Chapter two: Isn’t the boy too quick to become an adult? (Digest version)
2. Finally I got a ship!
Shou tried to sell a simple jar at the bazaar for saving income, he went to the Leyte city with Sanzu. Normally, when he going to Rashindo’s residence there are also chamberlains and guards who accompanying him, But only to sell a jar, it feels weird to take many of attendant for accompanying him so he went alone.
「Hey, a duck with easy mark walking carelessly while carrying a welsh onion」
Shou is not conscious, that the figure wearing the long clothing of the royal family, was conspicuous in the bazaar.
「Shou-sama, you shouldn’t come to the bazaar without bringing the guard」
Rashindo rescues him from a hoodlum. In Leyte, large merchants are highly respected.
「Anou, I want to sell this jar, but I don’t know where the place to sell it. So please tell me」
Gyo! And, Rashindo surprised with the excellent Garcia jar taken out from Shou’s coat. In the middle of such a bazaar, it isn’t a thing for show off. So he leads Shou to an excellent Chai tea shop.
(TL: Gyo is sfx shocked. Chai tea: spiced Indian tea, yeah I know It’s already popular…)
「Shou-sama, did you brought this Garcia jar from the royal palace?」
While curiously looking at the Chai tea shop, prince sipping a delicious spicy tea little by little, Rashindo persuade him so he will not be scolded by King Aslan.
「Oh, did you call it a Garcia baked? I chose it because it is a plain vase but …… my father said that I could sell some of imperial villa’s furniture. That’s why Rashindo-san doesn’t have to worry」
Merchants in the Southeast Archipelago have a strong personality, they demand a bribe when you want to take off your eye from them, but for King Aslan who has already governed strictly his vassal to development his profit, is feared by his people. Why did he give the prince permission to sell the furniture from imperial villa? Rashindo couldn’t understand it, but Shou’s eyes aren’t likely to lying.
「I’d like to ask a question, what are you going to buy for selling that jar?」
He really wants to know about Shou’s reason to involve the trouble.
「I want to get a ship!」
Rashindo is a pride man from Southeast Archipelago! In other words he is a ship foolish! His eyes are sparkling shiny.
(TL: I didn’t understand why author-sama always says bakana=foolish, not otaku. I think otaku is more match for someone behavior)
「If it’s for a ship, it’s okay to sell one or two of Garcia baked jar! Now, let’s go!」
In an antique shop introduced by Rashindo who suddenly became eagerly, after a long negotiation Shou gained 55,000 marks.
「Have I already beat up prices up to maximum?」After exhausted, Prince Shou drinking tea that has already served, he thought that he can sell it more at a high price, but he comforting himself that it’s already good for his first negotiations.
I was ushered off in a good mood by Shopkeeper who sell the Garcia baked jar with a high price, I went to a ship shop with Rashindo and Sanzu.
「New shipbuilding is already good even though it is small」 Shou thinking about a small ship, but he was stopped because it doesn’t unreasonable to sail by himself. Because of that the negotiation was taken over by Rashindo.
「You must celebrate tonight because you already got a ship!」
While he ate a bouquet at the party with Marche, he sighed that he must find the captain from now.
Searching the captain for Shou was difficult. Normally, a trusted captain must have connections with merchants. Miya sees failures as an experienced.
『Maybe Aslan-sama, nominated Shou as his successor ……』She thought.
「Oi, Shou! I came back from a good place」
Independent Kalin older brother, has already tired because the quarrel between his wives and because of that he came to visit Imperial villa. Shou is accompanying him to enter a gorgeous restaurant for the first time.
「Older brother? Even though you returned from the voyage, are you okay to drink in this place?」
Kalin is still a young man. Because he returned from the voyage, he really wants to have sex with his wives. But, when faced with his five wives, it began to a fierce contest, Shou really pities him.
「”I think one day you will understand, that a woman is really scary!」
Drunken Kalin older brother recommended to drinking, and Shou with curiosity drunk and collapses.
「Hey! Get a hold of yourself!」He didn’t know that Shou was weak against liquor, Kalin took Shou and returned to his mansion. Because Miya would scold him when he return a drunken Shou to the royal palace.
「Ma~a, don’t force your young brother to drink alcohol」
Lily is a daughter of Rashindo, Lily take care of Shou because she is familiar with Shou. Kalin likes Lily’s refreshing temper, apparently he wants her to become his first wife. So he leaves everything to her, because he would be chased by his other wives.
(TL: Lily is… Hermiah child I think? Or from other wives of Rashindo? I didn’t have info more than this, even I read next chapter.)
「Very lovely and cute sleeping face! Shou-sama’s first wife must be very excellent」
(TL: I still confused, she says ‘Shou-sama can be a good first wife’ or ‘Shou-sama first wife must be very excellent’? Lol)
When the daughter of the rich family already reaches the marriageable age, they must obey the Southeast Archipelago’s tradition that they mustn’t meet with people other than their family. Although Lily just only saw Shou when he was young, she also knows that he is very friendly with March and Marilyn who are from a different father.
「If Kalin-sama is more little honest, I can take the seat of his first wife…… In this situation the battle between his wives will only become more fierce」
Kalin has a high pride, so he can’t ask her to become his first wife. His grandfather and his uncles are already introducing ladies who wish to become his first wife, but they are rejected by him because of their high-ranking attitude. For the second marriage, you choose your second partner yourself. Indeed, the first wife is a partner in life. Unless your partner is congenial with your heart, you can’t build a mutual trust relationship with each other.
I was glad that I can meet with Lily again, but the captain was hard to find.
