Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

221 . Return trip to the territory 1

Its time to return to the territory .

I wont be able to transfer to other places during the trip, so Ive done everything I needed to do .

In case of an emergency, the butler Anton-san or Colette-chan from the territory or Sabine-chan from the royal capital will contact me using the radio . Well, other than them, theres also the Princess [Kekeke] (Note: Ref . ch . 102, The way Princess Remia laugh)

The same number of carriages and the same members already gathered at the central square in front of the royal palace as we arrived there . The things that have changed are just the cargos .

Several servants, including the butler Rufus-san, also came here to send Beatrice-chan off .

Well, of course, they would come together with her from the mansion . Theres no way they would let Beatrice-chan come here by herself even if there are the escorts that were hired by Count-sama accompanying her .

Ah, I shouldve gone to pick her up at the mansion?

Oh no, I screwed up

However, Beatrice-chan somehow looks

No, its not in a bad sense .

But she looks somewhat magnificent, showing a lordly attitude to her servants with full of confidence .

Even though she felt just like a normal, nave, noble girl when we departed from the territory

Did something suddenly change because she led the transport corps as a commander? Or Is it because she took control of the Bozes familys capital-mansion as the highest rank in the house during the last few days?

Well, Beatrice-chan thinks that Im younger than her, but unlike herself, who is just a daughter of a noble family, I have my own court rank . Even so, she knew shes the commander of the transport corps, so perhaps she realizes that she should always be prepared during the journey .

Up until now, she was always with her family when she stayed in the royal capital, so she has never been in a situation where she had to direct her servants when something happens . Even if by chance, Count-sama and Iris-sama were going out, there wouldve been her older brothers Alexis-sama and Theodore-sama

And this time, for the first time ever, she stayed in the royal capital without her family .

I dont know whether something happened at the mansion or not . But now, it looks like she has grown up to be a fine noble lady

[if you love your children, send them out into the world], huh

As expected of the people in the olden days, they were saying some pretty good things, all right

Ah, no, Im sure they said some pretty stupid things too, but only the good ones were passed to the newer generations . It doesnt mean they were only saying good things .

And Beatrice-chan gave a simple command to everyone, and we set off from the capital .

No, what in the world happened to you, Beatrice-chan! You didnt give any command when we were departing from the territory, right?

Mitsuha, since the folks in the Yamano viscounty seems to have some financial leeway, I think its time to distribute the kind of luxury goods so the money could circulate within the territory . And at the same time, we could enrich the lives of the folks and raise their satisfaction . [You have to use the money you earned], right? So, I checked the empty space on the merchants wagons and loaded the goods I had purchased with my personal funds to the wagons that have some room to spare . And so, I want to sell those goods in the Yamano Viscounty (Beatrice-chan)

I see, that means you can have your personal cargo carried at no shipping cost .

please come back, Beatrice-chaaaaaann!!!

Haa-Haa

Wh-whats wrong with you (Mitsuha)

Un, I had a little talk with the servants (Beatrice-chan)

Beatrice-chan answered my question with a distant look on her eyes .

What kind of talk she had with the servants?

Hmmmmm

Certainly, Beatrice-chan is a talented girl that was chosen as Sabine-chans study friend in order to guide the sensible Sabine-chan, who is 3 years younger than her, properly as a model figure . (Note: This par . Is super confusing, I hope I get it right)

The age difference of 3 years is huge around here, after all .

And the 11-years-old Sabine-chan is like that . So theres no wonder if the 14-years-old Beatrice-chan is tte, nononono!!

When I was 14, I was around 8th or 9th grader? At that time, I was completely a kid!!!

Is it because of her position as a noble daughter? Or is it because of the harshness of this world that she has to live like this?

Isekai girl, what a frightening existence!!

Speaking of which, Mitchan Mark II also has the wisdom that doesnt match her age

The other members of the [Society] are pretty much like normal girls when they were talking about gossips or boys, but when it comes to nobilities matter such as territory or the folks, they have fairly solid reasoning .

So its no wonder that Beatrice-chan is a little better than that .

I guess I underestimated her because shes a far younger child than me .

And during this trip, she has grown even further

Until now, Ive been treating Colette-chan and Sabine-chan as my companions, accomplices, or rather, as my relatives or family . So I told them all my secrets .

However, as for Beatrice-chan, for me, shes just the daughter of my benefactor, Count Bozes .

Of course, shes cute, and I want to protect her and in fact, I am . But Im protecting her as [Count Bozes family] rather than [my own family] .

However, Sabine-chan might want Beatrice-chan to be [our companion] just like Colette-chan . At first, it seemed that she thought that I already told Beatrice-chan everything, after all

For Sabine-chan who isnt attending school, her study friend Beatrice-chan mightve been her only friend

(Note: Dictionary says Gakuyuu means school friend/schoolmate . But it doesnt make sense since she isnt attending school, so study friend it is)

Of course, she might have other [study friend], but its hard to imagine that [girl of the same age or 2-3 years older, is a daughter of Count family or above, whose family, relatives, circle of friends, and faction of the house are clear from wrongdoing, have both exceptional capability and pleasant personality, and most important of all, can get along and be a good friend with Sabine-chan] is something common .

Even if their parents decided their first encounter, its got nothing to do with the persons themselves afterward . If Sabine-chan doesnt like the other party, she wouldnt have done more than the bare minimum after all

And that would be the same for Beatrice-chan .

A daughter of a noble family who isnt attending school .

Theres no other noble girl near her familys territory, and even when shes in the Royal Capital, I dont think there are many places where she can make friends before her debut . And a birthday party is a place to find a fiance, not a friend of the same gender . All children of the same gender are rivals, or rather, enemies .

what a brutal society

Thats why, in the Vanel Kingdom, which has a similar situation, the girls who joined the [Society] seems to be having so much fun .

Friends who dont really care about their status and faction, and can just have fun as normal girls . but just in case, its limited to [noble daughters] only, in order to create a safe and secure place where there is no concern that the commoners will be mixed in .

In a world where the other noble families are enemies, where the daughter of nobility are normally used as weapons, they found fellows, friends, comrades in the [Society] . For those girls, the [Society] is the very definition of an earthly paradise .

The [society] will never betray me, and Im not going to betray them either . As long as everyone doesnt betray me and still be useful for me

tsuha! Mitsuha!! (Beatrice-chan)

eh? A-aah, sorry, I was thinking (Mitsuha)

[Delusion time], right? I know that! So what were you talking with Sabine-chan? (Beatrice-chan)

Ah .

Sabine-chan is Beatrice-chans friend, long way before me .

In other words, Im a cheating partner who stole Sabine-chan from Beatrice-chan, I guess .

And Sabine-chan is a cheating partner who stole me from Beatrice-chan .

How do you think a girl of this age would feel when shes being left out by one of her few friends only to find that she is getting along with another girl she met later?

yup, it wouldnt be strange even if she was furiously yelling at me .

And yet, you dont even look angry or unpleasant . What a wonderful human being you are, Beatrice-chan

No, Im sorry!!
