Chapter 54 (2/2)
“It seems that you’ve reached the sa this water while in cold sweat?”
“But will that really happen? To put the existence of irl”
“There is no need for him to cause that much disturbanceAll he need to do is publish the information that he have about Alice Alford, hold a press conference and say ‘I still love her’That alone will irl whileus the evil countryPerhaps this is the reason why he took control of media?”
That’s true, Noah’s CMs had such impact that can cause social phenoraument, the entire world will side with Noah in the blink of an eye
Aa~ that kid really is a monsterHow far can he see into the future? How can he consider all the possible outcomes no matter how small it is?
“Here’s ill doWe will provide all information that we know about ‘Project Alice’ and prove that we have no relation with the cult group called ‘New World’Head back to headquarters and gather up the relevant documents immediately”
“I will do that right away!”
I made a salute to the director, jumped out of the room and head for the elevatorI have to co and take actionI reet a video where we breed our country’s treasure, the rare Russian Desman, ‘Vifuhori’That will somehow keep him occupied for a couple of hours(TN: I’m not sure with Vifuhori(ヴィーフホリ)Don’t know if its a breed, a nale, caIf someone knohat this means, let me know in the comment)
Thinking that, I pick up the terminal attached in my waist and sent instructions toits sweet time… I repeatedly press the elevator button──
—- Arakawa Kouki Point of View —-
The kacha kacha sound of the knife echoes in the roohts, Lieutenant Colonel and Yuri-san said “We will need to consult with our superiors” in a panic and went outside of the roo beyond their authority to decide and this is so they did not anticipateAfter that, I just keep on eating while Anton-san is being silent and gru such prediction(TN: kacha kacha is the SFX of the knife with the plate, there are no English word to translate that)
“The food is delicious isn’t it, Anton-san? Would be great if we have green tea instead of water”
“……I’m envious of you Kouki-kunIn this situation, how can youreckless? If so happens to you, I don’t knohat to say to Miki-san“
Is he angry withfor poison? I already explained that to him but why are you still so worriedMore that that, there is so I’d like to ask Anton-sanI created a chat rooer until he noticedI then send an invitation to his registered tered so sorry if we had to talk this wayThis program is created by Noah’s Technical Departh so please scra?]
[Do you know the woman as dressed as maid earlier?]
When I noticed Anton-san entered the chatroom, I asked hi on his reply, it is possible to have a big change on how the negotiation should go once the Lieutenant Colonel is backAnton-san looks at the e that I wrote with a furrowed eyebrows and briefly answered
[You noticed that? That’s right, her code naave me a knife ritten characters?]
[I don’t knowI didn’t realize that so like that happened]
Fumu, so the beautiful maid e passed by the corridor is really an allyIf so, the bellboy is also probably afor asyluuess I should ask hi asylum for 18 peopleI think that is also the reason why Sashsan is here but is there anything you know about it? Even trivial ]
[It has been three years since I left Chernobog so I don’t have any ideaI think soence departh]
As expected, we don’t have enough infor her but…… she will definitely get angry withto Russia without her permissionThere is also Claire-san who I left with all that workThat beautiful face while wearing glasses and“Are you ready to die?”, I’m confident that I will leak in fear when that happens
I don’t want to face the anger of the scary witches, that’s why I do not want to rely on them as much as possibleHowever, we cannota swirl of dilemma inside ry while saying “Man don’t hesitate!! Take action!!”
“It can’t be helped, I’ll ask ive us more information”
Anton-san look at me in surprised when I made a bitter decisionIt is probably because the icon on the upper left corner of the screen in our terminal disappeared when the Lieutenant Colonel and Yuri-san left the roo to keep us isolated and hinder us fro extra information or it is just standard security but in any case, it is useless
“Kouki-kun, that… you et in touch to anyone from outsideIt’s probably an electronic interference”
“No probleeneration quantum terminal ree of electronic interference is nothing── right mom?”
I look at the camera on uess is correct, mom should have return home when Claire-san noticed that I head for Russia and report it tothe microphone on rab my current situation
“Since when did you notice? Also, don’t worry about the rooainst electronic interference”
Yossha! I figured it is like that after allAt the same tiure of Noah’s Devil King, Arakawa Miki, was displayed on the screenAlthough her facial expression is just how I expect it, I still wished that I rong
“It is because h I arrived in Russia… by the way… Claire-san is?”
“She left with a large transport plane an hour ago to pick you upSince the plane took off together with an aerial refueling aircraft, she is probably waiting outside Russian Air space until we contact her─── when you see her,Tranquilizer Gun with her”
Moave s, you should have stopped Claire-san in the first placeI am not macho, won’t I die if shot with that kind of Tranquilizer Gun!? Worst case, I will use Anton-san as a shi+eldAnyway, I have to ask ht now
“As expected, I cannot run away from herMore than that, I sure you already heard our previous conversationDo you knohat is the situation here in Russia?”
“Unfortunately, I do not have any inforence Depart their attention to the United States and EU”
Are you serious? There goeshere, if only I had a hint or so to do?”
“Unn?”
“I cannot understand what you were thinking when you went to Russia to negotiate but since it’s you, there must be some kind of reasonIf only you let otiation for you”
Sorry, but there is not such big reasonI was just happy that Anton-san relied on ht I could find a place here in Russia where I can sell aniet involved in a troublesootiation, it is my responsibility to end it
“That’s unnecessaryBesides, there is so that I want to doI will take responsibility to see things to the endWhat I’d like to askasyluh)…… recently, you are acting like an adultOkay, leave it to et, there are people worried about youThere is no shas are impossible”
“I understand, I will remember that”
As I reply, mom who looks lonely disappears on the screen and the control on my tero away from your parents but I wish she wouldn’tfor you so please forgive s, I decided to assess our current situation in my head──
—- Yakov Tarkovsky Point of View —-
I left Arakawa eating in the rooo to a suite one floor belowI look at the coence Service, who is sitting across the tableThe director has been silent for a long ti from his bottle of waterI talked to him since I cannot stay silent any more
“Director, what should we do?”
At the sa water and take out a cigar case froars to me and after I thanked him, I pulled one and lit itThe Director then finally opened his‘who’, I understand that he is talking about Arakawa Kouki who is currently enjoying his h he is just a freshman at a Technical Academy, he knows the exact position of a diahly classified secrets of our country
I can’t help but feel fear towards him but could it be that the Director feels the same?
“Do you kno he found out about the Polonium?”
“I do not knowAll docue, so Arakawa should not know anything about it unless he invades the underground safe”
“Yet he knew…”
He is telling us, ‘I know things that everyone does not know’He did not only outwit us, he also had us dancing in his palmsI was not optimistic but somewhere in my heart I cannot deny the idea ‘He is a child after all’ when I first saw hiabout?”
“No e only learned about that this !? Arakawa shouldn’t know about…”
In the middle of my sentence,about it and is only ‘pretending’ that he didn’t know to negotiate with usIf you think about it, soht fro a diae just for Senior Leiutenant Anton’s former officer is too favorable for us
Could it be that he knows everything and is just waiting for us to tell hience that we have, Arakawa Kouki’s mental state has reotiation is ‘his warning’ telling us that ‘if we tell e know, you will not be harirl naather inforence networkThis was the conclusion of a Lieutenant Colonel during the United Nation’s Rescue MeetingHe probably found evidence that ere involved in so”
“If that is true then we are in serious troubleHe is a roup alone for Alice AlfordEven though his ethical sense improved, he currently have the et us all killed…”
Besides, Arakawa is not the only eneht, the Russian Federation is will be criticized by countries all over the worldIf that happens, not only ill lose power as a er of Arakawa FaroupThe Russian constituents who are quiet ake up and cause serious confusionA massive confusion that will lead to──
“World War 3…”
“It seems that you’ve reached the sa this water while in cold sweat?”
“But will that really happen? To put the existence of irl”
“There is no need for him to cause that much disturbanceAll he need to do is publish the information that he have about Alice Alford, hold a press conference and say ‘I still love her’That alone will irl whileus the evil countryPerhaps this is the reason why he took control of media?”
That’s true, Noah’s CMs had such impact that can cause social phenoraument, the entire world will side with Noah in the blink of an eye
Aa~ that kid really is a monsterHow far can he see into the future? How can he consider all the possible outcomes no matter how small it is?
“Here’s ill doWe will provide all information that we know about ‘Project Alice’ and prove that we have no relation with the cult group called ‘New World’Head back to headquarters and gather up the relevant docuht away!”
I made a salute to the director, jumped out of the room and head for the elevatorI have to co and take actionI reet a video where we breed our country’s treasure, the rare Russian Desman, ‘Vifuhori’That will somehow keep him occupied for a couple of hours(TN: I’m not sure with Vifuhori(ヴィーフホリ)Don’t know if its a breed, a nale, caIf someone knohat thisthat, I pick up the terminal attached in my waist and sent instructions toits sweet time… I repeatedly press the elevator button──
