Book 6: Chapter 40
“Your Highness… I don’t want to use this type of weapon…”
“You’ll be fine. Just give it a try…”
Lucia looked at the rifle in my hand with displeasure. Her eyes were filled to the brim with displeasure, as though I had asked her to look at something I shouldn’t have.
‘I really want for Lucia to use one of them, because guns are superior killing weapons compared to bows and arrows. Well, to be fair, that’s not quite one-hundred percent true yet, but it definitely will be in the future.’
I know the reason why elves aren’t willing to use guns. These things will destroy forests, and it’s also the weapon that killed countless elves ten years ago. This sort of weapon was a curse, from the standpoint of elves. However, I feel that Lucia needs this sort of thing now because she’s just an ordinary elf, now.
Lucia’s skills with a sword are considered intermediate level. Lucia isn’t bad, but the people around her are monsters; so it makes it look like all her efforts are failures. However, she is actually a fair bit superior to normal troops and even the imperial guards.
Most importantly, Lucia, now, no longer has the buffs provided by the wind elves. Lucia is truly very weak in her current state, hence, she needs a weapon.
“Didn’t you leave a gun with me before…? I just hung it up. I never used it. Your Highness, that gun seems different to other guns.” Lucia then looked at me and asked, “Is that gun somehow different?”
“Uhm, that’s right. I made that gun specifically for you. You can use that gun, right?”
