Chapter 223:

Dungeon Stampede 2.0 Gunfire

[[[Tatata-PAWN!]]]

“Kyahh!”

“Guah!?”

A gunshot rings out loudly, sending a pointy and intense impression by my proper aspect. In that instantaneous, a myriad of ideas flash by my thoughts.

‘Oh no, I’ve lastly been shot by the JSDF’, or ‘This hurts greater than when the police shot me’, or ‘Whoa, severely? Do not simply shoot out of nowhere!’—that type of stuff.

A number of seconds earlier.

Having completed gathering the carapace of the large purple scorpion, Serai-san and I headed towards Shark’s Excessive Faculty. We regarded proper, then left, and used aura detection to make sure no monsters had been round earlier than stepping out of the shrine surrounded by stone partitions.

Regardless of our precautions, the second we left the shrine, we had been hit by a fierce gunshot from the appropriate.

[Buh! Buhbuhbuh!]

“Kyahh!”

Having been shot earlier than, I instinctively tried to return to the shrine, however Seira, who was experiencing gunfire for the primary time, panicked and stumbled ahead.

So, I could not flee and depart her uncovered, leading to extra bullets raining down on us.

[Babachi! Bisbisbis!]

“Guahhh!”

The armor on my higher physique protected me from the JSDF’s automated rifle bullets. Nonetheless, the comparatively much less protected space from my waist to my hips allowed scorching bullets to pierce by the gaps within the go well with.

“Egetsu-san, are you okay!?”

“Do not look again! Run with all of your would possibly!”

There is no time to suppose. The one technique is to run away. Whether or not it is a Kind 89 or Kind 20, we simply want to flee past the bullets’ vary.

…..

“Wait, Serai-san! Head east! In the direction of the river!”

“Huh, why…?”

We ran south for about 500 meters, sprinting all the way in which. Within the alleys lined with homes, I directed Seira who was working forward.

“The enemy is the JSDF. They’re in all probability advancing in a line to keep away from flanking assaults. If we hold going like this, we’ll run into one other squad!”

“What, actually…!?”

“Let’s head east and escape to the river! I am going to work out the remainder as soon as we get there!”

“Significantly!? But when it is the JSDF, should not they perceive if we discuss to them??”

Even JSDF troopers are human.

They should have been preventing a relentless battle towards monsters spilling out of the dungeon through the second Dungeon Stampede.

On condition that, it isn’t stunning in the event that they’re on edge and trigger-happy. In the event that they see us wanting like monsters, we will not blame them for capturing with out query.

“Properly, with the Pixie Queen’s assist. Ouch…”

“Oh, you bought shot earlier, did not you? Are you okay, Egetsu-san?”

“It’s extra like a burn from the bullets’ warmth. A lot of the bullets had been stopped by the Bug King Go well with’s armor and the lubrication mucus.”

“Are you actually okay…?”

Within the cramped spherical house, Seira reaches out to test my waist.

It is exhausting to see for myself, however based mostly on the ache, it is principally burns. Just a few bullets penetrated the armor deeply sufficient to trigger important injury. Nonetheless, I took about ten hits.

“Are you alright, Seira? You look high-quality on the skin.”

“Sure, I am high-quality. I used to be actually stunned after they abruptly shot at us, however the Queen’s armor protected me.”

She exhibits off the shiny, gunmetal go well with, certainly unscathed.

“Wow, it is actually robust… As anticipated of a boss-level monster’s carapace from the tenth underground layer. The Bug King Go well with, comprised of a fifth layer boss, does not examine.”

“Hehe, how do I look? Nice, proper?”

She proudly puffs out her chest, displaying her ample bosom. It isn’t intentional, nevertheless it’s spectacular sufficient to admire.

“Phew… However I am glad we’re not damage. I used to be actually scared once I realized we had been underneath assault by the JSDF.”

“Yeah, it is actually surprising to be shot at by the JSDF.”

The space was about 100 meters. However there have been humanoid monsters like kobolds round, so it is comprehensible we acquired shot.

“”…Pff! Hahaha…!””

We each burst into laughter.

Being shot at with automated rifles is not any laughing matter. However we could not assist discovering it humorous that we each survived unscathed.

“It is superb we’re nonetheless alive…”

“Certainly.”

“So, what now?”

“Properly, we have drifted fairly a bit… Let’s return to my house. I must deal with my wounds and drop off our gear to lighten our load.”

“Yeah, that sounds good. We needn’t hurry to Shark Excessive Faculty. The development employees can be there, so it is high-quality.”

“Alright, let’s simply float together with the river a bit extra.”

“Is {that a} reference to Momotaro…? If a bug-man such as you got here out of the peach, the previous man and girl would faint!”

“What… How impolite! I am all shiny and divine!”

“You are the one one who thinks that! Oh, have you learnt the African model of Momotaro?”

“No, what’s that?”

“A large coconut floats down the river, singing ‘Zunbibiu-baba, Zunbibiu-baba.'”

“Actually!?”
