Part 2

j.a.pan MaritimeSelf Defense Force Helicopter Destroyer 『Izumo』.[1]

When the j.a.panese Government realized that thecommunication to other countries suddenly ceased, it was impossible to detect anysatellite signals, and they had been transferred to completely another planet, theylaunched the JMSDF anti-submarine aircraft 『P-3C』 to all direction.[2]

The j.a.panese Government judged that j.a.pan can’tsurvive with just herself. She need to immediately enter a diplomatic relation withcivilized nations and securing food is an absolutely indispensable action, sothey acted in a speed that was unprecedented before.

First of all, to find out the possibility of initiatingdiplomatic relation with people that seemed to be civilized based on its scale,which they had discovered at the south direction, the j.a.panese Governmentdecided to dispatched diplomats alongside with the largest JMSDF ship, the HelicopterDestroyer 『Izumo』.

If a military uninformed people saw that ship, theywill see it as a carrier ship. That was the largest ship in JMSDF’s history.

The reason this ship was chosen to thread the unknownwaters of another world where anything could happen was since this ship couldoperate 14 helicopters at the most, can accommodate a large amount of personneland its adaptability and versatility are high.

The JDF had been preparing it to sail out at any timeever since the transfer, so after the diplomat boarded, 『Izumo』 immediately depart.

Behind 『Izumo』 outside the visual radius, there were several destroyers to escort 『Izumo』. Properly speaking, there should be several destroyers following at itssurrounding, but they put the concern that the other party might get alarmed morethan necessary.

『Izumo』 planned to approach the smallship that had been caught by its radar, which they considered as the ship fromtheir target civilization, finally they able to see a small sailing ship. Itwas an antiquated design that came out from a history textbook. On a closer inspection,at the ship’s deck, there was what looks like oil jars, wooden shield to wardarrows installed at regular distances, and armor wearing soldiers in formation witha dumbfounded expression.

Since this world’s structure and organization werecompletely unknown, they mustn’t injure the native people. 『Izumo』 carefully decelerated and loweredthe boarding gate’s gangway ladder. Since there was no other native warship, unarmedcrew beckoned and ushered several natives from the gangway.

The crew showed the native to 『Izumo』’s deck where they will talk with the diplomat.

Midori was bewildered.

Is this place really the top of a ship? It was such awide deck that made he thought that they even could perform cavalry battle atthis place. At such place, there were several people who wear strange clothingand didn’t carry a single weapon, stood before him. Perhaps he was the personin charge who will talk with Midori, one of the men who wear a refined clothingstepped forward.

There were no other people at the deck, but a shipthis big would have incredible number of crew. If, for example, Midori’s groupkill these men, then they wouldn’t be able to return to their own ship alive. Nevertheless,since the other party seemed to have no hostile intention, Midori mustered hiscourage and began to talk.

「I am Captain Midori of Warship Pima from Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality Navy’s 2ndFleet. This location is the adjacent sea of Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality, if youproceed beyond this then you will enter our country’s territorial water. May youplease tell me your ship nationality and the purpose for your sailing?」

The person in charge and the people around him made asurprised expression.

「What the‼ He understand j.a.panese‼」

What are they marveled about, Midori couldn’t comprehend.

The person in charge then replied.

「Excuse our manners. I am Tanaka, a Diplomat from a country named j.a.pan. TheGovernment of j.a.pan, our country, wish to initiate a diplomatic exchange withyour country, which I presumed to be called Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality. Dependingon the circ.u.mstances, then we will consider establishing a diplomaticrelationship. I am grateful if you can relay it to the people in charge of yourcountry.」

「That means, you are a country’s envoy?」

「Yes, that’s true. The people behind you seems to be nervous, but we have nohostile intention, so please be at ease.

Midori’s subordinate nervousness slightly loosened, andeven for just a bit, they calmed down.

「I understand. I will report your intention to your country. But I want toask you a question. The unit that appeared at the airs.p.a.ce above Maihark in ourcountry several days ago, is it your country’s knight?」

「Knight……? If you mean our country’s 『P-3C』, then that is correct. About that incident, then I hope you can relay the formalapology from our country.」

The word “pee-tree-see” that Tanaka spoke wassomething that Midori never heard at all.

Midori was doubtful, but after a short pause, Tanakabegan to talk an unbelievable story to Midori and his group.

「Our country, suddenly arrived at this world. To ascertain about what kindof world this world is, we launched many patrol airplanes, and one of thesepatrol planes ended up intruded on your country’s airs.p.a.ce. We are terriblysorry if it had caused a major problem for your side.」

The baffled Midori’s subordinates were looking at eachother, but also at the JDF personnel.

It was understandable. For an entire country transferredto another world, it was a very foolish story.

However, judging from the serious expression thatpossessed by Tanaka and the men standing around him, it didn’t appear to bejust a joke. For the moment, Midori decided to report what he had heard as itis.

「…… I see, I understand your circ.u.mstances. Since I will report your intentionto our country, I ask you to wait.」

「Yes. ――Umm, how many days should we wait?」

「Ah, no. I will immediately report to our country with manacom and request theirdecision, so it will be fine to wait for a few moment. Something like this can’tbe decided by myself alone.」

「I see…… Since, you have a communication device, right?」

✦✧✦✧✦

Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality, 2nd Navy’s Control Room.

「Commander Nouka‼ A dispatch from warship Pima has came‼」

「Read it‼」

「『Performed on board inspection of the large ship, the other party doesn’thave a hostile intention. Furthermore, there are foreign affairs official fromj.a.pan, the nation that dispatched the ship, on board the ship, and wish to havea conference with diplomatic relation establishment with our country as their objective.The size of the ship, length 250m by eye measurement, width 40m by eyemeasurement, can’t confirm anything resembling sails or oars.』」

Nouka was speechless. He had heard that it was a largeship, but at that size, it was already similar to a palace.

「『About the incident with an unidentified object several days ago. It was j.a.pan’spatrol unit who entered our country when in patrol flight. About theircirc.u.mstances…… The country had been transferred to this world, is what theperson in charge informed me』…… Is what he reported……」

「A country transferred to this world!? What a nonsense, how can I report somethinglike this to the superiors‼」

As expected, he couldn’t just listen to this insilence, so Nouka shouted out. Fortunately, it seems that they understood eachother language, but in this situation, it was much preferable if they still couldn’tunderstand the language of the other party.

「A moving 250m ship, is something that is quite absurd, but it’s a fact thatthey have seen it with their own eyes…… In my humble opinion, to not reportthis will be quite bad. Furthermore, they continued 『j.a.pan Government offered a formal apology to our country. So they appealed foran answer from Princ.i.p.ality’s Foreign Affairs officials.』」

The communication operator answered in somewhat calmeratt.i.tude than Nouka and carried out his duty.

「Gugh……‼ What a nonsense situation…… Ah, that’s right!」

「Is something wrong?」

「Right now, there should be a government meeting about the unidentifiedunit. Immediately made a report.」

「Yes, Sir.」

The communication operator then transmitted the onboard inspection report to Kwa-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality Capital City with the ManaCommunicator.
