Jikuu Mahou chapter 328: Bhutan
An adventure in the different world until yesterday and a business trip suddenly from today onwards.
The travel destination is『Butan』. It seems that there is some trouble with 【Nullpo stones】, so Nancy’s mom had to go.
Well, nominally I’m supposed to be the person responsible "for the inventory management system of the gem mining plant of Bhutan", but it was decided that I actually worked as an interpreter.
Well, I gave up and wonder if Bhutan has any tourism.
I didn't have much to prepare for this business trip since Nancy’s mom did the application and the processing, and the baggage is carried in the inventory, so everything was accomplished, and I prepared only a dummy suitcase.
----------
When I left home at five o'clock in the morning, Aya and Hilda were still asleep, but Elena came down with sleepy eyes, because she was still rubbing her eyes, and said goodbye to me. What a good girl.
When I arrived at the airport, I was meeting up with Nancy’s mom and another woman.
「Seiji, you’re late」
「Isn't it the promised time? What about that woman? Who is she?」
「I will accompany everyone as secretary this time. My name is Lilly Smith. Nice to meet you」
Lily-san asked me to shake hands with her.
Secretary. Tall and sharp-eyed. No matter how you look at her, she doesn't feel like a secretary.
She had the atmosphere of a Major of the riot police or like a game character.
She seems to be a person of the『Diplomatic Security Bureau』.
Jewelry Nancy has been targeted by the Chinese mafia several times, so she should be the escort for Nancy’s mom?
Lily-san doesn't seem to be a bad person. It is a dangerous trip for such a person to be an escort.
～～～～～～～～～～
The three of us took the plane to Bhutan.
There are many terrorist attacks all over the world recently. I was told that immigration control is getting tougher, so I was really nervous about whether I could explain it or not, but when they found out I was Japanese, the attitude of the attendant suddenly improved. I was asked to shake hands. I was worried and lost.
Nancy’s mum and Lily-san entered the country quickly and had to wait for a little because of me. The local guide greeted me when I finally joined with the others and we went out to the airport lobby. That person provided a SIM card that we could use in Bhutan, so we applied it in our smartphones on our own. I’m relieved that my smartphone becomes usable.
We stayed at a hotel near the airport on that day. We ate Bhutan food for dinner, but it was spicy as death. How many peppers are there!!
～～～～～～～～～～～
The next day, we traveled in a car and arrived at the village where [Nullpo Stones] exist.
Traditional houses were scattered in the village which was able to exist in the hillside of the mountain sparsely.
We went to the mayor's place first to greet him.
『Welcome』
The village chief is wearing a kimono-style national costume and has black hair, so I thought that he was Japanese.
「Seiji, please translate」
After all, I’m only here as an interpreter.......
『Hello, I'm Seiji Maruyama..... who is the translator... thank you for having me』
『What! Are you Japanese!』
When he realized that I was Japanese, the attitude changed suddenly by the mayor. I wonder if he likes Japan a lot.......
『I’m very indebted to you, Nishimursan』
Nishimursan? Who is that?
From there the story of Nishimursan from the village chief lasted about 30 minutes. So, who is Nishimursan?
「Seiji, interpret it properly!」
Nancy’s mom doesn't understand anything, so she is a bit offended.
「No, the village chief began to talk about Nishimursan......, that story, shall I interpret?」
「Who is Nishimura?」
「That......」
『By the way, what did you talk about?』
Finally, the story of the village chief about Nishimursan ended.
「Mamsan, it seems that the story of the village chief has ended. What should I talk about?」
For a while, I played the interpreter between Nancy’s mama and the village chief.......
Apparently, it seems that the cave, which is the mining place of [Nullpo stones], was occupied by bandits.
Moreover, it is said that the bandits are armed with considerable weaponry so that they can't be handled even by Bhutan's police, thereby making it impossible to mine the [Nullpo stones] making it impossible to secure the promised amount.
「Trouble! We need to get it ready as scheduled! It stands in prospect for the processing of the Nullpo stones and the deposit paying to the town factory in Japan!」
『Even if such a thing is said, it can't be handled by such a small village's police......』
Armed bandits.......
I'm a perfect outsider, but I guess I need to handle it after all?
However, it is useless to make a very selfish movement in a foreign country.... What should I do?
While interpreting and thinking about such a thing, the door of the room opened swiftly and a beautiful girl flew in.
『Nima, it's rude of you to enter when we have guests』
Whether Nimchan is a high school student or not, she is a cute black haired girl.
I guess she came in a hurry. Nimchan was out of breath and could not talk.
Nima after finally getting up and breathing normally, she said.......
『But, the school...... was attacked by bandits』
『『Whatーーー!!』』

Jikuu Mahou chapter 329: Northern Mountain Bandits
「Kyaa!! What a terrible sight!」
As soon as we arrived at school, Nancy´s mom screamed. Several adults who are supposed to be teachers are injured, and some children are also injured.
Especially, there is a man with a severe injury, and he doesn't move as if he is dead.
That man is in danger.
「Jennifer-san, it's dangerous. Please come down」
Lily is wary of her surroundings while protecting Jennifer-san. Is this person an escort after all?
I approach the person who is seriously injured while also be wary of the vicinity.
『Are you okay?』
There is no reply, very dangerous. I can not use magic in public, but I can't abandon this person.
I used [Recovery magic] so as not to be noticed as much as possible. The scratches in the range that can be seen from the outside have the bleeding suppressed a little and priority is given to internal organs damage.
However, this scar is caused by a gun. Moreover, several hits. Why do bandits do this?
At that moment, Nimchan brought the vigilante people, and so the treatment of the injured people began.
I leave the treatment to them and return to the village chief and Nancy´s mom.
「Are those who are injured safe?」
Nancy´s mom is anxious.
「I think they are fine」
「Well, I hope so.......」
First of all, I need to gather information.
『Village chief, what's this all about? Why would the bandits do this?』
The village chief started talking with a shabby face.
『At first it was a [Caterpillar fungus]』
【Caterpillar fungus】? Ah, that herbal medicine.......
『What happened to the 【Caterpillar fungus】? 』
『The 【Caterpillar fungus】can be taken from the northernmost mountain. For that, some guys illegally took over the border....... and the police started to crack down on them. To oppose it, those fellows started to arm themselves and eventually began to attack villages......』
I see....... It's because of them that the mine of [Nullpo Stones] is occupied.
「Jennifer-san, this place is dangerous. Let us return to a safe place」
Lily-san proposes to evacuate. As expected of Lily-san, she had to think about the safety of Jennifer-san first.
「Well, leave the village to the village people and let us evacuate」
「Well, let's do that」
If it's decided, I will speak to the village chief.
『Village chief, I am sorry but we will evacuate』
『That's right, we can't afford to put a customer in danger. So let me introduce you to Nima』
We were guided by Nimchan and rushed to the accommodation.
----------
『The two women, please use this room and the man that room here. Well then, I will return to everyone. Never leave the rooms until safety is confirmed』
Nimchan is a solid girl. Maybe the grandchild of the village chief?
I entered the assigned room and locked it from the inside. Jennifer and Lily-san have been attached with a [Tracking beacon] in advance, so I will know if danger comes close. Now I am worried about the people in the village.
I changed to my usual ninja outfit and used [Teleportation] to the school.
----------
The injured have already been carried and collected in the nearby temple. As the evening was approaching, I hid my figure using [Nightshade] and went to see the injured people.
The person who was the most seriously injured seems to have been okay, but he hadn't regained his consciousness yet. According to the story that I was eavesdropping, it seems that the children were attacked and he protected them with his own body which made him get injured. He seems to be a respectable person.
The children who were sleeping after being injured are cured with [Recovery magic] by me. They will be surprised later, but it can't be helped, as I can't bear to see the children hurt.
A red dot appeared on the map when I finished treating the children.
They seemed to have appeared again without bands.
I guess I'm going to peek a little.
----------
In the forest near the school. Two bandits were hiding holding a gun.
『Look, there's nobody in the village observing us!』
It's not Dzongkha, it's words of the neighboring country. As expected those guys are from another country.
『Don't say such a thing, it's useless because the boss says to bring another girl back』
Another woman?? No way!! Were the women already taken away!?
I must hurry!!
『『Ugyaa!!』』
I made the bandits collapse by using 【Blitz】, took their weapons and tied them up with a rope.
『Hey, guys, wake up』
I splash water and forcibly wake them up with the magic of 【Wake up】.
『Wh, What, you!』
『Ni, Ninja......』
『Hurry up and tell me where your hideout is!』
Bumb, Bumb!
『Hii!! Hi, hideout...... not a problem. Only life is lazy～』
It was easy as I threatened them with【Blitz】.
『Relax, take a rest』
Bumb, Bumb.
『『Gyaーーーー!!』』
They had a good night's sleep and I headed for their hideout's location that they had given me.

Jikuu Mahou chapter 330: Rescuing the captured women
I reached the hideout of the northern mountain bandits of Bhutan.
「Kyaa!」
I heard a woman's scream like ripping silk.
I head towards the scream at maximum speed.
「Stop! Don't come close!!」
I hear the scream from a cave. When entering in a hurry, a lot of men surrounded a woman and were in the midst of trying to put their hands on her right now.
『Comingーーー!!』
I instinctively approached the man´s hand who was trying to touch the woman...... and cut it from the bottom with a fake metal sword.
Spat.
The severed hand fell in front of the woman with a "plop", after hovering in the air.
「Gyaaーー!!」
The woman who was surprised by it, fainted where she stood.
The man whose wrist has been cut is writhing in pain.
『Who are you!』
The other bandits are also surprised.
I saw that the woman was going to be attacked in front of me, so blood was rising to my head quickly.
『Gun! Bring the guns!』
I quickly approach the three bandits who were trying to pick up their guns and hit them with the back of the fake metal sword.
All three were hit in their faces, then they were thrown vertically to the ground and making half a rotation, they didn't move afterwards.
『This guy is strong, surround him with everyone!』
I was surrounded by bandits instantly.
『You can't run away anymore, so let yourself be killed quietly!』
As a leader-like guy says so, he takes out a handgun.
Bang! Suddenly the trigger was pulled.
Su. I moved sideways a bit and avoided the bullet.
『I, Idiot! This guy avoided a gun bullet!』
For me, it is much more surprising that he pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
『You guys, kill him!』
When the boss cried out, five big men came out and one step ahead they took the stance of Chinese Kenpo. Since they use their bare hands against me, I put the fake metal sword in my inventory.
The five men were suddenly surprised by the sword suddenly disappearing, but when they saw that I took a stand with bare hands, they made a dull expression as if I'm an Idiot.
『Kukuku, Idiot!』
One of the men charged at me. He seems to be strong and keeps attacking continuously as I avoid a lot of it.
『What are you doing, get rid of him quickly!』
Four people who were hurried by the boss made a joint attack.
However, those ordinary guys who could use Chinese Kenpo couldn't reach me and were knocked down one by one.
But as I was fighting, I saw the guy in the back trying to get his hands on the hostage woman. Do you even think that I haven't seen it?
I took out a knife and threw it, hitting an arm.
『Painーーーn!!!』
He was rolling around in pain. Thinking that he can do sneaky things as if I can't see it, wrong decision!
Several people who saw it began to run away judging that I was too tough. Well, it's a reasonable decision.
But.... I won't let them escape!!
『Ouch! What, there's an invisible wall!』
The escape path is blocked by a barrier~.
And I slowly took my time to defeat them one by one.
『St, stop! He, help me......』
The boss who became the last one started to beg. Well, I didn't kill the other guys, though.
『Did you help her when she called for help?』
『Th, That......』
『Well then, you don't deserve to be helped』
『You!!!! Don't think you can do this to us so easily. Our backing is......』
『What's at your back? You're saying that some organization is backing you up?』
『Th, That......』
Hmm, there seems to be something hidden behind it.
『Die!』
The boss came up with a last charge.
For a moment, I also thought of listening to more information, but I got tired of him and struck him with 【Blitz】.
「Huu」
I was a little hustled too much in my anger.
After tying up the bandits, I gently embraced the fainted woman and woke her up.
「Wh, What? You? Where are the bandits?」
I thought about returning her to the village without being noticed, but it can't be helped.
「The bandits have been defeated. You're safe now」
「Eh?」
The woman looked around and saw the bandits being tied up.
「Di, Did you defeat them alone?」
「Lets return to the village as soon as possible」
「Ye, Yes......」
The woman firmly hugs me while being held in a princess carry. Well, this way it's easier for me to carry her.... I wonder if she isn't holding onto me a little too firmly?
I tried not to shake as much as possible, but while being as quick as possible, I returned to the village with the woman.
----------
Returning to the village, the village men were in the process of preparing for the bandits. They have agricultural tools and shovels in their hands. Were they going to fight with such a thing?
「Ah, ○○！」
The villagers came up to us as they've noticed our presence.
「Well then, goodbye」
I put the woman down and tried to return,
「Ah, thank you very much. Ah, emm...... what's your name?」
「Ninja man......」
I said that and jumped to a tall tree branch and disappeared.
----------
I took off the ninja costume and returned to the accommodation by [Teleportation].
I tried checking the state of the others with [Tracking beacon], but apparently, I couldn't see anything.......
Well, we are indoors at night. I am a bit tired, so I'll just go straight to bed.
I thought so and tried to dive into my bed, just then!
Knock Knock!
The sound of door knocking is heard.
「What?」
When I opened the door, Lily-san also opened the door of their room.
And the person in front of our doors was 『Nimchan』.
