Chapter 53 (2/2)
“We are hereWe have prepared the best suite, I hope you like it”
“Despite my sudden visit, I’m amazed that you were able to prepare such place for me”
While walking through the corridor, I enjoy the feeling of the soft carpet through my shoesA beautiful e a cart
The beautiful woman bow to us as she pass to our side but as she move the cart to the wall, it lost its balance and the cart fall down spreading the content of the cart throughout the floorAnton-san who saw that, go to her to help pick them up
“Hey, are you okay?”
“I apologize!! Please allow et your clothes dirty because of this”
The beautiful wo herShe then brush off the coat of Anton-san to clean it up but I saw it
While the Lieutenant Colonel and Yuri-san were glaring at the clumsy e her to blocking their field of vision on her hand── she slip a small pistol inside Anton-san’s pocket
“Please excuse me”
Since she is giving us a gun, I suppose she is an allyThe beautiful wo up, bowed and quickly leaveAnton-san and that girl’s facial expression did not change and are acting very naturallyIt was as if I a a spy ents, rather I ae inabout that, the Lieutenant Colonel stopped at the end of the corner and opened the door
“Sa, here we are… Please have a sit, ill have the meals ready as soon as possible”
“Sa, here we are… Please have a sit, ill have the meals ready as soon as possible”
As told, we enter the rooe tableThe Lieutenant Colonel sat down in front of me and Yuri-san sat down in front of Anton-sanNohat?
We can stay quiet until the food arrives but I think I need to break the silence so on how to start a conversation, the Lieutenant Colonel suddenly spoke to us while looking at his personal terminal
“Arakawsan, it is still under investigation but the person that you mentioned is apparently really in our custody and there was a possibility that they are arrested without solid evidence”
“Is that so, that’s goodThough, I’d like to think that I am not a person ill scout someone who actually committed a crime”
Yeah yeah, I know that we know that you cannot say “We don’t have theIt’s about time to tell themRights of Noah” or ‘that’ which we asked froate
“Lieutenant Colonel, if proved innocent and they accept my proposal──”
When I was talking to the Lieutenant Colonel, someone knocked on the door and inforLieutenant Colonel stands up from his chair after he reply and unlocks the door to let the employee in
A s dishes and tableware to our tableA knife with a little bit of dirt was placed in front of meWhen I look at it closely, it was not dirt but very thin characters that can only be seen in a very close distance
“Seeking Asylum, 18 people”
You are not a real eeAnton-san said that he doesn’t talkthe truthIt is better not to have strong connection with other agent so in case that one is caught in another country, information is can be controlled
Despite all of that, the beautiful wo us to save their foroing on in this country? Did a political change took place? or are they involved in sole? I desperately think about it even though my mind is not as powerful as my momThe Lieutenant Colonel smile and speaks to both Anton-san and me
“Sa sa~ ArakawsanPlease eatYou too, Senior Lieutenant Anton, I’m sure its been a while since you last ate the food of your motherland”
Really? Anton-san was a Senior Lieutenant… I do not know much about military rank in Russian Army since they are needlessly complicatedI thank the Lieutenant Colonel and cut out the dish using the knife to erase the written characters, Anton-san stopped me with a somewhat panicked voice
“Kouki-kun! Before you eat, allow me…”
Actually, the terh it is the basic model, has a device to measure concentration of contamination even in the air and it has no responseIts ironic that it is useful right now even though its original purpose is for when I am in the laboratory
“Do not be so rude Anton-san, they prepared this dinner and besides there is noany harm to me”
“but…”
“Really, it’s okaySeeIt’s tasty”
Although it is bad e lump of meat into my ood idea! It will beforward into what kind of reaction Lieutenant Colonel and Yuri-san will make, I’m pretty sure they will be surprised
“In addition, we can immediately detect if they use a normal poison into our‘polonium’ but since I aainst it so most likely they will do that”
“Po, Polo?”
Anton-san had a face full of questionhard to Anton-sanYuri-san who don’t change his expression is now having a troubled face while wiping hissimilar to that really happened in this worldI confirmed that I was able to make them uncomfortable
“Lieutenant Colonel, please don’t stare at him with such a scary faceHe, who is a Senior Lieutenant, will not know anything about poloniuh enough should know about thisI’m actually surprised that Lieutenant Colonel knohat I a aboutIt seems like you have access on advanced information”
“Uh! Certainly, I aher than Lieutenant”
Seriously? You are ad just like thatMore than half of what I said is just a bluffRather, based on what he said, his real rank is higher than a ‘Lieutenant Colonel’I just want to make them uncomfortable but we arrive into this situation, noe have the upper handThen I suppose I should strike while the iron is hot
“Uh! Certainly, I aher than Lieutenant”
Seriously? You are ad just like thatMore than half of what I said is just a bluffRather, based on what he said, his real rank is higher than a ‘Lieutenant Colonel’I just want to make them uncomfortable but we arrive into this situation, noe have the upper handThen I suppose I should strike while the iron is hot
“Ma~ let’s put aside the poloniu earlier… if the person I a was proved to be innocent and acceptsin all of their ‘subordinates’ as well not just the person itself”
“…… all of them?
“Yes, of course I will not take away such talents without offering so of equivalent value”
Although this is different froinal plan, the previous bellboy earlier is most probably a subordinate of Anton’s former bossI will help as ood to have someone seriously rely on me, but that is a secret that only I will know
If this goes well, ill be able to acquire people with high level of skillsI have personally seen their abilities, it will be a waste to ignore them
“Indeed, it will be difficult for our country to lost a large number of excellent individualsThis will also have a s out, we should avoid thatHowever it will depends on the offer of Arakawkun… there is a possibility of providing ‘special’ permission for this”
“I see, if you can provide ‘special reat”
After saying that, I drink a spoon of ‘ukha’I was expecting the peculiar smell of fish but this one is delicious, clear, and has beautiful colorIt also contains ingredients good forbody
As I was biting the fish that I got fro at me and seems want to inquire about the offerCalm down for a bit, if my mom is here and saw you like that she willabout it so you have to wait for a little bit more
“So then, ?”
As I sed the fish and drink frolass of water, the lieutenant who could not keep himself anymore finally asked a questionThis is the start of our battle… from this point on, I cannotconscious of what I a
“71° 39′ north latitude, 111° 11′ east longitude…”
“Hai?”
“There is a large area where you can mine diamonds within your countryIt is located at 71° 39′ north latitude, 111° 11′ east longitudeI cannot provide you a diamond to appraise but the diamonds in there are twice as hard as an ordinary diamond and is seemed to be best for industrial use”
“W-what on earth are you saying Arakawsan? Did you say Diamond Mine?”
“Here is a docuo, Anton-san’s friends survey the geology of the area and diamonds are confirmed within rocks that are on shallow placesIt is possible to ”
The Lieutenant Colonel grabbed the micro memory stick that I held out and quickly insert it into his ter next to him cannot compose himself anymore and also looked at the terminal of the Lieutenant Colonel
The docuiven theai Crater’ in est crater in Eurasia, in this world the ie crater and it cannot be seen clearly via satellite iesFor that reason, the place have been undiscovered and the area is never been surveyed
Actually, I asked Anton-san to soate and see if there is a possibility to discover a dia to the airportRather, considering the anomaly of this world that I reincarnated to since the impact is not that powerful on this world the possibility of a ‘dia created’ is plausible to make this world consistent when compared to the other worldMa~ I will just leave this kind of co about such things Yuri-san, who recovered first, unexpectedly opened his mouth for the first time
“Even if this document is trueSince it is a place that can be found in our territory,ill be able to find it sooner or laterI don’t think we can gain that much on this offer?”
I know thatThe nuating the geology of other country without perhtrope hereOriginally, this is an offer to trade for two people but now, I a it to confuse and make them unsettledNow, to present my real offer
“Of course I know thatThe content written in that hts for Russia to broadcast in Noah Channel for free”
Looking at the expression of the Lieutenant colonel and Yuri-san who had their lass of water with a big smile on my face──
Arakawa Kouki Point of Vieas inside the airplane sitting oncoffee which is in a paper cup while spreading a newspaper to knohat s in today s newsI have been busy lately so I haven t experienced such free ti whileWhen I look outside the , I can see the Russian Air ForceFurtherin front of , I then heard an announcementWe will soon temporary land at an Air Force Base in MoscowWe will take off after around 15to the announceainThe ossan in front ofa Nnnnn sound, so I decided to fold the newspaper and fasten my seat beltStill Skinhead, I mean Anton san and I were able to secure a ticket after I use uys also boarded the plane with usMoreover, the hter jets who graciously started to escort our planeThanks to the the coffee that the beautiful oneesan brought me earlierI knoe haven t spoken to each other but when the announceht Since when did Russian Governuides for civilians to assist their tours I suddenly asked them in Russian and they were so surprised that even ht It was already over 4 hours since the plane took off fro me ever sinceThanks to that, I cannot enjoy my very first norht I was living with the erous looking fellows so your inti to round, he will explain the details later Explain I aal procedure so why are you changingdestination to an Air Force Base to arresthappens to you, it will be a great loss to the worldWe are just htHowever, rele mistakeIt will become a diplomatic issue The ossan were disnored the next to me was silent because I was able to explain to hi how otiationMoe in negotiation if you take the initiativeSo I think hard on the last 4 hours and was able to think of a solution to use the word diplomatic issue to stop our opponentsWith this, the ossans cannot forcibly take us away sorySince I was in a hurry earlier, I haven t eaten lunch and if this continue I will not be able to have dinner as wellMaybe I can ask theryOh yeah, I heard herring is a famous dish in Russia, how do you usually eat it Hm A it would be marinated or served as a soup called Ukha, its pretty tasty TN Ukha is a clear Russian soup, made from various types of fish Is that so, I hope I can eat it While talking, I look at the ossans and they were consulting at each other while saying prepare dinner in small voiceYoshi+ Yoshi+ Looks like I will be able to eat dinner once we land on the groundThe only possible problem left is if they mixed our meal with poison They have no reason to kill ht now so they cannot kill hi, it will definitely become a diplomatic issueI also asked Anton san earlier on our way to the airport and it seems that incident did not happen to this world so there is no worry of using radioactive substance such as polonium for assassinationTN that incident pertains to the assassination of Aleksandr Litvinenko, a former Russian security officer who received political asyluhly vocal critic of Russian President Vladi in November 2006 Now that I think about it, Claire san was always stealing a bite on ht she just want to taste the theood care ofKouki kun, it see at the fighter aircraft who are going awayAlright, in that case I will need to dothe appearance of the boss of these ossans who should be waiting on the ground, I drunk the rest of my coffee and throay the paper cupTN This is notlike this in the raw When we land to the ground, a relatively as blowingAlthough it was often misunderstood, Russia is not a cold place all year roundThe truth is that the average te su its short sue te that the current te for you, this way please As they say that, alk to the hangar which is in the corner of the baseA large four wheel drive car and a black luxury car was parked in thereOne of the ossan approach the luxury car, opens the door at the rear and urges us to get insideI can t back off now that I have coet in the carThere was an elderlya dark blue reeted me as soon as we have taken our sitPleased to meet you, Arakawa sanI aence ServiceThe n Affairs Nice to meet you Lieutenant ColonelAs you know I a me is Anton Volkkievich a former member of your country s secret unit As I say ht jab about Anton sanThe lieutenant made a clouded expression for a ht, I cannot do it as good as my mom but since I am here I can just do my bestSo, what is the purpose of your visit to our country The lieutenant ignored round and asked the purpose of my visit insteadHere is the first hurdle, Claire san said before If you want to negotiate carefully, you should approach theoal quickly, go straight to the pointThe purpose of our travel this time is to rescue the foro straight to the pointI d like you to hand over Anton san s forize but I do not knoho you are referring toAlso, supposedly we do have that person in our custody, how are you related to the with our internal affairs Let s stop playing aroundI believe it will be a problem if other countries find out that I am currently confined in this car As soon as I said the word confined , Yuri san eyebrow slightly moveMa what do you expect in this situation, only I can decide if I am confined or notThey can just say We do not know that person, please leave while forcing et out of the country but they will be in trouble if I say I was confined in Russia afterwardsIf that person is really in our custody since this is a country ruled by law, that person probably co to say that Noah is trying to release a cri up the na to check how serious I a to determine if my mom is involved to all of this I do not know his intention but I should answer the questionThink, how can I ansithout getting into trouble No way, I have not said such a thingI just heard this ht be due to some kind of mistake or miscommunication In that case, even if they were mistakenly arrested it will be hard for them to continue their current work after their releaseSo, I a to scout them and want to ask If they don t mind, they can ith us 39 I see, so that is your reason YesAlso, I have a special job to theht it is necessary to ask permission to soet them outThat s why I visit your countryOf course I will not leave you eive compensation 39 How s that As far as the reaction of the Lieutenant Colonel is concerned, I think there will be no problems on his answer but I am worried about Yuri san since he is just silent as usualWe reave his personal terminal to meA simple text was displayed on the screen, it says Kouki kun, just like you said that thing was found on that placeYoshi+, with this we can now htly nodded to Anton san and decided to talk to the lieutenantLieutenant Colonel, I d like you to confirm if that person in question is really in your custody or if they really coh I normally refuse this kind of request, I cannot refuse if the one asking is Arakawa sanIt will take some time so in the ratefully acceptI am ashamed to say this but I haven t eaten lunch because ofwhen he said I cannot refuse if the one asking is Arakawa san but whateverConsidering his attitude changed when I talk about couy knows about Anton san s forht frootiation is going well, it will be bad if all of my effort is wastedI can now understand why ht it was because she was tired from all the complicated talk but looks like that s not itI also heard froo to the training facility and beat up her subordinates It is because they feel a lot of stressTN Oni are a kind of Youkai from japanese folklore, variously translated as deres or trollsYoukai are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons in japanese FolkloreBy the way, I believe you saw our state of the art aircraft that was involved in escorting you to our country but as an expert,them While the car started to move towards the place where ill eat our dinner, the Lieutenant Colonel asked hter jets of Noah who are doing flight tests on Noah Island seeile and have more fire powerIt was ridiculously powerful that itcompared to thatTN SF SciFi Science Fiction I am not an expert, but let s see they look like manned aircraft, why not do an unmanned aircraft For exaround, the stress of the pilot is alleviated especially if it is a dangerous et is worth more than the aircraft then they can just use the jet itself once they used up all of their ammunitionUnlike powersuit, aircraft doesn t need precise controlI think these are the great advantages of an aircraft T the jet itself You don t need to be that surprised, I a you to do that with manned aircraft you know Since it is an un you to treat it like an expensive hter aircraft arehter jet are unmanned and I expect all the powersuit would be unh spec model used by some co to build a powersuit when Iabout the specs of a robot that I saw in an anime in my previous life but that one is impossibleWell, I really hope that its i to create an anti round and spaceWe have arrived I was starting to break in cold sweat thinking onneeapons which makes her look like a mad scientist as we arrived at our destinationI look outside the tinted glass, are we in an underground parking lot Several private cars are also parked nearbyAn ossan who see at the other vehicle opened the door and guide us towards the elevatorAll of you can stay here Lieutenant Colonel stops the ossans ere trying to ride the elevator with usFu in hope to discuss a better coe, there is no point in doing thatWhile I was thinking that, I atching the Lieutenant Colonel when he push the button for the 30th floorWe are originally heading to floor 83 but we cannot go to above floor 80 without passing through the security room on the 30th floor I see, so it will keep us safe but at the sa the placeActually, even at Hakone Base it is not possible to go to the underground floor whereto a different elevatorI guess this is a security standardJust like the Lieutenant Colonel said, we transfer to a different elevator on the 30th floor and get off to the 83rd floorA corridor similar to that of a luxury hotel is before my eyesWe are hereWe have prepared the best suite, I hope you like it Despite my sudden visit, I m amazed that you were able to prepare
