Chapter 161 (1/2)

161. Another World Trip 1

”ah, I found that boat!” (Mitsuha)

” ”you found that boat?” ” (the King and his aide)

Their words are overlapping. The match is perfect!

”Y-yes, I recovered an unmanned ship that was drifting offsh.o.r.e” (Mitsuha)

When I transferred it here, the crew had already been evacuated to the rescue ship. Thus, it was unmanned. So it's not a lie.

” ”……” ” (the King and his aide)

And everywhere they go, the king and his aide were treated as state guests, or rather, [territory guests]. And then we have dinner at the territory mansion.

In order to bring out the unique traits of this world, the dishes are focused on things like horned rabbit steak, orc shogayaki, soy braised anomalocaris, and deep fried hallucigenia.

The king seems to fond of the horned rabbit, I heard he muttered [If we cultured and domesticated this, we could make products out of its meat and horn, and we could export it as our specialty products…]. Come to think about it, I did give a number of horned rabbits…

They tend to attack human, but they have strong fertility. Please don't let them escape to the wild and disrupting the Earth's ecosystem.

Since there is only me who can communicate with them, I just kept talking between the three of us.

The king and his aide are good people, but this trip is in the interest of their country, so behind this calm conversation, there's a fairly intense battle.

”Would you let our country help the reparation of that sailboat? We will dispatch several shipbuilders. The payment can be in the form of gold ingots, jewelries, or samples of rare animals and plants…” (Bureaucrat-san)

”Well, that's a good idea. It would be difficult for a country with no experience to make such things like ship rigging or sailcloth from scratch” (the King)

A One-two punch from Bureaucrat-san and the King.

”Well, your country doesn't have the technology to build large sailing boat, does it?” (Mitsuha)

Right, large-scale sailing boats are still being built and operated by countries that can afford to do so. j.a.pan, UK, USA, Russia, Germany, Poland, Mexico, Norway, Netherland, etc. …some of them are owned by local governments such as cities…
