Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

>The fuss even involved their fathers and grandparents.
And much more…

Learning from their experiences, there’s no way they could believe that the queen and the elder princesses would give up that easily.

“…it will be fine.
Maybe things would calm down after hiding for a few years…” (Nereya-chan)

“ “ “…too long!! Your [a while] is too long!!” “ “                      

(Mitsuha’s POV)

“… so that’s why I came.
Please take care of me for a while…” (Nereya-chan)

“Who is going to take care of you!?!?” (Mitsuha)

Nereya, the third princess of Vanel Kingdom, suddenly showed up at the shop and said something ridiculous.
She won’t yield no matter how much I refused, so I had no choice but to take her to the second floor.

“Ooh, so you will guide me to…my room…” (Nereya-chan)

Princess Nereya, who looked at the room on the second floor, becomes speechless.
Yeah, there’s nothing that indicates someone lives here.
No bed, no chest, no chair, no table, nothing…

Right, this place is just a camouflage that runs as a product store.
I leased this place so I can transfer to the center of this city without hassle and to create an alibi that [I live here] so that it wouldn’t be unnatural if I’m not staying at an inn during my stay in this town.

I have never slept here because I don’t want to risk sleeping alone in an enemy’s land.
Even the toilet and bathroom on the first floor have never been used.
…I always go to my home in japan using transfer every time I want to go to the toilet.

“You… do not… live here…?” (Nereya-chan)

Princess Nereya said so with a stunned expression.

“Right.
This is just a store I run.
My actual living place is different, which is a secret.
I don’t really like being attacked or kidnapped by those who are looking for money or a deal from my family, after all” (Mitsuha)

It’s not something that can be done just because [I do not like it], though.
Well, it’s only half a joke, just a wordplay.
And…

“Of course, the royal family, the nobles, and those who are related to the royal palace are no exception” (Mitsuha)

Right, that means, I don’t intend to tell anything about it even to a princess.

“……… I’m at loss” (Nereya-chan)

“No, don’t ask me…” (Mitsuha)

Yes, I have no intention of dealing with such troubles, and I have no obligation to do so either.

…However, setting [Nereya the Third Princess] aside, I can’t take such a cruel attitude towards [Nereya, a member of the “Society”].

…Damn it.

“…so that’s why I brought her.
Please take care of her for a while…” (Mitsuha)

“Who is going to take care of you!?” (Mitchan)

Mitchan is angry at us who suddenly came to her mansion and brought up such a ridiculous thing.

Yeah, I feel like I’ve heard this exchange somewhere…

“But I can’t think of anyone else…” (Mitsuha)

“Y-you stupid girl with a few friends and no common sense!!!” (Mitchan)

“Gaa~n!!” (Mitsuha)

“Gaa~n!!” (Nereya-chan)

I expressed my shock with onomatopoeia and Princess Nereya imitating it.

“Now, Micheline, even if they lack common sense, they are more or less your friends, right? You don’t need to scold them to that extent.
As a lady, you shouldn’t use such foul words.
Do not talk in such a place and invite them inside for the time being!” (Marquis Mitchell)

As we were talking at the front door, the Marquis, who had come out of the study and noticed the fuss, called out from behind the door.
Apparently, he could hear Mitchan’s yelling voice, but he couldn’t hear me and Princess Nereya who were speaking normally.
…in other words, the Marquis doesn’t know who is Mitchan talking with.

And of course, the Marquis, who came out from the front door to reprimand Mitchan and invite his daughter’s guests inside, finally seen the face of the other person who was shouted at and called a stupid girl by his daughter.

“H-he—her highness, the third princess~~!?” (the Marquis)

Ah, he fell down…
