Chapter 83 (1/2)

Kuro Kurori ssu~

Chapter 83 is done! ( `・ω・´)

Would it be okay if I take turns translating Mitsuha and Kaoru each day?

83 Contact My weeping finally stopped Sabine-chan and Colette-chan from playing the game and came to the driver's seat. If you didn't care for me, I will really gonna cry, you know!

The two seem to have talked various things while playing the game and are getting along well now.

Alright, just as planned!

……Getting along well is good but please don't left me out.

Ah, it looks like Sabine-chan is writing down the resurrection spell earnestly.

In the meantime, I should see if she made any mistakes.

(Mitsuha) 「It's about time for the second noon chime (15:00), let's make a call.」

(TL Note: Evening in j.a.pan is apparently from 15:00-18:00)

Having said that, I operated the HF transmitter.

Since there won't be a problem with the electricity power while driving, the communicator had already been turned on from the beginning. Therefore, I could know immediately if there's a call from the King or the delegation party. It can't be helped if we weren't in the car at some point of time, though. I can just call them again later.

Well, there was no urgent business to begin with. I won't make any calls until I reach home if It's just a casual talk. So let's endure it.

Even if I say it's a regular contact, I won't call every single day.

However, if there's something that needs to be conveyed to them, I will call at around this point of time. Therefore, they don't have to wait for it every time and we also won't choose this time to take a shower or exercise outside the car.

This time, it's the first communication after we left the capital.

(Mitsuha) 「Checkmate King One, Checkmate King One. This is White Rook, over」

(King) 『Ooh, this is King One. Signal is good!』

A reply came in a flash. It seems like the King had been waiting in front of the communicator for a long time.

(King) 『How is King Seven doing?』

We just separated yesterday, she won't get sick so soon, you know!

Oh, We carefully kept in mind to use callsigns to prevent someone or even spies knowing whom the King is currently contacting to. I had already changed the frequency to the one I had in my territory, hence I'm not worried about being tapped by the delegation's carriage too.

The communicator that I used right now to contact the Royal Palace was from my home, so that's also not a problem.

In addition, The delegation's communicator was instructed to be always turned off except needed. The small solar panel on the carriage's roof alone won't have enough power and it will be unlikely for them to contact the royal palace or me while on the move.

If they really need to contact me and are in a hurry, they could call the Royal Palace several times with considerable intervals. There will probably be someone in the Royal Palace who will always be in charge if there's something going on and they will forward it to me via the communicator. I also have  already reported that we will always be in the car and monitor as much as possible around the second noon chime.
