Pushover Extra Trains the Villainesses

Chapter 103: Sweet Business Method II

“Please put it here. I have to leave soon, so please check the amount one more time.”

In Bern, one of the central cities of Schwyz, Yuria was conducting a final check on the funding situation for one of the trades while commanding the workers. The workers were carrying countless silver coins in wagons and boxes. The amount was 800 talets when converted, equivalent to 8 million silver coins.

‘I feel it every time, but I think I’ve really succeeded. Just two years ago, my hands were shaking at 100 silver coins… but now I can’t believe I’m managing this amount of money…’ Yuria thought to herself. 

Although these were the funds to be used by the Beden Merchant Company in their current trade, Yuria felt quite excited to be involved in managing such an unimaginable amount of funds. From behind her, the voice of the person supervising the trade schedule could be heard.

“Are you ready?”

“Ah, yes Ms. Isolda. 800 talets in cash, all prepared in silver.”

“Okay, then we have to start soon… but before that. Yuria, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Yes? A favor?”

Isolda’s unexpected words made Yuria feel suspicious. She asked, and Isolda secretly pointed to the people standing behind her. Standing there were a group of strangers and Bahamut’s direct escort, Ophelia.

And…

“Wait, aren’t you…?”

“Nice to meet you, Yuria. Do you remember me?” A familiar boy greeted her with a smile.

Yuria nodded, “Yes, I remember. You’re the boy I saw in the Hangurian royal castle. Hmmm, Robben…Roben Schurt, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. You haven’t forgotten!”

Robben expressed unfiltered joy at Yuria’s words. 

Yuria smiled and asked him, “Nice to see you again, but what are you doing here? This isn’t a place for a Hangurian aristocratic boy to come to play…”

“That’s…”

With those words, Robben looked at Isolda. 

Isolda then explained to Yuria with a calm expression.

“It is a kind of field trip. Robben’s father is one of our main investors, so he was told to take a look at our fund management situation and participate in this journey.”

“Ah, I see.”

As the Beden Merchant Company was a huge merchant corporation, it was natural to receive investments from high-ranking people from various countries. Yuria accepted the situation without much doubt. Seeing this, Isolda, Ophelia, and Robben—no, the knights in charge of escorting the Hangurian prince Robert—let out a sigh of relief.

‘Fortunately, it seems like they just trust us.’

‘Honestly, I was a little worried… but I don’t think there will be any problems.’

Isolda and Ophelia were well aware of the inside story. The Hangurian King’s request for his son to tour various countries as part of his education had been received by Bahamut. Bahamut ordered Prince Robert to accompany the Merchant on the tour and attached Ophelia, the strongest force of the company, along with it.

However, Prince Robert had one personal request: to hide his identity from Yuria. 

Recognizing the prince’s feelings, Isolda, Ophelia, and the prince’s escort knights supported his request.

‘He’s a prince, but he has a secretly cute side…’

‘It’s nice to see. A boy’s fresh love…’

‘He’s still a bit young, but the prince was also a man.’

‘Honestly, her appearance is a bit average… well, that’s not the only reason you fall for someone else.’

The present Hangurian dynasty was established by the nobles, not a royal family. King Mohichi, who met and fell in love with a commoner woman and married her, always told his children that the status of a marriage partner was not important. Happiness and stability came from meeting the person one truly wanted.

Knowing this, the escort knights supported Prince Robert’s interest in Yuria. 

Unaware of this situation, Yuria was just delighted that someone she was close to would be accompanying her, while Prince Robert was happy to be near the girl who hadn’t left his mind since their first meeting.

The party departed from Bern filled to the brim with cash. The procession, more vigilant than usual, did not contain any trade goods. It was the beginning of this trade and they would buy more things during the journey.

In the corner of the wagon full of cash, Yuria explained her future schedule to Robben.

“First of all, the first place we will go is the Lugano area in the south.”

“Lugano… I’ve heard of it. I heard that the weapons used by the Hangurian Black Legion come from that place.”

“That’s right. Lugano produces a lot of high-quality iron ore. But this is only for iron ore, and you have to go to another area to smelt it. It usually goes through processing in Selberg or Milan, but during this trip we will be going to Milan.”

“I see… that means all that money…”

“Yes, about half of the funds will be used in Lugano and the rest will be used in Milan. The journey will continue for a long time after that.”

“Lugano… and Milan… I’ve never been there before.”

Robben’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. 

Yuria smiled lightly and said, “Lugano has a bit of a rural feel, but Milan definitely has a lot to see and do. Let’s go around together for a while after the schedule. Even if it looks like this, I can definitely serve as a guide.”

“Yes, I look forward to it.”

Robben smiled brightly, and Yuria began to feel a bit of joy in her heart. It was fun to tell a young boy who didn’t know much about the world about this and that, especially someone of her own age.

‘Honestly, I haven’t made many friends my age, but this is better than I imagined.’

Since she entered the upper ranks of Beden, Yuria had mostly been around adults. Although everyone was nice to her, she didn’t have many opportunities to meet her peers. In that sense, meeting Robben felt like a gift.

Yuria got a little excited and started telling Robben about Lugano.

“Lugano is very rural, but one mine is really great. It’s impossible to go directly into the tunnel, but the scale alone is jaw-dropping.”

“How big is it?”

“Umm… it’s as big as the Hangurian Royal Palace I saw before.”

“That big?”

“In fact, it’s one of the largest iron mines on the continent, and Lugano has several such places. It was originally owned by some evil nun, but about a year ago, our Beden Merchant Company took over completely. The process of Mr. Bahamut and Ms. Isolda obtaining this was really amazing.”

“How did they do it?”

“Mr. Bahamut prepared a fake gold mine knowing that the nun was scamming the workers and preying on innocent people…”

Yuria told the story of how the Beden Merchant Company took over the Lugano area. 

As he listened, Prince Robert’s eyes shone with growing curiosity.

Whenever the flow of the world changes, there are two types of people: those who understand and adapt smoothly, and those who are left behind. 

In the hearts of those left behind, a deep resentment arises—a resentment that is devastating for those who think they have nothing to lose.
