Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

154 . Search Operation 2

Datum of target, on-top, standby, mark-on-top! Transition to expanding square pattern, proceed with the visual search! (Tacco-san)

Under the Tactical Coordinators edict, not only using the surface search radar, but all crew members adjacent to the windows also doing the visual search . of course, we already start scanning long before we reach the search center point . Well, it seems to be a boilerplate to tighten our sense .

(Note: Tactical Coordinator, abbr . > Tacco)

By the way, in the ASW patrol plane, the pilot and the tacco seem to have a higher rank than a captain . In the Imperial Navy, scouts were sometimes captains, so this is probably normal .

Well, they usually able to find submarine periscopes and snorkels, theres no way they would overlook a big sailing ship, although without its mast or sail, so I can leave the visual search to them .

Radar contact, 326 degrees, 63 miles (Radar operator)

Homing! (Tacco-san)

Turn right, 326 degrees! (Pilot-san)

The radar has detected something . Immediately, the tacco marked the target on the screen to make the target visible on the pilots display .

However, that doesnt mean the ship has been discovered . There are many boats sailing, drifting objects, whales, and many more things at sea

Target in sight! It looks like a large wooden boat, but I cant see anything that looks like a sail! (the lookout)

How convenient

It seems to be the 40-guns boat mentioned in the datum . Theres no mast . (the lookout)

The location is quite close to the search center point .

And the ship is adrift, or in other words it has zero water velocity, but still flowing with the ocean current .

Anyway, looks like it is the correct target .

If you think about it, there shouldnt be much ship that leaves the coast and sails alone in the open sea in this era . And with such a large target, theres only whale that can be mistaken for anything other than a ship .

Alright, lets get on board!

Proceed to phase 2! Prepare for emergency evacuation as well as emergency return! (Mitsuha)

I warned the crews to prepare for two things . Emergency evacuation is when I return to the cabin immediately and emergency return is when I transfer them to Earth without me returning to the cabin .

Right, if I couldnt transfer to a fast-moving aircraft, I would have to transfer it with me without getting on the cabin .

In both cases, theres no danger and no preparation needed, but I need to alert them to avoid surprises and panic .

The garment, fluttering dress, good! this time, Im not wearing a flight suit . For the sake of convenience after this .

The disguise, Blond wig, good!

The radio, good!

Shoulder Type Megaphone, good! theres no way my voice could reach everyone on the deck where there are loud wind noises .

Im going! (Mitsuha)

I said that and then took off my headset .

Transfer! (Mitsuha)

I already took off the aviation headset, so probably it can only be heard by the people nearby .

Huh?

I transferred to the deck, but theres no one here .

well, I guess thats obvious .

The ship had lost its sail, so theres nothing to do on the deck . And to preserve water and food, its better to stay inside and avoid exposure to the direct sunlight and the winds .

Well then, lets call them .

I climbed to a little higher spot and grabbed the megaphone

[Royal Navy of Vanel Kingdom, the 40-guns ship [Eras]! I came here as the goddess envoy! Can you listen to me?] (Mitsuha)

Eh? Theres no reaction . Dont tell me, theyre already annihilated

Baam!! (Loud crash SFX)

Dotadotadota! (Footsteps SFX)

Ah, the doors and hatches are opening up . I guess theyre coming here

[Theres a message from the goddess for you guys] (Mitsuha)

Finally! The pick-up has comeee!!!! (sailors)

No, indeed, their pick-up is coming soon, but thats not what I mean

No, wait, If the goddess envoy is here then isnt that mean were going to the heaven!? Were in heaven, Heaven!! Theres the heavenly goddess as well as the beautiful angels Despite all the sins weve done, the goddess didnt abandon us!! (sailor 1)

Aaaaaaah~~~ (sailors)

No, wait a minute . Listen to me, will you!?

Banzai! Banzai! The Goddess, Banzai!! (sailors)

[Oi! You lots, listen to what I have to say!!] (Mitsuha)

Kiiiiiiin . (Megaphone feedback SFX)

When I shouted at the full volume, the megaphone started making loud high-pitched noise

And the deck is finally quiet .

Umu .

[I have bad news and good news for everyone here, first, I will tell you the bad news] (Mitsuha)

The sailors become uneasy .

[This time, everyone here will not be going to visit the heaven!] (Mitsuha)

Eeeeeehh!!! (sailors)

The sailors become despaired . But if they listen to the following news, theyll be pleased .

[Next is the good news A rescue fleet is heading here . I will guide them so that they could arrive here at the shortest distance . Im sorry, this time I cant take you to the heaven] (Mitsuha)

The sailors become puzzled . Perhaps the meaning of my words that they just heard hasnt yet penetrated to their brain .

And after a while .

Uoooooooo!! (sailors)

Oh, I guess theyll be able to hear my speech for a while

[So, the water and food are still fine for the time being . And unless the hull hits the storm again, theres nothing to worry about what to do right away . Is that right?] (Mitsuha)

Yes, thats right, angel-sama! (Captain)

No matter how disguised I am, a wig can only do so much . So, in order not to get too close to the sailors, I didnt get off from the high sport where I initially was, and I didnt allow them to get too close to me .

I exchanged necessary information with the captain from a considerable distance .

I have the megaphone with me, but the other side is speaking with his bare voice, so it may be difficult .

His voice is hoarse tte, I guess he used to use loud voice . Hes been a seaman for decades .

Surely, there must be [command adjustment] where he shouts from the deck toward the sea or during the squad training!

Yeah, I saw it in the JSDFs PR video!

[Well then, Im going to tell the rescue fleet about your location . Dont slacken, act as a proper seaman, dont show shameful behavior, and stay disciplined . Farewell then!!] (Mitsuha)

Focus on the ASW patrol plane up in the sky and Transfer!

Mugu!! (Mitsuha)

Suddenly something was thrusted into my mouth .

Agu! Gugugu! (Mitsuha)

As I become confused, the scholar hurriedly pulled it out of my mouth .

I-Im sorry! I was wondering if there is any special reaction in the place where the transfer had occurred (Scholar-san)

Oh, he was looking for traces of radiation, gravitational waves distortion, or something like that, so he was examining the seat I was sitting on with various detectors after I transferred .

And then, I appeared in the seat where I was sitting and had the protruding part of the sensor thrusted into my mouth

No, you dont have to apologize so desperately . You cant help it because its your job . Im pretty forgiving to those who work seriously . No, Im serious .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

Thats why he removed the tip of the detector that was stuck into my mouth, put it in a plastic bag, and put it in the small refrigerator inside the aircraft . I wonder if the precision parts were ruined .

Sorry
