9. This is the acquisition of freedom!
The Emperor of the Rosian Empire, Ivan Letty, although domineering, is definitely not foolish. This loli absolutely wouldn’t ignore the troubles that her subordinates seriously brought to her just to argue with me about “cute or not cute,” a vague and sticky issue.
Without much hesitation, I immediately took Nilu downstairs to check the situation of the restaurant set up to disguise the Rosian people’s purpose for coming!
At this moment, the first floor.
Following the Rosian tradition of doing whatever they want with decisive action, Sister Rasputin had long since prepared everything for the opening, with each servant dressed appropriately, even the cashier and chef were arranged. However, on the very first day of their trial operation, some uninvited guests who were not there to eat mixed in with the customers.
I saw that the original customers in the shop had already hurriedly left one after another, and the once decent popularity suddenly turned cold. Letty beside me directly reached under her skirt, seemingly hiding her firearms there, but I managed to stop this dangerous action of hers just in time, and she gradually calmed down while remaining silent.
In a usual situation, Letty would have probably grabbed her firearm and started blasting magic bullets, but this time it wouldn’t work. The arrival of the Rosian Empire here was already a secret, and Letty was even more of a secret within a secret . To hide her identity, Letty couldn’t make too much noise; otherwise, it would lead to endless troubles!
After all, those who came to “make trouble” this time didn’t look like ordinary background thugs at all.
Here’s the translation of the excerpt you provided, with attention to word choice, phrasing, and atmosphere, while preserving the line breaks:
—
“Where’s the person in charge here? What good is it to have a bunch of waiters gathered around? We’re here to talk big business with your BOSS~”
“Hurry up and close the shop. If this deal goes south, the losses are something you can’t afford!”
A number of men in black suits stood around. To Letty and the others, this attire might seem strange, but I had a strong impression of it because I knew better. The black clothes, black pants, black hats, and even sunglasses made them look like members of some underworld gang, a sight I had encountered at the Summit of Nations before.
At the same time, the script appeared!
【Members of the United Kingdom of Meri are here to cause trouble.】
Having once fled in all directions, I didn’t know much about the “United Kingdom of Meri” since I had never been there. I had only heard it was a kingdom known for trade. It was located far away, and the Rosian Empire probably had no grudges against them, yet here they were… with a sarcastic attitude, talking about “business,” clearly looking for trouble!?
“Excuse me, gentlemen.”
Letty couldn’t show herself too casually, so Sister Rasputin took on the role of “manager.” “Our little restaurant has no issues and we have no desire to discuss any business. Also, you standing outside in a row of black suits is disturbing our guests. Could you please leave?”
Sister Rasputin, who was usually tormented by Letty, really held her ground at this critical moment! Seizing the opportunity, I quietly informed Letty of their identities.
“They’re from the United Kingdom of Meri. Do you have any grievances with them?”
“No, but now I do.”
Letty’s eyes glinted with anger, “Just watch me tie them up and throw them into Siberia to become ice sculptures…”
With that, Letty, unwilling to back down, tried to charge forward, but I managed to stop her this time. It wasn’t just me causing trouble; she really couldn’t go over there.
【Letty encounters danger after contacting the Kingdom of Meri!】
The script was so clear. Letty wasn’t my enemy, and if I could help her avoid risk, I certainly would.
“Letty, you can’t just show yourself.”
“But!”
“Let’s see how Sister Rasputin handles this first.”
To prevent Letty from running off in a fit of anger, I held her hand tightly. After stomping her feet in frustration, she had no choice but to endure.
I thought I was doing well, but… this group definitely seemed prepared!
“Are you the manager?”
A few of them sized up Sister Rasputin. “That makes it simple. We’re here to acquire this establishment from you Rosians. Keeping it as a restaurant is a bit of a waste; why not let us put it to better use? How how much money do you Rosians want? Name your price, big sister?”
“!”
Sister Rasputin’s expression soured immediately. I felt she wasn’t angry about the first half of their statement but was completely infuriated by the last word, “big sister.”
“Our restaurant is not for sale. You can go back!”
“We’re not in a hurry; you can think it over.”
Sister Rasputin’s response was already quite clear, yet they still insisted on pestering us. This kind of shameless behavior was easy to explain; the script had already appeared in my mind.
【The United Kingdom of Meri wants to maliciously acquire the hotel!】
This… must be the trouble they came looking for!
I watched as they casually lounged in the chairs, legs crossed, as if they intended to stay right there.

I hope this captures the essence and atmosphere of the original text!
Sure! Here’s the translation of the excerpt you provided, with attention to word choice, phrasing, and atmosphere, while preserving the line breaks:
—
“Since you haven’t decided on a price yet, how about we just come here to sit for a while during the day? This is a restaurant, and you Russians can’t possibly refuse us entry, right?”
The arrogant attitude, combined with the row of “men in black” standing outside, clearly aimed to drive business away, forcing Letty to sell the hotel. Meanwhile, it seemed they had also figured out the Russians’ volatile nature. Just as Sister Rasputin and a few surrounding Russian staff were about to lose their temper, ready to smash a bottle and start a fight, I noticed that the script on my side was indeed taking a dangerous turn!
【The opponent is waiting for the Russians to strike, using it as an excuse to coerce a buyout!】
This was clearly a trap! But while I could see it, Sister Rasputin couldn’t! If they ended up beating the other side senseless, it might feel good in the moment, but the aftermath would definitely be a huge mess! Letty was facing obstacles in the Rodmar Empire, and it seemed that the content of the script was unfolding right here!
【Eugene stands up for Letty, only to be beaten to death by the opposing group!】
The death script appeared as usual, but this time I didn’t care at all! Whether for Kephir’s future script or for Letty’s own troubles, I was very clear about what I needed to do now.
As for the death script? I was the big BOSS now; I wasn’t afraid of a few extras! A BOSS has to act like a BOSS!
“Letty, no matter what I do later, don’t act impulsively, got it?”
I bent down and quietly advised Letty, who hesitated and looked at me.
“Clearly, we could just beat them up and be done with it; we Russians aren’t afraid of trouble!”
“If we can smooth things over and avoid conflict, let’s do that. This is the Rodmar Empire, not our home. For safety’s sake, it’s better to be cautious.”
I patted Letty on the shoulder, “Good girl.”
“…Mm.”
After a moment of hesitation, Letty reluctantly agreed, and I immediately stepped forward, pulling Sister Rasputin, who was about to throw a rising dragon punch, behind me.
“Sorry, gentlemen from the Melly Kingdom, my staff sister here isn’t very articulate~”
The people across from me glanced over, completely treating me as one of the Russians.
“So you’re the BOSS then? Perfect, since you heard the conversation, let’s talk about…”
“Hold on, everyone, I haven’t finished yet. As for the price, well, there’s really no price to discuss.”
Before they could start with their sarcastic remarks, I threw out a “good deal” that left them all looking at each other, bewildered.
“But, would you like to try our profit-sharing plan? Develop a downline, and you could be a manager~”
I heard that the Melly United Kingdom was all about business, but it seemed… it wasn’t quite what I had imagined.
