Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement
chapter-203

203 . Pandemonium 2

“How’s it going?” (Mitsuha)

“Yes, all of the incoming stocks have been reserved . And we have declined orders form 12 names on the list . We, more or less, took orders as much as we can, but some of them are obviously suspicious” (?)

Yeah, it’s still within the range of my expectations .

“We’ll do the delivery, so it’s alright . If there is something you deem suspicious, please note that in the order form . We will investigate it later” (Mitsuha)

“Understood!” (?)

Yeah, I turned that store to a sales outlet that is basically unrelated to the Rephilia Trade .

With this, neither this store nor the Rephilia Trade has authority on the distribution of the cosmetics . Those who are persistent will be put on the blacklist . Everyone will understand that I have an absolute control over everything related to the Yamano Viscounty, not only the cosmetics .

Of course, the goods will be delivered directly to the buyer’s residence, so no one will be able to pretend as another person, nor can they falsify the quotas .

Even if, in some cases, someone shared a part of their houses with another family, the quota will be adjusted to the number of women in the house . Or if there’s an unlikely case such as [some women in the house do not use makeup], of course, the quota will be reduced accordingly .

In the first place, the female in the house absolutely won’t allow for their share to be resold . Neither can I imagine someone would resell something that they desperately secured for their mistresses .

And of course, any form of bullying such as [Sell the youngest daughter’s share] is unforgivable . Anyone who does something like that will be blacklisted right away .

If there’s a security risk, even a little, I will leave the information gathering to [The people inthatline of business] . But if there’s no imminent danger, I will leave the lookout to the orphans . …and on some part, I will ask the members of the [Society] who are financially hard up

Yeah, most of the members of the [Society] are daughters of count families, but some of them are daughters of marquis, viscount, or baron families . But I, more or less, said that [your parents’ statuses or titles are irrelevant], since it would be bad If there’s someone thinking about something like [I’m the only one who came from the lower noble family] . …or course, besides that, there are also other [purposes] .

Daughters of duke families are, of course, out of the question . Because they surely have a close connection with the royal family, and besides, if there’s someone who has a higher position than Mitchan, they will definitely be trying to take control . …it would be useless even if they try to do something like that though .

Whatever the circumstance is, the [Society] will not be able to stand without the full support of the Yamano viscount family .

And it is unlikely for me to abandon Mitchan and switch over to someone else .

So that’s why the daughters of low-ranking nobles who are short on pocket money are taking the gossips gathering and brief surveys on the nobilities daughters as part-time jobs .

It’s not just about making money, but it’s also about controlling our mighty weapon, the cosmetics, so the girls can do the jobs stately with a sense of duty since those are a notable contribution towards the [Society] .

Me making use of the orphans is, well, because children have to eat until they’re full . And when they grow up, they can work as my private soldiers… . no, I mean, work for Rephilia Trade .

…well, this gives me a great deal of control over the distribution, and Rephilia doesn’t have to be stressed by this matter anymore .

Unlike me, that girl has a lot of ties with this country, and there are probably a lot of things she can’t flat out disregards, such as her family and her old friends . If the enemy attacks those people, it will be distressing for her…

Anyway, with this, we’re reaching the stopping place in the chapter about the critical strategic resource, [Cosmetics] . After this, I guess I will babysit Sabine-chan until [that one] became actualized .

It seems that Sabine-chan felt left out recently… And it seems that she found out that I was taking Colette-chan everywhere I go . I guess the bomb mark would be swelling to a dangerous level soon…

“Mitsuha, I think it’s about time for Sabine-chan to…” (Colette-chan)

Oooh, as expected of the wild child Colette-chan! It seems that she also noticed the smell of danger .

Then, I separated from the shopkeeper-san and confirmed that I was out of his sight, and… Transfer!

“Your Majesty, just what in the world is going on!?” (?)

His Majesty, the King of Vanel, is currently being shouted at .

Of course, there’s only one person in this world who can do that to His Majesty .

…right, it is his wife, Her Highness the Queen .

“That’s right! You should take the responsibility!” (?)

“According to what we heard, it is entirely your fault, it is not!?” (?)

“…you deserve a certain death…” (?) (Note: lmao)

No, there are three more of them .

They are the three princesses .

“There is no way for me as the Queen can come out in front of everyone in such a disgraceful appearance! I will not attend any event unless I get the [Yamano-style makeup] that uses Yamano made cosmetics! Absolutely!” (the Queen)

“ “ “so do we, desuwa!” “ “(The three princesses)

The King is at his wits’ end hearing the Queen and his daughters saying that in synchronized voice .

Setting the Queen aside, It would be terrible if all three princesses will not be going to official events . It would be beyond awful .

All three of them are in the age where they should already decide where they are going to be married to .

…especially, the first princess, is approaching a somewhat [dangerous zone] . This is what happened because she would not set aside her ego, no matter what, seeking not only social status and fortune but also [youth, beauty, tenderness, and attractiveness] from her partner candidates . [attractiveness] is still understandable, but [youth, beauty, and tenderness] are what men seek from women, but women should never seek those from men…

Even so, the King could understand, or rather, [Forced to understand] what the Queen and the Princesses said .

He saw those who have joined the rumored [Society], as well as their sisters and mothers, at parties a couple of times .

It was unbelievable that they are the same person he had seen a long time before… no, the features of their faces haven’t changed . But it was apparent that they emanated a completely different aura .

It would be a joyous occasion for the men, but for other women standing next to them, it would be as good as standing next to the hell itself…

“Anyway, I do not want to see your face until you do something!” (the Queen)

“So do I, desuwa!” (1st Princess)

“Me too, desu!” (2nd Princess)

“…if you want to see my face, one gold coin at a time…” (3rd Princess) (Note: lol I like this one already)

Only the third princess was a bit strange .

It seems that she could get along with Mitsuha . …for some reason…

And the Queen and her daughters left…

“Just what should I do!!?” (the King)

Although he is ruthless towards hostile nations, the King is sweet towards his wife and children . And that very King sank into his chair, holding his head .

“…give me your help, Prime Minister!” (the King)

“Even if you told me that…” (PM of Vanel)

If there is a right way, it would’ve been carried out already .

Besides, the reason why they were listed on the blacklist and couldn’t buy the cosmetics anymore seems to be because the Queen, as well as the first and the second princesses, sent letters of hard-lines to the Rephilia Trade, they reaped what they sow . But the Prime Minister held back from saying that as he does not want to get too deeply involved .

The third princess was the only one who had not sent such a letter . It seemed that she was just a victim that caught up in something that her mother and sisters had done, alas, she has no choice but to think of it as a stroke of bad luck…

“Mitsuha-san, Baron Wennarl seems to be at the limit” (Rephilia)

“Kita! Kitakitakitakita~~!” (Mitsuha) (Note: Kita = Came)

Mitsuha jumps up and rejoices at the report from Rephilia .

“There’s no direct transaction with Rephilia Trade, so it will not affect us… but is it really fine? To carry out such a plan…” (Rephilia)

Mitsuha smiles at the worried Rephilia .

“Yeah, it’s not about making money this time . The money you earned must not only be saved, but they also have to be recirculated to the market!” (Mitsuha)

Despite being so devoted to Mitsuha, Rephilia did not believe the word Mitsuha had said .

…right, Rephilia has already become a full-fledged merchant…
