Chapter 150 (1/2)

150. Kidnapping 3

”What did you say!? Operation failed!? Are you saying that the conclusions the a.n.a.lysis group made were wrong, and those children were really the users of [Instant Death Magic]!? You were so confident that it was a bluff to keep them out of danger so that person can direct all the danger to herself, weren't you!? I issued the permit for the operation because I believed that. …Well, even if they were killed by those children, their ident.i.ties will never be leaked… even if they were captured, they would choose to suicide rather than leaking their ident.i.ty. We know that their family and clans will always be up to task, they will never betray the country. So, how was the situation?” (bad man)

The man who seems to be in charge of the operation, confirmed the situation after receiving reports from his subordinate that the operation had failed. The source of the information was a direct report from multiple observers who saw everything from the inside of a car at the other parking lot and from inside the shop disguised as a normal customer, so there's no problem in reliability.

”…Hmm, then, we have no evidence that the child had used instant death magic or something? In that regard, the a.n.a.lysis team got it right huh…   So, the two kids had been rescued in an unexpected way, and the agents were trapped in the cars with no tires. And they were taken alive…” (bad man)

It wouldn't be weird if they committed suicide in that situation, but they don't have to push themselves. As long as they keep quiet, they can buy the time and wait for the opportunity to escape.

If they can't escape and can't endure the torture, they just have to commit suicide at that point. Even if the poison were seized, there are many ways to suicide, such as biting the tongue, smashing the head against the wall, cutting the artery with some debris, there's many more.

”Well whatever, we just failed this once. There's no evidence of our involvement, and even if the captured agents decided to open their mouth, just say that it was a conspiracy, alleging that agents from other countries are lying to rub their sins against our country. We must absolutely get that princess and conquer the wealth of another world! If we can bring troops about one corps, we can do anything. We can sell antique outdated weapons in the warehouse in exchange for gold or jewelry. It cut her life force? To h.e.l.l with that! Hmph, because she kicked our country out of the conference, we should at least enrich ourselves!” (bad man)

Then the subordinates came out of the room all at once.

”… so this is the building of the intelligence bureau huh…” (Mitsuha)

I transferred to an eight-story building In the middle of the night.

…it's the building of the intelligence department of a certain country.

The transfer was carried out after I got the firm image of the location based on the pictures provided by a certain country, satellite pictures, lat.i.tude and longitude, etc. Well, on the earth, it's convenient to locate a specific location because you can do this. Air reconnaissance has allowed me to locate some part of the new continent, but it's only a small part of the continent as a whole. We flew over a few countries at most.

I should've explored the old continent for a little bit too, what a blunder…

Really, what a blunder…

Maybe I should do another air recon next time. On both the old and the new continent. Now that I can transfer directly to new continent, we should continue from where we left last time.

…tte, it's not the time to think about that now. I have to finish my mission quickly.

The building has many windows lit, even at midnight. Do they have a lot of overtimers or is it open 24 hours?

Well whatever, mission start!

”Transfer!” (Mitsuha)
