Chapter 43 (2/2)

「That's right I have known this lad ever since he was born Sorrty for not saying anything I was just at a loss, thinking that coht be a little bit too sudden」

「There was no obligation for you to do so, so it's not your fault at all」

Ahaha, guess he's right Can't argue with that

Elvie smiles bitterly, and I shi+ftstill in theme, the boy bowed down his head in a unnatural manner, just like a toy of some kind

「Pleased to ical course in middle school division! It's an honor to meet a Rank 5 Hunter such as yourself!」

「Ahh, the pleasure it all hty hair shooklike stars in the night sky

His ears were really thin and really pointy

As the naborn with a naturally high aptitude for ifted when it comes to artistic expression, so you would often see theers and dancers, but besides of those qualities they were considered to be quirky and prone to change easily It was a common misconception that they didn't show any kind of interest in things other than art

But fro of this boy's hand alone, I could understand that all of his energy and all of his passion was being channeled into developing ical un?」

「Y-Yes! I was helping hiic scheht red, even up until the points of his long ears

「Io-senpai also takes care of repairing the various kinds ofto write hoh Aru praises his senpai like that, he only hung his head while blushi+ng

His hands look kind of rough, but he looked to a gentle person and I found his reactions to be extremely cute

「I'm sorry, there is another member to this club, but since she's not quite ready yet, would you like to see the gun first?」

「Is that so?」

Said Elvie and Aru began to pullto a certain table

The room was littered with small desks, chairs and workbenches, with lots of tools and parts scattered all around them

There, on Elvie's desk, which was neatly cleaned for reason, there was the gun, laying on the shly like from my hand to h the wooden parts looked quite rough and the raved all over the place

「Hoooo~」

While I was adan to explain to me from the side

「For once, it is now possible to store bullets in this cylindrical part, and it can fire up to six shots before needing to reload Afterwards you can even put normal bullets inside of it, but it is kind of pointless when there is no ic in in」

「The barrel itself is based on the revolver formula that surfaced on the market recently, and those parts I sculpted myself, but it was a whole lot of work since Elvie's requests were just so impossible to do!」

「I see …… And this barrel? Was that also handet it, Noct-san! This is the first thing like that, there's none other quite like that out there!」

「Well, yes, and since the size makes quite easy to maneuver, I assumed it must be handmade No manufacturer could achieve such a result」

Sos left ed to do soto the brie are quite soht that, Elvie took out a small cylindrical object form a small box and handed it to me A bullet

「This is a bullet that we crafted ourselves The spell engraved in it is as such to allow even someone like Aru to use it freely」

「Hee, is that so?」

「U like this for reed」

If you take that bullet and exaned to fit all of Aru's unique quirks

It see they said so far wereIt was all truth

「t's a Look, Aru, isn't that well-uides me to another desk, on which other bullets were placed

「Well, would you give this gun a go? Truth to be told, I would like to hear the opinions of other people on this thing in action」

「Oh, is that really alright? Well then, I' to take you up on the offer」

「In that case, let us switch locations to so to change locations, I heard the sound of so the roo girl with fox ears as she was just entering the clubroohtly surprised by the fact that those eyes of hers ide open at the irl, as so startled by that that her whole fur on her ears, head, and tail stood up in an instant It was a reaction similar to that of a startled ani……」

There was also another girl right next to the girl that was called Mikoto, who raised her s to be heard

「Uht be here, and so I was ----」

She was a little girl with hair and facial features similar to that of Elvie, and she looked relieved to see that Aru was indeed here in this room

But then her eyes met with Elvie's, and in an instant her mouth dropped open and her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing

「Big Brother!

「Mar, ca……」

As soon as Elvie saw the girl, his facial expression twisted as though he was upset, and suddenly the room was filled with so much tension that you could easily slice it up with a knife

The fox-eared girl ca the bad situation even worse

「I' aura you were eirl's mouth to not let her finish that sentence, and then I send Aru a ood

I was being serious here, but judging from Aru's reaction he was as surprised as I was here

So, does that mean we've been busted just like that!?

While still holding the girl's mouth shut, I took her under mythe my best and calmest smile onto my face

「Is there a vacant classroom in here somewhere?」

「Umm, we use the classrooonna borrow it for a short while」

I bowedat me, and then off to the storeroom I went!
