Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

128 . Princess of the Cavern 1

I want to open an account (Mitsuha)

Ah, Yes, Then, please follow me (Receptionist lady)

I was guided to a private room by the receptionist lady at the bank .

Unlike modern Japan, there arent enough customers to form a line on the counter, and writing a name and address on a piece of paper doesnt make it enough to create a passbook . Also, theres no way for a commoner child casually opening an account . But if you were a bank receptionist, you wouldnt think it was a childs mischief if you looked at me, so she did it very well .

By the way, carrying two shoulder bags like this is too heavy for me

When I was in the private room, I put my shoulder bags on the table . How heavy

For the time being, I want to open an account and deposit these right away (Mitsuha)

With that said, I opened the fastener on my string bag .

98 percent pure gold ingots, 15kg on each bag, making a total of 30 kg .

Given the gold exchange rate in this world, it is equivalent to around 400 million yen in Japan . But if you try to sell it in Japan, it only worth 100 million yen .

I only brought these gold ingots for the time being, I dont have the currency of this country, so Id like to ask for cash and deposit for immediate living expenses (Mitsuha)

Theres a receptionist lady who sit still frozen .

After more than 10 seconds, the receptionist lady restarted .

P-p-p-p-please wait for a moment! (Receptionist lady)

And she flew somewhere with a dash .

Yeah, well, I guess shell call her superior, maybe .

When I said to the King [dont ask anything, its for the sake of the whole country, no, the whole continent], he really lent me the gold without asking anything . Of course, with no interest . How generous

Oh, the reception lady is back, Bringing two middle-aged men . Then I returned to her original job, leaving me and two middle-aged men in a small private room . Well, both of them arent too grim looking

It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Morray, President of this Bank, and this is the vice president, Agres (President-san)

Oh, the top two here . Then, lets proceed right away

And, I explained that I am a noble from another country that will stay in this country for a while and due to various reasons, I only brought gold ingots that could be easily exchanged, rather than the currency from my own country . I also explained that I wanted to open a small shop to promote my countrys products .

Can I convert this gold to the local currency? (Mitsuha)

With pleasure! (President-san)

Well, of course theyll be happy to receive a plenty of commissions .

Then, could you introduce me to a trusted real estate agent? (Mitsuha)

Please leave it to me! (President-san)

Im sure itll leave some impact if I did this much at the biggest bank in royal capital .

Of course, 400 million yen or so amount of money would not be a big deal for the head of a large bank . But what if there was [a child of a foreign aristocracy that casually held that amount of money as Immediate Allowance]?

The parents gave such gold ingots as a childs allowance without any escort . In other words, that amount of gold is [even if its stolen, it wont matter much] .

How much wealth do they have? And for the daughter to have a title means that the parent is a high noble, has multiple titles, and they are doting on their daughter too much that they gave her one of their titles .

Surely, thats what the heads of the bank were thinking .

In other words, the gold ingots worth 400 million yen indicates that there are hundreds of thousands of times more of it . And, in President-san point of view, Im not [a little girl with 400 million yen] but [a daughter of an aristocrat with hundreds of billions of properties] .

However, I havent said something like that . I just talked about my own title .

Well, If I were to lose my parent and take over their title, I dont think Ill have the time to travel leisurely to other country for a long period of time . so, its reasonable to think so .

But Im only talked about the truth, so its not my fault if they think too far and misunderstand something .

The next day, I went to the bank once more .

Of course, this time is to get myself introduced with a real estate agent .

Lets quickly secure a store with a residential area as my base of operation so that I can easily transfer whenever I want .

This time, Im not planning to purchase, but to lease . My headquarters in this world is the [general store Mitsuha] and the territory of Viscount Yamano . I wont purchase a base here so that I can throw it away when the time comes . In addition, without backing, I have a foreboding feeling of the paperwork and identity assurance .

On the other hand, if youre just leasing, you wont be asked much detail if you pay in advance . Maybe the bank would implicitly be my backing . Well, itll work somehow or another .

As soon as arrived at the bank, President-san came flying . Maybe theyve been waiting since the opening hour .

The real estate agents (Mitsuha)

Of course, we have prepared everything . Well be with you from now on (President-san)

Umu, somehow, I recalled Lutz who had introduced me to the property of [general store Mitsuha] last time .

Its a pleasure to meet you . Im the real estate agent . Please call me Zaunal . Im had listened the story from the president, so we have prepared several properties of your preference (Realtor-san)

Un, As expected of big bank, they can prepare a real estate agent this quick . The condition I had told president-san yesterday is [to lease a small shop with living quarter] .

Im not going to do much with the shop this time . Or rather, I can only do so much because Im just leasing it . Well I wont stay here that much though . I can always return home to use bath and toilet .

After screening the documents and confirming the location, I decided to lease a small two-story building .

The first floor is a store and office, a small warehouse, and a toilet that I rather hesitant to use . The second floor is a residential area where I will not even use . Yeah, it is so that I can make an alibi that Im [living here] and use it as a transfer point so that I can always transfer with confidence . Still, I rented a decent building because I couldnt make it appeared poor because of the [Rich] appeal .

One of the main reasons for choosing this building is that is the center of the nobility district and next to the guard post .

Yeah, no matter how expensive the merchandises are, the store wouldnt have a robber breaking in if its next to the guard post . Even If I tend to be away, I can rest reassured because of the free guard .

Maybe president-san and Zaunal-san the real estate agent were considering this as the first choice . Certainly, Im grateful for their consideration .

There is no need for interior work this time . It was originally a store, and the windows already has iron grills installed for security .

Unlike [general shop Mitsuha], this shop is built to be stands out in purpose . Therefore, I have to show off my technical capability to the extent that they dont have any distrust . Yes, its to lure those who smelled the scent of money making .

The goods would be something that looks expensive and terrific, but not something new . Maybe, something like unusual thing from foreign countries . However, I still need to be very careful to avoid giving any hints .

The purpose of this store is not to make money .

Its just a tool, a steppingstone to sell my name and build connections .

And then, I will be able to penetrate the upper classes, gather information and, at best, exercise my influence .

In addition, I will purchase sample of tools and machinery and use them as a source of technical improvement in our kingdom .

if its the items from Earth then its too obscure it cant be any reference . And its expensive because of the exchange rate .

Ah, this countrys gold coins were less pure than ours .

The size is just a little bigger than ours, but the weight isnt that much different . In other words, it has low gold composition, which is slightly lower than the value of the gold ingots .

I didnt know much by just looking at it, but I checked it properly just to make sure .

However, the monetary value of one gold coin here is slightly more than 100K yen in Japan . Its a little more valuable than gold coins of our kingdom . Is the value of the gold itself is high here, or is it because [The credibility of a country that guarantees the value of the currency]?

On the other side, the credibility of our country is low, so the gold is only worth as a gold .

Well, it seems better to collect them in the form of ingots or other commodities instead of gold coins in this country . Only after that, I can sell them in our country . The money earned in this country should be spent in this country . So that I dont leak the currency of our kingdom to enemy country . The 30 kilograms of gold as the initial investment will eventually be recovered and then I can return it to the King .

Alright, [Yamano trading company] is ready!
