Hisoka and Misumi walked back towards the town in comfortable silence. They had both said what needed to be spoken and were just happy to be in each other's company.

Hisoka walked next to Misumi with his mind abuzz. He was filled with an indescribable feeling he'd never felt before. Fulfillment? Completeness? Or perhaps just a jumble of emotions at Misumi's honest confession? Whatever it may be, Hisoka was happy beyond belief.

In his previous world, he had never given love a second thought; he chose to focus in school and dedicate all of his off time to the pursuit of his favorite games. Hell, he never even had someone that he could call a friend in his previous world. His cold personality and usual deadpan expression steered everyone away from him, which suited him fine.

But now, in this alternate world of magic and fantasy, he had Misumi who he could now call a lover and Aki who he trusted as a companion. He never thought that he would end up in such a relationship with Misumi, much less her confessing to him. If he were told this would happen on his first day here, he would pass it off as a pipedream. The feelings he felt for her, and the way they looked at each other, were all too real, however.

Misumi herself still seemed quite shy about the entire thing, with her ears stooped and her tail low. She'd apparently felt this way for some time and it appeared that having the feelings reciprocated as well as the intimacy he had shown her might've overwhelmed her a bit, yet she coyly smiled to herself as she walked. She still had a red tint to her cheeks, which Hisoka found charming.

Hisoka couldn't help but steal glances occasionally to reassure himself that this was indeed real.

They received a few looks from the local people as they returned to the town, but for the most part, people were far too busy preparing defenses or treating wounded adventurers. Some adventurers were bringing timber from the forest, while other adventurers and citizens fashioned them into spiked barricades. no one seemed to be putting up any large scale fortifications, merely barricades or traps. Hisoka was struck with an idea.

While magicians and blacksmiths worked to create elaborate traps to defend the town, Hisoka had something much simpler in mind. In the Vietnam war, the guerillas deployed cheap easy to construct, and most importantly, brutal traps against the South Vietnamese coalition. These lethal traps in question were dubbed punji sticks. The simplest of the traps consisted of bamboo spikes placed in a pitfall, oftentimes laced with poison or even biological matter to infect the wounds. An even more effective variant, which would work wonders in the case at hand, involved the standard pitfall into the vicious spikes, as well as downward-facing spikes from the walls thus making it very difficult to escape. Hisoka planned to dig deeper versions of the lethal traps to immobilize the enemy. Of course, these traps would inevitably fill up forming bridges of corpses, but by layering them some distance apart they could trap even more of the monsters.

Hisoka spotted the pile of timber, and next to it the smaller pieces of lumber that had been discarded. Hisoka gathered a suitable amount of sticks that would fit the requirements and drew his KA-BAR. He began to sharpen the tips of the sticks into brutal points. At first, Misumi looked on inquisitively but followed his lead. The townspeople looked on questioningly at the two carvings at the small useless pieces of lumber. With the tow of them working in tandem they soon had enough to layer a moderately sized pit and it's walls.

"Could I please borrow a couple of shovels?" Hisoka asked the onlookers.

A young boy brought two shovels and handed them to Hisoka.

[Shit with the way people are looking at us you'd expect us to have 3 heads! Is it really that uncommon to use pitfalls in this world? I wonder if because of magic they aren't employed?]

Hisoka handed a shovel to Misumi and politely asked for her cooperation. The two began to dig a 3x3 meter pit, about 1.5 meters deep. After a short period of time, they finished the work.

"Misumi, could you please leave the pit?" Hisoka asked not wanting to accidentally injure her.

Once she had gotten out, Hisoka began to plunge the sharpened sticks into the bottom, and the sides of the pit. After carefully plotting the sticks and leaving the pit, he showed it to the townspeople.

"Compared to the time it takes to construct a spike wall barricade, you could easily construct these vicious easily Camouflageable pits that greatly inhibit the enemy's movements. Any fleshy target will get pinned, while the skeletons would be unable to flee due to the downwards facing spikes. Pardon me for not being well versed on magic or alchemy, but if there is a way to create a poison that kills these types of monsters, coating these sticks would easily make these pits lethal to them. If we were to prepare them around the village layered in intervals apart from each other, we could easily hold back the monsters, shoot them from afar, and simply burn all of those that fall into the pits," Hisoka explained.

The people were very intrigued at the ingenuity of it, in fact, it did appear that this method of entrapment was not common in this world.

[I will have to remember that and employ it again sometime.] Hisoka noted.

The townspeople immediately brought the proper tools and began to dig en mass the trap as shown by Hisoka. This gave Hisoka a large confidence boost along with the automatic weapons that they might be able to stop the monsters in this town.

Seeing as officer shitface hadn't arrived at the town, and in all likelihood probably chose to flee Zulich, Hisoka gave out some basic advice to the gathered adventurers.

"If you were to place melee troops at the front lines next to the punji pits equipped with polearms, you could continually harass the creatures and draw them into the pits, while archers and mages work from afar to kill oncoming monsters. it's not an airtight plan however I believe it would be effective."

Some of the adventurers seemed hesitant to take advice from some no one that happened to show up, but the majority found it to be a sound decision. The town guard had a small armory, and if push comes to shove they could use pitchforks to stab at the oncoming enemy from the safety of across the pitfalls.

Hisoka proceeded to help in the construction of five more traps before heading back to the inn to perform further logistics. Misumi followed on his tail closely. Hisoka explained what he planned to do to Misumi, and she asked that she be able to keep him company.

[How the hell could I say no to that face?] Hisoka thought and obliged. He figured she could help repack magazines and such if need be. After all, he was just going to go to his room to fuck around with ammo, what harm could come of it? With these thoughts, he entered his room followed by Misumi, and went about addressing their needs.

He had already decided and consulted Aki that she would be carrying one of the REC7s as a backup due to a large amount of ammo stockpiled for the weapons that Hisoka had replaced with fully automatic firearms of a slightly different caliber. That said, however, she still had 12 full magazines after restocking, and 160 loose rounds remaining for the M110, but it couldn't hurt. Earlier he had given her one of the rifles and 11 repacked magazines. As he had his shotgun as a backup he planned for Misumi to continue carrying her REC7 and it's 11 mags as a backup. After telling her so she pulled out loose rounds and went about repacking her 11 empty magazines.

As she repacked her magazines, he remembered that every five levels he unlocked an ability point. He quickly opened his status with a plan for it. He hastily put it into [Modern Vehicle Summons] and was greeted with an updated description.

[The ability to summon light and heavy vehicles from the user's previous world]

Lv. 1: Summon a single light recon vehicle

Lv. 2: The ability to summon the necessary fuel for vehicles at 20 MP per jerry can. Allowance of one manned mounted weapon at the cost of MP varying by the weapon system.

He instantly knew what he would do with this. Firstly, a mounted weapon would be extremely beneficial in the upcoming battle, but secondly, gas is extremely flammable. If he were to summon extra jerry cans they could easily dowse the monsters stuck in the pits and burn the corpses. Hisoka got a wicked grin and began considering which vehicle-mounted weapon to deploy. Firstly, however, he had to finish up the logistics necessary for their current weapons.

Currently, they had 14 full and 1 empty magazine for the Spear rifles, so Hisoka spent a portion of Mana on those weapons. First, he brought upon 100 loose rounds and repacked the empty magazine, before summoning an additional 7 magazines for the rifles leaving each of them with 12 magazines. Additionally, he brought forth 6 more mags for the VR60 bringing him to a total of 12 magazines. He finished off his logistics by swapping the expended MK23 magazine on his belt for a fresh one.

Soon after he had finished with his gear and distributing magazines to Misumi, she had already repacked the SPC magazines, leaving them both sitting in his room. Misumi looked at him longingly as they sat facing each other. Hisoka could feel his heart rate accelerate as he looked at her beautiful face and her long orange-ish hair. Misumi looked to be debating something in her head as her cheeks turned a rosy shade of pink.

"C, could you kiss me again like before?" she shyly asked him.

Hisoka moved himself to be next to her, looking into her bright yet timid eyes. He slowly took his time as he softly kissed her. She greedily kissed him back as she wrapped her arms around him, losing her shy manner and taking on one of passionate longing. They soon moved from soft kissing to greedily intertwining their tongues as they locked in a tight embrace. They went up for air and found themselves gazing into each other's eyes, their looks of longing turning to those of lust.

Hisoka kissed her at the base of her neck causing her to shiver from pleasure. He slowly worked his way upwards before their lips met like long lost lovers. The air in the room gradually growing hotter as their love intensified. They were approaching the point where merely kissing wouldn't cut it. They released their kiss and Hisoka found himself looking at her chest admiring her ample figure.

She was blushing heavily yet slowly undid the upper part of her outfit, unveiling her pale white breast to Hisoka.

He gently caressed them in his hands lightly brushing his thumbs against her nipples, eliciting soft moans from her.

"Hisoka..."

He gently brought his lips against her nipple and softly sucked on it. She audibly moaned as he gently sucked on her nipple and fondled her other breast. He sucked harder on her nipple and released it with an audible POP causing her to moan with ecstasy. She lightly panted as she wore a look of lust.

"I feel hot... Hisoka, I want you," she said looking into the eyes of Hisoka that were crawling with desire.

She slowly and sexily took off her pants and undergarments displaying her most private of areas to Hisoka. Hisoka began to undo his belt before he likewise dropped his pants, with his manhood standing at attention.

"Hisoka..."

"Misumi.."

He gently kissed her and whispered to her.

"Tell me if it hurts."

She spread her legs for him and he gently inserted himself. Her face scrunched in pain slightly.

"Are you alright?" Hisoka asked.

She nodded and Hisoka continued pressing deeper. Her looks of pain slowly faded and were replaced with a face full of pleasure. Hisoka gently began moving as her moans filled the room. He pressed his lips against hers and held her in and embrace. Her legs wrapped around his back as the wore a look of ecstasy. As Hisoka slowly increased the speed, they both drew closer before reaching a blissful climax.

~~~

Hisoka woke in the morning with a soft sensation against his back. Memories of the previous night slowly came back to him as he roused his consciousness.

"Hisoka..." he heard Misumi softly murmur in her sleep. He gently turned around as to not wake her, and gazed at the beautiful fox girl whom he had become one with. He gently patted her ears and she smiled softly in her sleep with her tail idly wagging. Hisoka continued to stroke her hair before he returned to a world of sleep as he waited for her to wake.

He woke up shortly afterward hearing Misumi call his name softly. He woke to the sight of the ample figured Misumi sitting up in bed with her bountiful breasts exposed to the cool morning air. She smiled as she saw him wake.

"Good morning," she lightly smiled and gave him a soft brisk kiss.

"Good morning Misumi," Hisoka said returning her warm smile.

They each got up and put on their clothes, and strapped on their belts. They both headed outside passing through the inn's lobby, where the woman at the counter gave them a knowing smile. Misumi blushed but Hisoka urged her along.

From there they joined the other adventurers and townspeople in continuing to bolster the town's defenses. The first line of punji stick traps encircled 180 degrees around the village pointing towards the monster's advance. A second line was being dug and had almost neared completion about 6 meters ahead of the first circle. A few spike barricades sat next to each other at the border of the town, with the expanse of people digging away and sharpening sticks beyond. He even saw a few mages casting spells on the pits, presumably some sort of poison effect.

Hisoka went to where he'd parked the car to mount a weapon on it. What did he have in mind? The M240G MMG which fires the 7.62x51mm NATO round at up to 950 RPM firing 100 round belts. The M240G is standard use by the USMC. Variants of the 240 see use among armored vehicles throughout US branches, and the main derivative the FN MAG sees use by other nations. This beastly hog of a machine gun would do well mounted on the Polaris.

He willed the Modern Vehicle's ability to push it into existence and was greeted with its price tag.

[M240 family of weapons: 50 MP for vehicle mounting. 20 MP per 100 round belt.]

Truthfully it wasn't an Awful price considering he couldn't summon crew-served weapons at all with his weapons ability, however seeing as the abilities act independently, he was still able to use it through the vehicle ability. He ok'd the price and watched as the M240 magically appeared alongside its mount and affixed itself to the Polaris. The weapon came with one 100 round box loaded and 2 stored in the vehicle. This made Hisoka's life easier as it came with 3 boxes of the expensive ammunition. He summoned another 3 boxes expending his MP for that day to assure the vehicle would be ready to repel the siege. He drove the vehicle to the front lines and set it up facing the direction of the enemy while paying no mind to the curious onlookers. Just to be safe, he unloaded the weapon and put the boxes in his bag of holding.

And so that day went, with the adventurers completing the 3 semi-circles of punji stick traps, and enough spike walls to cover the front of the town. Everyone put in a strong effort and relaxed after a long day at the small Tavern in town, practically draining the place. In total, of the original 2000 adventurers, 900 had perished, or equally likely, deserted the cause. The remaining adventurers had prepared all that they could and steeled themselves for tomorrow's battle.
