Chapter 169
169 . Sanction 1
We have arrived!
Lets get off the carriage and head to the party venue with Marquis Mitchell .
Since its my first time visiting this place, my face is still not known, but there seems to be no gatekeeper, guard or guide who doesnt know Marquis Mitchell .
Following Marquis-sama, we went around to greet the organizers and key people . Some are new to me, and theres also some people that Ive already met at the other parties .
And everyone turned their head, glaring towards me
Scary!!
Well, maybe its about the imported products .
I guess there are some who want to bite into my business to make profit, but most of the attendee here are nobilities, not merchants . So, perhaps its not only about that, but also about [That] .
Its something like [I want to eat and drink delicious things] or [I want to get my hands on the trending items to maintain my status] .
Right, I carried a large quantities of spices even so, theyre not that much, but still, enough to meet the needs of the upper-class families . Spices arent consumed in large quantities like wheat, so if you buy them not only in Japan but also in other countries, it can be managed somehow, even if they purchased collectively in individual-scale rather than business-scale . There are also online orders So theres no need to be afraid of shortage of stock .
In the future, I want to circulate them among the commoners, so I dont want the spices to have the impression that theyre [Luxury goods that cant be easily obtained] .
However, the supply of liquors and high-quality ingredients has been squeezed that it escalates the market demand and stimulates the sense of high-class and luxury .
These goods have little to do with commoners because theyre not essential items in general, and there are enough lower-rank compatible products made in this country, so theres not much problem with shortage .
So, of course, Im going to make profits out of them, but other than that, I plan to use it as a convenient item that can be used in various ways, such as [inexpensive item for getting acquainted with the nobles] .
or that was the plan .
Marquis Mitchell cannot be stuck with me all the time . So, hes staying away from me and occasionally looks at me to check the situation from afar, but
People starts coming this way .
Pepper, caviar, exotic fruits, and liquor .
Everyone just looking for what theyre going to consume in their own home . And, attempting to investigate the market rate of precious metals and gems in my home country .
To those people, I said [If you want to trade, you can ask Rephilia Trade . I can introduce you if you want] . And in response to small requests like [Can I have some bottle of high-quality liquor for my enjoyment?], I replied, [I can arrange that if you send a gofer to my product store], and they were overjoyed .
I never talked about big promises, I just sprinkled my amiability and end the conversations safely . Perhaps Marquis Mitchell relieved to see that, and he looked away from me and moved a little further away . And at that time, [That] has arrived .
An evil-looking old man with a little moustache on his face .
An arrogant-looking young man .
And the six men who bringing their sword inside the party venue .
Right, theyre Count Wonrade and Viscount Efred which Ive been careful to avoid, the DQN group .
but why?
Just as usual, this morning, Ive hired a messenger boy, and confirmed that they would not attend .
The organizer averted his eyes when I briefly glared at him .
The DQNs were looking for me as soon as they arrived I can already guess what happened here .
Right, Ive been entrapped .
Are You Freaking Kidding Me?!?
When I thought I should go to the food corner, two of the six minions moved between me and the food corner! Damn!
The surrounding nobles and waiters have backed down a few steps, and theres no obstacle between me and the DQNs . This is completely a trap .
Alright, If they want to play this game, I shall take the invitation
Ladies and Gentlemen! (Mitsuha)
I turned my back toward the approaching DQNs and shouted loudly . They seem to be surprised and stopped on their track .

Apparently, I seem to have been deceived, trapped, and sold, so Ill take the liberty to leave . I am very displeased with this poor treatment, so I will renege all the promise that everyone has made with me . Well then, please excuse me! (Mitsuha)
With that said, I ran towards the window . I quickly opened window before someone managed to stop me, climbed up to the window frame, and jumped down to the garden . Because the floor surface of the building was quite high, the height would be more than 2 meters from the window frame .
Wha!! (the Crowds)
In the venue behind me, I heard a series of startling screams, but it doesnt matter . After my body fell from the window frame and out of everyones sight, Transfer! If I fall like this, I wouldve sprained my feet .
The landing point is in my Onichans room at home . The room has been slightly modified, that is, there are several futons laid on the bed to reduce the impact .
Right, although I can nullify the momentum, I still need to have some precautions in case of an emergency . During the Absolute Defense of the Royal Capital, I appeared on the pool table at Captain-sans place, and I cant forget the pain when the balls wedged into my legs!
Then I immediately went downstairs and to look for a particular present . I took the slightly stuck item and transferred to the product store!
Good evening! (Mitsuha)
And I came here .
The familiar, guard post next to the store .
This is some souvenirs (Mitsuha)
And I gave them a small cardboard box and a paper bag .
thank you as always tte, th-this is!! (Guard Uncle)
The guard uncles eyes shot open when he looked at the box he received .
Yes, those are 6 bottles of the slightly expensive brandy that Ive given them before .
Oooooh!! (the other 5 guards)
The other five uncles were also overjoyed .
Well, those are the goods that Marquis-sama liked after all .
Also, since theyre my neighbor, perhaps theyve already heard that Ive started the trade from their superiors . And high-quality liquors are included in the trade .
Since Ive started the import, you can show it to others or resell it and use it to earn extra money . Be careful not to be fooled, you should expect a reasonable price for them (Mtisuha)
Who would ever sell something like this!! (the guards)
Oh, is that so?
Also, Im going to be away for a while, since I seemed to have noticed something strange If theres anyone trying to sneak into the store, please put them all in jail (Mitsuha)
Please leave it to us!
And, just in case, I transferred the merchandise in the store along with the whole shelves . The destination is at my private warehouse in the Yamano Viscounty . There is always plenty of space available for such occasions .
The second floor is originally empty and does not have any earth items . So, the store is completely empty, like an abandoned house . Theres nothing there, to the extent that it would be still fine even if I didnt lock the door .
no, of course I locked the shop .
Alright, Ill leave the store for about a month!
