Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

176 . Confusion 1

wa-wait! What a selfish thing to do (Marquis-sama)

After a moments delay in response, the Marquis hurriedly shouted .

His Majesty the King says he want to have an audience with you to talk about that matter (Marquis-sama)

Haha~n, so thats the reason . And they tried to summon me to the royal palace via Rephilia too

But why does he have such a high-pressure attitude? He shouldve told me normally, What was the reason he tried to take the reins to make me unable to refuse?

He seems to have something behind

Then, one reply from me!

I refuse! (Mitsuha)

eh? (Marquis-sama)

I stopped, turn around, and answer to marquis-sama who has a blank face .

Well, I guess hes not accustomed to being refused immediately .

Because Im not the Kings vassals here, so I dont have to listen to any order or the sham that you called invitation . Also, I would be trouble if I met a king of another country in [My current position] and he made various requests and orders to [Me in my current position] (Mitsuha)

Ah (Marquis-sama)

To my words, marquis-sama seems to have something comes to mind .

Yup, Ive always put a lot of hints at the ends of my words .

Just now Im claiming the status of a lower aristocrat, and thats not a lie because I have the title, but the way I talk was hinting that it have a subtle meaning that [I cant accept it], as if I have another status, that is, my status as [a member of the royal family] .

Therefore, I made the king of this country to assume that [The royals of the other country will not obediently accept such things like one-sided request or orders with a high-pressure attitude, just like a lower noble . So I cant have an audience with the king of this country with my current identity] .

And I havent lied about anything . Its the other side faults if theyre misunderstanding my honest and true words .

(Marquis-sama)

And marquis-sama become speechless because he cant return anything to my proper explanation .

Alright, time to deliver the finishing strike!

If youre still saying something unreasonable like that, Ill consider searching another reasonable faction or move my trading base to another country (Mitsuha)

Wha! (Marquis-sama)

Marquis-sama, who already have a pale expression, Is now turned even paler .

yeah, it would be bad if I were to move onto another faction or to another country because of his poor decision .

Well then, Ill excuse myself (Mitsuha)

After saying that to Marquis-sama, I smiled at Mitchan who was observing silently with her crying face .

See you later, Mitchan! (Mitsuha)

Yeah, this is my declaration of intention I still want to be a friend with Mitchan even if Im in discord with marquis-sama . Because I didnt make friends with Mitchan because shes marquis-samas daughter .

In fact, it was the other way around .

I dont care such things like ranks . My friend was a kind, proud tsundere girl who kindly reached out to me, who was in trouble at that time . Marquis-sama was just an extra where he [Happened to be the father of my friend] .

Yes, Marquis-sama was able to [get acquainted with me through his daughter], not the other way around . And the smart Mitchan immediately understood my intention and smiled awkwardly . She slightly waved her right hand around her waist . its the so-called [good evening] .

I also slightly waved my hand around my waist .

Alright, withdraw!

Aaaaaaah, I screwed up! I really screwed up this time! (Marquis-sama)

Marquis Mitchell was screaming while holding his head after Mitsuha left the mansion .

But it cant be helped, can it! Ive never dealt with a girl of tender age from another country! And until now, we usually speak as a Marquis and a Viscount, at times, I felt awkward, but I more or less used honorifics So why she suddenly has that hardened attitude (Marquis-sama)

At first, His daughter, Micheline, was not present when the Marquis and Mitsuha were talking . The Marquis wanted to take advantage of Mitsuha, so he did not want to show it to his daughter . But, Micheline, who had heard that Mitsuha had disappeared from society and her product store, heard that Mitsuha had come to visit and immediately came to the reception to listen to most of the story . She had never got in between the two when they were having conversation between the heads of noble families, but

Now, as her [Friend], she has much more influence over Mitsuha than her father, who is now being disregarded by Mitsuha . So she slammed her fathers words without hesitation .

how foolish of you, dear father Of course shes going to be offended because you planned to do something weird . Mitsuha is, despite her usual attitude, quick in the uptake . Otherwise, she would not have been dispatched to collect information as an advance detachment that will influence the future policy of their sophisticated country . Perhaps, she was raised as [a dagger for practical use], different from her princess sisters that were raised for political marriages . However, she was not raised as a tool, but with plenty of affection . Dear father, just how did you fail to notice that much, even though youve been talking to Mitsuha until now? (Mitchan)

Shocked .

Marquis Mitchell was stunned .

But thats not because of her thoughts on Mitsuha .

Its because his dear daughter, Micheline, said [How foolish of you]

Until now, she always respected him as a marquis, and whenever he was in the mansion, she always followed himself . And, that cute Micheline said, [How foolish of you]

It was as if the world had collapsed for him .

And the peculiar moment, where it was the first time for his daughter to turn her back towards him for her dear [Friend] .

That is the moment when his daughter flew away from her cage to the open world .

Joyous .

It shouldve been a joyous moment, but he lamented it very much, that he cant control the regrets that sprung up

by the way, who was the girl who was with Mitsuha earlier? (Mitchan)

Huh? (Marquis-sama)

Colette-chans official introduction to Marquis Mitchell was likely to be postponed

Mitsuha, that person from earlier, wasnt he your caretaker in this country? Is that okay? (Colette-chan)

Collet asked me anxiously, but theres no problem .

I havent signed an agreement, and I dont owe him anything either On the contrary, I gave him various delicious things just because hes my friends father . If he misunderstands it and get carried away, I can just sever the connection with him . (Mitsuha)

Oh, he was just around that level, I see . I was just thinking that his position is completely different from my lord (Colette-chan)

Eh?

Oh, sorry, I was talking about Count Bozes! (Colette-chan)

Colette-chans current lord is this me! I wont allow cheating!

Anyway, I just said to Marquis-sama that [If he keeps pushing unreasonable things, I will look for another caretaker from another faction or move my trading base to another country] .

I said that [If he keeps doing it (More than this)] then [Im going to move out], I didnt say that Itll be right now or that Im already moved out . If he can rethink and stop pushing, we can leave it as it is . Its not like I get along with Mitchans dad because I wanted to .

But I already have some good-natured nobles and large merchants acquaintances with fairly strong factions . The one who get to choose is me!

And Im really considering making my move in the neighboring countries .

Rather than exporting from this country to neighboring countries, Its better to establish bases in each countries and build up a firm such as the Rephilia trade in each country to take over their substantial control . Not by ownership or legal rights, but by seizing the absolute right of their life-and-death such as [If you dont hear what I say, Ill stop trading with you and wholesale the goods to other firms] .

Yes, just like the Rephilia trades case, I have no legal or financial liability, but I can still do everything I want with all of their assets at any time .

In case of an emergency, I can conspire with the other foreign firms behind the scenes, however I want .

Yeah, this is it!

Aim to become an underground economic state, the evil great empire!

The name of the organization, [Foundation]!

Necrime,Gorgom,Jamatai Kingdom,Hyakki Empire,Shocker,Panther Claw,Black Flag .

(Note: too much reference to explain . In short, those are fictional evil organization . Just in case, Ill just link every respective manga/anime . )

Mmmm, my dreams are expanding
