An active hunter in Hokkaido was thrown into another world.

73. Wing Dragon

Saran and I will walk you to Mr. Kirif's mansion.

The Elf Kidnappers are no longer answering, so neither me nor Saran have stopped wearing hats and ears. I'm planning to turn it off today.

"Hissing. It's good to see you again. Take your time."

That's how Mr. Killiff came into the salon.

Tea and sweets are served first. They give me something good anyway.

"You know Natral's ranch in Schillerzer, a suburb of Topples."

"Yes, I have exterminated coyotes and bought wool from them, and I have had my lamb conceded"

Yeah, yeah, Mr. Killiff nods.

"That's where Wyburn comes out. Sheep are being hit."

"What kind of demon is Wyburn?

"Er... Sin is surprisingly unfamiliar with demons."

Mr. Kirif takes something like a demonic drawing out of his bookshelf and opens the page to show it to me. Printed copper prints, right? Will it be a print after all if it is a diagram collection?

"This"

... Isn't that Pteranodon?

I thought it was a dragon with winged limbs because I called it Winged Dragon.

What ecosystem is it? How can a dinosaur survive? It's a funny world.

"Wing length 20 nar (18m). If it's about sheep, I'll grab it and take it. It's carnivorous and frenetic. Human beings are not often attacked, but not without examples. Flying is slow. But he's swirling at great heights, so I can only attack him about when he comes down. Lives in the depths, but occasionally comes close to people"

That's scary. Pteranodone in history has a wingspan of 8m and weighs no more than 20kg and can only catch fish. That was already an unfortunate dinosaur. Dynamic movements such as strong wings are very impossible, like gluing around on rising aircurrents along the coast. It wasn't the kind of fierce one that would take a sheep.

Any one of them is, but a flying guy is vulnerable.

It has to be light. Everything is luxurious and fragile.

I don't think he's a scary opponent like he would have a human or something in a movie or game.

It's just that there are no guns in this world, so you can't get a basically flying guy.

"Wing length 20 nar...... Is it twice as good as the guy I know? That's twice as many squares and eight times the volume ratio. Raptors have the ability to lift about the same weight as themselves, so 160 kg of lifting power...... Sure, if you're about sheep, you can lift it. Wyburn weighs about 200 kg, too."

"I'm gonna do some weird calculations. Hey, Sin. I mean, what kind of academics? How do you know Sin the Hunter does that?

"Well, there's through"

Puffy, puffy, puffy.

Put your head on.

Yeah, I feel like I can handle it around my 308 Winchester for the weight of the prey. Unlike a shotgun, dropping what you're flying isn't hard to hit first, but it's big on purpose, and if you're swirling slowly like a tombie, you might hit the outboard. If you come down to fight back, that'll make it easier to shoot.

"Then all you have to do is talk to Mr. Faal"

"Yeah, I was just asking you guys to keep in touch."

Pteranodon's a winged dragon.

This world is strangely realistic.

No, I'd have trouble with that if Tyrannosaurus or something came out.

Parallax............. Turn the page.

Are you there?

It's named "Dino Dragon," but I'm here.

It's Tyrannosaurus.

Something about a brave man knocking him down once.

This one is also big. Total length 15 nar. Is it about 13m?

I hope I don't have to be the wingman to confront you one day.

...... Lyleslime.

A copy of the report I wrote is pinched.

Good. You're sharing information properly.

Next time, I might want to contribute to the enhancement of these materials. [M]

"Sin, that!

Saran followed me.

Yeah, well, I need to hear this.

We're actually on our first wedding anniversary.

"Well, congratulations on that. I envy you."

Lord Kirif is still a teenager. I guess we're not getting married yet.

"So I came all the way here for a trip, but don't you know it's in a hot spring or something?

"Hum, speaking of hot springs, I wonder if it's famous for its Sakz hot springs district in the Mount Mukras valley. It is also popular as a maintenance site and a treatment destination. It's a tourist destination. I've never been..."

"Do you have a map or something that says the place?

Mr. Killiff will give you a big skinned atlas.

It's something that doesn't go out of the door. It's valuable.

"If you go as far south as Topples as this, exorcise Wyburn, and head straight for the King's Capital in the south, break west down Edras Avenue and through the mountains, the hot springs. The streets are well maintained and there are station carriages. It's safe."

"Thank you"

Write the map on paper with a pen and ink.

I really have a ballpoint pen, but you can't just let me out here, can you?

"I'm afraid... you want demonic drawings. Where can I buy this?

"You can buy it at the central library in Wangdu. It is one of the lessons that the nobles should have the knowledge of these demons to defend their territory. You don't have to be noble to buy it, but I'll write you a reference."

That's how Mr. Killiff writes to me about Sarah.

"But a hot spring. Ah. Good. Can I follow you, too?

"Fine, but me and Saran, you've been flirting, haven't you? Is that okay?

"... I stopped. I knew I'd go on my honeymoon."

"Do you have such a congratulatory story to tell!?

"No, not at all. Honestly, not exactly."

"That's a shame."

That being said, Mr. Kirif seems to have fun with Nico.

Push it with suction paper, put it in an envelope and seal it with lol.

It's a reference to the Viscount family. If you take this, you won't be left without it.

"Well, there's no talk of a country lord like me, no talk of a political marriage, and you can manage to hang out with the beautiful daughter of the city and fall in love with her as you please. In that regard, I'm much happier than the Count, who seems to have decided to have a fiancée from childhood already. Ha ha."

... Does Mr. Faal already have a fiancée?

Well, no. If you don't go help him quickly, Mr. Natral's ranch will go out of business. I also have a star that I can defeat.

That day, I did not take on escort duties and normally booked a station carriage.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning.

I'll get out the LED light that day at the inn and write the drawings on my notebook.

We have to derive the formula from this diagram.

A cannon changes the point of landing when fired horizontally and when fired at an angle. This is because gravity changes the direction in which the bullet is pulled.

Simply, it's a matter of geometry. It's troublesome because I have to calculate it with COS (Cosine). Why don't you start by calculating it at 45 degrees. √ 2 inverse, so it's 0.7.

Now, when you shoot the gun horizontally, the bullet falls and hits below.

After firing at 860 m per second, when it hits 860 m ahead in one second, the bullet lands 1/2 gt (2), or 4.9 m below. That doesn't hit me, so I adjust the scope and the barrel is diagonally pointing upwards so that it hits 4.9m at 860m away. So I lift it up once, and then it falls into the mountains and lands a bullet. The barrel is pointing diagonally upwards against the aiming line without exception.

So what happens if I shoot straight up in this setup?

They should be pulled 4.9m by gravity and fall, but they won't, will they? Keep looking at it from the archer. The bullet will fly away diagonally.

So if you shoot straight up, it hits 4.9m upwards from where you were aiming.

I'm going to calculate this. You can see that the formula is (1-COS angle) x drop amount from the drawing.

4 cm at a distance of 100 m at 45 degrees. 12 cm at 90 degrees.

11 cm at a distance of 200 m at 45 degrees; 37 cm at 90 degrees.

23 cm at a distance of 300 m at 45 degrees; 78 cm at 90 degrees.

This is all it hits upwards from where you saw it from the archer and aimed at it.

Write a concentric circle from the center of the torso, drawing a picture of Pteranodon on paper, as a wing length of 20 m. That's the amount that comes off where you're aiming. Now let's remember more or less. I will stick the diagram I wrote that way to the stock of the Remington M700. So it's a simple ballistic fix.

And then how fast are you flying? I don't know if I'll try this anymore. We'll talk about looking at the real thing. Sometimes you're flying very slowly like Tombi and you kind of look like you can shoot it off with a rifle.

Let's hope that's the situation.

"What's that?

Saran looks strange and looks from behind.

"Ballistic calculations"

"What do you say?

"I'm calculating how the bullets fly."

"Heh... But Sin often doesn't know how to do that."

The truth is, it's easier when you have a computer.

Ballistic tables can be easily made with spreadsheets.

I wish I could buy a computer.

Actually, you didn't even say the magic bag would do it once you tried to buy a laptop, did you? Something like this is tied up in the home center.

"I'd like you to leave me alone -!"
