Thanks for the release

Seriously, MC should have bought pepper spray and tasers for them. At the very least the pepper spray would be a fantastic, less than lethal approach to this.

Both of those are illegal in Japan, though pepper spray can be allowed in special cases like a demonstrated, immediate threat to your life, or you live in areas where bears will attack people.
He has money, but not enough to start breaking weapon laws and get away with it.

Well he does live out in rural Japan. So he probably could get bear spray.

Both close range tools against people who excel in fighting at close range. They're meant for creating an opening to flee, not actual all out combat with armed opponents. Hell, even in such situations there's never a guarantee it'll work. Pepper spray in particular can quickly turn against you.

Thanks for picking this up, things are about to get spicy.

There are plenty, plenty of ways you could turn ordinary items found in a hardware store into dangerous or even lethal IEDs. I mean, there's nothing stopping him from purchasing LPG bottles if he wanted to. Or pesticides, pool chemicals, fertilizer, etc.

The problem would have to be Scale. He would not be able to secure enough of these on a significant quantity without triggering so many flags in the system.

Still, I'm flabbergasted MC himself doesn't carry anything for personal protection. Not even of a Defensive nature. If I knew I'm heading into a war situation, I'd at least invest in a decent knife or hunting rifle. Pretty sure those would still be allowed in rural Japan.

Just imagine what he could be bringing over from earth if he was American instead of Japanese…

Knives and swords are controlled. Knives longer than 6 cm are illegal except for kitchen knives, and even those you can’t carry around unless you’re either a chef and it’s your work tool or you’re just taking it home from buying it.
Rifles are even more tightly controlled, even in the countryside.

Both of these ideas are wildly infeasible in the timeframe he has. And even if he started earlier, it would still take months at the very least.

What a naive little man he is, he seems to forget that he's not currently in Japan and treating the shit like it's a game.

Thank you for the chapter!

You are proposing that an amateur build explosives out of commercially available chemicals on a moment's notice without killing himself. This isn't the kind of thing you can expect to be very successful at with second-hand knowledge scrounged up from the net (much of it inaccurate) and no experiecne whatsoever. Not to even mention all the setup he'd need for something like that. Also, Japan has very strict controls on all potentially dangerous substances. The MC already mentioned that you need a permit to store more than a few liters of gasoline, similar limits apply to other things unless you're exempted by virtue of directly dealing in them or using them as raw meterials in your business. Thus it's pretty much impossible to overcome the scale problem unless you can somehow arrange for all of that illegaly and not get caught.

The other person already told you about knives. A hunting rifle in Japan? No way, dude. Even most hunters there get a permit for a high-powered airgun at most, since it's exponentially more difficult to do so for a firearm. We are talking about one of the most restrictive nations on that kind of thing in the world, the very reason they consider a device that beeps loudly a "self defense tool". You'd probably be detained if you walked around with a slingshot.
