Chapter 54 \nIn the meantime, letâs spread the Othello.\n
Â
Â
Â
Paper-making and other things can be done even after the social season is over. Even if you come to royal capital from time to time, it is possible that it doesnât seems to be difficult even though it is far away. It doesnât mean, I visit everyone all the time.
Â
Â
Â
But according to the strategy, in order to spread the Othello, I have to meet various people here and there. Apparently, I think the amount of people in the capital has increased.
Â
Â
Â
Somehow, I hope it keeps up during this socializing season until the announcement of the tournamentâŠâŠ
Â
Â
Â
After the announcement, I can take it easy for the time being. The production, transportation and sale of Othello, will take some time and if it does spread, it will sell like a hotcake. Iâm not going to push it too far. The tournament is scheduled for the next social season.
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha: ăThatâs why, Pez-san. From now on, when you went to our territory, please carry the Othello and Shogi that we made, along with the usual seafood. Please also sell it.ă
Â
Â
Â
Pez: ăWell, yeah, thatâs fine, but ⊠well. Will it really, sellâŠ.?ă
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha: ăPlease leave it to me!- I got it. ăIn the name of Granny of the candy store!ă(TN: reference?)
Â
Â
Â
Pez: ăWell, no, who is that!ă
Â
Â
Â
Pez-san pleasantly accepted it. But, I was also given some strange condition.
Â
Â
Â
Pez: ăThatâs good, but there is a favor Iâd like to askâŠ.ă
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha:ăWhată (Nani?)
Â
Â
Â
Pez: ăWell, the same picture of the signboard that you have put to the stall in the plaza, is it okay to attach it to my carriage as well?ă
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha:ăEh? ăWell, I donât mind it thoughâŠ. Oh, if you like, Iâll introduce you to the girl who painted it.ă
Â
Â
Â
Pez: ăOh, I hope I can meet her! Thank you very muchă
Â
Â
Itâs a weird request, but whatever, I didnât mind. And as for the children of the orphanage, itâs a great opportunity to make money and connections with the merchants. I can not hold back on this guy. Probably there are no choices.
Â
Â
Â
I told him to tell director-san and let him contact me, and then I left the Petz rolling store.
Â
Â
Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Â
Â
Â
The paper that has explained the rules of Othello and Shogi has already been created. Othello was easy, but Shogi was a little troublesomeâŠ.
Â
Â
Â
I download the picture from the net, but the text is handwritten. It was good that the printer at home was multi-purpose printer and there was a copy function. If you are seen it by someone printing a suspicious foreign-language flyer at a convenience store, it will look like its a black scripture of a dubious dark religion. (TC: maybe youâre weirdly laughing like some chuuni, while printing.)
Â
Â
Â
Unlike big cities, there are many familiar faces in rural towns and bad rumors can quickly spread. No, itâs true!\n
Â
Â
Â
Actual distribution and advertisement starts after the Othello arrives in the capital. It canât be helped, you canât advertise if thereâs no product.
Â
Â
Â
Even if Pez-san departs in a few days, considering the round trip and the time of business in each town, it will take quite long before arriving at the capital. By then, I will take the initiative and advertise to the higher-ups.
Â
Â
Â
Eh.. Why donât I just [transfer] it, you say? Because, the trade between the territory and the capital that I will continue for a long time, will be pointless if I use my abilities instead a of proper trading, donât you think?
Â
Â
Â
And I donât even know when Iâll be in an accident or get sick, and maybe Iâll have to run away from this country. At that time, if I had the economic activity relying on my existence, the territory would collapse.
Â
Â
Â
If you manage somehow, Even if you donât have me, you will be able to maintain your living level somehow under the next lord. Even if taxes were reset to original.
Â
Â
Â
So, except for a few sets made in Japan for the royalty and some higher nobles, the others will be carried from the territory normally.
Â
Â
Â
A few sets of games are not good. (TN: like cheating) I wonât say anything!
Â
Â
Â
Besides, in the first place, untill today, the actual product has not yet been produced.
Â
Â
Â
I immediately asked the orphanage about the picture.
Â
Â
Â
It was a 9 year old girl who painted it. I thought about the design myself.
Â
Â
Â
No, of course I knew. The thing that the child drew.
Â
Â
Â
But let me tell you something⊠What, is this orphanage!
Â
Â
Â
A secret organization, training center or something that gathered talented children from all over the place? just what is this place? (TC: Xavierâs School for Gifted Youngsters maybe?)
Â
Â
Â
~~~~~~~~~
Â
Â
Â
On the way back to the shop, I stopped by Japan for a bit and bought several additional pieces of Othello and Shogi.
Â
Â
Â
I should have bought it all together from the beginning âŠ
Â
Â
Â
So, when I went back to the shop, Sabine-Chan was waiting in the front.
Â
Â
Â
Sabine: ăMitsuha-nesama, youâre too slow!ă
Â
Â
Â
I didnât know youâre there!⊠itâs true!âŠ.
Â
Â
 \nSabine: ăThatâs why, Iâm telling you to give me the shopâs key!ă
Â
Â
Â
No, its dangerous if you wander around inside the shop, when the crime prevention equipment is in active mode! Also teaching you how to change the mode means that, you can freely make this shop your own, it tells a considerable part about my life as well as the ability to transfer, I would only like you to become an accomplice, Thatâs all.
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha: ăNo.ă (Dame!)
Â
Â
Â
In one word of my serious face, Sabine, is sadly looking down.
Â
Â
Â
Yeah yeah, Sabine-chan, a cheerful little devil, is also cute, but Sabine is depressed ⊠well, I am Sad! No, I donât drink sake while I work, and I donât have a cat named Me-Kun! (TN: referece?)
Â
Â
Â
Sabine-chan, who wants to see the DVD as soon as she gets into the account seat and puts the shop in opening mode.
Â
Â
Â
âŠâŠ Maybe this girl does not care for me, I just lost to the DVD âŠ.
(sob).. ( .·Ž¯`(>â<)ÂŽÂŻ`·. )
Â
Â
Â
No, donât think about it. donât think about it! ăItâll becomes a human distrust ⊠âŠ.
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha: ăSabine-chan, would you like to try a fun game, instead of a DVD?ă
Â
Â
Â
Sabine: ăGame?ă (GÄmu?)
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha: ăYeah, this. The rules are simple, even the old Dragon will remember in 30 secondsă
Â
Â
Â
Sabine: ăOld dragons are smarter than humans!ă
Â
Â
Â
Oh, right, come to think of it. Was the [old dragon], useless for replacing [even a monkey knows]⊠âŠ. Was it [even a goblin knows] here?
Â
Â
Â
Mitsuha: ăWell, if you win, you can ask me for something. However, anything related to the shop are exception. ă
Â
Â
Â
Sabine: ă Youâre on!.ă
Â
Â
Â
Fu fu, choroi! (ă”ă”ăăă§ăăïŒ)
Â
Â
Â
~~~~~~~~
Â
Â
Â
âŠâŠâŠ.I lost.
Â
Â
Â
Dry cloth friction, no, I lost by the absence of perfection.
Â
Â
Â
No, Iâve done it many times, with my friends.
Â
 \n\nÂ
Â
Â
âŠI wonder if this girl and the King are willing to make a bet. Something, really outrageous.
Â
Â
Â
While measuring the length of her feet, Sabine-chan glanced up and smiled.
Â
Â
Â
A very nasty smile.
Â
Â
Â
Oh,my God!
Â
Â
Â
Letâs wish the King a good fightâŠ.
Â
Â
Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Â
Â
Â
The next morning, I went to a bicycle shop.
Â
Â
Â
No, because it is said that [if you can give it quickly, you can give it quickly]. Troubles are less to the one cleaning up earlier.
Â
Â
Â
Bikeâs safety first. A cheap item is easy to break, so choose a solid one made in Japan.
Â
Â
Â
Iâd like to make it a relaxing ride like sipping a tea, but Sabine-chan is probably going to use it hard, so a mountain bike, maybeâŠ.
Â
Â
Â
Road bikes, can also produced such a speed, but.. The road surface is also not good. Road bike demonstrates its true value at high speed, on a paved road. âŠBut, Itâs unsuitable for enduring a childâs violence.
Â
Â
Â
A Cross-bike?
Â
Â
Â
What am I thinking, giving Sabine-chan such a versatile machine!
Â
Â
Â
What will I do if Sabine-chan, who used the cross bike, [I came~] and appears next day after returning to the territory! It would be too scary! !
Â
Â
Â
Regardless of the instantaneous maximum speed, you cannot catch up even with a horse, considering the sustained speed. Itâs all over, if the guard doesnât notice for a few hours that sheâs gone!
Â
Â
Â
Thatâs why a heavy-duty mountain bike.
Â
Â
Â
No, this can still go in the territory. Because itâs just a little slower than cross bike. But, well, to the degree of comfortâŠ..
Â
Â
Â
I got a various consultation at a specialty shop, I showed the measured data, told me the growth of a girl, and gave me a few candidates. From among those, I choose something that Sabine-chan would like, then purchased sidebags and helmets, protectors and other items for safety.
Â
Â
Â
She donât need an auxiliary wheel. The auxiliary wheel does not suit the mountain bike, and Sabine is probably riding it on the first day
Â
Â
Â
.âŠIâm sorry. Especially to the escort guard-ojisan, I am really sorry.
