When I looked at the newspaper, I saw that the stock I bought for 300,000 crown coins had become 15 million crown coins. It wasn’t just a ten-bagger, where the stock price had risen ten-fold, it had risen fifty-fold!
“Sales have increased, and we have reopened the stores that we had closed. We are also moving forward with plans to open three branches overseas.”
As word spread that they had been able to raise funds from the Royal Bank, the share price apparently soared.
If I sell my shares, I’ll have funds to build the railways through the tunnel!
I’ll go to Polymer stock exchange tomorrow and sell my stock certificates.
“What’s the matter, Cedie? You’re grinning happily.”
“Something good has happened. Hehe.”
“Then we must celebrate even more. Cedie-kun, why don’t you bring over some Château Gandalcia first?”
“I’ll have it brought here right away. Mary, please get Masciolini-san and Paul-oniisan some wine.”
Everyone would be amazed if a railway is built. Once Earl Simpson saw the real train, he would realize how convenient it would be. If that happens, he may allow the extension of the line to Lebon. In some cases, he may even give me money to extend the route.
Oh, I’m getting fevered with excitement……
Just when I had those thoughts, my happiness level is 100%!
“Sit down, Cedie. Let’s have a meal together.”
“Sorry, brother. I have an urgent work to do. I’m really sorry but I can’t join you today.”
“Hey, hey. We are here to celebrate you becoming a Baron you know.”
“I’m really grateful for that, but I really have to do it now and I can’t postpone it. I’ll tell you why later. This isn’t a bad deal for you brother.”
I want to make the best wine possible, using the best grapes, in the best possible condition.
“Well, if Cedie says that, there must be a good reason. Okay, we’ll be having fun here so you can go.”
“Sorry for this!”
I said goodbye to brother and Masciolini-san and hurried to the winery.
There are two things that need to be done today. The first is the preparation of wine. If I use sparkling grapes when my happiness level is at 100%, I’m sure I can make an incredible wine.
This is a rare opportunity, so it’s now or never.
After that, I’d like to start working in the fields. In this state, I will definitely be able to produce a sparkling crop. I’ll cultivate the vineyard and then sow seeds on the vacant farmland.
Hmm.… melon soft-serve ice cream made with sparkling melon…..
I wonder how delicious it would be! If Char eat something like that, she would be overjoyed for sure. I’ll have to tell Eugenie about it too.
In the afternoon, we worked at the winery to prepare the wine, and in the evening, I tended to the vineyards.
I am really excited to know what kind of wine can I make this time.
I’ve worked a lot today, so I’m exhausted. I decided to go to bed early, following the saying that good things come to those who wait.
“Father, Char can’t sleep because I’m looking forward to the sparkling melon soft-serve ice cream!”
“Right…… Me too…… I’m looking forward……”
I soon fell asleep next too the super excited Char.

The next day, I went out to Polymer early in the morning and sold shares at the stock exchange.
Of course, I wasn’t alone. Char and Mio-san accompanied me as my bodyguards. There is a guest staying at the Auberge, so we came here without telling Upa. If I informed him, he would surely want to come with me.
We just can’t leave our customers alone, right? I want to run a business where trust is the most important thing.
Mio has her sword at her waist and is keeping an eye on the left and right with alertness.
“I-, I’m nervous. I can’t believe we have thirty 500,000 crown coins in the purse……”
“Char is here so don’t worry. If the bad guys come, I’ll fight them off with punches!”
“Don’t overdo it. If Char gets serious, the opponent will fly off beyond the horizon.”
The anxiety of having a large amount of money combined with my desire to build a railway as soon as possible naturally made me go fast.
The bandits didn’t show up, and we made our way back to Gandalcia safely.
“Thank you for your hard work, Mio-san.”
“Ha~, it’s been a long time since I’ve been so nervous.”
Mio-san has a look on her face that says she has finally been able to unload a heavy luggage.
“Fifteen million crown coins made me nervous too. It’s stressful to hold a lot of money so let’s go and build the railways right away.”
“Char also want to see the railways!”
“Can I come along?”
Earl Simpson gave me permission to build a station, so I decided to build the railway station at once. At the planned location in front of the auberge, I opened my status screen. However, I noticed that some conditions were not released.
There are a number of conditions for the railway to pass through. The undersea tunnel is restored, the island level 3 is higher, and one driver is secured.
We have secured funds and points, but I don’t have a designated driver yet. I thought I could do it, but it doesn’t seem to work, and magic doesn’t work either.
“This is difficult……”
“What’s wrong?”
“For me to be able to build the railway, I need a driver.”
“What is a driver?”
“It’s like a coachman. In other words, it is the person who pilots the train.”
Mio-san’s face lit up.
“Then leave it to me. I’m good at handling carriages.”
“Hmm….. I’ll give you a salary of course, but you’ll have to work full-time. Is that okay with you?”
“I’d be delighted if I could be of any help to you, Cedie-san!”
It’s completely different from a horse-drawn carriage, but it’s not that difficult to pilot a magic train. I’m sure Mio-san can do it.
“Okay, I’ll leave it you.”
