The day had turned into a hot afternoon.

The investigation about the bodies of the bandits I had killed had ended with the slaughter of the black wolf pack. The death of the Alpha, who led the black wolf pack, was a victory achieved, and there was only time left to complete a report to prepare the evidence to the wise king.

While the new General and Doctor Portia were gathering evidence to report it to the King, I was busy reconfiguring the GECAL 50’s weapons system so that it could be controlled via the buttons inside the Humvee.

After a less-than-epic and little bit a boring battle, I needed to rethink my current survival strategy for the future. With the combat data I’d gathered while killing the Alpha of black wolf pack, I understood that a .50-caliber BMG bullet possessed immense power in this eroge world, which capable of taking down a female Alpha, who can using a long-range magic attacks.

Based on my experience as a long-time eroge player, an enemies moving in groups led by an Alpha are rare rarity. By killing the Alpha, it requires considerable effort and skill, as will be facing a large group battle.

In this long battle, a luck by distance and heavy-caliber bullets have been my guarantee victory, so that absolute victory is on my side, and I can survive longer in this horrible eroge world.

This made me think of something...

Without the help of my otherworldly weapon and my Gunsmith skills, I would have surely ended up as a pathetic and weak NPC character.

Along with the wooden box containing .50 BMG rounds, I applied a small magic to touch the GECAL 50’s weapon system, which was slowly glowing under my magic coils. An ability I didn’t know would be this useful, it significantly reduced the time it took to reload the GECAL 50’s weapon system and replenish the Humvee’s fuel supply, which was draining too much magic from my magic core.

Swiirrrrlll...

Swwiirrrrlll...

The reward given by the Goddess of War after defeating the Alpha has made the supply of .50 BMG rounds installed in the GECAL 50 weapon system sufficient for several heavy battles.

I also had to conserve my HK-416 and Glock-17 ammo, which had somehow run low without me realizing it.

Well, Doctor Portia has admitted that she took some 9mm bullets to practice shooting with a copy of the Glock-17 that has become her personal weapon.

On the other hand, Melissa and my stepfamily use 9mm rounds to reload their Glock-17 copies. My stepfamily is still in the intensive training phase to learn to shoot properly, but I’m confident they’ll master the proper shooting technique through Melissa.

While my magic core was working hard to reload the GECAL 50 weapon system and refill the magic fuel on the Humvee, I was surprised by the presence of Chitose, who had just recovered from the poisoning condition she was experiencing.

Compared to the new General, who could recover quickly from the effects of the poison and the torturous antidote potion from Doctor Portia, Chitose’s recovery phase was a little bit slower. Without saying a word and climbing onto the Humvee, Chitose started to sit down by bowing her legs back and placing the katana she had been using in front of her.

Her hands were pressed together in front of her breasts as if in prayer, and several clumps of water formed around them, floating as if defying the force of gravity in this eroge world.

The clumps of water floating around Chitose resemble reluctant raindrops.

This is one of Chitose’s magical abilities, which focuses on her water affinity. It becomes a symbol of serenity, clarity, and elegance created through the ripples of water that spread across the surface.

I don’t want to see it as something excessive in my eyes, but the water droplets are indeed so beautiful in my eyes.

A few drops of water fell on Chitose’s katana, the sharp blade of the katana was wetted by the water droplets that faded the black wolf blood stains that still stuck to the sharp blade of her katana.

Several drops of water that formed a water ball suddenly appeared in front of me.

I don’t know what she meant, but it seemed like Chitose was sharing the water that came from her magic affinity for using various elements. With such friendliness, I couldn’t tell if Chitose was being polite or if she had some other motive to attract my attention to do something.

My hand immediately touched the water ball that was flying in front of me, feeling the sensation of cold and fresh water to clean my face that was sweating during the day.

"Thank you... I guess," I said as I took some of the water that was flying in front of me with both of my hands.

Spplaasshh!!

Sppllaasshh!!

My face, which dirty with dirt and sweat, felt fresher after being cleansed by the fresh water from Chitose. It felt so refreshing that I even thought about drinking a few drops of water between rinses.

Swwwaasshh...

Swwaasshhh...

As my hand moved to rinse my face using Chitose’s fresh water, I heard a thin voice coming from Chitose.

Right above the parked Humvee and the GECAL 50 weapon system being reloaded using my magic, Chitose cast another magic that looked like a rectangular whetstone. Besides the GECAL 50 weapon system being reloaded by a belt of .50 BMG rounds, she leisurely sharpened the katana she had just cleaned using her water magic.

That made me curious about the katana she was using and made me climb up onto the Humvee through the hatch.

Krraanngg...

By entering the interior of the Humvee and letting my magic core work hard to recharge everything related to my Gunsmith ability, I opened the hatch from the inside Humvee and placed my head next to Chitose, who was busy sharpening her katana.

There were two weapons she didn’t use, and they were still in the back seat of the Humvee.

Without saying anything that would upset Chitose, I tried to remain silent and observe her closely.

She, who had just fought on the front lines, looked incredibly graceful and deadly, especially in the attire she was wearing.

Although she wore a modest, discreet training uniform, her body exuded an elegant lewdness. As her hands thrust forward and polished the sharp blade of her katana, I glimpsed her sweaty armpits and the scent of femininity that made me feel at ease as a healthy man.

Communication between Chitose and me was indeed messy; it was not uncommon for us to just be silent for several days without any clear reason.

I don’t know the reason, but what is certain is... I will keep my distance from Chitose through limited communication.

Ssrrrriiittt...

Srrrriiittt...

The squeak of the katana’s sharp blade sparked fire that looked like fireworks, but on a small, controlled scale.

Chitose’s long, black hair, neatly styled like a noblewoman’s, matched the lacy black panties she was wearing. She deliberately showed off her panties by pulling her skirt up, along with her smooth thighs, which were stained with a light dust.

She was sharpening her katana, but her movements were so sensual that I was confused about whether to look at her or keep my eyes on something else, so as not to provoke her hatred to me.

My gaze, which was admiring her smooth armpits, clean thighs, and seductive black panties, moved to the katana she was sharpening.

According to information provided by Doctor Portia, Chitose is descended from a noble family renowned for their deadly sword techniques. This information aligns with the main storyline of this eroge world, where Chitose develops into a heroine capable of producing the highest DPS of all the heroines.

"I see..."

"A katana made from black metal ore that comes from the deepest mines of the Dwarf race, huh?"

"Now I understand... Why are you so disciplined about sharpening it, after using it," I said to break the silence that was happening between Chitose and me.

Glllaarreee...

Glllaaarree...

The answer I got from Chitose was a sharp glance and another silence that tortured my ears with a slight ringing.

"From its different shape design from a normal katana... I can guess, it is designed to become a sharp blade that becomes dull after being involved in several battles."

"What an intense and tough training session..."

I’m just talking and using the knowledge I have from eroge games.

I don’t know what the real reality is like, but Chitose’s still quiet and rarely speaking, as a form of training sessions she must do to stay calm like water.

"..." without speaking and still glancing at me with a sharp gaze, Chitose gave a small nod.

Nod...

Another answer has come, and it adds to the list of nonsense that must keep coming out of my mouth.

"Well, I heard that from the royal knights who were very interested in the weapon you carry. The metal is hard and sharp, but it becomes dull after a few uses... somehow it sounds so troublesome and can train the responsibility of the main weapon you trust in battlefield."

"Yeah, I know that feeling..."

"You see for yourself, right?"

"How I take care of this troublesome weapon of mine."

Baaannnn!!

Baaaammmmnn!!

While saying such things, I patted the top of the Humvee and the GECAL 50 weapons system that had finished reloading the .50 BMG ammunition.

"I know this sounds strange, but there is suitable training to refine the movements of your... who still rough sword technique."

"Try fighting without panties, I’m sure it will improve your sword technique movements even more..."

"Yup~ It does sound weird and a bit perverted... but it will work, Chitose."
