-------------------------------------------------------
Reincarnation, Business, and Fluff
Tachibana Haruka’s mother ran a small company.
It was a business that sold daily goods and cosmetics.
Her mother would often say:
“Business is a job that makes people smile.”
Haruka loved those words.
She loved her mother’s company too.
But her mother fell ill.
The company went bankrupt.
Left behind, Haruka threw herself into studying business and marketing, determined to one day carry on her mother’s will and start her own company.
At the same time, she liked games, so she would play open-world RPGs to unwind.
But one day…
She was hit by a truck.
She died before she even felt any pain.
And then…
Before she knew it, she had been reincarnated into another world.
March.
Spring.
Early morning.
A noble family’s mansion.
Soft morning sunlight streamed into Maryne’s private room.
On top of a canopy bed, Maryne woke up.
Maryne Flamsteed.
Height: 132 centimeters.
Red hair.
Green eyes.
The daughter born into the Flamsteed family was eight years old this year.
She squirmed and pushed herself upright on the bed.
Then, from the edge of the bed, a single curled-up cat looked up at her.
A cat…
No.
A monster of the feline type.
Its name was Firuru.
Its entire body was covered in fluffy brown fur.
It was the first familiar Maryne had tamed.
“Meow.”
Firuru let out a meow.
Maryne’s eyes sparkled.
“Firuru!! Good morning!!”
Fwoof.
She scooped Firuru up.
And buried her face in it.
“Haaah~~!! So fluffy!!”
She rubbed her cheeks against its soft fur.
Fluffy.
Fluffy fluff.
“Meow.”
Firuru didn’t resist, just let it happen.
After being fluffed like this for years, it had completely gotten used to it.
“Morning fluff is the best…! I can work hard all day today!”
With a beaming smile, Maryne hugged Firuru tight.
But this wasn’t the time to relax.
Maryne jumped down from the bed.
As she fixed her red hair in front of the mirror, calculations had already started running through her head.
(Alright, starting today, I’m making my move.)
Maryne glanced out the window.
The view from the mansion.
A lush green garden, and beyond it, the cityscape of the domain’s capital.
… An open-world game-like isekai.
It was a world based on the open-world RPG she used to play in her previous life while working toward starting her own business.
However, 1,400 years had passed since the game’s era.
Even after 1,400 years, the level of civilization remained about that of medieval Europe, but…
Countries and place names had changed quite a bit.
There were even items she had never seen before.
“……”
It had been eight years since Haruka was reincarnated into this world as Maryne.
She had only regained her memories of her previous life half a year ago.
Since then, Maryne had been preparing.
Refining her production magic.
Reviewing her business knowledge.
Researching the market of this world.
And now…
The time to act had finally come.
(To survive in this other world, what I need is money.)
In fact, Maryne’s parents were already dead.
They had passed away, leaving behind eight-year-old Maryne.
Because of that, this once-prestigious magical household was now on the brink of collapse.
Restoring the family’s finances…
And ensuring she could go on living…
To achieve both, Maryne needed to earn money.
(That’s why I’m going to start a business in this world.)
Money didn’t just save yourself.
It could save others too.
Business is a job that makes customers smile…
Maryne had never forgotten the creed her mother spoke in her previous life.
(With the products I create, I’ll make lots of customers smile!)
Maryne nodded firmly, and immediately set into action.
