Chapter 14: Touchdowns
Chapter 14: Touchdowns
There are still nearly two hours left before arriving at the courthouse. But considering the core area of New Tokyo City, there are less than thirty minutes left for the mercenaries to dare to 'mess around'.
Move along the road at high speed and leave the road speed limit behind.
Klut checked the remaining distance and the road conditions with PPK.
Because of the angle, Griffin's reconnaissance satellites are unable to provide support to Kluet, and at this time, intelligence support from the girls is even more important.
"How do I get there?"
[Go straight for 600 meters and turn right at the first intersection.] The traffic on this route is good, and the next red light can be avoided considering the speeding]
If I have to say it, running a red light is nothing.
But the problem is that others may not be able to break in. If the road ahead is blocked, Klute will have to slow down.
In this case, the choice of route is particularly important β with the help of public transport management software (this is a free software developed by the Japan Transportation Agency), PPK quickly navigated the road conditions and successfully mapped out a route for Klut without stopping.
Is it easy?
It's actually quite easy.
After all, this level of data processing is not complicated for a humanoid.
But for humans, it's a different story.
At least there's nothing Klut can do about it. In the field of transportation, he will only slam on the gas pedal and honk wildly...... Then sign for the ticket.
βOKγβ
Three rows of six wheels and ten tons, the alloy behemoth was propelled by military engines and let out a deafening roar on the straight road.
To date, Iron Will has not appeared.
Although this unexpected situation worries Klut a little, it doesn't happen just doesn't happen. It would be better if it could be kept like this.
And as Kluet had hoped, the rest of the journey was surprisingly peaceful.
"Are you timid......
Klute thought about it for a moment and took it for granted.
After all, this is the city of New Tokyo, and intercepting it in the outer area is already very deadly. If the interception continues, it will be the power of the state that provokes.
Although Japan has been broken by the war, the gap between the two is still incredibly large compared to mere companies.
"But the trouble isn't over yet......"
A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
No matter how much mercenaries or iron-blooded, the enemies they intercept will no longer appear. But should I say that I deserve to be the police of New Tokyo...... It took so long to find them.
"Humvee below, please note that this is the New Tokyo City Police Station. Please stop for inspection, repeat, for the safety of your life, please stop immediately, otherwise we will take enforcement action. β
The roaring propellers grew louder, and Klute looked up to see the helicopter moving at a constant speed with this side.
It was a beautiful machine with a white background painted blue, and it was printed with the chrysanthemum pattern of the Japanese police. Klute roughly counted them and confirmed that there were six of them.
"It's not a small stance."
But the threat is not great.
If the two sides exchange fire, Klute is really sure of a two-point victory.
But there is no need for this.
Although there was a slight conflict with the plan, Alice could not be sent directly. But that's not bad for now.
Klute complied with the police's request and slowly slowed down.
Under the watchful eye of a helicopter, he parked his military car next to the road. Then he looked at Miss July, as if to say, "It's all up to you."
"Don't worry, it's going to be fineβ"
Miss July nodded very seriously, pulled the car door and jumped out.
She began to negotiate with the police who had abseiled down, explaining her identity and current situation.
Taking advantage of this moment, Klute turned his head to the back of the car. looked at Alice, who was sitting in the back row.
"No problem, right?"
"That's enough."
The girl, who didn't speak all the way, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
She looked back at Klute with a determined look and nodded.
"Leave it to me."
That's all Klut can do, and next, Kaguya-e-sama...... No, it's time for Kaguya's show.
Pushing open the car door and raising his hands, Klute calmly watched as the gun-wielding SWAT team members rushed towards him, showing off their plastic handcuffs.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Kluet? Heinledo? β
"It's me."
"So, I have some questions for you, please sit down there."
"Okay."
Kluet's interrogation came later than expected. And the intensity of the interrogation was quite low compared to the chaos it caused.
It was just a simple handcuff of the deputy, and there was neither mental torture nor coercion and temptation. Within three hours of his arrest, Klute even had a meal β the pork chop rice here was quite delicious, and in short, it smelled like 'mommy'.
Your mother is going to be sad, isn't she?
Inexplicably, Klute remembered his collection of movies - in Japanese cop films, this sentence appears surprisingly often (don't believe it).
"The purpose of your trip is to escort Alice? Kaguya-sama goes to the Central Court? β
"Yes."
"In the process, you and your humanoid did not actively open fire, but fought back in self-defense after being attacked?"
"Of course."
"There are reports that you caused a major traffic accident. Did you take the initiative to fire at pedestrians during this process? β
"Absolutely not."
"There are cameras on the scene, although there are blind spots that cannot be seen. And your car video will also be called. Although your humanoid form is protected by the Humanoid Protection Law, it will not be forcibly retrieved from memory. But if we find that what you say doesn't match the reality, then the next inquiry will not be so simple. β
Probably bought by the Kaguya clan.
The interrogation officer's mildness went beyond the concept of a 'servant of the people'. He was not inquiring at all with the attitude of 'not wronging a good person', but blatantly explaining the situation to Kluet. Confirm his confession with him.
It's the first time in years that Klut has encountered anything like this.
Although this is not a good thing, I have to say that it is really comfortable to fall on yourself.
"Of course, we are law-abiding companies and will never shoot at ordinary people."
"That's fine, we police won't let go of any bad guy, but we won't wronged any good guy either...... Oh yes, Kaguya-sama has already completed the contract with the company of Attorney Fei, you should want to know this. β
The trial thus concluded.
Soon, in a friendly atmosphere, Klute was released.
Although a certain female police officer who personally carried out the arrest on him was very atmospheric about it, this kind of thing is like this. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't change anything.
With his humanoid girls with him, Klute left the police station empty-handed - the weapons they were carrying had already been confiscated by the police. At least in New Tokyo, they won't be returned.
After all, I'm afraid of causing trouble.
Specially hired lawyers, kind police officers. While waiting in the interrogation room, not only did I eat a good bowl of pork chop rice, but I even tasted a good cup of tea.
Finally, when Klute stepped out of the police station door and saw Alice again, only four hours had passed.
"All the things that need to be taken care of are done?"
Krut walked over to the girl, naturally reaching out and stroking her hair.
Unlike when she came, the girl was already surrounded by bodyguards and maidsβthey formed an arc formation and surrounded the girl in the middle of the crowd.
This is not the treatment of any eldest lady.
To have such a posture can only prove one thing - Alice has gone through all the legal procedures and has become the head of the new generation of clans.
Life is unpredictable...... That's it.
"Of course, the rest are all trivialities, and I will leave them to Lawyer Concubine to deal with."
Alice reached out and took Kluter's large hand from her head, and then she stepped closer and stood side by side with Kluter. Naturally, he grabbed his arm.
"From this moment on, I will be the head of the Kaguya family."
Instead of looking at Kluet, she looked ahead.
Although there was no fluctuation in her tone, from the trembling arms, Klut could sense the uneasiness in her heart.
"Ahh......hh
"Although the security guards of this family are very conscientious, they are still a little lacking in ability. So...... Can you protect me. β
"Hmm."
"If you want money, you can drive it?"
"Hmm."
"But on the other hand, don't run away halfway, please protect me until the end."
"Hmm."
Klute nodded, not saying anything more.
The cool breeze of early autumn swept across his face, but the lion-like man showed a warm smile.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess. Until you get tired of it, I'll be your knight. β
