Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

“T-th-that’s okay! I will thoroughly prepare! Set up the magic circle, wait for the stars to align, prepare magic stones, and siphon the magics from the ground!! Eloim Essaim, desu!! It’s a body-friendly spell that activates by taking the world’s magical power through preparations rather than my own vitality!! Of course, I will also chant the Diacute first!!!” (Mitsuha) (Note: Puyo puyo reference)

I desperately persuaded them!

And I brought them to a state where they could somehow hear the story!

I worked hard you know!!

“…so that’s why, if I prepared enough in advance, spend a reasonable amount of money to gather magic stones, spell charms, and other artifacts, and chose the day when the stars are aligned, I will completely recover just by resting in bed all day, there would be no adverse effects related to vitality or permanent damages…” (Mitsuha)

Count-sama and Iris-sama managed to calm down after listening my dubious explanation .

“…are you telling the truth…” (Count-sama)

“…you aren’t telling lies, are you…” (Iris-sama)

Uwaaah, they have no trust in me… tte, well, I guess it can’t be helped .

I guess that’s because they believe that I will spare no effort if it’s for the country and the people, even if I have to pay the cost with my life .

Actually, I’m not that admirable of a child . If anything, I’m more like [Gorgeous Irene] or [Shibamura Mai] type of girl .

I will take any measure to achieve my goal, no matter what . To protect little girls, I will not hesitate to cut the bandit’s life . …ah, that one is normal, everyone would’ve done that . That’s obvious!

Well, anyway, I have to feign innocence here…

“Yes, of course! I will prepare everything with a single swoop! And be very careful not to damage the coast!” (Mitsuha)

Yeah, dropping a huge ma.s.ses into the ocean near the sh.o.r.e will undoubtedly create a huge waves . No matter how shallow the area I chose, it’s not certain that it will not create waves at all .

Well, I’ll take proper measures to avoid it .

And I still have one thing to ask to Count-sama and Iris-sama .

“And there’s one more thing, I would like to ask Beatrice-chan to be the head of the company that will be established there…” (Mitsuha)

“Eh?”

“Eeeh?”

“ “Eeeeeehhh!!??” “

Count-sama and Iris-sama shouting in surprise with their eyes wide open .

…yeah, I guess it’s normal that they’re surprised…

Of course there’s a reason that I decided to ask Beatrice-chan for this role . …actually there are many reasons .

First of all, I’m busy all the time and would not have the time for it .

It should be a person of high-rank, so that it would be difficult for either the n.o.bles or merchants to show overbearing att.i.tudes, or to set up bribes, dirty trick, honey trap, etc .

It should be an intelligent person .

It should be a person who would never betray me and Bozes family .

… and [It should be Beatrice-chan] .

That’s all .

Well, only the last reason is actually enough .

The eldest son, Alexis-sama, became a viscount and received the territory next to mine . And the second son, Theodore, will be succeeding the Bozes Count house, so the whole family can live nearby .

…But what about Beatrice-chan?

Since she is an aristocratic born, her marriage age is quite early . It wouldn’t be strange if marriage talks come in as soon as she has her debut in social circles . And now the Bozes County is developing rapidly, it has been suggested that it may soon become a Marquessate .

And Beatrice-chan is the daughter of that house and known as the younger sister of Alexis-sama who is currently reputed as the coolest man in the social circle .

He protected me and the commander, Marquis Aiblinger, with himself as a shield . Thus, he became the cornerstone of the victory during the [Kingdom’s Absolute Defense], the battle with the Imperial Army and the Ancient Dragons, and the founder of a new n.o.ble family .

…yeah, Alexis-sama is  pretty popular now…

It was good that his dream of wanting to be motivated by the girls was fulfilled…

Anyway back to the topic .

And Beatrice-chan is also known as a friend of viscountess Yamano, the [Himemiko of Thunder] .

…a cute, honest, intelligent, and lovely girl with big heart .

Yup, there’s no doubt that there will be a lot of marriage talks coming in .

At this rate, she will be married off to somewhere in a 2 or 3 years . According to j.a.panese standards, she is still considered as a child though…

If she married of to a good family then it’s all good, but what if it’s a foul n.o.ble family who always pushing their status and position? What if it’s a pervert old man who connected to the Royal Family? What if it’s a black-hearted n.o.ble who just pretending to be a good person?

I don’t think Count-sama is the type of person who would sell his daughter in political marriage, but as a n.o.ble and as a lord, he has to protect his house, territory, and the folks no matter what . … Even if he knows that it would make his daughter unhappy .

That is what a head of a n.o.ble family and a lord of a territory is .

No no no no no!!!

That’s not acceptable!!

…yeah, so let’s make it so that she can live where I, Count-sama, and Iris-sama can reach!!

For that, let’s give Beatrice-chan an important role and force her to take a groom instead!!

Fuha .

Fuhahahahaha!!!

And Beatrice-chan, Sabine-chan, Colette-chan, and Mitchan the second will be married before me!!

Fuhi .

Fuhihihihi!!

“…is it over?” (Count-sama)

“Eh? What is?” (Mitsuha)

“Delusion time” (Count-sama)

…urusai wa!

“…and, well, that’s why I want Beatrice-chan to do the job…” (Mitsuha)

Of course, the only reason I explained to Count-sama and Iris sama was the ostensible ones . For the actual reason, I will bring it to my grave . …I don’t want to go in anytime soon though .

“…I was wondering what you are going to say, but…” (Count-sama)

“Mitsuha, you…” (Iris-sama)

Ah, both Count-sama and Iris-sama put up an exasperated expression on their faces .

“ “You just want to keep Beatrice within your reach, don’t you?” “ (Bozes Couple)

As expected of couple, they’re perfectly matched!!

…and my true reason is completely exposed .

“Well, Mitsuha seems to have no other friend than Beatrice…” (Count-sama)

Eeeeeehh!!!

Count Bozes just launched a ridiculous insult!!

“I do have!!! Colette-chan, Sabine-chan… “ (Mitsuha)

Huh? That’s all?

“Is that it? Besides, Colette would be Mitsuha’s servant, and Her Highness Sabine is a royal . Neither of these can be called ordinary “friends”, right?” (Count-sama)

“Ugh…” (Mitsuha)

I thought that Count-sama might be reluctant to let Colette-chan go if I said that she can be my va.s.sal candidate because she is talented, so I said [She’s my lifesaver, so I want to hire her to be my servant] .

During the orc subjugation, I explained to him that Colette-chan was tagging along because [She can return to her village after a long time and see her parents] . That’s why Count-sama thinks that the relationship between me and Colette is no more than that of a master and a servant rather than equal friends . …ugh, I can’t refute…

As for Sabine-chan, it can be treated as blasphemy if a mere emerging viscount treating her as a friend .

I can’t talk about Mitchan the second, and of course, Mitchan the first is also out of the question . And he will only recognize the Yamano family maid girl corps as servants .

The orphanage… no no, it’s unlikely that Count-sama would recognize them as my friends!

“……I am sorry!” (Count-sama)

“What are you apologizing for?” (Mitsuha)

Ah, I guess that’s right . I guess this is where I should feel sad .

But regardless of what Count-sama thinks, I do have friends and I don’t need to be depressed, yeah!

“…why are you suddenly putting that smug face?” (Count-sama)

…urusai wa!
