Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

rsonalities.

Even if they treat me and Adelaide-chan properly, if they are arrogant to other daughters, especially to those who are lower in rank than themselves, the atmosphere will not be as congenial as that of the Society of the new continent.

On the other hand, it is also against our philosophy of ‘regardless of parent faction’ to be overtly selective when sending out recruitment invitations for the initial members…

When I explained the situation to her and discussed it with her, Adelaide-chan replied, “It’s not much of a problem, you know?” I was very surprised.

“Why not just say from the beginning that it’s a gathering of the daughters of lower-class nobles and upper-class commoners? I am a member of a Viscount family and I’ll be presiding over this gathering, so there’s nothing strange about it.

And then, I will hide the fact that Mitsuha is involved and that Princess Sabine will be joining us when issuing the invitations.

…I may be able to sneak in some information to those who absolutely need to join…

And the initial members should be only the daughters of noble families below the rank of Viscount and the daughters of some upper-class commoners.

’

Later, when word spread and the daughters of Counts and Marquises began to apply for membership, the restriction of ‘Viscounts and below’ would be removed.
But at that point, the rule was already in place that ‘new members must be unanimously approved by a secret voting of the members’, so…” (Adelaide)

“And those who we don’t want can never join…

If it’s a Viscount family or below, there’s no problem if we choose the invitees arbitrarily, right?” (Mitsuha)

“Of course!” (Adelaide)

It’s impossible to have everyone, so it’s unavoidable to narrow down the number of people.

And then…

“Since Sabine-chan is an honorary member, a mascot, there’s no problem.
No one will complain about Sabine-chan being here.

…Ah, it would be bad if I didn’t invite the second daughter of the Count Pasteur family as soon as possible.

The child whom I made cry because I couldn’t go to the debutante ball since I didn’t know about the presence notification in the royal capital… I told her to be my friend, so I’m not going to leave her alone.
I have to take this opportunity to collect flags…” (Mitsuha)

“Collect the flags?” (Adelaide)

“Ah, no, it’s nothing!” (Mitsuha)

Right, how can such a phrase exist in this world?…

“Also, Beatrice-chan…

Once it became known that I’m heavily involved in the Sorority, it would be natural for Beatrice-chan to join, although I have no choice but to wait until the rule of ‘Viscount or lower’ is abolished… As expected, it’s unreasonable to treat her the same as Sabine-chan…

Yeah, until then, let’s have Beatrice-chan focus on her ‘Beatrice Trading Company’…

’

Adelaide-chan, is there anyone above a Count’s family that you want to add sooner?” (Mitsuha)

“No.
I know some good people, but I believe there will be no problems even after the restrictions are lifted.” (Adelaide)

“… Alright then, let’s move in that direction!” (Mitsuha)

******

It’s been less than a month since then.

Me, Adelaide-chan, and Sabine-chan secretly made a list of daughters to invite as initial members, and asked Marquis Bozes, “Are there any noble families among those who are not desirable to be approached?”.

Then the Marquis said, ‘Mitsuha is finally starting to feel like a noble!’ I was happy to hear that, I do… but, well, yeah, right…

Everything else is almost ready.

After all, it’s easy to feel comfortable with a combat-proof strategy.

Along with the deterrent effect of me as Hime Miko, and Sabine-chan, the possibility of an enemy appearing is extremely low…

On the other hand, I have to be careful not to let the daughters who can’t join become too strong or take too much of a share…

Okay, let’s stick the “attractive daughters in good condition” around me as explosive reactive armor and start the operation so that the enemy’s attack cannot reach me!
