Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Chapter 124 Air Reconnaissance 1



124 . Air Reconnaissance 1

After taking off from the Air Force Base, the air tanker gained altitude .

[We have reached constant altitude] (The pilot)

The Crew well, not, theres really no flight crew here . The pilot who was on the cockpit who responsible to explain me everything, told me so .

Right, we neither have much time nor fuel . Shall we go right away?

[Well transfer in 30 Seconds] (Mitsuha)

The pilot immediately forwarded my words to everyone on board using intercommunication system (ICS) . It may be shocking as this is their first time . So just in case .

Ah, just in case, we have a lookout in the pool at the base until we return . In case of emergency, I will transfer everyone on board there .

No, if after the transfer you hit the ground in a strange position, you might break a bone . If I were to transfer everyone in a hurry, the altitude might be slightly off and some people may be a little off the ground .

After all, If I do an emergency transfer from a high-speed moving plane, or if we were instantly losing altitude, I might not be able to adjust the position of each person . Well, Ill do my best to get them in the right position, that is, on the ground . I cant forget the pain on my legs when I transferred slightly above the pool table!

(Note: Its when she transferred Alexis to get his wound treated on Earth . In case someone forgot)

Well, thats why, when the time comes, I will at least swimming with everyone .

And that also why I changed into a flight suit! No, actually, I just wanted to wear it . Ill get you a picture later .

well, its time . Lets go!

[Mine name is Nanoha, the one who crosses dimensions in the name of the God of Exile! Open the way to a different dimension world, Aura Road!!]

I shouted in the other world language while doing some gestures .

Un, style is important .

And, if they think that the transfer isnt instantaneous and needs some time to cast the spell, you may be able to catch the enemy off guard in the event of surprise attack . This kind of straightforward preparation might save lives, yeah .

and, nothing happened .

No shaking, No fuzzy floating sensation Nothing .

But for the others, that wasnt the case .

Ooohh, the scenery has changed! (Scholar 1)

Th-This is the other world (Scholar 2)

Sample! Take a sample of the atmosphere! (Scholar 3)

What a bunch of busy scholars .

Well, lets leave them alone . I have something else to do .

I looked at the pilot who responsible for the explanations and nod to each other .

I received a spare of ICS headset and a hand microphone .

Please head straight for between the hill at 1 . 30 and the breakwater at 11 oclock (Mitsuha)

Roger that! (Pilot)

Right, were doing cardinal points adjustment .

The planes gyrocompass aligned with earth standards; Would it be really accurate here? If the plane changes direction during the transfer, the gyrocompass might not be aware of it . Also, the magnetic orientation might be different from the Earth . No, even if this world is different from the earth, it doesnt matter because gyrocompass should be based on [The axis of the planet rotation], but this time its a little bit different .

The plane is flying in a large circumference, both inbound and outbound headings on the line between the hill and the breakwater .

(Note: I have a hard time to comprehend this paragraph . But I think its pretty close . Or in simpler term, they fly in a large circle, back and forth between the hill and the breakwater . )

First objective, on-top standby mark on-top! (Pilot)

Handheld Compass, 320 degrees! (Mitsuha)

The first objective from the pilot, as we flew passing over the hill, I read out the direction ahead using my own handheld compass .

Gyrocompass 312 degrees, Magnetic compass 319 degrees! (Pilot)

Oh, there is almost no error! I was going to be careful enough not to shift the orientation of the plane at the time of transfer, but it was pretty close so far Well, in fact, the fine control of the transfer has become a part of me since [that] directly read my will . Otherwise, it is not possible to transfer precisely with a rough designation . Especially, under the specified condition such as [Transfer all the wiretap device] or [Transfer a part of the sword] .

So, it seems that the [Retrofitted memory expansion] part worked well .

(Note: Yeah, she also received something like that when she received the transfer ability . I had to reread the related chapter)

Of course, I dont know if the relation between magnetic north and true north in this world is the same as the earth, but it doesnt really matter . Its enough if we can fly in the designed direction with this planes instruments . However, the magnetic deviation is 7 degrees westerly? Its the same as near Japan No, we dont know the true north here, so it doesnt make sense to compare .

(Note: westerly = negative, easterly = positive . Just navigation stuff)

The conditions are similar to the earth so far . so its not completely different planet, geologically speaking . Is it safe to say that this is [Another Earth]?

But, is it geographically identical? Is it just a similar planet by chance? Or maybe, for some reason, earths creatures were transferred here on a continental scale long time ago? Or did the evolution follow the similar routes? Or the existence of a transcendental race that sows organisms in various worlds across dimensions?

I dont understand .

But it doesnt matter anyway . Right now, it has nothing to do with me, and with the people of this world too .

Second Objective, on-top standby mark on-top! (Pilot)

No no, I have to give instructions!

Heading 316 degrees Veering! (Mitsuha?)

Roger, 316 degrees! (Pilot)

Whats left now is to wait .

The scholars who took pictures desperately seems to have calmed down as the plane flew offshore . Well, if you can only see the sea surface, it is no different from the earth .

But, there also some who says something like [what if we suddenly spot a sea dragon] and remained stuck to the window . Maybe theyre biologist?

After that, small islands appeared, but for the time being our target is a continent . Lets relax in the back . I cant sit still in the cockpit for hours .

Oh, of course, Im asking the pilots to tell me if they see landmasses .

Alright, lets take a break!

I slept .

Well, the probability of flying off the coast straight over the ocean and encounter a landmass is not so high .

Thats why I slept, and it seem no one tried to wake me up .

And, I spent many more boring hours

I think its about time (Mitsuha)

Yeah, from nautical charts seized from the battleships and interviews with its crew members, I faintly figured the approximate distance . So, its almost time if we calculate from the speed of this plane .

Though, it took some time . But, finally .

We can see the shore ahead (Pilot)

The pilot told me so .

Of course, I went to the cockpit .

Ohh wings! Thats the light of Vanel Kingdom! (Mitsuha)

(Note: This is a reference from a vintage movie The spirit of St . Louis . its Japanese title is Tsubasa yo! Are ga Pari no akari da! . In the dialogue, Mitsuha says Tsubasa yo! Are ga Vaneru Oukoku no akari da! which is literally means Wings! Thats the light of Vanel Kingdom! . Well, thats that, the more you know . )

No, its not dark yet, so the city isnt lit . And I dont know if its kingdom of Vanel ahead . If the direction slightly shifted, theres a possibility of what we see ahead is their neighboring countries .

Well continue as it is, go over the shore . I want to check if its our destination . (Mitsuha)

I put the headset on and instructed the pilot to do so .

Roger, were going straight ahead . At this altitude, its unlikely to be spotted (Pilot)

Yeah, I thought so too . In a world without airplanes, I dont think anyone would randomly looking at the sky, and if anyone happened to be looking up the sky, theyll only think of it as an unusual bird .

(Note: Press X to doubt)

Well, it seems weird, but it doesnt matter . I cant do anything about it either .

I compared the shoreline with a copy of the chart and confirmed that it was definitely our destination, Vanel Kingdom . I still have enough time to fly over the continent for a few hours .

And I keep staring at the ground .

Right, without having to land, id I could see and memorize the place, I could just transfer there . Of course, I cant completely remember all places just by looking at it once, but thats where the [Retrofitted memory expansion] comes to play . Well, it saved me some trouble

Therefore, it will be useful if I can see a wide area as much as possible .

Right .

The purpose of this time was to [Observe the movement of Vanel Kingdom and the rest of the world and gather information about the civilization level of this continent] . It is to map the coordinates .

Without language issues, some information can be obtained from the seafarers, and money from the countries is available . so, there is no problem for me as a civilian to collect information . Its not like I would sneak into the palace like a phantom thief . Because I only listen to street gossip like usual, Theres no real risk .

No, maybe I could sneak into the royal palace without any difficulty .

Well, I wont do it though!!

(Footnote: Well, this time I had to do some extra research . So, it took longer than usual)
