Chapter 151 (1/2)

151. Kidnapping 4

”…this is troubling. I wonder what to do…” (Mitsuha)

There are various buildings such as mansions, warehouses, offices, etc. in front of me.

”If I throw these oversized garbage, the amount is too much and it's hard to process. When we're done with everything, there's no other choice but to return these huh… wait, no, that's obviously bad! A large-scale transfer costs the life force, at the time of the attack is one thing, but to return these would require the equivalent life force, no one would waste such thing… Alright, let's sell the furniture and destroy the mansions and use it as material! This is a perfect chance, I wanted to build a big storage… And for the offices… ” (Mitsuha)

Right, it feels a little bit off if I use the mansions as it is, but I could put them to use if I broke them apart. However, for the high-rise buildings, I'm still doubtful concerning the concrete piles or the foundations, there's too much anxiety to use as it is. In addition, electricity is required to operate the buildings properly, I mean, for the water supply, elevators, etc., so it is not convenient. And it's hard to break them apart, and there's no way to use the rubble.

”Alright, let's make them into fish reefs! The top floor of the building should be above the sea surface to prevent boat from hitting it or caught by fishing nets, it can also be used as evacuation site in case of fishing boat accidents… It may be good to make it a fishing spot. Yeah, that's good!” (Mitsuha)

What a novel way to use waste, with this I can rest a.s.sured.

”Please, convey the message to Her Highness the Princess! I must hurry to explain to Her Highness the Princess, who has misunderstood an event that has nothing to do with our country …” (the diplomat)

Apparently, they perceived that the high-pressure att.i.tude was counterproductive, and figured that the telephone and e-mail would not work, thus they sent a low-profile diplomat directly to Wolf Fang's base.

But…

”Even if you say that, there's nothing I can do if she doesn't come here by herself…” (Captain-san)

Captain-san no longer bother to use polite language.

”And if you managed to meet her, don't call her [Her Highness the Princess]. She abandoned that t.i.tle. It'll worsen her mood. Call her [Her excellency the Viscount]… no, just call her [Viscount]” (Captain-san)

”R-right…” (the diplomat)

And eventually, the diplomat returned, without agreeing to any promise or requests. But, well, the diplomat said something like [Please inform me when the Princess comes]…

”Hmmm, you came huh…” (Captain-san)

After confirming that the diplomat had left the building, I appeared in his office. And Captain-san gave me the letter given by the diplomat. I didn't come here by transfer though. I was always listening in the next room by putting a stethoscope against the wall… Littman stethoscopes have good performance, umu.

”What's written there?” (Captain-san)

I shrugged and explained to the interested Captain-san.
