4 "First month's salary"
The kamidake ran some tests for the day and went back to port where everyone was paid their first month's salary.
Alan and his people checked theirs and were amazed at how much they made until they saw how much was taken out to pay their debts.
"What's this? we barely have anything left!"
"ow! what a nostalgic figure ... its the same time amount as my first ever paycheck."
The amount they had left equated to little more then a child's pocket money
Cohen and barry brushed it off when they realized that their debt would be paid
off in a few years with what they were making.
But Alan persuaded them to call the person in charge of their pay rate.
"No, there's nothing I can do! Your salary will remain the same until your
debt is paid off. "
"Pleaaase!"
"Why don't you try gambling or investing your money?"
"hmmm maybe... can you lend us the money for that?"
"NO! and if you call me again I'll have you thrown in prison."
"Prison!? We haven't done anything wrong!"
"You idiots! This communication itself is illegal. you guys are on a communication blacklist."
"Don't we have a right to get paid?"
" your Debt being paid off is your payment. If you want more work harder and you'll get bonuses for your captures. don't call again goodbye."
He hung up
"Hey! hey!" they tried calling back but there was no answer
NB floated up to them
"Hey there 3 idiot trio-oniisama, I have an idea! I want to get paid too."
"Who are you calling a three idiot trio! The only idiot here is you if you think your getting paid. You're equipment not crew!"
but NB convinced them that if they could get seina to list NB as a crew
member and get him paid then they wouldn't be the lowest ranked crew anymore
and they would have to get a raise.
they ran to ask seina they but they found Hakuren and kiriko
instead, they were talking to the commander of a row of about 10 soldiers.
------------
" Alan, Barry, Cohen! your being temporarily assigned to the army!
Come with me "The commander went to kiriko and saluted
"Ms. Misaki, It's an honor to meet the demon instructor in person... I will be borrowing these three if you don't mind."
"Good luck!"
-----------------------------------------------------
"Oh, Kiriko. what took you so long?" Amane asked Kiriko when she came to the bridge.
"I sent those three idiots off to be re-educated ... while we do maintenance. "
"It's about time. those three are as big of fools as seiryo... oh... I hear the army guys call you the demon instructor now."Amane smiled. Kiriko turned pale.
"Whatever you do don't let seina hear that!" Kiriko said with a scary look on
her face.
"Fine... Fine... I won't tell the captain... but there's no need to keep it confidential with me, where on a mission even more confidential then what happened on the Rinamiku... unless you just don't want him to remember you covered in blood."
Amane smiled as she poked Kiriko's buttons.
"uwaaaaaa!"
Kiriko had long tried to keep seina from seeing that side of her, but seina had accepted it, since then though his dynamic with kiriko had been less like younger brother and more that of a normal man. Not that seeing her like that was all that lead to that. Seina was her superior now after all, but somehow her fear of him finding out had changed into embarrassment because he knew and it changed how she interacted with him.
(How cute,) Amane had the urge to hug her, Kiriko looked like she was about cry.
Not noticing the conflict between the two, Seina was busy in the captain's seat watching the monitor, looking at the details of his salary.
(Wow, my salary really is huge ... ...)
The salary paid to Seina was exactly three times that of Alan's. and like kenneth had mentioned the other day he had various allowances that the amount didn't count towards, but Seina was just impressed that this was the first salary he had earned by himself.
"Kiriko-san, can I consult you about something for a bit?"
"What is it, captain?" Kiriko wiped away the tears of the corner of the eye and pretended to be calm.
"I got my salary today ..."
"Whoa, are you going to drink to celebrate?"
"Amane! The Captain is a minor still!"
"Well then let's throw a dinner party"
"Oh, That sounds good," Hakuren who had been a little ways away came into the conversation circle.
"No, We will be doing none of that. I think you should send the excess to your parents' home ... ... would you like me to tell you what the standard monthly living expense is?" Amane and Hakuren who were a bit ashamed from that quieted down.
"... oh uhm... Kiriko, are Seina's family poor?" Gyokuren asked
"It makes sense if you consider Seina's abilities." Karen said
as they jumped into the conversation
Hakuren by the way had frozen up in a thought cycle.
-------- as usual no one even notices suiren exists / isn't saying anything ------
"And when we take into account that you live in Amane-sama's house, and deduct living expenses costs ..."
"Hey now. I think Seina shouldn't do that. Let's take the cost of living expenses and allocate them in case of an emergency."
"Oh, good idea Gyokuren."
"Oh, what about entertainment expenses!"
"Well Seina doesn't really have very many expensive hobbies... ..."
"If we give him a budget maybe he can take us out on dates."
"Seina is still a student, and is under jurisdiction of Airi-sama, Mikami-sama, Mitoto-sama, the only way a date will be allowed is if he is accompanied by those three people."
"That sound's worse then if he was just left to go on his own... what if it were just a trip with a close personal friend?"
"What will he do do for clothes?"
"Chirping sparrow"
" ... .... "
"Chirping sparrow" is a line of clothes that transform and change color from a program's input. seina had two sets.
" What about Medical expenses"
"Yeah can't forget those Kiriko"
"I am grateful to everyone for there concern but ..."Seina said.
"Captain ...... No, Seina-chan. You don't have to worry about sending money if you don't want to. Business is going smoothly for them."
"I heard that from a few people actually ....I assumed as much it was always bustling until I came nearby ... ...."Seina hadn't contacted home for a while.
Once he had called his mother though... but she rushed through it and hung up after telling him not to call for a while. He hadn't heard from them since then.
"Besides, we're arranging to send part of your rewards and allowances to them but you should at least set aside everything besides what you would normally need to have for a month... just in case."
"Okay, I understand." At that time Seina remembered that his salary was three times that of Kenneths.
(Well, I guess that's the amount I need ...)
Kiriko whispered to seina so no one else could hear.
"Tennyo is waiting for you as usual, please hurry, captain."
"Oh, yes! right away sorry."
Seina hurried and had his chair take him downstairs.
-----
"Wow you almost made it sound like Seina would actually need to save money."
"I don't want to inform the Captain ...... No, I do not want to inform Seina about the amount of his real salary."
"Oh why? Is seina the wasteful type?"
"He's been that way since he was child ... ... If he knew the kind of money he had he would blow through it in an instant, do you know how much Seina's rewards and benefits are?"
"... ... Is it really that much?"
"Well, we already makes 3 times the minimum wage...so how much is it?!"
"Oh, I see, wow now that I think of it he must be loaded, ha ha ha."
Amane said and the rest of them calculated quickly the amount in their heads and nodded as if they were convinced.
By the way, Hakuren's thought loop had been stopped by Karen before this by smacking her on the head as usual.
------ that's how it's worded in the book----
-------------------
After returning to the research base, Seina received his usual physical examination before he heard from Tennyo about the renovation of Kamidake.
"Is the repair of the Kamidake going well?"
"Yes, and the amount of test data we've accumulated so far is quite considerable, we have found a variety of problems, we want to test some different equipment add-on's soon as well."
"Different equipment... Like what?"
"The Kamidake is made to be customized according to the situation it's going to be used for. Currently the ship is just the basic model without any additional equipment. But even with the customization, it looks almost the same, doesn't it?" Tennyo said with a quick glance to Erma. But Erma did not stop her work and remained silent.
"Hey, Erma"
"............"
"Erma! Are you listening?"
Tennyo raised her voice to Erma, who had a slightly different atmosphere to her than usual that day.
"Oh sorry... What were you saying just now?"
"Never mind...There will be extensive renovations done to the Kamidake this time, so it won't be able to be flown for about a week, you and Erma should go take a vacation now."
"If it's alright I'd like to stay and help you with the Kamidake's renovations ... ...."
"There's no need. I'll be fine doing it on my own.. besides you need to take a break. You've seemed a bit tired the past few days ... ..."Tennyo gently placed her hand on Erma's shoulder.
"No, that's uhm..."
"Just do it! I got an order from Airi, you are being ordered to take a break and rest."
"Airi said that?"
"Well not exactly, the secretary-general's accounting division did some looking into your work hours lately and we got a complaints from the Labor Standards Inspection Division, so we've been ordered to give you a break... don't worry you're still getting paid and we've issued you a bonus to have fun with so feel free to splurge."
"……OK" Erma nodded a small nod. It was as if she didn't want to take the day off.
-----
Returning to the dormitory, Seina immediately launched the monitor and searched the net. Seina was looking for gifts for women and had a page with accessories opened.
"I should use part of the rest of my salary to give the people who helped me so far a gift ..."
"Master, what are you doing, are you interested in buying something?" NB said from behind him
"Oh NB, I didn't see you there!"
"... ............ oh these are for women...are you buying these as gifts? Would you like my advice on what to buy?"
"... ............Well I just got my first paycheck so I want to give something to those who took care of me up until now ..."
"So, who will you be giving these gifts to?"
"My family seem's to be doing well enough that I don't think it will be necessary ... hmm so Next is Tenchi's house hold... .... "
"What are you thinking about getting them?"
" well... let's see there's Sasami-chan and Ayeka-san ............ and well my degree of familiarity with all the people in his house is totally different from my familiarity with him... so I don't know....... I don't even now most of them that well... It's a hard decision...."
"Tenchi is a childhood friend, Isn't he? Why not just give him one and everyone else a big gift that everyone can use? "
"Well ... that could work, and maybe with Kai too ... ... but I wan't to give Tsukiko a proper gift too..."
"Don't forget kiriko."
"Yeah ... but I want to get her something special ............ hmm what about Uncle Dai?"
Kai's father, Dai didn't live with Tsukiko... They were't married or living together. Sometimes he came to see Kai, and when he came to Tsukiko's house things got rough, he had few memories of him. He was always interested in his son Kai and kiriko, but he showed little interest in other people.
"And then there's the other People in Masaki village ... ...."
"You can also just give them a small gift and have tsukiko give it to them."
"Well,I suppose you're right ...... then there's Amane, Elma, Hakuren-san, too."
"You're forgetting someone ..."
"Oh and Ms. Seto and Minaho too ... ..."
"Wow, a gift for the Devil princess of Jurai .... are you planning on spending that much?"
"well she is my benefactor without her i wouldn't be in space. So I should do something..."
"Hmm ... ... and what's next?"
"Oh yeah ............"
"What about you're best benefactor!"
"The best benefactor? ............ Oh no, I forgot Tennyo!"
"ACK!"
-----------------------------------------
"HOW! HOW is Such an insignificant girl like her The BEST!"
Airi cried out loudly to her NB hacking terminal in the Chairman's Office. Mikami who seemed curious about the situation gently approached her from behind.
"If any thing I am! and I'm Beautiful and have sex appeal."
"You?! A beautiful adult with sex appeal?!"
Airi made an irritated face close to the monitor on which Seina appeared.
"Oh, that's right! I have to give one to Principal Mikami"
"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Aww how thoughtful."Mikami said to Airi who fell down on top of her desk.
----
"What was that about NB? "
" Oh nothing..."
"You're a weird fellow, are you broken?"
"No I'm fine... are you sure you're not forgetting someone... someone young and pretty?"
"I already got Mikami... who else could it be."
-----------------
"...... Think harder!" Airi, took control of NB, and shouted!
"hm... no that's everyone... hm... NB can you show the list to me?"
A monitor launched with the names.
"Hmm a gift for Tenchi's house, Kai and Uncle Dai ...... Aunt Tsukiko and Kiriko, Amane, Erma, Hakuren Ms. Gyokuren, Karen,... oh Ms. Suiren ......! "
------
"God damn it! Why can you remember that thin shadowed woman and not me... ...."Airi yelled. it carried over to the NB.
-------
"Huh? NB do you want a gift too? "
"Check the list again!"
"What.. why are you mad?"
............ Er, Seto-sama, Minaho, Tennyo. principal Mikami. "
"Uhuhuh ... ... I hope he get's me something nice that i can show off." Mikami smiled at Airi to boast.
"Gaaaah no that's not it either!"
"............ Oh! I forgot Mitoto! "
----------
"Come on! "
--------
"Oh and Mr. Onnainin and Minami too.
"Are you sure they want these kinds of accessories?"
"I'm not limited to just getting accessories NB! "
"Oh! Good... Then who's next!"
" You're acting Really weird today maybe I should do this on my own... "
"Oh am I? I'm fine...I don't know what your talking about ... ... ... ...."
"Are you sure NB?"
"Yes of course ... ... ............... By the way you forgot Airi-san! You should get her something extra nice for an woman as extra beautiful as her don't you think!"
NB nudged Seina.
Seina looked at the NB in a puzzled manner.
"... she sure did program you weirdly..."
" I'm only stating the facts objectively."
"I admit she's beautiful but her personality ruins it ............ I know she's Minaho's mother... but Minaho is definitely more like her father."
"What! What do you mean?!"
"Tenchi-senpai's grandfather is very plain and calm, and a gentle person, Aunt Kiyone and Tennyo were both gentle and kind people too......"
------------
"GOD DAMN IT! DID HE JUST SAY Both Kiyone and Tennyo are better than me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!" Airi brought her face close to the monitor and desperately defended herself.
"You Bastard!Don't say bad things about people! Tennyo isn't that great! Have you ever even met Kiyone? She was awful! ............ Way worse then Airi ...... "
"Wow she sure put some dubious information in you. Makes sense...she is a very troubled person. Next time I talk to Erma I'll have her delete it. "
-------------
─── Giggle giggle.
Airi looked like she was about to explode. Mikami had gathered Airi's secretaries behind her to watch and they were struggling to hold in their laughter. --------
"sure... but certainly you must be indebted to her a lot you should give her presents too."
"Huh? Why?" NB glanced hard to Seina gladly.
"If you don't, you never know what she might do." Nb said
Seina laughed
"I suppose your right... she's like the witch in sleeping beauty... she would try and cast a plague on all of us just for not including her."
"T-That is a terrible thing to say about miss Airi!"
"Hmmm ~ ~ ~ ... ... I guess your right ... ...." Seina thought about what kind of response Airi would have.
------------
"...... Airi is more like a witch who'd force you to invite her to your birthday party and then she would eat all the food and leaving scraps everywhere and she would drink the liquor and spike all the punch and then throw a tantrum, making everyone irritated... and then she would pass out on the floor drunk ha ha ha..."
To Seina 's way too precise analogy, the secretaries behind Airi had fallen on the floor laughing.
"Wha, what! How am I ......! I can't believe he said such a thing ............"
Unfortunately Airi was not confident enough to deny it.
-----------------------------
"... I'm not even sure I want him to get me anything any more."
Airi murmured and slumped down in her chair.
---------------
"But what should i give to Airi?"
"Give her this!" An image of a ring with glowing jewelry appeared on the screen. The price displayed there was an amount for which a large house could be built.
"It would take decades to finish paying that off, I'm going to search for myself!"
Seina turned away from NB and began investigating.
NB suddenly became silent and gazed at the back of Seina's head for a while
"Sorry! I forgot something important,Master. Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master.Master."
"Are you malfunctioning?"
"I need something when you go shopping, please buy these"
"... ... What is this?!"
Seina turned pale reading the list of things NB displayed. There were only a few items displayed there, they were also very expensive.... that wasn't the issue though..."
"Why do I have to buy something like that!"
"It's a gift for kiriko!Just DO IT! HERE I'LL BUY IT FOR YOU! JUST DO IT OR ELSE!"
"What is wrong with you! ... ... ... ... ... Why is my equipment threatening me? I don't get this crazy space technology ..."
"It will impress the girls ... ... ... They'll be relieved, I've already transferred the money, Go pick it up!"
"Where did you get that kind of money! How? You didn't do anything strange did you?"
"It can't be refunded, so what are you going to do?"
"……Fine..."
"Good reply, I'm sure it will make them very happy."
"Hmm now what am I doing to buy the rest of them... my remaining budget is so small ..."
"Well, facing challenges is just one of the pleasures of life .... Ha ha ha ............"
Suddenly the laugh of NB ceased and it became silent.
"What's wrong?"
"...... Hello Mr.Master ... ... May I help you with something ...?"
NB suddenly changed it's personality and now had a delicate tone.
"Master have you found something to buy yet ...?"
"... .... uhm... did you forget?"
"I have been feeling off today... maybe you should run maintenance on me."
"Seina, it's about time for dinner." kiriko called from a monitor
"Oh, right... I'm on my way now." he saved the list and stood up.
--------
Seina descended to the first floor of the dormitory by an elevator and met up with with Kiriko who was waiting at the entrance in front of him.
The first floor was also a small leisure facility with a restaurant, a large public bath, fitness and entertainment facilities, and it was a place used by ordinary citizens as well as members who stayed at the GP lodgings. As a result, many people should have been ooing and awwing at the prominently featured Kiriko but despite there being a lot of people they diverted their eyes from Kiriko and remained quiet.
"Oh Hi there! Oh is that you Seina!"
Airi said after waltzing in and shaking hands with a coworker who was resting nearby.
"Thank you for waiting for me ......"
"Well then.... let's go" Airi grabbed seina and made a dash to the dining room.
"A, Airi!"
"Airi, you don't have to hurry!"
"I'm hungry!" Airi sat seina down and began to hand out Giant Viking style dishes.There were dozens of them.
"Wow ..." Seina gazed at the situation quietly the dishes were ordered beautifully and arranged so that the tastes didn't mix poorly.
"Just what I would expect from the owner of Nasshisu" Kiriko said
Airi prepared dishes and drinks in a short matter of time and walked toward the terrace.
"In Here!Hurry up!" Airi rushed to Seina and started putting dishes out.
The terrace was still sparse and was quite empty.
As soon as Airi sat down,it was time eat.
"Hmm ... ... This is so good"
"So..... Seina, what are you planning to buy with your first month's salary?"
Airi asked
"ehh!!"
"Well,uhm ............ I set aside money for my Living expenses and the rest is just savings."
"Yeah yeah ~ ~ ~ seriously though. Payday! Payday !Payday! You have to treat yourself right what are you getting?"
"My reward for myself is getting a salary, and the luxury is my life since I came to the academy ..."
"Good seina-chan... You should save your money."
"Huh! Good? a man mustn't worry about wasting money, the more you use the money, the more it will come in!"
"Seina, don't listen to the lies coming from that demon's mouth."
"Who are you calling a demon, little girl!?"
"Saving money is just common sense. Only a demon would say other wise!"
Kiriko said, most people there nodded. But Gyokuren was closing her eyes and drinking tea. Airi noticed.
"Gyokuren-chan, You're an adult like me... Gyokuren-chan, you know." Airi said
"I do not know if Airi's words are correct, but ...."
"Yes..... Yes...?"
"If Seina is Financially ruined, I will provide for him and feed him."
"Eh"
Seina turned red and looked at Gyokuren who was serious.
"Damn..."
"Wow, she just used me to flirt with you! Seina, be careful! That girl is the real devil!"
Airi shoved dessert in her face and washed it down with tea. Airi's eyes had tears spreading down them, probably because she was so frustrated that the conversation hadn't gone her way.
"God damn it ~~~!"
Airi ate the rest of the deserts and grabbed some plates and went home.... where she began to eat those dishes with great momentum.
-------
"Well then.... hey seina did you hear about Seiryo?" Amane said with a loud voice to break the awkwardness of what just happened.
".... no"
"I totally forgot about him." kiriko said
"He's going to be a prisoner forever because of how high the pirates made his ransom!"
"Aren't the Tennan's rich?"
"His father is notoriously cheap! They cut him off the second he tried to haggle down the ransomm. ahahahaha!"
"I hope he gets back soon."
"Don't waste your time worrying about him! I'm sure he will make a fine Space pirate I look forward to arresting him with the Kamidake."
"No way that would ever happen..." Kiriko laughed...
Erma just stared at Seina with a sad expression.
-------
Seiryo was in the prison of the daruma Guild's headquarters the big Daruma. in the block under the jurisdiction of Tarrant · Shank, the place where the hostages that he kidnapped were held.
Seiryo was in the prison of the daruma Guild's headquarters the big Daruma. in the block under the jurisdiction of Tarrant · Shank, the place where the hostages that he kidnapped were held.
"I can't believe I'm being held in such a dump..."
Seiryo shouldn't have known where he was... but because of his nano machines, which were able to scan the area, he knew exactly where he was...
They hadn't deactivated his nanomachines because they were the latest tech and didn't have scanners to detect them. It would have been easy for him to escape.
But Seiryo was stupid.
"... When will I be released?" But he didn't think to escape he just thought of how bored he was.
"I bet the ransom for me is enormous, ha ha ha ... ... Hey ... Where did she go!"
Seiryo noticed that the woman in the solitary cell across from him was suddenly gone.
"How! Was she safely released? "
Most of the cells that surrounded Seiryo were filled with hostages for ransom purposes. And they were released once negotiations were over. There were a few dozen people.
"What? ………What!?"
At that time, one of his nanoprobes found a cleverly hidden block in that cell. And in the room behind the block, It discovered many male and female carcasses which had been brutally maimed.
" What is that all about !? " Seiryo frowned. He nearly puked.
"What, is this !?" As his nano probe ran away from that room, It moved through the block and found a lavishly decorated room, obviously different from the other rooms, with a young man and his adjutant.
"That's Tarrant · Shank! " Tarrant had finished taking a shower, and was lying on the sofa with his waist wrapped with a bath towel. casts and seals for body regeneration were affixed all over his body.
"Mr. Tarrant, the adjustment of the replacement Daedalus Core to the new hull has been completed."
"Good... what's the status of getting rid of that phantom* from our computer systems?"
"Thanks to Huo balta's team, we've successfully cleared it out from 60% of our systems."
"Uhuhuhu good... as soon as the phantom extermination has been completed, let me know."
"Yes sir!"
"How about Erma?"
"She hasn't made her move yet the Kamidake is stuck at the Academy for now, she will probably do it tomorrow ..."
----*by phantom he means Miki---
----*by phantom he means Miki---
----------
"You look good,"
"Hmm?"It was Komachi 's voice that pushed Seiryo' s consciousness back.
"What are you doing ... I feel sick, don't talk to me."
"Tell that to your father."
"I can't believe he's left me to rot here."
Komachi put up a secret wall. This was a block under the jurisdiction of Tarrant, but Seiryo hacked it and took it under control. They had it installed for having conversations with prisoners they didn't want overheard by others.
"Tarrant, is in a room behind one of the cells... he uses it to drag people in and .... ugh it's disgusting... .. ... I don't want to remember."
"A camouflaged room ... Wait a moment! Where are you?"
"I have no idea!"
"Are you with the rest of Tarrant's hostages?"
"I think so I was talking to one of them when they disappeared... That's how i found it.... hahahaha."
(Why didn't he find it with his nanomachines? They should have found that room when they did their survey ... ... But he didn't even notice... Why is he bragging about being an idiot?) Komachi thought.
" Seiryo ... ... do you know where this place is?"
"I am not interested in that."
"what?"
"I don't care. It doesn't matter ... I'll be scolded if I interfere with my father's negotiations."
"Their's no reason to for them to let him haggle down the ransom for you ... ...."
"Ha ha ha! Buy goods as cheap as possible, that is the golden rule of business."
(So he doesn't realize he is on the big Daruma... ... but his story gives me an idea.) Komachi ran to the bridge.
--
"Did you find it?" Komachi was asked as she rushed onto the bridge .
"Yes, there is a camouflaged room after all, It was well hidden."
"... Is that so ... Then what he said was true." Komachi's felt a complicated feeling about that.
(What he said was true ... ... Then there is no room for doubt about his abilities, but he didn't know he was on the big Daruma... No, he just wasn't interested in knowing... or in finding that hidden place initially, but he found it once he did... ............ I see why he got as far as he did in the GP now.)
Then Komachi thought about Seiryo's past behavior and his father who was trying to haggle his son's ransom.
"... ... ... ... Maybe he's just stupid?" she said out loud by an operator
"Komachi-sama, ... .... The hostage that was gone a while ago is back."
"What!"Komachi approached the surveillance monitor.
"I guess their ransom must have been paid ... ...."
"In that case they'll be returned to their family soon."
"Is that so ............ hmmm! Do you know where the hostages are?"
"...... Everyone is in this block."
"Everyone? what a coincidence ... ... ... ... No, it can't be that!"
"What ? Did you realize something?"
Instead of answering the operator, Komachi thought.
(He must have that room so he can torture and kill hostages and bring them back over and over again while they wait on the ransom, anything done to someone from the academy can be excused.... but ............ he built an unauthorized facility in the Big Daruma ... ...)
Even if they didn't manage to get Ryoko's crew's family members away it was something that could deprive Tarrant of power and launch an investigation against him.
(But he's using this to make sure Yamada is assassinated. They're not going to do anything.)
She knew the guild would let tarrant slide on this unless he was taking direct actions against the guild.
"Let's keep on looking at things for a while, please continue to investigate"
