chapter-181
181 . 3rdfloor is open
“So that’s why, I request the permission to enter the 3rdfloor!” (Sabine-chan)
“What is this [So that’s why] crap!?” (Mitsuha)
After we back from the Kingdom of Vanel in the new continent, I dropped Colette off in the territory, and then went to the [General Store Mitsuha], where Sabine-chan was already waiting in front of the store .
“You took Colette somewhere again, didn’t you!? I demand something to make up for that!!!” (Sabine-chan)A~h, she can’t stand to be treated differently with Colette-chan, huh… That’s why she wants something to level out the difference . I don’t think I can retreat here . Now I’m done for… .
“I’ve already seen the house in Japan anyway, seeing the third floor of [General Store Mitsuha] isn’t going to be any different, is it!?” (Sabine-chan)
U~n, indeed, that is right… I didn’t put anything that my house in Japan doesn’t have on the third floor . The weapons are stored at the Wolf Fang’s Base when they’re not needed, and Sabine-chan is familiar with things like TV, blu-ray, air conditioner, fridge, and game consoles anyway .
There’s a laptop, but it’s not connected to the internet, and Sabine-chan hasn’t learned how to use it either . To begin with, Sabine-chan never touches things without my permission, especially if I say [Never ever touch that] with a serious face . She’s a trustworthy girl on that point .
“And, if you give me permission to go in and out freely, I will open the store on behalf of you, neesama . Of course, I’ll leave the storekeeping to the maids, while I’m doing something else! Neesama, you’re so busy that you don’t have time to manage the store, right? I think it will be a lot easier if you leave it to me…” (Sabine-chan)
Ugh! It’s an appealing offer…
They would station some hidden escort anyway, so I don’t have to worry about security… There’s no particular problem as long as anyone other than Sabine-chan is prohibited on the second floor and above .Ummm…
Mmmmmmmm… .
“Mmmmmm… I-if you insist…” (Mitsuha)
Himemiko has fallen into the Devil’s whisper!!
“…and this is how you switch on the crime prevention mode . Since I removed the automatic trigger for the crossbow, I think a single mistake won’t instantly kill you, but still, it’s a big nuisance if the emergency bell rings in the middle of the night, so don’t do anything weird!! Depending on the circumstance, I will revoke your permit here!” (Mitsuha)
“Y-yeah, I get it!” (Sabine-chan)
Sabine-chan, who seems to understand what I mean seriously, answered with a serious expression .
“Also, only Sabine-chan can go to the third floor! The maids or escorts are prohibited to go to the second floor and above unless there’s a fire or intruder . And Sabine-chan can only pass through the second floor, you’re not allowed to touch anything there . The second floor is used only for storage anyway, and various traps are set up to avoid intruders, so it’s for Sabine-chan’s safety too . Do you get it?” (Mitsuha)
“Yup!” (Sabine-chan)
Like that, [General Store Mitsuha] employed a deputy manager . Along with her direct reports…
By the way, I, as a store manager, have no authority over the deputy manager’s direct reports…
“N-neesama, I have one other request…” (Sabine-chan)
“Hn? What is it?” (Mitsuha)
Well, she’s working here for free, so I’ll grant one or two of her requests .
“Umm… can I also bring my little brother and Chii-neesama here…” (Sabine-chan)
“Eh?” (Mitsuha)
Speaking of her younger brother, that is the fluffy healing prince, Rouen-kun right? And this [Chii-neesama] is the second princess, if I recall correctly .
Certainly, it might be lonely to watch DVDs and Blu-rays on the third floor alone . Rouen-kun and Chii-neesama might not understand the language of the videos, but if Sabine-chan translates it for them, everyone may have a good time . And they won’t come every day, but only occasionally . …otherwise, Sabine-chan won’t be able to enjoy the new releases leisurely .
Mmmmm…
“But the Crown Prince and the First Princess are not included right? (Mitsuha)
“Yup!” (Sabine-chan)
Is that so, you will cast away those two huh… just as usual, you still have dry attitude towards them, Sabine-chan…
But it’s probably in anticipation that I wouldn’t give her an OK if they were included, maybe…
Yes, I’m sure those two would use what they learn here for the Country’s interest . It’s their duty as members of Royal family, and it’s a right thing .
So Sabine-chan casted them away from the beginning, knowing that I would hate if I were forced to do something against my will… it doesn’t mean that they’re not getting along with each other .
…that’s the case, right?
It can’t be helped then…
“Approved!!” (Mitsuha)
Just like that, the fallen angel’s invasion of the [General Store Mitsuha] has begun…
“Transfer!” (Mitsuha)
This is the second floor of [General Store Mitsuha] .
Since I allowed Sabine-chan to go to the third floor, she might be surprised if I suddenly appeared while she’s there . I don’t think she would be as far as having a heart attack, but still she might be having a hot tea and it’d be a mess if she spill it out, so I changed my transfer point to a room on the second floor . She might get a scald, and the clothes Sabine-chan wears are quite expensive…
Then, go upstairs while avoiding the piano wires that connected to the trigger to activate the [Laser stereoscopic hologram of a ghost and its sounds] . And open the door to the living room on the third floor .
“P-pardon for the intrusion…” (Chii-neesama)
Said the second princess while smiling, then she bowed . Both of her eyes are red…
Right, in the living room, Sabine-chan, her little brother Prince Rouen, and her big sister the second princess, Chii-neesama, gathered around the kotatsu while playing RPG and eating oranges .
There are a lot of empty bags of sweets, empty cans and bottles of juices are scattered around them .
“You…”
“ “ “You?” “ “
“ “ “You brats!!! Since when you’ve been in this room!!?” (Mitsuha)
Thus, ignoring Sabine-chan who desperately resisting, I put a time restrictions on games and DVDs .
