Chapter 109: 110

Chapter 110 - Collecting the Furniture

 

"But what are you going to do, Clarisse, when you say you're going to put items other than what Gran created, are you going to have the lumberjacks prepare some woodwork?"

"Ars-sama, what are you talking about? Of course, we will bring in artisans from abroad, such as Almarri, Barbara, and other top-notch craftsmen, and have them make something that will fit this castle.

"No, wait a minute. Do you mean you're going to select and bring in artisans from other regions, and then have them make the furniture for this castle? We don't have that much time before my marriage to Lilina, so it's impossible."

"Yes, that it is. If you don't like anything by any means, tell me and I'll make something that meets your needs, desu."

"Gran-san, please keep quiet. Ars-sama, this is the first time that I have seen the stained glass of this castle. In order to take this excitement to a higher level, the furnishings must be of high quality."

"Even if you insist. If you can't do it in time, you'll have to give up. The only compromise would be to buy pre-existing items made by first-class craftsmen."

"So you're saying that you're not going to have them make a new one for the castle, but use an existing one? It's a bit eccentric here, so the only way to find something that fits this castle is to see it firsthand..."

"Isn't that all right? I'll tell the merchants to collect furniture. Yes, we can ask the old man to make it like an event."

"Ars-sama, what kind of event?"

"I will say to the merchants who come to Barcania: "Go and gather furniture for this castle", and if it's to Clarisse's liking, let's give them an award when we buy it from them. We can make it an event to check the quality of merchants with us being the connoisseurs. I'm not sure about Barca, but the Grahams are a knightly family with a long history. If any merchants are recognized as skilled by them, the merchants will be motivated to look for more goods and bring them to us. What do you think?"

"It may be ...... good, but there are some things that bother me. As I mentioned earlier, even I have never seen this kind of castle before, and I'm wondering if the merchants who gather here will be able to gather the right furnishings to go with it..."

　Hmmm.

　When you put it that way...

　I'm not sure if there are any powerful merchants who are involved with noble families here, although there have been a few merchants who have come to the market since we made it a free market.

　In fact, the ojiisan has been asking people he knows to come to the market.

The old man himself said he didn't have any connections with the nobility before he handled my Valkyries, and I don't know if the merchants can choose furniture with good taste as Clarisse said.

　But that doesn't mean I can't order them to bring me stuff.

　I might not be able to afford to buy items the merchants might bring, but the merchants might not like that the price is too high, either.

　If you're moving around with expensive furnishings in this day and age, you could be targeted by bandits and lose your life.

　If you know it will sell, you can take some risks and transport it with an armed escort, but if you don't know if it will sell, getting one's hands on items can become difficult.

　At the very least, it may be difficult to collect furniture if the merchant is not convinced that he can sell it.

"Hmm, in that case, let's try this. I'll give this to the old man so that he can show the merchants if their goods will suit the castle. This will help him decide what kind of furnishings will suit the castle."

"Oh, Ars-sama, what is that? I have never seen anything this intricate before....."

"Hmm? It's a miniature Barcan Castle that I built as a prototype before building this castle. See, if you pull the end like this, it will split in two. When you hold it up to the light like this, it reproduces the light intensity of the stained glass in the audience hall. Isn't it amazing?"

　What I showed Clarisse and the others was a miniature model of the castle that looked like a scaled-down version of the actual Barcan Castle.

　The castle has a gimmick where it splits into left and right sides in the middle, and I think it's quite elaborate.

　If we handed this to the merchants via the old man, they would be able to choose the right furniture for the castle while comparing it to the real miniature.

If they were going to be rated as merchants, the merchants would probably search pretty hard and bring what they thought they could sell.

"It's amazing, Ars-sama. I can't believe you have something like this here ....... May I have that model later? I have to show it to Lady Lilina!"

"Yes, of course."

"Ars-sama, are you sure? Isn't it better that the structure of the castle should not be exposed to the masses so recklessly?"

"No need to worry about that, Leon-san. This is just a model that I made mainly to reproduce the stained glass. The exterior and the audience chamber are accurate, but the rest of the model has been simplified."

"I see. But I think it's better to be careful just in case. This model is on loan, and it would be better to retrieve it when we gather the furniture. If any of the merchants don't return it, we'll have to deal with them accordingly."

"All right, I'll do that. Then I'll make a few more of these models and tell the old man to give them to the merchants. Clarisse will take a look at the furniture that has been gathered and choose the ones that she thinks are appropriate for this castle and place them here. Is that okay with you, Gran?"

"Well, then I will participate in the examination of the items, that I will. If it's not new, I don't know what kind of defective items are there, desu. I will be checking with Clarisse-dono to make sure that she doesn't just judge by appearance and buy something that is useless."

"Oh, in that case, Gran-san, please take care of the screening."

　In this way, Barcan Castle was being completed by Clarisse and Gran.

　The fancy items that had been placed before were removed, and only the minimum amount of calm and elegant items were placed where they were needed.

　I hadn't paid attention to it before because of the excitement of building the castle, but the new furnishings certainly transformed the castle into a calm and relaxing space.

　Incidentally, it probably goes without saying that the money we had saved through our money-making activities since the establishment of the Barca Knight's Domain had almost run out again after this incident.

　After the marriage was over, I had to earn money again.

CadmarLegend Sorry if the way this chapter was translated is confusing. I'm tired. I really need an editor. I'm still trying to get that application for editing in.

Btw, this is a pre-translated chapter I scheduled to be posted at 6:40 AM (in my time zone) so I might have already created an application in. I'm scheduling it to see the limits of SH's lag.
