Chapter 42
I visited the captain after a long absence.
No, I recently was busy with territory reform. They are almost ready to use personal portable weapons. Throw, then take cover; other than grenades.
No, even if I say theyre able to use them, thats just saying they can shoot now, their hit rate is bad.
The materials from those dragons seem to have sold well. It seems the scales and meat were sold to each country equally for the sake of fairness. A certain amount each to prevent monopoly.
Of course, at a very expensive price.
The parts for the countries that complained that it was expensive were sold to other countries or big companies at an auction. Demon.
And having secured the rights to all discoveries, inventions, new products etc. derived from the dragon materials research. They have definitely become rich.
No, itll be made public? Of course, the miss has a share as well?
The captain explains in a hurry, to the suspicious Mitsuha.
So, will your men keep working as mercenaries?
Yes, we dont have any other skills. The money will be divided even if we break up, we dont have anything else to do, so itll soon run out anyway, or we could become penniless after being attacked or cheated. If thats the case, its safer to keep together as mercenaries. Those wholl pick a fight with us have to go through all of us.
However, its appreciated that we wont have to take any risky and dangerous requests for a while out of a need for money. In the first place, we dont feel like receiving any battle jobs for the time being
Yeah, you wouldnt want to face death for money if you already have plenty of money, thats normal.
Oh, yeah, remember how I told you Im managing a Viscounty, can I count on you guys if some bandits come?
Ahh, the storys different if its a request of the miss, although even if the opponents dont have firearms there is still the possibility of dying, well, if they die from that, they were guys thatll die that easily. Even if it is voluntary, probably everyone will participate
Ah~, its not like the enemy is coming so I wont need it like before.
Yes, that would be an excessive force.
Oh, are you aware of any wooden, man-powered ships using a dozen or so people?
I thought that if its a country around here and not Japan, there might still be wooden and not mechanically powered ships
.Is that a galley ship? Does the miss place still uses slaves?
As if in surprise, the captain rounded his eyes.
Is it no good?
Well, I dont have any special training today. Maybe Ill buy some tanks or self-propelled autocannons if I earn a lot of money,. God, Im counting on you ok.
(tl note: God is the name of the mercenarys half-track with the 20mm autocannon)
The 5.56mm weapons on light armored mobile cars and so on are too weak. Infantry battle vehicles that can load 20-millimeter auto-cannons, wait, what is the Yamano Viscounty going to fight!?
Lets return for today.
Oh, before that, Im going shopping in the city.
No, I dont only shop in Japan, but also in this countrys city.
Generally, they offer a lot more things than in Japan and theyre cheaper. The number of stores Im familiar with has increased. I get bonuses and candy as well.

I know that they think Im a 10 to 12 years old child!
Miss, are you going out to the city?
Yes, Im going shopping
The captain whispered in a quiet voice and said.
Recently, some suspicious people have been wandering around. Maybe intelligence agents from some country or something.
What is their purpose?
Probably, the method of going back and forth to another world. Also, resources and technologies that are not here. Before, one of my idiots posted some photos on our homepage, and this time the gold coins that we got which we converted in large quantities as a reward from princess, we had also converted some in the past. If the pros are serious about it, theyll soon know that princess teleportation isnt a one-time thing
Regardless of resources, technology? From a world of swords, bow, and arrows?
There are, you know, like magic, and magic, and magic.
Ah
I see, another worlds interests, I guess they are thinking that if they manage this well theyll be able to put their troops on another world. Like getting a vast amount of land in exchange for 24 dollars worth of junk, or exchanging disposable lighters for diamond ores
But my teleportation is neither something scientific nor a magic dimensional tunnel. Even if someone captures and orders me to teleport, I might only teleport myself at the time of teleporting, or leave all their equipment and clothing behind and teleport to the top of a high mountain and then teleport just myself away, it could be anything.
In any case, its one thing if they try to kill me with a single shot, but I can escape at any time by teleporting if they dont so theres nothing people who arent trying to kill me can do. Even if they make me suddenly fall asleep using drugs, theyll need to let me regain consciousness in order to interrogate me.
I can escape by teleporting if Im in a conscious state for several seconds. In other words, interrogation is impossible. As long as I do not go out of my way to let them.
When escaping, it might be fun to go together with all the buildings pillars.
Besides, they believe that Im a person from that world for now and I have no important family or relatives who can be taken hostage even if my real name is gets found out. If that uncles family gets taken as hostages, I would have a nice laugh
Anyway, its nothing serious.
I understand, its not a big problem, but combine my name with the explanation from now on, because it doesnt seem like a good thing to spread mana(my real name) to odd groups
(tl note: seems to translate to real name but is pronounce mana. That joke doesnt work in English as far as I know.)
O, Oh
The captain is confused from a suspicious term such as mana appearing. Later ask some members who are Japanimation manias.
The members sent me to the city with a car. Seems like there was some conflict over wholl bring me. Have my popular period() finally come?
(jisho note: (Moteki): period (of life) when one is enjoying more romantic attention than usual)
I can go to the city with continuous teleportation, but theres always the possibility of being witnessed at the moment of appearing and its better to go at a speed of 70 miles per hour for about 30 minutes while talking about the world.
Ah, its 70 mph nonstop on a road with no signal lights each second, so its about 50 kilometers away from the city. The base of a private mercenary group cant be too close to a city.
When I got to the town and they let me down, the members simply went home. They know that Ill return by teleporting after shopping.
Speaking of which, theres this thing where everyone thinks that I can return from anywhere when returning, but will only appear at the mercenary groups base when I come to this world. Perhaps, they think that I can be anywhere when teleporting but its necessary to set something like a marker at the destination. For example, like its set at the mercenary groups base. Well, thats fine, though. Let them think what they think. It might become a safety valve for something.
And while I was buying food like normal, I was called by someone I didnt know.
Excuse me miss. Could I have a bit of your time?
Blond hair and blue eyes, height about 180 cm, somewhat taller than the average Westerner too. From my height, I have to look up. A calm feeling uncle in the middle of his 30s, wearing a dark suit. There are two younger people behind him. Everyone is in black suits. Is there such a rule?
Yes, what is it?
Knowledge of Russian and Chinese floats to the top of my head. Russian is complete, Chinese is somewhat inferior.
Yes, this person studied English and Chinese and mastered them, his mother tongue is Russian.
Of course, my reply was returned in English, which was the language he spoke.
Id like to talk a little, is that OK?
Eh, ehh, well, if its only for a bit
At Mitsuhas reply, a joyful look appeared on the men faces.
Then, lets talk while eating somewhere well drive you somewhere so please get in
Looking further back, a black car is parked behind them. As expected, there arent any girls wholl get in a car with 3 suspicious men plus driver without any protection. Are they making light of me, thinking Im from another world anyway?
No, no, I was taught in this world that I shouldnt follow any strangers or ride in the car of any stranger
The men scold their eyebrows. They were likely thinking who was it that taught her something unnecessary.
So its okay if we talk while drinking tea at that shop
The men reluctantly nod at Mitsuhas words. Then they followed Mitsuha who started walking. Perhaps they originally intended to make light contact and not suddenly abduct her.
Here, this is
The 3 men flinch.
Out of place.
They were ridiculously out of place
The people that had taken most of the seats in the shop were all young female customers except for themselves. Wherein 3 men in black suits.
Were already conspicuous.
A sweet specialty shop popular among young women in this town.
Of course, I chose this shop on purpose. You cant make any funny moves if you attract so much attention. Fuhaha..
I picked a table close to the wall and sat down with the wall behind me.
Normally you should avoid the seats where you cant escape from. Especially if youre solicited by a former classmate who you havent met in a few years and a stranger in a pyramid scheme or religion.
However, it doesnt matter to me now. I have teleportation too but that is because its this shop.
Anyway, I asked the waitress who came to pick up an order for the cake set. The men ordered coffee, coffee, and chocolate banana cream sundae, the other two glare at the last person.
Mhm mhm, you wanted to eat here but couldnt enter this store alone right, please eat as much as you want
So, what did you want to talk about?
On purpose, I said in a slightly louder voice.
Yes, in order to inform customers and store clerks in the shop, that they are not my acquaintances, but suspicious men who are cornering a girl who doesnt know them.
Instantly effective, a group of women around the age of 20 is watching with scary faces. And a group of schoolgirls that glance this way is taking out cell phones from their bags.
The men are not aware of them because they at the back of the shop and facing Mitsuha towards the wall side. Just as keikakued.
(translators note: keikaku means plan)
While seeming uncomfortable, the oldest man began talking in a low volume.
Ill get straight to the point, you are a princess from another world, are not you?
Yes, fastball, straight in the middle!
Eh, well how did you know?
Oh, as I expected, our country really wants to create diplomatic relations with your highness country we can also support you in the war against the Demon Army, through dispatching military personnel!
Mhm mhm, use some reason to let the military enter then force the rest of the way, huh
But, what did they intend to do if they become isolated in another world? If supply and maintenance cant continue, modern weapons soon become useless. Besides, no matter how powerful the weapons you possess, if the enemy is all around you, you get random night attacks every night to keep you from sleeping at all or someone sneaking in to poison your food and water, in the first place I think theyll dry up right away if theyre stopped from securing food and water locally.
No, its already over because of the heroes from this world. . After that is only around cleaning up the remnants of the enemy army that had parted from their main forces. If its that much then rather than depending on other worlds, its a task we should undertake ourselves
Eh, the men show an expression like they didnt expect that.
(tl note: there seems to be a joke where (Otoko-tachi) is used to refer to the men. It can be used for knight in shining armor and ruffians who act under the pretense of being chivalrous)
Wh, but a dragon might attack again
No, the old dragons originally only appear once in a few hundred years. Grown dragons are gentle and intelligent creatures, only rarely does a dragon child or immature dragon come and act mischievous
A scholar explained that afterward.
Huh
At this time, the orders came.
Mitsuha who raised her line of sight to see the waitresses, almost spit unintentionally.
There were foreign contamination at several places inside the shop filled with young women.
As if they had arranged beforehand, men in dark inconspicuous suits approached from several different spots. The plain suits that shouldnt be very noticeable stood out tremendously here.
Because most seats were taken, the different groups were forced to share tables, they seem quite anxious. Well yeah, it wouldnt do for them to share a table with young girls
The waitress also seems dumbfounded when she turned her eyes toward the men and notice them too.
But, if the negotiation doesnt progress here and now, the agents from other countries will swarm as soon as we break up with the princess, they thought, and as soon as the waitress leaves the order they stop eyeballing the around them and continue to talk.
However, in consideration of your country, having a diplomatic relationship with our country
Huh?
At Mitsuhas sudden words, the 3 people stare at Mitsuha with startled faces.
Its said that the great hero of my country who saved my great-grandfathers life Hero Ivanov often uttered these words, they seem to be words with a meaning similar to loyalty to the country
The 3 people are stunned.
And their cheeks gradually turn red.
That, that is! Someone from our country!!!
Those loud voices gather the gazes of the people in the shop.
Mhm mhm, this just got interesting.
