The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 185. Next Money-Making Scheme

185. 185. 185. 185. Next Money-Making Scheme

After a while, when Aihara had recovered from her state of overcapacity, I and Miss Isezaki gave her a full explanation about the other world.

Miss Isezaki, who was transferred to another world after the accident, told us about her adventures as a great saint and the story of her assassination. When she heard about the assassination, Aihara was concerned about Isezaki, with tears in her eyes. Although Isezaki herself seemed not to mind at all, just as she had told me before.

After that, I awakened to time-space magic and could travel to another world, and I met Lady Levia and helped her in various ways—

Since it became quite a long story, I told Aihara slowly while enjoying our meal. The sashimi and clear soup at the high-class restaurant were very delicious.

After listening to everything, Aihara let out a long sigh and took a sip of hot tea. With eyes that seemed to have realized something, she murmured vaguely.

“More than magic, the stories of other worlds are really intense… I wonder if Senpai and Seina-chan were teasing me… I guess it’s true, huh…”

Looking around at our sincere eyes, Aihara nodded to herself in agreement.

“It’s pointless to joke at this point, right? It’s all true. So… Aihara, are you satisfied now?”

Facing the question, Aihara looked straight at me and bowed slightly.

“Yeah, I’m really satisfied, and I’m grateful for telling me the story. Oh, I was too flustered earlier to mention it, but thanks for saving me from those pick-up guys for real.”

“Well, don’t worry about it. I’ve become quite used to dealing with those kinds of people.”

“That’s right. There’s no way you’d fall behind those guys, sir!”

Isezaki said proudly, puffing out her chest. I hadn’t been bothered by thugs until I went to the other world. It’s strange.

…Or rather, looking back, it feels like Isezaki was the one who was almost always targeted—not me. Well, let’s not dwell on it too much.

“Anyway, being harassed by thugs, attacked by bandits, or ambushed by monsters is just an everyday thing in the other world. That’s the kind of world it is over there.”

“Eh… encounters happen that often? The other world sounds really dangerous. In that case, I… was thinking I’d like to visit the other world, but… is that impossible? …Sorry, just thinking aloud.”

Aihara kept glancing at me with a greedy look.

I thought Aihara, being herself, would make a big fuss about wanting to go, but surprisingly, her appeal was modest.

Perhaps she thinks asking for more from me would be shameless. It’s a commendable attitude for Aihara. If I were to refuse, she’d probably back down easily—

“Sure thing. I’ll take you to the other world next time we go shopping.”

“Huh? Really, Senpai!?”

Although she had asked herself, Aihara looked at me with eyes full of disbelief.

“What’s wrong, not happy about it? If you really don’t want to go, it’s fine.”

“I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll definitely go! But… why are you taking me with you, Senpai!?”

“Hmm? Well, you know… it’s like…”

“Oh, I see. So, Matsunaga-kun has something he wants Rio to do?”

As I hesitated with my words, the landlady chuckled interestingly as she reached for the sashimi with her chopsticks. It seems the landlady already knows my intentions.

“That’s right. It’s not like it’s going to be free.”

“Huh, Senpai!? What do you want from me…? Could it be… my, my body…!?”

Blushing, Aihara hugged herself tightly. Seeing this, Isezaki let out a light sigh.

“Rio-san? Sir wouldn’t ask for such a price. You know that, don’t you? …Ah, but a sir like that might be nice too…”

“Why is Seina-chan acting all bashful…? Well, you know it’s just a figure of speech. So, Senpai, what should I do?”

“Oh, I want you to distribute the goods I imported from another world for free at the VIP ward.”

Mr. Juuzou tells me Aihara often visits the VIP ward to see him and that she also interacts with other patients there. 

He even bragged about his granddaughter being on good terms with the VIP elderly folks and is a bit of an idol. 

“Give it to the grandpas and grandmas living in the VIP ward? It sounds easy and smooth, but is that okay? Senpai, weren’t you looking for ways to make money besides selling meat to grandpa? If this is your plan, giving it away for free won’t make much profit, you know?”

“It’s fine, at first it’s free. Eventually, they’ll want it even if they have to pay a lot for it.”

“Huh? What’s that about?! That approach… it’s not some dangerous drug, is it?! That would be no good, right?! I mean, I don’t want to get involved in crime either, but if Senpai is going down the wrong path, then I’ll have to step in and stop you…”

“Are you stupid? Of course it’s not some dangerous drug. …Oh, wait. …Well, in a way, it is dangerous, isn’t it?”

As I was pondering, Isezaki-san exclaimed, raising both hands together.

“So, sir, could it be that?”

“That’s right, it’s that.”

“I see… It’s certainly perfect for the VIP ward. Truly amazing, sir!”

“Hey, hey, hey! Are you two just communicating between yourselves?! Include me too!”

Ignoring Aihara’s commotion, I decided to answer her quickly.

“…It’s a potion. I’m planning to sell potions from another world to wealthy elderly folks.”
