Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

[So sudden, its really incomprehensible]Woman

They say it is polite not to speak clearly in these situations, then muddle the second half In Japan, at least.

However, I spoke clearly and on point.

Yes, like how the deceased behaved in an honorable manner to protect a woman.

Then I gave the bereaved a ruby pendant, 301 gold coins, and a letter of gratitude.

Of course, it was a letter of gratitude, not for trying to protect the product, but for trying to protect the woman who worked there.

Just as he was about to turn 50, his children were all married and living their own lives, his grandchildren were born, and he was about to embrace a happy retirement with his wife.

If he were a soldier, that would be unavoidable.

Even if its the same , he would have been prepared for it since he knew what kind of profession he chose.

If you have chosen a , you must accept that you may get killed as well.

So, although I try to avoid it as much as possible, I have no qualms about the death of the enemy soldiers in the war because I have no choice but to do so, to protect my friends and loved ones.

Also, while painful, the deaths of the allied soldiers were unavoidable in war.

But not the civilians.

No matter what kind of a security guard you are, you would never kill a thief or intruder with or without saying a word, and of course, it is not a profession that you would take on if youre prepared to die in the first place.

It is just one of the most common occupations. Even though there is some danger involved.

So, a brave man who has died unreasonably Yes, he risked his life protecting a woman, then hes nothing more than a fine brave man Ill do as much as I can for those that he left behind. Financially and spiritually.

So, I gave him a letter of thanks from the Larushia Trade, and the Yamano Viscounty, as well as rubies and gold coins.

In honor of the deceased.

For the bereaveds pride.

The bereaved should not have to live in poverty.

And for the peace of mind of those whore left behind

Thats why I spilled these twisted words.

[Actually, Ive heard this story before.

There are people in this world who, with a bit of money, can settle grudges that cannot be cleared and judge the crimes that cannot be forgiven

Theyre running a special promo right now, and theyll take care of your problem for a discounted price and one gold coin until the end of the week] Mitsuha

The eyes of the late guards wife, which until then had been sunk in sadness, lit up.

And she seems to have understood my meaning.

She finds out why the condolence money has an odd amount of 301 gold coins.

Then she gently reached into the leather bag and plucked out a gold coin.

She quickly gave it to me

[Thank you for your patronage]Mitsuha

Yes.

Those peoples fate was already sealed.

But now she may think that she has , and instead of living a life of resentment and hatred, she may be able to live a peaceful life with her children and grandchildren while mourning his death.

Yes, its a .

Human beings are not so easy to let go of the things dear to them.

Still, if it helps their peace of mind even just a little bit, then why not.

Money is not the only thing that can heal the heart.

I know that better than anyone, having lost my family all at once.

=====

I went back to Larushia Trading and told them that I had met the wife of the guard who had died

[Bah! What were you thinking, jewels and 301 gold coins!Uwa! Im sorry, forgive me!!]Larushia

Larushia yelled at me, forgetting about my power relationship with her.

Well, Im not mad at him because she me for doing something stupid. I guess I should be grateful for that.

[But its not good for business if youre throwing jewels and gold coins at your employees and guards! If the wagons were to be attacked and wiped out, how much money would be needed?

Besides]Larushia

Yes, I know that Larushia was shaking.

[Youre saying that some people are trying to attack us on purpose?]Mitsuha

[Eh? You know about that?]Larushia

Im not stupid, I know that much.

[This is the only time Im going to pay a visit. Even if those crooks mess with the affiliated stores of our , the stores will not go out of business and they will not get any import routes or concessions. And none of our employees will quit or betray us.

The other guards would not leave us if they knew that their bereaved will be taken care of.

Its a display to show off, and its a first-time benefit. So, just this once.

Well, knowing the fate of those who dabble in the Larushian trade, I dont think it will happen again, at least not in this country.]Mitsuha

[]

Larushia looked dumbfounded but recovered quickly. Well, Ive chosen the right person for the job.

[And that is]Larushia

[Yeah, I thought you might want to witness it. The Yamano clans wrath when their friends are hurt and when their people are killed]Mitsuha

=====

Im not in Japan.

Not even on Earth.

Therefore, everyone must abide by this worlds rules.

And in this world, I set the rules, my own rules.

If you dont follow the rules.

If you follow your own rules, which is fine as long as you dont get caught.

Then Ill also play along with your rules

There should be no complaints.

Well, no matter how much I wanted to, I couldnt just punch him in the face without any evidence, just because he was suspicious.

Even at that time of the Rephilia trade, I hadnt touched them until I found our product in their warehouse.

So again, no matter how suspicious they are, I wont go on the offensive right away.

Its true that there was only one merchant association that persistently demanded purchasing routes, pushed Larushia to be their handmaiden, and tried to recruit Larushia Trading employees after the incident, but there were several others that did the same.

Anyway, we need proof.

Its not that I need evidence that will hold up in court.

Just as long as I can identify the criminal, thats all that matters.

Its not the government officials or nobles, that is under the control of the criminals, who will judge.

I will be the judge.

Well then, lets go~!

Night camouflage leotard,yosh!

Head-mounted night vision scope,yosh!

Ultra-compact IC voice recorder,yosh!

By the way, it can record for 400 hours continuously, has a voice detection auto-recording function, and has a standby time of 300 days. It did not cost more than 5,000 yen. I bought about 10 of them.

The ones that send out wiretap signals run out of battery quickly, and you have to be nearby all the time to intercept them, and its hard to follow many at once, so theres no better choice than a recorder.

A wiretap is good if you can get a semi-permanent power source by planting it in an electrical outlet or something, but you know Thats not important. I havent even read RL La Ora Fu*since my brother passed away

Anyway, what I need this time was a recording device, not a wiretapping device.

Even if they find it, the people here wont know what it is, and whether they find it or not, its only a matter of me going near their store and transferring with them to retrieve it.

So I have to pay them a visit when I install it, but I dont have to sneak in when I collect it.

Well then, its time to go.

Mitsuha, teleportation!

A lot of incomprehensible things as usual, especially in this one.
