Chapter 7 \nTodayâs picture is Kamisama no Memochouâs Alice from .\n
Mitsuha returns home, switches to casual clothes and heads to the station. And then get on a train headed for a certain city with a US military base. On the train carriage, Mitsuha got on, there were Americans who seem to be soldiers working in a US base. Apparently, there was no need to go to the city with the base.
âExcuse meâ Talk to the man who looks most intelligent, ask if this train stops in a certain city, and leave after thanking him. And then just move to the next carriage. After getting off at the next station she went back to the former station.
With this, I have gained the ability to talk and write in English. The reason why I choose the person who seems the most intelligent is because my abilities are obtained by âscanning the linguistic knowledge of the other partyâ. Usually, knowledge of a language is gradually accumulated after talking with a lot of people, but I have various things I to do alone this time, and between the choices, it was natural to choose the one who seemed the smartest.
Mitsuha returns home as is and starts searching on the net. The keywords and pages displayed one after another is all in English characters. Mitsuha continued to open search pages one after another.
âCaptain, we have a visitorâ. My men open the door and tell me so. âWe shouldnât have any plans todayâ âIt seems to be a sudden request. Will you see them.â We donât have any big jobs right now. Even small jobs, it should ease the troopsâ upkeep If we do a number them.
âIâll be right there. Guide them to the reception office â âRoger. Hee, youâll probably be surprisedâ âWhat? Is it an outstanding beauty?â âYes, well, something like thatâ\n
Like such a woman would come to this place. Without believing it even a bit, I went to the reception office and opened the door.
Amazingly, his words were true. Iâm certainly surprised. And, it was certainly an outstandingly beautiful girl. However, there is the word âlittleâ between âbeautifulâ and âgirlâ. âMy name is Mitsuha. I have a requestâŠâ There sat a beautiful girl of a face like a doll, beautiful black flowing hair, and mysterious black eyes. An elementary school student.
âThe contents of the request concerns the operation of firearms, shooting drills, fighting drills with knives and short swords, and a purchasing agent for these weaponsâŠâ To my confirmation which a little agitation still lingers, the girl nodded.
âFor now, please hurry the handguns. A small one that can be continuously hidden for self-defense, a main pistol with a lot of power and a large number of bullets, a revolver that is not so heavy in preparation against jamming, and something to equip each of them. And Iâd like to have training for those weapons. The other things can be left to another day. It is fine if the knife and sword are ineffective. I canât use them properly anyway. Please think of them as intimidation.â ââŠThen, after that, machine guns, assault rifles, sniper guns, grenades, rockets, the use of grenade launchersâŠ. The heck kind of organization are you planning to attack, Miss?â
Oops, my voice became rough. âEh, itâs just for self-defense. My countryâs security situation is a little badâŠ. Oh, of course, advance payment is fineâ \n What country? Are thugs riding tanks in your country!
âAh, currently I have a little extra yen. Can I pay in yen, Japan currency? âWell, I donât mind yen compared to yuan or won. However, the fee for converting to the dollar will be deducted. â âOh, isnât thatâs natural? Of course, it doesnât matter. Oh, Iâd like to pay in gold coins as well, is it okay?â
Gold coins. Who the hell are you?
âI donât mind, but what gold coins? Kruger or something?â âNo, it is an unnamed gold coin of an unnamed country, please think that it is just worth the gold content of the bare metal. I will have a sample at a later date, so please appraise it with an exchange trader of sorts. However⊠â âHowever?â âLater on, it would be helpful to have a shop that would accept the exchange of thousands to tens of thousands coinsâ
The girl went away. Suspicious, no, even while thinking it was strange, I received the request from the girl. It costs money to keep the troops! Iâm trying to hold it in, but why does the hand holding the cigarette still tremble. All I have to do is wait for the men I have instructed to follow that girl back.
âCaptain, Iâve returned.â The subordinate who I gave the instruction returned, but it was a little too early. \n (Excuse me~!!)
