230 . Do your best! Soldier-kun 2
ah, sorry, please sit down (the commandant)
The commandant who finally noticed that were still standing said so and suggested us to sit on the reception seats .
And he also got up from his office chair and moved to the reception seat .
As expected, we cant sit down before the commandant does, so we have to wait
Soldier-kun, too, seed to have received adequate education even though he is at the bottom of the rank, and he responded adequately .
Well, in the military world, it is said that when getting in a passenger car, the higher-up cos first, and when getting on a bus, boat, or elevator, the higher-up cos after my Oniichan said that .
Then, taking up his offer, I unreservedly proceed to sit following the commandant Soldier-kun, too, quickly sit down!
well? (the commandant)
Yes, I asked everyone who was accustod to drinking expensive alcohol to sample . If the result shows that its going to be popular, I was thinking of selling it here (Mitsuha)
Selling it? ah, before that, stop with that way of talking . Sohow its unpleasant (the commandant)
Urusai wa!
Well, its not that my way of speaking is strange, its just that the honorifics that Ive attached may not co out right since we used to speak casually at the bar . It would be unpleasant if a good friend suddenly spoke in honorifics one day . Its the sa as that, maybe .
got it . However, you cant drag us to a court-martial over improper behavior or rudeness later! (Mitsuha)
Which tyrant do you take for!! (the commandant)
Setting aside, I would feel guilty if I were to drag Soldier-kun into trouble as well . So I have to make sure about that
My family imports food, alcohol, and many other things from other countries . That liquor is one of them, and I wanted to see people who were used to drink liquor of that level to taste it . And it doesnt help anything by just listening to complints and words, so I observed how everyones reaction .
And then, we decided to import it because it seed to be well received but it was very popular even in the country of origin, so it was hard to obtain, and it was only affordable at a high price . So, theres only so much amount that can be imported
Well, there are so from other makers that have almost the sa quality, so if youre good with a similar one, itll be convenient its roughly comparable to that one (Mitsuha)
Right, the 12 y/o single malt from Hakushu I brought that ti is out of production .
Well, theres no way the 12 y/o product would be [rapidly mass-produced due to favorable reception], after all Even if they were to prepare a lot now, it wouldnt make sense if the popularity subsided 12 years later .
Of course, I still could get so if I searched on the internet and pay tens of thousands yen for it, but theres no need to do that far .
Indeed, I think even if I get it at a super high price, I still can sell it to nobles, riches, or military officials at several tis the price I paid .
But I dont want to do that far, and I would feel bad towards all sake enthusiasts on Earth . So the other products from the sa maker or the equivalent products from the other makers should do just fine .
Please do! (the commandant)
Imdiate answer!? And I feel like I heard [kukuku] from the foul face of his
Aaah, hes not only thinking to drink and enjoy it himself but also brags about it to others, absolutely
Most senior officers in this country are nobles, so no matter how expensive they are, the price wouldnt be a problem . The problem is to get what others cant get, no matter how much money they have
However, Japanese sake is already in circulation among the nobles and wealthy people of the royal capital
Well, the number is still few, and indeed, the ones that equivalent to the Hakushu 12 y/o hasnt been sold yet .
And, for this commandant, Im just [a daughter of a naval favored noble family that he t at his favorite bar] and [a female friend of a young soldier who is working in the fleet] . Still, if the liquor I prepared were to spread through this person, it will be exposed sooner or later the fact that I am the [Viscount Mitsuha von Yamano], who is now famous in the royal capital, I an
Be it noble or military officialif theyve been working in this town of naval port and never got the chance to go to the royal capital, and that they havent attended a noble party, of course, they wont get the opportunity to know . And of course, about the alcohol that were handling, too .
But if theyve attended a party Ive been to, or if theyve drunk the alcohol the Rephilia Trade handles
If they just drank the alcohol, then they would just think [Ah, its the Rephilia Trades liquor], but I just said [were importing] earlier then they would deduce that I am either of the Rephilia Trade or the Yamano Viscounty . And if anyone who knows that far hears the na [Mitsuha], then they would realize that I am the Viscount Yamano herself .
But its not like I need to hide that fact, so I dont mind . If I wanted to hide it, I wouldve been using an alias from the beginning .
As long as theres no contradiction about my actions in terms of the number of days it takes to move between the royal capital and this city, theres no problem . I didnt really show up in public anyway . since I usually live in Japan or the Old Continent .
And even if theres a contradiction, I dont think anyone would bother to look up the number of days Im staying and compare them . Theres no point in doing that after all .
Well, thats that . But Soldier-kun has been in figurine state without even saying anything since we entered this room .
Well, it cant be helped . I was the one who was called this ti because there was a request, and Soldier-kun is just a sailor, so its not weird if he has nothing to talk to the commandant . Hes just tagging along to accompany . He just ca as a bonus, so to speak .
But I would hate it if our relationship becos awkward after this, now that he learned that I was in a position to talk with the commandant
And that knife, can I get another? (the commandant)
Yes yes . Just like Theodore-sama said, all n like knives . My Oniichan also said that, though
But I guess it would be boring if its just a similar folding knife . Lets hear if he has a request then
What would you like? A similar folding-knife? Or a sheath knife? Dagger knife, boot knife, tool knife, or sothing (Mitsuha)
Hmm, for the ti being, Ill ask for a folding knife (the commandant)
For the ti being? So you will ask for more if you like it!?
Well, he might be thinking that the one that is not the folding knife wouldnt be much different from the one that already exists in this country . Indeed, the others dont have a unique chanism, so he might think that the design would be just a little different .
But actually, it is quite different from the steel material used, the grip material, the ergonomic design, and so on . If he looks at the folding knife, hell notice that, though
Well, except for survival knives and combat knives .
Or maybe he just doesnt like dagger knives or boot knives because they sound like a hidden weapon . Perhaps he also doesnt know what a tool knife is, so maybe he thought it was a shabby tool .
Even though its very useful, not as a weapon, but as a tool for military use
There are many other small items that sailors and soldiers might find useful, but theres no need to teach them what would be convenient . Its sothing that is limited to those that dont have a great influence and has to be personally handed over by .
I will be troubled if they think that our science is that advanced .
It doesnt matter if they think that we have good alcohol and food . Its not like such things are deeply linked with scientific power . If this werent the case, Britain would be less developed than the developing countries . The sa applies to the works of art .
And in fact, so of the rchandise wholesaled to the Rephilia trade include those made in our territory . mainly the packaging, I an .
Well, we can at least make pottery in the villages of our territory . They were able to make it in the Jomon era or Yayoi era, after all . (Note: Jomon = 14,000 1000 BC, Yayoi = 1000 BC 300 AD)
If its not using a full-scale kiln, but just a bit better than burning on a field, and well, a little better than the Yayoi style, its not that difficult .
Of course, theres no way we can make a profit just by selling such a thing as a container .
So I used it as a container for salt or spices .
I buy what the territory folks made, and put liquid, powder, and pasty products from the Earth in them and sell as a whole . The people of the New Continent who bought it are free to reuse it as a container or throw it away after they used up the content .
so, what Im trying to say is that its all good if the people of the New Continent who saw those containers thought that our civilization level isnt that much different from theirs .
We have spices, delicious foods, and jewelry, but from their point of view, were just a country that doesnt seem to have that advanced civilization .
Yeah, its a [good country] that they dont have to be vigilant at all . Umu-umu .
And so, after confirming the budget for the knife and the alcohol, how many he wants within that budget, what type he wants, whether he wants stronger or weaker alcohol, whether he wants whiskey or brandy, etc . we finally left his office

By the way, Soldier-kuns attitude towards hasnt changed at all since then .
Apparently, he seed to think that I was a daughter of a wealthy house, and from my facial features, he thought that we were an immigrant house from the beginning .
So its no wonder that I have relatives in other countries, and its quite possible my parents are traders because of that connection . He said that it was within the range of his assumption .
Well, since Ive been acting as a rich girl since the beginning, its not strange if he thinks so .
But it was wonderful of him that he doesnt let pay for him or try to use even though he thinks Im rich . As expected, a gentleman of the Vanel Kingdom!
Theres no way he has an ulterior motive or sothing like that, of course .
right?
