Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 221

221 . Return trip to the territory 1

It’s time to return to the territory .

I won’t be able to transfer to other places during the trip, so I’ve 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, there’s 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 . There’s 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 should’ve gone to pick her up at the mansion?

Oh no, I screwed up…

However, Beatrice-chan somehow looks…

No, it’s not in a bad sense .

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

Even though she felt just like a normal, naïve, n.o.ble 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 family’s capital-mansion as the highest rank in the house during the last few days?

Well, Beatrice-chan thinks that I’m younger than her, but unlike herself, who is just a daughter of a n.o.ble family, I have my own court rank . Even so, she knew she’s 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 would’ve 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 don’t know whether something happened at the mansion or not . But now, it looks like she has grown up to be a fine n.o.ble 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, I’m sure they said some pretty stupid things too, but only the good ones were pa.s.sed to the newer generations . It doesn’t 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 didn’t 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 it’s 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 s.p.a.ce 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 s.h.i.+pping cost .

…please come back, Beatrice-chaaaaaann!!!

HaHaa…

“Wh-what’s 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-chan’s 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 there’s 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 n.o.ble 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 doesn’t 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 n.o.bilities matter such as territory or the folks, they have fairly solid reasoning .

So it’s no wonder that Beatrice-chan is a little better than that .

I guess I underestimated her because she’s a far younger child than me .

And during this trip, she has grown even further…

Until now, I’ve 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, she’s just the daughter of my benefactor, Count Bozes .

Of course, she’s cute, and I want to protect her… and in fact, I am . But I’m 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 isn’t attending school, her study friend Beatrice-chan might’ve been her only friend…

(Note: Dictionary says Gakuyuu means school friend/schoolmate . But it doesn’t make sense since she isn’t attending school, so study friend it is)

Of course, she might have other [study friend], but it’s 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, it’s got nothing to do with the persons themselves afterward . If Sabine-chan doesn’t like the other party, she wouldn’t have done more than the bare minimum after all…

And that would be the same for Beatrice-chan .

A daughter of a n.o.ble family who isn’t attending school .

There’s no other n.o.ble girl near her family’s territory, and even when she’s in the Royal Capital, I don’t think there are many places where she can make friends before her debut . And a birthday party is a place to find a fiancée, not a friend of the same gender . All children of the same gender are rivals, or rather, enemies .

…what a brutal society…

That’s 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 don’t really care about their status and faction, and can just have fun as normal girls . …but just in case, it’s limited to [n.o.ble 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 n.o.ble families are enemies, where the daughter of n.o.bility 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 I’m not going to betray them either . As long as everyone doesn’t betray me and still be useful for me…

“…tsuha! Mitsuha!!” (Beatrice-chan)

“…eh? 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-chan’s friend, long way before me .

In other words, I’m 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 she’s 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 wouldn’t be strange even if she was furiously yelling at me .

And yet, you don’t even look angry or unpleasant . What a wonderful human being you are, Beatrice-chan…

No, I’m sorry!!
