Chapter 182
182 . Abandonment
Eeeeh!! (Rephilia)
I told Rephilia about the matter at the Royal palace and explained the truth about Count Wonrade and Viscount Efred, and then she screamed in surprise with her eyes shot open . Well its the so-called [When will you ever get surprised If you dont get surprised now]
and how are you gonna deal with it after this? (Rephilia)
She just got surprised for a moment . After that she returned to her normal expression no, she has evil smile on her face when she asked me that . How bold of you no, youve grown splendidly, Rephilia .
And emerging company, [Rephilia Trade] is going well is an understatement, its growing exponentially, an amazing development pace, and its uplifting and invincible impressions are staggering!
But its not because of Rephilias sole ability .
All of them not quite, but still, at least 99 . 9999% of it is thanks to my products and my name value .
I need to watch over her carefully so that she doesnt get carried away and tripped over unexpectedly .
Ill leave them alone now I know their lies and tricks . And they also know that I know about their lies . And because I know that they know that I know about their lies, now Im wondering what kind of attitude they will take the next time we meet (Mitsuha)
Eh? Eeeh? Because you know they know you know? (Rephilia)
Ah, smoke is about to come out from Rephilias head .
I mean, Its depending on their attitude . Theres no need to speed things up from our side, right? (Mitsuha)
Its the so-called [Go no sen], or [Counter] in boxing terms . When the opponent has launched an attack and they can no longer stops or corrects the action, all I have to do is to avoid the attack and launch a counterattack technique . the effect is outstanding!!
I see At first glance, it looks like they have the initiative, but they actually dancing on your palm As expected of Mitsuha!! and this child is? (Rephilia)
Ah, shes my little sister . Please get along with her! (Mitsuha)
Please take care of me! (Colette-chan)
Yeah, I didnt bring Colette-chan here last time, so this is Colette-chans first meeting with Rephilia .
The last time was a meeting about the detailed analysis of the products I wholesale and the products I buy and collect, so I didnt bring Colette-chan, thinking she couldnt understand the content and would be bored .

And this time, I will introduce her properly . Lets introduce her to the firm tte,urusai wa!
(Note: Another wordplay, Introduce = [Shoukai], Firm = [Shoukai], and Lets = [Shiyou] with [Kai] modifier)
Anyway, its an introduction!
Well, as you can see, shes my little half-sister I have another little sister, but shes also born from a different mother (Mitsuha)
Yeah, even if the person herself cant come here, lets keep Sabine-chan as my sister in the setting . I will bring her here eventually if its just for sightseeing .
No, Im sure she will coax me! Theres no way Sabine-chan can stand the fact that Colette-chan is often going somewhere with me for so long
But well, shes busy with because of her princess position, mainly studying etiquette, memorizing the nobles genealogy, and practicing dance . Sabine-chan doesnt seem to have the same level of persistence as Colette-chan
Or rather, theres no way she could learn the language of this kingdom since theres no teaching material or someone who can teach her in the Royal Capital, unlike in the Yamano Territory or Bozes Territory .
What a silly thing I was thinking
Updated from novelhall[.]com
Well, its fine as long as Sabine-chan taking things leisurely just as usual . Unless she become strangely aggressive and causing damages Lets make the King to be in charge of the damages . yeah lets do that!
And Rephilia immediately become familiar with Colette-chan, she speaks slowly to match Colette-chans awkward way of speaking, and went as far as stroking her head
No, since Colette-chan is my half-sister in the setting, of course shes supposed to be a noble too, I wonder if Rephilia is aware about that
So, its about the King, it seems that Ive been misunderstood them as [Showoff DQN, whos trying to exploit the connection with me to their interest] . But the truth is, they are [Showoff Royals, whos trying to exploit the connection with me to their interest] .
it isnt that much different you say? Is that so
Ah, so if nobles other than me knew that they were the king and the prince all along, it means that its an open secret, and merchants know it . except for me and the newcomer Rephilia
Then, about [We will suspend all of our contracts with those who are doing business with that noble family and their relatives] that we announced, the [thatnoble family] part includes not only the party organizers family but also Count Wonrades and Viscount Efreds, and that the merchants who knows the identity of the two refuses to deliver goods to the Royal Palace [For the King and the Crown Prince consumption], because they do not want to lose their business contract with the Rephilia Trade .
Well, thats just for the sake of the pretense, in reality, they may have been delivering goods to the Royal Palace [For Servants consumption] or [For the Guards canteen] .
I wondered what to do, but
No, lets keep it like this . I dont care about those who tried to trick me . In fact, I dont really want to get closer .
Ah, then, did the party organizer at that time and Mitchans father unable to oppose the Kings order? There is room for excuses
However, if rumors spread that [Viscount Yamano will easily forgive the one who deceived her], it might attract the hyenas who want to try to gain advantages .
Well, at least externally, I have to keep pretending to be angry Im sorry, Count whatever the name is, who happened to be the party organizer at that time, and Mitchans dad!!
so how should I pick the parties to attend from now on
In this situation, itd be a bit sketchy if Mitchans dad picks them up for me again . However, itd be the same if I were to ask someone else to pick a party for me Since the others would take it as a proof that I really trust that person
Besides, theres no other noble that I trusted enough .
Ummm
Ah!
Is there any reason I have to attend a party in the first place?
I had dived into the social world to gather information and make connections, but I already gathered enough information and my name and face were already well known in the social world . And Rephilia Trade is already using it to open up sales channels firmly .
isnt it fine already even if I dont go to parties anymore?
Everyone wont be surprised even if I dont show up in social circles anymore . They would just think [Aah, its because that incident] . Its easy to refuse invitations now .
Lower-ranking officers aside, military personnel are mostly nobilities, I already have enough acquaintances and connections in that field .
Besides, if push comes to shove, theres always the [Ultimate Skill, Goddess Mode] .
All I have to do is appear on the mast of one of the ships and drop an oracle using my megaphone . The effect would be enormous, since the matter about Eras is widespread enough .
If I were to stop going to parties, itll be much easier for me in terms of time and mental . And theres no more stupid dresses
If I want to know something or have something to do, I can just get an appointment and meet a nobleman or military officers who is suitable for it .

And let Rephilia Trade take over the influence on both political and business circles .
Thats right, doing everything by herself is not the way of a capable woman to do things . Its the commanders duty to nurture the next generation while leaving the on-site work to their subordinates .
It doesnt mean that they passed it to someone else because it was troublesome . Maybe .
And the biggest merit from stop going to parties is [That]!
I have to put the brakes on mysteadilygrowing waist number!!
Or rather, why my breasts and height doesnt grow, but my waist does grow!
[Growth] and [Fat] are different, you say?
God damn iiiiiiiiit!!!
