Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

134 . Persuasion

Thats why Im telling you, I also have my own circumstances and privacy, and theres also other work! (Mitsuha)

For example? (Sabine-chan)

D-Dating? (Mitsuha)

Youre lying! (Both Lolis)

How rude of you!

Anyway, Im in unfavorable situation .

Its troubling

Colette-chan is going to be Komatta-chan . (Note: [Komatta] = Bother/Inconvenience)

What should I do?

Updated from novelhall[.]com

Cant be helped, lets tell them the truth Only a part .

Okay, Ill show you what Im doing!

With that said, hold their hands and transfer .

H-Here is (Sabine-chan)

There are the flustered Sabine-chan and the silent Colette-chan, unable to grasp the situation .

The three of us appeared in a-little-more-than-a-meter-square narrow space with no windows . Theres a light slit at the top, so its not dark, but theres no lighting . There is only one door .

Right, this is a part of the gallery caf [Gold Coin] . Its a small box retrofitted to the wall behind the store .

I made it for transfer purpose .

In the building, the first floor is for the shop and the second floor is for Rudinas living space .

Rudina only uses one room and the others are empty . We store foodstuffs, equipment we dont usually use, and spare dishes in one of those empty room in place of the storeroom .

But if I suddenly appeared on the second floor and went downstairs, it would be overtly suspicious . So, I made this external space for transfer .

Even if others see me coming in and out of here, they wouldnt know that this is just a small empty space, they can only think that this is the back door to the store . And the odds for that to be seen by Rudina or Silua are very low .

Yeah, a perfect camouflage .

Well, follow me! (Mitsuha)

I opened the door, pull both of them out by hands . Then I turned around and moved to the front of the store .

The transfer space is not locked from the outside . If I did that, I wont be able to come out the next time I transfer . Its empty anyway, so I dont have worry about anything being stolen . But I have a hook latch installed inside . Well, just for my piece of mind .

Tadaah! This is the gallery caf [Gold Coin], the fourth base of the Yamano Viscount Family, following the general store Mitsuha, territory residence, and my home in Japan! (Mitsuha)

Eeeeeeeehh!! (Both Lolis)

At the front of the store, I introduced the store to the two . And then took them inside .

Oh, Owner, do you need anything? (Silua)

Inside the store, there is Silua who is in the middle of arranging the dishes on shelves . Rudina seems to have gone to the food store for a final check .

No, Im just going to show my friends around, so dont worry, just keep preparing (Mitsuha)

With that said, I start guiding Sabine and Colette around the shop .

After showing the store-related rooms on the first floor, we went to the second floor . However, Im not showing the inside of Rudinas room . As expected, no matter if I am the owner, I cant afford to enter someones room without permission .

Hm . (Sabine-chan)

Because it was a small shop, the guide was over shortly . And Sabine and Collette have subtle expressions .

Yeah, first of all, from the conversation between me and Silua, they know that this is not my country . Because we were speaking in unknown words for them . And theres a lot of shop-related things here, like cookware and tableware, but theres nothing like TV or DVD or anything else they might be interested in . There arent many [fun things] like the home in Japan . So, apparently, they didnt like it .

Then, well go to the next one (Mitsuha)

Eh? (Both Lolis)

Then we leave the store and went to the transfer room at the back of the store . Lock properly from the inside and transfer!

This is Yamano Familys fifth base, [Yamano Product Store]! (Mitsuha)

Eh (Both Lolis)

This time, its [Yamano Product Store], my base in the capital city of Vanel Kingdom on the new continent .

And the place we arrived at was an empty room on the second floor of the shop . Tentatively, this is the room where I live .

Theres nothing (Sabine-chan)

Sabine says disappointedly, but this room is just a place for transfer . Its the same as the retrofitted transfer box at the gallery caf [Gold Coin] .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

We went down to the first floor, but it still in pre-opening state so there are only samples of items that usually sold in our home country and some [High quality Japanese products that are not strange even if its exist in this world] . Jewelry and accessories arent stored here except during business hours to prevent theft .

boring (Colette)

Collete didnt like the two new bases of the Yamano Viscount Family .

Well, this store has very few Earths items . And [Gold Coin] is just a food store .

And they can neither understand the language of this country nor the language of the country where [Gold Coin] is in . That means they cant go anywhere and do anything without an interpreter . It would be much more fun for them to be in the general store Mitsuha or the home in Japan rather than in these two places .

Sabine and Collette cant play with me every time, right? Sabine-chan is studying manners as a princess, while Colette is studying various things from Miriam, Rachel, and Anton . Just like that, I have a lot of work that I have to do alone . Most of them are boring things and things that you dont want to do . (Mitsuha)

(Both Lolis)

Alright, they seemed to understand . Now I can leave them for a while!

The people in the new continents dont have social parties every day, and I dont sleep in the shop either, the store isnt for making money anyway, so I have to open it occasionally when I have thing to do there .

The top priority right now is to open the gallery caf [Gold Coin]!

The gallery cafe [Gold Coin] has finally opened .

We dont do big promotions, events, bargains, etc . in particular . Theres nothing satisfactory with trying to attract customers temporarily . It would be enough to start with a plain and normal shop then slowly become a well-known shop with the city .

The shop is left to Rudina and Silua, and I dont talk too much . The manager is Rudina, and Im just the owner . So, I just gently watch them from behind .

Since it opened without advertising, there is no queue or crowd of customers before opening . Both of them doesnt have to worry even if customers dont come for a few days after opening, this store does not have to consider internal reserves and retained earnings if it can cover expenses and pay salaries to everyone .

It is troublesome if the deficit is too large, but it is fine if it is a little . There is no leverage in forward trading or forex margin trading, and there is no huge loss in a small caf . At that rate, I can cover as much as I earn in the new continent . Theres no problem if the earnings from that store goes into my personal assets rather than the territory budget .

It is not good to make money in the enemy country, so I should refrain from handling a lot of gold, jewelry and other supplies, but given the state-wide budget, my personal budget would be slightly affected .

It would be fine if the original purpose of [Gold Coin], that is, to bring foreign currency to Japan by legitimate means under Yamano Mitsuhas account, could be fulfilled .

I think that Japanese taxes and other related stuffs are about to halve my money, but I still need the living expenses for about 10 years until I cant falsify my age anymore and have to leave Japan, then I need the funds for buying things I need to bring to the other world wait, does it have to be brought by the regular route?

I wont use it for my livelihood in Japan, so I dont have to worry how my income should be brought to Japan . In the first place . Its not my income .

Alright, this is not tax evasion!

I dont have to be honest about how I spend my money anyway, this is not tax evasion, not by any means!

Alright, I gently looked into the store through the window from the outside, but there seems to be no particular problem .

well, there is no problem because there are no customers yet .
