52 POPCORN ON SALE! PART 2

Popcorn sale, day 2 .

I came to see the situation today as well . I’m going to stick around for a few days . I’m worried, after all… .

 
Even if people talks about the shop, it’s okay because they mostly start from the evening .
According to a story I heard during the movement, yesterday, the director-sensei who heard the sales was overwhelming and then, suddenly added one more item for dinner .

 
It feels nice, but I hope the sales will not fall after the customer has tried a lot of popcorn… .

 
We~ll, I think it’s okay .
Today’s members, are older than yesterday . Because the work was unexpectedly hard, the number of staff had also increased to five .
…However, the salary does not change, it remains at 30% of the net profit .
The sales have exceeded our expectations, and all of their salaries will be deposited into the orphanage’s budget, so it’s the same no matter how many people do it .
Philip-kun who came yesterday, is among the 5 children…
I guess, I’m worried that the rest are first-timers . Everyone had already practiced cooking, but in terms of customer service…
However, it seems that Phillip’s arms have not yet recovered from the damage yesterday, so he seems to be in charge of the sales and handling the customer , supervision of the operation, etc . (TN: in short he got promoted . ) He’s a strong child .

There is a rule that, if you reach 15 years of age, you have to leave the orphanage .

 
However, it is not possible to hire all of the orphanage’s graduates, into the House of the Viscount Yamano . Its another story if they have good talent .
Besides, when it comes to『everyone of the orphanage can be hired by the family of Viscount Yamano,』there will be various adverse effects such as hara.s.sment from the envious, or trying to push people who are on the verge of adulthood into the orphanage .
In the end, it will be my decision . I’d rather choose the talent I want, than being asked to hire someone .
Those who became adults are no longer『orphans』, even though they don’t have a parent . [I have to live on my own, because I am a fine adult . ]
Of course, as an adult, I will come to search for talented people and hire them, if I have seen the ability .

It might be a form of scouting as a citizen, rather than being directly hired at the Viscount Yamano Household .
I arrived at the square, while deep in thought .

Under Philip-kun’s command, they quickly prepare, manufacture and started selling .

It is unusual that the aristocrats will eat side by side with the common people, but they want to eat something as.e.xual (uncommon), and do not stop when they start eating .

Even though it does not look so delicious, they bought it for some reason .

 
The devilish Popcorn, was still selling well today . (TN: truly evil)

While she was hiding behind the stalls and looking at it, she seems to have been drowsy . (TN: suddenly s.h.i.+fted to 3rd person view . )
When suddenly . she noticed something was wrong .

「I’m asking you, with whose permission, that you’re doing business here!」 (Thug)

Oh, Here they come! (Ō, kita kita!) …Is it my turn~?
From the bag I pull out a pistol-type stun gun, and then…… .
「From the Princess Maiden of the Thunder」(Philip)
Philip-kun suddenly answered .  (1)
「「「Eh?…」」」(Thugs)

Well, how did it go?

 
I took a peek……

「This is a store used to promote the specialties of the Yamano territory, and it is under the direct management of the Princess of Shrine Maiden of Thunder, which is the Viscount Mitsuha von Yamano . And we are, the princess shrine maiden’s, faithful servants! ! 」 (Philip-kun)

After the words has spoken, 5 people join hands together .

Ha ha!~ 　What’s up with that! ! (Nanida yo sore! !)

Were you practicing?

Hahahaha, Oh, no, My stomach hurts…

「So then, what can I do for you?」 (Philip-kun)

「No, no, that …」(Thug)

Three thugs who suddenly began to panic, after seeing Philip-kun’s dignified att.i.tude .

They thought that he was just an orphan, but he set up a stall, sold things they have never seen before, and then suddenly named as a servant of the Princess Shrine Maiden .

And even a child knows, what will happen to those, who are exploiting the name of the Princess Shrine Maiden, in this country… .
Surely, I could’ve deal with it myself . You pa.s.sed!!

 
Even if I leave it as it is, the thugs will disperse .

Well then, let’s not push it too far, it’s fine even if I am not there . Even so… .

「Is there a problem?」 (Mitsuha)

「「「「「 Princess Shrine Maiden-sama! 」」」」」

5 people appeared from the back of the stalls after hearing my voice .

No, you didn’t practiced it, did you?

「And, who are you?」(Mitsuha)

「Oh, that, we, we are the ones who controls this area, we are from Avalo group!」

One of the thugs answers desperately .

「Philip-kun, give me 4 explosive corn . 」 (Mitsuha)

I received 4 bags of popcorn which was made in a hurry, and gave it to the thugs with a smile .
「If these children are in trouble, please help them,」 (Mitsuha)

The 3 thugs who each personally receive the popcorn with a bright red face, silently nodded .
After giving the popcorn to the thugs one bag at a time, she kept the remaining one for herself .
「Are these confectioneries… ( 私が考えたお菓子ですの。) – It’s-lt’s delicious . 」 (Thug)

The thugs walk away, after bowing their heads many times .

With this, the story will also be conveyed to the other members of Avalo group, and there will be no one trying mess with our stall . All right, all right . (TN: she said it twice)

…… So, what with this amount of people?

「Pri, princess shrine maiden-sama, please take responsibility and help us… . 」 (Philip)

Phillip-kun is crying .

But, are you sure about that?

I can help…… .

But if I help, I think the line will get even more longer .

And eventually, the kids saw the h.e.l.l .

Rumors like,『you can eat homemade cooking made by the Princess Shrine Maiden』, and also『you can receive homemade cooking handed to you personally by Princess Shrine Maiden』spreads . (TN: Is the popcorn considered a candy? coz wherever I look all I get is sweets . )

that’s why many people came together to the plaza .

I told you so… .

Sales itself did not change, because it is until we used-up all the ingredients anyway .
But, choosing between selling it (relaxing) upto 7 hours, or selling it within 2 hours (h.e.l.l mode) .

 
I will choose the former……

But, if everyone says that the latter is better, I will not stop them .

Would you stop saying, [If only you said it] and [If you knew about it] .

 
And she was complaining in her mind with a teary eye .

 
I didn’t know… it’s true!… . (TN: d.a.m.n, the s.h.i.+fting from 1st person to 3rd person view is just…)

 
On the way back, Mitsuha muttered .

 
「So then, if you bring three times the ingredients today and sell it at the same pace…」 (Mitsuha)

「「「「「Oh G.o.d, Please, no~~~!！」」」」」 (Children) (TN: poor sla . . I mean kids . . )

It’s a commission, so I’ll leave that up to you, yeah .

 
Well, tomorrow I’ll leave it to the children and check the orphanage and my territory .

 
The next day, I’m at my parents house in the morning .
I checked the mails and postal items, showed my face to my neighbors, then bought oth.e.l.lo, shogi and a bicycle .

I did various other things in the morning and then went back to the territory to have lunch . Of course, along with what I bought .

「Good afternoon, Randy-san . Can you make something like this? 」 (Mitsuha)
Because it was all of a sudden, Randy-san, is making a doya face . (blank white eyes with black circle in the middle)

I gave (pushed) the bike that I bought this morning, onto him . (TN: more like you shoved it up his A** . ) It’s a cross-country bicycle . (TN: cross bike for short . )

「Wha, what is this?」 (Randy)

Randy was surprised, when I ride the bike then began explaining things about it .
「I’m not asking you make this from scratch, but can you fix it if it breaks down?」(Mitsuha) (TN: talk about tall order . )

Randy was surprised, when I ride the bike then began explaining things about it .
「I’m not asking you make this from scratch, but can you fix it if it breaks down?」(Mitsuha) (TN: talk about tall order . )

I asked, but Randy vigorously shook his head .

「That’s impossible . First of all, (the hollow pipe part) I cannot create such a strong thin pipe . If it gets broken and repaired, that part will be reinforced with iron sticks and becomes heavier and the overall strength cannot be maintained either . Even worse is this gear part . You can’t get such strength, with how thin it is . The tooth will get chipped and then the traction of the gear will be lost . And there’s no way I can make a chain like this . ……」 (Randy) (TN: poor guy)

It’s useless… .
I wanted to bring a bicycle, if only we could make individual parts and repair it … .
If it is a cross bike, on a paved road, it should be able to cruise from 25 to 30 km/h . Since your energy drops due to air resistance, by increasing the speed from around 30 km/h, it would better to settle at 25 km/h . (TN: physics… anyone?)
Even if we didn’t have paved road, it is where the horse-drawn carriage runs, and if it didn’t get muddy from the rain, it should be able to produce a decent speed .
During the party, I asked the Lords living along the highway, a little about road maintenance .
Well, the traffic will increase from now on, so road maintenance are essential for the carriages .

Then, by putting the subst.i.tute staff at the halfway point between the royal capital and sea side villages the trip would be shorter .
If you leave the village carrying the fish caught on that day with about 40 inside the bags and rear carrier bags in the evening, you will arrive at the middle point by dawn and then transferring it to the subst.i.tute, you will reach the royal capital by evening .
Estimated distance is about 140 kilometers each, if it is 12 hours, it includes 1 hour of a large meal break, 2 breaks of 30 minutes . The average speed is 14 km/h with small breaks, so it should be possible to get to the royal capital in 24 hours with a good margin . (TN: orz I never thought that I’ll be dealing with physics in this novel . )

If the bicycle can be used, raw fish will be delivered by dinner of the next day .

Summer may be difficult for travel, but from autumn to early spring, you should keep the fish well wrapped in a cloth and connecting with a container filled with water, due to capillary phenomenon and running wind it will cause heat of vaporization … (流石に夏は難しいかも知れないけれど、秋から春先にかけては、魚を布で包み水のはいった容器と繋いで、毛細管現象と走行による風で気化熱を利用すれば、充分保つはずなんだけど……。) (TN: brain cells, about 5 remaining were still alive . )

Will my bike going to be disposable, without Earth’s maintenance support …?

I thought about it and I felt depressed… .

Oh no, because I’m so depressed, Mr . Randy is pretty hesitated!
「No, because the basic technology is different from our country, it cannot be helped . so please, don’t worry about it!」 (Randy)

Aw, is that so, that’s too bad!
Oh, right I almost forgot!
「(Ne~e nē) Randy-san, the apprentice will come from the capital please take care of him . 」 (Mitsuha)

You must be glad to have a disciple . right? .
「Eh… . ?」 (Randy)

「An 11-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl . take care of them because both are talented, so I’m looking forward to it!」 (Mitsuha)

Eh?……
Wait, why are you getting more and more depressed?

(1) . This one is not in the raw but it gets confusing without it .
