Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement
Chapter 91: The Law of Yakiniku

(TL Note: The title is a parody to the idiom, “The law of the jungle (弱肉強食)”)

Sabine-chan finally answered my question in the next morning .

(Sabine) 「I think that both father and mother, my sisters and my brothers are more willing for me to live in a new land rather than die with everyone… . . and I also prefer that .

I want to live together with Mitsuha-neesama and Colette, and even if I will be alone, I still have father’s and mother’s, the royal blood in me, thus I could revive the royalty again in this kingdom!」

Sabine-chan’s serious face, was a face of a fine royalty .

(Sabine) 「And, of course, I will continue to travel with Mitsuha-neesama in the future . If neesama looks like she’s about to die, the main party will also be destroyed anyway . 」

(Sabine) 「N-neesama, I can’t breathe… . . . 」

Before I know it, I was hugging Sabine-chan as hard as I could .

This whole day, I taught everything about how to use things in the house, how to deal with emergencies, the location of the hidden documents and other important things that were buried deep, and such .

I made notes of every important things . Even if someone sees the notes, those who are from this world cannot read it while those who are from the other world have no problem reading it .

For our lunch, I had ordered a pizza .

I was looking forward to their reaction, but the result is, just as expected .

I have taught them how to make an international call to the captain and I also have told beforehand about the hiding place for the DVD that contains my messages . Just in case, I have also taught them how to send an international mail and the mail box . Next is…, well, I should probably teach them little by little .

For our dinner, we went to a yakiniku restaurant .

It’s not an all-you-can-eat buffet, but a bit expensive place instead .

Well, I can’t let a princess eat a lot of strange meat and make a fool of Japanese meat dishes .

And the biggest reason is that it can be listed as an expense . Yup, as food expenses from the king that is .

(Sabine) 「Wh…wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wha!?」

(Colette) 「*nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom*

As Colette-chan is out of the question, it seems that this is the first time for Sabine-chan to see a high grade meat which is our Japanese meat .

Umu, ain’t it overwhelming? Our forces!

(Mitsuha) 「Sorry, Sabine-chan . I really wanted us to have a more delicious meat, but it seems like it’s a bit too expensive……」

Said me, who didn’t seem to feel sorry at all and made a grin .

Colette-chan didn’t react when I said there was a more delicious meat, but instead Sabine-chan responded .

Gununuu, she said .

Yup, of course, I realized that I was only boasting about Japanese meat .

Fuhaha! It’s good to resent at one’s heart’s content, you know!

I don’t want them to eat a sliced raw beef nor yukhoe .

(TL Note: Yukhoe is a korean dish that is a seasoned raw beef topped with an egg yolk)

This shop is safe because the meat is properly processed . Though, if they eat those dishes at a strange restaurant without me knowing it, they will probably instruct a cook from the other world to make something similar . Hence, it could make a catastrophe .

Thus, we can only eat meat that had been well cooked .

Of course, it’s not like that there is no menu other than meat in a yakiniku restaurant .

After having finished with the meat, it was time for the desserts . We are just like the people who naturally says, 「Sushi and fruits are going to different stomach!」 . Thus, we ordered ice cream… With every kind of flavor .

(Everyone) 「「「Uuu……」」」

*drooling*……

And then, there were three people who didn’t learn anything from their past mistakes… .

At night, we took a bath together and slept together in my semi-double bed . ……even if it made my room narrower, I bought a replacement bed because I fell from my previous bed too many times before . I didn’t think it would be useful for days like this .

We will restart the journey again from tomorrow .

This detour was a necessary thing after all .

From now on, when I take my eyes off for more than a certain period of time, I will bring them here for safety . Otherwise, I cannot leave the two of them, especially a princess without a guard, alone in that world .

If they are taken as hostages, I can rescue them if I know where they are .

But what if they are not taken as hostages and become slaves instead?

In that world, I don’t think it can be discovered by an amateur alone .

Therefore, they need to get used to my house and the surroundings in preparation for an unforeseen situation when waiting for a long time here . It’s also in order to prepare and cope with their situation when I can never come back again .

I have already considered another option if Sabine-chan doesn’t intend to live in this world .

But Sabine-chan had chosen this . Hence, there’s no need for other options .

……Colette-chan?

The confirmation for her decision was already over a long time ago .

Which one did she choose?

It was needless to say .

At first, Colette-chan thought about her parents, but surprisingly, Colette-chan said that she’s not a single child and has a brother and a sister instead .

I didn’t know that!

Her sister got married to a person from the neighboring village as soon as she turned fifteen and her brother is working in Bozes’ territory . And surprisingly also, it seems that Colette-chan’s mother is currently pregnant with her new brother or sister .

……because the couple were left alone…, is it that!? It’s that, right!?

Jezz~ Colette-chan, I could take you right now, right? If it’s money, I will pay!

Well, even if Colette-chan said that she has a brother and sister, when a kingdom decide to invade, the person in the family who is in danger the most would be Colette-chan herself .

Farmers are unrelated to who the ruler is .

The new ruler also can not treat the new citizen like nothing . They are farmers who are originally the source of tax revenue .

So, even if the country is invaded, it has nothing to do with Colette-chan’s parents if there’s no enlistment to be carried out at the time . In addition, there’s no way that such a rural village on the edge can be a battlefield .

However, Colette-chan is different .

A retainer candidate and pretty girl .

Yeah, she would be a sight to see in the eyes of an executioner or a disciplinarian . Obviously, she would be in great demand for the people who wants her to be a slave or a pet .

If she foolishly wants to stay behind, not only her, but her family will also be in trouble . Therefore, Colette-chan also said that her parents seem to have stated 『In the unlikely event, run away together with Mitsuha and be happy in the new world together』 to her .

……No, wait a minute! Somehow I felt that there’s an unsettling word…? Well, whatever .

And that’s why .

Even when a new fleet from that sailing boat’s kingdom comes, it’s decided that they will choose and bring back some slaves who looks healthy whether they are young people or children because they will be carried for a long distance . As a child, they only need less water and food .

Yup, even in this case, Colette-chan will be popular without a doubt! The person herself won’t be happy though .

Yes, Colette-chan and I are already in the same boat .

And now, Sabine-chan too .

Well, they will be released if they go out to be brides though .

Once they get married, it’s not me who protects them, but it’s their husband’s job .

(Be happy in the new world together)

Colette-chan’s voice came in my mind, but it doesn’t mean that, right?

……right?

The next day, after having a simple breakfast in the kitchen, we departed immediately .

We went to the gas station first to refuel the RV .

As it was my first time to refuel this car, the store clerk was surprised while seeing me . Mainly, in terms of whether or not I could reach the accelerator and brakes .

I didn’t use the self-service . I’m afraid of spilling out the gas by mistake, and when I get out of the car and do various things, adults will come near and it will be troublesome .

……maybe, I look like an unlicensed middle schooler who took out her parent’s car without permission .

It was like that when I used my small light car, but what would they say if I use this car… .

Because of that, it’s not a problem if it’s here because I have refueled my small light car many times .

I should convinced him that my feet can reach properly first .

It should be fine if I just buy the gas and transport it to another world without having to come with the car, you said?

No no, if I need to fill this car full, how many times do I have to transfer to a not-so-popular place with a 20 liter jerrycan?

It’s also hard to carry and if I constantly buy and carry such a large amount of gasoline, I will definitely be reported, or even be questioned by the police officer . There’s something called a fire control law in the society .

……Wait, you’re not allowed to put the gas in a container at the self-stand! It’s already an out from the beginning! Dangerous, dangerous……

Next, we got into the parking lot of the supermarket, chose an area that has no sign of life, and transferred .

If we transfer while moving, it will be dangerous depending on the actual situation . We could only move on the toll route with this big car, thus it cannot be done blindly .

When we arrived, I transferred again and went to the water treatment plant in my hometown . Then, from the place where the water was stored after precipitation, filtration, injecting chlorine, and such, before being distributed to the town, I transferred with the water tank which has the same shape of the RV’s tank .

Yup, it’s the water supply for the car .

This is the most comfortable moment in the car, considering the time, hygiene, etc .

……Isn’t this considered as stealing?

Uh……, I will earn a lot and pay a lot of resident tax, so please overlook it for now!

(King) 『White Rook, this is King One!』

As soon as I transferred again and returned to the car, a call from his Majesty came .

Yup, the power generator is always turned on while driving, hence the radio is also turned on .

(Mitsuha) 「Yes, this is White Rook」

(King) 『Where have you been!? Do you know how worried I was……』

No no, I have been telling you that I can’t make a contact when we’re in the town and not riding the car except on the planned time .

(Audyst) 『White Rook, this is White Home, what were you doing!? Don’t make such worries……』

It seems that the Earl from the main party also had turned on the transmitter and waited for me to just make a complaint . I have told them that sending a transmission uses a lot of divine power, so were they entrusting the call to his Majesty?

Ah, 『White Home』 is the main party’s call sign . The Allied faction is 『White』, the opposing forces are 『Black』, and 『Gray』 is for something suspicious .

The word 『Home』 was from 『Home base』 . That’s because they are more or less, the main party .

The reason why I didn’t use 『Base』 is… . . it has the same name as the sunken warship, thus it will have a bad omen after all . It’s important to research, you know, yup .

(TL Note: A gundam reference, White Base)
