The sea beneath the pier was turbulent, and something might actually appear.

"It's still impossible for him to appear."

"Ahh... what a pity."

Xia slumped on the ground, looking very depressed, her rabbit ears drooped, and her previous domineering look was gone.

Shia murmured dejectedly, "Could it be that my love isn't enough? How is it possible..." Hajime smiled faintly and reached out his hand to the furry rabbit ears, stroking them to his heart's content.

"How should I put it? I don't think you can do it."

"Why, do you doubt my love, Mr. Hajime?"

Shia reveled in the feeling of her bunny ears being stroked, but was devastated by what Hajime said. Hajime shook his head, indicating that it wasn't what she thought.

"How should I put it... I'm not saying you're bad, but I think that kind of thing stems from negative emotions. The aura they exude, rooted in negative emotions, is causing us to hallucinate..."

"Oh... is that so?"

Although she didn't quite understand, Shia blinked and thought: So Hajime had done some research, then her ears curved and she thought, "So what does Hajime-san want to say?"

Hajime smiled even more broadly, pulling Shia towards him and stroking the rabbit's ears harder.

"In other words, that kind of emotion isn't suitable for Shia. Besides, even if there's nothing 'behind' you, don't you already have these beautiful bunny ears on your head? You should be satisfied. At least that's enough for me."

"Ugh... I hate my lack of experience. I don't know how to react in a situation like this. I want to be more feminine..."

Shia was shy and embarrassed, and coyly let Hajime caress her rabbit ears, pressing her body tightly against Hajime, while her rabbit ears also rubbed against Hajime's hand coquettishly. At this moment──

"Haha, Shia is really something you can't let down."

"...Hmm, a nice surprise attack. But... it's wrong for you to abandon me, your master."

"!"

The rabbit ears suddenly stood up as if they had been electrocuted, and Shia looked back stiffly, like a machine that had forgotten to be lubricated.

The scene before me was, of course,...

—Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!

—Roar!

There were two people standing there, behind them was Miss Prajna who was tapping his shoulder with a large sword, and the Thunder Dragon who was roaring like thunder, both of them had very bright smiles on their faces.

"Then, retreat────!"

Xia immediately ran away like the wind.

"...You can't escape from Miss Yue's clutches!"

"Shia, let's have a good talk!"

Yue and Kaori chased after them, and then there were explosions and screams. For some reason, the residents of Enison applauded and cheered, "Today has begun too──!"

With his back to the clamor, Hajime stared straight out at the sea.

Then he uttered a word—

"The city on the sea is truly a peaceful place."

People call this behavior escapism.

◆A dragon gives birth to a dragon, and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix?

As a dry cracking sound was heard, several flashes of light broke through the air.

The electromagnetically accelerated bullet flashed red light, striking the approaching wolf-shaped monster squarely. The direct hit didn't just leave a hole, it practically shattered it.

"Hmm~ Once Mr. Hajime uses his divine weapon, it won't be our turn to intervene unless we're trying to clear a large maze."

"It can't be helped. At medium to long range, even magic looks like a circus before the master's meticulously crafted divine artifact."

While being attacked by dozens of monsters, Shia and Tio were still chatting leisurely. Kaori said with a wry smile:

"Rather than a divine artifact... it feels more like science fiction to me."

Yue tilted her head and asked, "...SF?"

"SF stands for Science Fiction—scientific fantasy. While our world has firearms like the one Hajime-san uses, electromagnetic acceleration is impossible with a pistol-sized weapon. It's still considered a 'weapon that exists only in the imagination.'"

"As for the technical obstacles in that area, they were solved with the miraculous power of 'magic', so in the end, the style is still fantasy."

After killing all the monsters, Hajime walked back, spinning Donner in his hand.

Sitting on Hajime's shoulder was Myuu, who was clutching Hajime's head, wiggling her little legs and screaming with joy.

They were monsters, but she had just witnessed dozens of them being blown up in first class... yet she looked incredibly happy.

"Dad! Dad! Myuu wants to use that too! Myuu wants to use it, bang bang!"

say it one more time!

Miu looked very happy!

As long as it doesn't involve Hajime, Kaori is basically a person with common sense. She raised her eyebrows and said:

"Hajime-kun, this really isn't good for education. His smile is so innocent and cute, but he speaks like a gangster. I'm worried about Myuu's future."

"Ah~ That's true, but you know, this world is dangerous."

"...Well, Kaori is too naive. Kill before you're killed. Even if you won't be killed, you'll kill. As long as your eyes meet, you kill first. Your motto is one kill a day. Cross rivers of blood, cross mountains of corpses, crush all obstacles, and achieve your wishes... This is the world."

"Too much bloodshed! What end of century setting is that?! This world is certainly dangerous, but it's not that barbaric!"

Kaori's complaints exploded like gunpowder. Yue sleekly ignored Kaori's complaints, turned to face Myuu, and asked in a deliberately suspenseful tone:

"...Do you want power?"

"No, Yue, that line—"

Hearing that line that seemed familiar, Hajime's cheek muscles twitched.

Of course, Hajime's words were ignored, and the little girl replied excitedly:

"Myuu wants it! Myuu wants to bang the enemy's power! Just like daddy! Like daddy!"

Yue nodded majestically.

“…Okay, then Hajime will give you strength!”

Yue hinted to Shi with her eyes: That's it, just let her fire a few shots?

Hajime's cheeks twitched even more. After all, letting Myuu fire a gun with a Donner wasn't good either physically or in terms of future education...

However, Hajime's rare conscience was shattered in the next moment.

Myuu jumped down from Hajime's shoulder and leaned against Yue's side. They both tilted their heads and asked in a pleading manner, "Is it not possible?"

"sure."

"Isn't it falling too fast?!"

Hajime didn't take Kaori's complaints seriously.

Hajime took out a few ores from the "treasure house" and immediately began to "refine" them with a burst of red lightning.

Hajime didn't have a firearm with low recoil that wouldn't hurt Myuu.

Then let’s make firearms for children right here and now.

The father's love for his daughter burst out along with the red lightning.

He had to use his talent to fulfill his daughter's wish, and his concentration at this time might be even greater than when he created Donar at the bottom of the abyss.

Thus, a small gun was born. If it had to be named, it could be called "Dona".

This gun is a bit underpowered for killing creatures, but it's perfect for fun. It's a refined children's revolver that showcases the Alchemist's skill.

Myuu stared at the gun, his eyes gleaming with excitement, like a child waiting for a birthday present. However, this present wasn't a cute doll, but a lethal weapon.

"Myuu, I'm going to teach you how to shoot now. You have to promise Dad that you won't pull the trigger without permission."

"good!"

What a spirited answer, it really doesn't sound like a child holding a lethal weapon in one hand.

"Hey~ Is this okay?"

Kaori said in confusion, but her words disappeared empty in the wind.

Thus began Dad's shooting lecture.

Shi set up a target ten meters away and taught Mu to shoot in the Weaver stance.

"Myuu, although I've reduced the recoil a lot, it's still quite strong. You don't have to force your grip on the gun. If you feel something's wrong, just let go. Got it?"

Myuu nodded at Hajime's advice, her cheeks flushed as she pulled the trigger without hesitation.

With a bang, a quick gunshot rang out, and the "Dona" bounced upwards, and the bullet didn't even touch the edge of the target.

"Well……"

"It's not that easy to hit. I practiced a lot."

Myuu seemed very dissatisfied, but Hajime comforted her with a wry smile and placed the spare bullets next to her.

“Mr. Hajime, Mr. Hajime, I want to try it too…”

Shia said shyly. Apparently, she'd seen Myuu shoot and gotten interested.

"You have Druken's bombardment mode, right?"

"That's true, but that's a different matter. I also want to try to shoot accurately like Hajime-san."

"I just told Myuu that it's not that easy to do, you know?"

Shia doesn't really want to practice shooting, I guess. Her mentality must be the same as "wanting to play target shooting at the night market."

The evidence was Yue, Tio, and even Kaori looking at Hajime with eyes full of expectation.

Hajime sighed, shrugged helplessly, and loaned Donal and Hulak to them.

Sia took the lead first. She gripped the Donal with both hands and pulled the trigger.

"I'm about to cum, huh!"

Her arm vibrated, and the bullet flew off into the distance. "Huh?" Shia tilted her rabbit ears, firing the six loaded bullets in succession, but...still missing. She used her arm strength to suppress the recoil, but that seemed to be using unnecessary force.

Beside her, Tio, who had taken over Hulak, also came to challenge...

"...This goes against simple principles and is quite difficult to control."

Although Tio used the dragon man's arm strength to stabilize her arm, she was still unable to hit the target for the same reason as Shia.

Yue and Kaori each took Donal and Shulak from Shia and Tio, and they excitedly began the challenge.

"...Kaori, the target is over there. Where are you aiming?"

"... Light, the same thing to you. The target is facing forward. Are you shooting at the birds in the sky?"

The result can be known from what the two said.

Basically, Yue had used a Donard before, and Kaori had seen how to use guns in movies, so she could probably hit the edge of the target with about five or six shots, but... honestly, her results weren't much better than Shia and the others. "I clearly hit Hydra's head..." Thinking of her previous beginner's luck, Yue couldn't help but feel depressed.

Hajime smiled wryly and said, "This is normal."

Just at this time……

"Dad, I want a target!"

For safety reasons, Hajime kept an eye on Myuu. Hearing Myuu's words, Hajime smiled and was about to add more bullets... but suddenly a question came to his mind, because Myuu had mentioned "target", not "bullet".

When Hajime looked back, he saw that the target had been smashed to pieces...

"...Myuu, I'm going to move the target further away."

"Come on."

Anyway, I'll teach Tio a lesson later for saying such nonsense, so I'll try doubling the distance of the target to 20 meters.

Myuu immediately followed the instructions and struck a perfect shooting stance—without even hitting the edge.

Hajime thought he was overthinking it, and fired his second bullet—it clipped the edge of the target.

"Oh?" As Yue and the others were watching, Myuu fired his third shot, which was ten centimeters off center.

"Hey, hey, is this true?" Hajime's eye twitched as he fired his fourth bullet—finally hitting the bull's eye.
