episode_0033

I set the tablet down on the ground and glanced around for a moment. The leopards were staring at their fallen comrade, momentarily stunned.

And over there.

Chae-chaeng!! Chaeng!!

The fierce sound of flames and wind clashing as they collided with each other.

“Grarrr!!”

Even the resolute battle cry of Lager.

It was somewhat amusing to see him calmly drawing a picture, but there was no way I could help Lager any further.

I drew grenades like a madman. If you omit some details, grenades are a very economical weapon that you can draw a handle on an egg-shaped head and stick a metal ring in between.

I summoned several grenades, stuffed them into the pockets of my uniform pants, and picked one up, throwing it at the leopards who were standing idly by.

Kwaaang!!

With a roar, the leopards were torn apart and sent flying. Realizing that standing idly by would only lead to destruction, the leopards finally rushed towards me.

Clang.

There were about seven leopards left.

Now they were numbers that could be dealt with even with a submachine gun.

I waited for them to come closer and then fired the submachine gun. As the trigger was pulled and flames spewed from the barrel, the leopards screamed and fell.

Dudududududududud!!

Although the destructive power was somewhat lacking, there was no burden to fire wildly with a girl’s body due to the lack of reloading.

The pungent smell of gunpowder and the strong smell of blood lingered thickly in the air.

I took out the tablet, checked my equipment once again, and was about to go support Lager, who was fiercely clashing weapons, when.

“Ale! Behind you!”

Surprisingly, Lager shouted towards me.

When I turned around to see what was behind me.

I was already pounced on by a leopard and fell.

There was no time to react. The leopard quickly lifted its foot and pressed it against my left hand holding the submachine gun with its claws.

“Kuk…!”

I had no weapon in my right hand. I tried to struggle, but the leopard’s front paw was too strong.

In the end, without holding the gun, I was just prey in front of a beast.

Growling with bared teeth, I was just a helpless civilian who couldn’t even respond to the demon attacking me.

At that moment.

Suddenly, something flew through the air, cutting through the wind. At the same time, with a thud, the leopard fell to the ground, leaving only a sound of surprise.

It was Lager.

“Hey! Are you okay?!”

Lager’s urgent voice.

As I wondered how he had saved me, I immediately raised the tablet, took out the sniper rifle, aimed it at Lager, and pulled the trigger.

There was no time to hesitate.

And.

Bang.

“Kieeeek!!”

The left shoulder of the creature rushing to tear Lager apart was pushed back, blood spurting out.

It was a close call.

I ran towards Lager, who was running towards me. I grabbed the halberd and ran towards him.

“Heuk, heuk….”

“Ale! Just wait a little longer!”

It was quite heavy. It was nothing compared to the K2 rifle I had in the military. Did you ever complain about how hard it was to swing this thing around?

Living in the same environment as me for a lifetime, maybe he could be so heroic unlike me.

The halberd was so heavy that my arms kept dropping and my breath was getting harder to catch.

I gritted my teeth and charged forward.

As Lager approached, he threw the halberd horizontally towards Lager and pulled out his gun, shouting at the same time.

“Behind!”

“I know too!!”

As Lager grabbed the halberd, he quickly turned his back and incorporated the rotation to swing the halberd forcefully.

Just as he was about to grab Lager in a single step and leap to block his attack in mid-air, the guy desperately reached out his nails to fend off Lager’s attack.

With a loud clang, for a moment, his body was lifted off the ground.

“Please…!”

Bending one knee, he took aim with the sniper rifle, pulling the trigger.

Bang!!

With a deafening gunshot, blood splattered, but instead of hitting the guy’s heart, his left shoulder flew off. A fountain of blood gushed from the empty space where the guy’s left shoulder used to be.

“Kraaaaah!!”

The guy clutched his arm and screamed. It was regrettable that he couldn’t finish it in one shot, but aiming accurately at a moving target in a seated position was extremely difficult.

There was no time for self-reproach. He had to finish it quickly. He concentrated again, looking through the scope and aiming the muzzle.

This time, it’s the head.

It must end…

He thought as the guy disappeared, shouting, “Boring! Boring! Boringggggg!”

In the blink of an eye, the guy reappeared in front of him.

Before he could even bite his lip, the sniper rifle was cleanly severed from the guy’s hand by his nails. Lager’s halberd, thrust out belatedly, was too slow compared to the guy’s speed.

“Later, read the compound of the upper case, Chalari!!!”

Charging towards Lager, the guy’s neck started to twist strangely as he swung fiercely. Lager briefly grabbed the halberd and focused as much as possible to track every attack with his eyes, but…

“Ugh! Ah…!”

Gradually, his body slackened. The guy’s speed, wildly slashing with his nails without mercy, increased.

As Lager struggled to catch up with the guy’s speed, the saber-toothed humanoid shattered the blade of the halberd and deeply impaled Lager’s shoulder with his sharp nails.

“Ack…!”

“Chalari, look at the ‘saber-toothed humanoid from another world’!!!”

“You read that boring novel yourself, you jerk!”

“Ughhhhh!!!”

As Lager groaned, the guy’s neck twisted gruesomely once more.

Lager firmly grasped the guy’s hand, which had plunged his nails into his arm, and shouted at me.

“Hey!!”

I knew exactly what it meant to grab the saber-toothed humanoid’s arm with all my might.

If you can’t shoot a moving target, tie it up.

Instead, finish it in one shot.

I quickly lay down, aimed the gun, and looked through the scope.

Inside the scope, the struggle between the bleeding Lager and the guy trying to pull his hand out continued.

Finish it in one shot.

Even if it’s a bit forced, shoot him in the head.

I held my breath. The crosshairs in the scope moved towards the saber-toothed humanoid’s head, bleeding.

The guy knew it too. If he couldn’t create distance here, he would die. So he tried to pull his arm out with all his might, but Lager grabbed not only that arm but also his other arm, biting down on it and holding onto the guy.

A squelching sound came from the guy’s chin. His deformed face twisted unnaturally, then…

Crack. Crack.

“Screaaaam!!”

The man bit into Lager’s elbow, gritting his teeth and trying to dislocate the bone with all his might in an attempt to escape.

Lager shouted again.

“Now, do it!!!”

That crazy bastard… His arm was about to be torn off, and he was making that kind of noise.

But it was as he said. He sacrificed his arm to pin down the man’s head.

Now.

One.

Two.

…Please!!

Holding his breath, he pulled the trigger. He had to be careful, as he could accidentally hit Lager.

Fortunately.

As the man holding Lager’s arm let go, his head flew off.

As the man collapsed, Lager also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in that spot.

“Lager, Lager!!”

Forgetting to dismiss the sniper rifle, I ran towards Lager. Lager’s arm, bitten by the man, was so mangled that the broken bones were exposed.

“Hey, your, your arm….”

Lager chuckled. Seeing his hazy eyes, it seemed that he had lost consciousness due to losing too much blood.

“The arm….”

With a slowly fading voice, Lager mumbled and smiled faintly.

“…I gave it to a new world.”

“You crazy bastard!”

Making jokes at a time like this, it’s definitely a life-threatening situation.

Suddenly, a portal opened behind me, revealing an instructor leading a large group of survivors.

“Why the hell do you always show up after everything’s over! That’s why people keep dying all the time!!”

In a fit of anger, I cursed at the instructor.

Despite Lager muttering something about setting up the scene while his voice was fading, I pretended not to hear.
