Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

177 . Confusion 2

What did you say! (the King)

The king slumped on his seat after hearing the reports from his subordinate .

The update from the Rephilia Trade is, just as usual, [we are still unable to reach her] . And from Marquis Mitchell is (the subordinate)

He was finally able to get in touch, but he angered the other party and parted herself from him, huh (the King)

Right . And the cause of their worsening relationship is (the Subordinate)

Because he took an overbearing attitude in order to make sure that she couldnt refuse to have an audience with me, theres no way I can get angry at him (the King)

The king, too, on top of that he had made a huge mistake in dealing with Mitsuha, the instruction he sent is also ended in a failed attempt, far from executing that instruction, it caused the Marquis to lost the mutual trust and interest which he had built up with Mitsuha until then . Rather than get angry, apologize should come first .

Well, Viscount Yamano has just returned . And she just went to greet Marquis Mitchell first . Next, she will drop by Rephilia Trade, the Bank, or her other acquaintances . Dont panic . If its through the Rephilia Trade, and if we pay close attention to the wordings, she will not refuse it unilaterally . Now isnt the time to panic . But I did something wrong for Marquis Mitchell . I have to think of something for the compensation (the King)

Eeeeehh!! Mitsuha-sama, you have a fight with Marquis Mitchell!? (Rephilia)

Yeah . If you dont get angry at such underestimating attitude, you will sully the womens dignity! (Mitsuha)

You shouldve just put up with it! (Rephilia)

I dropped by Rephilias place to tell her that I have officially returned here, and she was surprised when she heard that I have a discord with Marquis Mitchell . what an exaggeration .

Its not an exaggeration! Its a marquis, you hear, Marquis!! Even a power of 100 viscounts is incomparable with a Marquis!! (Rephilia)

Ah~, well, that is if [Im a viscount of this country] (Mitsuha)

Ah (Rephilia)

Rephilia calmed down a little but only a little .

Right, rank difference is absolute between the nobles in this country . The involvement of other nobles, great factions, royal palace, and great merchants . Theres a difference in political power, financial power, personal connections, and other powers .

but that doesnt matter to me .

In this country, I dont have territory, I dont have income reliant business, and I dont have human relations . When push comes to shove, all I have to do is to cut everything off, take the goods and move to another country .

But even if Im fine, what would Rephilia do? (Mitsuha)

Of course, I will leave the country with Mitsuha-san and re-launch [Rephilia Trade] in other countries! And well take all the gold coins away from the country that kicked us out! As long as Mitsuha-san still alive, Rephilia Trade will be revived no matter how many times it is! (Rephilia)

just as I expected from you! (Mitsuha)

Ahahahahaha (Mitsuha & Rephilia)

Yup, Rephilia has broken down happily

But, well, Marquis Mitchell aside . Mitchan Micheline is still my friend, its certain that she has taken care of me in various ways until now . I want to keep the status quo with her, just as always, that is, with a little preferential treatment . (Mitsuha)

I understand! (Rephilia)

Ummm, I guess its fine like this with the marquis

And, next is

So, hows the matter with the Royal Palace? (Mitsuha)

To my question, Rephilia has a troubled expression on her face .

Yes, about that matter, although they didnt make direct contact me, theyre persistently contacted me through my fatherEvery time I replied that I couldnt contact Mitsuha-san when he asked me [Please tell Viscount Yamano to have an audience with His Majesty], his complexion was (Rephilia)

Although they were conflicting opinions about the management policy of her fathers store, the Selz Company, its not necessarily that Rephilia has a bad relationship with her father . Its not like that her father was strictly kept Rephilia from being involved in the management of the company, its just that it was the norms in this country to let the son to succeed the company .

So, she feels sorry for her father that he is getting more and more involved with herself .

Alright then, heres one good news

Then, you can reply with my approval the next time they contacted you again . I decided to take it reluctantly because it was Rephilias request . And that the request came from Rephilias father, in other words, you can emphasize to the requester that it redounds on your fathers credit . (Mitsuha)

Eh, is that ok!? Thank you, I think itll save him the trouble! Thank you very much (Rephilia)

Yes Yes, Ill suit that much convenience if its for a family of my business associates!

I dont particularly want to meet the King of this country .

No, I dontreallywant to meet, and I have no reason to meet, but if the other side want to meet me, there must be a good reason, and I dont think theres anything good from making the king looks bad .

The best thing to do here is to meet him as a harmless daughter of a lower aristocrat from another country, who will never promise anything, without revealing her true status (laughs), and then cook up an uninteresting, specious story to get out of this situation .

But still, I wonder why Marquis Mitchell did such superfluous things Thats strange .

So, lets get into the main subject . We will do re-examination based on the actual sales data of the delivered products, and the subsequent purchase quantities . Then we will strengthen Rephilia Trades right to speak by narrowing down future wholesalers and prevent price collapse . And hows the stock status of the item I asked? (Mitsuha)

Right, my main business is more important than paying a courtesy visit to the King of this country

And the day of the audience with the king came .

Originally, I mightve been accompanied by Marquis Mitchell, but this time, I came here with Rephilias father referral rather than the Marquis . And its obviously strange for someone who might be a Viscount to be accompanied by a merchant of a mid-sized firm to attend the audience, so I came here alone .

Clad in a dress made by the Kifujin Tenchou, gallantly advance towards the royal palace!

on foot .

No, I dont know if the chartered carriage or the coachman could go inside the royal palace without inspections . Besides, the coachman would be surprised if I say [to the royal palace]

I mean, when entering the SDF base, its necessary to show various documents, such as the car inspection certificate, the mandatory liability insurance, etc . right? If you go by taxi, theyll look inside the car, the trunk, under the car, et cetera I want to avoid such troublesome things .

And the gatekeepers eyes opened wide .

Normal noble lady does not walk alone to the royal palace? Is that so

Well, whatever, as long as they would let me trough, anything is fine

Eh? You will guide me?

Oh, you would be held responsible if you let a nobility daughter roaming the royal palace by herself?

Is that so

Well, Im sorry!

And I arrived at the audience waiting room . And I have to wait for my call here . For hours .

The other party is a King . And here, just a viscount of foreign country .

Yeah, it cant be helped .

And I was called earlier than expected .

Yeah, finally, a meeting with the king of this country .

Until now, there have been many people who I called [the King] . Including Sabines dad

Some of them are good people, some are arrogant, and many others, but I wonder what kind of person is the king here?
