Chapter 39

“Huh? That’s completely bullshit. Well, it is indeed harmful to children.””what? canard?””Yes. It’s like alcohol. Drinking in moderation is fine, but drinking too much harms anyone. Isn’t there a saying that alcohol is only harmful to women?””Is that so? But obviously at first….”Tedler’s author monopolized the import of green coffee beans and distributed them to the market.And Viscount Tedler….’He was a blatant racist.’The younger generation is said to be getting better these days, but there are still many racists among older people like Viscount Tedler.Among them, Viscount Tedler was famous for his status and for being harsh on men and women.That is why the young nobles in the imperial office sometimes referred to Viscount Tedler as a ‘double kkondae’.This is because he supported the ancient tradition while discriminating against his daughters and sons and raised his eldest daughter as the emperor’s concubine.When Baron Vero O’Neill realized what he had forgotten, he was stunned as if he had been hit in the back of the head.At that time, the blue-haired staff member said as if giving a tip.”I didn’t know that coffee is only harmful to women, that there are still people who believe in such an outdated idea…. 🥺”Baron Vero’O’Neil’s face turned red as he looked at the back of the employee who had said that and disappeared.’Damn it….’Viscount Vero’O’Neil, in her own way, evaluated herself as a young scholar who was awake and lived with pride.By the way, he believed only unsubstantiated stories and he was discriminated against.While his face was hot with shame, he started to like this place more than other coffee houses for some reason.Those who had come together were busy coughing and turning their heads when their eyes met.”Try it first.”Viscount Vero’onil took a bite of the sweet cake and gulped down the cold coffee.It was a fantastic blend of sweet and savory coffee with a moderately bitter taste.”The coffee here tastes very different. Is it because it’s cold?””I ordered hot coffee, and this coffee also tastes different. Is it bitter and savory? Hmm….””It smells great too. It’s not burnt, it’s very fragrant.””Before, I saw that there were many different types of coffee….””Hmm, how about having our next meeting here?”When Viscount Vero’onil asked a question, one or two people said they liked it and started to agree.And the table right next to Viscount Vero’O’Neil.Claire, sitting opposite Oscar drinking coffee, grinned at them.’Combination of sweet cake and iced Americano. It’s delicious, right?’The coffee will also be very savory and delicious.Claire was a coffee fanatic who once fell in love with drip coffee in her previous life.So, he passed on all his skills to reliable employees through Orphana. That wasn’t enough, he also gave me various recipes for coffee drinks that he knew.Perhaps more and more guests will fall in love with the taste of coffee that is unique to this place.”Come on, Claire. Eat this.”Cybill, who was sitting next to him, picked up the macaron and put it into Claire’s mouth.Claire took a big bite and smiled exaggeratedly as if it was delicious and she wanted to die.Then Cybill’s lips twitched.”Come on, Claire. Claire’s older sister is the best, right?””… Yes.”Claire glanced at Elliot with a hopeful feeling. Perhaps… Did you brag about that recording magic tool to Cybill too?”Eat this too, Claire.”Sitting in the diagonal direction, Elliot scooped up a little cake and put it in Claire’s mouth.Claire once again exaggerated and exclaimed that it was delicious.’I’m tired.’Seeing Elliot feeling proud, Claire sighed inwardly.At that moment, Oscar, sitting across from him, pouted something.It was a glass with fragrant chocolate milk that was not too sweet.”Eat while drinking, Raffin.””Thank you, brother Oscar.”Claire smiled as she drank the milk.Elliot and Cybill glared at Oscar as if in check, but Oscar shrugged his shoulders.Claire looked at the three of them with blurry eyes.Oscar just came home to play today, so he went out with Cybill and Elliot.I also do market research.Elliot and Cybill have been busy lately and haven’t had time to go out.’They say they’re taking a new instrument class together….’It’s good to get to know the two of you, but I thought the youngsters were already too busy.So, Claire was only visiting here for the first time today.Even if he wanted to go out on his own, he had no choice but to give permission.I really liked the cafe.There are a few spots to tweak, but this was good enough. I also liked the fact that the guests were already running out.’Now, we have to open branches all over the empire.’This was just the beginning of a means to make money. There was something else that Claire really wanted to do in the future.* * *The new coffee house quickly captured the capital aristocrats.From opening to closing every day, the 2nd and 3rd floor terraces were all full of customers.late night. Claire looked at Orphana counting the money in her room.The figure of Orpana sitting crookedly counting money gave off a feeling like the female boss of a financial fraud group.’Anyway, I’m going to buy it with the money I saved now.’ 「Baby, what are you trying to buy?」’That’s it. Any trades coming in in the next few years?’「Yes? Is it like coffee?」’that’s right. Unlike coffee, it is brought from the eastern continent.’In this world, there were not many exchanges with the eastern continent yet.In the original story, the main characters’ childhood, and how the Tedler family made money….This item played the most decisive role in their becoming rich.「If it’s the eastern continent….」’Somewhere closer than the port in Viscount Tedler.’Pertas Port was a very good location to bring in the existing trade goods.So so far they have been able to monopolize some trades.But ships coming from the eastern continent….’To enter the port of Pertas, you have to go round and round, so the efficiency is not good. It is dangerous to go to a route where pirates often appear.’「Then we will need a new port.」’that’s right.’Claire nodded his head.A lottery-like land that will soon be won by the queen’s family.The ‘Tirs Port’ could communicate with the eastern continent.Claire intended to intercept it.’A certain nobleman must be in a rage to sell the estate now….’A lord needing urgent power must have offered the land very cheaply.And the sensible Viscount Tedler bought the land and received an invitation.’Anyway, business luck is a natural inspiration.’Claire chuckled and went into the duvet.I’m still short on money, but sooner or later I can purchase the land right away.”Hey, I’m sleepy. Orphan. thanks for your effort. I’ll sleep first.”「Yes, Master. Don’t worry, get a good night’s sleep!」Recently, Orphana has been so sincere and loyal that it couldn’t be more loyal.The more that happened, the more Claire felt burdened with the ‘holy relics’ she was looking for in the future…. First of all, I decided to eat Orphana in full force.「Sleep well, sweetheart.」’Yes, bye.’So Claire fell into a deep sleep.And 20 minutes after Claire fell asleep.shudder.Claire’s door was gently opened, and the Duke of Aston entered.Recently, the duke, who was busy with official work, was late for work, so he didn’t see Claire’s face often.So after Claire fell asleep, he sneaked in like this and looked at his face for a long time before leaving.”It’s not lovely either.”He looked down at Claire with a warm gaze and ruffled his hair.At that moment, Claire, who was deeply asleep, began to mumble something.”Well? Do you have any sleep talk?”The Duke of Aston listened in surprise and widened his eyes. You can’t miss this cute scene.But when I listened carefully to Claire’s sleep talk….”Harbor…. Sea….””Sea?””Sea…. Harbor…. ship….””Haha, do you dream of sailing in the sea? Be cute.”Haha, the smiling Duke Aston’s expression hardened for a moment. he was in trouble.’Well, come to think of it, isn’t Claire’s real birthday coming up?’In fact, Claire’s birthday has been a miserable and sad day for his family.But now that Claire was back, it was necessary to properly celebrate the day.’What is it that Claire wants to have…. toy? chocolate?’But that’s all….Then, just in time, Claire began to mumble again.”Sea…. Harbor… ship….”Just as the light in the darkened head turns on, ‘Ah!’ murmured.”Yes! Let’s buy a port and a ship!”
