Sir, Ive brought Mitsuha-sama
Unlike the previous eting with an aristocratic form, now it has the form of an informal family dinner with a friend invited . There is no need for pretentious wording .
And when they saw Mitsuha guided by Stefan enter the dining room, the five mbers of the Boses family stopped breathing .
Shining brilliant white dress, sparkling enal shoes . A large pearl necklace of an unknown price on her neck . A contrast of white dress and jet black hair with a necklace that shouldnt have existed in this world . But even that just plays a supporting role to complent the beauty of the girl .
As if ti has stopped, a mont of silence just passes .
Katsun!
Klaus restarts after wincing for a mont from the footstep purposely made by Stefan . Then the others also begin to move . Awkwardly . Iriss eyes are directed at the necklace and doesnt break her line of sight .
Thank you for inviting
Mitsuha lightly greeted in courtesy and sat on a seat .
U, um, welco . This is a family gathering so it is not necessary to worry very much about form, manners, wording, and the other things . Enjoy your al with ease . Otherwise, this wonderful al wouldnt taste very good
Mitsuha smiled and replied with an okay to Klaus words .
During the al, an unbroken conversation continued . Klaus introduces his wife and children to Mitsuha to apologize for not introducing his family in the previous eting, with topics like the Boses territorys special products and delicious specialty dishes, the fun conversations continued on, and then the al finally ended and there were only tea, refreshnts, liquor, and side dish s left on the table . The main subject begins at last . Everyone was wrapped up in tension, including Mitsuha .
Ah, Miss Mitsuha
Y, yes!
Mitsuhas voice cracks at Klauss words .
No, no, its not like Ill eat you, so take it easy .
Yes
Even if its said to take it easy, impossible things are impossible .
Who are you? I want you to answer honestly if you can .
Well, it is finally ti for the performance .
Yes, its really true that I ca from a different place from this continent . Although I gave a family na in order to et the earl, now that I left my country and gone to this continent my position and social status has no aning
Everything is true . Mitsuha ca from a place other than this continent and announced her family na to et the earl . Whether it is completely her real na or not is another story .

The reason why I left my country, well, I guess it would be called a succession problem .
My father died of sickness and was natural for my gentle and bright brother to succeed the title, but for so reason there were weak-minded people who insisted that I should succeed it instead of my brother . I left the house while leaving behind a letter before those people could carry up and do sothing bad . Perhaps, the people who wanted to carry up wanted to press their sons towards to usurp the title after I took over . Because I would be found and brought back if I was nearby, I took a ship to another continent .
What I brought along is this necklace, which is a part of my personal belongings and my mothers keepsake
Mitsuha explains her elaborated story .
Ah~ . I feel like I can understand the feelings of those who tried to endorse this girl . Im sure theyll be rolling around in regret after learning she has fled the country because of them .
Klaus who believed Mitsuhas made-up story, pity the nonexistent vassal .
Thats why I cant go back to my country anymore, and I want to live in this country if I can . I think Ill have the funds for that if I sell my mothers nto, this necklace
S, sell it!
Y, you, do you you know what you are saying!
Oh, yes, its made from real pearls so I thought I could sell it at a reasonable price . Uh, is it a fake or sothing?
Y, you!
Bang, bang, Iris hit the table out of excitent .
You know, pearls can have a range of different prices . Color, shape, size, the thickness of the nacre, and many others things .
And, this necklace, its shape is close to a true sphere while being the largest size, the depth of its color shows the thickness of its layers, in the first place whats with the grains uniformity!
One or two grains are fine . Even if there is a good pearl . They can be made into a ring or earrings, a hairpin or a chest ornant at most . But, is it possible that such pearls lined up in a necklace?
How many shellfish do you think you will find one pearl! Among them, what percentage of them can be used for accessories? And, a necklace with the finest grains and color? Theres none! Like theres a way to gather enough to make thisss~?
Bang Bang Bang! Pounding the table again and again .
The children are backing away from the threatening attitude of their usually gentle mother .
Em, if youd like, I can hand it over to Iris-sama
Iris stiffens from Mitsuhas explosive remark . And, slowly moving only the top of neck she looked at Klaus .
The pale Klaus fearfully asked his wife .
I, Iris I wonder how much is the market price
Market? Theres no such thing, its sothing that shouldnt exist . Sothing that shouldnt exist in this world, a priceless treasure one of a kind throughout the world . A status that will absolutely never be overco by anyone, being able to boast throughout the world forever . A dream item that can leave your na in the world just by owning it . Do you think so king or rich man could spare money to get it?
Oh, Ill tell you just in case, auctions are useless . Therell be a scramble and bloodshed, the seller will disappear on the sa day to have them vomit out the source
Heeee! Beyond expectations!!
I thought that it would sell high in a world without aquaculture, but not that high Although I did think that if its cheap on Earth itll be expensive here but cultured pearl necklace was over-spec .
Would it been better to get one worth 300,000 to 500,000 instead of the highest class worth 1 . 3 million? Or would it been better to use other artificial jewelry?
The jewelry was anticipated to cause turmoil on the market and start a search for its origin so the plan was to take it to the earl instead so it wouldnt flow in the market and also to get both money and backers in a single shot from its purchase . Thats why its a high-end product with no mistakes .
Ah, thats right!
Iris-sama, in that case couldnt the necklace be divided and the parts sold separately hee!
Iris was staring with the eyes of a murderer .
Divide! This treasure! This necklace of a goddess! You, do you want to pick a fight with a god!!
Mou, I have no idea what to do
After silence once again continued for a while, Mitsuha was forced to push the original plan .
Um, if this can not be sold, then Im stuck in a country I dont know anything about without money or acquaintances . What I need right now isnt a necklace that is beautiful but useless, but money that supports life, money .
But its a nto of your mother
I think my mother would be happier if I sold the necklace and live rather than starve to death with it
W, Well, thats certainly
And also I want to give it to Iris . Being part of the earls family, you wont be forced to tell its source, and it will not flow to the market and cause confusion
B, but its price
Klaus becos stiff .
If its enough to be able to start a store in the capital thats all I need . Ill do my best on my own after that!
Mitsuha-san, you, such a thing
Iris is astounded .
Its okay . Besides
Mitsuha looks above Iris head and says .
I want Iris-sama to have it . And when I want to rember mother, if Iris-sama wearing it holds tight .
As Mitsuha said so, Iris was trembling with tears floating to the corners her eyes .
Mitsuha-chan!!
Kicking down the chair, Iris runs towards Mitsuha and hugs her .
Iris-sama
Yes, its working!
In this world, there are neither movies nor TV, and barely any books for entertainnt . Even the upper class has few opportunities to be exposed to stories such as in theaters, or when nannies and mothers tell bedti stories . In other words, they have no immunity .
The earls family got hooked easily to the template tear jerker . They werent foolish on the contrary, although they are capable theyre also a good family . It was just as the information Mitsuha collected . Things might have been different if profits and losses were involved, but for from profits and losses, there is only profit for the earl .
The place becos calm and the conversation becos gentle . The earl familys children who couldnt get a word in so far due to the rapid developnts in the conversation were able finally able to join in . Everyone was itching to talk to Mitsuha .
Mitsuha, your beautiful black hair and mysterious black eyes, its the color of miracles that the Goddess has given to you only
Oh, most people in my country have this color .
Boses familys son Alexis, 17 years old . Sink .
He hit on the girl, but he isnt a bad man . He just simply loves pretty girls .
Mitsuha, that versatile knife that father got, its amazing, dont you have anything else you have brought from your country?
The second son Theodor, 15 years old . A thoughtful, intelligent face . He would be the magician in ga terms .
Oh, I have a normal folding knife . Yes, this is it .
Mitsuha rolls up the hem of the dress in a big way to take sothing out after so rustling and puts it on the table .
Mi, Mitsuha-chan!
Next to Beatrice the yelling daughter, Alexis and Theodore beca red
Huh? Did I do sothing?
Please be careful because it is sharp
While saying that, the knife locked with the blade out is presented to Theodor .
Amazing
Oh, Ill sell it if you want
Huh?
No, I have it for self-defense but theres another one . How about a piece of gold?
I will buy it!
Theodore had a quick answer .
Mitsuha has sowhat learned about the monetary values of this country in the conversation during the al . No, of course she also learned about it in the village, but she felt the information she heard in that village wasnt very useful
As a result, it was judged that one gold coin would have a feeling of roughly 100,000 yen . For general store Mitsuha, it would be a conscientious price if it does not go ten tis the purchase price . It is not a big amount for a noble rich kid . Well, its that goshukugi kakaku . , and also known as initial service .
(tn note: is a term for the price of products that just ca out before it lowers later on, but thats usually double not ten tis)
Ah, I wonder if its bad to be hiding a weapon while at a nobles dinner table . Well, it sounds like they dont mind .
Actually, it was very bad . Fortunately, this is the Boses family and they let it go since they thought that Mitsuha was a beautiful yet helpless girl so it cant be helped if its for self-defense . Ill be a big problem with other nobles families .

Maybe because he beca envious seeing Theos sparkling eyes after receiving the knife, Alexis draws closer to Mitsuha .
Anything else, is there anything else!
Um, the other one is necessary for self-defense and I cant sell what is needed to travel If its sothing that I brought from my country that I dont need, lets see, theres only a change of underwear .
Ill buy it!!
Cold gazes stab into Alexis who shouted by reflex .
Alexis, you
Elder brother Alexis
As if Iris and Beatrice were looking at filth .
Klaus who was barely safe from unthinkingly saying Ill calms down .
And then the voice of Mitsuha echoes .
Thats five silver coins
Youre selling it!!
One piece of gold
Unexpectedly, Theo joins the bid .
Eventually, the negotiations failed due to the mothers intervention .
One gold coin, equivalent to 10,000 yen . Too bad .
No, its unused . Of course .
By the way, Mitsuha-chan, you are going to put your shop in the capital? What kind of shop is it?
The eldest daughter yet the youngest child, Beatrice-chan, blond hair and blue eyes . She really feels like a noble lady, but there isnt any tsun only the adorable feeling of a 13 years old .
She seems to think Mitsuha is younger . However, that cant be helped . Their height is almost the sa, rather feels Beatrice a little taller . And, the chest, about C size . Mitsuha shed tears in her heart .
Yes, Im going to make a general store
General store?
Beatrice makes a blank look .
Yes, a variety of small and costic products, such as cute accessories, especially things that girls want, and a few practical items . And I want to take advantage of my countrys knowledge and do a consultation corner
Wow, that seems interesting! But what is a consultation corner?
I think that there are many things that are different between here and my country, and sotis there will be things that are serious in this country that we already settled in our country, that why I wonder if theres sothing that could be useful
Hou, that certainly seems interesting
Klaus slips in the conversation .
Earl, do you have anything you are troubled by?
Well, sothing Im troubled by, huh
After thinking for a while, Klaus says with a bitter smile .
The wheat yields in this territory has declined recently even though there is no particular cause, but there isnt anything that can be done about that
Eh, isnt that soil depletion from monocropping or a lack of fertilizer?
Eh
Mitsuha explained . If only the sa crops are planted, the sa nutrients will be taken and the soil becos barren . Plant other crops and apply crop rotation . Grass . Compost . Mulch leaves . However, specific crop nas and details are omitted . There is a fee for that .
Klaus bites on . Question after question . While wetting the thirsty throat with liquor, the conversation shifts fast and spreads to other topics .
The developnt of a new product! There are two types, things that can only be made in the Boses territory . And sothing that can be made anywhere but has an overwhelming difference in quality . Its branding, branding!
If you increase the tax rate the tax revenue will go down! This is common sense! Increase dostic demand, increase purchasing power . And attract rchants, rchants!
Invention! Inventions make lots of money in one shot! Lets think of sothing that can be a new invention!
The talk spreads further and Mitsuhas voice is getting bigger .
Sothing is strange . Thinking that Iris sees that Mitsuhas hands were not holding a glass of tea or juice, but liquor . However, the information that Mitsuha is pouring out now would be useful for the Boses territory . Iris gently looks the other way . She is truly a wife of a noble .
Mitsuha, you know, you have to dig a hole!
Oh~~, what is with that, Dad! Ah
Mitsuha stopped moving .
Why was I mistaken? Was really just a slip of the tongue? Its sohow fun . It felt like the stupid conversations at ho .
Even though I didnt cry . Even though I endure it that ti . That ti too, and that ti too
Mitsuha who was shedding tears with her head hanging down was suddenly hugged gently and softly around her shoulders .
Its okay . Its okay . Its okay to call father
Uaaaaaaaaaa~!
Clinging to the manly and thick chest, Mitsuha wept .
And fell asleep like that before she noticed .
