Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

The Girl Who Got Stabbed And The Girl Who Wants To Get Stabbed 2

“Eh……” (Sabine)

Sabine-chan turned pale and exclaimed after hearing my explanation.

Yeah, I can’t help but tell Sabine-chan about Colette-chan’s injury.

Colette-chan was Sabine-chan’s only friend with whom she can speak her mind to. If she found it out later, I would not get away with it.

Besides, aside from Colette-chan, Sabine-chan was the only other person who could speak some English and can be trusted. Sabine-chan was the only one I can ask to help with watching over Colette-chan.

So I transferred from the hospital’s private room toilet to Sabine-chan’s room in the royal palace.

Colette-chan has not yet woken up from the anesthesia, so we were working on coordinating with each department while we still could…… because once Collette-chan wakes up, we will be busy.

I can’t ask the captain of Wolf Fang to accompany her.

He looks a bit like…….

If he were to accompany Colette-chan with that girth, a lot of things would happen, and the police might be called

So while I am out of the office, I’ll rely on Sabine-chan.

“Don’t worry, it’s not life-threatening.” (Mitsuha)

“Then the problem would be……. Scars, after effects, and so on……

Besides, you were the one being targeted, Mitsuha. Even if the attack fails, you’ll be targeted again.” (Sabine)

Yeah, I know that much.

“I’ll be back in an hour. Before then, I need you to explain to the king and prepare some clothes and stuff.” (Mitsuha)

Sabine-chan nodded her head.

=====

“…An unfamiliar ceiling.” (Colette)

Colette-chan muttered in a phrase she had learned from a light novel she was reading to study Japanese.

This was the first thing she said when she woke up from the anesthesia.

And my first words to Colette-chan when she woke up were…….

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I caused you pain. I’m sorry I caused your injuries that will leave scars for the rest of your life.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorby, I’b sobbyy… !! ” (Mitsuha)

I really wanted to hug Colette-chan, but I knew that would open up the wound. So I held back.

But…… but ………… but …….

Colette-chan smiled gently at me as I sobbed.

And then…….

“Thank God, the scars will remain!” (Colette)

“……Eh?” (Mitsuha)

I don’t know what Colette-chan was talking about, with a big smile on her face even.

“I can brag to everyone over and over for the rest of my life that this is the medal I received for protecting Mitsuha!

How’s that? Sabine-chan, are you envious?” (Colette)

“Gigigi…

Mitsuha! When? When will you be attacked next!” (Sabine)

…I don’t know what you guys were saying.

But if the princess got hurt or got scared that will last a lifetime because of me, I’ll be in a heap of trouble!

I’ll have to take responsibility and take her as my wife…… I think that’s fine…….

No.

No, no.

No no no no no!

Colette-chan was fine. And no signs of PTSD, not a shred of it.

Perhaps “fear of death” was not the scariest thing for Colette-chan.

Right now, Colette-chan’s head was probably filled with joy, pride, and satisfaction for having protected me, not with the fear that she almost died.

……I feel stupid…

Sabine-chan will be accompanying her while I’m away.

So what I’m doing now is…

A drop of water spilled from my eye.

The scars on Colette-chan’s body.

Then, what follows…

“[To Heart], I’m going to hit you straight in the chest!*” (Mitsuha)

Yes, the enemy will have a lead ball in his heart.

The silver accessory sword and knife that I’ll give him, will grow to adorn his chest.

Words appropriate for the occasion flowed through my mind one after another.

Ballistics of Vengeance (復讐の弾道)

The Bride in Black (黒衣の花嫁)

The Count of Monte Cristo

Tiger, tiger! (虎よ、虎よ！)

Konohamaru Harasadeokubekika…… (コノウラミハラサデオクベキカ……)

……And…….

They are the ones who will die!

“……Are you going or what?” (Sabine)

Sabine-chan’s words made me silently nod.

Yeah, of course, Sabine-chan doesn’t say she’s going as well.

……This is what I have to do.

It’s my job to do it alone.

I’m not someone like Sabine-chan who doesn’t understand that.

……Transfer!

=====

“Captain, get me lots of areal bombs and artillery shells! One that doesn’t have a safety device that won’t disengage until a certain number of revolutions, or a detonator that is activated by shock when fired, or some other troublesome mechanism, or one that can be easily deactivated.

Fuses that can be sped up or delayed are OK.

And Molotov cocktails, napalm bombs, bunker busters, fuel vaporization bombs, anti-tank grenade launchers, and much more……” (Mitsuha)

“Bunker busters are expensive and unobtainable…. And don’t use fuel vaporization bomb!” (Captain)

“Don’t use the Fuel Vaporization Bombs? Uncle, don’t you mean, ”Not the Fuel Vaporization Bombs!”……” (Mitsuha)

“Who the hell are you calling “Uncle”! Besides, you don’t know where the enemy is, right? You haven’t even made the interrogation yet……” (Captain)

Yes, I haven’t made the interrogation, but I already know which country was behind it.

……My language comprehension ability. It’s the kind where I could scan the other person’s linguistic information, so I could speak their language.

And so, after scanning someone’s linguistic information, I could remember words like “fried chicken zangi,” “ice fish komai,” “tested earth,” “cold shibare,” and “deretsuki,” I would have a general idea of where they were from.

Yes, that assailant knew many phrases and words specific to a certain country.

And in that country, or rather in that part of the country, there were not many people who would want to harm me, Hime-Miko of Thunder. Even if he was a street thug or someone from a dark organization……

So the thought of hiring criminals from other countries as disposable, pretending to accept the job and immediately reporting them, would be too dangerous to do so.

So we have no choice but to order our own country and its trusted handlers to do so……

Well, that’s the way it is.

I’ll do it later, of course, but I’ll ask some questions first…….

……Well, even if I didn’t, I had an idea of who I was dealing with from the beginning.

One who does not seek to use me, but to assassinate me without question.

Those who hate me and think of me as an annoyance.

Yeah, it’s only that country……

The first time, the country I happened to live in was attacked.

So, I fought to protect “General Trade Mitsuha” and “all the important people I know”…… mainly by targeting higher-ranked military personnel.

The second time, a country I knew was invaded.

We defeated the invasive troops that crossed the border…… mainly by targeting the command centers and supply caches.

And now, the third time, they tried to kill me and a girl who was more important than my life. A non-combatant, 9-year-old girl.

So I’ll attack those who ordered it…… mainly by targeting the non-combatant imperial family and nobles……

In the first and second encounters, it wasn’t that I and my loved ones were directly targeted.

I just happened to be involved in a fight between countries.

I wasn’t part of the party, and I had to take care not to ruin the face of my country, or to hurt the non-combatants or those who were forcibly conscripted in the fight as much as possible.

……But this time it’s different.

A direct attack on me and my loved ones who were non-combatants.

Moreover, by the dastardly means of assassination.

……That was the last straw!

Behold the fury of the Yamano clan!

Author’s Note:

An announcement. (^^)/

As previously announced, on the official Twitter page of the browser game [Angelic Link], for which I supervised the worldview and was in charge of the side story, there is a giveaway of five autographed color papers with Sukima-sensei’s illustration and my autograph!

The period is from Tuesday, July 20, 1200, until the start of [En kuri] service.

For more information, visit the official [En kuri] Twitter! (^^)/

And, oh what’s this!

Just now, an announcement was made on the official [En kuri] Twitter page that the number of pre-registrations have exceeded 200,000!

I mean, the bonus project was originally set up for 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, 100,000, and 150,000 registrations. What are we going to do with over 50,000 people! (^^)/

Is what I thought…, but then they announced an additional campaign for over 150,000 people… (^^ゞ

However, considering the initial target set, it must have been unexpectedly popular for the pre-registration to exceed 200,000 people…… (^^ゞ

Okay, I’ve done my job, next would be my reward!

Aim for 300,000! (^^)/
