Chapter 59
59 This and that 1The social season ended, a while ago, and each aristocrat began to return to their territory. Of course, me as well.
… with Iris-sama and the rest.
I couldn’t escape. No matter what the reason I came up with, it was impossible.
It’s an Impossible game from the beginning, I was cornered!
The carriage I ordered from earth did not make it in time, and it was decided that I will get on the Bozes family’s carriage. I wonder if this is a good horse-drawn carriage for aristocrats, there are cushions and all, but still, It cannot control the violent shaking and that makes my b.u.t.t hurt.
Three people from the orphanage, who are accompanying, are riding in a separate carriage with the servants. Well, you cannot ride on the same carriage as the Earl. Mainly because of an issue of [s.p.a.ce].
Is everyone okay? …Have you gotten used to it?
Unlike this luxurious carriage of the Earl’s family, the wagon over there is probably not good. Compared to that, if I complain, I might get criticized…….
Since I am anxious that I don’t know the state of my territory for ten days, so I got out a little after stopping for rest, and then return for a very short time.
But when I came back, [Mitsuha, that’s a long bathroom break ~. constipated?] …Sh, shut up!! (u, urusai wa! !)
The [Special increase of production] to promote the territory has been lifted.
Meanwhile, the mountain village chief who also partic.i.p.ated in the creation of game sets, had completely stopped everything and resume with the preparation for paper making and hunting.
In rural areas, fishing villages and towns, specially for women and children, it is a cash income that can help, and other entertainments are released and game sets are created. Well, you can do a lot.
But don’t overdo it!.
Those who don’t have a job and those who have disabilities may continue to create game pieces, but those who have a core business and those who have other things to do are prohibited from making!. The children and the elderly, was enforced with time limits. Otherwise, everyone will keep making it, until they collapse!!
They will say things like, [I wasn’t helpful to the Princess Shrine maiden, or this is the opportunity to make money].
I thought it was a problem, so I reduced the purchase price after the increase in production capacity. During the system, we decided that it was a special rate, as it was only an emergency.
Oh, it’s difficult to set a reasonable amount …. Even if you think that it is good and raise it to a higher salary, it will be useless if it comes to misunderstanding.
I also instructed the quality control, so as not to make something with poor quality. In addition, I gave an instruction to increase the number of luxury goods produced for the n.o.bility and the wealthy. At first I was a bit reckless because of the shortage, but from now on I will aim for the stable earnings without too much absurdity.
Before leaving the Kingdom’s capital, I reviewed the operating method of the radio with Sabine. Well, I did… somehow.
The existence of the radio, will be an important support to prevent Sabine-chan’s [Eh~, I came!] at my front door. I will be patient, while talking to you.Would be willing to endure in talk, to you.
Besides, regular contact is not for the purpose of Sabine-chan’s attention. Also, the purpose is to replace [Naruko] so that it can deal immediately when a crisis is approaching to the Kingdom like before, or something happened to Sabine-chan or the shop. (TN: {Naruko} wooden clappers, not the ninja in ero form.)
Now, With this, I don’t have to go there and check the kingdom’s status every-time.
I don’t have a problem with getting there, but it is not good to be seen too often.
Iris: 「…Are you?」
Eh?……
Iris: 「Hey, …Are you listening properly, Mitsuha!」
Uwa a~, Iris-sama is glaring at me… scary, Iris-sama is really scary ….
Water line 10 seconds, land road 10 days, thus reaching the Viscountess Yamano territory.
This is not Yamatai Kingdom?, is that so? (TN: Tomb Raider reboot)
Oh, by the way, [Himi-ko] and [Hime-miko] are kinda similar ….Ah, Forget about it, Forget about it!!
NO.. I am not going to dominate the country, nor have it planned out!
Actually, I have not arrived at the sanctuary, Iris-sama did not allow me to get off at the fork road.
Well~, that’s right ~. Even if I said that I’ll be walking home from there, there was no reason to give the permission, no really.
That’s why I stayed at the Bozes family estate. It’s been a while~.
Eh…, I better pull myself together, right? We’ve been together for 10 days! ..Right!
Eh…. Oth.e.l.lo?
I guess I had done enough to die at the inn! (宿で死ぬほどやったでしょうが！)
Until dawn, I would have been limping in a carriage til the next day!
Then you and me will be the servant! (ならば私と、って、あなた執事でしょうが！)
Please work, Stefan-san!
Mōu~, bringing a large amount of Oth.e.l.lo to the Bozes territory, will cause a sharp decrease to the production volume of my territory!
This isn’t a Tetris conspiracy theory, is it? (TN: )
It was three days after that that we finally got released and we were escorted back to my territory.
Oh right, I have to contact Sabine-chan!
If there is an accident it is not uncommon for the schedule to extend for several days, but that [there was an accident] itself, is a reason enough for worry.
Its not time for a regular contact, but maybe she’s waiting, so why not try calling her once?
Turn on the radio, check the frequency, adjust the matching, and so on.
Operating frequency is 3. 5 MHz band. At nighttime, this frequency which is called [Sanhan of the night], is also invincible during the day!
Mitsuha: [Checkmate King Seven, Checkmate King Seven, this is White Rook, Over]
Yes, its this.
King Seven, because she is the 7th in the royal family, Sabine-chan.
Rouhen-kun you are younger, but this one follows the way of ranking of the Lion family, with boys’ priority. ( ルーへン君の方が年下だけど、ここはライオン一家の序列の付け方に倣って、男の子優先で。)
[King-to-King] means the 2nd platoon of the K-Company. Perhaps, the battalion’s call sign is [Checkmate].
There are many people who remembers “White Rook” as “White Rock”, but that is a translation mistake. In the 5th season of the TV series, it was changed to [White Rook]. (TN: Sorry, I can’t find the “TV series”. )
Because the battalion is a [checkmate], it is expected that the call sign of the relevant troop is related to chess.
Sabine:『Oneesama, are you okay?』
Sabine-chan’s response, was finally coming in.
Hey, I was waiting forever ….Like A boy, thats bees been waiting at the seats.
Would you like to be a partner with for a while?
I tried to calm Sabine-chan, who is trying to keep talking forever, and then finally finished in about 30 minutes. From now on, it is a question of how long would it take for the regular contact until it’s terminated.
Oh, the radio-related stuff, along with the power generation system, I will take them all away if I need to disappear. Even if you can’t afford it, it’s a complete over-technology that will soon become unusable and then gets buried in history. The only thing to worry about is that it may cause severe stomach pain to the future archeologist.
(TN: I don’t know why does the j.a.panese people keeps referring to stomachache instead of headache.)
Now then, it’s time for the domestic cheat!
No, when I was in the Kingdom, I came back and gave a lot of orders, but after all that, I was worried that I would advanced important things while being pretending to be [in the kingdom at all times].. you know..
Well then, let’s proceed at once!
First of all, to Randy-san’s place.
Mitsuha: 「How’s it going?」
Randy: 「Ah, my lord …」
Randy-san is an acquaintance since I became a lord, so unlike my old friends back on earth, it’s kinda difficult when he talks to me ….
Mitsuha: 「What is the production status?」
Randy: 「Yes, I tried to make fishing gear repeatedly, but I think it’s okay. However, the bicycle … ….」
Yes, it’s hard wasn’t it.
For the time being, I think that I will get a prototype of a simple structure that doesn’t have a transmission, but I will have to work a little harder with parts strength and accurate a.s.sembly….
For the time being, I taught about carbon content and kindling to make high-quality steel….
Since the front wheels are huge, it is not necessary to go through the dangerous parts that is difficult to get on, so from the beginning you are familiar with the types of tires, and the tires are wrapped around with something made of iron.
Tube type is still way ahead. At first, I thought that it would be wrapped in fur but it’s inefficient, but if a slime could be used, instead of rubber …
The prototype is aiming to run with the chain, because there is no progress by kicking the ground at this point. But in 1879 when the mechanism to turn the rear wheels with a chain was invented, the size of the front wheels and the rear wheels were the same, the original ancestry of the bicycle was invented in 1885, so now at our current level, is it difficult reach that technology?….
Well~, let’s take it easy.
I think it would be more challenging for Randy-san to continue his research with a high goal, because it would be boring to just produce the daily necessities.
Oh, I forgot.
I have to introduce these three people standing behind me.
Mitsuha: 「By the way, Randy-san, these children are the ones I scouted at the Kingdom’s capital. Loyuk-kun 11 years old, Manon-chan, 10 years old, and Loyuk-kun’s sister Nelly-chan, 9 years old. Randy-san’s disciples are only Loyuk-kun and Manon-chan… Nelly-chan will be an apprentice cook. I will come here from time to time, so I’d like to recommend them together. Please take care of them. 」
「「「Please, take care of us！」」」 (“`Yoroshikuonegaishimasu!”’)
Randy: 「A ? a~a.. yeah…」
「「「Please, take care of us！」」」 (“`Yoroshikuonegaishimasu!”’)
Randy: 「A ? a~a.. yeah…」
Three voices were heard, and Randy answered, though he was somewhat staggered.
Well, he was not good at communicating, I thought that he do not agree with other people, but I wonder if he’s not good with children.
Everyone saw the fishing gear made by Randy.
Yeah, fishing hooks, are properly attached to the line and sinker, and there seems to be enough strength.
The Harpoon and [Yasu], are also OK. ( 銛やヤスもＯＫ。)
However, I want to add rubber to Yasu. If you release it with the force of rubber attached to the rear end of the handle, it is convenient because it can surprise the prey because there is no spare movement of the arm.
…… Slime? Do you use slime instead of rubber?
Well, it will increase the chance….
Loyuk-kun and Manon-chan, what’s with the sparkling eyes?
Did that get you excited?
Did you come up with something?
What? Great invention?
… Ah, you just imagined eating some delicious fish?… Did you~?.
And by the way, its not that easy to come up with a groundbreaking idea, you know.
They said that they will come from tomorrow on-wards, and left the workshop.
3 people were allowed to live with the servants’ quarters of the Viscount house, and except for Nelly-chan whom had been told to rest, the other staffs are working.
It’s hard to separate the siblings, and I don’t think Randy-san has the ability to support the children’s daily life with only technical guidance.
If something goes wrong, I guess they will support the children….
Anyway, I’m not going to let Randy-san take care of the kids alone.
I will take care of it properly.
However, the candidates for [Colette-chan and friends] or something like that, is going to increase….
And then… The day will come, when all the genius children, all over the kingdom were recruited [hijacked] by the Viscountess… Someday indeed…
