As we get deeper inside the cavern, the only sound our ears can hear is the voice echoing inside our heads. Although playful noises fill the silence, the only living beings roaming inside the cave are just the three of us. I can confirm it. When I view my map, the only thing that becomes available is the three markings, which indicate our position.Speaking of maps, I have one in my system. But when I check the landscape of the cave, it shows me nothing but a dark place filled with fog of war. Fog of war is referred to as enemy units, and often terrain, being hidden from the player. For now, Chloe and we are the players. Thankfully, the more land we cover, the brighter the map becomes, letting me view the landscapes of the temple.For now, we have yet to encounter anything out of the blue… not until the torches begin to lessen and the light at the farther side of the hole becomes dimmer. Chloe has to emit light out of the tip of me… the gun, just to create the perfect luminance to see

“Are you familiar with hand signs, movements, or whatever they call it?” I ask, voicing my concern.Chloe and Prince Faelar look at each other at first before shrugging their shoulders. Prince Faelar afterward raises his hand, hoping he can somehow guess his way from my question.“Is that the part where mages use hand signs to cast a spell?”If only I had a head, I would’ve already shaken it. “No. That’s possible, but it’s from a different franchise. We don’t do that here.”“Now, hand signs are like these….” I say, and begin my lengthy speech, hoping this can save us later.And then… we finally move forward.There is a cliff in front of us. So Chloe and Prince Faelar have to be careful before reaching the bottom. Thankfully, Prince Faelar and Chloe manoeuvre their way and descend to the ledge, where we meet face-to-face in front of the den of freaking spiders.Looking them up close is different. These arachnids have multiple eyes, which are eight of them, if I am not mistaken. Each ey

“I… I see,” Chloe reacts, and nods. “I’ll do just that, Kuro!”And so, Chloe does the job. As soon as the princess reloads the gun, she uses the first [Meld] bullet and adds water and ice elements on the shell. The floor instantly changes. It doesn’t turn into something, but the entire ground becomes slippier and more difficult to move in. Furthermore, the temperature decreases… Naturally, because the [Meld] bullet fills one fourth of the area with ice that is nearly impossible to thaw. “Brr… It became chilling, Owari. Do you feel that?” Chloe reacts, and grits through the cold.The Prince feels the same thing as he hopelessly brace himself with his own hand and shakes his head. He then mumbles to himself how he regrets not bringing any coat to protect him from the cold. If my face is showing right now, my mouth would’ve already curled downward. “I’m a gun, remember? I can’t feel anything, unless they’re emotions - the cold one, you know?. Now that’s a different thing,” I kid around

We have one major problem. It’s not about the plan I have mentioned but the arachnids circling and obstructing our way. If we don’t deal with these midget spiders, we will have to face them even before performing our task.I voice that concern to Chloe and the Prince Faelar about the situation. For a second, nobody can come up with an answer. Everyone thinks that dealing with the swarm of spiders hinders our plan. We have to make an escape plan while fighting against these small-fries of an enemy. And that is when the guy beside us shows up and becomes useful. The Prince is the one who stretches his mind to come up with an answer. His veins pops up on his head, despite being a few years younger than us. Prince Faelar is also desperate enough to want to help. So I let him be. This is the best opportunity for him to fight and gain experience in surviving while using his spells to its utmost value. Basically, this occurrence is a test for him to prove his wits.“You know how flame wor

Chloe does what she has instructed her and begins making her move. She uses seven bullets to protect Prince Faelar while using the rest to repair the icy slide. The seven bullets, which is also a lucky number, does the job and kills a couple of spiders in the area. Some still get loose and hit Prince Faeler. But just as I have suggested, Prince Faelar shrugs the pain away and manages to steer him out from trouble, at least for now.It takes Chloe twenty magazines after a minute, and she hits them all. Dozens of windows congratulate us about the experience and money we have received for killing these small-fry monsters, and they appear before our eyes. Prince Faelar blinks a million times whenever he sees these notifications. But he neglects the alert and focuses on what I have instructed him to do. And now that I have realised it, Chloe has shot a total of three hundred bullets. And all of them hit their targets. I am reminded about the past battle experience Chloe had and messed up
