I was just at the duchy castle, as the esteedorandfather and Tisrad-oniisa to be his medic for when his physical condition deteriorates

Even though the royal capital is quite far, it's only going to take a few days to go there with the airship

Moreover, Satou-san should be attending the kingdo time

I heard such voice fro to have any work until afternoon today, there shouldn't be any particular probleized forwith viscount Shio to the royal capital He's busy like usual

Since I can't go back just like that, I' to visit the annex where Toruma-ojisama resides He's said that it's okay for me to visit anytime, and I've asked the maid to pre-announce my visit, so it shouldn't be inconvenient for his family

"Heya, Sera It's rare for you to visit us"

"Excusesilence Toru sad that doesn't suit the cheerful toruma-oji

"Sera, won't you call me Toruma-niichan like you did in the old days?"

"Ara, Oji-sama Isn't it rude to call a married ?　Toruma-ojisama"

"Kukuku, Se, Sera-saed to his wife, Hayuna-sa while clinging to oba-sama

"Satou-san had gone to the duke castle Apparently, he was looking for red pickles, so he was going to ask the chef-san at the castle about it"

Chefs at the castle! Then, we've passed with each other haven't we

I was able to quickly leave since Hayuna-sa the talk for it As expected of Toru to stop it dead at its track

◇

"I, if it isn't, Sera-sama What would be your business in this place where lower-class people work?"

A lot of people are working busily in the castle's kitchen that I've visited for the first tie of this kitchen, but Satou-san doesn't see ta' the don after he heard about the pickles there"

This time it's the don! Mou, Satou-san is h I went to the don I couldn't concentrate during the practice that day, and got scolded many times by the head miko-sama

"Sera, you see"

"Sera, uys, call Sera-sama with Miko-sa towith the wives after the food distribution was over The official of goddess Forina as there scolded the children for not using honorifics to call s toward such little children

"What is ht with the children's I' Satou-san It seems that it's easier to talk with the children if I do this I feel that the distance between e on consolation visit has decreased after I started doing this

"Umm, ummm"

"Masita is, Nana's masita"

The Nana that I knows is Satou-san's attendant Come to thinke of it, didn't Nana-san call Satou-san with master?　Moreover, I remember that Nana-san often carried these children on her arms

"Have you perhaps seen Satou-san?"

"Satou?"

"What I saas Nana'sto follow the children for the chance The official of goddess Forina didn't look too happy, but I uards follow me

The children lead me by hand to the street that's left with very few people after themarket is over

"Hey, masita is?"
