Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

[Returning] to "Siege of the Border," there were Minori, Alana, and Samantha.

"Ya, welcome back, Yoichi! Let me see it."

Yaichi turned her head to Samantha, who looked innocent as she welcomed herself.

"Yoichi, what's wrong?

"Something wrong?

After wondering how Yangichi was doing and seeing Minori and Alana chilling with a worried voice, I see Samantha again clouding her expression at how the three of them were doing.

"Something's stolen."

"What!?

Samantha raises her voice and Minori and Alana also look into surprise.

To those three, Yaichi explained the situation.

"Well, I heard rumors."

Japanese art was stolen and flowed to the overseas dark market.

It's a subject that can also be featured in news, wide shows, and sometimes variety shows, but if you try Yangichi, it was completely for everyone else.

I never thought such a thing would interfere with my purpose.

"I don't know..."

Samantha, who missed getting the machete she was looking for, nodded disappointedly.

Minori leans on her like that, and she is tender.

"So, what do you do?

To Alana's inquiry, Yaichi turns his thoughts around.

It's a rare piece of art I was after, but it's not like there's anything similar.

If you look, there will be something else that will suit Alec.

But I wasn't willing to back off like this.

As a Japanese, you can't miss being deprived of Japanese art by people who aren't curious overseas.

More than anything else, I'm angry that they took the prey I was after.

Of course, I'll take it back.

Yaichi replied with an invincible grin.

"Hehe, you don't have to."

Alana grinned at her mouth, saying so and nodding.

"Can you take it back...?

Samantha looked up at Yaichi with her worried eyes.

"Yangichi will be fine"

Minori, leaning against Samantha, grinned at her mouth and said so, keeping her gaze on Yangichi.

"Let it go."

Stolen by bandits abroad, it's difficult to retrieve the art flowing into the dark market, as well as even find it.

You can call it impossible.

But Yaichi has [Appraisal +].

When, who, and how stole the machete, and where it is now, he knows everything.

"Don't think you can get away from me, thief."

He also temporarily steals a machete, so it doesn't have to be the same hole musina, but for now he put it up on the shelf and declared it so.

○ ● ○ ●

It is an unknown country with some disturbing rumors.

Although Yaichi can do a lot of research in [Appraisal +], it is also difficult to narrow down what to look into, so I decided to consult Charlotte once.

If possible, there are circumstances where you want to keep your identity false when you enter the country.

If she was a former intelligence agent and currently a hotel employee, she would be familiar with the circumstances of a country that could be considered a virtual enemy country.

Call her to the casino town container district as usual and explain the situation.

"You should stop disguising yourself."

To Yangichi's plan, Charlotte expressed a negative opinion.

"If you go into a country where you pretend to be someone else, you'll be in trouble. You don't take a sweet look at the country's surveillance society."

"I think it's okay because there's a new magic tool there. The one that deceives the camera."

"Oh."

Charlotte's one-eyebrow rises when she hears that the camera also deceives the magic prop.

"That's interesting."

I'm not going to hide this because I've always wanted to offer it to her as a thank you for your cooperation on this.

"You mean no longer on camera?

"Simply put, it's like that"

"Then it's even harder to act in that country."

"Oh, really?

So Yaichi was briefed by Charlotte about the situation in the country.

"... is that what's going on in that country right now?

"Yeah. So bad camouflage work can only get in the way."

So Yaichi told Charlotte the purpose of this one.

"If that's it..."

And, after discussing the operation between the two of us, I came to the conclusion that it would be nice to travel normally as a Japanese tourist and act normally, while concealing myself and acting here.

He also asked me to list the items necessary to act in that country, and decided to prepare them for Yangichi himself.

"No, it was nice talking to you. Thanks."

"If you thank me, I'll hit you with a new magic trick."

"Oh. I just still need a lot of tweaking at the prototype level...... right, I'll introduce Samantha next time"

"Hehe, that's exciting."
