Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

But, well, shes been pretty good to us.

Normally, an ordinary sailor like me who suddenly comes to invade their country, gets beaten back, and captured would be treated as a slave or even publicly executed as an example.

And yet, I was allowed to become a naturalized citizen, hired with a high salary as an instructor for the creation of this countrys navy, adored by young men with sparkling eyes who called me and , And, and whats more, a lovely lady asked me to go out with her!!

Im glad I desperately remembered the language of this country

Some of my friends still cant speak the language here, but I tried my best to remember and further improve them. In my free time, I brought sweets for my neighbors and asked them to have a chat with me instead of paying for them.

While the others were drinking their sorrows away with their buddies, I continued to study hard and my efforts were rewarded

Her Excellency, the Viscount, asked me, I was scolded, but is there something wrong with that? From a males perspective, if youre going to give someone candy and ask them to be your conversation partner, youd rather have a pretty girl than a boy, right? Well, some people might say that boys are better, but I prefer girls. Theres nothing wrong with that, right?

Anyway, in my home country, I was a low-ranking sailor who was treated with long hours and low wages, and I would never have a chance with a woman, but here, Im told that Ill be paid quite well, have a technical job, and be treated as a normal citizen!

And in this area, which is a rural town, I am a very promising marriage partner

Seriously!!

Even if I teach them how to sail, its not like were going to be directly fighting against the homeland fleet, and since were so far away from another continent, theres no way were going to have a big naval battle with a big fleet.

In the first place, I dont know if we can reach the other continents

Besides, Im ready to fight for this country even if it comes to a war against my home country, Vanell Kingdom.

I owe nothing to the Vanell Kingdom, who did nothing for me and even forced me to live like a slave.

I can even fight the devil for this country that treats me as a human being and for the woman I love

Then, one day, the Viscount gave me some surprising information.

The probability of the Norse kingdom messing with the Vanell kingdom and having a fleet battle is very high, she said.

But the Vanell kingdom is far away from here. Its so far away that we would have to sail for months to reach it.

And what can you do with the three old ships that were about to be decommissioned and a crew that was not well trained and was being loaned out for expeditionary voyages?

Well, no matter what I think, theres nothing I can do because of the distance Im currently in

[So, I would like to send out a volunteer fleet from our country to support the Vanel Kingdom] Mitsuha

Seriously?!!

But what are you going to do about the months of travel distance?

[By the power of the Goddess, we will move in an instant.] Mitsuha

Seriously!

Thats scary! The goddess power?!

But arent the Vanel Kingdom and this country at war?

[Only for one day, these three ships will return to their original affiliation, the Vanel Expeditionary Fleet, and participate as the Vanel Kingdoms ships for one last time.

I know theyll never be able to go back to your homeland, but with the help of the Goddess, why dont we make one last grand fireworks display? If we do well, something good may come of it for the families of both of our country

Of course, youll all get a military allowance from us.] Mitsuha

Seriously!

Weve got to ride this big wave. This, big wave!

And then, there was the Cariard, the flagship of the expedition fleet, which took the lead for the first time in a few months.

My charming apprentices run around in front of me, frantically working on their sails.

What am I standing here for?

For my home country, Vanell kingdom?

For my parents, brother and sisters I left behind in that country?

No, thats no it!

I, as a citizen of Zegreus kingdom, will stand against its enemies with my apprentices!

This mission was on a volunteer basis. If I wanted to refuse, I could turn it down without any penalty.

But Im standing here, right now.

This battle is what I wanted.

It wasnt a battle that I was forced into and didnt want to participate in. Its not like before.

This place belongs to no one.

This is my

This is my battlefield!

~Mitsuhas POV~

[Mitsuha, what have you been doing sneaking around lately?] Count Bozes

One day, Count Bozes suddenly told me such a thing.

[Eh? No, nothing] Mitsuha

This is bad. Is he suspicious of my absence due to the new continent?

However, the new continent is something Im doing on my own. Even the first fund, the gold, was only borrowed from the king, and it was my own expense afterward.

And Ive already recovered what I spent, so Im pretty much in the black, but thats the money that Im using to bluff my way in and to prove that Im wealthy, so I cant collect it yet.

[] Count Bozes

Oh no, hes getting suspicious as hell

Colette and Sabine are the only two people on this continent who know that I am doing a lot of things in the new continent.

Ive had transferred people from the fishing village to help with the creation of the small sailboats and even my maids to act as the spirit of the ship, but that was just a short, simple job, and I didnt tell them where it was or what the job details, so its not a problem.

However, Ive told Count-sama that my transition ability was not really a big burden, so when I dont show up for a while, he might think that Im staying for a long time in either the royal capital or in my territory But why did he think I was doing something?

I guess Id better confirm this properly. It might be the type of case where the wound will get bigger later if left unattended.

[Ano, Count-sama, how did you know that Im doing something?] Mitsuha

Looking at Count-samas face, I asked nervously. And he replied.

[Mitsuha, are you secretly attending some party or visiting other aristocratic homes without informing us?] Count Bozes

Gikuri!

[Where did you get that fro?] Mitsuha

[Youve lost. Now, confess!] Count Bozes

[Uuuuuuu! But how did you find out?] Mitsuha

Yes, I need to know that! for future reference.

From a spy? From an informant?

[The only time Mitsuha eats for free is at a party or when she gets a free meal from a noble familys table, right? And I can guess the approximate frequency.

Then again, youve obviously been to quite a few more parties and dinners than Ive been able to keep track of, havent you? What in the world is that faction you are in contact with?] Count Bozes

Oh, thats right, youre curious about that kind of thing. Its a big problem for Count-sama, isnt it?

Its rumored that Im about to be promoted to a marquis. After all, Im an ally of Marquis Icebringer, Im well-liked by the royal family, Im well known as Hime-Miko of Thunder, and Im a key member of the navy that was established recently. Im not sure what to make of this, but Im sure its a good idea. Im going to be the most powerful in any faction in the kingdom. But if Im having an affair with another faction there, everyone would be impatient. Like finding your two-timing lover having an affair something like that

Anyway, how did he know that I was at parties or banquets somewhere else?

If I dont understand it, I cant use it as a reference

Count-samas line of sight.

Not on my meekly, modest chest, but a little lower, around my stomach.

[Gi.] Mitsuha

[Gi?] Count Bozes

[Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~!!] Mitsuha
