Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 192

192 . Game Over, and Then Replay

“how is it going?” (Mitsuha)

“Ah, Mitsuhsan! Yes, the Delaître Company is currently being intensively investigated . …but as of now, still as a [Victim]…” (Rephilia)

The reply that came from Rephilia is that .  The so-called [Keikaku Doori… (Just as planned)], [Soutei no Haninai (Within the range of presumption)], no no, it’s [Yosou Doori (Just as expected)] .

“In fact, he is consolidating evidence as a suspect, right?” (Mitsuha)

“Yes . If they seriously investigate it, he wouldn’t be able to do anything . It might be different if he was sneakily stealing alone, but there were a lot of his employees and the thugs he hired, so some of them would absolutely open their mouth . Among the employees, there must be some that are earnest and have a strong sense of justice, and some others that may be faint-hearted . If somehow, they have the mindset such as [At this rate, all the burglars will be sentenced by death or a lifelong criminal slave, and their relatives would be shunned as a family of thugs . If that were to happen, my sister would never be married . …But if we confess honestly, that we were ordered by our employer to do so, perhaps our sins could be greatly reduced], then it would be a heavy blow for him .  Or if the thugs were caught in another case and tortured… interrogated, for example, if 5 or 6 of their nails were peeled off, or if a red hot needle stabbed inside their nails, surely enough, they would readily speak” (Rephilia) (Note: wow, danger loli)

Yeah, I guess that’s right .

Maybe the mastermind merchant perceived it as [Just a robbery] .

However, several guards were beaten and injured . And since about half of the perpetrators were armed and the other half were porters, it would fall under the violent criminal act category with attempted murder and planned burglary .

…or rather, I wrote that on the damage report so that they would be charged that way .

The weight of the sentence between just a robbery and burglary with attempted murder are completely different . Although in the end, they didn’t kill anyone, the moment they committed [Burglary with armed combatants in order to kill the opponent without hesitation if they are resisting], the felony has already been confirmed .

Furthermore, the mastermind misunderstood that [the victim was not the Rephilia Trade, but Viscount Yamano], and that the Royal Palace, the guards, the nobles, and the merchants, all of them must have completely turned into his enemy .

Normally, the commerce guild would confront the government’s interference, saying that [It’s an unjust interference towards the merchants], but now, far from complaining, they seem to be actively cooperating and providing information to the guards .

…it is the result that everyone highly regarded and valued Viscount Yamano, and Rephilia Trade which has strong relationship with Viscount Yamano, more than the Delaître Company, which is the mastermind of the raid .

Of course, in the sense that we’re regarded as [Gold Vine] and valued as [Money making partner] .

I guess it’s about two or three days left until the big show .

“Well then, I guess this matter is over with this . Let’s move to the next topic! I’m going to make partner stores for Rephilia Trade in the neighboring countries . One in each country . And I will exclude the [Prohibition of overseas sales] condition in those stores . I’m going to choose talented young merchants who, just like Rephilia, cannot succeed their parent’s store . And let them go up in their respective country at once by using the opening fund that I will lend them and the products from Rephilia Trade . …regarding that matter, It would be fine if Rephilia give them your guidance . You’re [a successful person who had experienced it once] after all…” (Mitsuha)

“Leave it to me! I will surely meet your expectations! …and please, make the world yours, Mitsuhsama…” (Rephilia)

From [Mitsuhsan] to [Mitsuhsama]…

And I’ve heard that line somewhere!!

(Note: Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu reference, the line and the anime < YT link)

Three days later .

Rumors have been spreading that a certain company’s head, employees, and a group of thugs were captured by the officials .

I confirmed it with the guards, and it seems to be true .

Well, I knew that it was a matter of time .

And it seems that the torture is still ongoing, in order to make them to spit out the location of the Rephilia Trade’s stolen goods, but there’s no sign of them confessing at all . …it’s not because of their resolute attitude, but they were crying while saying [I don’t know] or [it was stolen] .

But it wasn’t written on the list of the missing items when they filed the theft report…

So perhaps the officials think that they’re hiding those items somewhere . In the first place, the officials must’ve thought that they orchestrated the robbery on their own company .

The purchase routes, sales routes, etc . of that company will be devoured by other firms, like piranhas swarming the prey, but of course… Rephilia Trade will not be involved in that .

Rephilia Trade is upright, clean-handed, and keeping its independent position .

An emerging firm that never breaks promises, will make sure to hit back anyone who messed with them, and run by a beautiful merchant who is protected by the goddess . …with the full support of a beautiful foreign noble girl .

With the royal palace, influential nobles, and the commerce guilds on their side .

No one will try to pick a fight or turn hostile towards Rephilia Trade for a while . Yeah, for a while .

And after a while, Rephilia already finished investigating the children of merchants in neighboring countries . …using the power of money .

You should use your money as much as you can! The economy won’t turn around if you keep it in the back of your chest . You should use the money you earn!

…eh?

Saving 80,000 coins?

Savings hole?

Carry gold coins to Earth?

Hnnn, what are you talking about? I don’t know~~ I can’t hear it…

It’s the so-called [sore wa sore, kore wa kore!] .

You will get bald if you think too much!

Anyway, let’s check the ones that Rephilia has listed .

Most of the people in the list are girls, but that’s inevitable .

The boys are going to be heirs or its reserves . The third son and beyond will be given the opportunity to play the active roles, either as the main supporters of the store or as the helpers of the branch stores establishment .

…on the other hand, no matter how talented they are, the girls are used as a mere pieces, married to strangers two or three times older in an arranged marriage, and forced to play the role of giving birth to children to protect their house .

Right, that was the path that Rephilia was supposed to tread . It’s no surprise that the ones that met my precondition are mostly girls .

Besides, it is only natural for Rephilia to include a large number of girls as the candidates, given the life that she would’ve had had I not been present . And I have no problem with it at all anyway .

Weird blokes may appear and try to seize the position of the Rephilia Trade or try to get involved with the Yamano Viscount House instead of business, so it might better to stick with female merchants .

Something like International business network exclusive for female merchants is kinda cool .

Alright, let’s go with that!!

Whomp! (SFX)

“Kyaaa!!” (Mitsuha)

“Aaah, Mitsuhneesama!” (Colette-chan)

Yeah, she called me [neesama], but it’s not Sabine-chan, it’s Colette-chan .

I told her to call me that way whenever we’re on the New Continent, except when we’re alone .

“Aaah, I’m sorry!” (?)

And the girl apologizes in a hurry to me who she bumped and fell on my bottom .  

“No no, It was my bad walking around with a lot of luggage . Please don’t mind… Ow!! Sorry, could you lend me a hand? Something is hurting and I couldn’t get up…” (Mitsuha)

After that, I asked her to lend a shoulder to a nearby café and introduced myself .

Yup, the proven strategy sure has a different sense of reassurance…

After this, I still have to fall on my bottom many more times, but I shall believe in the ability to [Cure any injuries slowly but surely] .
