Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 149

149. Kidnapping 2

After giving a brief explanation to the men in black with the clerk as a witness at the moment of the kidnapping, the criminals were detained and taken off in four cars. Maybe they will be taken to the underground interrogation room of this country’s intelligence organization.

When I tried to push the compensation of broken vase to the men in black, the said, [Because it is in our jurisdiction, we will cover the compensation], before they escaped. Damn.

Then I tried to push the compensation directly to the store manager as a last resort, but he said [It’s cheap, mass-produced anyway, so I don’t mind if it was broken to stop the girl from being abducted]

Well, it would be a little strange for the victims of the kidnapping case to compensate. Certainly, if a rumor spreads that the victim was asked for compensations, the store could be in a bad position.

Then we have to go back to the store and pay for what we ate and apologize to the other customers. It created a big uproar, and people who were eating ice cream or something might have melted while they are coming out to see… tte, they just reaped what the sowed. We don’t have to pay for it because it’s their self-responsibility, right?

“… and how was the situation?” (Mitsuha)

After confirming that they weren’t injured or traumatized, we moved to a place where we could calm down and talk. …at the Viscount Yamano’s residence in Japan.

Then I brewed tea and served rice crackers for them, everything is prepared, now let’s confirm the chronology.

“I came out from the toilet, washed my hands, and waited for Colette. And when Colette came out from the toilet, several women approached us…” (Sabine-chan)

Yeah, it’s a big no-no if a man comes in. …well, even if it’s woman, it doesn’t change the fact that kidnapping is a huge problem.

“Suddenly, the women swipes Colette and me from behind, pushes a cloth into our mouth, lower their body to make us hard to find from the checkout counter, and goes straight from the toilet to the entrance of the store…” (Sabine-chan)

“Eeeeehh!!” (Mitsuha)

Just now, from Sabine-chan’s story, there is super important information!

I grabbed Colette-chan’s right hand in a hurry. The right hand that currently holding a rice cracker.

“…go wash your hands!” (Mitsuha)

Yeah, right now, Colette hasn’t washed her hands after she came out from the toilet! Regardless of the [Toilet]!!

And, while we’re waiting Colette-chan washing her hands, we paused the talk in the meantime.

“…then I kept myself quiet and calm, and when we passed by the vase at the entrance, I kicked it as hard as I can to keep everyone informed” (Sabine-chan)

Ooh, as expected. But I had thought that it was Colette-chan’s doing…

“And I scratched their face and bit their arm, those people had pained expression, but they didn’t say a word. That should’ve been pretty painful, but they were endured it…” (Colette-chan)

A supplementary explanation from Colette-chan.

Well, because work is work, they would endure that much. After all, their country’s prestige depends on their life.

And, well, from that point, I know the rest…

But thank goodness. Really, really, thank goodness.

Both of them weren’t hurt, and they don’t have any kind of PTSD. Thank goodness I made in time before they were completely taken away…

However, that was a hindsight bias.

Just because the result was good, that doesn’t mean that there was no other possible outcome.

Despite the unsuccessful attempt, the sin of for-profit kidnapping is heavy.

And let me tell the world the meaning of picking a fight with Viscount Yamano.

Watch the wrath of Yamano Household!!!

“That’s why I decided to take the fight, best regards!” (Mitsuha)

“No, best regards, you say…” (Captain-san)

To the captain who look troubled, I unilaterally conveyed my request.

“For the time being, I’ll ask the elites in this country to meet the culprits. After that, I will make the country that has planned something weird experience the best kind of regret, so please help me with that!” (Mitsuha)

“Oi oi… Well, we’re also responsible for this matter. It can’t be helped…” (Captain-san)

Eh? What do you mean?

“What are you responsible for?” (Mitsuha)

The captain answered my question while scratching his head.

“From the story I just heard, I am well understood the reason of why… not quite, the [Method] of how you were attacked. It’s very rudimentary. It’s your [Pattern of Conduct]” (Captain-san)

“Pattern of Conduct? What’s that?” (Mitsuha)

“You’re doing the same thing every time you come here. Whenever you come here, you will send replies with your email, and those who receive it will know [Oh, the princess has come]. And if you’re here, they know that you will go to a sweets shop, and if you go, you will definitely eat until you upset your stomach and go to the toilet on a rotating basis. If the opponent’s pattern of conduct is the same every time, and if that pattern can be perceived, it’ll be easy to attack at the best timing.” (Captain-san)

“Ah…” (Mitsuha)

How stupid of me! That is the basic of the basic of bodyguarding, never let the client to take fixed actions!

I disregarded the possibility that someone might use this method, even though they warned me so much, I was careless! And if it went poorly, Sabine-chan’s and Colette-chan’s lives may be involved in this, what a great blunder! Waaaahhh……

And why didn’t we have an emergency beacon or a GPS transmitter… I have to prepare it soon…

“Well, you’re an amateur. For that reason, of course, we should’ve taught you properly. Sorry, it’s our mistake…” (Captain-san)

Even though captain-san said that, this time is my fault no matter how you see it. Damn…

Alright, let’s call [that] number…

“Nice to meet you, I am Nanoha” (Mitsuha)

“……” (Kidnapper)

I gave my alias to a handcuffed woman in the cell in front of me.

Right, she’s one of the kidnappers.

Everyone seems to be put in separate cells so that they don’t talk to each other. Well, I guess they have conducted an interrogation, they said [The other suspects have talked about everything].

Of course, this is not a prison. This place is more of a [Dark Place].

“Where do you came from?” (Mitsuha)

I’m talking in English right now. A spy would have mastered English and the language of the country they’re invading, in addition to their own language.

The old me could never be a spy, yup!

…No, I didn’t have plan to become one.

But now I’m a brilliant agent who can steal anything in any language.

…..No, I won’t become one!

And there was no reply from the woman, but the matter has already over.

“Just follow the path of your life, Become a bride of a good man, and be happy” (Mitsuha) (Note: She uses eastern Japanese dialect here)

“Eh…” (the woman)

To those words I said just before I left, the woman froze and opened her eyes wide.

Yeah, that was the dialect I acquired earlier, the dialect of that woman’s hometown.

Now that I know her native language, with this, the country of origin of this woman is almost certain. Of course, I meet with the other kidnappers too, just in case.

I don’t want to ask any details and I don’t have to. But if I know where they came from, that’s enough.

… Yes, now I know who I have to hit back.

“Captain-san, I know their COO, please collect the information. Location of their Intelligence department headquarters and location the homes, villas, etc. of the elites of that department and the government…” (Mitsuha)

“Don’t be absurd! That sort of thing, those are super confidential piece of…” (Captain-san)

“You should just ask that place” (Mitsuha)

“Eh?” (Captain-san)

I proceed to explain it to captain-san who has stupid look on his face.

“Well, there’s no way for a mercenary group from another country would know. That’s why you should just ask someone who know. If you ask them as [An agent of Princess Nanoha, the visitor from another world] rather than [Mercenary corps, Wolf Fang], I think they will tell you. You can just pick a contact from participant list in the different world roundtable. You can also tell them that if they give us good information, we will give them one sample of seaweed and marine life from the other world as a token of appreciation” (Mitsuha)

When I say so, Captain-san has an amazed look on his face.

“…you, I don’t know if you’re stupid or cunning, which one is it?” (Captain-san)

How rude of you, Captain-san!!
