Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 181

181. 3rd floor is open

“So that’s why, I request the permission to enter the 3rd floor!” (Sabine-chan)

“What is this [So that’s why] crap!?” (Mitsuha)

After we back from the Kingdom of Vanel in the new continent, I dropped Colette off in the territory, and then went to the [General Store Mitsuha], where Sabine-chan was already waiting in front of the store.

“You took Colette somewhere again, didn’t you!? I demand something to make up for that!!!” (Sabine-chan)

A~h, she can’t stand to be treated differently with Colette-chan, huh… That’s why she wants something to level out the difference. I don’t think I can retreat here. Now I’m done for….

“I’ve already seen the house in Japan anyway, seeing the third floor of [General Store Mitsuha] isn’t going to be any different, is it!?” (Sabine-chan)

U~n, indeed, that is right… I didn’t put anything that my house in Japan doesn’t have on the third floor. The weapons are stored at the Wolf Fang’s Base when they’re not needed, and Sabine-chan is familiar with things like TV, blu-ray, air conditioner, fridge, and game consoles anyway.

There’s a laptop, but it’s not connected to the internet, and Sabine-chan hasn’t learned how to use it either. To begin with, Sabine-chan never touches things without my permission, especially if I say [Never ever touch that] with a serious face. She’s a trustworthy girl on that point.

“And, if you give me permission to go in and out freely, I will open the store on behalf of you, neesama. Of course, I’ll leave the storekeeping to the maids, while I’m doing something else! Neesama, you’re so busy that you don’t have time to manage the store, right? I think it will be a lot easier if you leave it to me…” (Sabine-chan)

Ugh! It’s an appealing offer…

They would station some hidden escort anyway, so I don’t have to worry about security… There’s no particular problem as long as anyone other than Sabine-chan is prohibited on the second floor and above.

Ummm…

Mmmmmmmm….

“Mmmmmm… I-if you insist…” (Mitsuha)

Himemiko has fallen into the Devil’s whisper!!

“…and this is how you switch on the crime prevention mode. Since I removed the automatic trigger for the crossbow, I think a single mistake won’t instantly kill you, but still, it’s a big nuisance if the emergency bell rings in the middle of the night, so don’t do anything weird!! Depending on the circumstance, I will revoke your permit here!” (Mitsuha)

“Y-yeah, I get it!” (Sabine-chan)

Sabine-chan, who seems to understand what I mean seriously, answered with a serious expression.

“Also, only Sabine-chan can go to the third floor! The maids or escorts are prohibited to go to the second floor and above unless there’s a fire or intruder. And Sabine-chan can only pass through the second floor, you’re not allowed to touch anything there. The second floor is used only for storage anyway, and various traps are set up to avoid intruders, so it’s for Sabine-chan’s safety too. Do you get it?” (Mitsuha)

“Yup!” (Sabine-chan)

Like that, [General Store Mitsuha] employed a deputy manager. Along with her direct reports…

By the way, I, as a store manager, have no authority over the deputy manager’s direct reports…

“N-neesama, I have one other request…” (Sabine-chan)

“Hn? What is it?” (Mitsuha)

Well, she’s working here for free, so I’ll grant one or two of her requests.

“Umm… can I also bring my little brother and Chii-neesama here…” (Sabine-chan)

“Eh?” (Mitsuha)

Speaking of her younger brother, that is the fluffy healing prince, Rouen-kun right? And this [Chii-neesama] is the second princess, if I recall correctly.

Certainly, it might be lonely to watch DVDs and Blu-rays on the third floor alone. Rouen-kun and Chii-neesama might not understand the language of the videos, but if Sabine-chan translates it for them, everyone may have a good time. And they won’t come every day, but only occasionally. …otherwise, Sabine-chan won’t be able to enjoy the new releases leisurely.

Mmmmm…

“But the Crown Prince and the First Princess are not included right? (Mitsuha)

“Yup!” (Sabine-chan)

Is that so, you will cast away those two huh… just as usual, you still have dry attitude towards them, Sabine-chan…

But it’s probably in anticipation that I wouldn’t give her an OK if they were included, maybe…

Yes, I’m sure those two would use what they learn here for the Country’s interest. It’s their duty as members of Royal family, and it’s a right thing.

So Sabine-chan casted them away from the beginning, knowing that I would hate if I were forced to do something against my will… it doesn’t mean that they’re not getting along with each other.

…that’s the case, right?

It can’t be helped then…

“Approved!!” (Mitsuha)

Just like that, the fallen angel’s invasion of the [General Store Mitsuha] has begun…

“Transfer!” (Mitsuha)

This is the second floor of [General Store Mitsuha].

Since I allowed Sabine-chan to go to the third floor, she might be surprised if I suddenly appeared while she’s there. I don’t think she would be as far as having a heart attack, but still she might be having a hot tea and it’d be a mess if she spill it out, so I changed my transfer point to a room on the second floor. She might get a scald, and the clothes Sabine-chan wears are quite expensive…

Then, go upstairs while avoiding the piano wires that connected to the trigger to activate the [Laser stereoscopic hologram of a ghost and its sounds]. And open the door to the living room on the third floor.

“P-pardon for the intrusion…” (Chii-neesama)

Said the second princess while smiling, then she bowed. Both of her eyes are red…

Right, in the living room, Sabine-chan, her little brother Prince Rouen, and her big sister the second princess, Chii-neesama, gathered around the kotatsu while playing RPG and eating oranges.

There are a lot of empty bags of sweets, empty cans and bottles of juices are scattered around them.

“You…”

” ” “You?” ” “

” ” “You brats!!! Since when you’ve been in this room!!?” (Mitsuha)

Thus, ignoring Sabine-chan who desperately resisting, I put a time restrictions on games and DVDs.
