Chapter 11 Base Secured
The inn was the template .
A cheerful wife and a taciturn owner husband whos the cook . A cute daughter who is 7 years old . The food was delicious . However, the daughter didnt have cat ears . Too bad .
Oh, I remember Colette-chan . Its unnatural to go meet her right now . Alright, lets be healed by this girl .
Eh, you are busy helping, is that so?
I teleport with my luggage from my inn room . After changing luggage at home, I teleported again and returned to the inn . The dress, shoes, and other things that were unnecessary for now were returned to my house, and a change of underwear and daily necessities were carried back . There is always a possibility of theft even if its a trustworthy inn . There is nothing to worry about if only something on the level of underwear and daily necessities get stolen .
I walked around the city after changing into plain clothes . It is elementary in the art of warfare to obtain geographical advantage . Only a small handgun in the shoulder holster and a knife attached to my inner thigh for self-defense, well it will be fine if its a main street in the capital at daytime . I need be careful after moving around a lot though .
Yup, as expected of the capital . There are such splendid buildings even in a developing world . The food stalls skewer is quite delicious . I wont mind what the meat is . Keep away from dark alleys and slums . Ill deal with such clichs in time .
After walking around for a while, the sun was setting so I returned to the inn .
At dinner, well, as far as the cultural level is concerned this is good Maybe because spices are expensive, the taste is tame . Its not bad, but somethings lacking . Oh, I think Ill bring some seasoning from home .
I ate in one my houses room . And take a shower for the first time after a long while . Im revived
Next morning, I head out to the town immediately after eating and went to a realtor . No, I woke up late and barely made it before breakfast ended, so I think the realtor is open now .
After asking passing people several times, I finally arrived . Its probably okay because its the shop recommended by earl-sama . I gently enter the shop . No, it was better to enter confidently, but out of habit .
Please come in(Irasshaimase)
It might have been some other phrase, but for some reason the young clerk greeted me with words recognized as that .
Thank you for coming over . What kind of service would you like to receive today?
Oh, even if the other party is a child they normally treat them as customers . Their training is pretty thorough .
While being impressed, she gently presents the letter of introduction .
Em, I want a store with living space This is my letter of introduction
The clerk confirmed the signature on the backside without opening it when receiving the letter of introduction . Then, rushes to the back panicking after asking for Mitsuha to wait a little .
Ahh, as expected of earl-sama, its working its working .
An elderly man jumps out in an panic .
Sorry to keep you waiting, my name is Lutz Sol Tan, the owner of this store . Thank you for choosing our store at this time
Thank you . Actually, I wanted a shop
Yes, it was written in detail on the letter of introduction from the earl . We have some recommended properties . I will explain them to you, so please come to the back
Lutz-san guided me to the back of the store . Perhaps ordinary customers get served at the storefront tables . Its VIP treatment . I wonder if delicious sweets will be served .
The sweets are so-so . No, I think its good for this world . However, not when compared to Japans . Im sorry .
Well, maybe because Lutz-san thinks Im used to eating delicious sweets, he doesnt seem so disappointed when he sees my face that shows its not so delicious . No, for Lutz-san, right now is not time for that .
so, these are the places I would recommend around here
Mhm, I got some explanations, but first I pass on having it in the nobles district .
No, it would be nice to have the security and the clientele, but first, expensive . And I dont want only nobles clientele . It would be difficult for a commoner to go to the nobles district after all .
No, its not that I dont like nobles . There are some good nobles and some bad . There are some good commoners and some bad too . And even with slaves . However, if theres only nobles then itll likely be somewhat tiring and wouldnt seem interesting, right . As I thought, theres sometimes should be stupid and vulgar guests .
So pass on the nobles district . As expected there are no properties close to the slums in here, there are only ones close to the center of the commoners district or close to the nobles district .
M~hm, of course noble customers are indispensable for earning big . That delicious food shop was close around here . No, the surveying around yesterday wasnt for fun, it for this reason, its true!
Em, this, this and this, can I see these places?
Of course, madam . Should we take a look now?
Yes, thank you
I go on a local tour while being guided by Lutz-san . Screwing the leftover sweets into my pocket .
Huh, the girl who served me is looking at me with sad eyes .
E, ehh! Does that mean the rest of the sweets was her share?
Well, its certainly a disgrace for a shop to reuse sweets they served once before, and it is not strange to give them to female employees and their children as adult consideration . Ah~, I done it now
Sorry . Next time Ill bring Japanese sweets . Definitely .
The trip to the first site .
Umm, the place is nice . In front of the main street and with many passers bys . But its a little small .
The trip to the second site .
Umm, Lutz-san, do you think of me as a Millionaire? What would I do with this huge property? It is that, make an orphanage here and make the orphans into clerks . Am I a saint-sama, a philanthropist, is that so? Pass Pass! Lets go to the next!
(tn note: Yuna from Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, started the same way as Mitsuha, by meeting a loli and killing wolves)
The trip to the third site .
Umm, it is the second street across the main street . Moderately few passers bys, moderately deserted shopping street . Originally a brick 3-story building doubling as an inn and dining hall .
For a inn with a dining hall, it is nice that it has a well and a backyard . The dining hall part can be widely used as the shop, and a bath can be installed in the kitchen . Umumumum, I think its good .

The first choice is too small, the next one is too big, and the last one is just right . I understand, Lutz-san! This is a very basic sales technique .
This one please!
I bought something that cost hundreds of gold coins as easily as buying candy .
Oh, speaking of which, I forgot to ask the about the price .
Welcome back, ojou-sama
O, Oh
Lutz-san stiffens greatly behind me .
No, Im was going to talk about the payment so I went to the earls house with Lutz-san . Then, I was greeted by the servants totally like a countess . Lutz-san definitely mistook me for a countess . Hes sweating bullets .
And he was passed straight to the parlor .
I am called the butler Rufus, Lady, this one is
Mr . Rufus addressed Lutz-san, then later turns to me and ask . Yes, letting it pass that its also my first meeting with you .
Ah, Lutz-san of the real estate agent who is selling my shop . I came here to consult about the payment
Is that what happened? My lady Mitsuha-sama is indebted to you Lutz-sama
N, no, no, Dont need to be so extravagant!
From what I heard, a butler of a powerful noble has enough influence to blow away random shopkeepers with their nose . I heard that from Stefan-san, the butler of the manors house . During the private schedule time Stefan-san won .
Well, I also heard about the butler of the capitals mansion, Mr . Rufus . Hes still inexperienced, but somewhat capable . And also to never say that was said . Maybe somewhat capable is a big compliment in the industry .
Oh my, ojou-sama, a little bit of your hair is disturbed . This, Bertha, take care of ojou-sama and care for her hair!
Yes, immediately!
Eh? Ehh? But, Im consulting .
In no time at all I was taken away by the maid and was brought into the dressing room . And, my hair is sprayed and combed with a comb somewhat, and Im safely returned to the parlor after various were done .
Huh? Lutz-san, dont you have a face that looks about to die?
Oh, ojou-sama, have you come back? Mhm mhm, your hair is fixed, it is a splendid beauty . Now, it is the matter of payment . Lutz-dono, what price do you ask of?
Lutz-san whos dying for some reason desperately squeezes out the words .
I, itll be 280 sheets of gold coins!
Huh, thats cheap! This is a good deal .
Updated from novelhall[.]com
Afterwards, it was determined that the Boses house will directly pay the cost . In addition, I received 20 gold coins on the spot as money for the renovation cost . It became a shinely amount!
()
The documents will be created and delivered at a later date so we parted with Lutz-san in front of the capitals mansion . The key to the shop is already handed over, it seems anytime Im free to go there .
If it was normal I would worry about being deceived and wouldnt agree to a contract without some documentation, but at the earls house, it is easy to imagine what will happen if you break a contract exchanged in front of so many servants starting with the butler even if you are not a merchant . In other words, It means theres no need to worry .
Mhm, supporters are awesome!
Excuse Me~!
Mitsuha went through the entrance and made a voice .
There was an answer from the back, and a man with a difficult-looking face and a solid body looking passed middle age and approaching elderly came out,
Oh, what do you need?
This was a woodworking shop, as a combination of a carpenter and a fitting shop .
Mitsuha, who separated with Lutz and was thinking about what to do about the shops renovations, and with an pin an idea flashed . Thats right, a real estate agent would have connections! I just separated with him a little while ago so its a little weird, but lets have Lutz-san introduce me . I only have a few acquaintances, so Ill use whatever I can!
So, because its on the way I went back to Japan once to chose something delicious at the pastry shop, and went back to Lutz-sans shop again . I pushed the souvenir to the girl I found at the storefront . The girl was surprised but she received it anyway, then she calls Lutz-san .
Please introduce to me someone who has reliable arms, confidence and pride in their skills and technologies, but not hard headed nor resistant to challenging new things
Toward Mitsuha whos asking, Lutz-san is reluctant to introduce anyone for some reason . Lutz-san finally relented to Mitsuha who persistently buckled down and agreed to introduce her under a condition .
Em, please, I want you to not try to cut the cost of construction .
Eh? Thats normal, right? Haggling with craftsmen and technicians is the same as making fun of their the skill and technology . Good skills and technology require a fair reward
Furthermore hearing that Mitsuha will directly hand over the payment this time, Lutz can finally introduced the workman with peace of mind .
Id like to ask for this kind of thing
Kunz was aghast when he saw the paper bundle Mitsuha spread across the table .
W, what, is this
First, he was surprised by the paper . A thin, slippery, and very durable paper .
And, it is drawn with that which seems to be amazingly detailed, precise characters . What the hell is this?
And even more surprising is the novelty of what is depicted in the drawing, the beauty!
This is a table! Is this the chest? This is
Ah, that part is fine . This one, this . This shelf, this exhibition . And, I want to install security equipment on the windows and door . This, for this . I will prepare the metal parts . Also, a large storage tank that can be placed on this kind of platform . Photo of the tank this is the picture . The size is as written in this memo . And, the installation of the bathroom in the kitchen . Since Ill do the piping, please only do that part . See the site for more details, and so
Ill do it
The paper bundle, the A4 paper copies printed out from a computer were grasped, and the Kunz which had been stunned muttered .
No, but we havent talked about the price
Ill do this job, Ill do it!
Well its good if hes motivated I guess .
Instead, can you give me this sketch later?
Eh, such a thing?
Its okay, or rather this is just a sample, Ill give you some more proper documents later, Ill also give you some unrelated materials about different furniture if you want it .
That much should be fine right . Its just a design and not exceptional technology . The creation methods and the difficulties will be overcomed by their own efforts .
I will do it, I will catch up with this genius .
Uh-oh, did I flip a strange switch?
