"? A real man, a real man, a real man, a big man, a big man, a big man, a big man, a strong man..."
The rapid ringtone of the mobile phone woke Kamiyagawa from his sleep.
He ended the date and temporary team building last night and sent the little witch back to Juqiong Shrine. It was already very late.
It's rare to sleep in today.
Kamiyagawa turned over sleepily on the bed, and felt a soft and cold touch first.
However, this feeling is fleeting and disappears in an instant.
Only the smell of rose mixed with benzoin was left on the pillow.
This aggressive but not at all unpleasant scent belongs to Mary.
Kamiya, who was a little accustomed to this, didn't pay much attention to it. He continued to fumble around on the bed with his fingers, and finally found his mobile phone, and pressed the answer button in a daze.
"Hello……?"
"Boy, aren't you up yet?" Uncle Yuki's voice was on the other side of the phone.
"Um……"
"You asked me to look for the firearm in the warehouse, and I found a suitable one."
"Huh?" Kamiya, who was still half asleep, immediately became energetic and sat up from the bed, "You tell me, I'll listen!"
…
It was already in the afternoon when I met Uncle Yuki.
The two met directly in Kamiya's low-rent apartment.
The finishing work of the Yusei Incident is still quite complicated, so the uncle has not left Tokyo recently.
"I have a meeting later, so I'm leaving soon." Yuki smoked a cigarette at the door before walking into the house. He didn't say anything nonsense after entering, and took out a very retro pistol from his arms.
He handed it out, "There are very few firearms in the warehouse, and even fewer that can fight war ashes. You can see if this one is suitable."
It was a flintlock gun with an exquisite appearance, a transparent sandal red color, and about 25 centimeters in length.
The gun body looks very heavy.
Kamiyagawa actually didn't do much research on firearms, and after staring at them for a while, he didn't see anything interesting.
Then I heard Uncle Yuki add: "This flintlock pistol is called 'The Banshee'. Don't think it's old. Extraordinary firearms that can cause effective damage to monsters are basically old items. That's it.
The revolver I have on hand is considered a new weapon among the spirit-killing firearms."
"oh."
Kamiyagawa stretched out his hand and picked up the [Mourning Banshee].
At the same time, the cell phone in his pocket buzzed and vibrated.
Probably because he touched an extraordinary object, "Kaitan Monogatari" released identification information, but Kamiya didn't look at it right away.
Yuki Makisuke: "According to the internal analysis report, this gun can withstand one war ashes forging, which basically meets your requirements. In addition, although [The Banshee] has slow reloading, the gun cannot fire continuously.
It's a problem, but its ability to eliminate spiritual energy is very good, and the power of a single shot is even greater than that of my revolver."
When it comes to comparing ordinary firearms against humans, it is very simple and straightforward.
Caliber is justice, range is truth.
But when comparing the performance of spirit-expelling firearms, we cannot look at them with ordinary eyes.
It's not about science, it's about metaphysics.
Sometimes there is even a weird situation where a Springfield rifle does less damage to Kaitan than its ancestor, a matchlock.
There is absolutely no place to reason.
According to Uncle Yuki's introduction, the flintlock "Banshee" is compared with his m1917 American Smith & Wesson revolver. To put it simply -
Banshee's attack is high, but its attack speed is slow.
The single shot damage of the revolver will be lower, but the advantage is that it is easy to reload and can be fired continuously.
Yuki Makensuke: "Oh, and also. The background of this 'Banshee' is not small. According to the corresponding records, it should be William Adams, a British demon hunter who migrated to Japan at the end of the Warring States Period.
It’s the gun that comes with the Miura Anzhen. You’re lucky if I can replace it.”
"What? Miura is a demon hunter?"
Kamiyagawa stopped looking back and forth at his opponent's [Banshee].
"Yes, according to our internal data, he is still a very powerful demon hunter. He has had many contacts and cooperation with the predecessor organization of Special Operations Countermeasures."
Kamiyagawa had heard the name Miura Acupuncture once in a history class at school and had a slight impression of it.
Miura Anzu, who was introduced in the history class, was originally named William Adams. He seemed to be the first British man to reach Japan.
He was also the first foreign samurai in Japanese history and belonged to Tokugawa Ieyasu's forces during the Warring States Period.
In addition, the British witcher who traveled to the East...
I always feel that the unfolding of this story is very familiar...
But in this world, there are onmyojis in Japan, so it seems reasonable that there are demon hunters in the West.
Moreover, perhaps it is precisely because [The Banshee] was once the sidearm of a powerful demon hunter that it maintains its excellent ghost-killing properties to this day.
After inspecting the goods, Kamiya, who was not very knowledgeable, weighed it a little and decided to keep the flintlock pistol.
On the one hand, he trusts Yuki Makensuke and doesn't think his uncle will trick him.
On the other hand, the sister of the black leather craftsman on Takamagahara once said that even if she was given a gun of poor quality, as long as she could fight against the war ashes, she would still have the confidence to use the [War ashes: Gun of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King] to do so.
The weapon is greatly upgraded by replacing shotgun with cannon.
"As long as you're satisfied." Uncle Yuki watched Kamiya put away the gun, and then took out a small heavy cloth bag and threw it to him, "Here are the exorcism iron pellets used in [Banshee]. I paid a hundred for it."
There are 'engineers' in the organization who specialize in manufacturing and repairing soul-killing tools, but the supply of these iron projectiles is relatively small, so you should use them sparingly first."
Kamiyagawa estimated that the "engineers" of the official organization should be similar to the role of master craftsmen.
I just don’t know how the craftsmanship compares to Waku.
Because he was in a hurry, Uncle Yuki didn't stay long, got up and walked towards the door.
"Also, when the organization distributes the bonus in a while, I will call you 50%. Then I won't owe you anything for the actions against the deceased."
"It's easy to talk about." Kamiyachuan followed with a smile on his face to see off the guests.
"By the way." Yuki walked out of the entrance and came to the corridor of the apartment, "Do you need help with the forging of war ash? It is also possible to spend enough contribution points and entrust 'engineers' to forge war ash. Although there is no
The probability of failure is small...but forging war ashes is not that simple in the first place."
"No need...someone else will help me."
Okay, from what it sounds like, the blacksmithing skills seem to be an absolute winner.
"Do you still know such a person?" Uncle Yucheng stood outside the door and lit a cigarette casually. While puffing out the white smoke, he glanced at Kamiya suspiciously, but quickly took it back:
"Okay, then I'll go, there are still meetings to be held. Remember to take the Banshee to the special operations room to make a record when you have time. In addition, show your temporary certificate and you can do it in the training area of the room.
Some basic firearms training. The time available for non-staff personnel to use the training area each week is limited, so don’t waste it.”
"Okay!"
After seeing Uncle Yuki off, Kamiyagawa returned to the room and took out his mobile phone.
On the screen, you can indeed see the notification prompt from "Kaitan Monogatari"——
[Get the Banshee!]
[Item name: Banshee]
