Chapter 134
134 . Persuasion
“That’s why I’m telling you, I also have my own circumstances and privacy, and there’s also other work!” (Mitsuha)
“For example?” (Sabine-chan)
“D-Dating…?” (Mitsuha)
“ “You’re lying!” “ (Both Lolis)
How rude of you!
Anyway, I’m in unfavorable situation .
It’s troubling…
Colette-chan is going to be Komattchan . (Note: [Komatta] = Bother/Inconvenience)
What should I do…?
Can’t be helped, let’s tell them the truth…… Only a part .
“Okay, I’ll show you what I’m doing!”
With that said, hold their hands and transfer .
“H-Here is…” (Sabine-chan)
There are the flustered Sabine-chan and the silent Colette-chan, unable to grasp the situation .
The three of us appeared in little-more-than-meter-square narrow space with no windows . There’s a light slit at the top, so it’s not dark, but there’s no lighting . There is only one door .
Right, this is a part of the gallery café [Gold Coin] . It’s a small box retrofitted to the wall behind the store .
I made it for transfer purpose .
In the building, the first floor is for the shop and the second floor is for Rudina’s living space .
Rudina only uses one room and the others are empty . We store foodstuffs, equipment we don’t usually use, and spare dishes in one of those empty room in place of the storeroom .
But if I suddenly appeared on the second floor and went downstairs, it would be overtly suspicious . So, I made this external space for transfer .
Even if others see me coming in and out of here, they wouldn’t know that this is just a small empty space, they can only think that this is the back door to the store . And the odds for that to be seen by Rudina or Silua are very low .
Yeah, a perfect camouflage .
“Well, follow me!” (Mitsuha)
I opened the door, pull both of them out by hands . Then I turned around and moved to the front of the store .
The transfer space is not locked from the outside . If I did that, I won’t be able to come out the next time I transfer . It’s empty anyway, so I don’t have worry about anything being stolen . But I have a hook latch installed inside . Well, just for my piece of mind .
“Tadaah! This is the gallery café [Gold Coin], the fourth base of the Yamano Viscount Family, following the general store Mitsuha, territory residence, and my home in Japan!” (Mitsuha)
“ “Eeeeeeeehh!!” “ (Both Lolis)

At the front of the store, I introduced the store to the two . And then took them inside .
“Oh, Owner, do you need anything?” (Silua)
Inside the store, there is Silua who is in the middle of arranging the dishes on shelves . Rudina seems to have gone to the food store for a final check .
“No, I’m just going to show my friends around, so don’t worry, just keep preparing” (Mitsuha)
With that said, I start guiding Sabine and Colette around the shop .
After showing the store-related rooms on the first floor, we went to the second floor . However, I’m not showing the inside of Rudina’s room . As expected, no matter if I am the owner, I can’t afford to enter someone’s room without permission .
“Hm… . ” (Sabine-chan)
Because it was a small shop, the guide was over shortly . And Sabine and Collette have subtle expressions .
Yeah, first of all, from the conversation between me and Silua, they know that this is not my country . Because we were speaking in unknown words for them . And there’s a lot of shop-related things here, like cookware and tableware, but there’s nothing like TV or DVD or anything else they might be interested in . There aren’t many [fun things] like the home in Japan . So, apparently, they didn’t like it .
“Then, we’ll go to the next one” (Mitsuha)
“ “Eh?” “ (Both Lolis)
Then we leave the store and went to the transfer room at the back of the store . Lock properly from the inside and transfer!
“This is Yamano Family’s fifth base, [Yamano Product Store]!” (Mitsuha)

“ “Eh……” “ (Both Lolis)
This time, it’s [Yamano Product Store], my base in the capital city of Vanel Kingdom on the new continent .
And the place we arrived at was an empty room on the second floor of the shop . Tentatively, this is the room where I live .
“There’s nothing…” (Sabine-chan)
Sabine says disappointedly, but this room is just a place for transfer . It’s the same as the retrofitted transfer box at the gallery café [Gold Coin] .
We went down to the first floor, but it still in pre-opening state so there are only samples of items that usually sold in our home country and some [High quality Japanese products that are not strange even if it’s exist in this world] . Jewelry and accessories aren’t stored here except during business hours to prevent theft .
“…boring…” (Colette)
Collete didn’t like the two new bases of the Yamano Viscount Family .
Well, this store has very few Earth’s items . And [Gold Coin] is just a food store .
And they can neither understand the language of this country nor the language of the country where [Gold Coin] is in . That means they can’t go anywhere and do anything without an interpreter . It would be much more fun for them to be in the general store Mitsuha or the home in Japan rather than in these two places .
“Sabine and Collette can’t play with me every time, right? Sabine-chan is studying manners as a princess, while Colette is studying various things from Miriam, Rachel, and Anton . Just like that, I have a lot of work that I have to do alone . Most of them are boring things and things that you don’t want to do . ” (Mitsuha)
“ “……” “ (Both Lolis)
Alright, they seemed to understand . Now I can leave them for a while!
The people in the new continents don’t have social parties every day, and I don’t sleep in the shop either, the store isn’t for making money anyway, so I have to open it occasionally when I have thing to do there .

The top priority right now is to open the gallery café [Gold Coin]!
The gallery cafe [Gold Coin] has finally opened .
We don’t do big promotions, events, bargains, etc . in particular . There’s nothing satisfactory with trying to attract customers temporarily . It would be enough to start with a plain and normal shop then slowly become a well-known shop with the city .
The shop is left to Rudina and Silua, and I don’t talk too much . The manager is Rudina, and I’m just the owner . So, I just gently watch them from behind .
Since it opened without advertising, there is no queue or crowd of customers before opening . Both of them doesn’t have to worry even if customers don’t come for a few days after opening, this store does not have to consider internal reserves and retained earnings if it can cover expenses and pay salaries to everyone .
It is troublesome if the deficit is too large, but it is fine if it is a little . There is no leverage in forward trading or forex margin trading, and there is no huge loss in a small café . At that rate, I can cover as much as I earn in the new continent . There’s no problem if the earnings from that store goes into my personal assets rather than the territory budget .
It is not good to make money in the enemy country, so I should refrain from handling a lot of gold, jewelry and other supplies, but given the state-wide budget, my personal budget would be slightly affected .
It would be fine if the original purpose of [Gold Coin], that is, to bring foreign currency to Japan by legitimate means under Yamano Mitsuha’s account, could be fulfilled .
I think that Japanese taxes and other related stuffs are about to halve my money, but I still need the living expenses for about 10 years until I can’t falsify my age anymore and have to leave Japan, then I need the funds for buying things I need to bring to the other world… wait, does it have to be brought by the regular route?
I won’t use it for my livelihood in Japan, so I don’t have to worry how my income should be brought to Japan . In the first place . It’s not my income .
Alright, this is not tax evasion!
I don’t have to be honest about how I spend my money anyway, this is not tax evasion, not by any means!
Alright, I gently looked into the store through the window from the outside, but there seems to be no particular problem .
…well, there is no problem because there are no customers yet .
