Truth is everywhere within range

"Is he an acquaintance of the boss? Haha, when will he come to Hawaii again?"

A strong man with thick arms covered with velvet, wearing a pink lace shirt and a beard asked in English with a slight accent.

"The boss may not have much time recently."

Qiao Qiao replied.

The bearded man standing in front of him was an acquaintance of the boss.

His name is Willy Pierre, a Frenchman who opened a shooting training range and firearms experience center on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The so-called firearms experience center, to put it bluntly, sells guns.

However, at Willy's side, even if you don't have a gun license, you can still experience various firearms. Over time, it has become a special attraction in Hawaii.

There were a lot of people today, but since he was an acquaintance of the boss, Willy naturally left a seat for Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko.

"Speaking of which, brother, your girlfriend is really cute."

Willy looked at Asano Ariko who was following Qiao Qiao and looking around like a kitten.

Today, Asano Ariko specially picked a light-colored short T-shirt, denim shorts, and a white spun jacket decorated with lace. Although the main activity area today is on the island, she still I chose refreshing sandals.

"It's a student."

Qiao Qiao explained casually and followed Willy to a practice cubicle.

This is considered a VIP private room. Not only is it completely separate from other practice areas, but you can also experience some weapons that ordinary guests cannot access.

"If you have any questions, just call me, hehe."

Willy left a word and left the private room, leaving only Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko.

"Then, Miko Asano, come here."

Qiao Qiao picked an ordinary .45-caliber Glock 21 pistol, checked it, and handed it to Asano Ariko.

"?"

Ariko Asano was a little confused holding this slightly heavy weapon.

"You said before that you wanted to learn how to use weapons."

Qiao Qiao asked Asano Ariko to stand in front of the shooting stand.

Not far away, you can see a human-shaped target with rings on the chest and head.

"Although I don't think Miko Asano needs such a weapon in actual combat, it's always good to know about it."

"well?"

It turns out that the teacher came here to let me get in touch with weapons, not to practice shooting myself?

"Well, because you don't have a gun license, you can't use weapons casually."

Qiao Qiao explained, watching Asano Ariko raise the gun very awkwardly.

"The posture must be correct. You can easily injure your wrists due to the recoil, and may even cause the pistol to fall off."

He leaned over from behind Ariko Asano and straightened her movements with both hands.

"When aiming, keep your eyes, crosshair, and target at three points and one line. Don't use too much force when pulling the trigger. Stay calm and aim before shooting."

Qiao Qiao's voice came from her ears, making Asano Ariko's ears feel itchy.

"By the way, although you don't have these things in actual combat, it's best to wear this when practicing shooting."

He put on the sound-isolating headphones for Asano Ariko.

The surrounding sounds suddenly became much quieter.

Ariko Asano held the gun in a slightly stiff posture and gently pulled the trigger.

Bang——

The bullet came out of the barrel, but did not hit the target. Instead, it sank into the cushion behind.

"Well, for a first shot, it's pretty good."

Qiao Qiao's voice became unclear.

Ariko Asano only felt her hand tingling when she fired, as if she had been hit hard by a bat through an iron plate. Just holding the pistol tightly was already very difficult.

"Like this, eh."

Seeing this, Qiao Qiao simply helped Asano Ariko steady the pistol. The two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

The heartbeat quickened.

Ariko Asano felt her embarrassment.

Bang——

Another shot, this time barely hitting the target.

Soon, Asano Ariko seemed to get used to Qiao Qiao's presence and quickly entered the state.

Fire round after round, reload, keep shooting.

After an hour, Asano Ariko was still sweating even though she was in an air-conditioned room.

All soaked.

"Take a break."

Qiao Qiao said, taking two steps back.

Asano Ariko put down the empty pistol. Only then did she feel that her hands were so sore.

She slowly took off her sound-isolating headphones and collapsed on the sofa.

This is just an ordinary bullet.

The revolver and bullets that the teacher usually uses should have stronger recoil.

Recalling the scene where Qiao Qiao fired explosive bombs, Asano Ariko sighed with emotion.

Although it seems that it is easy for the teacher to remove spirits, in fact, the effort required is no less than that of normal spirit removal techniques.

Look at the teacher's skillful shooting posture, precise hit rate, and combat experience in calmly choosing the right moment to shoot in any situation.

Presumably, it took thousands of repeated shots to achieve this.

Seeing how the shrine maidens of Shimogamo Shrine had trained in just one month, I mistakenly thought that using firearms to remove spirits was a very simple matter.

But this is not the case.

There is still a long way to go.

Asano Ariko thought while drinking the cold, sweet and sour tropical fruit mixed drink provided by Willy.

In the next hour, Asano Ariko tried the rifle and shotgun again, while Qiao Qiao patiently guided her.

At 11:15, just when the two were about to pack up and leave, the door to the private room was roughly pushed open.

"Please wait a moment, there is already someone here."

Qiao Qiao turned around and saw a tall man wearing sunglasses walking into the private room. Beside him were Willie and a man in a Hawaiian shirt who tried to dissuade him.

Um?

Qiao Qiao discovered that, not to mention the person walking at the front, the Hawaiian shirt following at the end was the weird hunter Derek Slender he met last night, wasn't he?

His face still bore the bruises from yesterday's rubber bullet hit.

At the same time, he recognized Qiao Qiao. Drake, who was still a little arrogant at first, subconsciously took a step back and immediately became docile and well-behaved.

"Didn't I give you enough money, Willy?"

The man wearing sunglasses glanced at Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko.

"Weak Asian guy."

He muttered something in English.

"But Mr. Charles, the private room you booked only starts at twelve o'clock."

Willie explained.

It seems that the next batch of guests in this private room have arrived early.

Qiao Qiao quickly understood the situation.

"Mr. Willy, it's okay, we are getting ready to leave."

Qiao Qiao opened his mouth to help Mr. Willy smooth things over, saying that he had no intention of causing trouble and was leaving anyway, so he wouldn't bother with the other party.

"I'm so sorry."

Willy said slightly guiltily.

Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko quickly packed their things and prepared to leave the private room one after another.

Just when Asano Ariko passed by the man.

"This little girl is pretty good. I wonder how much it will cost [beep——]."

The man's slightly obscene gaze swept over Asano Ariko and said something in Italian at the same time.

Ariko Asano didn't quite understand what the other party said, and just regarded it as irrelevant words.

But Qiao Qiao, who had already stepped out of the private room door with one foot, heard it clearly.

He stopped.
