Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

(Receptionist A) 「W-wait! If everyone from the delegation isn’t staying here……」

(Audyst) 「You are?」

The middle-aged employee who desperately implored the Earl, replied quickly .

(Gorvon) 「I-I’m very sorry for the late introduction, my name is Gorvon, I’m working as the assistant general manager here……」

Arya~, he wasn’t just a front clerk, but a person of the upper position as well, huh… .

Well, because they are going to meet envoys from another kingdom, those people will also come out, indeed . But on the other hand, the general manager’s absence is……wait, maybe he will meet them inside instead .

If so, the front clerk happened to be at the front desk at that time when we came .

Well, with that mannerism and speech from him who is also from the upper position, it means that this inn was supposed to be 『that kind of inn』 that will receive diplomatic delegations from other kingdoms, but conversely, it’s already a sufficient reason to reject the inn itself as of the young front clerk’s case .

It’s a pity that the newcomer’s failure will drop the reputation of the entire inn, but I don’t need to care for that .

(Audyst) 「However, this place didn’t want our kindom’s Her Highness Princess and Viscount to lodge, true? If so, we, the delegations, also don’t want to stay here obviously . It’s only natural for us to go together with Her Highness and the others . What’s wrong with that? Do you have any reason for us to lodge separately with them?」

(Gorvon) 「N-no, there is no such thing! Please, by all means, come stay together here…」

The assistant general manager said so desperately .

(Mitsuha) 「Eh? but you refused us and drove us away, though?」

(Govon) 「T-that’s because we didn’t know that misses are royalties from another kingdom……」

(Mitsuha) 「But you didn’t even ask for our status and just chased us away by looking at our appearance, despite we don’t even want to lie about our status, though? Hence, we don’t want to stay in a place with such principle . How about Sabine-chan?」

(Sabine) 「Absoーーーlutely not!!」

Sabine-chan said so while making a scowl face with all her might .

Well, there’s no other answer than that, right~

(Mitsuha) 「Well then, we will return to our lodgings . Will Earl-sama be here?」

(Audyst) 「Like we would do such a thing! We will stay in the same inn so guide us」

The assistant general manager became flustered because of the Earl’s words .

(Govon) 「W, wa-wait, please wait! If you do that, our reputation will be……」

(Audist) 「What does that mean for us? You have insulted our kingdom’s princess and noblewoman and we find it uncomfortable . Hence, we will stay in another inn . It’s not a strange thing at all .

No, it’s a bit strange . 『Why didn’t we attack them at that time?』 is what I’m thinking now . 」

(Govon) 「Hiiiii!!」

And then, we walked together with the delegations .

As the distance is not too far, the Earl and Klarge-sama decided to walk with us . The escorts and several carriages followed us after .

There was an uproar for some reason in the back, but it’s unrelated to us at all .

When I looked back, a person, who seems to have come out from the inn, was questioning the assistant general manager and the others . He’s probably the general manager .

(Mitsuha) 「Excuse me, I have brought in more people here, is it okay?」

The front clerk was the 20-year-old man like the first day .

(Receptionist B) 「Yes, that’s fine . How many people would you like to add?」

Eeto, how many people, were there……

It can’t be helped, let’s leave it to the main party .

(Mitsuha) 「I’m sorry, please talk to the person himself」

(Audyst) 「Hmm? Ahh, I understand . Eeto, the number of people is……」

When the Earl tried to explain to the front clerk, the door opened and an attendant jumped in for him .

(Attendant) 「P-please stop, Earl-sama! I will do that instead!」

The attendant tried to do the chore as Earl’s replacement and glared at me with all his might .

No, well, I’m also, more or less a Viscount too, though……

Well, I guess that was my bad . If the kingdom’s officials knew that I made the Earl do a check-in procedure for the inn, I probably won’t have a standpoint with fellow companions .

……sorry .

Well, because the Earl was able to enjoy an unusual experience, there’s no problem!

The adjutant, Klarge-sama had a complex expression though .

(Receptionist B) 「Eh? Diplomatic delegations from the neighboring kingdom? Her Highness Princess? Eeeeeeeehhhh!?」

The front clerk, who was calm when he heard 『Earl-sama』, raised a surprised voice after he had also heard the attendant said, 「We are the diplomatic delegations from the neighboring kingdom, and also we’re with Her Highness Princess」 .

As it’s a high-class inn, aristocrats guests will also come here . Hence, if he heard that the customer is an Earl, he won’t be that surprised . Well, the top-notch front clerk might be a little surprised because the three of us don’t look like nobles .

However, when it comes to 『diplomatic delegations』, it’s a little different .

They are king’s agents from another kingdom and the inn that they choose will be the representative of one’s kingdom . Thus, the responsibility, pride, and honor will be huge .

And it wasn’t supposed to be something like a sudden visit without a prior reservation or any anticipation .

(Receptionist B) 「W-why is this inn… . moreover, it’s a sudden visit without any announcement……」

(Mitsuha) 「That’s because Princess Sabine wished for it . 」

Sabine-chan followed me after I spoke to the shaking front clerk youth .

(Sabine) 「It’s because your sincere attitude taught me that this inn is good . 」

Shocking! Sabine-chan could become a real princess-……no no, I didn’t know she could behave like one…… I was sure that she’s a princess who 『has a good head, but self-paced as she’s still young』……why are you glaring me like that, Sabine-chan!? Are you a psychic!?

No, but she was able to imitate a neat princess…… As expected, let’s give Sabine-chan the title of 『Crimson Goddess』 .

(TL Note: I don’t know what FUNA-sensei wanted to tell with this 『Crimson Urinalysis』 thing, and turns out in chapter 16, oniichanshinpai didn’t know either, so I used that translated chapter as a reference for 『Crimson Goddess』)

It will be irresistible to be praised and smiled by the princess of a kingdom, even if she’s only a ten-year-old girl . The young man turned red and stiffened but quickly recovered like a professional .

(Receptionist B) 「T-that, being given such unworthy praise, i-it’s an honor!」

The front clerk young man said so and rang the call bell that was on the counter . Perhaps it’s a signal for requesting support .

He rang for an amount of time with a slightly different tempo as they have probably decided the length and frequency to rang it . Yup, this looks like 『All members, action stations!』, maybe .

Soon after, the door in the back opened and a composed elderly man followed by several employees appeared . The elderly man turns out to be the general manager of this inn . I remembered his face because he came to say his greetings to the guests at that time when we were eating our meal . The bell signal should have told them that it was an emergency situation, but there’s no trace of him being flustered at all . Just what you’d expect from him .

(Receptionist B) 「They are the diplomatic delegations from neighboring kingdoms . Please prepare their room immediately . 」

The front clerk young man explained the situation with only a few words and the general manager gasped when he heard it .

They probably would have never considered this situation as they were only doing what they need to do according to the bell signal . Their eyes were widely opened for a moment, but there was no other change in their facial expression .

(Wordeiz) 「My name is Wordeiz, I’m the general manager for this inn . We welcome everyone for your today visit . 」

Umu, the general manager gave instructions immediately to the Earl and Klarge-sama after taking over the task from the front clerk .

In this situation, there’s no way to make a noble, who is from the higher class, wait for even a short time . It was a top priority to guide them to the special rooms that are always well prepared for this situation .

There are still some people from the main party who were dropping off the necessary luggage from the carriage, having dinner and doing advance arrangements for tomorrow, hence they don’t have anything to do in this place currently . In addition, they are probably enduring this situation more or less as this was a sudden change of plan .

……us?

We were originally staying here, so that’s got nothing to do with us for now . Well, it may have been a bit surprising for them as we were thought as sisters from a merchant family, but in truth, a Princess and the head of a Viscounty from the neighboring kingdom .

(Wordeiz) 「……can we interrupt you for a moment?」

The ones who remained was the three of us, the front clerk young man, and the general manager, in total, five people as the Earl’s group was being guided to their rooms while the rest went to the carriages with the inn employees .

(Wordeiz) 「Why did you choose our place……? Normally you would choose the one which is a little closer to the royal palace, like the royal capital’s No . 1 accommodation, 『Fairy’s Resting Place』……」

I raised my right hand and intercepted the general manager’s words .

(Mitsuha) 「The disparity between the front clerk and the inn’s foundational principles . Isn’t that already enough?」

Then, we left the general manager who deeply thanked us and returned to our room .

Uuu~, so cool!!

(Sabine) 「……neesama, was that the 『Chuunibyou-like speech and conduct』 that you had mentioned before?」

(TL Note: Chuunibyou = 8th grader syndrome)

S-shut up! (U-urusai wa!)
