Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Chapter 205



205 . Societys Grand Operation 2

Whats that? (Man A)

Theres a row of wagons passing through the main street of the Royal Capital .

Although its not on a grand scale, the caravan seems to be heading towards the countryside .

Foodstuffs are often transported from the region to the Royal Capital, and in return, expensive industrial products are transported from the Royal Capital to the region . The royal capital is a huge food consumer market after all .

However, the caravan seems to be trying to carry food and livestock feed, such as wheat, barley, and potatoes, from the royal capital .

If youre wondering why one can be so sure, its because each carriage carries banner and flag, stating

[Wennarl Barony; Food Aid Transportation Corps; Provided by Society; In cooperation with Rephilia Trade and Yamano Viscounty]

Speaking of Wennarl Barony, It is said that they have bad harvest . But isnt it rumored that theyre one strep before famine and the condition is pretty bad? Even if they sell food to that place, they wont be able to collect the money (Man A)

You idiot, look closely! [aid] is clearly written there! (Man B)

You mean its free? Thats absurd! Far from making money, it would be a huge loss, isnt it!? What kind of idiot would do . (Man A)

The other man points at the wagon, urging the man who cried thats unbelievable to look at it .

Who, you ask, its clearly written there . The donor is an organization called [Society], which cooperates with [Rephilia Trade] and [Yamano Viscounty] . (Man B)

[Society]? Whats that [Rephilia Trade] that I know, but which country does this [Yamano Viscounty] belongs to? And nobles and royals of our own country dont even try to do anything, even though a noble from other country tries to help? (Man A)

But just look at those proud faces and dignified attitude of the coachmen and the escorts (Man B)

Well, such a rewarding and proud mission worthwhile to put your life on the line only comes once in a blue moon! (Man A)

Society

Rephilia Trade

Yamano Viscounty

These three names spread rapidly among the people of the Royal Capital .

And as the fleet advances, it spread all over the country and even into neighboring countries .

It raised our popularity greatly! And [What is Society] is the latest and greatest trending topic among the people right now! Also, our name, along with the name of Yamano Viscounty, have permeated the general public, not just among nobles and merchants!! (Rephilia)

Just as planned (Mitsuha)

I was grinning at the report from Rephilia, who seemed excited .

Umu-umu, its going well .

We wouldnt be able to catch up by overland transport from the Royal Capital, so were arranging to transfer large quantities of goods to the coast near Wennarl Barony and leave the transportation and escorts arrangements from there to Baron Wennarl .

At first, he couldnt believe it, but the persuasion from Cherylea-chan and the whiskey I gave him in place of greeting seemed to work .

Of course, I said that our ship didnt have much time due to forced schedule, so we unloaded the cargos on the shore on the night the boat arrived and left immediately .

And of course, I asked Wolf Fang to guard the cargos until the convoy came from the Barony . Camping in a tent would be something they were used to, and theyll let me know using the radio when the caravan approaches, and Ill go there immediately .

Yeah, no one in the Wolf Fang speaks the local language, so it cant be helped .

And actually, several Wolf Fang members were tagging along with the overland caravan .

Of course, they have a merchant-like appearance so that they dont stand out and only bring small weapons for defense purposes .

Since I couldnt afford large-scale escorts, so theyre there just as liaisons . If anything happens, theyll contact me by the radio .

To that end, two members are standing by in an empty room on the second floor of my product store with an antenna attached to the roof . So they can always be in touch, and when I get a call for support, they can contact my handy transceiver .

I have fireworks and sirens installed just in case they failed to contact me by radio .

So, of course, I cant leave the capital during the mission .

And before the convoy departed from the royal capital, a send-off party was held in front of the Rephilia Trade .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

Yes, [In front] . In front of the store, on the street . Among a great number of people, everyone witnessed what happened .

My great speech to the young merchants, coachmen, and escorts which raises the sublimeness of this mission .

Words of encouragement from Mitchan as a representative of the [Society] .

Cherylea-chan, who shook the hands of everyone in the convoy while shedding tears .

And the members of the [Society], who werent wearing any adornments, handed out a small glass of brandy to everyone .

The reason why everyone is not wearing jewelry is, of course, explained in my speech .

After confirming that everyone had gotten a glass on their hands, including the members, we made a toast on my lead .

Cheers! (Mitsuha)

It mustve been unbelievable for the coachmen and the escorts that the noble girls toasted with them .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

The significance of this mission that I explained and the girls who sold their adornments for that, as well as the cute noble girl who shook their hands while crying .

Was it because the alcohol they drank that their guts got hot, or was it because the emotions welled up in their heart .

Then the convoy departed with a proud expression on their faces after the crowd sent them off with huge cheers .

Yup, it seemed that they would do their job properly .

At the cost of a few brandies that arent expensive, it was highly cost-effective .

And lip service is free . Thats why the [Society] made use of it .

So thats how the source of the aid for Wennarl Barony, how it was funded, what the [Society] did, and why the [Society] did so, were all exposed .

Of course, dozens of girls selling their jewelry alone wouldnt be able to raise enough money to save the plight, no matter how small a barony is . If it were that simple, the baron himself would have managed to do so .

So it took a big chunk of money out of my own pocket this time .

But it is a necessary expense, advance investment . So it doesnt mean that I wasted my money .

In business, sometimes the best way to harvest profit is to lose .

well, this time is more like [to harvest fame] though .

Your Majesty, its about the social gathering called the [Society] that involves Viscount Yamano and the daughter of Marquis Mitchell (PM of Vanel)

Hmm? Did they do something? (King of Vanel)

The King seemed a little uneasy about the report from the Prime Minister .

Yes, it seems that they provided food aid to Wennarl Barony, which is having trouble due to poor harvest . Because the daughter of Baron Wennarl is a member of that [Society] (PM of Vanel)

its a good thing, it is not? Its a tiny thing that will warm your heart . We must let everyone know their good deeds (King of Vanel)

When the King heard that the report is something related to Viscount Yamano, he was prepared, thinking it was going to be a bad story .

Unexpectedly to the King, it was a pleasant story, but

Nobles daughters who sold their adornments to buy aid supplies . Rephilia Trade offered large quantities of foodstuffs instead of making a profit . And Viscount Yamano who provided a ship by pushing back her trade schedule . The story spread explosively, and the merchants who were moved by that and the lords who have the leeway followed suit one after another to send money and supplies to Wennarl Barony The little, right, just a little support from the girls has sparked all of that, and it is still growing rapidly (PM of Vanel)

Heavens! (King of Vanel)

Surprised, the King opened his eyes wide .

I see that the people of our country have not forgotten the spirit of righteousness What a pleasant thing, what a joyful thing! (King of Vanel)

The King rejoiced, clapping his hands, but he suddenly realized that the Prime Minister was looking at him with his emotionless eyes .

whats the matter? You look not very happy (King of Vanel)

And the Prime Minister replied quietly .

The problem is that [those who have not forgotten the spirit of righteousness] do not include the royal family, so (PM of Vanel)

Wh-what? (King of Vanel)

The King surprised at the words of the Prime Minister .

No, what I mean is it shouldve been the governments responsibility to help the people in distress . And this time, the Wennarl barony which was in trouble, was rescued by girls who sold off their jewelry, small emerging merchants, nobles from other countries, and those who moved by them . while, the royal family wasnt doing anything . Its no surprise that they are praised, but on the contrary, if theres someone that needs to face the backlash, that would be (PM of Vanel)

The King is not an idiot . Theres no way an idiot could become a King . (Note: Hmm)

So he understood what the Prime Minister said . completely .

help me, Prime Minister! (King of Vanel)

Unlike the last time, the Prime Minister could convey his advice first this time .

First, we should lend interest-free loans from the State Treasury to Wennarl Barony and its surrounding territories . Also, provide the national stockpiled-food at a normal price before the price-rise . Lets distribute some of the militarys stockpile too . And (PM of Vanel)

And? (King of Vanel)

Donation from your Majestys personal assets (PM of Vanel)

I guess there is no other choice (King of Vanel)

It is the duty of the lord to support the people .

If you cant do that much, then youre not qualified to be a lord or a noble .

If they ask the country for help, of course, the country has to support them .

Even if there are some interest and a fair penalty .

But, in place of a cruel country, there will be someone willing to help for free .

And that free-aid comes from the hands of a group of heroic girls

All the popularity and praise were taken away .
