Chapter 42 (2/2)

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 quant.i.ties as a reward from princess, we had also converted some in the past. If the pros are serious about it, they’ll soon know that princess’ teleportation isn’t 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 world’s interests, I guess they are thinking that if they manage this well they’ll 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, it’s one thing if they try to kill me with a single shot, but I can escape at any time by teleporting if they don’t so there’s nothing people who aren’t trying to kill me can do. Even if they make me suddenly fall asleep using drugs, they’ll need to let me regain consciousness in order to interrogate me.

I can escape by teleporting if I’m 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 building’s pillars.

Besides, they believe that I’m 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 uncle’s family gets taken as hostages, I would have a

a nice laugh…

Anyway, it’s nothing serious.

“I understand, it’s not a big problem, but combine my name with the explanation from now on, because it doesn’t seem like a good thing to spread “mana(my real name)” to odd groups”

(tl note: 真名 seems to translate to real name but is p.r.o.nounce mana. That joke doesn’t 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 j.a.panimation manias.

The members sent me to the city with a car. Seems like there was some conflict over who’ll bring me. …Have my popular period(モテ期) finally come?

(jisho note: モテ期(Moteki): period (of life) when one is enjoying more romantic attention than usual)

I can go to the city with continuous teleportation, but there’s always the possibility of being witnessed at the moment of appearing and it’s better to go at a speed of 70 miles per hour for about 30 minutes while talking about the world.

Ah, it’s 70 mph nonstop on a road with no signal lights each second, so it’s about 50 kilometers away from the city. The base of a private mercenary group can’t 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 I’ll return by teleporting after shopping.

Speaking of which, there’s this thing where everyone thinks that I “can return from anywhere when returning, but will only appear at the mercenary group’s base when I come to this world.” Perhaps, they think that I can be anywhere when teleporting but it’s necessary to set something like a marker at the destination. For example, like it’s set at the mercenary group’s base. Well, that’s 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 didn’t 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.
