Maid: Mitsuha-sama, this is serious!
In the evening, I was checking the docunts while leisurely drinking tea at the office when, Paulette, a maid from a Mountain Village, ca rushing in with pale expression .
Oh, I said [evening] that would sound like nightti, but I call it around 15-18 oclock .
(TN: 3-6 pm would be called afternoon, which is still bright outside . )
I studied the weather forecast under the influence of my mother, and the definitions for weather forecasting seeped in .
Its Paulette, shes like always making a big fuss about everything, so lets not get too excited and calmly wait for the continuation of her words .
Paulette: A person from the fishing village inford us!, at the sea, the sea, a ship!
No, its normal to have a ship in the sea, you know . If there are ships on the mountain, then Ill be surprised .
Paulette: And anyway, please co out and have a look!
Sohow, it seems to be really serious this ti, so I ca out and went outside and looked at the sea .
(U wa~a), indeed, there are ships in the sea .

3 wooden sailing ships . I dont know the details just by looking at the size of the ship, but I think 200 to 300 tons maybe .
Certainly, Columbus boarded a ship which only about 100 tons and the Golden Hind which Francis Drake was riding which supposed to be a galleon ship with about 300 tons, so it was such a .
It seems that the aspect of a large ship, is not very well known the people in this part of the country .
. What a huge ship, I wondered .
Mitsuha:Ergency protocol! call all of the Lords army! move it!
To my instructions, the servants who were in the vicinity rushed out all at once .
Once I returned to the private office and took out the binoculars, I observed them carefully, it seems that there is no boat heading towards the land, they are anchored and not doing anything .
It is only 2 hours away from sunset, so it is normal to avoid entering the unknown land at night, they are going to land tomorrow, huh
Will you just raise the anchor and leave?
Updated from novelhall[.]com
Well if thats the case, they would continue sailing at night without anchoring .
I have heard from Earl and the others that, no one has ever co here by ship from another continent . And also, [I have never seen such a ship before], in the first place .
In other words, its the first (foreign) custor .
There will be water, food supply and other purposes, so its decided they will land .
And this [other purposes] is the problem .
I hope they are friendly, but those who go on a journey seeking other continents on a sailing boat at this civilization level, are said to be one of the earths history .
The brave explorer goes on a dangerous voyage, in exchange for a huge reward for success with the aid of the king .
The objective is to conquer the newly discovered land, plunder the treasures, and capture the slaves .
And (genocide) massacre of the natives with a sense of being a ga, just to relieve their boredom .
Yeah, just pretty much what Columbus did back on Earth .
A man who strikes a big gamble of life is not supposed to be a decent and kindhearted good person, thats a common sense .
Oh, the Antarctic Expedition is different . Its not that they went to hunt and steal treasures or grabbing so of the slaves, nor is it a gamble for money .
However, the length of the coastline here is much longer than anywhere else, so why bother to stay off the coast? The reason is simple .
The Earls fishing village, is also equivalent to our library-in-respect . ( )
Moreover, the village cannot be seen from the open sea because its a Bay . The capital is way inland so you cant see it at all .
On the other hand, the fishing villages and the towns that are not too far from the coast, and the elevated buildings are all visible from the open sea . You can also see the Lords mansion . Its more convenient to have a place where human beings can live than nothing .
In addition, there are many reasons why the ship ca along the coast from the opposite side of the Bozes territory, I will observe them when they will be heading straight to the land, or when it lands .
Should I send a ssage to the Earl?
In the worst case, its necessary to do so without consequences . It is bad to see it all .
However, 1 day for the ssage to co, half day for the Earl to prepare for the soldiers, and another 1 day to co .
In the worst case, after the end?
Besides, I am more troubled of handling the enemies I caught, even if I catch more than half of the prisoners, the total number of our citizens are .
OK then, dealing with the prisoners, lets just throw it to the Earl!
And then If the talk goes peacefully, lets just throw it to the Earl!
If you are talking about trades or diplomatic relations between countries, you can only leave it to Earl Bozes and the other residents who are influential aristocrats with territory facing the ocean .
So, before writing a letter to the Earl, lets report it to the King first .
No, we may be fighting against other ships, so I have to report it to the king and get permission to do so . If you deal with it poorly, it might beco a war with other countries .

For once, I am a mber of the kingdoms aristocrat, even now .
Mitsuha: Checkmate King Seven, Checkmate King Seven, this is White Rook, Over
Sabine:Oh my, That is a bit early today . What happened, Mitsuha-neesama?
As usual, the response from Sabine-chan, was returned instantly .
Every day, just how early are you waiting in front of the radio?
Mitsuha: Its an ergency . Open the 5th envelope that I gave you .
Sabine: Eh I, . . Understood, please wait a mont .
Sabine-chan is a smart girl . Even though she is playful or amusing as usual, but when the other party is serious, she will play the field properly .
After about 30 seconds, Sabine-chans voice flows again from the radio speaker .
Sabine: Onesama, this is .
Mitsuha: Yeah, I will lift the restrictions on the use of the far-end communication spells . Pass it to the King imdiately . Hes probably in a eting, or maybe with a guest, but I dont care, its an ergency .
Sabine: Understood, leave it to !
Sabine-chan seems to have rushed out of the room .
Maybe the King will soon co to Sabine-chans room .
Well, its ti for conspiracy After a long ti .
King: Ah, ah~, is this okay?
Sabine: Yeah, take your finger off of it . (TN: Hes probably blocking the mic . )
The King and Sabine-chans voice flowed out from the speaker .
That was very quick indeed .
Mitsuha: Your Highness, its an ergency . Is there anyone else with you?
King: Oh, Oh, the voice of Mitsuha from inside the box! Are you really at the Viscount Yamano territory? How can we hear the voice of Mitsuha from the Viscount Yamano territory?
Oh, well~, its usually hard to believe it .
But thats not the point right now .
Mitsuha: Your Highness, I am in a hurry, so I will cut to the chase . First of all, please tell the mbers who are there with you right now
King: Oh, , Sabine, Pri Minister Zall, Marquis Icebringer, and the Crowned Prince Lionel
Yeah, the condition that the king and several people, whom the king thinks he can put the absolute trust and the secret can be kept, is clear . Now then, onto the main subject .
Mitsuha: There are 3 large ships anchored off the coast of our territory, it probably ca from a distant country . From the old experience of my ho country, they will claim the land they found as their own territory, then take away the treasure and bring back slaves with them, I might be wrong with this, but in off chance that they were such people, may I annihilate them?

Huh? (Are?)
There is no reply?
King: How much do you know about the enemys strength?
They finally replied .
Mitsuha: No, its not decided weather or not they are enemies yet Well, Im not really accurate but I guess, around 200 people per ship, a total of around 600 people 3 ships combined
I dont know well, but I think that maybe at least 70 people per ship, even up to 200 people at most, its inevitable that the range of expectation increases, because it is not possible to predict whether the number of people is small or large, due to the emphasis on the force expedition without refueling .
King: Are you expecting them to be ard? . What do you think of your current combat strength, compared to Mitsuhas ho country?
Oh, thats right!
It will beco a full image, with reference to the Earth .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
Mitsuha: Because you have an excellent image of what we are capable of, but then its not omnipotent compared to my ho country . So please listen, its just that there is such a possibility .
King: I understand, please tell .
Mitsuha: First of all, considering the ti of civilization and the size of the ship to go out to develop a new shipping route with 3 ships, I think there are cannons and guns . The cannon is a weapon that will launch a chunk of iron, and will probably fly for only a mile or so, I think that only the fishing villages on the coast will be reached . The gun, well, its an imitation of the sacred instrunt of my ho country, but the power is only about 1/100, and it takes a lot of ti and effort for each shot .
King: But you can not win with the sword?
Mitsuha: No, if only a few hundred people ca ashore, the advantage of the land is mine . Ambush, surprise attack, night raid, you can do anything . No matter how many guns you have, theres nothing you can do if youre getting shot by arrows all at once from the shade of a tree or from the top of a cliff, or if you are attacked by fire . Its also good to burn food supplies and poison water .
Huh? (Are?)
Why are you not replying again?
