Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 23
“In the name of the creator Corona and the Magic Device Brunzel, Strike and smash Goliath!!” Picture by
Chiri Rin
Oh, it’s a bad guy.
Mitsuha thought so the moment she saw the customer came in.
A pretty much saying “I’m definitely the bad guy” very fat man accompanied by three people.
「Are you the shopkeeper?」
See.
「Hand over the rights and purchase routes of this shop. Hmm, I’ll take you as well」
Wow~, what is this! No laws or anything! Even if someone looks like a child, you wouldn’t do that. I astonished at the excessive boldness. How much does he underestimate society. Is he a very powerful person who can do anything through connections and money?
「Umm, excuse me, but who are you?」
I’ll ask just in case.
「What, you don’t know me? This is what happens when a someone like a lass dabbles in business… Well fine, I’ll tell you. I’m Nelson Adler, President of the Adler Firm!」
「Oh, of that Adler Firm!!」
Never heard of you at all.
「That’s right. This store seems to deal with fish, something call shampoo, and other unusual things. It seems to be promising even though it’s new. I’ll take it off your hands so be thankful」
Yea yea, that’s what you want. Did the pressure of Earl-sama not reach the merchants?
「Umm, there are business partners to consider so can you please come again at the same time tomorrow? We’ll call our business partner…」
「Umu, understood」
Maybe because they were in a good mood because the unreasonable request went through easily, Nelson and his men went back in good humor. He probably thought about putting pressure in various places if I refuse anyway. Did he think that I quickly gave in after thinking it was no good now that the Adler Firm is targeting me, did you think Mitsuha was a big idiot. Buss, never go that easily.
Besides, although I said 「We’ll call our business partner」, nobody said 「supplier」.

「Mitsuha-neesama, I’m here~」
「So you came~」
Un, so you come today too, for the regular service.(定期便)
No, she comes every day, Sabine-chan.
At first she called me 『Mitsuha-sama』but as the result of my persuasion of “stop it, my head will fly if someone hears the princess calls me sama”, and some twists and turns, we settled on 『Mitsuha-neesama』. 『Neesama』is one word, and it’s 『sama』isn’t a problem, is the Sabine theory.
Sabine-chan quickly comes around to this side of the counter.
There is a small TV and DVD player here. Of course, it’s not visible from the customer side, and it is suspended as soon as a customer comes. A customer who enters the store at a bad time gets Sabine-chan’s 『I will kill you!』 glare. It’s unreasonable.
Sabine-chan comes every day, when I ran out of topics because I can’t talk about Japan too much and was in trouble, I carelessly turn them on and the counter’s TV and the DVD player got found out.
I couldn’t fool the hyper 『what’sthiswhat’sthiswhat’sthiswhat’sthis!!』Sabine-chan, and it came to watching it together. However, 『Magic Mirror. It brokes if someone tells it’s secret』to silence her, just in case the first things I chose to show her was something like『the little witch who loses her magic when her true identity is revealed』 and 『a story about breaking a promise and losing everything』. No, sadly it worked!
But of course, for Sabine-chan who do not understand Japanese, I must translate and dub it. This is super tough(翻訳せずに済む), I’m relieved when it gets to a transformation scene or deathblow scene.
「Oh, Sabine-chan, please give this to the Prime Minister as soon as you return. It is a very important letter, so do not forget about it」
Although Sabine-chan is a tomboy, she a clever girl. Not someone who would fail such a request. Maybe she noticed something, she says “Un” with a serious expression while securing the letter as something important.
Chiri Rin
「Girl, I brought you a transfer agreement, sign it already」
You’re flying right from the start(初っぱなから飛ばしてますねぇ), Nelson-san!
「Mitsuha-neesama, who is this?」

Sabine-chan asked, replying from behind me.
Having just turned 10 years old, Sabine-chan has not reached the public’s eyes yet. And there was also the frugal clothes for incognito, although she’s a beautiful girl, she does not seem like royalty.
「Un, a important person from a big business, he says he wants to take me…」
「Eh~, Mitsuha-neesama’s leaving, nooo~!」
Sabine-chan, a actress’…
No, here it’s 『Sabine, a fearsome child!!』 I guess。
At the entrance of the beautiful girl who exceeds the norms of nobles, Nelson’s face obscenely loosens.
「Ho, if you don’t want to leave your sister so badly, you can come along with your sister」
「Really!」
Jumping joyfully at Nelson’s invitation is Sabine-chan.
And as Nelson-san’s wide grin got stronger…
Chiri Rin
「My apologies, did you wait?」
「Wha, Prime Minister-sama!!」
A shocked Nelson Adler.
Un, all the actors are here.
「I’m sorry to bother you, Saar-san」
「No, if it’s Mitsuha-dono invitation, I’ll come flying anytime」
(Wha! She calls the Prime Minister by name! And what’s with the Prime Minister’s humble attitude!)
Nelson began to be engulfed in a bad premonition
「Actually, this person asked me to give up this store free of charge. And he said he wanted to take me together with her… Therefore, I’ll likely to be compelled to decline the request from the King…」
「Oh? What is this about, Adler-dono?」
He pierces with a below-freezing glare.
「Wha, no, that……」
A sweating nonstop Nelson.
「Obstructing a merchant who the King has asked directly, demanding to unlawfully give away a store without payment, and blackmailing a very young girl to become one’s possession」
「Eh…, ah…, no, such a thing……」
Having his blood vanishing, Nelson passed bluish and now became whitish.
「You mean, “that’s not it”?」
「Y, yes, of course!」
「So, you won’t have anything to do with this store or the store’s staff from now on directly and indirectly?」
「Yes, I swear to the goddess!」
「Then, if there is any interference towards this shop in the future, I’ll ask Adler-dono deal with them. All the departments will receive strict instructions」
「Y, yes!!」
With this, the Adler Firm is obligated to monitor and assume responsibility for not only their subsidiaries but also all commercial parties in the capital to not meddle with General Store Mitsuha. If a disturbance is overlooked or neglected, who knows what kind of punishment will be handed down by the Prime Minister.
But at the moment Nelson complexion came back a little from being relieved that through carrying a heavy burden he managed to escape from the biggest crisis in his life.
「Oh, Adler-dono. The people from the Adler Firm do not have to come to the royal palace tomorrow. All of your firm’s persons will have their permission to enter at all times revoked」
「What……」
Nelson becomes pale again.
No entry to the royal palace means for the royal palace supplier: royal supplier Adler Firm, more than a decrease in sales.(王宮御用達、 御用商人であるアドラー商會にとっては売り上げ減少どころの話ではない。) Loss of credit. Laughing stock among fellow merchants. The damage is immeasurable no matter if you’re called the capital’s, no the kingdom’s number 1 major dealer.
「Wh, why is something like that……」
“Wasn’t becoming responsible for suppressing the other merchants concerning this store the terms of the atonement”, thought Nelson.
「Oh, about that? I don’t think even the most gentle king would want to see the face of the man who tried to obtain his young daughter or his companions」
「Wh?」
「Now, let’s return, Princess Sabine」
「Eh ~, I wanted to play with Mitsuha-neesama more~」
After the Prime Minister left dragging the reluctant Sabine-chan, only man who collapsed on the floor remained.
The president of the Adler Firm retiring and leaving everything to his son was something that happened a short while after.
Do not touch General Store Mitsuha.
It was a little later that Nelson’s blood vomiting cry reached all the merchants of the capital, no the kingdom.
「Hey Sabine-chan, would you like to succeed my 『Kurenai ken’nyou』 title」
「No way! It somehow feels unpleaset. Mitsuha-neesama, you want to push it on me to just relinquish that title」
What excellent senses! Sabine, a fearsome child!!

Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry. This series originally started on r/HFY, [Link] but I decided to post it here since people are so positive about it! Posting rate is, and likely will continue to be, rather inconsistent.

Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Now, as he's about to have enough money to take them to safety, he receives an email from his old girlfriend ... which is remarkable, considering she's been presumed dead for years.

He convinces himself that it has to be a computer virus of some kind until he discovers something terrifying: the video might link his sister to the worst night of his life, the night his girlfriend went missing, the night of "The Red Christmas". Then he realizes this could be a threat; his sister's life could be in danger. As he starts to investigate who sent the video, Adam begins to uncover dark truths about his neighbors and finds evidence that there might be a larger conspiracy at play. The problem is that he's starting to suffer from hellish hallucinations that make him question what is real. Soon, the only clear thing to him is that someone doesn't want him to dig up the past.
