Kikanshita Yuusha no Gojitsudan

"I solved the Seejack case. I thought Kronos might be able to handle it."

Cold things flow down my spine to a word of a man named Senba.

"... what's the connection between that chronos and me? Sorry, but you don't know me like that."

It's best to barely return it that way.

I don't know, why did you find out?

"... I see, it doesn't seem to be a mistake. The Seajack incident, the tunnel crash in May, no, and the museum occupancy incident last year. I expected you to be" Kronos "in all sorts of circumstantial evidence, but I was convinced by your current reaction."

Inspector Akechi sees me with a strong gaze. I'm staring.

The intelligent eye behind the glasses looks exactly like a detective hunting down criminals.

It really wouldn't be Dr. Edogawa's creative character, would it, this guy? Or do you know a cursed high school detective?

And it would be an exciting sight if it wasn't for me or something.

Or was it me who got caught up in a mess?

"Assuming I'm that Kronos, was there anything I could do to help the police?

I don't have any particular perception of having committed a crime.

"You broke into the museum last year without paying for a ticket."

"I'm sorry."

That's it. No, you sure didn't pay for it. I totally forgot.

"... emergency evacuation under criminal law is not a crime because it discourages illegality."

Really? Speaking of which, I remember hearing that.... I got caught up in the camouflage again. Dumb me.

"... so? What are you going to do with me?

"To be honest, I'm anxious to leave you alone. You yourself and the people around you."

"Ahhh?

Unexpectedly, there is danger in my voice and my gaze. And then there was a little magic leak.

They detected a change in my signs. Two people sit back.

"I want you to wait. We are not willing to do this to you. [M] I just want to help."

That's it, Senba, a man gets his hands to the table and bows his head.

"Lord, what's wrong?

"Mr. Yuya."

"Yu, Yuya?

Three daughters who were supposed to be waiting to come in and bust the door all the time.

Oh, with the usual, what? This gudda gudda feeling.

"And anyway, I'll talk to you. I just wanted to know if I could help."

"That doesn't matter. I promise you will not suffer from this story or not. [M] That's good for you, too, right? I don't care if the ladies listen with me if it's not inconvenient."

After Senba looks me in the eye and says it, he presses caution on Akechi.

Inspector Akechi said something. He looked like him, but he exhaled heavily and nodded and agreed.

See the two of you again.

As I said earlier, Akechi Police still feels like an intelligent carrier for eyeglasses, and it seems serious, but doesn't seem to be accommodating for that matter.

Senba, by contrast, is about the same height as Akechi, but has a horizontal width, a gusty body shape, and an affinity for the skin.

Two in contrast, but it looks the same age as it sees it. Besides, the fact that two completely different people from my jurisdiction came together meant that Senba was the one who needed me to look into it, and asked Akechi, who was wearing it around Kronos, to ask for my location and accompany him.

When I heard Senba's words, Tia snuggled up and brought the chair that was at the back desk to sit behind the couch I was sitting on.

And Sy sits on my left, and Leiria sits on my right.... narrow.

"So, what do you want me to do?

When he cut it out, Senba and Akechi began to talk when they exchanged glances and nodded.

"Five days ago, a manned submarine survey vessel was involved in a rock bed crash while conducting a seabed geological survey associated with the earthquake at a depth of 4200 metres off 650 kilometres southeast of the general peninsula in Chiba prefecture. We were able to confirm the safety of the crew, but rescue operations are difficult with the survey vessel mostly buried. Especially with an estimated 20 tons of large rock directly above the survey ship, I can't help it."

"Can't you pull that rock up or crush it?

Try to bump into simple questions.

"I'm trying a lot on a drone submarine but the rock is too big to do anything about it. There are also scientific drilling ships that can crush or indeed drill thousands of meters of water depth, but they are not precise enough to crush rocks away from survey ships. There are saturated submersible installations in the maritime militia to work in the deep sea, but only up to 500 meters deep can they actually work. Not enough for 4200 meters deep at all"

…………

"The life support time of the submarine is about 130 hours. Given the time that has elapsed since the accident, the limit is incorrect. They can afford some oxygen, and the crew is an experienced veteran, so we'll figure it out for a while now, but survival will be hopeless as it is"

... They're more pressing than I imagined.

"Honestly, I know you're saying something unscrupulous. So even if I didn't have the means to deal with you, I'm not going to resent you, and I don't need you to feel responsible. But if you have any means, I need your help."

Think.

I don't know if I have the means, but I do.

but I can't do it alone.

View Chirali and Leiria on the right. Whether you know what I think, or leave it to me, Laylia nodded small when she laughed with only her eyes.

Look at Sy on the left. He's staring at me anxiously. Grasp Sy's hand gently to reassure her.

Tia, you can't see because she's behind you.

"There is no certainty. But we have the means."

"! Is that true?!"

"I just don't have any experience with 4200 meters of deep sea in boulders, so there's no guarantee it'll work. And even if you take it, you have a condition."

I don't know if it's conditional on a person's life, but I don't have enough sense of purpose to give a boulder all of my life and throw myself into saving lives. A human being who can do that would be committed to rebuilding in Wisteria by now without going back to this world.

Of course I want to do as much as I can within my reach than have extraordinary power in this world, but I'm not going to sacrifice my life. That's why we need some insurance.

"... let's hear it"

Inspector Akechi responded with a jiggly look at me, and Senba nodded as well.

"Firstly, we cannot be held responsible if the rescue operation fails. It's the first place for me to find 4200 meters of deep sea in the first place. I don't know exactly what the situation is, because there are too many uncertainties."

I've never even imagined working where I would be exposed to pressure of 420 bar on a simple calculation, because the water pressure should increase by 1 bar to a depth of 10 meters.

"Naturally. I'll take all responsibility for this one here. I promise I won't hold you accountable, including for the lives of the rescuers."

I guess I expected this, Senba admitted without hesitation.

"Next, we need to provide information in the field and lecture on knowledge in the deep sea. I've never practiced it even though I have the means."

"I'm aware of that too. On the ground are vessels that house submersible survey vessels, patrol boats of seafarers and support vessels in rescue operations, and detailed data and undersea maps are also being prepared. That's where you'll get the information you need."

No problem so far.

The problem is:

"Finally, I'd like you to keep information about who I am and what I'm capable of. I'm not going to make any special public noise, and I want to maintain my life as a very ordinary person. I have trouble making noise, and I'm sorry for being watched.

So promise me that the administration, including the police, will not interfere with me or my surroundings and will not disclose who I am or what I am capable of doing. "

"It's..."

Two people look at each other in my words and give me a bitter look.

"We can't promise that on our authority. Each of us is only a part of the local police department and a part of the Marine Guard department. Do not divulge information only in this case, but you must report it at the direction of your supervisor."

Well, usually it is, isn't it?

But that's troubling.

"I just have to get it to hang with the top. The top of the police force was the cabinet office, wasn't it? The Coast Guard..."

"Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport,

"In that case, the Cabinet Secretary and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, or each Undersecretary, is the head of the office, right? You know, those two rosy pictures spreading online."

When I say that, Inspector Akechi's eyes stare sharply at me.

"Are you going to blackmail us? And kill him?

What am I supposed to do, I'm not getting through.

"Easy, Akechi! Roses are not roses that mean killing, they are hidden words of sexual relations between men."

Apparently, Inspector Akechi was as solid as he looked.

Let me ask you something like roses, lilies, tulips, friendships. Maybe it's a rose because it doesn't grow on a sphere root, or something.

To Senba's follow up, the misguided Akechi vigilante coughs up and overlaps words to delude him.

"That still doesn't translate into blackmail. You'll be arrested as soon as it spreads online in the first place."

"If it's the person who diffused it, it doesn't matter, does it? Or do you think that's not gonna happen?

".................. ok. We'll do everything we can to meet your request."

"Senba?!... Phew, okay. But I'm not going to miss anything about criminal activity."

When Senba replied after reflection, Akechi Monitor, who gave a surprised look for a moment, also reluctantly agreed and stabbed the nail.

But I don't mind that. Or if you're not willing to dye your hands of crime in the first place. At least the heinous crime.

Immediately afterwards, he got into the car that Inspector Akechi had been in, and first set off for Senba's stronghold, the Third Precinct Maritime Security Headquarters in Yokohama.

It's Inspector Akechi and Senba on board, me, and Laylia.

Sy and Tia asked me to go home. There's very little we can do this time.

A minivan type passenger car that looks like personal belongings of Akechi Police. A black alphard is a good car ride.

Me and Leiria sat at the back of those three row seats, Senba in the middle row, driving is smart and alert. What, are you paranoid that you feel like you're trying to keep us out of this?

Ask them to describe the circumstances of the accident in detail while travelling.

Two pilots and one geologist were aboard the submersible survey vessel, and they were conducting a geological survey on the earthquake in the Japanese trench. Geological surveys are routinely conducted in various locations in Japan, the earthquake giant, such as the earthquake that occurred off the Tohoku coast and the earthquake in Nagano prefecture, where we were also supposed to be involved, and this time they were part of it.

However, this time unluckily, a small earthquake occurred while investigating the interior of a large rift that was under the sea, and the rock formation at the top of the rift collapsed due to its effects. It meant I got caught up in it.

Fortunately, although an estimated 20 tonnes of rock, the damage to the submarine itself was not so lethal, unlike the collapse on the ground, where water resistance and buoyancy worked in the water to such an extent that it accelerated away with little or no resistance. He didn't hit it directly.

Especially since the pressure-resistant shell that protects the crew seems to be built quite sturdy to withstand pressures of 700 bar, and the power needed to sustain life is safe.

The problem is that it is impossible for the survey vessel to escape on its own because of the rocks that are so eager to cover the submersible survey vessel. And that the rock cannot be excluded from submarines that exist, whether unmanned or manned. It seems that there is no way to install underwater explosives more precisely than not affecting the hull in an environment with water pressures as high as 430 bar.

"I read the report on the tunnel crash, too. It was all incredible, though, to manipulate the dust and sand around like creatures, lift hundreds of kilometres of debris and automobiles, prevent the collapse of tunnels, and cure the dying seriously wounded in an instant. But this accident is a place where normal human power is out of reach. So, even if we were talking about eyebrow spit, we just had to talk."

Senba's hand, visible from the gap in the seat, is gripped hard and exposed inside his chest.

"Are you a little arbitrary?

"Regardless of the extent of the advisor, we can't ask civilians to cooperate without more circumstances. Besides, even though I'm a friend of mine, if the police officer finds out what Seaborne's counting on, it's a final note."

"Thanks to you, it's a good annoyance to get caught up in this way. Even if it's a public official with the same investigative powers, if it's a leak of investigative information, you just have to discipline it."

In response to Senba shrugging her shoulders like a loose end, Akechi Monitor says with a flashing look.

If you try it on us, the police and the Coast Guard are the same thing, but there's a lot going on.

"Reporting an investigation doesn't mean you're a suspect, does it? Well, it'll be moving around public safety."

Wow, that makes it hard...

"Well, that's as good as I can do about this one anyway. Do something, please."

"Um. I can't say for sure, but, well, we'll take care of it. Your readiness will not be in vain."

"Ha, I'd believe it if the beauty told me so. Is this sexual harassment?

Senba 3rd Class Coast Guard Superintendent who rushes to wander his gaze after laughing and saying.

They can't even praise women for the detours these days.

... I'll be careful, too.

"That's right, what are we gonna do about getting dressed? Like, you're gonna change into that suit, right? He said he didn't have the luggage he needed, so he got here, but he's still in the city, and if he wants to go back, he can."

"What? No, I'm just trying to get my hat and sunglasses and mask done because my face should hide for now."

I swore I'd never wear that hero suit again in a tunnel accident.

What's so sad about mass-producing black history?

"No, no, that won't work! Regardless of how far it goes, it would be more convenient for us to decide for the moment that we don't know who you are. I need to be prepared to keep your information secret, and fortunately, neither the police nor the Marine Guard should have noticed who Kronos is yet, because I haven't reported what Akechi looked into up there yet. I don't know how far public safety is looking into it, but I wouldn't have gone over it to keep it hidden.

Even if you don't know who you are, even if it's better to join a support ship than a man or woman who doesn't know who you are, it's probably easier for Kronos, who was active in the Seajack case and the tunnel crash, to go. "

Seriously?

Huh? Are you dressed like that again?

"Hmm. I don't have any differences, either. I still don't need the outfit I deserve to save people."

No, you don't care about the outfit!

Something about a sudden sudden drop in motivation?

"Don't say no or anything. If you don't keep your word, we can't help you either."

Inspector Akechi stabs Todome.

Is that it? Could it be me, it's packed?

"…………………………… I will change my clothes"

"Right! Are you bringing that suit?

Senba hits me without giving me a break when I feel like I've scuffed hundreds of bitters together.

Without answering that, I removed the treasure of transfer from the item box.

He just grabbed my arm and transferred to another world with Laylia.

To transform into Sorcerer King (Sorcery Road) Kronos again.

And to mark black history again.

............... can I go home?
