Hashimoto Kotone can't remember how he managed to get rid of the ghost.

She looked at her hands, still shaking.

fingertips, it seems that you can still smell the smell of gunpowder.

Hashimoto never thought that he would be able to solve a grudge with his own hands.

Or with a pistol.

This feeling.

“...... It's just like the thrill of the protagonist in "The Tramp with O" when he blows off the villain's head with one shot. ”

"No, Hashimoto-san, please don't use this weird B-movie metaphor, no one can understand."

Asako Asano complained.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I should say that it was the tragic feeling in "Flying over Peak O" when Steel Basta lifted his breastplate and stuffed the retreat furnace into the core of Jupiter's bomb."

Hashimoto bowed his head and apologized.

“...... Even if it were to be an anime, children today wouldn't have seen the anime of 30 years ago. ”

Asano Riko twitched the corner of her mouth.

"No, I've seen it anyway, well, in this way, when I first shot it, I did feel something similar."

Qiao Qiao touched his chin and thought.

"The teacher actually has seen it?"

Asako Asano suddenly felt that the teacher who seemed to be serious and only had a mind full of spirit removal and weapons might be unexpectedly proficient in some aspects.

"Well, as a learning material."

Increases the spiritual power of one standard unit.

Qiao Qiao did not say specifically.

He looked at Kotone Hashimoto and retrieved the pistol from her hand.

"Hashimoto-san, as I have seen, whether it is a resentful spirit or an evil spirit, as long as it is killed, it will die."

"With this kind of power, as long as it takes time, learns how to use firearms, and learns shooting techniques, then it is very simple to remove spirits."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Hashimoto seemed to understand whether he understood or not.

Can you really get rid of spirits?

Wouldn't it be a little strange to use a firearm to remove spirits?

"Look, most of the time, the shrine maiden uses a bow to shoot arrows of spiritual power to remove spirits, but the bow and arrow itself is a weapon of the old era, and then it evolved into a crossbow, and then a gun and a cannon, which can be said to be the evolution of the bow and arrow."

Qiao Qiao explained.

"It makes sense for a shrine maiden to use a weapon to remove spirits."

...... It seems to make some sense.

Hashimoto was ignorant.

Indeed, in the study of shrine maidens, kyudo is a compulsory course, and in addition to using imperial coins and kagura bells to remove spirits, the most used by shrine maidens is the bow.

Bows and arrows are weapons, and pistols are weapons.

Bows and arrows can kill spirits, why can't pistols kill spirits?

Rather, it seems more convenient to use a pistol that only takes a few minutes to get started than a bow and arrow that takes years of practice to become proficient.

Hashimoto Kotone was thinking about something else in his mind at the moment, besides thinking about it.

Isn't the setting of holding a pistol to remove the spirit the same as "HOllsing"?

Speaking of which, in "Sister Saint O", the nun uses a pistol to remove spirits?

Imagine yourself holding two huge pistols and fighting the weird in the moonlight.

Hashimoto Kotone suddenly felt that it didn't seem so unacceptable.

"However, I'm still very afraid of those evil spirits or something, if I hold a weapon, I may hurt other people in a hurry......."

She was still a little hesitant.

Although it is easy to remove spirits with a pistol, Hashimoto Kotone itself is timid, and it is difficult to remain calm in such a terrifying environment infested with resentful spirits.

She still has this self-knowledge, and she won't be carried away by the fact that she has just blown off the head of a wraith with a pistol, and feels that she has finished growing.

"It's simple."

Qiao Qiao didn't think about it, and spoke directly.

"Just keep your distance from the wraiths."

"If three meters is not enough, it will be ten meters, and if ten meters is not good, it will be a hundred meters."

"Hashimoto-san, do you feel afraid of the spirits that are more than a kilometer away from you?"

“？”

Hashimoto didn't understand the tone.

"I see."

Ariko Asano understood.

When the spirit stands in front of it, it is terrifying.

But when the wraith is far away and can only be seen through the screen or camera, then the wraith is no different from the movie.

It can even be considered an extremely realistic shooter.

The teacher's idea was probably to let Hashimoto-san learn the technique of long-distance shooting.

"Look."

Qiao Qiao Googled a picture with his mobile phone.

"This is a CS/LR4 sniper rifle made in China, using a 7.62 caliber, floating barrel shooting, rotating rear pull bolt, in addition to the ordinary optical sight, it can also be equipped with a low-light image intensifier, even in the dark night, it can also visually see the target."

"Although this sniper rifle is heavy and has a reserve of five rounds in the magazine, it is not suitable for actual combat, but it is more than enough for the work of removing spirits."

"What's more, the accuracy of this sniper rifle is very high, at a distance of one hundred meters, the dispersion of three bullets does not exceed two centimeters, as long as you practice diligently, at a distance of eight hundred meters, it is enough to inflict a devastating blow on the wraith."

"This is the equipment that my boss recommended to me recently, but I'm not very good at using sniper rifles, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but I believe that Hashimoto-san will definitely be able to use it easily."

Qiao Qiao glanced at the landing point of Hashimoto's previous bullets.

It depicts the shape of a wraith.

Being able to hit a pistol for the first time is, to some extent, a talent.

“？”

looked at the picture in Qiao Qiao's hand.

Hashimoto's tone raised countless question marks.

Sniper rifles?

Even if you have a pistol, what is the operation of a sniper rifle?

Miko uses a sniper rifle, is it okay?

"In the past, bows and arrows were weapons for long-range sniping of enemies, and sniper rifles were also weapons for long-range sniping of enemies."

Isn't that the same?

Qiao Qiao explained.

Hashimoto seems to be convinced.

Since the shrine maiden can use a bow and arrow to kill spirits, it is also reasonable to use a sniper rifle.

Can it be said that a sniper rifle is a modern bow and arrow?

None of that really matters.

The point is that the process of destroying the evil spirits just now is quick and concise.

Hashimoto felt that it had just begun, and it was already over.

To her, the terrifying, terrifying, dangerous spirit of resentment was so fragile under the bullet.

Even Hashimoto Kotone, who has repeatedly failed to remove spirits, has already stained his hands with the blood of resentful spirits at this moment.

There's no turning back.

She thought so.

Hands have been defiled.

Next, we have to move on.

Hashimoto Kotone looked at Qiao Qiao's sincere eyes and nodded.

"Please teach me the technique of removing spirits."

She said sincerely.

"No problem."

Qiao Qiao replied.

In this way, there is one.

......

In the afternoon, Qiao Qiao and the others returned to the shrine.

The remaining three shrine maidens were all doing their regular cultivation in the morning and completing the homework assigned by Qiao Qiao.

Haruka Sasaki had the highest score, but he was only in his early eighties.

Nanase was one point short of passing.

Ryoko Kitagawa is the worst, less than thirty points.

By the way, Shinki Shinki, who was in charge of supervision, also did the test paper herself.

As for the scores, I'm not too embarrassed to announce them.

Seeing Hashimoto Kotone come back, several people were confused.

How do you feel about the kotone-chan, it doesn't seem to be the same.

Although there was no communication, it is clear that the current tone of Hashimoto has changed somewhat from yesterday's.

What exactly did Qiao Qiao do to Hashimoto Kotone?

Nanase looked at Qiao Qiao, but found that he was looking at his side.

She couldn't help but sneeze.
