I really liked guns, so I spent plenty of time tinkering with them whenever I could.
At the very least, I understood how they fired.
"Click!"
I pulled it back into place, reconnecting the barrel to the trigger, then looked at the enormous creature.
"Little Black, calculate the launch height."
As I spoke, I slowly turned to face the huge thing. The grenade launcher was loaded with incendiary rounds. At the same time,
a 3D hologram appeared in my goggles,
and as I raised the muzzle, the model began calculating the launch trajectory, finally locking onto the monster.
Before I pulled the trigger, I looked at Poisonous Woman and shouted,
"Come and get me!!"
Poisonous Woman slowly turned toward me at the sound of my voice, and I successfully pulled the grenade launcher's
trigger.
"Clang~"
With a dull thud, the grenade shot out, tracing a high arc through the air before landing right
on its blank-looking face, which seemed to wear a hint of amusement.
"Thump~"
The grenade hit its face with a soft sound. The next instant, the round exploded!
"Boom!!"
Flames shot up into the sky in an instant, and Poisonous Woman let out a series of shrieks.
"Roar! Gah!! Aoo~"
Poisonous Woman had quite a vocal range. At least it could make a variety of sounds. But even as it repeatedly slapped its face with its claws,
even as it covered its face,
it couldn't stop the incendiary round from burning. I was lucky, at least—the grenade had hit it in the face, so I didn't have
to go through any more trouble.
"Aoow~"
Watching Poisonous Woman shriek again and again, I had to admit that I was getting used to facing these creatures. More often than not,
I could even spot their weaknesses at a glance.
