Sylvio-niisan's Sacrificial Plan
「……a theme park in the royal capital, huh. Even after hearing the details from Al, I still do not get it」
「Same with me. That’s why I don’t know how we should deal with this situation. It is probably different from the toys and recipe Al had developed until now」
For the things I’ve invented so far, we just determined my share and left the selling to Tori’s company. We only claim the necessary share and leave the finer details to them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s a really simple and easy arrangement.
However, if multiple houses like Misfid House and Dole house were to get involved, it wouldn’t be that simple anymore.
Well, I’ll just leave it to Nord-tousan to handle it skillfully.
He should be able to handle it well, just like with the reversi and spaghetti.
「……you can just leave everything to me. Or so you think, right?」
「I haven’t thought about such things in the slightest」
Are all members of my family satori yokai or what? I feel like they can always see through my thoughts. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「The business this time might be too different in scale compared to the items Al invented before. It will be hard if you do it as vaguely as usual you know」
「I, I see」
Nord-tousan muttered with a frown on his face.
This might be a worse situation than I thought.
「If the theme park were to be implemented, then we might need to go to the royal capital frequently. Of course, that also includes Al」
「And if things go wrong, Al will also need to work on establishing the theme park while attending the Magic Academy.....or something along those lines will happen, you know? Well, I think that’s an option too」
「No, that will be a problem!」
I have decided that this second life of mine will be spent living a slow life, leisurely in the countryside.
It’s going to be a black life to get involved with a large business project while attending the academy in the royal capital, isn’t it? Either one of them would be suffering, but I definitely don’t want to have such a black life.
「So, we will have to think about what to do from now on, alright?」
Elna-kaasan said while smiling brightly at me as my face turned pale.
I wonder if I had sown unnecessary seeds and not I have to come up with the solutions?
Schugel was eager for me to make me skip grades and attend the Magic Academy.
If I were to proceed without taking any countermeasures, then the future might end up as Elna-kaasan’s fears.
Think. A method where I don’t have to end up attending the Magic Academy…. I keep using my brain at full throttle while thinking that I’ve been desperately thinking all day.
「It’s fine. I will write a detailed business plan so it won’t turn out like that」
「It has a pretty big scale, is it possible?」
「Don’t worry. I have a specific plan for creating the theme park. I will work out the details with Schugel-sama as much as I can while we are staying here」
If I have the business plan prepared, then there is no need for me to stay in the royal capital all the
time. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……can’t you use that decisiveness and careful preparation a little more in your daily life?」
That was an impossible request, so I ignored Elna-kaasan’s mutter.
「But, the situation may change when you are in the actual spot. Once the plan begins then Al will be called to help, you know」
「It’s fine. At that time, Sylvio-niisan is attending the academy in the royal capital so I will let niisan take care of the minute adjustment. If he does that, Sylvio-niisan will be able to make a lot of connections in the royal capital and gain great achievement and prestige when he becomes the lord. I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all, you know? Of course, I also plan on showing myself in the royal capital to help a little」
The two of them frowned when they heard the first part, but their expression softened after hearing the latter part.
It’s unknown whether we will go to the capital once, twice, or thrice a year, but it would be much better than attending the academy.
「Even though you just don’t want to go to the royal capital, you’re really clever to think of that」
Elna-kaasan had a look of mixed astonishment and admiration on her face.
「What do you think, Nord-tousan?」
「…………」
Nord-tousan didn’t answer right away when I asked him.
He seems to be thinking of various things judging from his serious expression.
Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan rose to be nobles from commoners so there’s part of the nobles’ circle that tends to harshly treat them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
They managed to make them yield by using their overwhelming achievement as Dragon Slayer and their ability as A-rank adventurers, but I don’t have the epic tales or skills the two of them have.
So whether or not you have the achievements or not will affect your future actions and influences.
I’m sure they would want to give Sylvio-niisan prestige so he will be able to live easier as a noble.
「……I do not know if Sylvio himself will take over the job, but it might not be a bad thing for him」
「Right?」
「But, in the end, it all comes down to whether Sylvio wants to do it or not. Just as Al chose not to attend the academy, I will also respect Sylvio’s decision」
「Right」
I nodded in agreement, but I had to have Sylvio-niisan take on the business no matter what.
「You must not force him to do it, you know?」
「Elna-kaasan, do I seem like a terrible son who would threaten his older brother just to make my life comfortable?」
「It doesn't matter how it looks like, but Al’s idea is like sacrificing Sylvio」
I was left speechless when Elna-kaasan pointed that out.
For now, let’s write the detailed business plan by dinner.
●
「……that was dangerous. Things really turned out just like Nord-tousan said」
After dinner. I let out a sigh as soon as I got back to my room.
At dinner time with the Misfid family members and just as Nord-tousan expected, Schugel approached Nord-tousan about the idea of living in the royal capital to coordinate the business.
Living an outrageous black life of carrying forward the theme park business plan while attending the Magic Academy.
I was able to reject that suggestion by presenting the detailed business plan I had prepared, showing that a certain amount of work can still be carried out even when I am not in the royal capital myself.
If I were to proceed to dinner without any countermeasure, I might have been forced to attend the Magic Academy under the situation’s pressure.
I’m glad I was able to finish the business plan before dinner.
I’ve experienced working in a black company before, but I didn’t think that experience would come in handy at such an unexpected place. You really don’t know what’s going to happen in life.
The next problem is Sylvio-niisan, but I’ll just return and threa――not, I mean, I have no choice but to earnestly request his help. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Well, even though it’s a theme park, it will only start working for real once the puppet show is ready so it’s not something that needs to be dealt with right away, right」
After all, the scale is huge.
There is no need to rush that much since we can’t decide and start things right away.
I was feeling relieved and a wave of exhaustion suddenly hit me.
I went exploring the secret room with Ra-chan since morning, and then discussing the business project with Schugel and Gregor during the day. It was a very crowded day with the plan I made before dinner and presented during dinner to show them that it would still work without a problem even without me.
I am only 7 years old right now and my body needs rest.
「I feel like I’ve forgotten about something, but oh well whatever」
I’m sure it probably doesn’t even matter if I can’t remember it.
I dived into the canopied bed inside my room.
I landed with a *boff* but thanks to the cushioning of the bed, it didn’t hurt at all.
As I lie down and turn my body around and face up, I can see ornately decorated curtains.
Using Psychic and untying the string tying it, I was then covered on all four sides by the curtains.
For humans, sleeping time is their most defenseless time. Not only does covering the bed with curtains block unnecessary information from view, it also gives you a sense of security. You can think of it just like an arrangement to obtain sound sleep.
Although.....
「I feel totally like a princess」
I’m sure it would look nice if it were for girls like Ra-chan or Shelka, but unfortunately, I’m just an unremarkable boy.
It might not suit me, but the comfort when sleeping in the canopied bed provided by the Misfid house is the best.
As long as it’s for a good night’s sleep, the problem that it doesn’t look good on me was a minor issue. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
