150 . Kidnapping 3

“What did you say!? Operation failed!? Are you saying that the conclusions the analysis group made were wrong, and those children were really the users of [Instant Death Magic]!? You were so confident that it was a bluff to keep them out of danger so that person can direct all the danger to herself, weren’t you!? I issued the permit for the operation because I believed that . …Well, even if they were killed by those children, their identities will never be leaked… even if they were captured, they would choose to suicide rather than leaking their identity . We know that their family and clans will always be up to task, they will never betray the country . So, how was the situation?” (bad man)

The man who seems to be in charge of the operation, confirmed the situation after receiving reports from his subordinate that the operation had failed . The source of the information was a direct report from multiple observers who saw everything from the inside of a car at the other parking lot and from inside the shop disguised as a normal customer, so there’s no problem in reliability .

“…Hmm, then, we have no evidence that the child had used instant death magic or something? In that regard, the analysis team got it right huh… So, the two kids had been rescued in an unexpected way, and the agents were trapped in the cars with no tires . And they were taken alive…” (bad man)

It wouldn’t be weird if they committed suicide in that situation, but they don’t have to push themselves . As long as they keep quiet, they can buy the time and wait for the opportunity to escape .

If they can’t escape and can’t endure the torture, they just have to commit suicide at that point . Even if the poison were seized, there are many ways to suicide, such as biting the tongue, smashing the head against the wall, cutting the artery with some debris, there’s many more .

“Well whatever, we just failed this once . There’s no evidence of our involvement, and even if the captured agents decided to open their mouth, just say that it was a conspiracy, alleging that agents from other countries are lying to rub their sins against our country . We must absolutely get that princess and conquer the wealth of another world! If we can bring troops about one corps, we can do anything . We can sell antique outdated weapons in the warehouse in exchange for gold or jewelry . It cut her life force? To hell with that! Hmph, because she kicked our country out of the conference, we should at least enrich ourselves!” (bad man)

Then the subordinates came out of the room all at once .

“… so this is the building of the intelligence bureau huh…” (Mitsuha)

I transferred to an eight-story building In the middle of the night .

…it’s the building of the intelligence department of a certain country .

The transfer was carried out after I got the firm image of the location based on the pictures provided by a certain country, satellite pictures, latitude and longitude, etc . Well, on the earth, it’s convenient to locate a specific location because you can do this . Air reconnaissance has allowed me to locate some part of the new continent, but it’s only a small part of the continent as a whole . We flew over a few countries at most .

I should’ve explored the old continent for a little bit too, what a blunder…

Really, what a blunder…

Maybe I should do another air recon next time . On both the old and the new continent . Now that I can transfer directly to new continent, we should continue from where we left last time .

…tte, it’s not the time to think about that now . I have to finish my mission quickly .

The building has many windows lit, even at midnight . Do they have a lot of overtimers or is it open 24 hours?

Well whatever, mission start!

“Transfer!” (Mitsuha)

I transferred all the people on the 8th floor . The destination is a deserted island in the other world . Then I just return immediately .

“Transfer!” (Mitsuha)

Next, I transferred all the people on the 7th floor . Then return .

“Transfer!” (Mitsuha)

Then I repeated the same process on the 6th floor to the 3rd underground floor . Even though it’s midnight, there are still a quite few number of people .

If you’re wondering why I did such a troublesome thing, because if I transferred everyone at once, the people on the upper floor may fall and die .

Finally, I moved the uninhabited building to Yamano territory . I dug the ground in advance to fit the size of the building, so the underground part fits properly . (Note: insert “It’s free real estate” meme)

…no, of course, the depth is slightly off, and the first-floor entrance is quite high, but that’s not a big deal . I won’t keep it here forever, of course, because I don’t intend to use it as a residence .

There’s no concrete pile underneath, no water and electricity, that’s why I can’t use this building . The interior is dark, the restrooms are unusable, and of course, the elevators can’t move .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

So why did I bring it here, you say?

Well, there are so many things inside . Secret documents, PC terminals, and the server that contains various data . There are hidden safes underground too .

I will take all of them and sell the PCs, servers, documents, etc . to a certain country . As part of the reward for their cooperation . Of course, the golds are ours .

Ah, I have to continue the mission .

All people from the building who were transferred to the uninhabited island, were transferred back to their original place . The basement part disappeared so right now they’re at the bottom of a huge hollow .

In such a workplace, cell phones and the likes are stored at the entrance, and even if anyone still have those, I excluded those kinds of items at the time of the first transfer . So it will take some time for this to reach the top .

Alright, I guess this is enough for today!

“What!? The intelligence department disappeared!? What the hell happened!? Calm down first! Was it Fire? Or Bomb!? Who did this!? Which country!?” (bad man)

The next morning, a leader form this country screamed at a report from a subordinate right after he woke up .

“Th-that is, uhh, the whole building has disappeared, literally, from this world…” (bad man’s subordinate)

He didn’t say that the word [from this world] had a deep meaning, but he didn’t expect it to be the right answer .

“What!? What happened to those who were in the building!?” (bad man)

He’s no worried about the safety of those in the intelligence department, he’s just concerned about the information availability from the witnesses .

“Yes! There’s nothing to worry about, there’s no physical damage!” (bad man’s subordinate)

“So, what did they said!? What has happened!?” (bad man)

The leader proceeds the talk, ignoring the subordinate’s misunderstanding .

“They said, when they were working at night, they were suddenly on a sandy beach… Starting from those who working on the 8th, then 7th, 6th and so on, all within a few tens of seconds appeared there, and shortly after, they all appeared at the bottom of a deep, wide hole… It seems that it took a considerable amount of time to contact the outside without a mobile phone . The [bottom of the hole] was the underground part of the intelligence department building where it had disappeared . It seems that it’s going to be a big deal due to the severed water pipes, sewer pipes, gas pipes etc . …” (bad man’s subordinate)

“Wh-what… do you…” (bad man)

The leader can only think that there’s only one individual who can do such a ridiculous thing .

“Don’t tell me, that little girl! No, there’s no way…” (bad man)

And the day after, A nationwide information control was conducted .

The defense department building has disappeared .

Leaving many stunned civilians and military officers on the site .

The next day, the homes and villas of government officials disappeared one after another . Along with the hidden safes…

Next is, the house of the businessman who had united with the officials, the company, the hidden warehouse…

Information control has collapsed beyond its limits, and the great statue in the capital’s main square has disappeared and replaced with a frightening monster statue .

(Note: Mitsuha takes harassment into a whole other level)

“… please convey it to her Highness the Princess! There seems to be some big misunderstanding, so I would like to explain and solve it!” (bad minister)

The response of Wolf Fang’s captain, who was contacted by a minister of a certain country, was cold .

“You should have informed that contact by telephone, mail, etc . is prohibited at all, and that any contact with the country who contacted by means other than the designated e-mail will be cut off . ” (Captain-san)

“Th-this is not the time for something like that! Besides, this is not a negotiation, but a notice to inform you that the Princess is acting wrong due to misunderstanding!” (bad minister)

However, Captain-san doesn’t care at all .

“Her Royal Highness said, [I will respond immediately because I was attacked without a declaration of war . I have received the consent from His Majesty the King to fight back] . Until the enemy country surrenders, perhaps she will not appear here you see…” (Captain-san)

“Wha… Then, the means to contact Her Highness…” (bad minister)

“There’s none, until she makes an appearance here at least” (Captain-san)

“Then, there’s no negotiations, nothing… In the first place, we can’t even surrender!” (bad minister)

Here, Captain-san borrowed a word she often uses .

“I don’t care… So, as per the advance warning, we will cut off any communication from your country . Good luck!” (Captain-san)

Then Captain-san hanged up .

Immediately, the phone was set to reject calls from the previous number . They would use another phone or another address anyway, but we should show our will and reject or ignore those numbers and addresses again .

Captain-san muttered by himself .

“That was a nasty move, miss… And it’s too merciless…” (Captain-san)
