Chapter 40: Making soap and hotcake! Part 2

Me and the orphanage girls focused on one store that we could see from a room.

The shop opened on it’s schedule. And in an instant the people who were waiting in a line since night headed inside like an avalanche and came out with small paper packages in their hands and happy faces.

But, the ones who were behind weren’t able to acquire anything so they left the store cursing the store with annoyed faces. Because the production was limited the demand surpassed the supply so it quickly got sold out.

“The soap that Master made is super popular! As expected, Master!”

Lucia watched it unfold and excitedly told me about it.

We’ve been working on prototype’s to make soap for some time now, but several days ago it was completed and yesterday we consigned our sales to the store.

For us to be able to look at the sales today, we hired a room from a building near it.

“Masatsugu-sama is strong, kind and on top of that also holds business capability! You are really amazing!”

“The picture books also continues to be a popular item~ I think only an prodigy would be able to develop a lot of human commodities.”

“I think all of these will absolutely be popular in my country! No, demand from the entire continent will rush in!”

That’s what they said.

But, I just shook my head.

“I’m just using the knowledge I have from the previous world. It’s not big of a deal.”

And said that.

“Yeah but Master decided to create what he was certain about that it would sale, right? If you say it like that isn’t that business talent?”

“That’s right. Masatsugu-sama’s skill of applying and creativeness are not ordinary. In addition you selected and created commodities that could be developed within the orphanage’s funding. I’m an Elf princess so I know that the most important qualities for managing an organization is the intuitive understanding of the income and expenditure balance. Masatsugu-sama holds that talent even without nobody teaching you.”

“Rather than being bewildered about suddenly coming to another world, you instead abruptly build the foundation of economy~ For normal people that’s certainly impossible.”

“Umu, Masatsugu-dono has several hundred more economic power than the Demon King’s country aswell!”

They exchanged glances between each other and lightly smiled and said that.

Yeah, I just intuitively did it, I was not especially conscious about doing it.

I again said the same but the girls denied me with saying “That is a talent!”.

Sigh.

“Well, whether I have the talent or not, each way is fine.”

The girls sighed and left as it was.

I’ve already remarkably did things in various fields, having too much talent is troublesome.

As a matter of fact, I’m totally envious of normality.

If I could only share my talents with somebody, then I alone won’t have to pull the world.

That’s what I thought from my heart.

At any rate, the state of sales are favourable. I don’t know how long I can keep the manufacturing process a secret but the orphanage will have a stable income until a similar product is made.

While I was thinking it happened.

“What are you saying, you bastard! Why won’t you obey the king’s order!”

I heard an angry voice from outside through the window.

I looked and there was a guy with a small moustache on his face and sharp shoulders. He was a proud royal soldier who wore top quality armor and looked down on people naturally.

That soldier was alone.

He called the shop owner to the entrance and questioned him while holding him by the collar. Probably, it was about the soap that became a big hit and came to buy it but since it was sold out he became angry. It was no different than a child throwing a tantrum but there was no cuteness it so it was unsightly.

“You bastard~ You won’t bring it out no matter what!?”

“Hii!! Please forgive me! New arrivals of soap are in the future. If you could wait for a few days…”

“Be silent! I am Rayson-sama the leader of the royal chivalric order! I received an imperial order from the King to bring him the soap of the talk! You bastard defying my order is the same thing as going against the King! That’s an immediate death penalty! No, it won’t be just you. Your whole family will be killed aswell.”

“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!? Please have mercy! Me and my wife have a ten year old daughter!”

“Be silent! I don’t wanna hear excuses! I say it’s death penalty.”

Sigh.

“Oi, enough fooling around.”

“Bugeha”

I instantaneously transferred from the 2nd floor and grabbed the knight that was threatening the shop owner and threw him on the ground.

“Ngiiiiiiiiiiii”

Being unable to bear the pain from having his head pressed into the dirt he roared.

“Y-You bastard! What are you doing! Who do you think I am!? I’m the imperial knights leader Rayson! Let me go, aaaaaaaaaaah!”

The knight was screaming while writhing in pain.

“Noisy!”

But, I couldn’t stand his wailing for long and once again I pressed the head of the guy named Rayson to the ground.

“Gya!?”

I hit his face on the ground his nose got broken and has a nosebleed.

He let out a pitiful voice.

“Good grief… just stay put. You criminal.”

To the screaming imperial knight leader I astonishingly told him my innermost thoughts.

“I’m the imperial knights leader!? To judge me, you would need the hearing of the King!”

The man for an instant was surprised and looked at me with a triumphant expression and with an loud voice and disgusting smile he objected.

Perhaps he’s smiling that he thinks he’s superior to me.

“What are you talking about? That law is invalid. My words take priority over the laws of this country.”

I said that and once again I pressed the face of the criminal Rayson to the ground so that I can restrict his movement.

“Nguuuuuuu!”

Rayson’s face was buried in the soil and while suffocating he cried out with a muffled voice.

He already looked like a vagrant with his face smeared with mud, his broken nose that was leaking blood from it and tears were mashed in it too, furthermore his once sparkling armor had sludge sticking to it in large quantities from him writhing around.

“Master!”

During our exchange, the orphanage girls came running.

Fumu, sometimes it’s necessary to learn from a bad example.

Let’s show a bit what kind of punishment the criminal would receive.

“Oi, *former* imperial knight leader, criminal Rayson.”

“Impossible! I am the Warmmes Kingdom imperial knight leader!”

He was surprised at my words and yelled out.

“Blackmailing to attempted murder. There’s no way that a criminal offender can have a imperial position. You were discharged not while ago. You being a soldier is unsatisfactory. Therefore you’re discharged.”

I shook my head and said that.

“Impossible! Impossible! On whose permission are you doing this!? You’re arresting a member of the noted family Holden who for generations has produced imperial knights!? The king won’t forgive you!?”

“Punishment is passed down impartially. Who is irrelevant. In the first place, this situation is due to the lack of control from the King. Later, I’ll go punish the King. Now, criminal Rayson you are no longer a knight. You are a normal person, that’s why the sword on your back is no longer needed. That sword will be seized, come offer it to me.”

On my order the man opened his eyes in surprise and began acting violent.

“A sword is a knight’s life! Moreso, this sword has been given by the given, passed down generation to generation in my family! It’s not for the likes of you to touch it!”

He was saying that and desperately resisted and was escaping from my hands.

“It’s fine either way. I’m taking it away.”

I lightly said that and while holding his head down with the other hand I took his sword from him.

“You bastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! Touching my prideeeeeeeeee!”

Rayson was screaming that.

“No signs of remorse. Furthermore a penalty is required. No feeling of making progress. Can’t be helped, this is where you part with the sword.”

At his attitude I was disappointed and said that from the bottom of my heart. I took his sword from his sheath and with a Gunya sound it was bent.

Yup, it became an artistic sword with a form of a ring.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaa!? My soul!! The holy sword given by the King!?”

At the sight Rayson was beginning to cry.

Pitiful. Paying for one’s own mistakes, he could’ve avoided this if he never done any criminal acts.

But, I gave him a suitable punishment for him as his superior in the future he may get a chance for rehabilitation.

I’ll give him a chance. It’s up to him later.

I was thinking and turned towards the girls to inform them.

“Did you see, girls? This is the fate of a criminal. From this poor criminal Rayson you can see what not to do. If you bad things just like this guy, then you’ll be punished as a criminal and will be a failure of society.”

“Yes, Master! Basically If I don’t do bad things, then I’ll be liked more by Master? I’ll be careful!”

“To be loved more properly by Masatsugu-sama, I’ll be a good girl!”

“Same for me~ I don’t want to be hated by Masatsugu-san~”

“Me too~ I’ll put my effort to be liked by Masatsugu-dono.”

They obediently nodded their heads and said their opinions.

Yeah, somehow I feel it is slightly off than I what I had said.

Probably my imagination?

I was confused for a while.

“Well it’s fine. Now, it’s for the punishment of the king. Oi, Rayson you were former imperial knight, right? Do lead the way fully.”

He looked at me as if he shut himself in his resentment when I ordered him.

“Fuumu, seems you have not repent enough. Laara.”

Laara understood completely what I said and used her black magic and fired her all dissolving water spell at Rayson.

The man’s silver armor began to melt slowly.

“Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?”

Rayson’s agoniful scream was echoed in the town.

But, I took no consideration to the guy that was writhing on the ground, I looked at the armor melting on the ground and sighed “Haa”.

“What’s wrong, Master?”

Lucia looked at my situation and asked in worry.

“Nothing, I just remembered a science experiment.”

I answered with no worry and pet her head.

“Silver mirror reaction…”

At my murmur, Lucia and the other girls weren’t able to understand so they tilted their heads in confusion.

Well, it’s natural.

Fuumu, well at any rate, the punishment given for the incompetent King will be a bit later.

This will be the orphanage’s next big hit for a commodity.

I embraced it with conviction and with high spirits I was preparing to go back home.
