Resurrection! (^ ^) /
After 1 year, It will be resumed!
I would be extremely grateful for your cooperation.
Translator"s note:
A very important announcement at the end of the chapter.
76 Yamano Fortification Inst.i.tute Umm, 3 weeks after the h.e.l.lish tournament ended.
The [General Store Mitsuha], made a little renovation.
First, I left the products that sell well to Pez-san"s shop, and made a.s.sortment of the products that didn"t sell so much.
Eh, usually it"s the opposite? No no, if you put those superb products on the shelf of my store, it will get busy.
Besides, if you open a store for only once in a while, wouldn"t you trouble the customers if they wanted to buy the necessities?
That"s why we deal with things that are not essential and not very popular, that also have a very high profitability, or requires a proper explanation for the buyer.
We also promoted folding rear cars to permanent items rather than made to orders.
Truth to be told, I thought that I would quit the shop completely, but I guess it would make me somewhat lonely ….
Besides profit, it was fun to see j.a.panese goods being useful to this world.
Products that became popular and able to sell well can be transferred to Pez-san"s shop one after another.
That"s why I only place items that can only be sold at high prices, only high-priced items, the rebirth of [General store Mitsuha], a newly opened store.
Just in case, I"ll stuff it myself.
……Just what kind of shelf do you think this store have! !
And, the crime prevention system was greatly upgraded, in the newly born [General store Mitsuha], no, [Viscount Yamano"s house]
When someone gets caught by infrared sensors or by wires, the transmitter automatically activate and send a signal, to the receiver in the mansion here at the Yamano territory, and then the alarm sounds off.
Because it"s just a small territory, I can hear it wherever I am, but just to be sure, Anton, the butler, will contact my wireless handheld radio.
And, it"s a system where I immediately appear in full-battle gear, via the Armory.
The bow and arrow"s firing system, which can shoot automatically are disengaged, because I am afraid of the inaccurate shooting.
Attacks are judged by oneself.
When I tell her how it works, Sabine-chan leaked a terrified voice.
Sabine: 「Mitsuhoneesama, what in the world are you fighting?」
Sh, Shut up!！ (U, urusai wa!)
I also made a gunner seat on the roof.
If you make a movable platform that is one step higher and install a heavy machine gun there, you can shoot down in all directions.
Of course, usually there is no machine gun main body, it will be brought in by teleportation, only in case of emergency.
Sabine: 「……So, what in the world are you fighting……」
The voice of Sabine-chan, who was frightened to the bottom of her heart….
Like I said, be quiet!
I am part of the cautious faction.
Most of my cla.s.smates wouldn"t believe me.
But Mi-chan of a certain liquor store, believes in her childhood friend…… Maybe.
So, should the Yamano family"s house (capital branch), got surrounded by the enemies, and if I could not escape using teleportation. And also, when I have to protect the people in the city.
If you think about all of that, you will be troubled unless you take some necessary safety precautions.
==================
And the renovation work of my residence at the capital was over, the quota of giving the prizes of the game board tournament was already settled.
Now, [our real battle!] is starting.
No, it"s a never ending battle. It"s true…
One of the project in the Kingdom, has completed the first stage.
Since lightning corn is being transported from the Yamano territory on a regular basis, there are no problem for the sales of the orphanage and the general populace.
Merchants who knew that using the [explosive corns] of Yamano territory, could make [lightning corns], shopkeepers of stalls who were watching the success of the children from the orphanage, and vagrants who thought they could enter the business themselves, the children started moving all at once, but what will happen……
When I thought of quickly heading back to the territory, I received a message from Sabine-chan.
Sabine: 「Otou-sama said, he would like to see you.」
If it comes to the invitation of the King, it cannot be ignored…….
So we went together to the castle.
===================
Mitsuha: 「Your Majesty, did you call for me?」
King: 「Oh, thank you for coming. Actually, it is a matter of warning to other countries…」
Ah, now that you mention it, there was such a discussion….
King: 「In the near future, I"m thinking of sending messengers to each country. First of all, this is not a negotiation, because of the situation, this is a warning that if the countries didn"t unite, you do not know when and where would they land next.
Once that landing got permitted, the entire continent will be overrun. I would like to inform that fact, and then I would like to proceed with consultations on forming an alliance for joint defense measures with each country.」
Mitsuha: 「…… I think it"s reasonable.」
Yeah, that would be the best course of action. As expected of a King, he"s thinking about it properly.
King: 「Umu, if we jointly develop a new ship and a new style of powerful weapons in the partic.i.p.ating countries, everyone will not be able to refuse the alliance…」
U wa~a, you"re such a villain!
Mitsuha: 「Fufufu, your Majesty, you"re such an evil, you know.……」
Sabine: 「No, no, the owner of the [General store Mitsuha], is the true evil one…….」
Sabine-chan, ever since you heard the story of the retirement plan of a certain [general goods shop] that you like, it seems that you want to use it every time there is chance, the King will remember such a strange remark.
So it"s necessary for me teach Sabine-chan the right words for the right timing, to reduce the damage for me and the others. It"s still fine if it"s just us, but if the King suddenly said something like this, it could be a disaster.
Ah, how troublesome ~ ~! !
King: 「That"s why, the messengers, escorts, a.s.sistants, and the others, are of course, will be selected from the royal palace. So, Mitsuha, no, Viscount Yamano, I would like to ask thee……」
Mitsuha: 「Exhibition of the power of weapons and showing the authority as the [Princess Shrine Maiden of Thunder], right?」
King: 「That would be correct.」
The King did not ask me as Mitsuha, but as the Viscount Yamano.
Generally, it"s a request not as a friend of his daughter Sabine-chan, but as His Majesty"s va.s.sal [Yamano] which is a Viscount.
Then there is no choice.
Mitsuha: 「I humbly accept your orders.」
I resigned before His Majesty and quickly returned to the territory.
======================
After teleporting to my room in the mansion, I quickly jumped onto the bed.
Before doing things within the territory, I thought about the recent things as I was lying on my own bed.
First of all, about traveling around each country.
No, it is already a definite move. (いや、行くのは既に確定事項だ。)
The real question is, how would I do it?…….
To begin with, I have not been there before, so I cannot go there by the means of teleportation. Once I get there, I can go back and forth as much as I wanted. So, it"s necessary to move there by normal means, at least once.
Given that, this expedition seems to be useful in the future.
And the first thing we have to decide about, is the vehicle.
The carriage that normally used here, makes your b.u.t.t hurt because of violent shaking, it is also made for you to talk to the dirty old man on the other side, excuse me! What I like is [a dandy uncle], not a dirty old fart. No Way! !
Besides, when you ride in the carriage of the royal palace, you cannot load your own luggage excessively, and there are eyes always gazing at you at all time, so it"s very difficult to do various things.
Then, should I use my private carriage? If so, my b.u.t.t won"t get hurt.
However, it"s small and have a limited payload capacity and also can a single [silver] handle a long trip?
How much will it take for it to break down for running a long period of time on a non-paved road, even if it is made from Earth? It"s impossible to repair unless we"re on Earth, and since it"s a custom build, it will take time to obtain the parts.
Besides, the time it takes to move is blasphemous to this world. Somehow, a convenient, comfortable, fast and time-saving carriage appeared…….
Since the money can be charged to the King, it is also possible to acquire some budget. I wonder if there is a good way…
Pikon! (scammers sense sfx.)
When I was thinking of various things, it suddenly flashed.
I need a little confirmation, but maybe I can go.
However, it takes a considerable amount of time and money. I hope the conditions will meet and the King will give a gold coin….
And, there"s no time to waste!
Pick up the job quickly, confirm it and if you are okay with it, you have to get ready!
Now then, I have to go to the office and ask Anton-san for a report during my absence….
