147 . Information Gathering Night Part 2
I squeezed myself among the custors and asked a lot of questions .
No one looked down to a girl who is a friend of their co-workers or superiors and loves the navy-stuff . Moreover, its a girl whose age is close to their granddaughters . And it seems amusing for them that the girl got into such a place alone .
Also, from my self-introduction, or rather, from the content of my na, they naturally considered as a noble daughter . I an, theres no common girl who puts out one gold coin for one cup of juice .
Considering my heritage and that I will be the wife of so noble in the future, a navy-loving noble girl like should be an important treasure in Navys perspective .
Well, theyre probably think that Im originally a daughter of a naval house .
And so, if you make-fun of the army while praising the navy and help them emptying their glass until theyre drunk, eventually their mouth becos loose . Alright, speak already!!
Currently, is there a plan to deploy a new exploration fleet? (Mitsuha)
Every how many years do the navy deploy that sort of fleet? (Mitsuha)
As expected, do we occupy the continent we find and make it a territory of our country, also do we make all the residents as slaves? (Mitsuha)
Right, it would be suspicious if I ask such a thing suddenly as a noble daughter of another country in the social world of the Royal capital .
But here, there are grandpas who gladly answer to every question that a curious navy-loving lass asked .
As expected, military secrets and political stuffs is one thing, but what I want to know is not that sort of stuffs . I dont want to hear about politics of another country . So no problem .
I can collect information about that kind of stuff in the royal capital .
After that I ordered [Single Milk, Rock] and [Orange Juice, Straight], and gave the bartender gold coins . I tried to look cool by playing trick with the coin and it flew sowhere, everyone helped to search the coin
No, I knew so splendid tricks, just so you know!
And it seems to be the right ti to withdraw . As expected, I cant afford to stay until the closing ti, which will be late at night .
When I said Im going ho, the bartender returned all the gold coins except the first one and nine small gold coins .
As expected, if I have a little girl to pay several gold coins just for a few soft-drinks, it will be recorded in the black history of my life, please pardon (Bartender)
Well, if he says it like that, I have to receive it .
Thank you for everything today! it was very fun! Oh, thats right! (Mitsuha)
I almost forget .
In case I get to hear good stuffs, I prepared gifts to thank them and to make good impression in the future .
Of course, I dont think theyll accept it if I try to give them sothing expensive, and its not smart to give an expensive gift for sothing like this . In such cases, this kind of gifts is perfect .
Right, because theyre drinkers, so booze is the best!
I will pay the carry-on fee, please overlook this one . (Mitsuha)
I told the bartender that, and I took a bottle from my bag .
Theres no way I can get one for each of them . I cant bring that much . So, from one bottle, pour little by little into everyones glass for tasting .
Its the booze from our side, can you try it? (Mitsuha)
Without realizing, I stopped using polite words and beca unreserved, well whatever . Nobody will get angry at a little girl, maybe .
When I opened the lid, the bartender gave a new glass for each person, and I poured into everyones glass .
No carry-on fee is required, let taste it too (Bartender)
U~n, gladly!
And everyone holds out their glass towards the light to check the color, spins the glass and slls the scent, then puts it in their mouth and after a few seconds, they gulped it down their throat .
Wha (everyone)
Ufufufu, are you surprised?
This is the pride of my holand, The Hakushu 12-Years-Old Single Malt Whisky!
Due to limited budget, I cant afford the 18-Years-Old or the 25-Years-Old!
Alright, it seems I dont even have to hear what they think . With this, a good impression of mustve been planted . Please give good information next ti too!
Well then, later! (Mitsuha)
With that said, i left the bar before everyone reacted .
It feels like I heard sothing from behind, what a bunch of lively drunkards .
(Narrators POV)
Hey! (Uncle 1)
Roger that! (Bunch of Uncles)
A little girl cannot be allowed to walk on the road at night alone . Moreover, shes a girl of a noble family who is cute and navy-friendly .
And several n jumped out of the bar to escort the girl ho .
The others were tasting the glass of liquor little by little . Its sacrilegious to drink it all at once .
After a while, the n who ca out returned .
Wha You lots, what about that girl! Why return without escorting her ho!? (Uncle 2)
The n who remained in the bar got up from their chair and shouted at the other group .
As a gentleman, they cannot overlook the fact that a girl walks alone at night . So, naturally theyre surprised when the escort group return this soon . Its only a few minutes after the girl leaves the bar, one can hardly imagine that she has already escorted to her house in such short ti .
W-well, when we got out of the bar, she just went into the first alley on the right, so we hurriedly followed her, but when we got into the alley, she was already gone . We ran in a hurry and searched all the branches but could not find her . Even if she was kidnapped, it is impossible to run that fast while carrying a girl, and there is no carriage, no doors, no wooden box that can hide the girl . First of all, how long did it take us to run! A few seconds at most! It doesnt even take 10 seconds! Do you think one can kidnap girl that age without making a voice, in such a short ti, in a place without carriages or entrances!? (Uncle 3)
(the uncles)
Its hopeless .
It was uncertain that she had been kidnapped and given the circumstances it seems unlikely that it was possible .
They only know her first na and doesnt know her origin .
[Multiple n chased the girl, that they t for the first ti, after she ca out of the bar, but they lost sight of her]
If you make such report to the guards, they will move imdiately . Investigating the suspicious n who tried to follow the girl .
its useless, it cant be helped (an Uncle)
However, everyone is not seriously worried .
Through the various talks, they know that the girl is not a complete idiot, that she seems to have so awareness of the security situation in the port town, and that she seems quite bold . And the ti between when she left the bar and when she was disappeared is too short . It was much more logical to think that she had prepared a safe way to get ho in advance than to think she was involved in an incident .
And soone muttered the words that represented everyones mind .
who in the world is she, that little girl (last uncle)
And then everyone silently tasted the liquor . The liquor that was offered as a sample with an incredibly rich aroma . Of course, the bartender was one of them
