35. Separate Collaboration

~ Tatsuhiko point of view ~



The next day after the incident, I have been in the waiting room since morning. Then I receive a message from the nurse saying that the ranch soldier has woke up. When I go to the sickroom, the ranch soldier has sad eyes on the bed.

"I was glad that your consciousness seemed to have returned, so is there any pain?"


"There are none, thank you for helping me."

"No, it's such a natural thing to do, I did not contact the army because I did not know how to do it."

"At the point in time, when there is no scheduled report in the military facilities, so I'm sure they already know the incident."

"Accident ... is that an accident?"

"Is there any possibility that such as being attacked from somewhere?"

Today I planned to see the state of the town, but that was why I stayed in the waiting room. If I was aimed for some reason, then it should have already come out that I have arrived at the neutral city safely.
Then, there is a possibility that I will be targeted again here. So I could not move from the waiting room.

"I think that the possibility of attack from the rebel army is low because the flight route of the ship is sailing within the sphere of influence of our army, I do not think it will attack the ship of a neutral city in the first place"

"Okay, is it that the enemy forces of your army set a bomb before departure?"

"It's probably impossible.
I think that there is no point in placing a bomb on a transport ship going round-trip everyday.
When they aimed at us, it was difficult to get permission to board a ship, so it would be difficult to get on with the timing."

"Is that so..."

"My mind is overwhelmed, that the accident happened at a great timing.
Sorry for the trouble...... By the way, what happened to the people who were flying? "

"There are a certain number of fractures and bruises, and you are heavier in terms of the degree of injury.
Because there is no place to grab on the corridor, you was unlucky.
That's right, I'd like to ask one. "


"……What is it?"

"I heard there are wooden people on this planet, do you know?"

"Wood man ....... Yes, I know that there is such a monster.
For that reason it is forbidden to enter the forest without having weapons. "

"Is the conversation established?"

"I do not think so.
I have never heard of such a story."

"Ok, thanks.
As I talk for so long, I will worsen the wounds, I will leave in this."

I left the sickroom.

Regarding the trees, we implicitly asked people in neutral cities, but the answer was the same. A conversation is not established with a monster attacking people.

After that, a person who appeared to be a Sarnia's army appeared, and I was returned to the former base as if being taken.

Bulldog military personnel only said "It was a disaster."

After having smiled wryly, I told that I started production.

"Well, should I do it?"

The direction is fixed. New materials that I can use are handy for everything. What I want will be in shape in a short time.

"This is dangerous if I take it home to earth."

I thought to take it secretly, but I could not bring it out because it have an unknown composition, so I gave up.

"I just can't get used to this appearance."

Over the course of three days, I built ten large and small statues.

"Oh, you was able to make it"

"Yeah, it is a stone statue that imaged a tree suitable for the planet Sarnia of the forest.
Please leave the two large ones on the left and right of the entrance and the small ones in the standouts and waiting rooms of the aisle. "

It seems that the stone statue that shaped tree knows goodness even for an amateur person. Bulldog soldiers have a full smile.

"Well, I was done here.
How about yours Shino. "





~ Shino point of view ~

As soon as I and Usako returned to the base, Gamigami-san came.

"It is troubled if you go out without permission!"

"There is no problem if there is a follower holding a baggage.
Besides, I think that there is no way to restrict the behavior so far. "

"Still, a selfish behavior is troubled.
What were you doing at the hospital last night? "

Well, after all, you have watched it separately.

"When I was walking in the city, I met a person on a transport ship that just crashed, I helped a little for the rescue."

"I know.
But above that you no relationship?"

"In the words from my star, there are things up to the dishes if you eat poison.
I do not want to know about it halfway, so I went to visit.
But I did not wake up and I think I returned to the hotel in the evening? "


"............"

I did not say it daringly, but the current proverb includes the nuance of doing bad things. I do not notice.

"Well, I got tired, so I will take a little rest.
Since I will start production in the afternoon, do not disturb me. "

I go to my room and lie down on the bed without hearing a reply. A sleepy attacked right away.

I got a little sleep and my head got clearer.

"Well, Okay!"

I have decided.

In order to start production, I enter the work room. Although the general idea is already made, it is difficult to form it.

"Well, first the appearance according to my image ...... is like this"

The size is fine. The form of the building that imaged a large tree would not be possible yet with Japanese building technology.

A vibrant feeling of powerful trunk and geometric pattern of branches extending the utmost leaves.

"Hmm, I can do it beautifully"

After checking the appearance in 3D, I will think about the inside of the building.

Images of stone statues of Tatsuhiko are calculated, and light intensity and visual information are calculated.

"... It's kinda hard, is it?"

I trial and error, I verified it many times and I will make it little by little.

Little by little, little by little, a small amount of ants are broken so as to break the sugar cubes, but they are going forward.

How long have passed?

I had several meals and took a nap.

The memories during that are hazy. But my thinking was occupied by the details of the building. Make it in detail and accurately.

The last panel is touched.

"........Ho"

I did it. I feel I could expand my possibilities one more.

I fall from both feet. My energy ran out after a long time.

Let's take a short rest. I lean on the wall and slept as it is.





~ Minoru point of view ~



"Ah, this tea is good."

Warm and flaky

Munch-Munch.

"This rice cracker is also quite good"

"When I get old, I won't be able to eat hard food.
If you do not mind, would you like to eat here too? "

"Ah, okay, thank you."

Crunch-Crunch........ Ah, delicious.


"It's a beautiful garden. It is well maintain."

“Well when I am free, I took care of it.”

Hmm, relax, heal, relieve.

"Oh yeah, that's it ... As for what I came for today ..."

I decided to cut out the main subject to my grandmother. Because I becomes seriously forgetting about it when it came like this.





As for what happening right now, is because of the memo left by leader.

In order to make a company, you first need the address of the place where you do the main work, that is, your permanent address.

Even if its a store or office, you must rent this first. I already got funds to start up, so I decided to have an office in front of the station and visited a real estate agency.


Listening to various stories, I found a good property, but somehow my rebellious spirit towards the leader suddenly went up. When I thought about it, she told me that she entrust the property to me.

"I'm sorry, I would like to see this"

"Well, this one?"

"Yes"

"I heard that you are going to make a company in the future, but mostly who just started will get a smaller property first...."


"Could you show it for a moment?"

Grin.

The property was slightly away from the station, but you could not feel it's oldness as the number of years, because the foundation is solid.

"Okay, I choose this."

"... .... Ah, yes, thank you.
So I will explain the contract once we returned to the office... "


Although details are omitted, I decided to rent one whole three-story building with a parking lot.

After that I can open a bank account, just submit the documents to the government office after payment is over. The problem for now is the site acquisition.


According to the memo of leader, it is that I should go myself rather than leaving it to others. As I was told before, when asking a dealer, there seems to be quite a few people saying "I will refuse for the time being" as well.

Since it will not proceed unless I listen to their story, it seems best for me to go first, as I am local here, I probably indirectly know some of them.


So, I started from the owner of the land adjacent to the field, but it was a house I certainly knew.

"Before this, my mom asked me to bring this steamed potato and say thank you from before."

"Oh, yes, thank you."

Nevertheless, there is an interaction.

Okay, so with such reason, I decided to go around each house talking. Although I can only spin four or five times a day.

When I relaxed in my room at night, the sliding paper-door opened and my older brother came.

"Hey, what are you doing lately!"

"Recently, since I will be in the house till spring, I'm saying hello to our neighborhood"


"…………Hmm"

*whack suddenly*

While I was talking to my family about story at the house I was caught yesterday,『My brother will come to pruning the garden tree tomorrow. 』Because I was talking to him, I left without talking about land acquisition, but I was good not to start negotiations.

You might notice something about what we are doing, but you will not get to the truth.

"Well, I still have plan for tomorrow ..."

I wrote today 's event in my notebook, I went to bed after confirming the schedule for tomorrow.






~ ※ ※ ※ point of view ~


『Is not it overkill to drop a ship? 』

『You blew up where there where no people present, do not tinker with the inertia for a moment.』


『Even so, there may have been deaths.』

『Anyway they had to encounter it. Compared with the fact that one race might disappears from this universe ... 』


『It is me who will be haunted by various things.』

『Have you given the finest clothes for that? 』

『It is a measure taking into account all risks.』


『It does not change what you bothered, Please bill it for our race』

『I understand. Well then. 』

『Okay.』




Calls from the planet Sarnia and the spacecraft, which were said to be unable to talk, quietly ended.

34. Rescue and answer

~ Tatsuhiko point of view ~

"Tatsuhiko?!"

Before my line of sight is Shino who went to the Sarnia something government. Why is she here?

"Geh, Shino?"

Shino face instantly become ugly because of my words.

"Wait a minute, you do not have to say that! Geh ha!

"No, You are wrong. Because Shino is here meaning this is an enemy's city?
So I was just surprised. "

"Too bad, this is a neutral city.
If you were on enemy land, I had capture you, interrogate you, and make you obedient, but it was a such shame!"

"... It was good that this was a neutral city, seriously?
Also, is that S-like remark that sometimes manifest in yourself, how do you do that?"
(TN: 'S' = Sadist)

"Noisy!
What's wrong with that? Why are you in such a place? "

"Ahh, the ship which I was on crashed in the woods.
Since I was only one safe, I aimed at the nearest town.
I think that it was the ship of this city that crashed.
I would like to request a rescue, but do you know where I should go? "

Shino's face becomes stern.

"Umm!
If it is a rescue, I think they will manage is somehow at the terminal."(Usako)

"Ahh, the place where we got off"(Shino)

"Yes, there are also control towers, and all spare airships and fast-flying aircraft are there."(Usako)

"Okay, I'll head there, show me around.
... Well, who are you? "(Tatsuhiko)

"She is something like my attendant, call her Usako!"(Tatsuhiko)

"Ehh?! Usako??"(Usako)

She's mumbling 'that's my name?'. Shino seems to have named her base from her appearance of a small animal.

"Life is endanger, please guide me quickly"(Tatsuhiko)

As I said that, Usako was startled and began to lead the way saying "This way".

I stands out with the robot, but it cannot be helped. I ran away to catch up with Usako who's running ahead.

Usako seems to have the ability to immediately judge what was said, and solve it. Compared to young people of the same age, it is a great differences. She talked about the situation at the terminal and immediately finished the rescue arrangement.

With the tracer attached to the robot, they easily knew where the crashed happen. Originally it is a position information system that does not skip or mistake the place, but this is convenient.

"I will also go. Shino, can we meet later?"

"I'm going to stay in this city tonight, so it is okay."

"Then....."

I operated the bracelet. Shino returns the sign of OK with her fingers. Apparently, within this city it seems possible to communicate with a bracelet.

"Well, I'll go and get some help"

As I said so, I boarded the ship with the rescue team.




~ Shino point of view ~

I breathed out sign of relieved when I saw the ship took off.

"Somehow, that's kinda cool"

It seems that his human life have taken on, I do not know the detail, but Tatsuhiko was saved because the clothes we got from the goat merchant. He was able to reconfirm that he was able to go help other people rather than cherishing his saved lives. Well, it might be cool.

"...... How long will it take to make corrections at my usual weak-willed?"

"Umm..."

I am looking at Usako feeling curious. By the way, I did not explain anything.

"He from a little while ago was Takahiko from the same Planet Chance as me.
He was in charge of decoration of the upcoming Peace Conference and invited by the military army, okay? "

"Oh, yes, so it was that something like that?
Are all that was from the Planet Chance like Shino was such an artists?"

"I do not think so, perhaps, but probably .... Well, I guess that is the case."

How should we think that there are only five residents now?

"Well, whatever it was, I was saved.
Thank you for guiding me."

"No ...... And also it is a residence of this city, it is our homeland and I think that it is our place to say thanks."

"Speaking of that, two camps was fighting for one star."

"Yes ... .... The conflict continued over the ownership of this newly found star, and the one who started the development earlier preferred the colony, but the damage by the opponent's opposition came out "

"Wow, it looks somewhat muddy but ......"

"The army acting to defend and obstruct the opponent, it got strange from around where the military came to take the administration ..."

"It's a Military Government"

"That's right.
The real culprit was an intelligent person.
Thrusting the neck to the person like the person who approves and the prospector who aimed for catching a lot of money,
It has been in the mid-independent form and it is now. "

"It's become quite troublesome.
I'm sorry, but I will let you break away as soon as I'm done. "

"Perhaps it is not a long goverment like everyone is saying"

Usako made a bitter smile.

The bracelet trembled at night. By the way, I remember it as a vibe function. 

Although it was okay to call in the room, but it will be trouble when consulting with the presence another person. So Tatsuhiko borrowed a waiting room for the family overnight at a hospital, so I decided to go there. You are not my family you know.

"Yo, this one managed somehow.".

Because we share same room at the hotel, I brought Usako along with me. If it's an important story, I will have her wait outside.

"I would like to hear a detailed story. What happened and how did it happen?"

"From the conclusion, I do not understand, it was evening when the rescue end, I do not know yet if it's an accident, terrorism or external attacks.
I got a lift on the carrier that was returning to a neutral city, and it exploded on the route and fell.
Two crew members and my attendant were heavy injured, I just scanned the hull for safety, but no one was on board."

"It's not calm."

"Oh, it was okay. Then I was driving at the forest to call for help, but I met a tree.
I wonder what I should say, it's like an entity from the Lord of the Ring story. "

"Is that a tree with a trunk that's looks like a face?"

"Yes Yes.
And it seems he say his people are being killed rapidly since the humans came."

"Then those people are indigenous people here.
Then ...... will that mean that humans are invading this star?
Hey, Usako ... What does it mean? "

"Eh?
That monster can talk?"(Usako)

"Can't talk?"(Tatsuhiko)

"I have never heard of such a story.
This neutral city was also attacked once ...... Because it expanded the city first, it did not have a fence, but since the monster attacked, I heard that it was made to surround around it. "

"It's a fellow who went to negotiate.
I was told that nobody came back. "

"I heard that it is a tree monster that show it self just groaning ......"

"That should not be.
I heard it with this ear.
Ahh!! Of course, with translation function ... damn! "

(TN: So in short, a tree monster show up and want to communicate but they did not understand him so they attack it while Tatsuhiko can talk to the tree monster because of the translation device)

Tatsuhiko suddenly quieted.

"What's wrong?"

"So that's it ...... It was something like that? That goat merchant ... ... has something to about it."

"What, you understand it alone.
What do you mean? "

"Oh, I remember Shino, when we handed in a ribbon translator, the word the goat merchant said ..."


『With this you will not bothered by words in that star now.』


"We do not have trouble with words with this star ..."

"That is it, shit!
He knew, he knew it.
And then, he was hiding it... No, he told the request in a weird way to screw it."

"He said such a thing.
Not from the mediating race, it was a request from each side "

"In the process, things about the trees disappeared, that is intentional."

Then, what was the real intention of the conciliators?

Hmm? I feel like I get caught in something.

What is this strange feeling.

"Hey, I thought there was a race that is in mediation now, did they come to this planet to stop the conflict between humans?"

"...... ?!
Originally, they may have come to mediate the conflict between the races of humans and trees."

"That's right.
However, the representative of the human side is fighting because it is divided into two camps and it is not functioning. "

"If so, they decided to peace talk and once again decide on a representative and then enter into mediation ..."

When the human side peacefully becomes one, it is put into mediation. For that purpose they asked for the best talent from the goat merchants. They may have told the story to the human side.

They have changed the content of the request so that their factions work advantageously. Therefore, it became an irregular thing called subtly different request.

"Having said so, have you decide what you will do?"(Tatsuhiko)

"Yes, of course, I have the same opinion as Tatsuhiko."

"Then, let's pack it in detail"

We talked with each other until the night was over.




~ Minoru point of view ~

Tatsuhiko and Shino went with the goat merchant. And also Leader and Miya went with Prokame.

I am the only one left, but I have something to do here.

First, the defense of the stars.

It seems that we can cover the entire star with force field using the guardian's ring power. However, it seems to be a temporary measure when the guardian leaves the star. It will be automatically released if the guardian returns to the star.

It seems that this force field can be destroyed if it is above a certain level of civilization, but using it is the last resort. Anyway, the member of Prokame still remains here and is investigating ruins. If I create a force field, they will not be able to contact and move to the outside.

And the other is a list of "what to do in the planet" written on the paper handed by Leader.

"Somehow, it is troublesome negotiations only ...."

Three things to do are written in the list.

==============================

1. Establishment of company
2. Acquisition of nearby land
3. Get the cooperation of Three Oni Family

※ For detailed explanation, see page 2.


====
"............ Ha?"
I saw the second page.
====

【Company formation】


Company Name : Planet Chance Migration Station

CEO                       Yabane Minoru
Board Member 　  Agano Sae
Board Member       Kuonji Tatsuhiko
Board Member       Tsumura Shino
Board Member       Takamagahara Miya

Settlement date March 31


====
Below, the outline of the company is written as follow. It seems that all required documents have been created. I will have it and register the company. A pain in the neck I wonder why I am the CEO.
====


【Land Acquisition】


Consult the following landowner list so that you can enter negotiations for buying and selling.


====

I guess the leader has examined it. A list of addresses and owners was written. It will be necessary to turn each one separately. This is also a nuisance.
====


【Three Oni Family】

To visit the origin of each demon, to negotiate and make friends.
