After we had decided on the policy of political matters concerning Beatrice-chan, we decided to discuss the details later and confirmed other things.
Like the rewards and so on.
Of course, it was agreed upon in advance, but the budgeted amount and the actual cost were slightly different.
[ā¦ā¦The amount paid for the fireworks is 5 million yenā¦ā¦ which is 200 gold coins. Adding 20% for miscellaneous expenses and my profit, for a total of 240 gold coins.]Ā Mitsuha
The food provided to the pyrotechnicians is not for free. Not for free! Many things cost a lot of money that you canāt see on the surface!
[What? You mean, all of those things? Thatās so cheap!]Ā Count Bozes
Then Count-sama couldnāt even blink in surprise.
ā¦ā¦Well, comparing to a Japanese financial sense, itās about 24 million yen. I guess itās a small price to pay for the biggest event in the life of his beloved daughter.
And the other fees for renting animal-themed costumes, generators, etc., are trivial compared to that. The stalls and foodstuffs were at commoner prices. In addition, the food, which is expensive in this country, was bought on Earth.
Oh, And I bought the cotton candy machine instead of renting it because it was not very expensive. If I buy one, I can easily use it for small events at the orphanage.
Even if you add in the cost of paying Wolfang, supplies, and other miscellaneous expenses, thatās not a lot of money.
ā¦ā¦Not for me, of course, but for the Count-sama, who is about to be promoted to Marquis.
Aside from any other nobleman, Iām not trying to rip off Count Bozes at all, especially regarding Beatrice-chanās debutante ball.\n
ā¦ā¦As I said, Iām not going to work for free or be prepared to lose money, because I need to save for my retirement.
At any moment, I may lose the ability to teleport.
At any moment, I could lose my title and territory.
At any moment, I may also need to flee this country.
ā¦ā¦Itās a crazy world out there!!!
Of course,Ā in addition to paying me, I think there were various expenses associated with the countryās fine food, alcohol, and other parties,Ā but Iām sure it didnāt costā¦ā¦ 1000 gold coinsā¦ā¦ or a billion yen worth.
Whether a few hundred gold coins⦠or tens of millions of yen⦠Itās nothing compared to the power that the Bozes family showed to the nobility and the inhabitants of the royal capital at this party. Moreover, the effect of making the people believe that they have . I also told them that I would prepare dinner for them, so there was no need to prepare bribes.
I went upstairs, not to the room that each of them was using, but to a room where we kept spare dishes, cooking utensils, supplies, and a computer deskā¦ā¦
Well, beforehand, while the two of them are still working. I secretly tidied up the place, moved some of the stuff out of the way to make room, and cleaned it up properly.
It was unlikely that they would come upstairs during business hours.
Iām sure they replenished the consumables after closing last night, so itās unlikely that they would come to this room during business hours.
Iām already well aware of their seriousness in that area.
