Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

What, how crude!

Beatrice-chan is furious!

If it was such an interesting party, why didnt you take me along!

No, you cant before your debutant

Delicious cooking! Sweets!

Sorry

Finally, what about my debutante! Mitsuha, take responsibility and make it so amazing that it wouldnt lose to anyone elses!

Afterwards, as a result of negotiating with Beatrice-chan, it was decided that there is going to be an Electrical Parade and fireworks at Beatrices debutant . Ill bet everything on her forgetting this within the next 2 years .

And then it was interrogation time after dinner .

What is that dish? What about that picture? Where did the weird stuff in your store come from?

Right~ .

And, excuses time .

There were from my friends back home who were worried whether I was living in destitution within a foreign country, they personally shipped it while keeping it a secret from their superiors . I decided to sell the extras because theres too much and I couldnt use them all . It seems my friends are dispatching small high-speed ships one after another The items seem to be secretly carried in from the shore at night, yes .

This is painful . I wonder if there are inconsistencies from everything I have said so far . Well, I did sayTo protect them I mixed in some lies . Even if there are some contradictions, please let it go .

Y, youre not going to poke too deep into it . As expected of Earl-sama . Such a considerate person .

Whats with its Mitsuha anyway . Ah, no nothing, sorry .

Then, we had a stupid chat after talking about everything that happened until now . Artificial golem soldiers? What is that? Oh, something I said? I dont know anything about that . Salt? You are quite persistent about this, Earl-sama . Eh, your territory faces the ocean, is that so . Ill look it up online next time .

Eh, Alexis-sama, Mitsuha over Adelaide-chan, what, are you crazy, youre younger than, (cough, cough) . Hey, why are you two casually supporting him, Earl-sama and Iris-sama . Ah, now Theodore-sama and Beatrice-sama enter the conversion .

Its already late so stay over? Yes, I was already expecting that . Then, Ill drink a bunch of wine, (goes out like a light) .

The next day, I came home early after eating breakfast . No, because I have to open the store . This serious me wont skip without a reason .

The weather worsens, the clouds gradually expands, and finally, there are pot, pot sounds and raindrops . it slowly starts really raining .

Huh, this is the first time it rained in this world . Is this little rainfall okay? Well, I dont know if it rained while I was in Japan .

4 people in all, wait, are these!

A, adventurers!

Ha?

There were 4 men and women who came in to escape the rain .

A black-haired man with a solid body seemingly in the latter half of his 20s armed with a large sword . A thin blond hair man around his 20s holding a spear . A red hair woman around her 20s with a slightly shorter sword . These are people who cried out earlier . And a silver hair 15~16-year-old girl . A bow at the back, a dagger on the hip . Un, bigger than Beatrice, about around Adelaides I guess . Catching a glimpse of her breasts, I feel like we could get along for some reason .

Un, these members, and with that equipment, what else but adventurers would they be!!!

Naturally, were mercenaries

Of course~ .

The 4 didnt have much desire to shop but they looked around out of courtesy for the time being . Maybe because the things they found around were unexpected, they seem to be having a lot of fun and are making a ruckus . Among them, the oldest man is with the knives, the other man is with the cooking utensils, the red hair woman with the fancy goods and the silver hair girl with utility goods, each was caught in their preferences corner .

How cute

The redhead woman picks up cute things one after another with greedy eyes . Its not that expensive, well, I guess its hard for peacetime mercenaries to easily buy it .

The passing shower shows no sign of weakening .

Mitsuha calls out to them after boiling some water and preparing sweets and tea .

Would you like some tea while youre here?

Eh, no, we have no money

A prompt reply from the redhead woman!

No, its on the house . No customers will come in this rain and besides, Ill be bored if I keep manning the counter by myself . If I can have someone to talk to

Then Ill be happy to

Ah, hey

The older man smiled wryly at the womans willingness .

In the end, everyone took Mitsuhas offer and sat down on the seats next to the kitchen table .

The 4 of them are mercenaries hailing from the same village, the 27-year-old black-haired man seems to be called Sven, the 22-year-old blond man is Zepp, the 21-year-old redhead woman is Grit and the 16-year-old silver-haired girl is Ilse . By the way, the girl was not a magician . Too bad .

It feels uncomfortable that Ilse as a 16-year-old girl is a mercenary, but that is just prejudice . If people cant eat in the village than anyone would become mercenaries or thieves . Besides, Grit might be 21 now but it seems he was already a mercenary when he was 16 .

Recently there is little war and rural disputes, little demand for mercenaries, and no small number of people job-changing into thieves . And among them, these 4 people seem to be really serious with their chores, gathering, hunting and so on . However, it seems that they have few earnings, rather than luxuries its a situation where one day they cant pay to replace their damaged weapons .

So that why I cant buy them even if I want, sorry though

While looking sorry Grit takes a mouthful of sweets . Japanese manjuu is sweet and tasty, and it fills the stomach . Ilse chews with stuffed cheeks as well . The men also couldnt overcome temptation and reach out to the manjuu one after another without holding back .

No need to hold back . As I said before, I really was bored May I ask you to share some stories?

Updated from novelhall[.]com

If your fine with stories, then any number of them!

Mitsuha heard various stories from the 4 people . Collection and hunting, a guild that introduces work, struggles of travel and unexpected enjoyment, future goals

Thats it!

Mitsuha smelled the scent of money .

Um, the mercenary guild mentioned earlier will accept anyones request right?

Oh, as long as its not illegal or unless it goes against the guild rules . Of course, an introduction fee will be taken

Sven answered while a manjuu was in his mouth .

A nominated request like what you talked about earlier right?

Ah

Then, can you guys accept a nominated request from me?

Ehhh~?

Mitsuhas request was: them having her accompany them the next time the 4 goes out to gather or hunt, as in to escort and support Mitsuha during that time . Things useful for those in their line of work, I would like to find something that will likely help and put it in stock, to study that I have to see it for myself .

After listening to Mitsuhas explanation, the 4 thinks .

Despite being a child, Mitsuha is a fine merchant . They appreciate that such a person thinks of people such as themselves . It makes them happy to think about it . Theyll go to a forest not far from the capital so theres little danger . There is nothing wrong with escorting Mitsuha . Theres little influence on their usual earnings . At most it will be carrying Mitsuhas luggage, it may come to also carrying a tired Mitsuha depending on what happens, but its a small girl, theres not much weight .

And above all, a request fee will definitely be received . Gathering and hunting depend on occasional luck, sometimes they wont go well, but request fees are entrusted to the guild beforehand, and can be received reliably . There are few elements that will break the contract . If it happens, itll be when the party is annihilated after a thieves attack . And if there is a thief that will attack a poor merchant with fighting forces I would like to see such a rare face .

Almost no demerits, reliable income, and a nominated request is a mark of a partys dependability, it will raise our trustworthiness in the guild . Furthermore, if we build a connection with this shop then we might get another nominated request, more delicious tea cakes

Theres no room for choice . The 4 noded while looking at each other .

Well take it!

The next departure was scheduled to be in 2 days and the rain lighted up so Mitsuha promptly closed the shop and headed to the mercenary guild with the 4 people .

Now that I think about it we havent talked about the request fee, well its fine even if its cheap, so the leader Sven thought, after 2 days and 3 nights he was surprised to see that Mitsuha had paid a gold coin for that request .

Luck may be coming our way

The next day, Mitsuha prepares for the 3 days and 2 nights trip after closing the shop . Aside from the necessities, she consulted What if this happens?with them and packed her backpack . She struggled to make it so she could manage to carry it on her own .

Light but bulky and difficult to carry things, small but heavy things . No matter what, food and water are heavy . Although base camp seems close to a stream, it doesnt seem likely that 1 liter of water will be enough for all the way there .

I probably cant teleport and return in the middle of the journey . Because its an escort type of mission, it feels likely that theyll watch over me at night . They wont risk needless danger .

And so the day of departure came . Unlike usual Mitsuha wakes up early, had a large breakfast, and teleported home to wash her hands afterward . Un, during a trip

On the trip it seems well have 2 meals per day, She was told to eat well before we depart on the first day . The next meal is not until supper . Well, Mitsuha already planned to eat something appropriate .

Anyway, meals become luggage and take a lot of time to prepare so eating becomes a huge burden on a trip . If its a trip for gathering/hunting like this one then we can eat locally procured items if edible plants and small animals can be found, but if it can be sold then if possible I would want to take it home to sell . Even if I have to endure hunger, its income . We will bring the bare minimum food . Also, if we find something that wont sell for much then lucky, else drink some dry food with water .

She was told they will prepare Mitsuhas food but she declined . No, thats where I want to test things . They look anxious, but its fine, retort is great .

Also, a knife and dagger, huh .

Ah, I gave up on short swords . It was heavy and no good like I thought . So, daggers . A dagger is a shorter short sword when putting it literally, but its something completely different from a short sword .

In the first place, what the infantry has gets called a short sword, and what the cavalry has is a longsword, the actual length is irrelevant . Things like a super long short sword and a short longsword naturally exist . In conclusion, the short sword was a normal sword wielded by an adult male solder, it was never something short .

What I need is one that is half the size of a normal sword, in other words, its a dagger . Like the one Ilse-chan has . One that is overall 50 centimeters with a blade around 35 centimeters in length .

When I said that, the captain saidI thought so . Looks like you thought something was misunderstoodwith an annoying no need to say anything expression . If you knew then some something earlier!

The knife is for work . Like dismantling prey, its the standard . No, Im not doing it . Well, maybe lightly touch on the subject . Of course, Ill also use it as a weapon if it comes to that .

The difference between a dagger and a knife is complicated right? Like thatOrchalcum Dagger, by length is a knife right? The shape is sword-ish though . But thenOrchalcum Knife doesnt sound cool . Un, well, its the feeling, the feeling!

And other equipment, also equipping guns and more, its finally time to depart!
