Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement-Chapter 256: Birthday 6

Chapter 256

256 Birthday 6

Sometime after the signal, there was a commotion outside the mansion.

Yeah, they’re here……. Alright!

I got on stage, grabbed the mic, and then…….

«Ladies and gentlemen, the <Goddess Blessing Float> is now passing in front of the residence. Please take a look!»

All right, all right, everyone started moving towards the gate.

I should go too.

……Not really, I trust everyone’s work after all.

Kitakitakita~a! (TN: It’s here x3!)

A light armored vehicle leads the way, followed by two trucks with their canopies removed.

All the cars were decorated with electric lights, not just sparkling, but glittering and shining.

It’s more than just a decorated truck.

A torrent of seven-colored lights dancing wildly and a mirror ball reflecting the light diffusely.

Flashy music played over the speakers.

Because of that, the trucks are equipped with additional batteries because their own batteries are not enough.

Leaning their upper bodies out of the upper hatch of the light armored car, Colette-chan, Noelle-chan, and Ria-chan are members of the Yamano family’s maid girl army…… They all wear angel wings and halo rings and are fully equipped with illuminated toys and magical girls’ <shining wands> I bought from the night stalls.

The next two trucks were decorated with their tops removed and an army of young female mercenaries dressed as goddesses and angels, hired from the mercenary guild at my request.

The slow-moving light armored vehicle and trucks were surrounded by an army of costumed young male mercenaries who were walking beside them.

I also hired people who were struggling to make ends meet. And when their work was done, I offered them free food and drink. That is if they are willing to eat the leftovers of the nobles.

Well, when I said leftovers, I don’t really mean the “leftovers”, you know.

Since the food was left on the buffet instead of being taken away, it was left in the same condition as it was.

In other words, you get to eat the same food that the nobles eat at parties. Besides, you don’t get such an opportunity more than once in a lifetime. Moreover, a new version of that Yamano dish, the stall dish, was included.

……So, will you take a bite?……

From the back of the truck, light beams shot out from the toys held in the hands of the women and struck the bodies of the spectators, drawing a star and heart shapes of light on them.

There was an idea of scattering small bags of sweets, but we decided against it.

Yeah, we’re on the road outside the mansion, so there are a lot of commoners in the spectators. I had a feeling that if we scattered those things in such a place, it would be one hell of a bloody fight for them.

If those people get under the truck or something, they will die.

As it became brighter outside, the loud noises roared, and music started to play, more and more people started to gather.

Earlier, I went around to the neighboring mansions and handed out souvenirs and notice, saying, <We’re going to make a little noise at the debutante ball>…… Most of the neighboring mansions are aristocratic families, and many of them have been invited to the party, so there is no problem in terms of complaints from the neighbors.

Umu, it became highly, no no, it’s extremely popular, Illumination parade.

Children are swarming and clinging to the costumed army. And the young mercenaries in their costumes played with them, holding them in their arms and swinging them around…….

With this, the second part of my promise to Beatrice-chan, the <Electric Illumination Parade>, was cleared!

All that was left was that last thing.

……All right, drivers from Wolf Fang, you’re just going to circle around the route…… The mansion that you learned by walking several times beforehand, so you’ve followed the plan perfectly…… Which even the goblins can easily learn. And now, you just have to return safely to the nearby Baronial warehouse where you started.

It’s a small Baronial mansion, but they bring the local products from their territory here, accumulate them, and distribute them to the stores in the capital, so they have a large warehouse attached to the mansion.

A normal nobleman would never do such a shameful thing as to have such a thing attached to the royal capital residence, but the baron was more concerned with practicality than appearance, and selling the products of his domain in the royal capital at a high price for the sake of his people. That’s why I emphasized it. Don’t be afraid to be ridiculed.

……Yeah, that’s what it means to be <a good lord>.

Earlier, I went there to ask for help along with a gift. I asked them if I could use the warehouse for a little while.

And I got an OK! In one shot.

This is because [Hime Miko of Thunder] herself, has personally bowed down to them and asked them to do something essential for the debutante ball of the Count of Bozes’ daughter. And for them, it’s not much of a hassle, it’s just moving the contents of the warehouse temporarily.

For the Baron himself, who are not in a position to interact with the Bozes family on equal terms due to factionalism and family status issues, and who were not invited to this party, there is no way they can miss this unique opportunity to make contact with the Bozes family.

So he was happy to accept my gift and invitation to the party, but he refused to accept the gold coins I offered as a token of gratitude. And so, we rented the warehouse without incident.

……Well, rather than a few gold coins, the fact that he <graciously cooperated without charge> will be a thousand times more useful in the future.

Yeah, he’s a reliable head of the family.

The trucks we used this time were not one of the large trucks used by private companies for transportation. It was a small military truck, so it could somehow pass through the entrance of the warehouse that was built for large wagons. So we brought the decorated vehicles to the warehouse we had rented the day before and spent the afternoon practicing on the cosplayers.

I had the Wolf Fang drivers walk the parade route yesterday to learn it.

And from the moment the Electric Illumination Parade and the vehicles entered the warehouse, I used it as a signal and checked the time.

[Now, ladies and gentlemen, please return to the courtyard so that you can resume your conversations……] Mitsuha

Yes, the audience will be able to enjoy the show while eating and drinking in the courtyard.

The crowd outside that had gathered began to disperse as well.

……But it’s a step to get a good spot, not to go home.

Yes, I had sent out a warning throughout the city beforehand in case there was a big commotion and the whole capital fell into a panic. The guild branches, the high ticket booths in front of the royal palace, hiring fledgling mercenaries to go around, and various other methods.

Okay, I guess it’s about time.

I clicked on the ultra-small transceiver…

[Unlimited fireworks, this is the Viscount. Five minutes to activation!] Mitsuha

{Understood! We’re ready to go! It’s not as good as the big ones, but I’ve prepared enough material to show the people of this world what our company, Nakabayashi Fireworks, or even Japanese fireworks are all about. Let’s show them the brilliance of life of our pyrotechnists!} Zenjiro

Ah, the idiot craftsmen are common even in different worlds after all……

The guests came back normally in the courtyard, with glasses of drinks in hand while talking excitedly about the Electric Illumination Parade they just witnessed.

I checked the time on my watch.

Yeah, it’s about time that the mercenaries we hired for the Electric Illumination Parade finished hurriedly changing into their civilian clothes and moving to a place where they can watch.

……It’ll be bad if I don’t let those guys see it, especially to Colette-chan, Noelle-chan, and Ria-chan.

As you can imagine, we can’t bring all the commoner maid girls to the party, so we’re planning to have them watch with the mercenary girls and eat their fill at the <Leftovers Party> after the party.

……Alright, five minutes passed!

I grabbed my walkie-talkie and then…….

[Unlimited Fire Works, this is the Viscount. Begin the show…… Start shooting, Feuer!] Mitsuha

{Copy that. Enjoy the show, Young Miss!} Zenjiro

Okay, things are out of my hands now.

Now it’s up to the professionals to do the rest.

……<Feuer> is a funny-sounding German word, isn’t it? Wait, was it <Foiā> or <Foieru>? (TN:『ファイエル』『フォイアー』『フォイエル』)

Fuhaha, who said it was German!

That’s Galactic Empire-lingo!

……So, it’s fine, it’s fine~!
