Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara

Chapter 160: Duel with Am

Am Norte Boden Smith, the firstborn of the aristocrat who ruled Norte Boden, the largest city on the North Continent, learned of Snow's marriage and solidified like a stone statue.

"I knew you had an engagement bracelet on your left arm, but how could you marry someone who wasn't really a magician…"

He was struck by Snow's head-on self-introduction. While muttering something rude, he let his consciousness travel to another world.

Ice, a childhood friend from the White Wolf tribe, called out to him.

"Oh, Am, do you have to be so discouraged? Since the days of the magic school, Snow had worn an engagement bracelet when she married a lute."

"No, but to really marry a man who isn't even a sorcerer and Miss Snow, who has the dual name of ‘Witch of Ice and Snow.' It's nothing short of a nightmare…"

"After all, Lord Am, it must be a magician…"

Ice was depressed by his remarks. The White Wolf tribe often produces excellent magicians, but Ice was not a magician.

If the person you're looking for was saying, "I'm not going to marry someone other than a magician …", it shouldn’t feel good.

Am didn't even notice Ice’s favor, he stood up vigorously and pointed his finger at me.

"This can't be helped! Villain Lute! I ask for a duel and bet you on Miss Snow!"

"Who is the villain!?"

"Who is there other than you! You brainwashed and kidnapped innocent Snow from an early age! Isn't it enough, villainous, and sneaky!"

Argh, surprisingly I couldn't refute it!

The women responded to Am's duel declaration.

"Lute isn't villainous or sneaky! And I'm not brainwashed! Rather, I think it's the best luck and miracle of my life to meet Lute as a kid."

[Onii chan is not a bad person!]

"That's right. Shame on you who try to weigh favors by the talent of a sorcerer."

"As the mistress said."

Criticized by Snow, Chris, Reese, and Shea, in that order Am retreated a little.

In addition, Meiya argued with satisfaction.

"Ridiculous! It's completely ridiculous! Judging lord Lute’s talent by magic and appearance! Phew! Well, people who don't know won't know how great he is. Phew!"

Meiya took a ridiculous attitude.

Am was confused and asked.

"They are…?"

"The elf and the girl with the mini blackboard are his wives, the black elf is the maid, and the last is his disciple."

"You mean that he is surrounded not only by Miss Snow, but also beautiful girls who are no less than her… Huh?!"

Yeah, I couldn’t argue.

"This women's enemy! No, the men's enemies! He will be defeated on behalf of gentlemen all over the world!"

Am pulled out the rapier that was hanging from his waist and thrust it. He was completely ready for battle.

"Oh, Am, please stop! If you get injured in a duel, I…"

"Oh, Miss Ice…"

Ice tried to stop him. The face belonged to a girl worried about the man she liked.

Emotions oozed from her facial expressions and her whole body so that anyone could tell immediately that she was in love with the other person.

But Am…

"Rest assured, Miss Ice! After graduating from the magician school, I will use the abilities I have cultivated during my warrior training trip to get rid of the thug and release Miss Snow, who is unfortunately brainwashed. Let me tell you how noble my love for Miss Snow is!"

At Am’s words, Ice bite her lips. Then, he stared at Snow with her murderous eyes.

Her eyes were full of light as she said, ‘This thief cat!'

It seemed that Am wasn't aware of Ice's favor at all. Even though it was so obvious. He was like the main character of any light novel, manga, or anime!

As expected, I was frustrated by his attitude and agreed to the duel.

"I understand. Let's take that duel. However, even if I lose, It is good that she has the right to choose on which one she’ll stay in the end. If you’re going to force a divorce, as a Peacemaker, I´m going to fight it."

"Of course not! I won't bet on the name of the Smith family and force them!"

And we decide the rules of the duel.

・ Do not kill the other party.

・ Winning or losing is determined by stunning the opponent or depriving him of his will to fight.

・ If the referee (a white wolf man is in charge as a third party) stops you, you lose.

・ No matter whether you win or lose, you will not have a grudge.

・ After that, you will never bet on Snow again and will not duel.

That's it.

And we started preparing for a duel without explaining why we brought Am to this temporary village.

In order not to damage the igloo of the temporary village, the duel took place in a remote place. Am trimmed his messy clothes and held the rapier again.

I received from Liz the Saiga 12k, a combat shotgun. Of course, the magazine was a non-lethal Shotshell. I made sure it was.

"Lute-kun, do your best! I believe you won't lose!"

[Be careful, Onii-chan.]

"Don't give Snow to him Lute but be careful not to get injured!"

I raised one hand to respond to the cheers of the brides.

"Am-sama"

"Don't worry, Miss Ice. I'm a magician. Even though it's a duel, I'm not going to take the lives of ordinary citizens that I should protect. And I look like this but I'm good at healing magic. Don't worry if you get hurt!"

The second half of the line was directed at me.

Ice was worried about him, squeezing her hands around her chest.

However, Am was completely unaware of the existence of a beautiful girl who was worried about him. I feel that Ice was really wasted on this guy…

And we also keep a distance from them.

The white wolf man who is the referee said, "Begin! The curtain of the match was open.

Am began to speak without attacking immediately.

"Let's give our name again in honor of you who have the courage to stand in front of me, a magician, even if you are barbaric!"josei

He ruffled his blonde hair like a stage actor and pointed the rapier at me. The only one that was mesmerized by the gesture was Ice.

As a maiden in love, even such stupid behavior seems to be attractive.

"I am the firstborn of Smith Family! A magician B plus class from the human race. They call me ‘The Magician of the Ring of Light and Radiance'! Am Norte Boden Smith! "

Am made his teeth shine like diamonds and turned his face to me. She was so fascinated that I'm worried that Ice would melt.

Is it cool? Hey, is this cool? And what about those two names… Maybe I must think about mine.

I was a little conscious of it, but I managed to stop and say hello.

"Well. I'm Lute Gunsmith, who was awarded an honorary knight by the Kingdom of High Elves, Enol, and the King. I am also the representative of the Legion Peacemaker.

"Well, do you have a title? Then, even if you lost your life here, you would be proud of yourself as an aristocrat. If so, let me be serious from the beginning!"

Come on, you said earlier, ‘I'm not going to take your life.'

But unaware of my stunned gaze, Am took it seriously.

"Spirit of shining light! With thy holy power, appear on earth! Light mirror!! !! !! "

At the same time as the spell was cast, Am's appearance blurred and became 10 people. They all looked exactly the same, and I didn’t know which one was the real one.

"This is my greatest and strongest magic "Light mirror". It is not that I have actually increased, but that I have increased my figure due to the power of the light spirit."

In other words, it was a virtual image due to the refraction of light. Also, a classic technique …

Wondering how he received my stunned face; he flicked his blonde hair again. 10 blond people at the same time. Hey, no, it was quite annoying.

[Fu, fu, fu. He understands that the number of people is increasing, and he is scared. But Mr. Lute would also think: "If I defeat the real one out of ten, I’ll win. And all non-genuine attacks are fake. " But unfortunately … the other nine are certainly virtual images of the Light Spirit. However…"

Nine people except the one in the middle poked the snow on the ground with the rapier. The tip of the sword emitted a glow like lightning.

"Are you surprised? The other nine are virtual images of light spirits, but I can materialize and attack with my magical power. So, you really have to avoid 10 attacks at the same time! Fufufu, are you in despair? This is my power that I learned by going around the world and training as a warrior even after graduating from the magician school!”

This was honestly "awesome”! It should be amazing, but afterimages with no mass, illusions? It was a little troublesome.

Am brought the rapier to his chest and the blade to the front of his face.

"Let's get started, ‘light and brilliance’! The sin of playing with Snow's feelings! You should regret it!”

Am didn't attack right away. He moved from place to place with a quick movement, perhaps because he was assisted by physical strengthening. Without knowing who the real one was, he took a sharp step and 10 people attacked me.

"Lightning Bolt Special Slash … Gua!??”

He foolishly and honestly tried screaming the name of the technique as I squeezed the trigger of the Saiga 12 K Combat Shotgun.

I continuously squeezed the trigger until the magazine was empty. Multiple slingshot ball-sized bullets popped out of the muzzle.

Am had no time to deploy a shield and was shot down with the increased virtual images. He let go of his consciousness and the rapier and fainted.

Alright, I won.

Certainly, it was quite annoying that a virtual image could attack. It was troublesome that one person dealt with multiple opponents at the same time. But that time, I had a "shotgun".

If this was a "one point-attack" gun such as a pistol or assault rifle, it might have been a tough opponent. However, shotguns are "surface-attacking" guns.

If this was a "dot-attacking" gun such as a handgun or assault rifle, it might have been a tough opponent.

But a shotgun is a gun that "attacks on the surface."

Dominating multiple opponents at close range, the shotgun can show off its unique characteristics.

"Am!"

When the victory was confirmed in everyone's eyes, Ice rushed to Am with a blue face.

"It's okay. He just passed out, he's not dead. He might be injured only a little."

This time, the non-lethal bullet I used was like a "multi-ball rubber bullet" that shot multiple slingshot-sized bullets. I didn’t use rubber because it was in the experimental stage. Wood was used as a substitute.

The fainted Am was revived with Ice’s knee pillow.

"As expected, my eternal rival… This game, which was the first of the three games, will be handed over to Mr. Lute.

"Am-sama!? Am-sama…"

Saying only what he wanted to say, Am once again lost his consciousness.

What did "the first of the three games" mean???

When did this battle become a "three-game match"???

However, in a sense, his guts that do not break his style until he fainted were worthy of respect.
