At the morning of my departure.
I grab my oversized bag, My mother send me off as I left the house.
Then, I went to the magic laboratory in the capital of Maldea.
Apparently the warp room is in the third lab.
When I opened the door at the far end of the second floor. There is a woman wearing a white coat standing in the room.
"Are you Lina Marderita? I never thought that someone would be willing to go to that barbaric planet. And you're doing it all by yourself. Are you sane?"
She said as if she were concerned about my well-being.
"Yes. Of course I am sane. I'm going to negotiate with the people of Earth now. I'm sure a bright future awaits us all."
When I straightforwardly stated it to her, she nodded reluctantly and took out a wrist watch device shaped.
"I see. Well, you have to be careful. They seem to be a barbaric race that has been at war for a long time. With this wrist-type device, you can return from Earth to this warp room. However, the magic power contained in this device is only enough for one trip. There is no guarantee of failure, so don't do anything that might break it. See the instructions on the device for how to use it."
"Thank you very much."
I take the device and wear it around my arm.
Then I enter the warp room.
"I'm not sure where it's heading. The destination is not clear to me, but it is Washington D.C. in the North American continent. Well, this interstellar warp can make a little deviations, but you can rest assured that you won't be buried alive."
A little deviation? I heard some disturbing words, but I hope I' ll be okay.
"Well then, I wish you good luck on your adventurous mission."
The white-coated researcher quickly activates the magic device in front of her while I'm pondering the interstellar warp problem.
My vision glows white, and the next thing that I know, my body is disappearing from Maldea.
The next moment. I was standing on the grassy area.
I looked around and saw a concrete road stretching out in front of me.
I feel the atmosphere is different from Maldea.
Where is this?
I've specified Washington D.C., so I'm sure it's around there.
The roads are wide and the greenery is magnificent.
I feel that the land is much wider than in Japan, and the buildings are sparsely built, making it incredibly spacious.
It looks like something out of a Hollywood movie.
However, I'm not sure how accurately I was able to transfer to the correct location.
The only thing I told the US government was that I would be warping into Washington D.C. between 1:00 and 6:00 p.m. US time today.
My appearance is that of a short girl with long pink hair and long, elf-like ears.
(TLN: Elf like alien!!!)
Although it looks extremely close to a human, it would be noticeable and easy to recognize.
We also have a secretwords to match with the other party.
If that doesn't work, I just need to prove it with some magical techniques.
So, from here on we have to search for each other.
I'm sure the US government is desperately looking for the first alien visitor in history.
However, I don't want to stand out badly.
I was told that I could be targeted by spies from some other country.
That's why I can' t let them know I'm an alien until I meet US government official.
I want to travel in a civilian disguise and somehow make contact with the US government.
I put on a hat, trying to cover my ears. I put the bag on my back.
In my bag, I have some useful magical items that Earthling doesn't have.
The bag has a shrinking spell, so it can hold about 100 times more stuff than it actually does.
With Maldea magical technology, it would be possible for me personally to transport the goods even on a commercial level.
Now, should I wait here or should I move?
As I contemplated the idea, I heard a voice from behind me.
「Hey」 <<(TLN: In english)
I turns back and sees a blond man standing in front of the building.
"Hey, what are you doing in my yard?"
He asks me that in English.
This is bad. I guess I was standing on that man property. I see a shiny gun on his waist belt.
"Um, I'm sorry!"
I left the property as if escaping and started walking down the street.
Haa~ I got a little startled and couldn't even listen to what he was saying.
But this is America, after all. An ordinary man is holding a gun.
Well, first I have to locate where am I.
I need to ask someone or find a map to see where I am.
I start walking along the road.
After walking for a while, I found what looked like a sign indicating a road map.
"Is this place called Altoona? Pennsylvania?"
Apparently, I ended up warping to a rather wrong place.
As I recall, Pennsylvania is close to Washington D.C.
However, this would make it difficult for government officials to find me.
Well, if I can just pinpoint my location. They might be able to do something.
According to the map, there is a school and library nearby.
If there are others people out there, I might be able to ask them how to get to D.C.
I'm fifteen years old, perhaps it would be more natural to ask a student around my age.
Worst case scenario, I'll ask them to tell me where the police station is.
I have a feeling that Mr. Police will be able to take care of me.
I decided to head to the school's location first.
After a short walk, I see a large building and a large school ground.
It appeared to be just after schooltime, and there were students playing sports on the large school ground.
Beside the large school ground. A young boy was sitting alone in a wheelchair
There is no one else in the area, and it seems easy to talk to him.
I approached him and decided to talk to him.
"Hello. Are you a student here?"
"Huh?, that's right."
The boy nodded. Somehow, He looks a little sad.
"Are you injured?"
"Yeah. I had a foot injury during a game. The doctor said I shouldn't play football anymore."
"..., I see."
Speaking of football in this country, it is American football.
Because, the students are practicing scrumming right in the center of the field. (TLN: Scrimmage)
I don't know the details, but it's a fierce sport.
Even for students player, it is possible to get injured and never be able to play sports again.
"All right, I'll give you something nice if you can answer my question."
I smile as I told him, and he looked at me.
"What is it? I'm not busy, I'll answer what I know."
"Have you ever been around the White House?"
"Yeah, I have."
"Do you know how to get there?"
"If you go to the station on the north side, there's a train that goes to the District of Columbia. It'll take a while, though."
The boy pointed at the direction of the station.
After all, moving around seems to require a certain amount of funds.
But I don't have any dollars. I guess I have to go to the police.
"I see. Then do you know where the police office is?"
"Yes. Just go straight down that road and you'll find it."
"Thank you. I'll give you this as a thank you."
I pulled out three transparent stones from my bag, placed them on the student's bandaged shins, and applied magic to them.
Then the stone began to sparkling.
The light was sucked into the boy's legs.
"What's that? Oh, my leg…"
As the boy touch his leg, the stone melted and disappeared.
Then he stood up vigorously from his wheelchair.
"I can stand. I can move my legs. What the hell is going on?"
The boy looks very surprised and turns his body around, rolling his eyes.
I hurriedly stopped him with my hand.
"Oh, you shouldn't move so suddenly. I'm just boosting your recovery."
"Recovery?
"Yes, you should rest for a while and play football again when you are fully healed. Just be careful of injuries from now on."
I told him so, and gave him a warning.
And I decided to leave right away.
I've done something a little out of the ordinary and magical, and I need to get out of this place before I stand out.
Well, I guess it's okay if one boy makes a lot of noise.
I couldn't stand to see a boy around my age not be able to do what he wanted to do.
"Hey, thank you!"
From behind me, the boy raises his hand with smile on his face.
"Well, see you later"
I waved and walked away.
Well, let's let the policemen take care of me now.
As I walked straight down the street, I saw a sign that said Police.
"Um, excuse me."
I called inside, and a woman who looked like a policewoman was staring down at me.
"What is it?"
"I have to go to Washington D.C., but I don't have any money."
"What are you doing there? What's your name? Where are you from? Where do you live?"
I felt like I am being interrogated. Well, I' m sure my appearance and my words looks suspicious.
However, Her question is including a secret words that we had agreed on with the Americans. So, I decided to answer with my own secret words.
"My name is Lina Malderita. I'm from distant place, Maldea."
「WHAT!?」
An older man who had been watching behind her stood up in response to the password.
