Establishing the Company
The next day.
Maryne visited the Merchants' Guild.
She submitted an application to establish a company.
The application was accepted immediately.
The company’s name was [Maryne Company].
Naturally, Maryne herself was the head.
“I’m going to grow this company into something big!”
Maryne declared enthusiastically.

The following day.
Maryne asked Yumia:
“Miss Yumia. Can you read?”
Literacy rates were low in this world.
More people couldn’t read than could, so she decided to confirm just in case.
“Yes. I can.”
Yumia answered.
It seemed she could read.
Maryne decided to move on to the main topic.
“Then, please take this.”
She handed over three documents.
“What are these?”
“They are business plans.”
“… Business plans?”
Yumia tilted her head.
A business plan…
A document outlining how a business would be run, but…
it wasn’t something common in this world.
“They detail the business I intend to carry out. Please review them.”
“O-okay…”
Yumia gave a vague reply.
For now, she started reading through the contents.
“Th-this is…!?”
Almost immediately, Yumia was stunned.
Store location conditions. Target customer selection.
Procurement routes. Cost calculations. Staffing plans. Sales targets…
Everything was written out in meticulous detail.
“Did you… write all of this yourself, Lady Maryne!?”
“Of course.”
Maryne answered without hesitation.
She didn’t look like she was lying.
(An eight-year-old… wrote something like this…?)
At this point, Yumia could no longer see Maryne as just a child.
“Please proceed with preparations for opening based on this business plan. I will practice producing large quantities of macarons.”
“U-understood!”
Clutching the business plans, Yumia ran off.
Securing a property.
Hiring employees.
Arranging the interior.
Procuring equipment.
Following the plan, Yumia steadily pushed preparations forward.
Meanwhile, Maryne began practicing mass production of macarons in the mansion kitchen.
She pictured the recipe in her mind, cutting down intermediate steps.
Using Production Magic, she adjusted things so that finished products would be created directly from the raw materials.
Thanks to this training, she eventually became able to produce 200 macarons in a single day.
And once preparations were complete…
At last, the day of the grand opening arrived.
