Chapter 11 – Intruder
「Haa, it’s finally over.」
While Jin was repairing the rental dock, Marcia was explaining to the neighborhood and apologizing.
「We weren’t able to accomplish anything today.」
「Well, there’s always tomorrow. The fishing work I helped with was only until today.」
Jin then thinks about what Marcia says for a bit.
Because Marcia and Arrow are on Cygnus, it was easy for Jin to confirm the various adjustments the ship needed.
「Oh, I get it. Will the small boat I used for fishing be fine?」
Because it became misty in the wharf of the fishing ground, I decided to use it tomorrow.
That night.
「Okay, I’ll call Luna from Horai.」
「You called, older sister?」
「Understood.」
「Luna, you protect this ship in this dock as I explained it」
「Arrow, this child is your senior whom father also made. I want you to protect the ship and the dock.」
Arrow, the golem who’s leg strength was reinforced in particular, the fighting power isn’t also so (even by this worlds standards, it’s rather low). So it’s weak to the offensive from a foreign enemy.
「YES.」
Reiko who made sure of it came back to the hotel.
Reiko does not have to sleep. After Jin went to sleep, she paused quietly while investigating the surrounding signs. It should be a condition of it’s state until the morning comes.
The number of people who forced open the locked back entrance to the Sea Pavilion was 2.If Jin who is the absolute master is not in danger, there is no reason to do anything.
She leaves the room quietly so as not to wake Jin and stands in the corridor. A host of footsteps seem to be going up to the 3rd floor. The room where Marcia is staying is on the 3rd floor.
When she arrived at the 3rd floor, an intruder was standing in front of the Heron room. It was clear at a glance that their objective was in the room, and Marcia is staying in there.
「What is your business at midnight?」
The two people who were suddenly called out from the rear became stiff. They could probably be admired that they didn’t cry out of surprise.
「Well? What is it? Such a suspicious person at a place like this?」
「Suspicious. There is a woman staying in that room. Are you going to break in?」
＊ ＊
「Please, do not touch me with such a thing.」
「Hii……」
Reiko judged that as time was a priority she would have to change her power output to 20% from the standard 10%.
Her fist struck the pit of the stomach of the man in front of her and her knife-hand blow struck the neck of the man trying to open the lock instantly knocking them out.
The two intruders collapsed.
Reiko sighs out of character. Not killing is difficult at 20% power.
Without making any noise, Reiko comes down the stairs and out theback entrance that the men opened. She inspected her surroundings once more, but there wasn’t anything suspicious within 1 kilometer.
「Shall I throw them away somewhere?」
Reiko ran without making a sound and continued at full strength for about 15 minutes and dropped the 2 unconscious people there. She didn’t know where it was, but it was an alley far in town.
Reiko then hurried back to Jin’s room.
「Aaah, I slept well.」
「Good morning, father.」
「Umm, I need to tell you something.」(TLFalin: this is a good example of how I change things a little. Originally it says あの、ちょっとお話が which roughly translates to “umm, little story.” so I changed it a little to make it sound better.
Reiko explained what happened last night to Jin. After Jin heard the story, he folded his arms.
And the affair which showed signs of a series of interference will be linked.
The Magi Craftsman wasn’t found in the end.
The quality of bronze he bought was bad.
And the intruder last night.
He didn’t notice the magic interference formation at the town hall and the guard captain aimed at himself.
The interference is meant to prevent Marcia from participating in the competition. The reasons for such a thing can’t be thought of though.
Reiko did catch the intruder, and if interrogated they could reveal something, but it’s too early to say.
「Oh well, at any rate, I can’t yield to interference.」
「Good morning, Marcia.」
After the 2 people quickly ate their breakfasts and fixed their outfits, they hurried to the harbor together.
Marcia arrived at the dock where Cygnus floated. Because Luna left a little earlier, there was no unnecessary trouble.
As she said so and Arrow started to row, Marcia slowly left the port.
「Yes father.」
Jin gave Reiko the lump of bronze that was about to melt that laid on the rental dock, and went to the harbor the fishermen used.
