Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 70

I made a mistake in the last chapter… she is in the orphanage when she asked for the coach personnel…….

In the end, 3 of them, including the replacements, were made into personnel.

Two boys and one girl.

Usually I stay in the orphanage, and when necessary I’ll call them to the shop immediately.

How do I call them, you ask?

No, they are waiting for me to give work, and also two or three children are always hanging around the shop….

I have given you money so that you can train yourselves before coming to the capital.

You can also take care of the horse, right?

The director had a creepy smile from beginning, probably because he had a huge profit from a mysterious woodcarving doll.

….You’re a selfless cleric, aren’t you?

You haven’t fallen into the dark side, right?

=====================

As I return to the territory, I thought to myself.

I don’t have to go to the capital for this coming socializing season, since the Earl is not going either.

The capital is in a big fuss anyway.

……So why do I need to go?

Well, there are various things for me to do there, such as reports and consultations to the King.

Miriam: 「Mitsuha-sama, there will be a tournament of the game board!」

Miriam-san pointed out.

…………Oh crap

…..I completely forgot.

Mitsuha: 「So, how many do you think will join?」

Miriam: 「The number of game boards shipped at the moment is 30,000, the expected number of participants is almost equivalent.」

Mitsuha: 「Eh….?」

Suddenly… Suddenly, a salad oil set. (呆然、サラダ油セット。) (TN: Reference?)

Mitsuha: 「Whaaat~did you saaaayy ?!」 (Nanji~yasoryaa~a~a!!)

According to Miriam-san’s guess, the predicted number of participants is about 87 %, before the invasion of the Kingdom of Vanel’s fleet.

Now after the invasion, it has risen to 98 %, or above.

Miriam: 「Because, you can talk a lot with the Princess Shrine Maiden of thunder, and you can stroke her head? And then, if the winner sells the prize of [A few hours of monopolization] to a noble or a big merchant, don’t you think it will earn them dozens or even hundreds of gold coins? Everyone who has the right to participate is determined to challenge themselves even if it’s useless.」

This is bad!

The Kingdom falls into chaos!

=====================

An emergency meeting, must be held.

Because I wanted to hear the thoughts of the ordinary people, it is a meeting where all the servants are gathered.

Mitsuha: 「……And so, regarding that situation, can someone come up with a way out?」

「「「「…………」」」」

Everyone, was dumbfounded.

Colette: 「Mitsuha, that’s reaping what you sow」

Mitsuha: 「Colette-chan, zip it, I know that! Think about the solution instead, please! 」

Everyone seems to thinking as hard as they can, but it seems that nobody came up with a good plan….

Noel: 「Ano~…….」

Oh, Noel-chan, who was about to be sold off under the name of [live-in domestic service], did any good plan come up?

Noel: 「Ano~, I’m wondering if it is better to think that, the people who do not participate gets something as well……」

Eh?……

Noel: 「Let’s say, if you have the right to participate but you didn’t, you can get something good, or you can do something nice, and so on.……」

Ge, genius ~tsu~tsu! ! (kiss sfx?)

Mitsuha: 「That’s it!」

=======================

After that, I continued the conference for a while, conducted a survey on how ordinary people thought I was, how much value and attractiveness they feel in what kind of things and services, and then switched to the meeting with only for the leaders .

Participants are Me, Miriam-san, Colette-chan, and the one who thought of this, Noel-chan.

Miriam: 「First, at the reception desk, I’ll hand out Mitsuha-sama’s illustration copy to the participants, along with the cut off a part of the game board’s brand. This eliminates multiple registrations. After that, each opponent will be selected appropriately, then the match will start and the loser will give the winner his/her copy. And then, the match will continue, the number of copies will accumulate more and more, and for those who won 4 times, they can exchange their 16 copies of the illustrations they collected, with a colored picture. 」

Colette: 「Yeah, that way, those who think that they are not good enough, will be willing to abstain from registering themselves, than to lose their copy. And for those who got a colorful picture, Mitsuha will shake hands in exchange for stamping a [Hanko] that cannot be used for the game, for example…….」

Oh, as expected Colette-chan, your mind is sharp!

Fortunately, detailed classification of prizes hasn’t been announced, so it can be changed.

To make it easier for the prize classification in the tournament, it would be better for the 3rd and 4th places to be the same, and the 5th through 8th places to be the same.

The handshake will be over soon, so we’ll sell it cheaply to reduce the number of matches.

Afterwards, a request to lend a shield from the king, he gave me a lot of soldiers to patrol the venue, preventing any trouble.

Should we use a lithographic print service for a large volume of printed materials?

It’s not lisograph, it’s lithograph.

Yeah yeah, I felt that somehow it was going to be….

…… Please, do something! !

=======================

The outline of the prize has been decided.

For the 1st place, the afternoon walk, shopping and a dinner and patting my head.

2nd place, a walk, shopping and also patting my head.

3rd to 4th place, lunch for about 1 hour. and patting my head.

5th to 8th places pinching my cheeks, and patting my head. (TN: That’s gotta hurt)

A handshake is given to the person who invalidates the colored picture (equivalent to 16 black and white copy) with a Hanko.

What is this..! !

Miriam-san, Colette-chan, Noel-chan, the three of you decided this.

Say, will everyone gonna be satisfied with that?

Is this true?….

Those who brought 16 colored pictures just to……

And then, those who went there and fought to the end…..

So that means we will kick out the ones who agreed to exchange, so then we’re not preparing any more items to redeem, aside from what we prepared.

Also, there are several kinds of lithographs. I thought they’re all the same and that the collector-like elements are also necessary.

Because there are few difficulties in just by using an image, then by using a photograph, to make a quality that [Modoki products] cannot be made. (TN: A shop maybe.)

Let’s ask the manager for the costume and the photographer.

I’ll use whatever I can, to cut the cost!

Later on, let’s sell it at a high price by assembling a full set of lithographs with a spare one.

And this, is my personal income, it feels so good!
