Chapter 165 (1/2)

165. The Stomach of a Giant Whale

”I will take three of each of Lortor-san' and Tiras-san' work” (Mitsuha)

I'm in the royal capital to buy the sculptures for the Gallery Café [Gold Coin].

Instead of buying their works directly, I'm decided to buy their works that has been put in a small, independent art shop. That way, their works would still have the chance to be displayed in this world, and they might sell to those who interested in them. It's better for them to sell and spread their names in this world, after all.

I just have to buy the ones that haven't sold yet, and the rest of their works that are displayed in the store as merchandise will be more advertised because [That Viscount Yamano purchased their works].

In addition, it helps the grandpa of the art shop to make some profit. As expected, it won't make a good profit if the display shelves were packed with the unsold works of newcomer artists.

A small art shop owner who gently supports newcomers whose works doesn't sell well.

How nice. Just like the [Portrait of Jennie], it's wonderful!

Everyone is happy, a win-win outcome!

A moment after I returned to the [General Store Mitsuha], Sabine-chan came.

”Onee-sama, Princess Remia has asked for support via the radio!” (Sabine-chan)

”Eeeeh!!” (Mitsuha)

The potential rebels in her country should've been wiped out. Is it invasion from another country?

In this crucial time when the countries on this continent must unite to prepare for the invasion from the New Continent?

d.a.m.n, which idiot nation is this… I'll crush them! I will crush them!!

”When I tried to hold an Oth.e.l.lo tournament, the productions couldn't catch up with the demands because of the unexpected response, and I don't know how to hold the tournament wither” (Princess Remia)

…I don't care…

And she started the production on her own accord…

In other countries, the right to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament and the punishment of the Himemiko-sama is ineffective, I guess it's natural that we lose our share outside this country. What a blunder…

Well, since it has already been taken out of our country by a merchant or someone, I guess it's just a matter of time.

However, as expected, the cards cannot be manufactured on a practical level. But it'll be difficult if they managed to go beyond that, so we have to hurry the card production…

I sold Eras to the King… or rather, to the Country. Well, at a reasonable price.

Eras might be an oversized and to-be-sc.r.a.ped garbage for the Kingdom of Vanel, but for our county, the latest state-of-the-art ship, even if it's wrecked, is a great learning material to [Build a large ship with much lower hurdles than starting from scratch].
