Chapter 112 (2/2)

……and there are a lot of spectators at the venue.

The ministers, soldiers, king, first prince, and second prince who were in the preliminary discussion on the first day as well.

Mitsuha: ”Now then, we'll immediately demonstrate the new weapon. Please observe carefully.”

I said so and instructed His Highness Savas to have a bit of a distance. Then, I opened the gun case which I had put down.

The king and the others? I completely ignored them.

This is a 「display for our dear friend, Savas」 and has nothing to do with the people who just happen to be here. Especially for those who ridiculed me by calling me a little girl and broke down the negotiation themselves.

The matter of dispatching the delegation for the negotiation is only 『if the king wants it』. Since they are the ones who have broken down the negotiation, we don't want to talk to them unless they beg us. His Highness Savas does not have such authority, so he just said, 『If our decision maker asks you, you can still think about it』. The decision maker, that is to say, the king himself.

Though, we won't know for sure whether that king will 『bow properly』, even if he does not actually bow his head.

No, well, we don't care at all whether he bows or not, you see…

Just like before, I put the barrel on the wooden platform, put my right index finger on the bolt lever, and pull it all my might. While watching it, Sabine-chan and Colette-chan grabbed the left and right hands of His Highness Savas, and pulled him a little further back.

Although I didn't care about his ranking before, this is an act to show the intimacy of His Highness Savas and Sabine-chan. If he becomes personally intimate with the the third princess and the Princess Shrine Maiden, His Highness' prestige will rise slightly. He might even get a lot of attention if we hang out together…….wait, don't we already look like hanging out together? So it won't be a concern, huh…

I grabbed one 7.62mm NATO bullet from my pocket, plunged it into the chamber, pulled the bolt slightly while pushing the magazine follower with my thumb, checked the feeling of the lock whether it has been released or not, closed the slide vigorously and put on the safety trigger.

I then put the gun barrel on the wooden platform, aimed briefly, then released the safety trigger, aimed again, and gently applied force to the trigger.

*PAAANN!*

Mitsuha: ”Your Highness, please confirm it.”

There are two 『Highnesses』 at the distance, but it doesn't matter as our only host today is His Highness Savas, the third prince.

His Highness nodded and walked toward the armored doll and I didn't move an inch.

I'm reluctant to leave behind the gun and the spectators also started walking to the target. Hence, I don't want to go there as they might try to have a talk with me. Please pardon me from that troublesome thing.
