Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

Chapter 255

255 Birthday 5

Pa~n!

After the skit, I high-fived Beatrice-chan, who had just changed into a normal dress…… made by the nobleman’s clothing specialist manager…….

[The mother of perfection!] Mitsuha

[Ehehe~…] Beatrice

Beatrice-chan’s expression was cheerful, perhaps because her turn, which was not allowed to fail, had ended successfully, or perhaps because she was confident in the success of the skit. She doesn’t seem to be worried about the rest.

This is a great way to make sure that she gets the most out of her time with her family and friends. So, she can go to…….

[Beatrice-chan!] Sabine

Oh, Sabine-chan…

[You’re going to be my lady-in-waiting? You’re very much welcome!] Sabine

[[Who is?!!]]

……Apparently, they are mixing up the skit and the reality.

It is said that Beatrice-chan was Sabine-chan’s friend for a time, or rather a kind of senior, instructor, tutor. And based on this, she was set up as <the lady-in-waiting attached to the third princess> in the play, but since Sabine-chan has been exposed to many Japanese stories, I guess it’s about that……

Anyway, we don’t have much time now. This is a cavernous area under the stage and Beatrice-chan has to chat with everyone in the party hall as soon as she’s done changing, so there’s no time to waste here. So, she has to go to…….

[Beatrice-chan, leave Sabine-chan alone and go to the venue!] Mitsuha

[Yeah, I got it!] Beatrice

[Both of you are terrible!] Sabine

For today, Beatrice-chan is my priority. Sabine-chan, not so much. I’m sure Sabine-chan knows that, so no problem.

……Maybe it’s because Beatrice-chan, the star of today’s show, has monopolized me, so Sabine-chan getting a little irritable and annoying. I’m not sure what to do with her.

Beatrice-chan has already left to the crowd. The plan was to go around to each table to greet the adults and chat with the children in groups

As for the food and drinks, I’ve asked Marcel-san, the cooks and servants of Viscount Rainer’s family to help out, so there should be plenty of room to work with. Of course, I have prepared enough ingredients, so even if something unforeseen happens, I should be able to handle most of it. So there is no need for me to worry about it or interfere.

The purpose of this is to give Marcel-san some experience since he messed up during Adelaide-chan’s debutante ball.

Of course, the Bozes family’s chef is the one in charge, but Marcel-san has the upper hand when it comes to Yamano cuisine, so I want him and the Bozes family’s chef, who is a senior chef, to be able to improve each other’s skills and absorb each other’s knowledge.

……Yeah, the mother of perfection!

So I’m just going to go around the whole place and see if there’s anything unusual. Until the scheduled time…….

All right, I’m also going!

[Sabine-chan, you can stay here if you want, but I’m leaving you behind, you know?] Mitsuha

[Ah, no, wait for me!] Sabine

The venue was lined with many tables, where food and drinks were placed. Of course, in addition to that, waiters and waitresses with trays of drinks were circulating around the venue.

The lights were already on, brightly illuminating the courtyard, which should have been completely dark after sunset.

Of course, many people are surprised about this light, but the people in the military and the royal palace knows about the LED flashlight being sold in the General Store Mitsuha, so they are not making such a fuss. If someone doesn’t know about it, the ones who do know will say <Eh? You don’t know this?>. And then they will proceed to explain it.

The store has set a very high price for LED flashlights, making them <too expensive for the military to use in large quantities>. So, they are a luxury item, and we don’t have to worry about them being designated as military supplies.

The aristocracy and the rich can buy a few, or in a real war where they can’t spare the money, they can give them to the sentry or use them for signaling at night……

Well, anyway, so there is food and drink on the table…… Although, somewhat less.

Of course, there’s a reason for that.

That’s what I promised to Beatrice-chan after Adelaide-chan’s debutante ball.

The promise I made <Beatrice-chan’s debutante ball would include illumination parade, fireworks display, and food stalls>.

To fulfill this promise, Kuntz-san, a woodworker, and his apprentice, as well as his competitors, were invited to set up stalls along with the stage.

It’s not a full-blown food stall, it’s just a simple assembly, so it didn’t cost much. When the party is over, the wood can be taken apart and reused.

And the people who sell the products all servants have been trained to make only that one product.

The professional chefs have their hands full making regular dishes, so they don’t use it here.

……The orphans’ popcorn cart?

As expected, I can’t just bring the orphanage kids here to work.

I have my servants make and serve it, though, and popcorn is also available…….

Then there was pizza, takoyaki, grilled squid, candy apples, cotton candy, oden, skewers, yakitori, sushi, yakisoba, baby sponge cakes, hot dogs, tempura, and more.

We either rented or bought the equipment in Japan for things like tempura, takoyaki balls, and cotton candy, along with propane gas and generators. We used our own cooking utensils for baked goods that we could handle here.

We need to spend as much money locally as possible.

Of course, all the stores are <simulated stores> and do not take any money. The food served at the party is <just done that way>.

This time, I prepared cherry blossoms as a countermeasure for those who didn’t know how to eat the dishes or were reluctant to try them. I asked the Rainer family, the Bozes family, and other close friends to try it beforehand, and at the actual event, I asked them to pretend as if they were eating it for the first time and exaggeratedly marvel at it to guide everyone.

…… Okay, I see that Adelaide-chan is going around the stalls. Over there, Theodore-sama is eating a skewer. In addition, ordinary customers who are not cherry blossoms are beginning to flock to the stalls.

Good, good, good…

Let’s see, Beatrice-chan is at…….

Oh, there she is!

Beatrice-chan is alive and well. She’s on my front left side.

……Where is Exelion! (TN: (……って、どこのヱクセリヲンかッ！) Gunbuster reference. Maybe.)

U wa~a, she’s surrounded by men……

Many of them are quite a bit older and some are even completely in the <old man> category. I wonder if they are just here for a face-to-face greeting because they want to have a connection with the Bozes family, or if they are really trying to get their hands on our little Beatrice-chan……

No, it’s not unusual for aristocrats to get married with an age difference of 20 or 30 years since most of their marriages are political marriages anyway.

……Of course, even if God allows it, in Beatrice-chan’s case, such a thing is not allowed by me!

Maybe Count Bozes, Iris-sama, Alexis-sama, and Theodore-sama as well.

And most of all, there is no way that Beatrice-chan, who has seen me, Sabine-chan, and Colette-chan doing pretty much whatever we want and she also has a reward toy called <Beatrice’s Trading Company> in her hands, would accept such a thing.

Yes, Beatrice-chan is already <awakened>.

Okay, I’ll draw the enemies to us, as many as I can, as far away from her as I can…… but that’s it!

I can’t stand to be forced into something like that!

Oh, I’m not actually wearing a dress today.

I’m doing my best to organize Beatrice-chan’s debutante ball today, so I don’t have time to spend on anything else. So I put on the clerk’s uniform I use at General Store Mitsuha and gave off an aura of <I’m busy behind the scenes today, so don’t talk to me! Don’t talk to me!>.

Many of the guests knew that I had organized Adelaide-chan’s debutante ball, and none of them knew about my friendship with Beatrice-chan. I’m sure they can guess that I’m in charge of this party. I’m sure they’ll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it…… Especially after seeing the skit and the food stalls.

So, there is no brave person who would call out to me as I am always walking from place to place without stopping slowly in one place to eat or drink.

I’ve heard that people know enough about me to know what will happen if they pissed me off.

Besides, Beatrice-chan is the star of today’s show and she knows that her reputation will be ruined if she follows me around.

Moreover, it’s an important party today and they haven’t invited too many crazy people.

……Even if they are in a position where they should normally be invited.

Yeah, I mean, what’s the point of having power if you can’t use it to protect your daughter?

Today, I won’t be running around directly to make a difference. At most, I’ll give the start signal or deal with any irregularities or incidents in the parts I’ve prepared.

So far, all is well.

The food at the stall was also well received…… The food was so well received that there was a queue building up, but it wasn’t like they were out of food, so it wasn’t a problem. There’s nothing wrong with Adelaide-chan’s house, Viscount Reiner, who is an emerging aristocrat, and Count Bozes isn’t being taken lightly.

When it comes to the Bozes family, the one who speaks ill of them is the one who gets destroyed……

That’s scary!

……Right, I’d better get started.

Of the promises I made to Beatrice-chan, the <Food stalls> were cleared.

Next up, that thing.

I pulled a very small walkie-talkie out of my pocket and…….

Clicked the send button…

[Illuminations squadron, start!]
