Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

The pending reward for Sabine-chans part-time job of confirming the contents of the recording. Which was a bit concerning.

The reward seems to have been decided.

And the reward decided by Sabine-chan is

Eh? The same type of carriage I have? (Mitsuha)

Im a princess. So, I too, sometimes travel in a carriage because of my role as a princess or for personal use.

And now that I know how comfortable Oneesamas carriage is, no matter how good the royal carriage is, your carriage is way better overall, even more so than a regular carriage Do you think I can put up with this countrys carriage anymore? (Sabine)

Indeed (Mitsuha)

I know what Sabine-chan means, as much as I hate saying it.

The shaking goes from my buttocks and to my organs when Im in this worlds carriage

Also, while I can endure it for 30 minutes or an hour, I have to continue to ride for several days, when I go long distances in a carriage

And aside from the royal capital, the roads on the highways are bumpy

Im not too fond of it either, so I had a customized carriage built on Earth.

Certainly, its much better than being asked for a car or some other high-tech product from Earth. Sabine-chan probably took that into consideration and chose Carriage with the intention of holding back. If its a carriage, its not a strange thing that stands out in this country

Even if it looks a little different, it is not so strange for a carriage specially made for a princess. My carriage has a slender and lovely appearance.

But there was a big problem with using that as a reward.

Thats because

Its expensive Its very expensive to make that thing. (Mitsuha)

Yes, its very expensive because it uses a lot of duralumin and titanium, and the suspension is reinforced to protect it from bows and arrows, and spears. The windows are third-generation bulletproof glass, made of multiple layers of glass and plastic materials.

A used car could cost several hundred thousand, but that carriage is more expensive

So its not good because the manufacturing cost is10 or 20 times more than the price of a car (Sabine)

Yeah (Mitsuha)

Yeah, I guess Sabine-chan probably thought it was far cheaper than a car.

For Sabine-chan, cars are a product of super science, and my horse-drawn carriage is just a slightly evolved version of the ones they have in this country, or so she thinks

No, it doesnt

But on the downside, its certainly a good choice.

Except that its expensive

A regular off-the-shelf product with a solid suspension and no bulletproof features like mine would cost a few million yen

But as a reward for working all night for several days, its out of the question

Sabine-chan didnt seem to think it was that expensive either, so shes frozen.

As expected, this is impossible

Then, what if I pay the actual cost? (Sabine)

Eh (Mitsuha)

Tha-. Indeed, thats fine with me.

A carriage would not distort the progress of civilization in this world, and no matter how expensive it is, if its a princesss carriage, it would be trivial in terms of the national budget. Even if it were made in this country, it would probably be a rip-off price anyway, with all the useless fancy decorations and stuff

Well, then, I guess thats possible Ill get an estimate of how much it would cost later, so if we can get the kings permission. (Mitsuha)

My first carriage cost me a lot because of all the review meetings, and the trial and error to add the new features, so a second one would cost less.

Yeah, I know! But I think its probably okay. If I explain Mitsuha-neesamas carriages defensive capabilities Also, the comfort of the ride.

Later, lets take him for a test ride in Oneesamas carriage! (Sabine)

Ah, yeah, thats fine and all, but (Mitsuha)

******

Approved!

After showing them the estimate, giving them a test drive, and explaining the performance and the equipment, the King, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Finance gave their approval all at once.

No, its fine though. They are going to pay all the actual costs, so theres no loss for me, I just have to order from the place that made my carriage

Eh?

They also want to order a carriage for the king, a carriage for the prime minister, and a few more?

You want to give a diplomat who travels a lot a carriage that doesnt hurt your butt you say?

Well, thats good and all, but

Ill get a commission fee, right?

If it doesnt have bulletproof features, fancy decorations, or anything like that, thats going to cost them less, but if theyre going to make something rugged and large, its going to be priced accordingly.

How many bulletproof features, how big, how sturdy, how light, and how well it performs in various other ways?

These things need to be discussed in detail with the king and the others, and coordinate it with the manufacturer

But, well, its better because they didnt tell me to send the camper Big Lorry

******

So, where is the actual item? (Man)

Eh? (Mitsuha)

This is the home of a former sailing ship engineer from a certain country on Earth, where Mitsuha has been asking many questions about building sailing ships.

The reason for their being acquainted was that Mitsuha happened to meet a girl12 years old, who happened to be the girls grandfather and used to be involved in the construction of sailing ships Mitsuha asked her to tell him a story.

And the old engineer, who was completely taken with the exotic-looking girl with a strong interest in sailboats and an unusual wealth of knowledge about their construction for a girl of her age, asking about making sailboats, The girl who was a friend of his granddaughter (in this country, she seemed to be about the same age as his granddaughter) he asked her questions over and over again, and she always answered them with a smile

Thats a question only someone whos actually tried to build something and it didnt work can answer! Spit it out!

Missy, you aint just asking a lot of questions out of curiosity!

Youre actually making one, arent you?.

Theres no country that is currently building sailing ships at the level of technology that you are talking about.

Even though the construction of large sailing ships is something of a pastime for rich countries, they all have a lot of engineers around my level.

And there are no shipyards that use little girls for shipbuilding and technical information gathering!

Wheres that ship youre building? Why dont you show it to this old man? Because Ill give you some proper advice

Its absolutely impossible for an amateur to make a decent ship.

Yes, where is it? Where are you secretly building it?

Is it some kind of secret shipyard underground on an isolated island in the South Sea? Huh? (Man)

Where is the undersea warship Gotengo!? (Mitsuha)

However, no matter how many actual samples were available, the construction of a large sailing ship without a professional shipbuilder was indeed impossible, and the project was at a standstill. Its not like the prototype small sailboat that was built for the purpose of learning technology. The prototype sailing ship also has a number of problems, notwithstanding its appearance.

Thats right, its about time we seek the help of an expert.

There is also the issue of the canvas.

The canvas for the small prototype sailing vessel was purchased in the new continent via the Rephilia trade.

However, its too suspicious for a small start-up trading company with no connection to the shipbuilding industry to purchase canvases for a large sailing ship. They would be suspected of reselling the fabric to other countries and would be scrutinized in a lot of ways.

And not only new ships are needed, but also for Eras, which has lost all its sails, and for replacement sails of the other captured ships.

Besides, I was going to use the sails of the first domestically produced large sailing ship from the earth.

Sailboats are all about the sails after all.

Therefore, we want to compensate for the inferiority of the ships manufacturing technology with the performance of the sails.

But Mitsuha had no connections to such industries.

So Mitsuha thought, this former sailing ship engineer might have contacts with those manufacturers.
