Seeether to deal with the re noblefrom the son of baronet Poton after they had been arrested

They sure work fast, it's not even been teeks since then

"The duke hi for infordo evasive, I waited until he talked He hesitated to say, "It was an accident without a doubt", that the ship which the arsonist noble had ridden was attacked by large herd of monsters and sunk Moreover, the monsters ate not only the problematic arsonist noble and his party, but even all the soldiers who had accompanied them

I see I should disest it normally, it must be that et rid of theh, I won't mind even if I have to keep silent, since the arsonist noble brought it to himself Therefore, I only answered with, "It can't be helped since it's an accident"

I added a smile to appeal that I believed him, but marquis Lloyd's face was pale Why? He seeht be tired since his worries pile up

Marquis Lloyd proposed to give several y for this incident That's really too much, and I won't be able to handle theently decline it

And then, he also recoena city which is a trade port located on the great river whose viceroy is going to be replaced next year, but I decline it of course Soive that to people who love their social positions

Afterwards, he tries to give things like jewelries, and e as expected--to me, but since none fancy me, I continue to decline, and in the end, he asks if I want to become an adopted son of his faction viscounts who don't have a successor

It appear that he was trying to giveso that I would not speak, so I asked that if possible, I would like to borrow his treasured htly bad when I looked at marquis Lloyd's face who looked really relieved I don't particularly need a gift or an apology, but I'd accept it if he's glad with it

There are a lot of people aic, so their archive is full of earth ic books

It would be bad if I took the treasured books by estion of the old man butler's recoic skill, it's probably the most suitable He's picked about 10 books, and I borrow the fivefive books when I come back to return this set Since there was a ed on the archive wall, I took a photograph of it without perht ti to leave after I had borrowed the books

I only realized that I could have treated the tired marquis Lloyd with his favorite teotten out of hiswith Sera, but she was currently training in Tenion temple

I didn't want to be a nuisance, so I didn't approach Tenion temple, and went to the don I looked for soy sauced pickles a of the stalls, but I couldn't find it

When I went to a certain shop that was said to sell red pickles, it turned out to be red turnip pickles It seeo with rice, but it's not it

"Masita?"

"Masita, no?"

I was called so from below, I looked down

Oh, the brother and sister sea lion children who got along ith Nana huh They look around restlessly while sniffing with their noses It's cute that they can't say 'master' properly

"Where is Nana?"

"Nana not here?"

They shake their bodies aroundfor Nana

However, I don't think you'd find Nana even if you roll up my trousers' cuffs

Nana seems to be quite attached to these two I pro when I cos of baked sweets that were reserved for Nana to the two I see the two children off while they're saying thank you by nodding their heads

"Young master, won't you buy some pickles?"

"Oo, aunty You also have a stall open huh"

The one who's called me out is the mother of Futsuna, the spell-user, whose place I've stayed on last night She's selling pickles ourds soaked with soy sauce and mirin They're quite delicious, or rather, aren't these taste of soy sauced pickles?　It's a bit too sour, but it should have tasted like this

It seeht this recipe to Futsuna's mother is one of the prostitutes onee-san who has participated in the drinking bout last night

She was selling normal pickles up until then, but her sales improved when she started to sell these Kuhanou pickles She told me that her profit didn't increase much since the soy sauce and the mirin are expensive, but there weren't any custo, so there probably are so of that day, I earnestly iht Kuhano pickle's recipe to Futsuna's otiation, but she iht ement of her hometown's recipes since she was born in Kuhanou territory Seeinally a recipe for pickle of circle radish that is specialty product of Kuhanou territory Since she murmured, "I want to eat Kuhanou-style pickle", I would buy her soold coins as a thank for teaching me the recipes which made her lose her work tiot to be flooded by the baptis coone with [Self-Healing]

Now then, let's fly to the radish producing area--earl Kuhanou territory during the night!
