63 Visitors from the Sea 3
The armament this time, was only Walther PPS in one of my armpit and thigh . I have a lot of guards, but in order to play the aristocrat’s lady, it would be bad if my equipment is exposed .
Besides, there is a high possibility of getting attack, if you try to use weapons . Perhaps it’s very outdated, but it’s necessary to pay close attention, because the opponent may have guns, perhaps they may also have a handgun .
Like for example, the flintlock or matchlock type .
Although I am going to deal with the gap, I’m not giving any consideration for safety .
In addition I am armed with, 2 IC recorders, in the bosom .
No, the evidence is important, you know .
For other evidence preservation, just like the case of Adelaide’s debut, I taught video recording and still picture shooting methods to the servants . We plan to shoot from the shadow of the soldiers, so as not to stand out .
Because it is suspicious, if it’s too close, it would be troublesome if we get attacked, because they thought we had weapons in place .
But recently the magnification and the brightness are amazing, so you can take a good picture without problems, maybe .
And also, clinging on my shoulder, a VHF handy type radio .
Yeah, back in the mansion, my Butler Anton is going to push the send switch of the HF fixed machine and the VHF fixed machine facing each other .
This doesn’t look like a weapon, so it wouldn’t cause their vigilance or danger .
When I went out of the Viscount residence, everyone is already a.s.sembled .
Their small boat left the ship and heading straight for us . A total 3 boats, 1 per ship . And about 20 people per boat .
About half of them are rowers, but of course, they are also combat personnel .
A total of 60 people, huh… .
Well, as it lands on an unfamiliar place, where you can’t understand the words, it’s a reasonable amount of people, don’t you think? .
It’s a sufficient force, and that number of people will not hinder the navigation of the ship, even if they lost .
Most of my knowledge about this level of civilization, such as sailing ships, on-board weapons, and the way people think, comes from the [horn-blowers] series I read when I was a junior high school student, novels about pirates, marine adventures, and so on .
Everything is just a speculation from the description of those works that are fiction .
That’s why the possibility of a mistake is quite high, but it’s okay, because there is the ability to transfer .
…Maybe .
Now, let’s head to the beach .
If you guys have a good att.i.tude, then I will invite you to the Viscount’s mansion .
But if your att.i.tude is bad, then this will be the end of your journey .
Yamano Territory’s only fishing village, is a sandy beach .
The young Feudal Lord with her arms crossed, the benevolent Viscount, Mitsuha Von Yamano .
36 soldiers aligned in the back, the officers are standing on both sides, the servants and personnel who are filming, are lurking in the shadow of the crowd .
In spite of his strong opposition, Mitsuha placed her Deputy Commander Wiilliam behind, the reason is『What if the top two are standing side by side and they got suddenly attacked and are both are defeated?』 And sadly William couldn’t refute to Mitsuha’s point of view .
That Willem was shaking his head in the words of Mitsuha, 『If my body seems to be blurred, then you don’t have to worry about the other attacks, don’t worry . 』 (そのヴィレムは、『もし私の身体がブレて見えたら、その後は向こうの攻撃は気にしなくていいから、早まらないでね』とのミツハの言葉に、頭を捻っていた。)
3 boats are gradually approaching the beach .
If you look closely with binoculars … . .
As I thought, they have a gun, and a sword hanging on the waist .
The gun is probably a [prefabricated smooth-bore rifle], or commonly known as a musket . The rifle is not carved (no riffling), the bullet is ball-shaped and a loading rod device, is it a match lock or a flint-lock…… .
Apparently, the commander is on the last boat . It’s not the fleet commander though…
Apparently, the commander is on the last boat . It’s not the fleet commander though…
Well, that’s normal .
Soldiers can be trained relatively easy, but it takes time and money to train a commander, and there are only few good people .
However, when saying that the commanders are all good people, that’s not the case, here .
It’s a cruel world… .
Besides, if you go by the example of the Earth, the commander may not be a regular soldier . It could be a sailor or a merchant whom just picked by the king and given money, a ship, a crew, and so on . Even for the occupants, they might be a country soldier, a sailor who was hired by money, a forcibly recruited ordinary person or a prisoner…… .
Apparently, it seems that these details can be confirmed from the other side, and they have a delicate expression of relief, that I don’t have a gun . And they seemed a little surprised that I’m the leader .
Finally, the 1st and 2nd boats landed on the sandy beach and the men jumped off, and after the soldiers made a wall of themselves on front, the 3rd boat was pulled up . Then one of the soldiers riding on the 3rd boat jumped off quickly and helped the commander get down as a stepping stone .
The man who seemed to be the commander walked towards me while his soldiers protect his left and right flank, and then said it with a stupid smile on his face .
Enemy Commander: 「Ho ho, are you welcoming us little girl, she’s is a little young, but its better than being greeted by her grandfather . Aren’t you a little cute girl . 」 (TN: A pedo spotted . )
Whoa, does he think that I didn’t understand his language?
Mitsuha: 「I’m quite disappointed that this is not a cool young man . 」
Enemy Commander: 「Wha……！」
The face of the man, quickly became a beet red . Was he angry or thought that I wouldn’t understand the words he said and he was upset with words that I said … .
Enemy Commander: 「The…, the words of our country …?」
Mitsuha: 「Yeah, shouldn’t those who lead the army, will study the unfamiliar words to prepare in case of something like this?」
