Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Chapter 125 Air Reconnaissance 2



125 . Air Reconnaissance 2

Theres a considerable amount of time since we started flying over the continent .

Were here not just for my request, from the beginning the deal was [to gather as much information as possible] to make them to take my request . Even if I said [Lets return], we still got plenty time left, so lets just continue as it is .

The scholars say [Fly lower!], but people on the ground will find us out if we fly any lower . And theres also the sound the jet . Also, my field of vision would get narrowed .

Even if you cant see the details with bare eyes, you probably took pictures with high resolution camera, so you can analyze as much as you can later!

Then, when it became dark and the ground was no longer visible, they finally gave up . I guess theres less than half of the fuel left, but theres no problem .

Alright, we will transfer back in 30 seconds! (Mitsuha)

And I casted the suspicious spell again and transferred back . We appeared a little far from the Air Force Base . Indeed, Im not stupid enough to transfer close to the airfield . Most aviation accident occur near the airfield after all . Well, maybe today they restricted other flight activities around the base, but better be safe than sorry .

And after some time, the air tanker landed safely on the base .

Thank you so much for today . Then with this (Mitsuha)

No, no . Its no problem at all . Please ask us any time . Are there other continents you havent identified yet? (Base commander)

Said the Base Commander, the diplomat uncle is also nodding with satisfaction .

Well, indeed, given the information they gained with just lending me an aircraft, its an easy task .

But I dont think it makes much sense to gather information from the sky above the countries where the civilization level is inferior to the Earth . If theyre going to invade or something, then that at least make some sense . But photos of a world they cant go to would not make any sense .

For the time being, information exchange with other countries is strictly prohibited . And they seemed to be taking sample of the atmosphere, but of course all the microorganisms in the air were excluded at the time of the transfer . Well, maybe they could analyze gas components .

Well, thats why I also planned this .

The level of civilization of that world is already well known . So, theres nothing else to be known that Id be troubled with . The purpose of the recon was simply and interest-oriented research, where I said [I only know about our continent, so I want to check the continents on the other side of the ocean that I head from the old legends] .

So, I said that the direction and distances are largely based from the legends, and that the errors may be large . Right, even if I made a mistake, I could just use transfer if I see something risky so that I dont leak anything .

Oh right, if they caught a dragon or something in the photo, Ill have them to let me know . It may be useful for something .

So, that was the case, with this my request is completed . After that, Ill just take my time to survey that country . That country seems to be the same as middle age eastern Europe . So, I may be a little stand out there, but there seems to be a little interracial country, although its a bit far from that country . So, Im sure It can be managed, somehow!

(Note: Mitsuha is asian, and asian in middle age europe is weird, maybe)

If its getting dangerous, I can just run away . I am confident in my talent in running away .

A few days later .

I received the photos and analysis results .

They were excited when I gave them a [Cambrian-like creature] that was caught in the waters near my territory as a reward . Its delicious when its baked .

When one of the scholars tried to demonstrate how to extract the body parts, the guards pinned him on the ground . Its sexual harassment! Its sexual harassment show, damn it!

(Note: she said sekuhara = Sexual harassment, twice . Whats so sexual about biology experiment?)

Well, whatever . As expected, I was in the wrong too earlier . I gave it to them, so its up to them for whatever they want to do with it, I was to blame . Now lets withdraw .

Then, with the materials I received, I went to the third floor of [General Store Mitsuha] in the royal capital .

As expected, this is where the security is thorough and no one else can enter . Hmm, according to the enlarged photos of the port, there are dozens of sailing vessels

Hmmm, looking at this, the captured battleship is an old-fashioned ship one generation older . New ships were deployed, and the old ones were used for the research fleet . I cant figure the details without seeing directly .

Are the surrounding countries the same? As expected, I cant tell the level of civilization in these photos . As I thought, do I really have to go?

Wait, I already decided to go from the beginning .

Right, I can make money not only through secret small-scale trade with the Earth, but also through trade between continents . Again, unlike the small-scale trade with the Earth, this one could be a little larger . After all, they are from the same world .

If the exchange rates for gold and silver are different, I can make use of it and make a gross profit Well, no, lets make it as a last resort . In case of emergency, I can revive with gold, silver and pearls .

and, this here is the Kingdom of Vanel, the foreign continent .

No, I was worried about the foreign continent, and couldnt get any result at all so went on a little excursion .

There was no problem with the money I got from the safe on the boat and the money exchanged by the crew .

Oh, I decided to call this continent [The New Continent] to avoid confusion .

And the night has come .

It is more convenient to come when its bright, but at night the chance of me to be seen using transfer is almost zero, safety is priority .

Well, If I transferred to a forest far away from the city, no one would ever find out even during the day, but its difficult to reach the city afterwards . Rather, its easier and safer to transfer closer to the city in the night .

Thats why I transferred to the outskirts of this port city and am now searching an inn in the city .

Ah, I found one . Over there .

Excuse me, do you have vacant room here? (Mitsuha)

Again, of course, I was seen as a child . But, whether children or foreigners, they have nothing to say toward prepaid customers . Besides, my clothes are like nobles or rich daughters .

I checked in without any problem and went to bed immediately . Im rather hesitant to use the restroom here, so I just go to sleep . Well, I can just transfer from this room to the toilet at home .

Tomorrow, Ill have to look for a place where I can safely transfer during the day . That would make it easier for me to go in the morning and went back in the evening, literally [One day quest] .

And the next morning .

While loosening my stiffened body due to the hard bed . I suddenly realized .

Wouldnt it be better to rent a room, return home, sleep soundly in a comfortable bed, and transfer to this room in the morning?

Craaap! No matter how good your abilities are, there is no point in having them if you dont use them effectively! Dont tell me, theres something else Im doing wrong

This time, Ill have to think carefully

Alright, lets switch gears and depart!

First thing first, lets select a transfer point .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

After wandering around, I found a nice place in the grove inside the park .

It is a great place where it is well covered by trees, is not visible from any direction, and nobody is bothered to enter such a place, but it wouldnt be weird if I came out from there . With this, its safe to transfer during the day . Then after that, I went to the port to observe the ships .

Thats why I chose the largest port city instead of the Royal Capital as my destination .

I dont bring something suspicious like a camera . Even if I dont have one, I just have to look at the type and size of the ship, the sails, the layers of the gun deck, and the number of turrets . Well, it has already been analyzed from the photos to some extent .

And, I came here, near the naval port . Of course, I cant get too close, but I dont have to . Its enough from afar .

Hmm, the gun deck has two layers, and there are around 60 guns . The style is similar to a galleon, its close to a ship of the line

(Note: A ship of the line was a type of naval warship constructed from the 1600s to the mid-1800s)

But what we had captured were smaller and has fewer guns . Was it one generation order? Two generation older?

As expected, it seems impossible to make two identical ship . No matter how good the design of a sailing ship was, without the accumulated technology and know-how, it would be difficult to build a large ship . Even if the shape is similar, the strength and precision are entirely different .

After all, theres only small high-performance ships equipped with the new smaller long-barrel guns .

I wonder if there are also large caliber guns . The ship-mounted guns of this era are retractable, the gun barrel had to be retracted into the ship to load the ammunition, which made it impossible to increase the caliber while also not being a constraint on the size of the ship . Therefore, its possible to increase the caliber with a f gun with breech-loading type .

A large ship that has a poor maneuverability mounted with a non-rifled small-caliber gun, versus A medium-sized ship that has high maneuverability mounted with a breech-loading type rifled large-caliber gun .

Right right, I feel like it could work with this!

Little miss, what are doing in a place like this?

Ugh!!

While I was sitting on a stump and enthusiastic about scouting enemies, someone suddenly called me out from behind!

This is Yamano Mitsuhas biggest blunder!!

(Footnote : Well, what can i say, there are so much terms that im unfamiliar with, like ship related stuff . Please let me know if theres anything weird)
