Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

49 Party

2 days later, at the Count Lanchen residence

Obviously, I wore a proper dress and went to the party hall

The dress that I wear is a contribution as a representative of my

home country as an example of [reverse tribute of bribery]

(TN : slap me if I'm right, ドレスは、例の『詐欺同然の逆朝貢』で各国に貢がせたうちの一着だ)

It seems like a luxury goods that cost a lot of money if you see

it, with the highest materials and technology from the present

earth were displayed, I don't need to explain how it appears in the

eyes of people in this world

Somehow . . . It's a bit unpleasant .

Why is the size perfect you say? Height may be measured with the

surrounding object by a hidden photograph, but why is the size of

waist and bust perfect too you say . . . ?

Awesome! The power of spy!

(TN : Umm . . . . is that captain at fault?)

Because you can't put a weapon on the upper body while using a

dress, my self-defense equipment for today is only Walser PPS at my

thigh .

There is no way anyone would turn the women's skirt . Maybe .

If it found out by chance, "Its impolite to bring a weapon in the

party"," but this is a "sacred treasure" so it's okay!

Sacred treasure must be worn forever, like an amulet or talisman (TN :

wut?), you can't complaint .

Say no more .

Actually, I can escape anytime if I am alone, so I don't have to use

this gun except when forced to use it . If I don't have time to

escape, at that time it doesn't matter if I have a weapon or not .

So, I have a reason for having a weapon [Just in case there is

surprise attack to protect others] .

Even if everyone have a small group of guards, they can evacuate

together, but if the number of people is large, its quite

complicated and afterwards various trouble will come, so in that

case it would be easier to remove enemies first .

Anyway, those noble noticed me quickly and approach me while I

enter the venue and they think I am unarmed . But Earl Boses/Bozes

immediately ran to me and pulled my hand .

"First, we must say hello to this party organizer!, Count Lanchen"

He directly pulled me

As expected of Earl-sama, he properly escort me . . . . . . . Oi, this is

wrong! This is not how you escort someone! It is like a father who

pulled away his daughter's hand . . . . .

. . . . Well, whatever . . . . . . .

And then, before I noticed it, Alexis grabbing my other hand .

Wa- wait, wait, is- is it that isn't it, [A figure of an alien

while its arm grabbed by 2 CIA staff . . . ] . . . . .

"L-let me go please! I wouldn't run away!"

Eventough I despite what they do, it seems they won't let go of my

hands . I was pulled by Earl and his son toward the Court Lanchen

family who is the part's organizer today .

The Count Lanchen himself, the Countess, the eldest son, eldest

daughter, second daughter and the second son .

"Your Grace, Thank you for your invitation, I am so grateful . . . . . "

I had no choice, I release my hand from their grip, somehow my

greeting was decent enough .

The Count Lanchen family looks surprised . Of course isn't it, what

kind of performance is that when your hands gripped from both

side . . . .

"A- aah- . . . . Wel-Welcome, my pleasure to meet you . . . . "

Even the stuttered Count Lanchen managed to reply my greeting while

still surprised, a man around 20's who seems to be Count's son

rises suddenly, I stretched out my hand .

"Welcome to our humble place, I am the eldest son of Count Lanchen

. . - eh?"

*Pull--- in*

When my streched hand sweeps out and missed the Count son's hand

while his jaw dropped, because Earl Bozez and Alexis grabbed my

arms and pulled it back to the where it was right before the

handshake happened .

"Well then, we are a bit busy, so we will excuse ourself"

Is what the Earl said, Earl and Alexis-sama are walking out while

lifting me up . No, wait a second, I'm facing backward! Seriously,

its realy become [The Captured alien!], I am gathering a lot of

attention here!!

As I pulled out, Earl Bozes whispered to me and say .

"That is the oldest son's bad habit, although he already has a

fiancée, he is quite good at handling a lot of girls too, do not

approach him, do not speak to him, also do not make him your

oppenent . . . "

Oh, so that is why you do that?

But, please let me say something to you Earl-sama .

. . . . . My ear! it's ticklish!

"Next is, we will greet the Earl Pasteur house/family . They are the

organizer of the party from the other day that Mitsuha missed .

While you are too focused on your goods stock, you just missed

their second daughter debut, so you must behave friendly in order

to solve everyone misunderstanding of you, I am particularly

concerned about that second daughter who expected you to debuted

her party . "

"o-okay . . . . "

Aw man~, I did a bad thing to the second daughter-san .

Well then, I must do something . . .

This time, I pull my arms to let go off from their grip .

You two didn't realize it huh? Of course they didn't, you just

forcibly drag me here pridefully .

(TN: I changed the line here, forgive me if i am wrong)

"Pleased to meet you, My name is Viscount Mitsuha Von Yamano,

please treat me well . "

Greeting cleanly and courtesy .

"My apologies for the other day . I do not know if there is a report

for staying in the capital, and it seems the invitation letter was

not delivered because they think I was "absent" at that time . . . . "

Since the party of the other day, Earl Pasteur thought something

was not right and it seems a lot of bad rumor surrounding them, and

finally, the misunderstanding has cleared, his eyes opened widely .

I mean, seriously, I am sorry .

The Wive and her children next to them also surprised .

Ah, the second daughter's face is . . . .

Oh no, it looks like she is going to cry!

Coming of age party debut, also the social debut by invite [The

Thunder Princess Shrine Maiden], she(2nd dghtr) would be pleased

that she can be closer to her(mitsuha), and now she(2nd dghtr)

disappointed when being told that "I haven't arrived at the Royal

Capital at that time", if someone keep trying and trying and trying

her best, then you are told that actually I am already in the Royal

Capital, who wouldn't cry because of that? . . . .

What to do, shall I apol- No that's not it, I must do something . . . .

"A-ah, right, t-this, p-please take it, I apologize that I could

not go to your debut party, a-and a friendship gift . . . "

I handed out the ring that I had from my finger, yup, like my dress

too, sometimes ago, a bribe from a German agent, I received it as

the contribution . I don't know how many carats in there, but I

think this ring has a reasonable value as a diamond ring .

I am not in trouble with money right now, so as long I can get

through of this place well, this is fine . Its just a gift anyway .

Even in this world, large diamonds and the high quality diamonds

are present as it is . However, the value of the diamond in this

ring compared to the one in this world is not big, it's a technique

of cutting and polishing .

The value of a diamond is determined by a combination of cutting technique,

color, carat(weight), and the purity And also the difference in technical power .

The light that enters the diamond becomes a more radiant diamond by

the excellent refractive index of diamond and the ideal proportion

determined from its refractive index (ideal proportion) . This

cutting technology is different in level from this world and the

earth . Therefore, even if the original is the same rough stone, it

becomes a difference of comparison which can not be compared .

In other words, this ring is a thing beyond the common sense of

this world in its cut technology .

In Western Europe of the Earth, even for diamonds of an

engagement ring price, depending on the cut

it will be a considerable value in this world .

It's a bit tiring if I go to western Europe, so I make a comparison

in Japan there are many cases of selling high ranked items at a

high price with a ranking 1-2 grade in Japan . Because the appraiser

who made the expert opinion may be a subsidiary of the jewelry

shop . Even if it sells at 80 to 90% of the amount bought overseas

then in Zara that selling price is less than 20% in Japan .

""" Eeeeh--"""

The second daughter-san opened her eyes widely in surprise after

received my ring reflexively .

Count Pasteur and his wife seems more surprised than her .

Well, it seems that couple knows my ring's value . Of course they

know it I thought .

Eh? Earl Bozes looks like he is upset about something .

"Mi-Mitsuha, that is . . . . "

"It is an heirloom from my mother, what is it?"

I answering Earl's question just like that

"N-no matter how much I said to you, *sigh* such an important

thing . . . . "

Aah, so that what worries you, Earl Bosez

The art like cuts, the purity, the natural magnet of girl's taste,

but this is just an jewellery, so I do not know the monetary value

of this thing . Perhaps it will be a little expensive, just that .

Well, the value of this thing on earth maybe around tens of

million(Yen or Dollar?), or maybe not that much . It's not that

great, it's just a pretty girl's pleasure to buy . And the dress is

from another country . Maybe it's around tens of thousands dollars

at least . (TN: damn you, rich girl!)

. . . . What the hell with [Tens of thousands dollars], is there anyone

have that much money, Of course that's me .

Well, it is a gift . This is not worth the tears of young and cute

girls . (TN : dayum <3)

But, even if she isn't cute that doesn't mean she should cry tho .

"Vi, Viscount Yamano, I will receive this Important thing . . . . "

Earl Paster said while trembling . His wive and eldest daughter

carefully wathing the ring wich is the second daughter-san held .

"No problem, if I attend your party before, maybe we can become a

really close friend, because my carelessnes, I lost that chance, so

this is still nothing . . . . "

After I said that, now the second daughter-san smiling brightly .

"Would you really want me, to become your friend?"(Mitsuha)

The second daughter-san nodding quickly .

I don't have any choice now, right?

After that, I chitchat with the second daughter-san, and before

leaving them, I said many thanks and sorry to the Count family,

then I withdrew .

There is no doubt, the rumor will spread out to the other nobles

who heard and watch our situation like how intimate Viscount Yamano

and Count Pasteur by giving out my mother's ring . even so, I am a

bit relieved that my task has been completed .

" . . . That was Overkill"

And I was scolded by Earl Bozes .

Why . . . . .

"Oh, that reminds me, where are Iris-sama and Theodore-sama?"

"Only both of us come here today, it's just the birthday party of

the second son here, we supposed to not participate here, its

because of a certain someone's problems, that's why we are here . . . "

Aah~ I am sorry~

"Mitsuha!"

Suddenly my name is called from behind and so I look back,

"Oh, Adelaide-chan, long time no see~!"

The (wild) Adelaide-chan appeared! She is the eldest daughter of

Viscount Liner who previously her debut party organized by me, and

now she is surrunded by a few boys and girls .

She is quite popular, isn't it? Could it be, because of her debut

party?

No way, no way, originaly Adelaide-chan is a good girl, so isn't it

natural for her to be so popular? . . . . . .

I talked with Adelaide-chan for a while . The other children who

stuck to her one by one scattered, and I was able to talk with ease

to the other men and women that age are close to mine until the end

of party . That remind me of the past, when around junior high

school and that was fun .

Maybe because I am with the other nobles children, the Earl left me

there not a long ago . Well, he must also talk with the other

nobles, it's not like he must be with me forever .

Alexis-sama always stood beside me though, somehow this is a bit

unsettling . Alexis-sama is young and popular with mostly girls .

Thanks to the last incident, he is treated as the Heroes at the

Defensive Battle in the Kingdom . Besides he is used to always woo-

ing with any girl in the past even the Earl's servant . What's wrong

with this sudden change of personality?

Suddenly, he said something to me .

"Mitsuha, you are the head/owner of your house name aren't you? at

least you must talk to the other nobles househead properly because

the conversation is different from the ordinary noble's child

talk . . . "

"Eeeh . . . "

Even though I had a lot of fun here . . .

But, oh well, I think what he said is true

Even the other nobles children understand it with the disappointed face,

I feel sorry for them, but I can't help it .

It can't be helped, really, so where do I start from, talking face

to face?

But, I didn't recognize each of them . . . . .

Oh, by the way, I do not remember the second daughter-san's name of

Earl Pasteur .

Wait, I haven't heard anyone recall her name from the first place, right?

Maybe next time I have to remember her name before I see her again,

that would be bad if I don't know her name after all . . . . .
