Part 7
The next day,
Central Calendar Year 1639, Month 2, Day 6.
j.a.pan Air Self-Defense Force’s Tsuiki Airbase
Hanki and Yagou were in the visitor seat of the Air Festival. Tanaka was accompanying them.
(Actually, that so-called expressway is astonis.h.i.+ng, but I could finally see the metal dragon’s capability from a close distance.)
It wasn’t just Hanki, Yagou also was interested in the capabilities of the metal dragon. After all, it was necessary to confirm the report about the unidentified unit. That duty was shouldered by Yagou from the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
While both of them were languis.h.i.+ng in their nervousness, the Air Festival began.
For common citizens to enter the base and mingle with the military was something that was strange for Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality’s common sense. However, seeing the huge number of people who come to observe, Hanki felt that this country’s military was loved by the citizens.
『Right now, the
「Wh-……!」
「What did they just say!? Tanaka-dono!
Did they just say 850 km/hour? Am I mishearing things!?」
The agitated Hanki began to address Tanaka.
「No, you didn’t mishear it. The
announcer indeed says that the speed is 850 km/hour.」
From the right side, a flying object was approaching in silence. Then when
it approached the visitor seats, finally they begin to hear a sound.
「What a speed!」
Hanki yelped.
──iiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIII ──
The 『F-15』 that was covered with
non-glossy paint, began to climb in a trajectory that was close to vertical. The
surface of its wing cut through the air, which then formed a white cloud, from above
and below the wing tip, which then parted as if it was a white wake of a boat
in the sky.
──Gooooooooooooooo──
A thunder-like roar resounded in the surrounding area. From behind the
object, there was two red flame could be seen. It was the flame from the
afterburner. That aircraft then in that short time span had disappeared into
the blue sky.
「「…………」」
Hanki and Yagou, both of them were lost for words at the fighter jet that
they saw for the first time.
『Please look at the sky on the
left. The previous
「Eh!? Already?」
『
The 『F-15』 made a sharp turn in front of the
audience seat.
「So it has a maneuverability
this great……」
Then it climbed again.
「Even with that position, it
could even ascend again?」
Afterward, there were various airplanes performed acrobatic performance and
with the acrobatic flying from the Blue Impulse[1],
the Air Festival reached its end.
「…… Say, Tanaka-dono. That…… ef……
something, the metal dragon, how fast the speed it could have? Surely, this is
not their whole power.」
「You mean 『F-15』? Its fastest speed is Mach ── speed of sound, that is to say, twice and a half faster than the speed of
sound could be transmitted by the air. Since there will be a shockwave produced
when it crossed the speed of sound, for today’s flight, it looks like the speed
has been reduced to just about 850 km/hour.」[2]
「「…………」」
✦✧✦✧✦
From Hanki’s Diary. That day’s entry.
A city that is overflow with huge buildings, then large covered roads
suspended up in the air (they called it the expressway), the large-scale transportation
systems called railway. This country called j.a.pan that could build such tremendous
structures makes me startled.
Furthermore, this city is not j.a.pan’s capital city. This city is nothing
more than a provincial city. I wish there is a word that conveys surprise
greater than shocked.[3]
The combat metal dragon can fly with a speed 2.5 times the speed of the
sound and its climbing power is also unbelievable. It’s a monster that not only
possess such tremendous speed, but its combat operational range is also
exceeding 1,000 km. From their point of view, our country’s wyverns might be
seen like they are not moving at all. From what I heard from our guide, Tanaka-dono,
that metal dragon could even be used for air support in the sea or the land.
The metal dragon that intruded on Maihark before is a threat, but it’s not
their true strength.
If it was the combat metal dragon, then they could raid Maihark without
even giving us the chance to do anything. In other words, their intrusion on
Maihark can be guessed to be completely nothing more than a patrolling action.
We absolutely must establish a friendly relation with j.a.pan.
To make enemies of them is more frightening than making enemies of the major
countries in the Civilized Land.
We must never be hostile to them no matter what.
✦✧✦✧✦
s.h.i.+nniko Hotel, Suite Room.
「Say, Yagou-dono.」
「What is it?」
「What’s do you think about
j.a.pan?」
「Let’s see…… If I could express
it in one word, then it will be 『affluent』, so astonis.h.i.+ngly…… The interior of the hotel has a fixed maintained
temperature, just like that large s.h.i.+p. To warm a building this large, just how
many fuels they used…… Furthermore, they are not only warming this room that
has been specially prepared for us, but also controlling the temperature in the
entrance hall and even the corridor. They even have a device that just by
turning it, hot water will come out. Without needing even to make the smallest
fire, we can use hot water. The toilet also don’t smell at all.」
Just the sense of surprise from the housing accommodation that he had
experienced so far had almost cause Yagou paralyzed.
However, even though he received an impact from the Air Festival as if his
head had been hit, when he returned to the hotel at the evening, he experienced
the unknown world even more.
「If you go outside there is unmanned
selling machines, where you could obtain cooled drinks or alcohol depending on
the location. You can always obtain freshly cooked food or clothes from the
shops that opened in the nighttime, even the fine quality ones. The food selling
counters in large stores always lined up with fresh foods. The major roads of
the city are brightly illuminated from the street lamp that you could walk
without using a lantern and the public order is extremely good. It vexing me
but the difference in national power is apparent.」
Yagou paused for a moment and shook his head. In his eyes, there was a hint
of fear.
「…… I am honestly surprised at the
Air Festival. It displayed the overwhelming difference in power. I think that we
must not make enemies out of j.a.pan.」
「As expected, you have the same
conclusion…… In front of that combat
metal dragon, wyvern’s sky combat tactic won’t be useful. Tomorrow we will
depart to the capital. j.a.pan is really bad for my heart.」
「I am also frightened by it,
but on the other hand, I also get thrilled. For a country like this suddenly
appeared close to us, furthermore, it possesses a civilization higher than even
the Civilized Land that looked down on others. And our country is the first
country they made contact with…… If they don’t have any hegemonic ambition, then
this is a fortunate boon for us.」
Yagou and Hanki continued their conversation until late at night.
✦✧✦✧✦
The next day,
Central Calendar Year 1639, Month 2, Day 7.
It was a cool morning, The cloud was high and the sky was clear, and the
visibility was good.
Since the air pollutant PM 2.5 drifting from China had disappeared too, the
sky of j.a.pan became clearer as days pa.s.sed.[4]
One man wearing a stylish clothing ── the so-called suits ── was standing in the lobby, waiting for the delegation members.
「Good morning, everyone. Do you
have a good sleep last night?」
Tanaka greeted the gathered delegation members.
「For today’s schedule. After
the breakfast, there will be an explanation about the event in Tokyo at 10
o’clock, then we will then depart the Hotel at 11.30. At 12 o’clock, we will
board the Tokyo-bound s.h.i.+nkansen that depart from Hakata. Then at 17.04 we will
arrive at Tokyo Station, afterward……」
While listening to the explanation, one thing that Yagou had sensed every
day since his arrival in j.a.pan was that they have a clear concept of time pa.s.sage.
Every member of the delegation was given a delicate machinery called a
wrist.w.a.tch.
It could mark the pa.s.sage of time in second and also could be easily
carried around, then for the military, it might be possible to perform a
simultaneous attack without any time difference. In the context of its effective
military application, it was amazing. What was even more astonis.h.i.+ng, the
distributed watch is called an 「elektrik solar watch」, as long as there is a light, it
could continue move, and as long as it was in j.a.pan, the time calculation error
will be only 1 second in 100,000 years.
He didn’t know how to explain it since he didn’t understand the
construction of the watch itself.
Instead of asking that, Yagou has one question about the time.
「Tanaka-dono, I had heard that the
distance between Hakata and Tokyo is more than 1000 km…… But I had heard the
explanation that the vehicle that is called s.h.i.+nkansen that we will board today
is a vehicle that travel in a great speed over the land.」
「That’s correct. Is there
something that makes you concerned?」
「That we will arrive at 17:04,
what does this means? Could you accurately calculate it even to the minutes?」
「Yes. Unless for a disaster or
accident, it will punctually arrive on time.」
(…… It seems that j.a.pan really can’t be measured with our common sense.)
「I understand. Thank you ver-……」
*screech*────*shhhh* ──*blam*.
There was a sound of objects colliding.
Yagou looked at the outside and saw a woman collapsed with blood leaking
from her head and one strange yellow vehicle stopped beside her.
「So it’s yet another taxi
accident?」
Tanaka spat out.
It was something that could be said often happened in f.u.kuoka’s downtown, an
accident involving a Taxi.
The accident victim woman collapsed on the ground feebly.
「Not good! She needs immediate
treatment‼」
Yagou ran outside.
「Please wait, Yagou-dono. The
ambulance will soon ──」
Yagou eluded Tanaka attempted to stop him and ran outside the hotel to
approach the collapsed woman.
From Tanaka’s point of view, a member of foreign diplomatic mission like
Yagou wouldn’t be able to treat an injured person. He followed Yagou and ran
towards the accident location.
A crowd already formed in the surrounding, but Yagou pushed his way through
the people and looked at the injured woman.
The woman hung her head down and from the wound opened in her head, blood vehemently
flowed at each pa.s.sing heartbeat.
「This is bad …… 『وزرةفشهلاشوخزولاوشكصسخث٤هلشةخهسثخ』……」
Yagou started to chant something and his right hand over the woman’s head
began to shed a pale light.
「──‼! Th-……the wound is‼」
The wound in the woman’s head immediately closing.
「Am-……amazing‼ Do you see!? That
thing just now‼」
Someone amongst the crowd yelled.
「Look‼ That man chanted
something and the wound is closing‼」
「Un-…… Unbelievable. It’s like
a magic‼」
After the woman’s wound finished to be closed, Yagou tilted his head at the
expression of the surrounding people.
「? Certainly, it’s magic, but is there something wrong?」
「「「Oooooooooooooooo」」」
The people made a commotion at his nonchalant answer.
The confused Yagou was engulfed in that clamor.
