Chapter two: Isn’t the boy too quick to become an adult? (Digest version)
1. I want to get a ship!
Shou, got angry when Hassan older brother mocking Salim older brother, but he is angrier at himself because of how powerless he is.
「After all money is necessary right……」However, Shou didn’t have his own money, he has never used it.
「Even though I am Prince!」This, Although I will independent at the age of 15, Isn’t my situation now bad?
In order to get a ship quickly, he can ask Rashindo who her mother got married, but Shou’s little pride didn’t allow him to do it.
I intend to consult with Miya, but a prince selling a cheese, to open shaved ice shop make me so hesitant that she will object it.
「Should I sell a jar in the room? No, I will make Miya sad」
It’s still okay if father who scolded me, but I don’t want to make Miya who takes care me from when I still being a baby sad. Because of that Shou, decided to sell a cheese, save that profit to sell shaved ice, because he wants to try to get a ship.
「Because big merchants always trade in the North continent from a long time ago, there are few profits even if I enter it now. From the southeast archipelago, with my calculation I should able to go from passing Gaultier continent directly」
Looking at the map, because Shou knows the earth is round, to going to the north continent, from passing the Gaultier continent in the southwest, I think sailing directly will be faster.
「In order to prove this new sea route, I have to calculate the size of the earth. And, if you do not have a ship you can’t prove it!」
Shou, began to using court ladies and chamberlains who worked in the royal palace to taking errands from them from that day. When they handed the money, Court lady began to confuse at first if it’s okay to asking an errand from a prince, but because of Shou’s business smile, they think it was alright. Because they can’t often get out of the royal palace freely, they ask for lipstick, face powder, fragrance, etc.
However, there is no way a firm person like Miya can ignore such that matter. Before asked Shou, she began to ask the circumstances from the court lady first.
「What are you doing! There is no way the prince of King Aslan taking an errand from court lady in chamberlain! Something like collecting a tip, If only he tell me what he wants to buy……」
When Miya depressed because she can’t notice that matter earlier, suddenly King Aslan entered the room with a bad timing.
「Look, a souvenir for you!」Looking at the gift fragrance that was thrown by him, she began to cold sweat because afraid that Shou’s errand activity exposed. Aslan saw Shou in a fragrance shop in the Leyte capital.
『Little boy! Isn’t this a little earlier for you to notice a sexual appeal?』I wonder how he got accustomed, I confirmed from the shopkeeper that he came to the shop many times.
「Does he has awareness as a Prince? I wonder why he is taking an errand from servant」
Because of King Aslan has a high self-esteem, it’s painful to let misunderstand of Shou, Miya knows about this fact.
「What! Shou take an errand? Is he really my son?」
The United Kingdom of the Southeast Archipelago which controls a sea trade is a rich country. And, Miya as the first wife, is improving the assets of King Aslan as well. Knowing that the world’s richest Prince, is taking an errand, make Aslan laugh very hard.
『Come in!』Shou is called to Miya’s room, and because of looking at his father’s face who is lying on the sofa, he realized that his errand strategy has already found out.
「I am sorry! I shouldn’t collect a tip」
Miya, know Shou is different from the other prince because he didn’t have a support relative which can give him an allowance and to protect him. However, Aslan, ignore Miya’s feeling, and ask Shou directly.
「You, what did you want to buy with your income?」
「I will buy fresh cheese in the Celeb Island, I planned to sell it and make a profit 」
Aslan frowns his eyebrows because he knows Hassan’s bad influence is to follow his immediate earnings method. He lifted his chin with his hand arrogantly, and he demands to continue.
「After I collected the amount of money, I will try to open a shaved ice shop……」
When his father laughed very hard at him, Shou bites his lips.
「My son, is shopkeeper shaved ice! How stupid!」While he shouted, with his tongue trembled, Shou talks about his plan.
「After earning enough money from ice shaved shop, I will buy a ship, and want to discover a new sea route to Gaultier continent」
「New sea route?」Miya shook her head because she knows that all merchants of the Southeast Archipelago have already discovered all trading route, but Aslan still ordered to explain.
Shou, do you really understand about your idea? Because of that question he pulling out his memories of the past life, and explain it.
「This world has a spherical shape like a melon. Therefore, to went from Southeast Archipelago to the Gaultier continent, I think it will be faster if we sailing directly to the east」
Aslan has already known that the world is spherical from Parloma University in the Kazalia Kingdom on the North continent.
(TL note: a..author-sama, if they know the world is round, so why they can’t find another route… In the previous ver. you said Aslan didn’t know about that, it’s still acceptable, so why you change it too much in the digest ver.? haa…haha your digest version is too digest for we reader)
「Are you want to become my successor after finding the new sea route?」
「Father was kidding me right! I, I thought that Salim older brother could make a profit if he use new sea shipping route.」
After he realizes that Shou is seriously reluctant to become a successor, Aslan encumbers him to make him struggle.
「Anyway, stop being an errand boy! If you want money, you only have to sell the furniture from the imperial villa. It will be the best trade training if in the antique shop!」
Miya stopped him, but Aslan said 「Do not be taken by the unfair advantage! It is the furniture of the royal palace. Do not sell less than 1000 marks!」 He laughs.
「You may be a genius!」 (TL note: Aslan)
Because of his father’s good mood, Shou had a bad feeling.
TL note~
Let me explain Shou’s route teory in the map. He said:
=「Because big merchants always trade in the North continent from a long time ago, there are few profits even if I enter it now. From the southeast archipelago, with my calculation I should able to go from passing Gaultier continent directly」
Looking at the map, because Shou knows the earth is round, to going to the north continent, from passing the Gaultier continent in the southwest, I think sailing directly will be faster.=
Author-sama sees her novel world direction like a normal compass in the paper…
It’s like this
Normal route:
Shou’s route:
but if we see the distance between 2 route from the map, I think it’s still more close if we sailing in normal route… lol… yeah I know this map is not very perfect so… please just accept whatever author say~
