Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

An unfamiliar ceiling .

No, Im being a bit persistent .

I am currently in the middle of shutting myself away . In the blankets of the bed .

()

Embarrassing~!

I cried . Moreover, bawling, seriously crying! At this age, in an old mans chest!

Oh well, Earl is dandy and a good guy, and Im supposedly 12-year-old .

Should I relax for the next 2 days until the carriage for the capital departs

I cannot teleport until I get to the capital . I have time, but my absence will likely be noticed . I cant risk it . Well, there is no problem because I already prepared what I needed .

Two knives and a short sword, also three handguns and a spare magazine .

Didnt I say I cant sell the knife because theres only one left? That was about folding knives hidden for self-defense . The other one is a Randall hunting knife openly attached to my waist .

Eh, too many weapons? No, they are necessary if I get attacked by thieves or flock of monsters on the way . A revolver and a concealed weapon are required in preparing for jamming and if someone rushes in while Im changing clothes . The knives are for emergencies but they can also be used for everyday tasks . Like cutting a goblins ear .

Oh, theres no need for collecting a part of dead bodies, is that so?

The short sword is really just for intimidation . Because even if the handgun is seen, it wouldnt be thought of as a weapon, there is no guarantee that a wicked person who catches and sells people whod underestimated me like an unarmed girl and pick a fight wont appear . Its like a protective charm .

Oh, I practiced properly, of course!

A few days ago, the captains room of the private mercenary group Wolf Fang .

Youve come, little girl

Im here, captain

The captain hangs his head in dejection from Mitsuhas return . It is a mercenary group but he is called captain . No one calls him by his name . He is simply called captain . Things such as their names spreading isnt a good thing for mercenaries . Its fine if the name of the group became famous .

We are ready, come .

Following the captain, Mitsuha moves to the training ground .

Ho-ho

Looking at the weapons placed on the long desk at the shooting practice ground, Mitsuha raised a happy voice .

Here are the products from your order . First, a short sword for decoration . Its not an antique . Its newly built . Antiques are expensive and fragile . With a sheath . Fasten it to a belt . No sword belt . You wont be able to put that on with a gun belt

(tn note: The sentences stop short in the original too, I think hes showing it off while explaining . )

Mhm mhm, Its small so I could somewhat manage .

Next, a gun for self-defense . Its a Walther PPS . Small and lightweight at 549 grams, Bullets are 9 mm and with 8 shots . If you put one in the chamber as well, its nine shots . It should be enough for emergencies . If lighter than this, they become . 22 caliber and the lack of firepower becomes a worry . It has a reputation for womens self-defense .

Mhm mhm, good good .

Main weapon, Beretta 93R . Its a little heavier with 1170 grams, but there are 20 rounds and 15 rounds magazines . Plus one in the chamber . The caliber is also 9 millimeters . Its greatest feature is the three-round burst mode . It can switch between normal single-round burst and three-round burst modes . It will run out of ammo If you keep shooting in a frenzy, but it should be effective as the first strike in a time of emergency . Normally use the three-point burst and switch to a single shot when necessary

Ho ho . It is certainly a bit heavy, but the three-round burst seems interesting . Good choice, captain!

Also revolver, . 38 caliber

Huh? the end? Do you dislike revolvers??

Also, you can also change the type of bullets in the reserve magazine . Armor piercing rounds thatll go through a bulletproof vest, or hollow rounds that can deprive fighting strength each shot even if it misses vital points . Steel core rounds when using rifles, tracer or HEIAP rounds if it is a machine gun .

O, oh

Then, for now why dont you try putting it on and adjusting the holster . After that, general usage, shooting training, simple care, and precautions . I will do the proper maintenance, so bring them back after using it for a while or regularly

So, well, thats why the preparation for going to the capital are perfect .

Oh, I should have prepared grenades . Failed!

Huh, even if you have weapons can you kill people, you ask?

I wouldnt kill ordinary people, of course . Thats obvious . But theres no reason why I shouldnt kill someone whos going to kill me . What, respect the other partys life and silently be killed? No no no no!

If you capture them couldnt you admonish them without killing? Theyre going to hit back as soon as they get away, or attack someone else . How many pure and honest people will have the misfortune of being murdered by the overlooked scoundrels . In that case, the people overlooking them are as good as the killers .

If people go off the road of being human, call them fiend, theyre not human anymore . As in, its fine to exterminate them .

Also, even if its not a fiend, you can kill enemy soldiers . No, although they might be feeding a family and be a good husband and father at home, well, if they come to kill their opponents by choosing such a profession themselves, they shouldnt complain even if they are killed . I feel sorry for the drafted people who are being to forced to fight, but at the point where I value my life and my opponent is trying to kill, theres no helping it anymore .

However, what is with the protagonist who worries about killing the enemy in movies . Dont you think its stupid . Their friends or lovers get killed while they hesitant . Then they hesitant even more, and regrets it It makes you think, kill your enemy for the time being and then take your time to think, doesnt it .

Eh, you dont think so, is that so?

(tn note: I have never seen this movie but I feel like I seen this in anime somewhere . Also, Mitsuha daydreams a lot)

Mitsuha-chan, its lunch time!

While I was escaping from reality, someone has come to pick me up . Mr . Butler, did you refrain from coming in to wake a woman worn-out from crying? Yes, indeed, a good butler is different . Your name is Sebastian, is it not . Oh, Stefan? Its different, is that so?

At the dining table . Awkward .

No, theyre all are smiling at me . Didnt touch anything about yesterday . But that consideration hurts!

Im so embarrassed that I cant look straight at earl-samas face

Earl-sama talks to me about various concerns . Eh, an invention? Making salt? Developing sweets?No, no, no, no, what did you say, yesterdays me!! No, for now, please act as if we didnt have that conversion!

Which do you prefer? What? Oh, about your sons, is that so?

No, Im not interested in either, right now . Please tell us again if you have to sell something else in a hurry, thank you . What, why are you depressed, both of you . I do not mind having Beatrice-chan . Huh, dont call me Chan? Call me onee-sama? If I marry your brother, you would be my imouto, Beatrice-chan . Youll definitely stop it? Yes, good luck, Im rooting for you .

After the meal, the scramble has begun .

For what? No, for me, but .

Earl-sama wants to talk about agriculture, forestry, taxation and special products . Iris-sama seems to be plotting something with Beatrice-chans clothes . Alexis-sama invites me on a long ride . No, I cant ride a horse .

Theodor wants to hear a lot about knives . No well, things like forging, coalescence, carbon content, and quenching, I have some half-baked knowledge but, youre going to talk with a girl about cutlery, is that so .

Beatrice-chan seems to want to talk about various things between fellow girls . Well, a daughter of a lord wouldnt have other children of the same age to play together with .

All right, Ill sell you underwear . A small piece of gold . Of course, its unused .

Various things happened, and its finally the day of the departure to the capital .

No, in the scramble over me, a schedule was decided after consulting with everyone in the Boses family . Thanks to that I couldnt get a good rest .

So why were you in the discussion about the schedule, Stefan-san? You are a butler, right?

And, well, after various things, I finally depart .

Mitsuha-san, take care of your body . And be careful of strange man

Yes, Ive had a lot of practice with Alexis-sama, Iris-sama .

After a while, we will also come to the capital . Please wait until then .

Yes, it seems that there is a time when nobles gather in the capital for something called the social season . Im glad its not right now, Alexis-sama .

Let me hear more about Mitsuhas country again

Theodor-sama seems to be interested in the technical systems . However, I shouldnt teach you about technology that can be used immediately and will have a big impact right, sorry though . Well, in time .

When I get to the capital, Ill show you a good shop!

Yep, girls are amorousness, arent they?, Beatrice-chan .

()

And lastly earl-sama .

Then, be careful . I have sent letters for instructing people to prepare as much money as you need . Of course, there is an upper limit though, well, youll have no problem with the amount as long as you arent going to buy a big mansion

Yes, Im in your care .

Oh, there is an immediate need for money because of travel expenses for the time being so a certain amount was handed over to me . Okay, now I can hand gold coins to the captain . I want to know quickly, how much are gold coins from here worth on Earth?

Have a nice day

Sent off with the butler Stefans bow, I left the Boses house and headed to the waiting place for the carriage . With servants .

Yes, with servants

Starting with the earl, all of the Boses family wouldnt let me travel alone . No, even if its called that, this time Im traveling in a carriage with a lot of people . But it was no good .

So, because theyll go there any way for the social season, it was decided to make two people go ahead as an advance party . A maid around mid-twenties, and a male guard around thirty . Well, seven days to the capital, its good I have people to talk to .

The passengers at departure are seven in addition to the two coachmen wholl take turns . Although it is called wagon, rather than the one that the aristocrat uses, it is more like a covered wagon that many people can ride on . Two horses . Besides us who are affiliated with the Boses, the four passengers are a slightly overweight middle-aged merchants, a young mother and her daughter, and an adventurous-ish young man .

No, things like adventurers, theres no such profession! It might be an escort of another customer or an escort for the carriage itself . There is a possibility of just being a customer though . Well, its a long journey, Ill eventually know . Ill talk with various people and gather information .

And a few hours after the carriage departed . Me, an escort, and a maid gathered together were clearly giving off a nobility like feeling, anyone can see its a noble girls party . Its clear they are wondering why she doesnt use a dedicated carriage . The other guests act like they dont know to not get involved . Darn it .

Seven days later . We safely arrived in the capital .

No, nothing else happened! There was no bandit attack, nor did hordes of demons attack . Thats normal, right~ . If you are attacked so often, you cant travel or trade right . I know that, mhm .

But well, its not a waste of effort trying to be safe . It will be useful from now on .

The other passengers, various people got on and off board .

Oh, while I was listening to the maid and the escort talking, the other people came to understand that I am like a commoner thats harmless to people and animals and ended up talking to me about various things .

The story of the merchant uncle went in various directions . Mhm, Ill become your

patron once I get rich . The uncle was with me until the capital .

After we had descended from the wagon, the two did not head to the Boses house in the capital and came with me to the inn . Everything seems to be directed by earl-sama, they seem to have received orders to not leave me until arriving at the inn that earl-sama specified . How overprotective .

After all, he pushed me to stay in the Boses house at first, and it got considerably heated . I insisted, then its not possible to become independent, right now I need to work hard not as a noble but as a commoner, and forced him to accept this .

In the first place, the earl has no right to force me . I just stayed overnight and sold a necklace . For cheap too . Hmph!

Well, Im brimming with motivation after receiving a supporter .

But, an inn introduced by an earl-sama, wouldnt it be stupidly high class and exclusively for nobles .

There was no such thing . Anticlimactic .

Its an ordinary inn for common people in this country . It seems that the husband and wife of the inn are from the Boses territory and are also an acquaintance of the earl, and it is simply a safe inn with credibility . Maid-san and the escort-san went away to the Boses residence .

Alright, with this I can teleport as much as I want, lets get serious to secure a base and make money!
