Part 2
j.a.pan Maritime
Self Defense Force Helicopter Destroyer 『Izumo』.[1]
When the j.a.panese Government realized that the
communication to other countries suddenly ceased, it was impossible to detect any
satellite signals, and they had been transferred to completely another planet, they
launched the JMSDF anti-submarine aircraft 『P-3C』 to all direction.[2]
The j.a.panese Government judged that j.a.pan can’t
survive with just herself. She need to immediately enter a diplomatic relation with
civilized nations and securing food is an absolutely indispensable action, so
they acted in a speed that was unprecedented before.
First of all, to find out the possibility of initiating
diplomatic relation with people that seemed to be civilized based on its scale,
which they had discovered at the south direction, the j.a.panese Government
decided to dispatched diplomats alongside with the largest JMSDF ship, the Helicopter
Destroyer 『Izumo』.
If a military uninformed people saw that ship, they
will see it as a carrier ship. That was the largest ship in JMSDF’s history.
The reason this ship was chosen to thread the unknown
waters of another world where anything could happen was since this ship could
operate 14 helicopters at the most, can accommodate a large amount of personnel
and its adaptability and versatility are high.
The JDF had been preparing it to sail out at any time
ever since the transfer, so after the diplomat boarded, 『Izumo』 immediately depart.
Behind 『Izumo』 outside the visual radius, there were several destroyers to escort 『Izumo』. Properly speaking, there should be several destroyers following at its
surrounding, but they put the concern that the other party might get alarmed more
than necessary.
『Izumo』 planned to approach the small
ship that had been caught by its radar, which they considered as the ship from
their target civilization, finally they able to see a small sailing ship. It
was an antiquated design that came out from a history textbook. On a closer inspection,
at the ship’s deck, there was what looks like oil jars, wooden shield to ward
arrows installed at regular distances, and armor wearing soldiers in formation with
a dumbfounded expression.
Since this world’s structure and organization were
completely unknown, they mustn’t injure the native people. 『Izumo』 carefully decelerated and lowered
the boarding gate’s gangway ladder. Since there was no other native warship, unarmed
crew beckoned and ushered several natives from the gangway.
The crew showed the native to 『Izumo』’s deck where they will talk with the diplomat.

Midori was bewildered.
Is this place really the top of a ship? It was such a
wide deck that made he thought that they even could perform cavalry battle at
this place. At such place, there were several people who wear strange clothing
and didn’t carry a single weapon, stood before him. Perhaps he was the person
in charge who will talk with Midori, one of the men who wear a refined clothing
stepped forward.
There were no other people at the deck, but a ship
this big would have incredible number of crew. If, for example, Midori’s group
kill these men, then they wouldn’t be able to return to their own ship alive. Nevertheless,
since the other party seemed to have no hostile intention, Midori mustered his
courage and began to talk.
「I am Captain Midori of Warship Pima from Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality Navy’s 2nd
Fleet. This location is the adjacent sea of Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality, if you
proceed beyond this then you will enter our country’s territorial water. May you
please tell me your ship nationality and the purpose for your sailing?」
The person in charge and the people around him made a
surprised expression.
「What the‼ He understand j.a.panese‼」
What are they marveled about, Midori couldn’t comprehend.
The person in charge then replied.
「Excuse our manners. I am Tanaka, a Diplomat from a country named j.a.pan. The
Government of j.a.pan, our country, wish to initiate a diplomatic exchange with
your country, which I presumed to be called Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality. Depending
on the circ.u.mstances, then we will consider establishing a diplomatic
relationship. I am grateful if you can relay it to the people in charge of your
country.」
「That means, you are a country’s envoy?」
「Yes, that’s true. The people behind you seems to be nervous, but we have no
hostile intention, so please be at ease.
Midori’s subordinate nervousness slightly loosened, and
even for just a bit, they calmed down.
「I understand. I will report your intention to your country. But I want to
ask you a question. The unit that appeared at the airs.p.a.ce above Maihark in our
country several days ago, is it your country’s knight?」
「Knight……? If you mean our country’s 『P-3C』, then that is correct. About that incident, then I hope you can relay the formal
apology from our country.」
The word “pee-tree-see” that Tanaka spoke was
something that Midori never heard at all.
Midori was doubtful, but after a short pause, Tanaka
began to talk an unbelievable story to Midori and his group.
「Our country, suddenly arrived at this world. To ascertain about what kind
of world this world is, we launched many patrol airplanes, and one of these
patrol planes ended up intruded on your country’s airs.p.a.ce. We are terribly
sorry if it had caused a major problem for your side.」
The baffled Midori’s subordinates were looking at each
other, but also at the JDF personnel.
It was understandable. For an entire country transferred
to another world, it was a very foolish story.
However, judging from the serious expression that
possessed by Tanaka and the men standing around him, it didn’t appear to be
just a joke. For the moment, Midori decided to report what he had heard as it
is.
「…… I see, I understand your circ.u.mstances. Since I will report your intention
to our country, I ask you to wait.」
「Yes. ――Umm, how many days should we wait?」
「Ah, no. I will immediately report to our country with manacom and request their
decision, so it will be fine to wait for a few moment. Something like this can’t
be decided by myself alone.」
「I see…… Since, you have a communication device, right?」
✦✧✦✧✦
Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality, 2nd Navy’s Control Room.
「Commander Nouka‼ A dispatch from warship Pima has came‼」
「Read it‼」
「『Performed on board inspection of the large ship, the other party doesn’t
have a hostile intention. Furthermore, there are foreign affairs official from
j.a.pan, the nation that dispatched the ship, on board the ship, and wish to have
a conference with diplomatic relation establishment with our country as their objective.
The size of the ship, length 250m by eye measurement, width 40m by eye
measurement, can’t confirm anything resembling sails or oars.』」
Nouka was speechless. He had heard that it was a large
ship, but at that size, it was already similar to a palace.
「『About the incident with an unidentified object several days ago. It was j.a.pan’s
patrol unit who entered our country when in patrol flight. About their
circ.u.mstances…… The country had been transferred to this world, is what the
person in charge informed me』…… Is what he reported……」
「A country transferred to this world!? What a nonsense, how can I report something
like this to the superiors‼」
As expected, he couldn’t just listen to this in
silence, so Nouka shouted out. Fortunately, it seems that they understood each
other language, but in this situation, it was much preferable if they still couldn’t
understand the language of the other party.
「A moving 250m ship, is something that is quite absurd, but it’s a fact that
they have seen it with their own eyes…… In my humble opinion, to not report
this will be quite bad. Furthermore, they continued 『j.a.pan Government offered a formal apology to our country. So they appealed for
an answer from Princ.i.p.ality’s Foreign Affairs officials.』」
The communication operator answered in somewhat calmer
att.i.tude than Nouka and carried out his duty.
「Gugh……‼ What a nonsense situation…… Ah, that’s right!」
「Is something wrong?」
「Right now, there should be a government meeting about the unidentified
unit. Immediately made a report.」
「Yes, Sir.」
The communication operator then transmitted the on
board inspection report to Kwa-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality Capital City with the Mana
Communicator.
