Chapter 87
Anyhow, it turned out that my pictures didnt circulate that widely in other kingdoms .
If thousands are circulated in the market with this price, I will cry!
Well, I will immediately stopped the sales if I felt someone is using my picture for no good, so the absurd amount of them was not the case at all . So far, It seems that the people from the royal capital who had bought it never tried to let it go .
I was lucky enough to stopped the sales before being mass-purchased by merchants or resellers at that time . Pez-san was complaining a lot though .
(Merchant) Then, its about the bandits
The merchant changed the conversation to the next topic .
Yup, we need to discuss that, right . .
But I have already decided, though .
I dont think that the merchant will go against my decision .
(Mitsuha) Ah, I will give them to you all, so do as you like .
(Merchant) Eh? Ah, no, that kind of thing is
Since we are only carrying them to the nearest city, we cannot receive the prize money which is the captors share from the sales profit for the crime slaves, and we need to pay the rescue rewards for you too . If we dont do this, our reputation will get involved .
Uwah, troublesome!
But, well, if the rumor that the merchant did not pay the reward money spread, certainly it will become a problem
However, even if I say that, I cannot go together with the merchant . If I drive the car for a long period of time at such slow speed, it wont be good for the engine, especially the plug and the others . Even before that happens, I will just get frustrated and wont stand it .
Thats why
(Mitsuha) Okay then, please dont talk about us, the hush money will be those rewards .
(Merchant) Eh?
The merchant was surprised .

(Mitsuha) No, I will be troubled if a rumor that Im traveling alone spread here and there . Thus, I will pay with those money as hush money . If so, there wont be any problem for a merchant because its a legitimate transaction, right?
And if theres no trace of my presence, I wont be worried about the possibility of being a topic by other people . Its good for both sides!
(Merchant) Wh
The merchant and the others made an astonished face, but this is the best outcome . Because I dont want to make money in this way .
(Merchant) Well . . certainly . . I understand that Mitsuha-san doesnt want her information revealed . However, if thats the case, you can just told us . Even if you dont bother to make money or exchange terms, just say the words like Dont tell anyone and we will follow it .
Theres no one in our group who will go against the words from Princess Shrine Maiden-sama who is our lifesaver!
Ah, Merchant-san got worked up .
But, well, thats also true
These serious and religious people who were saved by Princess Shrine Maiden-sama cannot bear not to give their gratitude and were given hush money by her instead . I misjudged them a little, huh

Well, lets go with this .
Make a serious face, straighten my back, let out a stern voice
(Mitsuha) To the religious and serious merchant, I will give you three divine mandates .
First, conduct the bandits disposal .
Second, substitute the reward money into food for the orphans .
Third, I forbid any declaration of having met the Princess Shrine Maiden . Let the bandits be caught by you and make sure that my words also goes through to the bandits . On that occasion, explain that those who disobey the instructions will be striked by lightning .
Thats all .
The merchant and his wife got up from the wooden box they were sitting on, rushed back a few steps and then dropped their head with their knees on the ground .
The escorts also followed in a hurry .

Next to me, Sabine-chan, who was trying hard to make the bitten hard bread go into the back of her throat with water, spurted out the water brazenly .
Colette-chan was behaving like usual . There was almost no sign of discomposure because of my speech and conduct .
Accustomed . That was the only answer .
Yup, some of the royal palaces officials and nobles think that Im a Royal Highness from a faraway kingdom only because I could use peculiar secret arts .
Princess Shrine Maiden seems to be interpreted as my real status in my home country .
However, they didnt bother to send out such accurate information . Thus, most of the people in the royal capital at that time still think of me as something like Gods messenger . Based on that setting, rumors had been spread around . They were passing the information by word of mouth like a telephone game .
Maybe thats why it turns out to be Goddess angel, who appeared and lead the soldiers under the protection of the Goddess .
Seeing how everyone from the trading company were acting, it was probably the correct answer .
No, of course, I dont think that the merchants from the sea or mountain towns believe in such rumor that easily .
But a merchant is someone who prepares for the worst .
There are no disadvantages for believing the rumor . However, if they didnt believe it and being rude about it, there will be big disadvantages if an emergency arises . Hence, it is decided that its better to take safety measures . well, they also had already looked at the car and guns, right?
Thus, the objectives had been decided .
After that, he told us various things about this kingdom and the royal capital, and finally, after a slightly long lunch break, together with the company, we were ready to depart .
The companys preparation for the departure was done immediately, as no fire was used to prepare for the lunch .
Us? Well . . , because we only need to get into the car, it took an instant .
I waved my hand from the window to the companys people while slowly returning to the main road . Then, I stepped on the accelerator .
Fly with full throttle!
Im sorry, its a lie, its 30 km/h .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
On the way, I took a break or went off the road to wait for oncoming carriages, then advanced for about 100 km/h by the evening and crossed the river as planned to reach the point where I could see the aimed town .
(Mitsuha) Okay, lets get off from here . Bring your luggage guys!
I already told Sabine-chan and Colette-chan in advance to prepare their luggage because we are going to walk like travelers . Of course, I also carry my own luggage .
Yup, I wont commit stupidity like going into the town while riding a car . If I do that, I dont know what will happen to the parked car and what am I supposed to do with it .
Well, the truth is I could somehow do it, though .
Transferred the car to my house and walk to the town .
In the first place, I have a hunch that we cant get into the town while we are in the car, and theres a possibility that we might be mistaken for a demon and they will try to take us down . Safety measures, safety measures
When the two got off the car, they checked the streets back and forth twice to confirm that there were no human presences .
First, I transferred to a rural town in US . along with the contents of the sewage tank .
Yeah, of course I had practiced with water . If it fails, it will be a catastrophe, you know .
It may be considered as a vicious attack and may trigger a war . Catastrophic World War and such .
Dumped the sewage tanks contents directly into the dump station and returned immediately .
Since the transfer was carried out, only one drop of dirty water was lost, and there was no need for washing, sterilization, deodorization, and such . how convenient it is, this transfer ability .
Next, I drained the contents of the water supply tank, that is, the remaining water to the side of the road . Then, transferred the car to my house and locked it firmly before returning .
How easy it is to not have to worry about cleaning the tank at all!
All the passing carriages were staring at the parked car on the way to here . Because they are in the opposite direction, they wont come to the town after us . We also transferred continuously to bypass the carriages that were moving in the same direction with us, so they only saw a little of the cars figure from a distance, which should have been unclear to see .
In other words, no one will say that they saw a car . Its perfect!
And we started to walk towards the city .
(Sabine) Im tired, Mitsuha-neesama
And not long after, Sabine-chan whined .
(Sabine) If only we brought bikes
(Mitsuha) Dont! If you get into the town with that kind of thing, you will absolutely stand out! Theres no point in putting the car away if its like that, you know .
(Sabine) Uuuu
Sabine-chan could only groaned while Colette-chan is still looking fine .
Yup, certainly it wont be any concern for a country bred like her if its only this distance, right?
(Mitsuha) Im tired if only we brought scooters
And after a while, its my turn to whined .
I made a mistake . The towns main gate was still far away .
