Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

It was decided that the compensation for the two of them would be discussed at a later date, including the next sessions.

Of course, I had to remind them not to make unreasonable demands based on their feet and to use common sense.

I also reminded them that they should not stay up all night, but should take breaks and get some sleep.

Staying up all night or working recklessly is your skins worst enemy.

Im probably going to be cured of that, too

So this time Ill have them finish it in about three days.

I couldnt take recordings from the other merchants for the time being, but I had set up an additional recording device for the ringleader, the Enova Chamber of Commerce.

There are dozens of recorders scattered all over.

Well, the total cost isnt even 300,000, even including the external microphone.

Arent prices in Japan too cheap? I always think about it when I go to the 100-yen store.

But Im not going to buy any more recorders, as you can imagine.

A woman with dozens of micro-recorders at hand, thinking about it gives me the creeps

Then, on the third floor of General Store Mitsuha, I played several recording devices at the same time for confirmation.

No, I dont have to listen to the whole thing, I can just skip over the irrelevant parts or fast-forward using the control buttons.

And then.

There it is!

Hes on a roll, hes talking a lot, hes making fun of the Larushia trade, hes talking about his plan to get the cargo from the Viscount Yamanos estate, hes talking about the payment to the nobility.

The criminals are pretty talkative, arent they.

Well, thats understandable. Unlike modern Earth, this world doesnt have any technology for eavesdropping or recording.

The best they could do was to hide under the floor, in the ceiling, or in the closet.

Also, a person who was at the scene secretly informed the enemy.

Thats why youll be vulnerable when youre talking in your secured room with . If you are in a place where you feel safe, where you know the walls are thick and there is no place for people to hide, you can rest assured.

In addition to normal bugs and recorders, there are even laser microphones that shine lasers on the windows of buildings and convert the flickering reflected light into sound to intercept conversations in the room.

No conversations, no documents, no data, no files, no schemes.

Thats the way it is on modern Earth

However, as expected, even in this world, no one is stupid enough to go to the trouble of creating evidence such as a plan, pledge, or a series of letters of martial law for an evil scheme.

If you dont create such a thing in the first place, if youre still worried about unity and prevention of betrayal, then youre in the clear.

So, while the contents of the hidden safe may be useful in uncovering other forms of fraud, there is no physical evidence other than the recorded data in this case.

And there is no way I can present a recording device as evidence.

In any case, they will be claimed to be fake or made by the devil, or the guards will inadvertently lose them or smash them against something and break them.

We cant get the perpetrators we dont have contacts, we dont have the connections, we dont have allies, we dont have the proper government officials.

Its not like the owner of the merchant association met with them in person or directly gave instructions. And if he said, , or , then thats it.
