Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 169

169. Sanction 1

We have arrived!

Let's get off the carriage and head to the party venue with Marquis Mitch.e.l.l.

Since it's my first time visiting this place, my face is still not known, but there seems to be no gatekeeper, guard or guide who doesn't know Marquis Mitch.e.l.l.

Following Marquis-sama, we went around to greet the organizers and key people. Some are new to me, and there's also some people that I've already met at the other parties.

…And everyone turned their head, glaring towards me…

Scary!!

Well, maybe it's about the imported products.

I guess there are some who want to bite into my business to make profit, but most of the attendee here are n.o.bilities, not merchants. So, perhaps it's not only about that, but also about [That].

It's something like [I want to eat and drink delicious things] or [I want to get my hands on the trending items to maintain my status].

Right, I carried a large quant.i.ties of spices… even so, they're not that much, but still, enough to meet the needs of the upper-cla.s.s families. Spices aren't consumed in large quant.i.ties like wheat, so if you buy them not only in j.a.pan but also in other countries, it can be managed somehow, even if they purchased collectively in individual-scale rather than business-scale.  There are also online orders… So there's no need to be afraid of shortage of stock.

In the future, I want to circulate them among the commoners, so I don't want the spices to have the impression that they're [Luxury goods that can't be easily obtained].

However, the supply of liquors and high-quality ingredients has been squeezed that it escalates the market demand and stimulates the sense of high-cla.s.s and luxury.

These goods have little to do with commoners because they're not essential items in general, and there are enough lower-rank compatible products made in this country, so there's not much problem with shortage.

So, of course, I'm going to make profits out of them, but other than that, I plan to use it as a convenient item that can be used in various ways, such as [inexpensive item for getting acquainted with the n.o.bles].

…or that was the plan.

Marquis Mitch.e.l.l cannot be stuck with me all the time. So, he's staying away from me and occasionally looks at me to check the situation from afar, but…

People starts coming this way.

Pepper, caviar, exotic fruits, and… liquor.

Everyone just looking for what they're going to consume in their own home. And, attempting to investigate the market rate of precious metals and gems in my home country.

I to those people, I said [If you want to trade, you can ask Rephilia Trade. I can introduce you if you want]. And in response to small requests like [Can I have some bottle of high-quality liquor for my enjoyment?], I replied, [I can arrange that if you send a gofer to my product store], and they were overjoyed.

I never talked about big promises, I just sprinkled my amiability and end the conversations safely. Perhaps he's relieved to see that Marquis Mitch.e.l.l looked away from me and moved a little further away. And at that time, [That] has arrived.

An evil-looking old man with a little moustache on his face.

An arrogant-looking young man.

And the six men who bringing their sword inside the party venue.

Right, they're Count Wonrade and Viscount Efred which I've been careful to avoid, the DQN group.

…but why?

Just as usual, this morning, I've hired a messenger boy, and confirmed that they would not attend.

The organizer averted his eyes when I briefly glared at him.

The DQNs were looking for me as soon as they arrived… I can already guess what happened here.

Right, I've been entrapped.

Are You Freaking Kidding Me?!?

When I thought I should go to the food corner, two of the six minions moved between me and the food corner! d.a.m.n!

The surrounding n.o.bles and waiters have backed down a few steps, and there's no obstacle between me and the DQNs. This is completely a trap.

Alright, If they want to play this game, I shall take the invitation…

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" (Mitsuha)

I turned my back toward the approaching DQNs and shouted loudly. They seem to be surprised and stopped on their track.

"Apparently, I seem to have been deceived, trapped, and sold, so I'll take the liberty to leave. I am very displeased with this poor treatment, so I will renege all the promise that everyone has made with me. Well then, please excuse me!" (Mitsuha)

With that said, I ran towards the window. I quickly opened window before someone managed to stop me, climbed up to the window frame, and jumped down to the garden. Because the floor surface of the building was quite high, the height would be more than 2 meters from the window frame.

" " " " "Wha!!" " " " " (the Crowds)

In the venue behind me, I heard a series of startling screams, but it doesn't matter. After my body fell from the window frame and out of everyone's sight, Transfer! If I fall like this, I would've sprained my feet.

The landing point is in my Onichan's room at home. The room has been slightly modified, that is, there are several futons laid on the bed to reduce the impact.

Right, although I can nullify the momentum, I still need to have some precautions in case of an emergency. During the Absolute Defense of the Royal Capital, I appeared on the pool table at Captain-san's place, and I can't forget the pain when the b.a.l.l.s wedged into my legs!

Then I immediately went downstairs and to look for a particular present. I took the slightly stuck item and transferred to the product store!

"Good evening!" (Mitsuha)

And I came here.

The familiar, guard post next to the store.

"This is some souvenirs" (Mitsuha)

And I gave them a small cardboard box and a paper bag.

"thank you as always… tte, th-this is!!" (Guard Uncle)

The guard uncle's eyes shot open when looked at the box he received.

Yes, those are 6 bottles of the slightly expensive brandy that I've given them before.

" " " " "Oooooh!!" " " " " (the other 5 guards)

The other five uncles were also overjoyed.

Well, those are the goods that Marquis-sama liked after all.

Also, since they're my neighbor, perhaps they've already heard that I've started the trade from their superiors. And high-quality liquors are included in the trade.

 "Since I've started the import, you can show it to others or resell it and use it to earn extra money. Be careful not to be fooled, you should expect a reasonable price for them" (Mtisuha)

" " " " " "Who would ever sell something like this!!" " " " " " (the guards)

Oh, is that so?

"Also, I'm going to be away for a while, since I seemed to have noticed something strange… If there's anyone trying to sneak into the store, please put them all in jail" (Mitsuha)

" " " " " "Please leave it to us!" " " " " "

And, just in case, I transferred the merchandise in the store along with the whole shelves. The destination is at my private warehouse in the Yamano Viscounty. There is always plenty of s.p.a.ce available for such occasions.

The second floor is originally empty and does not have any earth items. So, the store is completely empty, like an abandoned house. There's nothing there, to the extent that it would be still fine even if I didn't lock the door.

…no, of course I locked the shop.

Alright, I'll leave the store for about a month!
