I Am No King's

Chapter 42-3 – Inanna Test, Lugalgin Point of View

Still a bonus chapter. For the traditional slingshot in question, you can search on google “David vs Goliath Slingshot”.

　

\============================================================

　

Hooo is different from Emir. Inanna is not rash. He did not launch an attack like the Emir and revealed his whereabouts. I had to follow Inanna's footsteps patiently.

　

Several times, I felt something was a bit strange. While walking, I looked around. Every now and then, I saw some metal scattered. Why would I know? Effortlessly. Because the metal still reflects light perfectly enough. If the metal is used, it must have been rusted or buried.

　

In other words, those metals were things that had just existed. Most likely, Inanna separated the small projectiles she had brought along and spread them throughout the forest.

　

Inanna keeps moving. The tracks left behind are swirling. In fact, at least, it's been 10 minutes since I started chasing him.

　

However, I have to think of a way to overcome Inanna's large projectile. Unlike the Emir turret which produces noise. The Inanna projectile moved quickly and without sound. If I realize it's too late, my life will be threatened.

　

All right, then. While walking slowly. I gather roots and branches, to make ropes. Then, I took some leaves, to make them thick. While walking, I made a traditional swivel slingshot.

　

Hm? At last.

　

Normally, even though people try to be alert and move randomly so as not to be able to be tracked, when they do it for a rather long time and under pressure, their subconscious will take over. At that moment, even though it seemed random, actually their movements had already followed one pattern.

　

Right now, Inanna's trail pattern is zigzagging while moving away from me, moving to the right further away from the left. So, slowly, we turned to the right. Since Inanna had already shown her movement pattern, I could estimate where she was going.

　

I paused for a moment and looked at the trees, planning the route I was going to take. After the exact route, I directly used the spear as a pole and headed up the tree. I started running straight, heading to where he might be going.

　

Just now I was about to move quickly, something appeared in my view, in the sky.

　

Eh? Is he serious? She flew? Does he want to be an easy target? I have to teach him a little lesson.

　

I opened fire, and replaced the bullet casings. Inanna was able to dodge easily, of course.

　

After that, I went back down to the ground.

　

Hah, even though I was planning to use this swivel slingshot for Inanna's weapon, I didn't think she was going to fly. I threw a stone with a slingshot in Inanna's direction.

　

Hoo. His instincts are good too. Though this swivel slingshot produced no sound, but he was able to dodge. Unlike the Emir, Inanna's movement seemed much more presentable. In conclusion, his instincts are trained.

　

Given Inanna's reaction before taking this test, I'm sure that she thinks she's not talented. And, I don't deny it. However, practice and experience can mask those shortcomings.

　

I threw another stone and Inanna was able to dodge again. Finally, he returned to land. It seemed that he already understood how bad the idea of going to the sky was.

　

Now it's time for me to turn Inanna's attention to something else.

　

I repeatedly threw stones at Inanna's projectiles flying in the sky. It's very hard to hit him. However, it seems, my luck is still pretty good. I can hit those projectiles fast.

　

　

And, as I was worried, some Inanna projectiles shot towards me, and missed. It seems that he only guessed my location based on the source of the stone. However, I don't want to just shut up and test my luck. I ran, throwing stones at the sky.

　

The sound of a bush was heard quite clearly behind the sound of an explosion. It seemed that Inanna was already panicking and had forgotten to eliminate the sound of movement. Actually, if he wanted to, he would just choose to fly between the trees, maneuver. Or alternatively, he floated and hid among the trees. There are a lot of things I ask, but, let me keep them for next time.

　

Eh? The sound of the explosion has stopped? Wh why?

　

Ah, let me think about it later. Inanna was in my sight. Our distance is not too far. Maybe just a few dozen meters. Does he not realize my position? Yeah, nevermind.

　

I threw out a slingshot, took a swing, and threw a spear. Not in Inanna's direction, but in the tree she was about to cross. And, on target! My spear stuck in a tree, causing Inanna's head to stumble.

　

I took advantage of this opportunity, jumping from tree to tree. I didn't jump straight into Inanna's body from the tree. It would be dangerous for Inanna if I did. So, I went down first to the ground, just jumped towards Inanna, overpowered her, with the barrel of a gun pointed at her head.

　

"So?"

　

"Well..." Inanna breathed heavily and showed a sour face.

　

I could see the disappointment in his face.

　

"Yes, I'm giving up."

The author would like to thank you for all the support provided. If you want to see pictures of characters, you can check the ig author at @renigad.sp.author. Most of the pictures are searched on the internet. Because the copyright does not have an author, so it is not uploaded here.

　

And, as always, the author wants to do the endorsement. Currently, the illustrator whose image is used as a cover is a pixiv, ⁇ or QYS3 illustrator. So, before, the author just took a walk in pixiv, looking for original content, trus pm artistnya. Because it is not the result of a commission, but public content, the author also does not spend money.

　

So, the promotion at the end is something that the author does voluntarily because the artist has allowed the author to use the image even though it has actually become public content. So, readers can open the pixiv page and like gallery in https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=7210261 or follow his twitter in https://twitter.com/QYSThree. Both can also.
