SIGN Saving 80,000 Gold
in Another World
for My Retirement
[01:37] Mitsuha
Royal capital, here I am!
[01:41] Mitsuha
And so, I've finally made it
to the capital, Onii-chan!
[01:43] Tsuyoshi
You're opening a shop here?
[01:45] Mitsuha
Yep! Straight to a realtor I go
to secure a suitable property!
[01:48] Mitsuha
The referral letter from
Count Bozes really helped!
[01:50] Tsuyoshi
I see. But don't you need furnishings?
[01:53] Mitsuha
I hired a local craftsman
to renovate the place.
[01:55] Mitsuha
Oh, but there's a bunch of stuff
I brought over from Earth via jumping.
[01:58] Tsuyoshi
Makes sense.
[01:59] Tsuyoshi
You've gotten one step closer to
fulfilling your ambitions, sister of mine!
[02:04] Mitsuha
Yes, for a happy retirement...
[02:07] Mitsuha
Hello there.
I've just moved in next door.

General Store Mitsuha
[02:10] Mitsuha
Here's a towel for you.
Please use it if you'd like.
[02:13] Housewife
Oh, you shouldn't have...
[02:16] Housewife
It's so soft!
[02:17] Mitsuha
We have more for sale!
[02:20] Mitsuha
I'm going to save up 80,000 gold!
[02:23] Mitsuha
Hello!
[02:24] Mitsuha
Ah, here!
[02:25] Mitsuha
Take one!
[02:25] Passerby 1
What is this, paper?
[02:27] Passerby 2
It's so thin and smooth!
[02:30] Mitsuha
General Store Mitsuha's
officially open for business!
[02:35] Sign
General Store Mitsuha
[02:41] Mitsuha
Mm-hmm, looking good!
[02:44] Mitsuha
Mostly stocked from 100-yen shops!
[02:47] Mitsuha
A rotating selection of somewhat
luxury items and convenience goods.
[02:51] Mitsuha
I chose things that you'd be sad to see
go away, but aren't strict necessities.
[02:56] Mitsuha
These are for myself.
[02:59] Mitsuha
All righty, then!
[03:00] Mitsuha
Now all that's left is to wait
for some customers!
[03:13] Mitsuha
Well, it's only the first day...
[03:15] Mitsuha
This isn't like a supermarket
grand opening sale! That's right!
[03:27] Mitsuha
No, it's only the second day...
[03:34] Mitsuha
Why? Why can't I get any customers?!
[03:38] Mitsuha
Should I keep the shop open until later?
[03:41] Mitsuha
But that means I have to
work longer hours...
[03:45] Mitsuha
What to do? What to do?!
[03:52] Mitsuha
Finally!
[03:54] Mitsuha
Welcome!
[03:56] Anke
Ah, er... this shop just opened, right?
[03:59] Mitsuha
Yes! We just started two days ago!
[04:02] Mitsuha
Please take your time browsing!
[04:04] Mitsuha
That was a close one...
[04:06] Mitsuha
I'll just drive them away
if I'm too aggressive.
[04:09] Mitsuha
Let's wait and watch.
[04:10] Anke
What's this?
[04:12] Mitsuha
That's a fish scaler.
[04:13] Mitsuha
You can easily remove fish scales with it,
so it's very handy for cooking.
[04:18] Britta
C-Cooking fish?!
[04:20] Karla
Remove fish scales?
[04:21] Mitsuha
Hmm? Is something weird?
[04:25] Mitsuha
That's a high-brightness flashlight.
[04:28] Mitsuha
A useful pole that extends and retracts.
[04:32] Mitsuha
Superglue to stick things
together in a flash!
[04:37] Mitsuha
It didn't work! They don't seem
like they'll buy anything!
[04:44] Anke
Hair cleanse elixir?
[04:46] Mitsuha
Yes!
[04:47] Mitsuha
It's a magic elixir that cleans your hair
and hydrates damaged hair!
[04:52] Mitsuha
Soap does exist in this world,
and it's used to wash hair.
[04:58] Mitsuha
But it's expensive, runs out quickly,
and isn't cost-effective or high-quality.
[05:02] Mitsuha
In contrast, this two-in-one shampoo...
[05:06] Mitsuha
can be used dozens of times with one bottle!
[05:08] Mitsuha
A bargain item that keeps your hair
beautifully glossy and smooth!
[05:13] Britta
Did you say dozens of times?!
[05:15] Anke
Glossy...
[05:16] Karla
Smooth...
[05:17] Mitsuha
Yes! I'd stake this store's reputation on it!
[05:20] Anke
Eight silver...
[05:22] Anke
Hmm, that's asking a bit too much...
[05:24] Britta
No way!
[05:25] Karla
Yep...
[05:28] Mitsuha
I mean, I know eight silver is no small
amount for a commoner to spend,
[05:33] Mitsuha
but you'd know if you tried it! If only...
[05:36] Mitsuha
Please wait!
[05:37] Mitsuha
Would one of you like to try
a complimentary sample?
[05:40] Anke
Huh? For free?
[05:42] Karla
Hmm, but I'm pretty hungry now.
[05:45] Britta
We agreed to go and get
some good food today!
[05:49] Anke
Yeah!
[05:49] Mitsuha
Ah! I'd finally gotten customers!
[05:51] Mitsuha
My very first customers!
[05:54] Mitsuha
It might be the end for me if I let them go!
[05:58] Mitsuha
They mustn't leave! They mustn't leave!
[06:00] Mitsuha
They mustn't...
[06:01] Mitsuha
I-I know!
[06:02] Mitsuha
I'll get you some good food! So please!
[06:05] Britta
Huh? I thought this was a general store.
[06:08] Mitsuha
It's a special promotion
for our grand opening!
[06:10] Mitsuha
For free! On the house!
[06:12] Mitsuha
I can guarantee its taste!
[06:14] Mitsuha
It'll be better than any
restaurant in the city!
[06:17] Mitsuha
So please try a sample!
[06:25] Anke
Sure. We'll leave it to you, then.
[06:28] Mitsuha
Thank you so much...
[06:33] Anke
Wh-What's this?!
[06:34] Anke
A thin jet of... hot water is coming out!
[06:37] Karla
A magic wand from which
hot water springs forth...
[06:40] Britta
Hey, are you all right, Anke?!
[06:45] Anke
Yeah. It feels pretty good!
[06:50] Mitsuha
Okay, now get a good taste of this!
[06:53] Mitsuha
The power of magic hair cleanse elixir,
that is, two-in-one shampoo!
[07:01] Mitsuha
Huh?
[07:07] Mitsuha
It... it's not lathering up at all!
[07:14] Mitsuha
There we go!
[07:18] Mitsuha
I'm sorry. Usually you only need one pump,
but I ended up using three.
[07:23] Mitsuha
It seems there was
an awful lot of dirt there...
[07:25] Anke
Am I... dirty?
[07:27] Mitsuha
Ah, I'm so sorry!
[07:29] Mitsuha
I treated a customer like she was filthy...
[07:32] Mitsuha
As an apology, I'll add
on a sample of body wash...
[07:34] Mitsuha
I mean, body cleanse elixir!
[07:37] Anke
Wow! This feels really good, as well!
[07:40] Group
It smells nice...
[07:42] Mitsuha
Costs just eight silver!
[07:44] Anke
What's this? It's so warm!
[07:47] Karla
A magic mallet that creates hot wind...
[07:50] Anke
Wow! This is so amazing!
[07:54] Britta
H-Her hair really is glossy and smooth!
[07:56] Karla
That magic elixir really is magic!
[07:59] Anke
I want the hair cleanse elixir for sure...
[08:01] Anke
But I want the body cleanse elixir, as well!
[08:03] Britta&Karla
Me, too!
[08:04] Anke
They're eight silver each...
So 16 silver for both?
[08:07] Anke
But I only have 12 silver on me...
[08:09] Karla
I have nine silver...
[08:10] Britta
I've got 10 silver.
[08:12] Mitsuha
Then why don't you each contribute eight silver,
[08:14] Mitsuha
purchase one bottle each of hair
cleanse and body cleanse elixir,
[08:18] Mitsuha
and share them among the three of you?
[08:21] Anke
Huh? Isn't that eight silver too many?
[08:26] Mitsuha
All of these are eight silver apiece!
[08:30] Mitsuha
It looks great on you.
[08:32] Britta
I'll take it!
[08:34] Mitsuha
Thank you very much for your purchase!
[08:38] Mitsuha
Shall we eat now, then?
[08:46] Anke
Wh-What's that?
[08:48] Britta
There's a fire without any firewood...
SIGN Cooking
for Witches
[08:51] Karla
Magic elixirs, magic wands,
mallets, and a magic oven...
[08:55] Karla
A witch?
[08:56] Britta
Hey! Don't say weird things like that!
[08:59] Mitsuha
Thanks for waiting!
[09:01] Mitsuha
First up is minestrone... Ah, some soup.
[09:04] Anke
Huh? Y-You just started cooking!
[09:08] Britta
Is this fully cooked?
[09:10] Mitsuha
Of course!
[09:19] Anke
D-Delicious!
[09:21] Karla
It's got a strong flavor with depth to it!
[09:24] Britta
Frankly, it's way better
than the meals back at the manor!
[09:28] Group
Mm-hmm!
[09:31] Group
What's in this?
[09:32] Mitsuha
Okay, they liked it!
SIGN Delicious, full of veggies
Minestrone
A robust soup slowly simmered with care
1 portion (150g)
[09:36] Mitsuha
Okay, next up is buri daikon.
[09:39] Mitsuha
Also in a retort pouch.
[09:41] Mitsuha
Flavor absorbed into every bite!
[09:43] Mitsuha
This is a dish made using fish.
[09:45] Group
What?!
[09:45] Anke
F-Fish?
[09:47] Anke
Hmm? What's wrong with fish?
[09:50] Britta
N-No, it's nothing!
[09:52] Britta
Really, it's nothing!
[09:55] Mitsuha
Huh? What's with their reaction to fish?
[09:59] Mitsuha
Is it taboo or something? Did I screw up?
[10:03] Mitsuha
No, they're eating it just fine.
[10:06] Mitsuha
Well, whatever.
[10:08] Mitsuha
Let's keep going! Next!
[10:10] Mitsuha
This is a risotto made with grains.
[10:14] Karla
Am I just imagining things, or...
[10:16] Karla
are all of these dishes
coming from the same pot?
[10:21] Britta
Ah, don't say that!
[10:22] Britta
I was trying to ignore it!
[10:24] Karla
I-I'm sure it's fine... probably!
SIGN Buri
Daikon
[10:30] Mitsuha
This is roast beef.
[10:31] Karla
What in the world?!
[10:34] Mitsuha
This is beef simmered in soy sauce.
[10:36] Britta
I-I don't believe it!
[10:38] Mitsuha
This is beef stew.
[10:40] Anke
Sho good... It's all so good!
[10:43] Mitsuha
And ice cream for your dessert.
[10:46] Group
I've never had anything like this!
[10:49] Mitsuha
And finally, some amazake as a warm drink.
[10:55] Mitsuha
Did you enjoy your meal?
[10:57] Anke
Y-Yeah!
[10:58] Anke
All of it was something new
I'd never tried before, and...
[11:03] Karla
That pot—
[11:04] Britta
All of it was delicious!
[11:05] Britta
Thank you so much!
[11:08] Mitsuha
It worked out...
[11:12] Mitsuha
If you'd like, please accept this as
a souvenir to share with your colleagues.
[11:16] Mitsuha
Oh, make sure to take
the wrapper off before you eat them.
[11:19] Mitsuha
Thank you very much!
[11:28] Mitsuha
I did it!
[11:29] Mitsuha
My first sale to my first customers!
[11:32] Mitsuha
I splurged quite a bit,
but still plenty of profit!
[11:36] Mitsuha
If those three spread the word,
I might see a rush of new customers!
[11:41] Mitsuha
Ah, but then things might get too hectic!
[11:43] Mitsuha
I won't have time for bathroom breaks!
[11:46] Mitsuha
What will I do?
[11:52] Anke
What should we do?
[12:02] Britta
We should do as she said,
and share them with our colleagues!
[12:06] Anke
Eh, then...
[12:08] Britta
I-In all the stories, things never end well
when you don't do as you're told!
[12:12] Britta
We'll give them to the head chef, Marcel!
[12:18] Group
Marcel!
[12:19] Karla
Here.
[12:22] Marcel
What's this? Some kind of food?
[12:25] Karla
A witc—stranger gave them
to us as a souvenir.
[12:29] Britta
She said to take the wrapper off
before you eat one!
[12:32] Marcel
What?
[12:39] Marcel
It's got a vaguely sweet, rich aroma...
[12:48] Britta
M-Marcel?! Are you ok—
[12:50] Marcel
Delicious!
[12:52] Matthias
Satisfyingly crunchy!
[12:54] Marcel
A toasty flavor!
[12:55] Marcel
Indescribably sweet!
[12:57] Marcel
And its depth!
[12:59] Marcel
What the heck is this?!
[13:01] Marcel
Hey! Just where'd you get your hands on...
[13:02] Amalia
You there.
[13:04] Amalia
What's all the commotion?
[13:06] Marcel
M-My lady.

[13:19] Amalia
And so she gave you these.
[13:21] Anke
Y-Yes...
[13:23] Amalia
What do you make of this, my dear?
[13:25] Matthias
Hmm. A witch, you say...
[13:27] Anke
I'm sure she's a friendly witch!
[13:32] Amalia
A magic elixir...
[13:35] Amalia
Let me use some of this.
[13:37] Anke
Huh?
[13:38] Amalia
If it's money, I can pay a measly 16 silver!
[13:42] Amalia
I'll return it to you
after I've tried it once.
[13:45] Anke
Please, help yourself.
[13:47] Amalia
Very well.
[13:49] Amalia
Furthermore, Britta...
[13:50] Amalia
that brooch of yours...
[13:52] Britta
Ah, yes.
[13:53] Britta
We also bought this for eight silver.
[13:56] Amalia
What?!
[13:57] Amalia
How could such a splendid
brooch cost just eight silver?!
[14:00] Britta
You see, these aren't real
gemstones as you might think,
[14:04] Britta
and in fact happen to be man-made...
[14:06] Amalia
You're saying these are imitations?!
[14:08] Karla
Making them with magic
requires zero investment...
[14:10] Marcel
That aside, is it true you were
served a dish made using fish?
[14:15] Marcel
Not dried, smoked, or salted?
[14:18] Britta
Yes.
[14:19] Britta
As a child, I tried fish once
at a seaside village.
[14:23] Britta
There's no mistaking it.
[14:25] Anke
All the other dishes
were just so scrumptious, as well!
[14:28] Matthias
Quite frankly, it sounds preposterous.
[14:31] Matthias
It's 10 days by wagon from a seaside
fishing village to the royal capital.
[14:35] Matthias
A stagecoach would still take seven days.
[14:37] Matthias
Even a bespoke carriage running nonstop
day and night, swapping horses and drivers,
[14:42] Matthias
would still take three days.
[14:44] Matthias
Besides, if you transported them that way,
[14:46] Matthias
a single fish would fetch
more than a small gold coin.
[14:49] Matthias
And that's still only possible in the
winter, making use of snow and ice.
[14:55] Matthias
It's simply impossible at this time of year.
[14:57] Marcel
It wouldn't work even if you stewed
the fish and reheated it periodically.
[15:02] Marcel
Not only would it take too much time,
[15:03] Marcel
it'd be unfit to be served
after simmering for so long.
[15:07] Matthias
It seems no amount of pondering
will lead us to a solution.
[15:11] Marcel
However, my lord, if we can get our hands
on novel ingredients or cooking methods...
[15:17] Matthias
Yes. Perhaps she might be of assistance.
[15:20] Matthias
Look into it, Marcel.
[15:22] Marcel
Yes. Please leave it to me.
[15:28] Mitsuha
Welcome!
[15:30] Mitsuha
Please feel free to take a basket.
[15:32] Marcel
Hm? Sure...
[15:35] Mitsuha
Okay! I've just opened,
and already a customer!
[15:38] Mitsuha
Things are starting to look up!
[15:42] Mitsuha
He's looking at the fish scaler, as well.
[15:44] Mitsuha
Is there something there after all?
[15:46] Marcel
This is...
[15:48] Mitsuha
Oh! He's taken notice of the knife!
[15:51] Mitsuha
I put that there to say,
[15:52] Mitsuha
"This shop has high-end
products in stock, too!
[15:54] Mitsuha
Behold the technical prowess on display!"
[15:58] Mitsuha
Wait, you're buying it?!
[16:01] Mitsuha
What a shocker.
Guess its quality shines through.
[16:06] Mitsuha
Thank you for your purchase!
[16:08] Mitsuha
Mostly cooking related, huh?
[16:10] Mitsuha
I bet this person's a chef.
[16:13] Marcel
Excuse me, but could you confirm
the price before I buy these?
[16:16] Mitsuha
Yes, of course!
[16:18] Marcel
That "fish scaler", was it?
[16:21] Marcel
Why are you selling something like that?
[16:23] Mitsuha
Huh? It's just a handy item.
[16:25] Mitsuha
I thought I could sell them to housewives
who are good at cooking fish...
[16:30] Marcel
Come now!
[16:31] Marcel
There's no way you can get your hands on
fresh fish that need scaling in this town!
[16:36] Marcel
Do you know just how far
we are from the sea?!
[16:38] Mitsuha
Ah!
[16:40] Mitsuha
That's right! No wonder
everyone reacted that way!
[16:43] Mitsuha
Oh, no! I stocked the wrong item!
[16:46] Marcel
Also, if you could tell me how to use these.
[16:49] Mitsuha
Oh, sure.
[16:51] Mitsuha
This is a peeler.
[16:52] Mitsuha
Even a complete novice can use this
[16:54] Mitsuha
to perfectly peel vegetables
at veteran speeds.
[16:57] Mitsuha
An underhanded tool
to undermine expert chefs.
[17:00] Marcel
Wha?!
[17:01] Mitsuha
This is an hourglass.
[17:03] Mitsuha
The sand falls below and always
runs out in the same span of time.
[17:07] Mitsuha
It's a handy tool for precisely
measuring boiling times and the like.
[17:11] Mitsuha
This is a can opener.
[17:12] Mitsuha
You use it to open cans that preserve
foods as-is for years on end...
[17:17] Mitsuha
Are you all right?
[17:18] Marcel
Y-Yes...
[17:20] Marcel
Then please tell me one more thing.
[17:22] Marcel
Why is this so expensive?
[17:25] Mitsuha
Hmph!
[17:26] Mitsuha
That's because this is no mere plaything,
made by pouring iron into a mold!
[17:32] Mitsuha
Forged from carefully chosen steel,
the finest of all materials,
[17:35] Mitsuha
by an artisan who's devoted
decades to crafting knives!
[17:38] Mitsuha
Created by a veritable ogre of steel,
it's practical, yet also a work of art!
[17:43] Mitsuha
A supreme blade!
[17:45] Marcel
A-An ogre of steel?!
[17:47] Mitsuha
Take a closer look.
[17:48] Mitsuha
Folded over and over at high temperatures,
[17:50] Mitsuha
hard steel and soft steel hammered
together with forge welding!
[17:53] Mitsuha
With both a sharp edge and strong durability,
[17:57] Mitsuha
a miraculous work of the gods!
[17:59] Mitsuha
To be honest, even if I sell this,
I make zero profit.
[18:03] Marcel
No profit? Then, why?!
[18:07] Mitsuha
Seeing that the finest products
are delivered from artisan to chef...
[18:12] Mitsuha
that is a merchant's calling.
[18:15] Mitsuha
Any cheaper, and artisans
can't make a living...
[18:18] Mitsuha
Any pricier, and chefs can't afford them...
[18:21] Mitsuha
In that case, I don't see a problem
with incurring a slight expense myself.
[18:27] Marcel
I...
[18:28] Marcel
I'll take it!
[18:29] Mitsuha
You're too kind!
[18:36] Marcel
By the way, missy, if I could
have a word with the manager...
[18:40] Mitsuha
Ah, sure thing.
[18:42] Mitsuha
Please feel free to ask anything.
[18:43] Marcel
Huh?
[18:45] Mitsuha
I bought this store, renovated it,
and stock its goods.
[18:49] Mitsuha
In other words, I'm the owner and manager.
[18:52] Marcel
Eh?
[18:56] Marcel
Then, let me ask you.
[18:58] Marcel
Is it possible to buy
fresh fish at this store?
[19:03] Mitsuha
So that's his real business with me?
[19:05] Mitsuha
Where'd you hear that?
[19:06] Marcel
From Anke and the others.
[19:09] Mitsuha
Who's that?
[19:10] Marcel
I believe there were three
girls who visited yesterday.
[19:14] Mitsuha
Ah!
[19:15] Mitsuha
Those three really did
spread the word! Thank you!
[19:19] Mitsuha
They were our first customers,
so I really overdid it with the freebies.
[19:24] Mitsuha
I'm really in the red now!
[19:27] Mitsuha
So why fish?
[19:28] Mitsuha
From what you said, it seems the people
in this town don't eat fish very often.
[19:37] Marcel
My name is Marcel.
[19:38] Marcel
I serve as the chef for
the house of Viscount Reiner.
[19:40] Marcel
The previous head chef fell ill,
so I was suddenly asked to take over.
[19:47] Marcel
For some time, I managed
to smoothly run the kitchen...
[19:51] Mitsuha
Was there some sort of problem?
[19:53] Marcel
Yes.
[19:55] Marcel
It concerns the catering
for Miss Adelaide's debutante ball.
[20:00] Mitsuha
Debutante ball?
[20:02] Marcel
Aristocratic women make their debut
into society when they turn 15.
[20:07] Marcel
It's a party to celebrate this coming of age
and serve as an unveiling.
[20:11] Marcel
You could even say a debutante ball
[20:15] Marcel
decides one's place
and future in high society.
[20:19] Marcel
Fumble it, and you'll be met with snide
remarks and talking behind your back.
[20:24] Marcel
Which is why noble houses spare no expense
in matters such as the catering and dress.
[20:29] Marcel
What would amount to
a fortune for a commoner...
[20:31] Marcel
ends up being spent for a single night.
[20:34] Mitsuha
Whoa!
[20:36] Marcel
Viscount Reiner's family is new
aristocracy in its second generation,
[20:40] Marcel
and they're not regarded highly
by other nobles as is...
[20:44] Marcel
We cannot allow failure
or incompetence at the debutante ball!
[20:49] Marcel
Yet I lack confidence.
[20:52] Marcel
I have little experience
with parties at such a scale.
[20:56] Marcel
And up against chefs serving major
noble houses and the royal palace...
[21:02] Marcel
I fear I'll embarrass my lord
and his daughter.
[21:08] Marcel
Ashamed as I am, it scares me so.
[21:12] Mitsuha
So you wanted to astound everyone
with a dish made with fish?
[21:20] Mitsuha
Hmm...
[21:22] Mitsuha
Should I just sell him
some fish and call it quits?
[21:27] Mitsuha
I'd make money and help him out,
which is a win all around...
[21:32] Mitsuha
But what is this feeling I'm getting?
[21:36] Mitsuha
This sounds like a fun project!
[21:39] Mitsuha
In fact, we happen to run a broad service
for dealing with such problems.
[21:45] Mitsuha
From relationship advice
to land administration,
[21:48] Mitsuha
General Store Mitsuha
is available for consultation!
[21:51] Mitsuha
Fees subject to negotiation!
