Chapter 70

70 I Forgot… . .

In the end, 3 of them, including the replacements, were made into personnel .

Two boys and one girl .

Usually I stay in the orphanage, and when necessary I’ll call them to the shop immediately .

How do I call them, you ask?

No, they are waiting for me to give work, and also two or three children are always hanging around the shop… .

I have given you money so that you can train yourselves before coming to the capital .

You can also take care of the horse, right?

The director had a creepy smile from beginning, probably because he had a huge profit from a mysterious woodcarving doll .

… . You’re a selfless cleric, aren’t you?

You haven’t fallen into the dark side, right?

As I return to the territory, I thought to myself .

I don’t have to go to the capital for this coming socializing season, since the Earl is not going either .

The capital is in a big fuss anyway .

……So why do I need to go?

Well, there are various things for me to do there, such as reports and consultations to the King .

Miriam: 「Mitsuhsama, there will be a tournament of the game board!」

Miriam-san pointed out .

…………Oh c.r.a.p

… . . I completely forgot .

Mitsuha: 「So, how many do you think will join?」

Miriam: 「The number of game boards shipped at the moment is 30,000, the expected number of partic.i.p.ants is almost equivalent . 」

Mitsuha: 「Eh… . ?」

Suddenly… Suddenly, a salad oil set .  (呆然、サラダ油セット。)  (TN: Reference?)

Mitsuha: 「Whaaat~did you saaaayy ?!」 (Nanji~yasoryaa~a~a!!)

According to Miriam-san’s guess, the predicted number of partic.i.p.ants is about 87 %, before the invasion of the Kingdom of Vanel’s fleet .

Now after the invasion, it has risen to 98 %, or above .

Miriam: 「Because, you can talk a lot with the Princess Shrine Maiden of thunder, and you can stroke her head? And then, if the winner sells the prize of [A few hours of monopolization] to a n.o.ble or a big merchant, don’t you think it will earn them dozens or even hundreds of gold coins? Everyone who has the right to partic.i.p.ate is determined to challenge themselves even if it’s useless . 」

This is bad!

The Kingdom falls into chaos!

An emergency meeting, must be held .

Because I wanted to hear the thoughts of the ordinary people, it is a meeting where all the servants are gathered .

Mitsuha: 「……And so, regarding that situation, can someone come up with a way out?」

「「「「…………」」」」

Everyone, was dumbfounded .

Colette: 「Mitsuha, that’s reaping what you sow」

Mitsuha: 「Colette-chan, zip it, I know that! Think about the solution instead, please! 」

Everyone seems to thinking as hard as they can, but it seems that n.o.body came up with a good plan… .

Noel: 「Ano~…… . 」

Oh, Noel-chan, who was about to be sold off under the name of [live-in domestic service], did any good plan come up?

Noel: 「Ano~, I’m wondering if it is better to think that, the people who do not partic.i.p.ate gets something as well……」

Eh?……

Noel: 「Let’s say, if you have the right to partic.i.p.ate but you didn’t, you can get something good, or you can do something nice, and so on . ……」
