Chapter 281
[There it is!]Sabine
[This one too!!]Colette
Umu, the day after I gave Sabine-chan and Colette-chan three recording devices each.
The contents of the remaining four that I had were all a miss, but the two seemed to have a hit.
[Heres a note on the potential part.]Sabine
[This one too!]Colette
I received notes from both of them on the possible hits.
It is not a note of the content of the recorded conversation, but rather a note of the recording details, indicating which recorder and at what time the potential part is.
[Good work. Heres what I promised you.]Mitsuha
[[Yossha~a!]]
I took the recorders and the memos, and in return, I handed them both a reward, and .
Dont use it in a weird way. No, really!
[Im sleepy, so Im going home.]Sabine
[Me too]Colette
Oya, I know you always want to be useful to me but the whole night! Did you repeatedly check the recordings the whole night?
Sabine-chan and Colette-chan are still unfamiliar with the language of the new continent, so it would have been difficult for them to understand since they spoke too fast, so they must have listened over and over again to make sure there were no omissions. Its a built-in omnidirectional microphone, so the sound quality is poor
Im sorry about that
But I didnt want to check all 10 of them by myself, either Even though the recording will automatically stop if the silence continues for a long time
Anyway, Ill send Sabine-chan and Colette-chan to my territorial mansion via continuous transfer, but Sabine-chan will have to go home by herself after that, Im sorry.
No, Id like to avoid appearing in the royal palace in transition as much as possible, and there are also people who are escorting her
So, after they left, I went over the notes and checked the contents of each recorder.
Oh yeah, there it is!
Its the effect of the rumors spread by Larushia and her crew, and the words of what seems to be the owner of the business association who complains to a person who appears to be the head clerk his subordinate or his henchman in a bitter tone.
There were a number of words that clearly said
Now I can do the next step without any reservations.
Oh, and there it is again, the statement about collusion with government officials!
Also, some merchant families seem to be connected behind the scenes.
No, its okay if its a business agreement or a mutual benefit. In this world, we dont have the Anti-Monopoly Law or the Subcontract Law yet, so its not really an illegal act.
but criminal activity, you cant do that!
So I set up the recorder again to get a full picture of the guys.
This time, I set it up at a store next to where I got the information from the previous recording and at the guardsmans office.
Thats why I bought a lot of recorders. They were cheap, less than 5,000 yen each, anyway.
I also bought some small external microphones and attached them to the recorders, because the sound quality was quite poor, although the specifications were as described in the manual. I hope I can get a good quality sound recording
Thats why, once again Mitsuha teleportation!
I at least know that its just
=====
Ive set up five recording devices at the Enova Trading Company.. to improve efficiency, and narrow down the locations where I can set them up and Ive set up a few at each of the other merchant houses. And now, Im going to the headquarters of the guards.
It seems these people, who steal all the time, go into the guard station. There are not many people who would go into a guard station that often, so I think the guards are having monkey business. But then, Im not too worried about it.
Still, maybe not everyone can sneak into the police stations in Japan. There are places where they keep pistols, rifles, and automatic weapons seized from gangsters, drugs, and gold bars.
But we dont have any of that here at the guardsmans headquarters. So no one would be stupid enough to sneak into a place like this.
In the middle of the night, I made a series of transitions to a location I had checked with binoculars from a short distance away during the day.
Of course, Im wearing the leotard and Im equipped with a head-mounted night vision scope.
I didnt have to go out of my way to buy another leotard, I had a similar one at home.
The school swimsuit that I used in middle school and junior high school.
Even when I was in junior high school, I wore it just fine, yeah.
Shut up! Dont say a word!
So, the difference between a leotard and a school swimsuit is Well, not much.
The materials, the design, and the emphasis on ease of movement are similar.
Well, swimsuits are supposed to get wet, so they are sometimes crotched and lined to prevent them from becoming transparent, so its not exactly the same
Anyway, even if they look the same, theres no way a 19-year-old me can go out in a school swimsuit!
Well, a leotard doesnt make much difference, but when you compare and , you can see that the two are very different. Oh, the pain of a newspaper article. Well, its not like there are newspapers in this world yet, and Im supposed to be sneaking, so it doesnt matter!
In terms of defense, school swimsuits are probably better, but thats, you know, an image problem
Anyway, after I scouted the place during the day, I transitioned to the area, I quietly went to the back of the room.
Even if a patrol were to come, they would be carrying lights, so I should be able to see them first and hide quickly.
Its a good thing we dont have security cameras or infrared alarms or anything like that And those who are optimistic that there should be no intruder breaking in.
Since there is no way to talk about secrets in a large room or in the open, I set up a recorder in a room for visitors or in what I think is the office of an important person.
When I came out of the room thinking that I had about two more left, I saw.
[A, a monster !!]
Suddenly, a man pulled out a sword and slashed at me.
Telepo~~to! !!
[Ze~ha ~, Ze~ha ~ What the hell was that]Mitsuha
At any rate, I teleported to my home in Japan.
No, I cant go to the Viscounts residence or the general store Mitsuha by transfer. Colette-chan and the servants may be in the Viscounts residence, and the general store Mitsuha may have Sabine-chan, the second princess, and Ruhen-kun, so it cant appear just like that.
I was unlucky.
Well, I guess thats all I have to say about what just happened.
It just so happened that someone was walking down the corridor without light, either on patrol, in the bathroom, or just thirsty and wanted to drink some water. And there I was, coming out of the room where I had finished setting up the recorder. I didnt check carefully before opening the door. It was too sudden.
But no matter how suspicious the intruder is, Im still a girl who looks like a minor and is clearly unarmed. Why would you suddenly slash me?
Normally, you would say,
And its a standard practice to capture the intruder and try to get them to tell you who they are and what they want, right? And yet, I was suddenly slashed without hesitation.
I wore leotard-like clothes, of course, because it made it easier to move around and my clothes wouldnt get caught on the furniture and make scraping noises, but the main reason was to prevent the worst-case scenario, which was to get slashed the moment I was discovered. In just a few seconds, I could easily and safely transfer and escape.
And yet why?
Anyway, I was drenched with cold sweat in an instant, so I guess Ill take a shower
With that in mind, I headed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.
[Oh, I definitely look like a
I guess its no wonder I look like a monster to people on the otherworld since Im wearing a leotard and a head-mounted night vision scope, yeah.
I reap what I sow, what a blunder!!!
