Chapter 61 (2/2)
No, we may be fighting against other ships, so I have to report it to the king and get permission to do so . If you deal with it poorly, it might become a war with other countries .
For once, I am a member of the kingdom’s aristocrat, even now… .
Mitsuha: 「Checkmate King Seven, Checkmate King Seven, this is White Rook, Over」
Sabine:『Oh my, That is a bit early today . What happened, Mitsuhneesama? 』
As usual, the response from Sabine-chan, was returned instantly .
Every day, just how early are you waiting in front of the radio?
Mitsuha: 「It’s an emergency . Open the 5th envelope that I gave you . 」
Sabine: 『Eh … I, . . Understood, please wait a moment . 』
Sabine: 『Eh … I, . . Understood, please wait a moment . 』
Sabine-chan is a smart girl . Even though she is playful or amusing as usual, but when the other party is serious, she will play the field properly .
After about 30 seconds, Sabine-chan’s voice flows again from the radio speaker .
Sabine: 『Onesama, this is … . 』
Mitsuha: 「Yeah, I will lift the restrictions on the use of the far-end communication spells . Pa.s.s it to the King immediately . He’s probably in a meeting, or maybe with a guest, but I don’t care, it’s an emergency . 」
Sabine: 『Understood, leave it to me!』
Sabine-chan seems to have rushed out of the room .
Maybe the King will soon come to Sabine-chan’s room .
Well, it’s time for conspiracy …After a long time .
King: 『Ah, ah~, is this okay?』
Sabine: 『Yeah, take your finger off of it . 』 (TN: He’s probably blocking the mic . )
The King and Sabine-chan’s voice flowed out from the speaker .
That was very quick indeed .
Mitsuha: 「Your Highness, it’s an emergency . Is there anyone else with you?」
King: 『Oh, Oh, the voice of Mitsuha from inside the box! Are you really at the Viscount Yamano territory? How can we hear the voice of Mitsuha from the Viscount Yamano territory?』
Oh, well~, it’s usually hard to believe it .
But that’s not the point right now .
Mitsuha: 「Your Highness, I am in a hurry, so I will cut to the chase . First of all, please tell me the members who are there with you right now」
King: 『Oh, Me, Sabine, Prime Minister Zall, Marquis Icebringer, and the Crowned Prince Lionel』
Yeah, the condition that the king and several people, whom the king thinks he can put the absolute trust and the secret can be kept, is clear . Now then, onto the main subject .

Mitsuha: 「There are 3 large ships anch.o.r.ed off the coast of our territory, it probably came from a distant country . From the old experience of my home country, they will claim the land they found as their own territory, then take away the treasure and bring back slaves with them, I might be wrong with this, but in off chance that they were such people, may I annihilate them?」
Huh?… (Are?)
There is no reply?
King: 『… How much do you know about the enemy’s strength? 』
They finally replied .
Mitsuha: 「No, it’s not decided weather or not they are enemies yet …Well, I’m not really accurate but I guess, around 200 people per ship, a total of around 600 people 3 ships combined……」
I don’t know well, but I think that maybe at least 70 people per ship, even up to 200 people at most, it’s inevitable that the range of expectation increases, because it is not possible to predict whether the number of people is small or large, due to the emphasis on the force expedition without refueling .
King: 『Are you expecting them to be armed? . What do you think of your current combat strength, compared to Mitsuha’s home country?』
Oh, that’s right!…
It will become a full image, with reference to the Earth… … .
Mitsuha: 「Because you have an excellent image of what we are capable of, but then it’s not omnipotent compared to my home country . So please listen, it’s just that there is such a possibility . 」
King: 『I understand, please tell me . 』
Mitsuha: 「First of all, considering the time of civilization and the size of the ship to go out to develop a new shipping route with 3 ships, I think there are cannons and guns . The cannon is a weapon that will launch a chunk of iron, and will probably fly for only a mile or so, I think that only the fishing villages on the coast will be reached . The gun, well, it’s an imitation of the sacred instrument of my home country, but the power is only about 1/100, and it takes a lot of time and effort for each shot . 」
King: 『But you can not win with the sword?』
Mitsuha: 「No, if only a few hundred people came ash.o.r.e, the advantage of the land is mine . Ambush, surprise attack, night raid, you can do anything . No matter how many guns you have, there’s nothing you can do if you’re getting shot by arrows all at once from the shade of a tree or from the top of a cliff, or if you are attacked by fire . It’s also good to burn food supplies and poison water . 」
Huh?… (Are?)
