The 3 o’clock bell is about to ring.

The people around him were quiet, waiting for the moment.

Takeo stopped his meditation and opened his eyes.

The ogre is walking just outside the forest.

“…Well…”

He held up his rifle in a prone shooting position.

Takeo was surprised by his own condition.

The shaking and the sweating have stopped. His breathing is back to normal.

Stupidity in a fire? …the effects of meditation? Or… mastery through resignation?

It doesn’t matter…… any of those I’m grateful for now.

Takeo’s body was positioned rather easily.

…First, one blow…

The center will be confronted later…..I don’t want them to run from the confusion now.

Aim to the side…

…exhaling and holding my breath like practice…… I pulled the trigger and heard a thud…

…and about a second later, the Ogre’s wall catches fire…

“Hit.”

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!” 

Cheers rose up from the surroundings.

Takeo was surprised. He hadn’t realized that everyone was paying attention to him until just now.

“The hit was a fluke… Don’t be too proud…”

Once again, he readied his rifle and squeezed the trigger.

This time, it didn’t hit, and a hand of fire went up from behind the Ogre.

… Open fire.

————————

 300 meters from the Ogre.

…Takeo pulled the trigger and hit the Ogre in the shoulder with a “bang”.

The Ogre falls to his knees, but quickly gets up and resumes his march.

“…The hit rate is increasing?… oh… it’s because the distance is shorter.

Takeo’s skills are still not enough to aim at any part of the body.” He was beginning to be able to hit the ogres better.

He thought to himself, “How many more?.”

I stopped thinking about it and immediately started shooting. This time, it seemed to hit the ogre’s body.

… aim… shoot… aim… shoot… aim… shoot. Takeo was able to fire at intervals of about five seconds.

————————

200 meters from the Ogre.

…Takeo pulled the trigger, and with a “bang”, he hit the Ogre in the stomach, and saw it explode a little and collapse…

It doesn’t wake up.

…That was gruesome…

Takeo was surprised at the devastation of the hit.

The explosion after the hit……………….

I had included it as a specification, but… I was reminded that this had a high probability of causing death.

What a disgusting weapon made…

Takeo continued to shoot despite this thought.

150 meters from the Ogre.

…Takeo pulled the trigger, and with a “bang”, he hit the Ogre’s face, and it fell…[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Dang… I accidentally aimed for the center… Hmm? Hmm?

There’s something glowing around the waist of the ogre next to the one Takeo just killed. 

…

Takeo pulled the trigger, and with a “bang” the ogre, whose waist was glowing, was hit in the chest and fell.

The goblins stopped their march.

..

.

What? …well I have to shoot now…

Takeo changes his stance from prone to crouching and starts shooting.

Alice had been watching from behind the whole time.

“…Takeo-sama…aren’t you hitting too much?”

She couldn’t help but mutter that.

Alice didn’t know that much about the history of warfare, but she had never heard of a magician who had killed nearly thirty ogres by himself.

She was stunned.

Even so, it would be a hazard if such a weapon ever became available.

No wonder Takeo-sama wants to regulate it.

And he’s already fired more than a hundred rounds.

“You said I was out of your league, but…

You too, Takeo-same.

…hmm? …has the ogre stopped moving?”

The moment Alice thought that.

“G-G-GRAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The goblins let out a yell.

I can see the Ogre in the lead and the Goblins following behind running towards.

“The wait is almost over…”

Alice drew her sword and focused.

 On top of the castle gate, a group of drunkards were making noise.

“What can I say…

Takeo is out of his league.”

“That’s true… hitting an artillery target at 600 meters.

I’ve never heard of it.”

“That’s right.

1st Kings guard squad leader, has any wizard in King’s Landing ever hit this distance?” King Azupal asked.

“I don’t have all the records in my head, but…

I don’t think so.

But to defeat 30 ogres by himself…

That’s unheard of…

It’s definitely a medal of honor.”

“Medal of Honor… What is it with the Elvis family?”

“I don’t know what to say…” Elvis looked puzzled.

“How can you produce two outstanding figures at the same time?”

“I mean… Alice used to be normal, and Takeo came into our family unexpectedly, so…

I have no intention of…”

“Why don’t they come to me?”

“Because he has a different level of nostalgia and tolerance?” William says.

“…I have less than Duke Elvis?”

“No, no you do. …but as far as the capital is concerned…”

“…exclusive.”

“Yes, I suppose that’s the difference, so I doubt they’ll appear in King’s Landing in the future.” William chuckles.

“Well… Count Elvis… if you find any good ones, please introduce them to me.”

“I don’t think it’ll be that easy, but I’ll let you know if I find one.”

“Hmm? What is it?… a sudden roar.”

King Azupal looked at the goblins and said,

“…We’ve entered the next phase, haven’t we?”
