilted her head slightly in kyoton and asked me back.

'Yeah, it was a gun from ten reincarnations, it was too strong, it was a blow to everything.
Isn't that a good thing?
Essentially. But I'm usually the one who studies how to fight in case something goes wrong, right?
Yes, oh, you're too dependent on it.
That's what I meant.

 The firepower of the gun +10 was producing almost the same effect as when he used the Repetition.
 A one-shot kill of anything, super firepower even if you hit it with the barrel of a gun, which is not how it was originally used.

''Haha ...... That's amazing, Ryota-san. I didn't expect such a reason to not use it on the contrary because it's so strong.
It's not completely unused. For example--I'm sorry.

 I said, and fired a straitjacket at Elsa with my gun +10.

'Straitjackets, you know,'
Yes, sir.

 Perhaps it was partly due to his trust in me, but he seemed unconcerned with being shot with a restraining round.

'......'
......
......
......?
......
...... Um, Mr. Lyota?
Yes.
Is this all you have?
Yeah, is it time to find out?
'It's about time. ...... Huh? Come to think of it, the effects keep coming.
Yes.

 I nodded.
 That's what I was feeling earlier with the father and son slime.

 The restraining time of the restraining bullets has clearly increased compared to when I shot them with a normal gun.

''Like this, a recovery bullet or a restraint bullet. When testing, the more effective it is, the better, I use this one (+10). It's all about how to use it.
'I see! All right. Tuna, I'll get that for you in a minute.
Please.

......
......
......
...... Um, Mr. Lyota. How long will this last?
Um, .......

 I scratched my cheek, come to think of it, I don't know the duration of the effect.
 When I was a father and son slime, I defeated them in the middle.

 The straitjacket, if you defeat the other monster, of course the effect will be there as well.
 That's why I don't know.

''This isn't something I can arrange.
'Right. Let's see if we can't rip it off .......

 I grabbed Elsa's shoulders with one hand and grabbed the restraints with the other, trying to rip them off.

''Gugu-nu ...... puh-uh! No, it's not going to budge. So, I was a Force F right now.
I don't know what to do.
I just need a few more minutes...
Hey, Elsa, what are you doing?

 Ena, the co-owner of The Golden Tree, came into the room and stopped moving when she saw us.

 She looked at me and Elsa in turn, comparing us.

'Secret room, alone with you, restraints. ............ hmm.

 What? What's that supposed to mean, "Hmmm there"?

Hey, hey, hey, Enna?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Enjoy.

 Ena winked at us and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

 No it wasn't!

 After that, the duration of the effect of the straitjacket fired at +10 lasted for twenty minutes.
 That delicate length of time made our defense look like a "desperate B".
