Chapter 148
148 . Kidnapping 1
Gathering information on the new continent is finally reaching a stopping place .
No, I cant do intelligence assessment every day . If I continue to party and drink a bottomless cup of soft-drinks, my poor stomach is going to be terrible!
[Luxurious Heart] maybe good . However [Luxurious Stomach] is obviously not good!
Well, thats why, today, for the first time in ages, Im taking Colette-chan and Sabine-chan to go on a sightseeing trip on the Earth .
No, recently I was busy with the new continent and the new shops, and I didnt really have time for them, so they were in a good mood now well, their mood seems a little bit too good .
Thats why I came here, the base of Wolf Fang .
well, I have to show my face every now and then .
Captain-san, is there anything happened while I was gone? (Mitsuha)
You came huh No, not really . But theres a lot of emails, please process it . Theres nothing important though, no need to be hurry (Captain-san)

Riiight (Mitsuha)
Yup, I used to get regular letters before, but it was tedious, so I just use an email instead . Because its easy to send the replies . And it is managed by captain-san in case there was important or urgent mails . He also sends replies for the receipt confirmation .
Sabine-chan and Colette-chan will have to wait a bit, but it doesnt take long to use transfer, so it should be excusable Lets settle this quickly
Mostly invitation to parties and events . Since I hadnt been here for a while, some of it have passed their due dates, so I responded with an apology . Well, Ill still decline the upcoming ones too . And theres also regular reports from those who are studying the things from the other world . Lets answer those with acknowledgment and encouragement .
Oh, apology and wish to return to be the member again are coming from the countries that I kicked because they were tried to secretly bring recording device to [Different World Round Table] . It was a good opportunity to get rid of them . Who will ever let them return!!
After that, I send a few more replies . And .
Now then, lets depart! (Mitsuha)
First thing first, lets go to the sweets shop in the nearest town from this base!
When Sabine-chan and Collette-chan tagging along, it is customary to go there first .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
And we have already selected a suitable place for the transfer . A quiet and safe place .
Well, if theres anyone nearby at that time, we can just disappear with continuous transfer . Maybe, theyll think theyve seen a ghost and itll end without causing any strange rumor .
And, without any problem, weve safely arrived at the sweet shop .
Melon sweet parfait and Strawberry shortcake! (1st loli)
Banana chocolate sundae and jumbo parfait! (2nd loli)
Neapolitan ice cream and fruit parfait! (3rd loli)
For the time being, thats all! (the three lolis)
Large orders as usual . The waitresses already got used to our regular orders . We eat whichever comes first in succession, addition after addition .
And of course, it ends with [that] .

Uugh (the three lolis)
Gurururu . (Upset stomach SFX)
No, Its not that we never learn from the past!
Its like, the ancient roman aristocrats who pokes their mouth with their fingers after theyre full to make room in their stomach so that they can continue eating! we let it out from the bottom though!
Well, it wont work if you have constipation tte, lets leave it at that!
Im going first!! (Mitsuha)
Yes, there are only two toilets in this shop . And now, theres only one left, because another costumer already occupied one . So, Im taking the other one .
You can go next, both of them are free (Mitsuha)
After I returned from the toilet, its Sabine-chans and Colette-chans turn .
And when I was thinking about todays schedule, there was a loud noise at the entrance, like shattered glass or pottery . And
Kyaaaa, kidnapper!!! (Store clerk)
I reflexively stand up from my seat and looked towards the entrance .
The toilets in this shop is located right after the entrance and slightly behind the right side of the checkout counter . In other words, I cant get a clear sight of the restroom from the inside of the store .
The scream earlier belonged to the clerk at the checkout counter, no one would ever consider trying to take an adult woman out of this place, that means, the only ones who have the chance to be kidnapped is Sabine-chan and Colette-chan
My body spontaneously dashed towards the entrance while thinking about them . It was annoying to wait the automatic door to open, so I teleported out . I saw pieces of shattered vase on the floor . Perhaps it fell when someones limb hit it while they were struggling . And by then, the clerk noticed the criminals, thus she screamed .
Rendering someone unconscious using a handkerchief soaked by chloroform is only a myth in a story, chloroform has no immediate effect and is quite toxic . So, if the victim is a child, the safest and quickest way is to gag their mouth with a piece of cloth so that they cant scream, hold their body and drag them away while thinking that, my body automatically dashed towards the parking lot . Its less likely theyre using a car to kidnap someone in this scenario tte, there they are!!
Two women holding Sabine-chan, two other holding Colette-chan, and another woman helping them, a total of 5 women, and a man trying to drag Sabine-chan from the back seat of the car . I cant see clearly from here, but maybe theres another in the drivers seat .
Looks like Sabine-chan is rampaging, but she is outnumbered and theyre restraining her limbs, forcing her to get inside the car . Following her is Colette-chan . I stopped and looked at them without panicking .
If theyre already in my sight, I dont have to worry anymore . Its just [Kidnapping], and the culprits will have no intention to harm the girls . Even if the girls scratches or bites them, theyre probably strongly ordered not to hurt the girls .
Theres no way they can escape now, please wait a little longer .
The culprits managed to push the girls into the backseat, with one of the women following them into the backseat, and another woman into the front passenger seat . The other three then entered another car next to the first one .
Well, they all wont fit in one car, so have another one ready . Its unlikely but perhaps the other car have the role to prevent the first car to be tracked . Perhaps, even at the expense of a few people, they value the success of the kidnapping .
And, if youre wondering why Im so relaxed, its because
Gakun! (Metal crashing (?) SFX)
Vrooom!! (Blown engine SFX)
The sound of blown up engines and the two cars that didnt move ever so slightly .
It cannot move . The two cars have no tires . Just before they started the engine, I transported all the tires from the cars to the yard of the territory residence .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
The cars that cant move anywhere has their engines blown up after the drivers forcibly stepped on the accelerator . And then
O, onee-sama! (Sabine-chan)
Mitsuha! (Colette-chan)
Again, with continuous transfer, I retrieved Sabine-chan and Colette-chan in succession . Yeah, because of this, Im not worried that much as long as theyre within my sight and not in an imminent danger .
If the opponent was a deranged violent person, I would be more panicked and immediately rescued the girls . This time, the culprits were not of that sort and they were completely within my sight, so I had time to wait for the right moment .
The worst-case scenario would be if they managed to escape before I found them and completely lost sight of Sabine-chan and Colette-chan, rendering me unable to rescue the girls .
the store will charge the culprits instead of us for the reparation, right?
Then I take the phone out of my pocket and call a number . Yes, if were involved in any trouble in this country, I can contact this number immediately, the number that was taught by the agents of this country .
Maybe scary uncles in black suit will rush here .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
just when I thought that . They came in just 2-3 minutes, four cars, dozens of people . We havent been able to talk with the clerk and the other customers who came out of the store in a hurry
Apparently, several agents were always waiting in a car, near the Wolf Fang base, ready to be dispatched at any time . Of course, because we occasionally come to this city, there are plenty of agents waiting around here too . And this time, because its emergency, even those who are in a nap are wielding up and trying their best . thank you for your hard work .
And the reason why the kidnappers doesnt abandon the car and escape is because I took [that] with me when I transferred the tires earlier . The parts that necessary to open the doors .
Without that part, the door would not open because the latch would not come off when the handle was pulled .
In addition, the sharp tools, the communication devices, the firearms, and the dark instruments, I took them all . And the poisonous substance for suicide move was also transferred . Maybe they havent even noticed yet .
The kidnappers, who were a little stunned that they had noticed that their weapons had all disappeared, were quietly captured without any resistance .
Somehow, it looks like theyre losing their motivation, maybe they realized that the bottle is already empty when they tried to suicide by drinking the content inside the bottle?
Well, if they determined to suicide only to realize they cant, of course, their heart will be broken
Ah, lets transfer the door latches so that the men in black can open it easily .
Oh, I have to transfer the weapons back in the car . Well, transfer only took a few milliseconds, they wont realize it .
I have to leave the evidence that theyre armed kidnappers so that their sentence wont be lessened .
