Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

"Mitsuha, are you ready?

"Well, what are you getting ready for?

When I returned to the Territorial Mansion, Beatrice, who had come to work for the Beatrice Chamber of Commerce, told me something I didn't understand.

"What are you talking about? It's time to prepare for my 15th birthday party, the debut of the social world, the Debutant Ball!

"... eh? Yeah? Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!

Ah, no way...

"It's my birthday soon. Nothing, the Dubutante Ball is definitely not meant to be played on your birthday, but it is common sense that on your 15th birthday, you can do it as fast as you can!

Sure, you said you'd show me "Electric March", "Shop Opening", and "Hanabi"! I won't forgive you if the food isn't better than when you were Adelate!!

Ahhhhhhh!

I was hoping you'd forget, but I can't believe how accurately you remembered what Beatrice had to promise you after partitioning that Dubutant Ball of Adelate of the Viscount Liner family....

Beatrice was thirteen when I first met her.

It hasn't been two years since then, but I wonder if she's going to be fifteen because of her birthday...

Unlike the kingdom of Vannel, the birthdays of minors are not celebrated very flashy in this country, so I know Beatrice was 14 sometime, but I didn't know when her birthday was...

No matter how many birthdays of minors are celebrated by family and servants alone, I would probably have been invited if I had been nearby, so there was Beatrice's birthday when me and the Count of Bosse were separated from each other in the King's City and Territory.... before telling the Count that my "crossing" trick can actually be used without much burden...

Hmm, what do I do...?

Well, before we do anything about territory, no, we have to go along with it and get ready in a hurry...

Since it is a Dubutante Ball, the place will naturally be the King's Mansion of the Count of Bosse. We're inviting a lot of guests to show off, so we can't do it in the countryside.

Then....

Cooking, Yoshi!

At Adelate's, Marcel, it's going to be pretty easy because you'll be able to hire all the cooks.

... if I sit down and beg, I won't be refused any more.

Shop open, Yoshi!

It's no big deal to teach cooks and other servants to cook street food one by one.

In the first place, street food is fairly simple, or most of it has been prepared in advance.

I'm not trying to train a cook who can do anything. I only need one type. Those who can only bake squid, those who can only bake tacos, those who can only make apple candy, those who can only make cotton ame...

Yeah, the hurdles seem pretty low.

If you have a power supply for cotton sharks, if you put in a 100-yen coin, a certain amount of sharks will automatically be poured and activated, and you can use your own chopsticks to wind it up, so you can rent it.

From an ice cream shop to a cold storage container, you know... an ice cream dish... and you just put it in a corn cup. Gitch the grip part for peeling.

Takoyaki has been made by myself many times.... Octopus wasn't our refrigerator's staple, so I put chickpeas in instead of octopus, and I made them for myself instead of snacks.

You don't have to build a stall. Simply set up a temporary shop.

Anyway, it's only for a day, no, it's only for a few hours, so I don't need the ability to move. If there is a point of contact for handing over the product, the cooking should be done in the back, so there is no need for intensity.

Yeah, no problem!

Electrical march.

Ugh...

I wonder if you can rent from a few thousand yen to 10,000 yen.

If we march, do we need about 20 sets? Well, is it okay to charge the Count for the expenses?

The cost of this country's aristocracy to the party is insignificant.

... but the problem is the wheelbarrow. The one with the electric ornament that was twitchy. How much does that cost...?

Maybe a few million if it's a new one... Besides, the delivery time will be quite late, and it is the ordered production of such a special thing.

Probably wouldn't be in time if I had just ordered it.

Fireworks.

Ahhhhhhh!!

You won't forgive me for selling them at toy stores and convenience stores, linear fireworks and snake fireworks, Beatrice...

A real one would cost millions of dollars...

No, even if the Count pays for it, set it up or launch it! There's no way an amateur can do that...

Issues such as qualifications for handling gunpowder, delivery to the office to launch fireworks, and permission are not a problem because they are "places where Japanese laws do not reach", but there is no way that they will sell real fireworks to amateurs. Because it's a super-hazardous substance that uses a lot of gunpowder, and just a little misstep can cause a massive explosion.

Besides, you can't buy electronic systems to control launches in the first place at those appliance stores. It's not like I can do this alone!

What should I do...?

"What's wrong?

"Yes, yes, Nandemo Alimasen...."

Shit.

I did it, eh...

"Huh? Do you want me to ask you to launch a firework?

Yes!

This is a city in Japan. A fireworks shop... a city full of fireworks dealers.

Fireworks dealers include "fireworks artists" who manufacture and launch fireworks, "fireworks artisans" who buy manufactured fireworks and only plan and launch fireworks themselves, and all of them.

... and this is a small company that manufactures and launches it, that is, does field work.

A workplace where there are few employees, where everyone has special expertise, and where one trivial mistake is life-threatening, you can't do it unless you believe each other's skills.

Only technical idiots (professionals) are there.

... yes, 'people you can trust'.

So I chose a small place, not a big place.

Keeping secrets is problematic where we have a decent corporate organization.

In such cases, you must report it to your manager, and you will not be allowed to do anything on your own.

No, it's not that bad. Big organizations must be. It's only natural.... but that's just 'a little inconvenient' for me.

So I chose this place.

I'm a slightly tired jumper without an appointment, but still responding with utmost sincerity, the president... the owner... the shopkeeper... 's uncle was surprised, his mouth was half-opened and hardened.

No, it's only natural that a guest who comes to the firecracker asks for the fireworks to be launched, right? If you came to the firefighter and asked him to serve ramen, I'd be surprised.

... good. You don't have to tell me! Anyway, you think I'm a junior high school student or something.

"... ah, oh, sorry. When the summer murder schedule is over, my mind is relaxed and drowsy. It happened every year.

So, what's up? You're planning a surprise fireworks for your parents' wedding anniversary?

Well, if it's a cheap No. 3 ball, it's 4,000 yen per round, plus labor and equipment. If all my brothers can prepare about 200,000 rounds of part-time work, I'll launch about 60 rounds with balls three and four. I'm free for the season off, so let's not service the bureau process.

I can accept at least 100,000, but if you give me more than 150,000, I'll put in a special number of balls and a number six. "

The fireworks are pinky. The cheapest balls such as the 2.5 balls and the 3 balls are 4,000 to 5,000 yen per round, but the 10 balls (1 football) are less than 100,000 yen, and the 20 balls (2 footballs) are said to cost about 800,000 yen per round.

No matter how small the balls are, and no matter how much the season is off, 200,000 yen for 60 shots is a big service. They're going to tease me with a big balls...

I mean, it's not just about selling fireworks, it's about transporting them to the field, installing launch equipment, launching work, and taking them away. Bring in a few workers with special skills.

Due to the long detention period, it is not strange whether it is just labor costs or quite a bit.

Besides, we have to deliver it to the Bureau in advance.... in my case, the bureau procedure is irrelevant.

... but I'm not asking for a "surprise" like that.

"Nh ~... how many rounds can you put in a ruler balls if it's about 3 million?

"... eh?

Yes, I'm not going to waste my money on my dear Beatrice's duotto.

... even if it's not my money, but the Count's money!!

Mm-hmm.

However, it would be bad if it was over 10 million yen, so about 3 million yen would be reasonable. Considering whether it is exchanged for cash or not, there are 120 gold coins with the other money. In the Count's sense of money, it should feel like 12 million yen for the Japanese.

Do you think it's expensive or cheap?

... well, you won't know until after watching it...
