4. New Weapons (Part I)
"I feel like I need a weapon."
Suddenly, one day, Kawajin Hibiki said the same.
Although the research institute was destroyed and had to be abandoned, Hibiki Kawagami and their work continued, which is why Sakurai strongly advocated that everyone should live together.
Before finding the location of the next new research institute, everyone's superpower development was suspended, but the management continued.
Oh yes, let's mention it. In the end, Ushimagawa borrowed money from Kawajin. As for the reason for looking for Kawajin, it is because he looks very rich. Not only is the allowance the highest among the six people who are the target of the study, but there is no consumption on weekdays.
Nakai is a fitness maniac, and his allowance has long been used to buy a large number of fitness equipment, as well as a variety of special-purpose chemical reagents, which are not specifically studied chemistry People can't even name them. Obviously, he stayed in a hotel, but he was warned by the room service every day not to mess around in the room.
As for the three girls, Yu Dao is not very familiar with them, and compared to borrowing money from women, it is really better to borrow money from the same sex.
This is, a matter of dignity!
Borrowing money from a woman, I feel like I can't straighten my waist anymore as a man!
However, he never thought that from the moment he borrowed money, his status was destined not to be too high.
However, as Yu Daochuan said, Kawa Shenxiang is not bad for these little money, and he teased him half-jokingly for a while, so he didn't continue to embarrass him.
Today, because the institute has temporarily ceased operations, everyone has become very idle.
Nai Mi went to a nearby gym.,Ushima River seems to have a new work on sale.,Stuffy in the room playing games.,As a result,Kawa God made an invitation.,As a result, only four women were present.。
Igarashi grinningly occupied the bed in Kawajin's room, kicking off her shoes, and the wild bobcat-like woman unceremoniously occupied the spare bed in the double room, leaning back on the soft backrest, her hands crossed behind her head, and her short orange hair pressed down.
At Igarashi's feet, Rin Yotsunomiya sat on the edge of the window.
Today, she wears that heavy green cotton coat as always, giving people the illusion of a broken sense of the season. It's summer now, and under the fluffy hem, there is still the [reserve of Japanese female high school students] declared by Shinomiya, that is, the so-called miniskirt and stockings between the bare skin of that beautiful girl. The long black hair poured down softly, wrapped in a cotton hat and a black scarf, and the reason why it was black seemed to be because black absorbed heat and could make Shinomiya feel warm?
Different from Igarashi's casualness, the whole person of Yotsunomiya sat upright, like a good student, with his hands crossed on his knees, one casual and one formal, this stark contrast highlighted the unreliability of this meeting even more.
Of course, Shimazaki Chiyuki will not refuse to spend time with [Hibiki Brother], this girl who also has a certain affection for Kawajin Hibiki wishes there would be more opportunities like this.
She pulled the chair over the room and turned around to sit down, the back of the chair that was originally used to support her back became an armrest to support her arms, and Shimazaki Chiyuki's red coat was carried on it, and her arms were folded, and she folded her soft place and leaned her chin over.
And the most important character, Miss Sakurai Haruna, sits on the other bed in the double suite, although she is the oldest of the group, but for women, 25 years old is definitely not a very old age, and there is no sense of disobedience with a group of young people.
This rational researcher with long cherry pink hair is rare not to wear that uninteresting white coat today, with a beige shirt on her body and a light blue one-step skirt on her lower body, the overall match is quite fashionable, and a gemstone necklace is also hanging around her neck, and the soft sapphire brilliance adds to her beauty.
The current Miss Sakurai is more like a magazine model than a researcher.
The four women in Kawajin's room sat in three directions, as if they were three different forces, and in the midst of everyone, it was as if there was an invisible wall separating them.
Seeing this situation, especially after calculating the concentration of the ratio of men and women in this room, Chuan Shen scolded vigorously: Yu Daochuan, this bastard boy still keeps saying that he has a good relationship with women, obviously because you don't take advantage of the opportunity, right?! Half of the time spent playing games is free, and you've already met a pretty girl, okay?! There are so many in the institute!
As for the purpose of Kawa Kamihibiki also taking the initiative to invite everyone to his room today, it is naturally to discuss the previous battle experience.
In the "Tripartite Forces", Kawajin sat on the desk in the room with a big grin, although this action was a bit undignified, but fortunately, everyone in the research institute knew what kind of character he was, so it was not surprising. With his hands in his pockets, the slender young man sat on the table casually, but there was a heroic feeling of falling out.
Before this day, Kawajin Hibiki also fought with Mikoto Misaka and Maino Shenli two LV5s, and the time interval was unusually short! The two intensive battles in a short period of time made Kawajin always feel that he seemed to have found some special feeling of fighting, but if he had to ask him what he found, he couldn't say why.
So, in order not to forget this state, and also, in order not to let the research be swayed by his own family's words, he went to the tip of the bull's horns, gathered everyone over, and prepared to discuss the topic of strengthening his ability together.
As a beginning, Kawajin threw out the idea of the beginning.
Weapons.
Why do humans develop weapons?
Yes, at the beginning, the original intention of human beings to develop weapons was to defeat the beasts whose combat effectiveness far exceeded their own, and the evolution from the simple stone axes and stone spears to the current muskets, artillery, and equipment has always been the main means to make up for the deficit in human combat effectiveness.
Kawajin knows too well that there is an insurmountable gap between himself and LV5, and although he seems to have had the upper hand in the battle with Mikoto Misaka before, he still bullied Mikoto Misaka's lack of experience in [fighting], and it also takes advantage of Mikoto Misaka's weakness that it is difficult to kill humans.
Therefore, when fighting against Mai Ye Shen Li, Mai Ye Shen Li is a ruthless character who can kill the target without hesitation, naturally, Kawajin was beaten very badly, and now thinking of this woman, Kawajin felt that the wound on his broken arm began to hurt hotly again.
To compensate for his weakness, Kawajin thought of weapons.
As a weapon, air requires too much computing power to use, and if it is used for attacking, then it is not enough computing power for evasion. In the case of water, you can carry a bottle with you, but compared to these, Kawajin still wants a little more conventional weapons as the main means of attack.
At the level of using weapons to fight, Igarashi, who has always relied on high-tech weapons to crush the enemy, is the most vocal among the people.
Although she was making suggestions to her [enemy], this low profile of [Kawajin Hibiki also took the initiative to ask Yuki Igarashi for cooperation] really made her feel happy, and of course Igarashi-sama did not hesitate to give advice!
Hearing the topic of weapons, Igarashi smiled wildly, the orange emanation waved with her movements, like a famous Japanese general in ancient times, Igarashi straightened up from the backrest, and with a wave of her big hand, she almost shouted the line "The enemy is in Honnoji", which is very Japanese stage theater style.
"Of course the weapons are heavily equipped, right?! Heavy equipment is the soul of Yamato! ”
"I apologize to all the Japanese people."
Kawajin complained with an embarrassed wry smile.
He also thought about this kind of thing, and in general, it was a powerful firearm to make up for the means of attack.
But...... This kind of thing, seriously, is too embarrassing.
Among those who are capable, there are many who are not afraid of firearms. Don't say anything else, let's just say that the silk flag that I just fought a few days ago is the favorite, this little female ability person wearing a red shoulder has an extremely good performance on the defensive end, to be honest, everyone is LV4 The ability to control the airflow, Kawajin is not as good as the silk flag favorite on the defensive end, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Knowing that he is inferior to others, it is more embarrassing to be forcibly unconvinced.
Thinking of this, Kawagami couldn't help but put his eyes on Igarashi, but Igarashi was immersed in his "Yamato soul" at this time, and he didn't find this very rude look.
If you use a musket to hit the silk flag favorite, the biggest result is to be blocked and do nothing.
For a person of this level of ability, the musket is very embarrassing, first, it is inconvenient to carry, second, it is very troublesome to use the need to change ammunition, and third, it is not easy to use the high or low, when fighting a low-level ability, the firearm cannot be used, and the firearm will not work when fighting a person with a powerful ability......
It's embarrassing.
Although the mercenary-turned-Kawajin Hibiki also has a good impression of firearms, but I'm sorry, this is relatively peaceful Japan after all, and in a city full of schools, walking the streets with heavy firearms such as Gatling all day and night, isn't this looking for something for yourself? I'm afraid I was taken away by the guards just after I went to the street, right?! Surely it will be investigated, right?!
Although Igarashi's proposal sounded very attractive, Kawajin shook his head and decisively rejected it.
"Hmm, if it's for the powerful, you really should use a shorter weapon, right?"
It was Miss Sakurai who made such a proposal, and as the person who knew the most about the combat power of Kawajin among the people, Miss Sakurai's proposal was always a little more reliable than the others.
Hearing her say this, Shimazaki Chiyuki tilted her head, and her long brown ponytail poured down the back of the chair, and the girl asked in a strange tone, "Why a short weapon?" Not to mention, one inch is long and one inch is strong, why would you choose a short weapon? ”
Chiyuki Shimazaki is a big fan of action movies, and she knows a lot about martial arts in movies.
Kawajin himself had doubts about this, so he looked at Miss Sakurai with Shimazaki. It's the same with Igarashi, who was already upset when she heard that her plan was denied, and her look at Sakurai Haruna began to be unkind.
This weak researcher saw that the three capable people were looking at her like this, her heart was nervous, and her words began to be uneasy, and she tried to organize the language and explained: "Look, doesn't Kawajin-kun have a fluid cutter? It's a great way to cut mid-to-long-range targets, right? There are also wind blades and high-pressure water bombs, and there is no shortage of long-range attack methods, so it stands to reason that it should be a weapon that strengthens close combat, right? Like, daggers or something? ”
Miss Sakurai's words made Kawajin nod thoughtfully, although this suggestion sounds unreliable at first glance, but it is very much Sakurai-sakurai's feeling, this kind of insight based on data and theory. Moreover, the dagger is always more convenient to carry than other weapons, when he was still a mercenary, Kawajin liked the dagger very much, and now he also carries one with him, especially when surviving in the wilderness, a qualified military dagger is simply an artifact - but now that he has superpowers, the basic dagger is basically left with ornamental effects.
"Hmm...... However, Brother Hibiki's words will definitely not be used, right? The cutting power of the dagger is definitely not as good as Brother Xiang's fluid cutter? ”
Shimazaki Chiyuki refuted this, and Miss Sakurai's face turned red, and she lowered her head and muttered, "I, I just thought of it and said it in passing." ”
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the four palaces suddenly said, "Then, do you want to try it?" ”
Try?
This word made everyone scratch their heads, and they focused their eyes on it, only to see that Shinomiya was holding a multi-barreled cannon about the size of her whole person, which was carried on a fighter jet, a fierce weapon called the Vulcan Cannon, but, because it was made of ice, the whole was crystal luster, and the translucent blue and white were superimposed on each other, as beautiful as crystal, exuding a cold air - nonsense, because it was made of ice!
In the other hand of the fourth palace, she carried a dagger made of ice, and she handed both weapons to Kawajin as she spoke.
"Ah...... I'm sorry, but I said I couldn't use it......"
Before Kawajin finished speaking, Igarashi reacted first!
"Oooo This one is so handsome! Pretty! Awesome, this! ”
Should it be said that it is worthy of a person who uses heavy firearms as an arm? Igarashi was like a military fanatic, ignoring the cold of the ice, and hugged it in her arms, as if she was deprived of her body temperature, she shivered unconsciously, but her appearance made people feel that she was trembling because of too much excitement.
“……”
With a silent wave of his hand, the ice cube Vulcan that had just been held by Igarashi quickly fell apart, turning into broken ice and flowing away from her arms, and reforming the ice crystals around her.
"Ahh
Igarashi had a rare look of pity on her face, but Kawajin didn't sympathize with her.
"That'...... What about umbrellas? ”
Suddenly, Chiyuki Shimazaki proposes a fantastic possibility.
"Umbrellas?"
Kawajin was stunned, curious as to why Shimazaki would suggest himself to use this.
Moreover, an umbrella is not a weapon no matter how it sounds!
"Look, it's Huang Feihong's kind! Drink! Ha! Probably so! ”
Shimazaki said, pressing her hands on the back of the chair, and the girl jumped backwards and fell back to the ground, leaning sideways, like a fencer, holding a non-existent umbrella in her hand, waving her arms with a brush.
"And then, doesn't the handle have a curvature? And then you can do the same! ”
Shimazaki said, turning his arm as if the umbrella was spinning around his wrist.
"If you're facing an enemy's flying prop or something, you can also cover the surface of the umbrella with Hibiki's fluid film, and then bounce off the attack! What do you think? Isn't it superb? ”
Chiyuki Shimazaki smiled heartily in a childish manner, this girl who likes kung fu movies and hot-blooded movies on weekdays is excited to be able to show off her movie knowledge at this time!
Kawajin held his chin with one hand, always feeling ......
It seems like...... Can it work??
