As I walked through the town after leaving the General Guild, I couldn't figure out where they got the information, but the townspeople thanked me and bid farewell. There were even many people seeing me off at the gate with the gatekeeper. Honestly, it was embarrassing all the way until I left the town.
"Ah, yeah... that was embarrassing. Well, now that I'm away from the town, no one is around, right?"
I stopped walking on the road leading to the Royal Capital, confirmed that no one was around, and then opened the menu to check the vehicles in my hangar.
"Walking to the Royal Capital would take too much time and be tiring, so let's use a vehicle. Which one should I choose?"
My options are... a motorcycle or a car. Hmm... alright!
"It's better to be safe even if there's an attack. Let's go by car."
I summoned the Humvee 1151.
"Yeah, it's as impressive as ever. This is a military vehicle! Wait, what's this!?"
I was astonished looking at the weapon attached to the gun mount.
"The only one who could have done this is him!!"
While saying that, I tried to connect with God, but no matter how many times I called, there was no response in the communication.
"....ugh, it's not connecting! ...In that case."
After that, when I called Meltenas, she answered immediately.
'Hello, Ms. Elaina. Calling so early in the morning, is something wrong?'
"Yes, actually, God did something again."
'Again!? Can't believe that person never learns...'
Yes, indeed. God has been accessing my arsenal, equipment shelves, and the like without permission, customizing my weapons and vehicles for his own amusement.
When I previously questioned why God could just access my menu on his own, the response was, "Well, I had set it up so I could access it before I gave you that power! Of course, I won't do anything strange." However, that God is definitely up to some peculiar antics!
"I've been asking him to return everything to its original state after customizing, but that god just ignores it!! Haaah... Well, getting angry now won't help. But why do I even have something like this in the first place? I don't remember obtaining such an ultra-rare weapon."
'Come to think of it, the other day, while smiling, that god said, 'I got something good, so I'll show it to Elaina-chan! She'll surely be delighted!' Could it be... this?'
"I'm absolutely sure it is! I didn't have this at all!! And, well, I really wanted it!!"
The weapon attached to the gun mount of the Humvee 1151, the GAU-19B (12.7x99mm specs), is a weapon that can only be obtained through gacha. In the game I played, only about fifteen people were said to have this extremely rare weapon.
"How did God get it? I wanted it too, but I never won it in the gacha."
'Well, probably, I think he copied the original and put it in your arsenal.'
If that's true, it's quite dangerous!
"If the administrators find out, they'll forcibly freeze my account, won't they!?"
"Please don't worry about that. In your case, you're not in the game world, you've incorporated the game data from the game you played in your past life into your body. So even if it is modified, there's no risk of having your account frozen for unauthorized modifications."
Uh, um... so it's okay to modify it as much as I want since I'm not logged into that game?
'However, this time, he truly handed over something incredible to you. I believe that with just this, you can probably take on a hundred soldiers of this world.'
"No, no, it's impossible with just one. If I had three, I might understand."
'Why is that?'
"If we think about a straightforward countermeasure, deploying skillfully to both sides and flanking with bows and magic should lead to victory. Plus, I can come up with other methods as well."
Dealing with a group of enemies is easy, but handling scattered enemies is challenging. Because you have to point the muzzle in various directions, it creates vulnerabilities, leaving openings as you can't cover every angle with your line of sight.
However, Meltenas just started to giggle.
What? Did I say something strange?
'In this world, there are few people who can think like you. Besides, you should understand the range of bows and magic, right?'
"Um, the usual range of magic is fifteen meters, extendable based on proficiency. In this world, the range of bows is about eighty meters, but realistically, hitting a vital point is possible only up to around thirty meters, right?"
Meltenas showed a look of interest and then began to share her knowledge of this world.
'That's right. As I mentioned earlier, if the military in this world thinks about dealing with someone like you, they would gather numbers and charge. If a hundred people don't work, then use two hundred people while shooting magic and arrows during the charge. And if that doesn't work either, increase the number of people and charge again. Many people in this world have that kind of mindset.'
What a terrible way to fight. That's scary!
'So in this world, there are few individuals resembling generals from the Three Kingdoms or the Warring States period. Moreover, there are times when nobles who don't know the first thing about war become famous for leading armies. Scary, isn't it?'
"Uwaa... huh? I feel like there was something similar on Earth... oh well, never mind that. More importantly, I'd better get going before someone finds me."
'Yes, indeed. It's a waste of time to stand here talking.'
"Yeah, and besides, God mentioned yesterday that the capital is livelier than Gozes, with more coming and going. So, it's better to secure accommodation first, he said."
'I'll talk to him regarding the unauthorized customization. Also, Ms. Elaina, in this world, when traveling on roads with horses or carriages, keep to the right side. Well then, if anything happens, please contact me again.'
"Yes, thank you very much, Ms. Meltenas."
After saying that, I cut off the communication, got into the driver's seat of the Humvee 1151, and started the engine.
"Now then, let's go for the first drive! Oh, I didn't know the Humvee was an automatic!"
After releasing the handbrake, I stepped on the accelerator and started moving.
"Mmm! It's comfortable, isn't it!? Should I speed up a bit more?"
Currently, I was driving at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour on a road with good visibility, and since I couldn't see any obstacles, I thought of increasing the speed a bit more.
"Let's not. It's better to drive safely, and at this rate, I should arrive in about fifteen minutes... huh?"
There was another carriage up ahead. The traffic between the Royal Capital and Gozes seemed to have increased compared to two weeks ago.
"Well, whatever. Let's overtake it."
I said so and approached the carriage from behind, activated the left turn signal, pressed the accelerator a bit to increase my speed, and overtook the carriage from the left. Then, easing off the accelerator, I returned to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, putting some distance between the carriage and me.
When I passed by, the person driving the carriage looked really surprised. Well, anyone would make that face if they saw something they had never seen before.
'Warning! Danger detected at 12 o'clock, potential enemies.'
Thanks to God, I had the radar upgraded from a radius of 200 meters to 500 meters after the first day of my reincarnation. It was really helpful, but why were there enemies near the road? Were they adventurers acting like bandits again?
I stopped the car on the side of the road, visually checked the road ahead, and noticed something a little away from the road that I couldn't identify. I took out binoculars to confirm.
"That's this country's knight order. The ones they're fighting are... orcs!? No way! There weren't any reports of such creatures!!"
The knight order was fighting five orcs with four knights, and the battle was clearly in favor of the orcs. One of the knights was someone I recognized.
"Those people... Well, let's consider this a favor."
After saying that, I opened my menu, stored the ACE32, My Beloved Gun, and switched to another gun, the Marksman Rifle SVU OTs-03 (7.62×54mmR bullet). Of course, I didn't use the GAU19-B because there was a risk of annihilating the knight order and turning them into splinters.
Now, the preparation was complete. I couldn't shoot the orcs from here, so I needed to move to get a better angle...
I started moving to help the knights.
A/N:
Weapon Introductions
Humvee 1151
A military vehicle manufactured by AM General, the 1151 model is a type that can be fitted with additional armor.
Trivia outside the work:
The U.S. military, between the years 2018 and the 2030s, chose the Oshkosh Corporation's L-ATV as the successor to the Humvee. Starting from 2018, the numbers of L-ATV were gradually increased, and a complete transition is expected to take place.
GAU-19B
Developed by General Electric, this Gatling-style machine gun uses 12.9×99mm ammunition and is capable of firing an astonishing 1000 to 2000 rounds per minute. The U.S. military has adopted the GAU-19A for various applications, including fixed armaments on reconnaissance helicopters and V-22 Ospreys. Models compatible with vehicles like the Humvee have also been produced.
The GAU-19B is a lighter version of the GAU-19A.
SVU OTs-03
A model that transforms the Dragunov SVD into a bullpup configuration. The muzzle, resembling a suppressor, doubles as a flash hider, and it features foldable backup iron sights. It is a semi-automatic rifle.
A different version, OTS-03A, incorporates a fluted design and operates in semi and full-auto modes by pulling the trigger similar to the Steyr AUG, rather than using a selector switch.
