Chapter 280

Chapter 280 \n or something like that.

The reason why I can creep in so smoothly is because of this sense of security that I can always return to my home in an instant.

If I didn’t have this perfect escape method, there was no way I could break into enemy territory.

Except for my teleportation ability, I’m just an impotent girl no better than the child Colette in this world……

 

No one would be stupid enough to talk about secrets on the sales floor, so I won’t set up a recording device here.

Then, I stealthily proceed to the back.

Of course, the head-mounted night vision scope was already attached.

The reason the clothes are not ordinary military camouflage is that this is not a battlefield or a forest.

I decided that a slim, form-fitting leotard would be a better choice for sneaking in without making noise or catching on furniture or fixtures.

 

Oh, my body does not have bumps and slopes, so I’m comfortable in tight spaces…… Shut up!

I’m the type that comes in forms and shapes!\n

Also, it’s out of respect for the three cat-eye sisters.

The color is a dark dusty khaki because if it were all black, it would stand out. It’s different from the persimmon color.

 

Also, in a leotard, they could tell at a glance that I was unarmed and that I was just a little girl, so even if I get spotted, I’m naively hoping that I wouldn’t be attacked out of the blue.

The other side will want to catch us and make us give up as much information as possible, and we can escape as long as we don’t get a surprise blow.

Yeah, I think the guardless strategy is going to be a big part of my safety, right?

 

Well, I’m dressed like this because I know I’ll never be spotted.

As you can imagine, it’s a little embarrassing to dress like this when you’re in public view.

It’s embarrassing to even on Earth, but in this world, I’m sure I’ll be treated like a completely lascivious woman.

The small room for business meetings is also further ahead.

Because no one would be stupid enough to hold a meeting for criminal activities in a place like this.

The reception room……, or rather, the room for the superior clients. A recording device is set up here.

It’s super small, so I’ll just stick it on the back of the table.

 

The built-in microphone, omnidirectional 360-degree recording, sounds great, but it’s simply omnidirectional.

I’ll set it to only activate when it detects sound.

No, in terms of recording time, it’s fine to leave them running, but it’ll be a pain to check the contents later…… In any case, I have 10 of these recorders…….

 \nThis time, I don’t have to worry about my capability to give evidence in court if the recording is choppy, so I’ll just go with the easy way out.

I can easily secure the contents of the safe by using my teleportation ability, but even if I have the documents related to petty crimes, such as back books and forged documents, there’s no way I can easily find any documents related to robbing other stores in the same vault, so I’ll pass this time.

 

……Yeah, ⟬this time⟭, you know.

In this case, the goods were broken and ruined, not stolen, so it’s pointless to check the warehouse.

Unlike the Vanel Kingdom, the only distribution route for our products in this country is the Larushia trade, so if our products were to flow through any other route, we would be exposed immediately and be out at once.

Even if I tried to distribute it to neighboring countries, all the countries around here are monopolized by the female merchant owner who is under my control, so bringing it in from other countries would be immediately noticed.

Besides, they will be found out by customs when they are brought in in the first place.

As expected, no matter how lucrative the business association is, there is no way they can bribe all the officials and tax agents of other countries.

Of course, even the criminals knew that which is why they destroyed the goods instead of stealing them.

 

Then, as a threat and warning, they assaulted several people, including the owner of the business, Larushia. They were probably trying to scare the employees into quitting one after another so that we would not be able to do business.

Was the murder of the guard just to make an example? Or was it an outburst by the perpetrator who got upset when he was interrupted while trying to harass a young woman?……

Well, it’s the same either way.

It’s like stabbing someone with a knife and then saying, ⟬I didn’t mean to kill you!⟭

Do you think the victim was a planarian?

 

Anyway, this time, we’re just gathering information. It’s not like we’ve established that this business association is the culprit yet.

The probability is only about 98 percent, so yeah.

 

Oh, this is a reception room. Set, yosh set!…….

I installed all 10, so I returned.

It was an easy job.\nVisit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

[Now then, spread the story. Casually…] Mitsuha

[[[[[[Yes!]]]]]]

 

The next day, I asked everyone at Larushia Trading to spread the word about ⟬what happened to the shopkeepers and security guards⟭ casually.

Since it has already been quite a while since the attack, it is unlikely that the perpetrators will suddenly consult with us about this matter now. So, I’m going to ・・・・・・・・ get them to consult with me・・・・・・

If there’s any movement on their side. And if it’s something that’s not good for us.

……Yeah, I’d consult with my friends……

 

=====

 

Three days later, I collected the recorder.

Well, all I have to do is walk around the front of the store and say, ⟬Recorders, follow me!⟭ and transfer to Earth.

The recording will be interrupted if I don’t set up another one, but I don’t mind. We can use the results to decide whether or not to install another one.

 

[……So, which is why……] Mitsuha

[[You want us to go over three days’ worth of recordings?]]

 

Yes, I asked Colette and Sabine to work part-time for me.

It seemed like a hassle to check the contents of three days’ worth of recordings over ten pieces of equipment.

Once the voice input is gone, the recording will stop after a while, so it’s not like you have to replay 72 hours with 10 recorders that’ll take 720 hours of recording to check…… Yeah, that’s a pain.

\n 

[I told you I’d pay for the job, didn’t I? Please!] Mitsuha

[……U~u…… Mou. It can’t be helped, Mitsuha-oneesama……] Sabine

 

Sabine-chan gave me a dumbfounded look.

 

[Are you 〇〇raemon!] Mitsuha

[Mitsuemon?] Colette

[The retreat of the Echigo crepe wholesaler!!] Mitsuha

(TN: 「越後のちりめん問屋の隠居かっ！！」)

 

I was able to reply to Colette’s jab.

……Quite disciplined, aren’t they?

After all, these two are the only two people in my company who understand the language of the new continent, besides me. I have no choice, you know.

 

By the way, the pay for this part-time work is not money.

There was no way these two would accept money from me.

……Oh, except for Colette’s salary. She’s saving it for the future and sending money home to her parents.

 

Anyway, they are not the kind of people who would take money from me for a favor like this.

Colette gave me a coupon for ⟬one round of selfishness⟭, and Sabine gave me a coupon for ⟬one useful tool from the home country of Mitsuha⟭.

Let’s pray that this won’t cause me any fatal damage later on……

That’s right, no campers or tanks allowed, Sabine!!
