The myth of Anatasia of Russia was always a interesting part of history, but I never though I would encounter it in economy class...

I really like this development! It seemed like the story had completely stopped having any aspect of her personally doing trades (which to me was the most interesting part), so it's neat that we get this nation-level intrigue with the lost treasure now

[Desuka]

There it is, Russian collusion!

 

[cryum]

If the enemy is the government, Runa is paralyzed. No matter how much she's done for japan, declaring war on russia would drag japan into it, and she'd find herself cut off.

Security chief is telling her to back off before she makes this an international incident.

thanks for the translation!

At least it can be a reassurance that Japanese government has an interest in her and is willing to put themselves between Runa and Russia, and with means and options she didn’t possess as a civilian. .

Although... the old saying, there’s no free lunch.

pUTIN!!!!!!!

The year is still 1998 in this chapter. The Russian president is still Yeltsin.
But at some point in that year, Putin is the director of FSB. So yeah, maybe just maybe he is the one.

Real shit get real

Japan has a vested interest in keeping that money in japan. So it's a matter of them resolving the russia thing as a non-royal entity, or stall things long enough that it becomes more expensive than the expected gains.

And frankly, if this costs Runa straight cash, she probably won't be complaining.

 

[ciera]

Thank you for the scanlation

 

[zeinzki]

well, Japan has no other option other than defend to begin with.

"her assets somehow enough to protect Japan economy" is more than enough reason why it dangerous if other Country gaining it, weither if it true or not in their eyes. in the midst of drought, any source of water is source of war.

The issue is, the money ISN'T in Japan. It's scattered all around, but a large amount of it is in America, and vast majority in USD.

But they don't know that yet. That's the real danger. The moment they fully grasp what she's doing/done, they can regulate her out of business, or cut her off from her bank accounts and give her no choice but to flee the country.

Secrecy is of utmost importance to Runa. Nobody knows where that money has come from. It came from an estate legally owned by her biological family in Japan, not by Runa herself who is still a minor. There's a very real threat of her family outright stealing all her money.

And that's exactly what's happening on her Russian side. They (falsely) believe she still possesses the Romanov fortune. But-

Spoiler

The Russian Government simply want the money back, as in they want the rest of the Romanov assets they stole. However, there are also aristocratic loyalists who want to put Runa on the vacant Russian throne. That missing fortune represents her legitimacy. Those loyalists run deep on all sides.

Runa desperately needs political (politician) allies. And that's going to mean making some very ugly decisions.

Not really interesting fact. No one in Russia know about this Anastasia without google-fu. It is not in history textbooks in school program and no one really interested in matter.
So well, every time Anastasia appeared in some stoty, all my familiar people have reaction "who the hell is it"

It's partially mitigated if Runa only makes big purchases for stuff in japan, right? If, say, she buys an entire nuclear power plant, doing it in USD doesn't change it being a massive investment back into japan.

anyways we have come a long way from "get out of poverty" to "multinational conspiracy over 100 years old being applied to one kid"

kinda hard to imagine there are still so many loyalists after 7 decades of soviet rule
