Haruhime knelt at the edge of the viewing platform, her golden fox tail swaying behind her.

When the sparkling light shone on Xingjian's profile, the fox girl suddenly held her breath. The jumping spots of light flowed along his brow bone and cast a swaying shadow on his Adam's apple.

The faint line of her clavicle between her kimono collar reminded her of the erotic picture book she read last night...

If we were to take advantage of the time when everyone is watching the fireworks...

If I drag Hoshimi-sama to the storage room...

Wrap your tail around his wrist...

Kissing at the moment of fireworks...

The fox girl's cheeks suddenly turned red, the tip of her tail curled up unconsciously, and she hurriedly covered half of her face with her furisode, but found that she could not take her eyes off Hoshimi's rolling Adam's apple.

Another cluster of fireworks exploded in the clouds, and Xingjian's back, outlined by the light, was reflected in the emerald-like pupils.

"Mama Mia! Another barrel of ale!"

"Ania! Don't stick your tail in the beer!"

"Chloe! Save one of those firework-shaped takoyaki for me!"

Amid the noise, Xingjian looked up at the blooming night sky.

In the distant festival square, a half-elf girl in a starlight dress suddenly sneezed, her fingertips unconsciously tangling with a ribbon the same color as her hair.

"Letsa..." Lanti muttered to himself as he looked at the fire in the sky, "Do you think he will also..."

The red-haired girl did not answer, but placed her hands on the chest of her scarlet kimono, where a wooden comb engraved with cherry blossom patterns was hidden.

Chapter 130 [Shock Gun]

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but Orario Central Plaza was already flooded with people. The faint light of morning light penetrated the outline of the Tower of Babel, giving the boiling square a golden edge.

"Wow, there are too many people here!" The cat girl Anya stood on tiptoe to look around, her furry ears shaking because of the noise around her.

Behind Anya, all the members of the [Hostes of Abundance] were dispatched. Ryu was holding a basket full of supplies, Chloe was holding a glowing sign that read "Go Hoshimi!", and Seele and Haruhime had both put down their work at the tavern.

The people of Orario crowded in front of the makeshift viewing platform like a tide, and the black sea of ​​heads stretched all the way to the foot of the Tower of Babel.

The air was filled with the aroma of grilled sausages and the sweetness of mead, and vendors pushed their food carts and moved flexibly among the crowd.

"Specially made magic stone telescope! Five Faris for one!" The cries of hawkers rang out one after another.

The excited children rode on their father's shoulders, their little hands constantly pointing at the twelve magic mirrors suspended in the air.

"Good morning everyone!"

A sudden, resounding roar silenced the entire audience. Ibri Achar, clad in a flame-patterned cape, rose from the center of the stage. "I'm still the announcer for this hunting competition! I'm a member of the Ganesha clan, a talking fire mage—Ibri Achar! Nicknamed Fire Inferno Flame!"

"I am Ganesha!"

Ganesha descended from the sky, his golden armor shining in the morning sun. When he landed, he crushed half of the podium, and the square instantly erupted in deafening cheers.

The twelve divine mirrors lit up simultaneously, revealing a panoramic view of the Gran Forest far outside of Orario.

The morning mist lingered among the towering ancient trees, and the figures of monsters could be vaguely seen moving through the forest.

"This competition is truly a stellar lineup!" Ibri waved his arms enthusiastically. "First up, the Loki Familia team! Level 6, Lady Livilia, the Nine Demon Princesses, and Alysia, the Garden of Purity. Can they defend their title with their thousand-year-old elven archery skills?"

The magic mirror switched to an image of elves gracefully drawing their bows, and Livilia's emerald hair fluttered like a flag in the morning breeze.

"Next up is the dark horse of the war games—Hiromi, the Hephaestus family's 'Wanji'!"

The scene turned to a black-haired boy wearing a denim suit and holding a machine gun. Tsubaki beside him was laughing and ruffling his hair.

"[Wanji] Xingjian, in the war game, crushed [Ishtar Familia]'s Level 4 Tammuz with his astonishing shooting talent! It's said that his personal strength is even greater than that of the elves, and his special magic item has an astonishing range, with a firing speed comparable to the elves' continuous arrows!"

"Finally..." Ibri's voice suddenly rose an octave, "A specially invited legendary contestant! The supreme being who has presided over hunting since the Age of Mythology!"

The image in the magic mirror suddenly froze on a blue-haired figure.

Artemis was stroking her silver bow, her moonlight-like eyes sweeping across the forest. Just one glance made the nearby monsters freeze collectively.

Ibri's voice trembled with excitement:

"The bow and arrow are the eternal symbol of Lady Artemis! When mortals were still hunting with flint, Lady Artemis's arrows had already pierced the sky of Olympus! Even after sealing her divine power, she is still recognized..."

"The strongest archer in history!!"

The roar of the entire audience was like a physical shockwave, vibrating the glass windows of the upper floors of the Tower of Babel. The cheers echoed back and forth between the buildings, startling a flock of albatrosses perched under the eaves.

"Master Artemis! Look this way!"

"Goddess, please give me your autograph!"

"Bet placed! Hephaestus Familia newbies are 20 to 1!"

Amidst the boiling crowd, Anya suddenly hugged Liu's arm tightly and said nervously, "Meow! What's going on? Meow! Lady Artemis has come out in person, and Xingjian is going to fight a monster that's out of the ordinary? How can he win?"

"I, I believe in Hoshimi-sama, nyan..."

Chloe was also nervous.

"I originally thought that Senior Livilia was the biggest opponent... but I didn't expect a legendary being to appear..."

Liu unconsciously clenched his fists, his emerald eyes fixed on the boy's calm profile in the magic mirror.

Xi'er, standing nearby, gently pressed her chest. Even through the divine mirror, the oppressive feeling emanating from the blue-haired virgin goddess as she hunted still made her breath hitch.

It's really hard to get along!

She and Artemis (the virgin goddess) still don't get along.

"Dear audience!" Ibri's voice suddenly rose in a long drawl. "I now declare the 3rd Orario Hunting Tournament officially open!"

The scene in the magic mirror switched to the vast Gran Forest.

Morning mist flows through the coniferous forest, and sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled golden leaves. This is the proving ground for novice adventurers, and most of the inhabitants are weak monsters (goblins) that even farmers without "God's Grace" can kill alone.

Ibri continued in the commentary booth:

"Special note on the scoring rules! Regular goblins only get 1 point, but hitting their eyes adds 0.5 points! Horned rabbits get 2 points, and hitting their horns gets an extra 1 point! Monsters with higher agility get more points. In the end, not only the total score counts, but also the accuracy of your hits affects the final evaluation~"

“I am Ganesha ahhhhhhh!!”

………………

As the competition officially began, more than 100 adventurers ran quickly towards the depths of the forest.

In this competition, all the options are evenly distributed to areas in four directions. Adventurers need to walk there and hunt all the monsters they encounter. The deeper they go into the forest, the higher the monster's score will be.

Therefore, adventurers need to go to the middle area to obtain the highest difficulty score, and shoot the monsters they encounter along the way to gain points.

Gran Forest, North District.

The morning mist has not yet dissipated.

The adventurers from the northern area rushed into the depths of the forest.

The silence of the forest was broken by the crisp sound of a bowstring.

Artemis had unknowingly stood on the branches of a towering ancient tree, her long silver-blue hair fluttering in the breeze, her eyes as clear and cold as moonlight, and the silver bow in her hand glowing faintly.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"

Three arrows shot out from the air and accurately pierced the eyes of three goblins who were chewing wild fruits. They didn't even have time to scream before they fell to the ground, twitching and losing the ability to move.

"Wow! The competition has just begun, and before the other adventurers can even react, Lady Artemis has already taken action, earning 4.5 points in one go."

Before the commentator Ibri finished speaking, the hunting goddess standing on a high place shot her arrow again with her terrifying eyesight and accuracy.

Twelve arrows drew graceful arcs in the air, accurately hitting a group of goblins again, and even a unicorn rabbit hiding behind a tree trunk.

Commentator Ibri excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, Goddess Artemis is truly amazing! The goblins in the north area have already been cleared out by the goddess of hunting!"

The audience erupted in deafening cheers.

"Is this the power of a god?!"

"It's too fast! I can't even see the way she draws the bow!"

"As expected of the Hunting Goddess!!"

……

Gran Forest. East District.

While Artemis was quickly hunting monsters in the northern area, Livilia Rios Alph was also not standing still.

Standing in the clearing in the woods, her emerald hair gleaming in the sunlight, she closed her eyes slightly, feeling the flow of the wind, and then...

The longbow in his hand instantly burst into an emerald green light. The next moment, several arrows wrapped in magic power shot out and accurately hit the unicorn rabbit jumping in the distance.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each arrow accurately pierced the horn of the unicorn rabbit, and the sound of shattering was heard one after another. The members of the [Ganesha Clan] who were observing and recording on the scene were shocked.

"As expected of Livilia!"

The members of Loki's family and the elven adventurers shouted excitedly.

The elves' archery skills are truly unmatched!!

This is not just a casual remark.

……

Gran Forest. South District.

Xingjian and Alicia of the [Pure Garden] of Loki's family were on the same team. The two adventurers quickly moved through the dense forest. The surrounding goblins sensed the danger and fled in all directions.

"Hey, Xingjian." Alicia, the discipline committee member of Loki's family, turned her head to look at him, a confident smile on her lips. "I'm looking forward to fighting you, don't let me down."

Xing Jian did not answer, but gently adjusted the weapon in his hand. It was not a traditional bow and arrow, but a peculiarly shaped gun with a cold metallic luster on the gun body.

"Hmm?" Alicia frowned slightly. "What kind of weapon is that? It's not a bow?"

"Shock gun." Hoshimi answered briefly.

Props: Shock gun.

Effect: It looks like an ordinary gun and has the effect of attacking the enemy and making them faint, but it does not have the effect of a fatal blow. It cannot exert its power when the opponent is on guard (see "Nobita and the Animal Planet"). In addition to being effective in ordinary space, it is also effective on the seabed.

The shock gun is Doraemon's weapon, just like the air cannon. It appears many times in Doraemon theatrical versions, just like the air cannon, air gun, and bulletproof cloak.

It is one of Doraemon's main weapons.

Because this hunting competition mainly focuses on hit rate and accuracy, Xingjian chose a shock gun with a faster firing rate as his weapon.

Of course, this weapon can ensure that the monster can survive. After all, if you take out a high-powered weapon and blow the monster to pieces with one bullet, how can you get an accurate score?

"Shock gun?" Alicia was visibly stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Interesting."

The elf said no more, quickly drew his bow, and shot the arrow like a meteor, accurately hitting a goblin climbing a tree trunk.

"boom!"

The goblin fell to the ground, and Alicia had already put on the second arrow. Her movements were smooth and the arrows flew out one after another. Each shot was extremely accurate, even three points faster than the average elf archer.

The 40-year-old elf girl glanced at Xingjian proudly, wanting to see Xingjian's surprised reaction.

However, the next second, Alicia's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Da, da, da, da—!"

Hoshimi's shock rifle fired at an alarming rate, its bullets hitting every goblin's eye with unerring precision, without missing a single shot. The goblins didn't even have time to wail before they convulsed and fell to the ground.

"What...?!" Alicia's eyes widened. "This kind of precision... how is it possible?!"

In the audience, the originally noisy voices suddenly quieted down for a moment, and then broke out into even more intense exclamations.

"What kind of weapon is that?!"

"It's actually faster than an elf's arrow?!"

"The newcomer to the Hephaestus family... is indeed extraordinary!"

Xingjian ignored the reactions of those around him and just observed calmly, his eyes fixed on the deeper part of the forest.

The real hunt has just begun.

………………

"See you...Xing?"

At the same time, the half-elf girl Lanti, who was watching the game at another location, suddenly froze in front of the snack stand, and the honey bread in her hand fell to the ground with a "click".
