When Mitsuha arrived at the Boses residence in the capital, the servants had already lined up in a row for welcoming. Usually, they would need to prepare in a hurry when the carriage arrives; with a few people lined up in front of the door and the others back-breakingly getting the tea, footbath, and the bath for removing the sweat and dirt ready. This was unavoidable because the estimated arrival time can vary around several days, It’s difficult to prepare in advance before they arrive.*It appears that the orphan boy did a good job. He is probably bouncing around. (弾んで貰えたことであろう。)***The butler Rufus takes the front of the row at the same time Mitsuha and Sabine arrive at the Boses residence. All the Boses residence’s servants know Sabine as well. Rufus had all the servants go to Mitsuha’s store to memorize Sabine’s face because she is frequently with Mitsuha and it would be a major incident if they were by some chance rude.***The Earl’s group arrived shortly thereafter. Having changed her position from the safest seat in the middle to the side when they arrived at the capital, Beatrice who’s the first to comes down from the Earl’s family carriage was surprised to notice Sabine next to Mitsuha when she was about to jump at her.***“H… huh?”*“Long time no see Beatrice-chan”*Sabine greet Beatrice with a smile while clinging to Mitsuha’s arm.*“Gununu……”*And Beatrice groaned with a regretful face for some reason.*Mitsuha smiles wryly.***“Oh my, what are you doing I wonder…”*“Here comes Iris-sama!”*“Huh…”***Mitsuha turns blue, her heart’s voice unexpectedly leaked out of her mouth from Iris-sama’s words that sounded like something she heard once before.*And, Iris-sama puffs her cheeks at being treated like the last boss.*Sabine, Beatrice and the men breathe out a sigh while seeing off Mitsuha who was grabbed and pulled by the nape of her neck.*“” “Haa~……” “”\n
*******“So, why did you depart early alone without contacting us?”*Iris-sama was furious.*She thought that they would be finally traveling together with Mitsuha so she was especially sour.***“N, no that, that was right when the work had reached a point where I can take a break…”*“Then, you could have come to our place in that case!”***(N, no! I need a reason……)*Mitsuha hurried.*(Because there was a way to move quickly…, a car? A bicycle… it’s no good, even if that could be a reason for a leaving late, it won’t be a reason for leaving early…)***Waaaa, and then, while Mitsuha was filled with impatience and anxiety, a lifeboat was tossed in from an unexpected direction.***“Oh, that’s because I asked her”*“”Huh?””*Iris-sama and Earl were surprised at Sabine-chan’s words.*Mitsuha almost raised her voice too but managed to suppress it somehow.***“It’s because I have been sending letters to “come to capital as soon as possible”, and with fairly strong words…”* \n**If the princess says so, they can’t be angry anymore. Because that’ll be blaming her for obeying the princess’s request after all.*In addition, the fact that the two people welcomed them together increased the credibility.*Reluctantly, Iris-sama gives up any further pursuit.***When Mitsuha looks at Sabine-chan with gratitude thinking “I’m saved”, a wicked smile appeared on that face.***(Oh shooooot!!!)***Weakness was seized!*Mitsuha was shocked.*Probably, she realizes that there is a reason it can’t be honestly told.*And the bright Sabine-chan probably read from the Earl’s attitude that “the Earl knows the reason”.***Sabine-chan never touches on the secrets Mitsuha really needs to protect. However, she does think that it’s okay to know if “someone else knows”. Or rather, maybe she can’t forgive “other people knowing something about Mitsuha that she doesn’t know.”*In other words, what that would mean is…… that her pursuit will not stop until Mitsuha speaks her secret.*Speak it or present something else as a bargaining chip…*Either way, it’ll be a transaction where a big loss was certain.*********“……so, you will tell me right, Mitsuha-neesama” \nNo, science has made progress. In the old equipment that father had, the HF radio goes up to 28 MHz; and 50 MHz, 144 MHz and 430 MHz each had dedicated devices, the ground plane antenna only works for 144 MHz and higher, so you even needed to set up a stupidly large 21 MHz antenna, a 3.5 MHz, or a 7 MHz horizontal half-wavelength dipole…. And yet, with 2 transceivers you can get full coverage of 430 MHz and the lower bands and you only need a small ground plane antenna…
