Chapter 243: Escape
In the commander room of the escort team’s HQ, the staff finally sighed in relief now that they had finally overcome the predicament. They then immediately moved on to their next job. One of the officers had a rather irritated expression instead of an exhausted one as he said.
“To think that an old-world connector from Sakashita Heavy Industry is in the lost transport vehicles… As well as those people trying to kidnap them. Good grief. I know that it’s not like we can refuse, but it would be great if they told us beforehand, you know?”
Another officer chuckled and replied.
“In the end, the old-world connector is fine and we were able to quickly take control of the situation since we immediately gave that order to recapture the lost transport vehicles. We did our job. At least we can use that as cover.”
“Though, they could make a complaint, saying that we should have given that order sooner.”
His goal for escaping the convoy was not to regain his freedom. It was just a means to do something, and in order to accomplish that, Shirou took a long detour to head to Kugamayama city.
After that, rumours that an old-world connector from Sakashita Heavy Industry had infiltrated Kugamayama city started to appear.
