The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 16.2
In October, the initial members gathered in the family living room to launch the trading company. My father, currently away at the imperial palace, lamented, ‘It seems I might be appointed as a minister.’.
So, only the three children from our family will be attending. However, no one in this place dared to underestimate us as children. At least within the castle, there’s no one who treats Chris as a child.
The member representing my father is Sebastian, the former butler. He has been assigned exclusively to the annex under construction for the trading company. It’s the same for my former butler, Rex. It seems he’s been studying various things under Chris’s instructions since before this summer. Even now, he remains exclusively mine, assisting with the specialized tasks of my trading company.
Nick, the former butler of Big Brother Chris, is the third son of a viscount. He has experience in bookkeeping and tax accounting because his family’s estate is small. He’s a seemingly cunning older brother with glasses, and a snapshot of him with Big Brother Chris is my ultimate source of comfort.
Moira, Big Brother Alan’s former maid, is the daughter of a baron. She is big and can use a sword, but also enjoys cute clothes and accessories. So I’d like her to create things from a woman’s perspective,
Up to this point, these are people involved, more or less amateurs. Feeling uneasy about this, my father and Big Brother Chris called out to the merchants and successfully recruited two professionals. The first one is Glenn. He was a former peddler in his late 30s and used to bring us a variety of rare items from overseas.
Approaching his forties and thinking about settling down, he received an invitation that altered his plans. His wife and children also began living in a new house very close to the castle.
The second recruit is Hugh, a charismatic man in his mid-twenties. Originally planning to learn a trade and become independent, he heard rumors about the lord’s children starting something, he thought it would be interesting and rushed over.
“First of all, let me tell you this. Don’t forget the magic contract that was signed at the same time as the employment contract. Any conversations, rare products, etc. that were exchanged within the company must not be discussed outside the company.”
Big Brother Chris says as he stands by the window and looks at each member in the room as if checking them one by one.
“Also, there’s no need to treat Alan and Dia as if they were children. Consider them on the same level as me.”
Not only Glenn and Hugh, who were meeting me for the first time, but even the butlers standing next to the wall looked at me with surprised faces.
Anyway, my father and mother already felt that something was wrong with me, so I was gradually told that I should stop pretending to be a child. Of course I won’t talk about reincarnation.
“This young lady ? The same as Master Chris ?”
“When it comes to creativity, Dia surpasses us all. You could even say that this trading company was created for her. However, if there is something you would like to do, don’t hesitate to speak up. If it seems promising, we’ll consider adopting it.”
The room’s atmosphere is, well, like, ‘Huh ? Will this company be okay ?’ Perhaps they’re thinking I got involved because it’s well-known that Father and Big Brother Chris dote on me.
“Shouldn’t we talk about what Dia is trying to achieve?””
Big Brother Alan spoke while taking my hand and gently patting it,
“Hehe.”
I’ve been waiting for this day since I was born. I needed to show that radio calisthenics isn’t the only thing about me.
“First, we’ll change the design of the women’s underwear. I plan to involve those who usually help Mother make dresses, and I was wondering if it’s alright for Ms. Moira to take charge ?”
I tilted my head and smiled at Moira, but there was no response. Her eyes were so wide it seemed like they might pop out, and she was looking at me with a face that said, ‘What on earth is going on with this child?!’
“You went all out right from the beginning, huh?”
“I don’t mind Moira taking charge. Mother’s influence is necessary to spread the finished products.”
The only ones who responded were my two older brothers. Rex was laughing at everyone’s surprise and not being helpful. Brad was only standing by as a butler, so he had no say in the matter, but he was also laughing.
“Mr. Glenn, you were a peddler, right?”
But let’s move quickly. Otherwise, I might forget what I wanted to talk about today.
“Yes.”
“Do you have any elastic sap from the southern countries?”
“Eh? Oh, I’ve heard that there are trees with such sap in a small country further south of the Luftanen Kingdom.”
“Please get me a sample.”
“….Okay.”
“The underwear women wear now is bothersome, and on snowy nights in the capital, it gets very cold. Single men who aren’t married probably wouldn’t know much about women’s underwear, but I hear that many of them go barefoot. That’s why I want to get rid of those drawers and make tights that go all the way to the thighs.
Japanese-style stockings or tights might be a bit difficult. However, we can create lightweight socks. For panties, something like the ones used by grandmothers that cover up to the navel would be suitable. Or maybe a girdle that wraps around the hips. The pants should cover the buttocks as well. Otherwise, I don’t think elegant noblewomen would wear them.
In this world, unmarried women rarely show anything below their ankles until they get married. Just touching the shoulder or hand of a single woman can earn you a scolding. But what if, instead of drawers, the wife had fitted underwear with a garter belt underneath her dress? The birth rate would increase !
“Is everyone keeping up with her ?”
Big Brother Chris said with a laugh, and the tense atmosphere in the room eased.
“This is… I need to brace myself.”
“Oh, it’s absolutely amazing. I’m glad I came.”
The two merchants adapt quickly. Good luck, former butlers.
“Big Brother Chris, you have built a kitchen in the annex for the trading company, right?”
“I’m having it made just as you instructed. We’re currently in the process of selecting a few chefs.”
“I would like to open a restaurant someday, and once the first chefs learn the recipes, I would like them to train the others as well.”
“A restaurant ? Should we secure the land?”
“Wait a moment, please. It might be risky to expand the discussion too much while we haven’t even finished constructing buildings for the trading company.”
“You’re right. So, where should we start ?”
“There is something I would like you to start quickly as a top priority !”
With enthusiasm, I raise my hand to make the announcement.
“Please modify the carriages.”
“…Where did the previous conversation go?”
“What part of the carriages do you want to modify?”
“We’ll remove the wheels.”
I’m a master at freezing the atmosphere.
ATTENTION PLEASE !!
Maybe I won’t be able to translate until next week because there’s a test I need to take. I hope you can wait patiently until then. Thank you and sorry for that.
