Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

It’s been three months after I ordered the RV . It will finally be delivered soon .

And I have prepared for the journey .

「Fix your waist, keep your lower body stable! That’s right, calm down, aim for it……」 (Mitsuha)

*Pan*!

Yeah, Colette-chan has become quite used to this, her shooting posture too .

Yup, I’m teaching Colette-chan how to use a handgun for self defense in preparation for the travel .

I won’t know what will happen during the journey so she can’t be stuck near me all the time . Hence, I want Colette-chan to have at least a self-defense ability . This will be necessary in the future .

This is important for the future of Yamano Viscounty . In any case, I’m sure Colette-chan will also be beautiful in the future too .

「……rather than young miss, I think Colette is better at this, huh . 」 (Captain)

From behind, captain called out .

Yup, beginners can’t recklessly teach amateurs how to treat guns, or anything like that .

The mercenaries are watching over in turn, and I just interpret the advice . If they think we are in a dangerous situation, they can jump straight and grab the arm which is holding a gun .

「But, are young miss and this miss fighters?」 (Captain)

The captain came to asked but there is no way we are! In the first place, he didn’t saw the state of our country . Well, aside from the time of the [royal capital’s absolute defense]…… .

「Well, Colette can use grenades and throw it straight, unlike a certain young miss . Also, she is stronger……」 (Captain)

S-shut up! (U-urusaiwa!)

Well, just like that, Colette-chan was steadily maturing on how to handle weapons too .

「It’s not 『Colette too』 but 『only Colette』, isn’t it?」 (Captain)

Like I said, shut up-!

And finally, it’s time for the departure .

The progress is too quick, you say? No, if I did a lot of chores daily, the days would pass in a blink of a time, you know .

Visiting the countries that I have entrusted the analysis of other world products, meeting great people from major countries,…… .

Oh, I am careful not to meet people from one major country only . I have to meet people from several countries simultaneously and having the mercenaries as escorts .

If not, they will ask unreasonable demands, threaten, or force me to do anything they want . It will be unbearable, yup .

Well, it’s better to escape with transfer if it happens, but from the start, I don’t want to have any discord with them .

For the time being, regarding the delegation to the other kingdoms, it’s a step before the conclusion of the treaty to establish a joint defense preparation for the invasion from other continents, a greetings and explanatory travel, if I may say .

The leading actor for this delegation is supposedly an Earl who is the leader and also the envoy . He has been entrusted full authority from the king and seems that he has accepted the mission from the King, saying that his son will always be able to succeed the household, so it’s not a problem even if he cannot return home alive .

Yup, we won’t know when we will encounter bandits along the way . In addition to a kingdom that’s not very close which they presumably will think 『joining with other kingdoms can be a threat to one’s own kingdom』 . The possibility of being attacked cannot be denied .

Next, as an advisor, a young man which appears to be 20 years old and seems to be the eldest son from a Marquess family .

The King said that he’s a young gentleman that is hard to lose his temper . Although, with a refreshing face, his eyes look intensely at me, somehow depressed at something .

And the royal family, who gives authority to the mission and accompany them seriously-

「Yahhoo~! It’s great that we can travel together!」 (Sabine)

-stood Sabine-chan’s figure .

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Waittttt!

「Why is Sabine-chan hereee?!」 (Mitsuha)

「……It’s because I lost the bet in Shogi . 」 (King)

「Oh, I see……」 (Mitsuha)

I can’t say anything when I saw the King’s face who’s about to cry…… .

And the figure of Sabine-chan who is smirking .

Of course, the members are not only that .

Numerous officers, secretaries, escorts, female officers and maids who will take care all of the needs for them . As it will be a long trip, it is not unreasonable to do so .

After meeting with each other, the King gives instructions in the large hall and set up a farewell party .

Literally, it is a long-term expedition which possibly resulting not coming back alive if you are tactless, so there’s a possibility that this is the last time they will see each other . The relatives, friends and co-workers of the people who take part in this trip embraced each other to say their goodbyes .

However, not all the members selected for the delegation are particularly saddened .

With eyes shining brightly, some are proud to be the chosen ones, thinking of the day when they will return home safely .

After that, we move to the courtyard and board the carriage while being sent off by everyone .

What I’m riding is the most luxurious one which is located in the middle row .

Of course, Sabine-chan, the leader and the advisor are with me, along with two maids . Including the coachman, seven people . That makes us fellow passengers on this long journey and members who will be in a long relationship from now on .

… . Everybody except me, thought that way .

Finally, the carriages began to move . Bringing people’s expectations .

It’s been a while after the carriages had left the royal capital .

The delegation leader, Earl Audyst von Covemainne and the advisor, Caldebolt household’s son, Klarge have been silently seeing Sabine who is currently playfully sitting on Mitsuha’s lap . However, cannot suppress the curiosity anymore, Klarge finally asked Mitsuha .

「U-umm, Princess Shrine Maiden-sama,…」 (Klarge)

「I don’t like that, just call me Mitsuha! I’ll be in trouble if I’m called with 『-sama』 by the son of Marquess family . In addition, I’m just a novice Viscount……」 (Mitsuha)

「O-okay, then, is it okay if I call you 『Mitsuha』?」 (Klarge)

「Yes, please call me like that . 」 (Mitsuha)

Klarge floats a joyful look due to having been permitted by Mitsuha to 『address the name without using an honorific』 .

「Well, that’s, about the one that Mitsuha had installed……」 (Klarge)

Klarge points at a square box attached to a corner of the carriage .

A mysterious box that was installed with cushions to minimize the effect of vibration of the carriage, and somehow there are various strings sticking out of it .

「Oh, that, it’s a 『Communication device』 . It’s a magic box where you can talk to His Majesty at the Royal Palace even if it’s far away . 」 (Mitsuha)

「「Eeehh!?」」 (Audyst and Klarge)

In response to the unimaginable Mitsuha’s reply, Earl and Klarge raise a surprise cry .

The two maids also opened their eyes expressing their surprise, but the one who isn’t surprised about this is only the princess .

Of course, Sabine won’t be surprised at this point of time .

「W-Wha……」 (Klarge)

「So the reason of having been given full authority by His Majesty is……」 (Audyst)

Klarge who is now at lost for words due to his bewilderment and Earl Covemainne who is discouraged and feeling a bit melancholic knowing that the meaning of his important heavy responsibility is degraded .

「Ah, because the timing is perfect right now, I will teach you how to use it . Sabine-chan also, because it has a different model from the one in your room, let’s remember it together for the time being . 」 (Mitsuha)

As Earl and Klarge were not in a position to know the communicator in Sabine’s room at the Royal Palace, it’s the first time they heard about it .

Mitsuha tells Sabine and the others not to push any other dials and switches, and teaches only the minimum operation necessary for the call .

There are two communicators, one for HF (High Frequency) and the other one is for VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) . Of course, it uses a battery, thus the roof of the carriage is equipped with a solar panel .

If it cannot catch up with the charging speed, it can be replaced with a spare charged battery that Mitsuha had left at home, but the communicators will likely be turned off most of the time except when they make a contact once a day, therefore running out of battery shouldn’t be a worry . There’s also a 7-430 MHz wideband mobile antenna installed .

Earl, Klarge and Sabine listen to Mitsuha’s explanation with serious look . The two maids were desperately trying to memorize Mitsuha’s explanation from the back .

They thought that if the masters have something to do, they may need to operate it and contact the King themselves . Even if they are not instructed by their masters, they are desperately trying to learn the operation method . As expected from the maids who were placed in this carriage .
