I will finish my business in Japan today.
Touring for car dealerships, or rather, the RV specialty ones.
Because the product lineup is different depending on the shop, they may have good and bad genres and sales staff too, so after narrowing down on the internet, I went to look in several stores.
…… Yup. I’m thinking of using the RV as a trump card for traveling around the country.
Fast movement speed, overcoming rain, a lot of luggage, good living environment, can repel arrows from a bow, and even a sword won’t be able to attack the occupants with a single blow.
Moreover, even if they cannot deal a single blow, we could still flee quickly.
It’s a perfect way to travel, combining safety, time and effort.
No, of course, when staying in a town or a village, we will stay at an inn instead of camping. Otherwise, the pleasure of traveling will diminished, right?
Considering the other party who passed by the main road probably couldn’t see the driver’s face well, It is not likely to be bothered. ……Maybe.
If It’s me alone, I could just transfer right here right now. I can even go home at night or toilet every time, but traveling to and from home too often wouldn’t be fun for the journey. Also, if I’m with Colette-chan, It needs to have a proper home base, right?
Well, it’s more like a mobile base or a mother ship rather than a home base.
A wooden moving white base, or something like Zelerna, maybe?
(TL Note : Dunno if it’s correct or not, Zelerna)Even if it looks relatively large, it can still be operated with a normal driving license if the total vehicle weight is less than 5 tons and the number of passengers is 10 or less. The maximum loading capacity is less than 3 tons, which is not so important because it is a RV and won’t need to carry a large amount of cargo. Anyway, it’s all right if it’s less than 5 tons with all the things like equipment, fuel and luggage.
Two or three petite girls will feel more spacious rather than the size of an ordinary family, so it doesn’t have to be huge. First of all, if it’s too big, it will be a concern along way. In terms of width and strength.
My license was taken before the revision of the license system in 2017, thus it was a normal license, therefore there is no problem because it is automatically limited to semi-medium-sized 5 tons vehicles. If I had made it after the revision, I would be limited to take only 3.5 tons vehicles, and I still need to get a semi-medium-sized license. It was dangerous…… .
Manufacturers feel safe and convenient in the domestic market, however for some reason, they are thinking of making vehicles in the US.
That 『some reason』 is, exactly, a 『Toilet』.
There are three major types of RV’s toilets: portable type, cassette type and marine type.
The portable type means that the toilet bowl and the waste storage are portable. The disadvantage of this type is that the capacity to store is small. The advantage is that you can remove it entirely when you don’t need it.
The cassette type has a larger capacity than the portable type, but like the portable type, it has the trouble of discarding the contents, and at that time 『you could probably inadvertently see the contents』 and also the smell…… .
On the other hand, the marine type has a large capacity because the toilet bowl and the tank are firmly fixed with the RV. Discarding the contents is easy thanks to the processing equipment called 『Dump Station』 which connected with a hose and can be disposed directly, without looking at the contents.
However, there are many reasons why this form is common in the United States, and the share in Japan is few. That is, 『There are very few dump stations that are processing it in Japan.』
For this reason, the common ones in Japan is the cassette type or the portable type. The marine type are mostly import goods from the United States.
However for me it doesn’t matter at all.
When discarding, I could transfer the entire contents instantly. To the dump station.
It should be fine if the contents were directly transferred to an unpopular auto campsites that provide dump stations at some rural towns in US at night.
……I think it would be better to practice using water several times in advance. To avoid tragedy…… .
The water supply tank also, I prefer the large fixed type rather than a cassette type. If you have a toilet and shower, it surely will consume a lot of water, right?
Of course, it needs to be refilled directly with transfer. It’s hard for a 20-liter tank, and it’s also troublesome to keep the cleanliness of the hose and to go back home just to refill every once in a while.
That’s why, in my opinion, US made products are more convenient and have more options.
Japan is better at manufacturing technology for compact ones, but with regard to RVs, it is worth noting that US, which has a long history, has a slight superiority.
Oh, all of the problematic issues will be dealt with customization. So it will take time to deliver it.
Hmm? What did I customize?
Well, I customize the seat, the accelerator pedal, the brake pedal, etc. so that I can drive with my height and foot length without any problems.
If not, I can’t see the front, and the pedals won’t reach, you know. So noisy! (Urusaina!)
It doesn’t need to be armed also. If it is stolen it will be bad, and when I return to Japan for refueling, My situation will be illegal, so I want to avoid it. No.., comply with the law, me.
Besides, if I want to place some important parts in preparation for theft, it will take a long time. In that case, it is much safer and quicker to transfer Captain and the others continuously.
……Actually I was thinking about making a gun seat on the roof for a while, but as expected I need to rethink about it. Even if the enemy is large, I can escape with transfer without having to fight back.
If it really needs to counterattack in order to protect someone, at that time I could put out my weapons.
There is no magic skill like item boxes, but in a sense, the whole planet is like my item box. No, really.
That’s the reason why I went to some dealers and heard a lot of explanation from them.
Of course, I do not make a contract abruptly. By listening to the story for some extent, I have narrowed the candidates down to about three companies, and planned to proceed on another day.
However, the dealers at first thought that they were dealing with a child and went to the point where I want to give up.
Well, If I showed my license and my bank book which I also bring in case I need it, They will surely changed their attitude as though trying to make me returned to their palm, right?
Bank book? Even though it’s not necessary, I’m not that stupid to carry such things everywhere. Besides, showing it in public…… and it’s because of this physique, I am careful about purse snatchers.
Even If they show strange attitudes and thinking that I am a kid, they will be out of the game. They won’t be tempted to risk getting caught because of a child’s pocket money.
……Perhaps.
When the car matters are over, I went back home, replied some emails and cleaned the house.
And after a long time, I go to meet the Wolf Fang mercenary captain.
「I have come~」 (Mitsuha)
「You have come, huh……」 (Captain)
Usual greetings. And then, a sudden main subject.
「The money?」 (Mitsuha)
「Already transferred」 (Captain)
Good, good.
From this, we could get an expensive RV.
Otherwise, I’m finished with only a mini car.
However, the payment for RV is from the inheritance left by my parents. The income from here is transferred to Swiss Bank.
If we don’t transfer it there, we will get an eye from the tax office concerning how we make a lot of money from abroad.
The opening report from the tax office will be out before long and it will be bad to appear as if it is a deal with foreign countries, right…… .
If I buy RVs abroad, there will be various problems such as registration and taxes, and I won’t be able to register a plate number if it’s not bought in Japan, so I can’t use it there. My money from Japan’s account kept on decreasing. On the other hand, my Swiss Bank’s account kept increasing. Drastically.
「How’s the business right now?」 (Mitsuha)
「Yes, there are no problems. Our current income is from the Dragon’s shares and the spilled profits from its research results. The genuine income will probably be sent around a few years later.
Perhaps, the herbs that were brought in by young miss will be the earliest one to produce genuine profits.」 (Captain)
Yeah, well, it’s still too early I guess.
For the time being, I still have Japanese yen that can help me live for 10 years and so on.
Well, because most of my life will be on that world, water, utilities and food costs will be minimal, and the loan for the house has been paid which makes it mine now. Even if I spend a lot of money on a RV, I still could live for a few years at most.
Besides, I still have some plans like selling jewelries or some other stuffs on that world, while saying, 『I am in trouble with money, so I want to sell my mother’s memento.』 However, I can’t do that every time.
Okay, what’s left is.., registering a business considerately and prepare to have a RV in my yard.
……so troublesome, yup.
