Chapter 260
After we had decided on the policy of political matters concerning Beatrice-chan, we decided to discuss the details later and confirmed other things.
Like the rewards and so on.
Of course, it was agreed upon in advance, but the budgeted amount and the actual cost were slightly different.
[The amount paid for the fireworks is 5 million yen which is 200 gold coins. Adding 20% for miscellaneous expenses and my profit, for a total of 240 gold coins.]Mitsuha
The food provided to the pyrotechnicians is not for free. Not for free! Many things cost a lot of money that you cant see on the surface!
[What? You mean, all of those things? Thats so cheap!]Count Bozes
Then Count-sama couldnt even blink in surprise.
Well, comparing to a Japanese financial sense, its about 24 million yen. I guess its a small price to pay for the biggest event in the life of his beloved daughter.
And the other fees for renting animal-themed costumes, generators, etc., are trivial compared to that. The stalls and foodstuffs were at commoner prices. In addition, the food, which is expensive in this country, was bought on Earth.
Oh, And I bought the cotton candy machine instead of renting it because it was not very expensive. If I buy one, I can easily use it for small events at the orphanage.
Even if you add in the cost of paying Wolfang, supplies, and other miscellaneous expenses, thats not a lot of money.
Not for me, of course, but for the Count-sama, who is about to be promoted to Marquis.
Aside from any other nobleman, Im not trying to rip off Count Bozes at all, especially regarding Beatrice-chans debutante ball.
As I said, Im not going to work for free or be prepared to lose money, because I need to save for my retirement.
At any moment, I may lose the ability to teleport.
At any moment, I could lose my title and territory.
At any moment, I may also need to flee this country.
Its a crazy world out there!!!
Of course,in addition to paying me, I think there were various expenses associated with the countrys fine food, alcohol, and other parties,but Im sure it didnt cost 1000 gold coins or a billion yen worth.
Whether a few hundred gold coins or tens of millions of yen Its nothing compared to the power that the Bozes family showed to the nobility and the inhabitants of the royal capital at this party. Moreover, the effect of making the people believe that they have .
I wonder how much advantage the event last night will bring to Beatrice-chan and the Bozes family
So, please dont reiterate the story and lecture me, Count-sama.
In this way, we managed to survive the crisis, although we were left with the burden of worrying about the future.
Well, lets collect the LED lights, wires, generators, and batteries and get the hell out of here.
I warned everyone very carefully not to touch them without permission, so it should be exactly as they were last night.
I cant stand it when people pull on the wires and break the wires from the inside or even break the LEDs. Im sure Ill use them again and some of them are borrowed or rental items
Okay, get ready to clear out!
Sabine-chan is about 11 and a half years old now, I think. That means she has three and a half years left until her debutante ball Luchen is almost 10 years old, so he has a little more than five years left.
Yeah, theres no need to panic yet.
Besides, while science progress and things change, there is no chance that the age of adulthood in this country will be raised to 18 in the next three years
I mean, theres no way, you know!
The odds of that happening is zero. Zero I say!
Gununununu.
But, well, theres no point in worrying about it now. Ill worry about it when the time comes.
It is better to start worrying about it right before the day of the event, rather than continue worrying about it for three and a half years starting right now. At least it will be blissful for more than three years.
Yup, [Hasta Maana! / Ashita mata na!]*(TN: See you tomorrow!)
Hasta maana!I only used such words because it has a nice ring to it, but as a literal translation, it is quite close in meaning.
Well, thats the end of
Her birthday, or birthday party, if you want to be technical, that will come every year, will not be as fancy as her debutante ball, so it will just be a regular party, plus the food, drinks, and sweets that Ill provide. Well let them come up with their own acts and stuff.
If its a normal birthday, then it can also apply to Alexis-sama and Theodore-sama, and if you add three princesses and two princes to it, then there will be eight birthday parties that I throw every year then Ill die!
Well, to begin with, no matter how few the members of Count Bozes family have, their budget wont be able to keep up if they held three parties of this scale every year.
In any case, there are many other parties to be held such as the birthdays of the Count-sama and Iris-sama, the anniversary of founding the Bozes House. In other words, the anniversary of the founding of the Bozes family as a noble house, or the anniversary of granting the Bozes family a noble title What Im saying is, the day they became nobles. Theres also the goodwill party for the neighboring noble families that will be held not in the royal capital but their domains mansion, so on and so forth.
Well, I heard that they dont spend a lot of money on goodwill parties because they dont do any performances or special acts, but they do spend a certain amount of money on food, dresses for the women, and decorations.
I think its fine to use the same dress over and over again, but they have to make a new one every time. With a few exceptions, such as poor baronial families.
Thats a huge profit for the clothing stores
Of course, thats what were aiming for with our plan to industrialize dressmaking in Yamano territory.
Anyway, the case is settled. Its settled!
Now all I have to do is pay the balance!
A month after Beatrice-chans debutante ball.
I moved to the fourth base of the Viscount Yamano family, the gallery-cafe [Gold Coin].
Specifically, in a small shed dedicated for my teleportation spot that was retrofitted to the back of the building.
Then I went around to the entrance side and entered through the main door.
The sound of the doorbell drew the attention of Rudina, Shirua, and the few customers who had stayed until the closing time, but the sight of me, who seemed harmless enough, soon brought everyones gaze back to normal.
Since the order had already been stopped,Rudina is cleaning up the table with Shiruain the seating area instead of the kitchen in the back.
As I entered the store, I waved lightly to them, then walked through the seating area to the back stairs, and went up the second floor.
The customers probably thought that I was Rudinas or Shiruas sister or friend since I came in at closing time. Looks like the two of them hadnt told the customers that they were orphans, or that they were alone and had no friends, well normally there are no cooks or waitress would go out of their way to talk to the customers about such things,.
Oh, from my appearance, it wouldnt be farfetched for a sister theory
No, no, no, theres something called half-sisters from the same mother, half-sisters from the same father, sister-in-law, and so on.
In fact, I informed Rudina and Shirua in advance that
I went upstairs, not to the room that each of them was using, but to a room where we kept spare dishes, cooking utensils, supplies, and a computer desk
Well, beforehand, while the two of them are still working. I secretly tidied up the place, moved some of the stuff out of the way to make room, and cleaned it up properly.
It was unlikely that they would come upstairs during business hours.
Im sure they replenished the consumables after closing last night, so its unlikely that they would come to this room during business hours.
Im already well aware of their seriousness in that area.
All that remains are
[Continuous transfer!]
Yeah, lets get started!
