Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 197

197. Society 2

I beckoned to Colette-chan to come to my side. And…

“This is my sister, Colette. Please get along with her” (Mitsuha)

“My name is Colette, please take care of me!” (Colette-chan)

” ” ” ” ” “…………” ” ” ” ” “

No reply was returned to Colette-chan’s cheerful greeting.

It’s not as if she was being ignored. It’s just that everyone’s eyes were so focused on Colett-chan, they just fell completely silent.

…Super beautiful girl.

Until now, many people turned their eyes, glancing towards Colette-chan. However, if you look straight from the front like this…

Of course, Colette-chan is lively and cute, but that is all about her [Cuteness as a child], she’s not that angelic like a top breeder‘s work who can make the daughters of senior nobles to be captivated by her.

So, how can this happen then…

Right, of course, it’s makeup.

In Japan, on the first floor of a department store, I paid a professional to put a natural makeup on her. I spared no money, so the material is good, and the beauty staff oneesans were overjoyed in high spirit. As a result, an earthly angel has been created.

Let’s worship Colette-chan’s face carefully…

“Here!” (Mitsuha)

Colette-chan rubs her face with the wet towel that I handed her. A cotton towel with water-type cleansing agent. And the result…

” ” ” ” ” “Eh………” ” ” ” ” “

There is an ordinary girl who is cute but not so unusual. The girls who looked at the transformation putting on their astonished expression.

“If you join this [Society], you will gain access to all of this cosmetics and makeup technologies…” (Mitsuha)

Yup, I don’t have the technique to replicate what they did to Colette-chan, but it doesn’t mean I don’t know how to apply makeup at all. I’ve only done it once though.

Because my family were live in a rural town, a vendor gave us a short course for free in high school before the graduation.

It was around an hour and a half course, but it was divided into boys group and girls group. The boys were given suits and manners course. And for the girls, we were given the makeup course.

Of course, it was free, but it was not a volunteer event, they do that kind of event to gain customers in the future.

If you used cosmetics for the first time and learned how to apply makeup with them, then it is highly likely that you will be buying from the same manufacturer next time.

Of course, there are many graduates who go to the city, but some remain in the local area or return after graduated from a college in the city, so that kind of event is cheap and effective as an investment for the future.

There are also job-hunting groups, so the school is very welcoming as it is for the students’ benefit. And it’s free. It’s a win-win relationship because it’s also very helpful for the students.

So that’s why I know the basics. I actually did it only once though.

Well, in preparation for this, I searched some books and articles on the internet, printed out the completed sample image, and now I showed the actual sample and proved it, so no one would doubt the effect.

After that, let’s look for the simple tutorial and sample photos and have them study for themselves.

Now then, how’s the effect of the demonstration…

…it’s an overkill. It has become a hell of pandemonium…

And then I confirmed their intention whether they will join [Society] or not…

Yeah, you don’t have to ask the results.

And lastly, I asked to measure the finger size of the members who wanted to join… in other words, everyone.

I didn’t explain anything, but there’s no one who doesn’t know what it is for.

…right, to make rings.

A symbol to show our unity and pride of fellowship, just like club rings or college rings.

And everyone who wears it is a comrade and a companion to help each other.

Things like this is not very popular in Japan, so I will order from American vendor.

Unlike ordinary rings, they will be engraved with a lot of different characters, and I want to order a lot of them, so if I were to order them from a shop that isn’t used to it and doesn’t have the know-how, it will be expensive. If it’s just the manufacturing technology, the ones in Japan is enough though…

Well, the main reason I will not order them in japan is because if I spend money in japan, I have to remit the used money from abroad to replenish it, and in order to do that I have to sell art pieces, which means a huge tax. So, I have decided to place an order abroad.

However, because the characters to be engraved are special, they might be treated as patterns rather than characters, which can be quite expensive. …Damn!

And just like that, the 0th tea party is over.

All the participants received sweets, shampoo and rinse mini travel bottles, 300ml bottles of brandy, and cosmetics for practice. Now they can practice by themselves and place an order if they like.

Including the club rings, it costed me a lot, but that’s not a problem, as I’m getting enough money from Rephilia trade.

Well then, disband!

“Mitsuha, more than half of the daughters who joined the [Society] came to me while crying…” (Mitchan)

“Eeeh! Not those who declined at the invitation stage, but who already joined? J-just why…” (Mitsuha)

It’s been three days since then, and just when I came to Mitchan’s home, she told me such a ridiculous thing.

What exactly happened…

“The cosmetics they brought back for practicing were taken away by their mothers or elder sisters and haven’t been returned…” (Mitchan)

Ah…

“I will prepare the replacements immediately…” (Mitsuha)

I guess I can’t be helped. It’s the so-called [There’s no little sister who is better than the elder sister!] or [There’s no daughter who is better that her mother!].

“Also, the portraits… the ones you called [Photos], everyone has ordered for it. Even though you haven’t said the price… I guess they’re fine no matter how much the asking price is. How much are you going to charge them?” (Mitchan)

Ah, as expected.

And I thought there was no word [Portrait] in the old continent, so I said [Photo], but I should’ve just said [Portrait] instead…

“And there are exploding rumors about the [Society], so there is a flood of membership applications!” (Mitchan)

Yeah, well, naturally…

“And among them, there’s the name of Her Highness the Princess…” (Mitchan)

“Pass!” (Mitsuha)

“I thought so…” (Mitchan)

Mitchan seems to have predicted that I would refuse the Princess to join.

Obviously. The presence of the Princess cannot be denied or rejected, that way the Princess, or rather, the King can use the [Society] for his interest. That’s definitely bad.

However, in anticipation for such a thing, I created a convenient rule. That is [Unless all the members unanimously concurred, no one can join]…

The one who disagreed would be unknown, but as long as it isn’t unanimous, then it’s too bad.

The measure to confront those who abuses their power is perfect.

And if the other party is using hard measures, I’ll leave, Mitchan resigns and retires, and then set up another social gathering. Under a new organization name such as [] or [].

I wonder how many people will remain in an organization where all the merits disappeared and became a place for pushing the powers.

And what if there is a new organization that inherits many benefits just like the old one?

Yes, the organization named [Society] would bot be possible without the presence of Viscount Yamano, there’s nothing to worry. In other words, taking over the [Society] is virtually impossible.

Mitchan also excludes those who are likely to try to take control of the [Society] and removed those who are capable of doing so since the initial invitation. And those whose age is too far off from ours. Of course, I thought about that much.

…Well, no matter who plans what, the moment I left, everything will be over.

“Next time, at the 1st tea party, we will do the secret ballot. …well, I already know the result because two votes will be negative.” (Mitsuha)

Mitchan raised the corners of her mouth a little.

Yeah, she aware of everything. As expected of the daughter of a senior noble.

“Anyway, please hurry the cosmetics delivery. Otherwise, if there’s a big difference between the members at the next tea party, it’ll be terrible…” (Mitchan)

It’s exactly as Mitchan said. For a noble daughter, this would be a pretty big deal. If things went poorly, it might really rain blood.

“Aye-aye, ma’am!” (Mitsuha)
