Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 79: Meeting with a Reincarnation
Rio was heading to Liselotte house by himself.
The house is on a lake-side hill where you can have a clear view over the lake adjacent to Almond, which is located northeast of the city center.
This large house made of wood exudes elegance with a white foundation that is fitting for a noble.
There is a plain geometric style garden scattered around the mansion, complete with towering walls to attach to it.
The environment around the mansion had become a residential area of the rich, the abundance of space around the area overflowing with a sense of freedom.
The contrast between the forest and the mountain floating behind the lake makes for a very beautiful sight, making a walk in the area refreshing.
"It's nice to meet you . My name is Haruto. May I ask if Liselotte Kretia-sama lives in this mansion？ 」
After introducing himself, Rio asked the name of the owner of the mansion to the soldier stationed as the gatekeeper.
「Ha. That's true 」
The young gatekeeper saluted after seeing Rio who was equipped with a one-handed sword and cloth armor, both of them were of excellent quality.
He thought that maybe it was the standard follow-up for a noble.
「Haruto-sama. Please come through here"
And, contrary to his expectations, it seemed that the gatekeeper had already been informed beforehand.
Although the gate guard warrior did a simple body check, he did not keep Rio's sword and invited him to the inner garden.
Rio looked worried that a gunman was invited inside with only a few guard soldiers, but it seemed that some guards were placed in a place that could not be seen by humans.
That might be a measure to remove unwanted guests.
As he shifted his line of sight in the garden, he noticed that there were two maids standing.
After the gate guard soldiers explained the situation to the two maids waiting in the park, he returned to the gate after saluting to Rio.
And then, the young treasurer took over the duty of the gatekeeper to lead Rio.
"It's nice to meet you . Haruto-sama. My name is Cosette, treasurer of this mansion. This one is Chloe, the 」 intern treasurer
「T-Please treat me well!」
The treasurer called Cosette was older than Rio but, she might only be 20 years old.
Her appearance was orderly, she was a beauty who would definitely receive an invitation from a man if she walked in the middle of the city.
Cosette did an introduction with a girl named Chloe and then bowed deeply.
Chloe has a young and cute appearance, she is younger than Rio and her age should be around Latifa and Aki.
「Ya, please treat me well」
Section 2
Rio's line of sight was fixed on Chloe, she immediately replied and shifted her gaze to avoid making me uncomfortable.
Because Chloe had also been looking at her face since a while ago, although it seemed that it was somehow more of a curious look, perhaps because she felt it was a disrespectful way towards the guest, he quickly lowered his head.
「I heard from Aria that you will come visit. I was told that Liselotte-sama wanted to convey her apology on this occasion. Since we have already prepared lunch, please enjoy your time slowly 」
So, Cosette said.
「Although I expected this, meeting with Liselotte-sama as your wish came true, true」
Rio showed a surprised appearance.
"Yes nih . I heard that even the president of the Rikka firm sorority wants to meet with you personally. Please don't force yourself. Because even my master also wants it 」
"Indeed . I agree"
Rio smiled lightly as he expressed his agreement.
Cosette was a little amazed by his composure, and sighed deeply to cover it up.
「Yeah, follow me this way」
Cossete started leading Rio after saying that.
Upon entering the mansion, the bright white color gave a sense of freedom, a simple and beautiful interior design came into his view.
As for Rio, more than the design, the deep feeling on the ornament corresponds to the host's preference.
Thus, he walked while enjoying the interior design of the house with a slanted view.
"Please get through here"
Cosette and Chloe stood quietly in front of a certain room.
They opened the door slowly and then he entered the room.
Inside was a dining room made to eat for a small number of people.
The rooms are not too narrow or too spacious and, with comfortable space as a means for a small number of people, elegant furniture and small items are placed to color the room.
Sure enough, in this place, Liselotte Kretia greeted Rio with an elegant smile.
Aria was waiting right behind him.
「It is with great pleasure to welcome you. Haruto-sama 」
Liselotte was bowing gracefully while clamping the end of her dress.
Although there was still a trace of her childish features, her slightly gentle face was endowed with charm and elegance that could captivate anyone who saw her.
The basic theme of her dress is the dark blue wrapped around her and highlighting her body lines and the neatly arranged artistic balance though slim, it will captivate an experienced man or woman, she said, not even counting the naive [1].
Seeing her figure as a woman in this way, Rio's eyes opened slightly wide.
But, that reason was completely meaningless, as it was a feast for his eyes.
Section 3
（Ah, so so so, as I thought thought thought
Some missing puzzle pieces on his head ended up lying in complete form, a complete image appeared on Rio's head.
Rio had already met this girl on one occasion.
Light blue colored hair was not common even in the Strahl region, endowed with natural beauty from birth, and more than anything else, exuded elegance just by standing there.
A few years ago, in the period of time after he left Bertram kingdom until entering the savage land, the number of people who met Rio was very few in number.
The people who have had a direct conversation with him can be counted.
Therefore, it was impossible for his memory to be wrong.
Liselotte is, the girl who once welcomed her in the store of Rikka company.
Although the reason for her to hang out with the shopkeeper a few years ago was a mystery, contrary to her appearance, she was probably a tomboyish girl who liked to do some jokes.
（It's troublesome）
After coming to this mansion, Rio had already met two people he knew in one place.
He wondered how all this overlapped.
Even though he had some sort of premonition, he felt it was inevitable.
Even Chloe whom she met some time ago showed a sign of having deja vu in seeing Rio's appearance but, it seems like Liselotte is also experiencing the same feeling.
「Uhm, I feel we've met somewhere before?」
Liselotte asked that question while slightly tilting her head.
Even him, it does not mean that he raised the young Rikka company to appear as a first-class company.
Whether as a merchant or as a noble, the skill of memorizing one's face and name was indispensable to them.
Even though he had met many people until now, the names and faces of important people had already been memorized strongly by him.
Although that did not mean that Rio's case was important, from the fact that black hair was an extremely rare case in the Strahl region along with the nurturing of being like royalty, left a deep impression on him.
Therefore, Liselotte looked at Rio face with a curious look as she felt a strong deja vu no more than her hair color change.
If it was an adult man, it would be strange if he suddenly replied 「I've met you before」 when he had never even met her before.
「…. Although if my memory is correct, I think this is the first time I have met you who is the duchess daughter of 」
Rio feigned ignorance while weaving answers at once.
He answered obediently in this field when he recalled the letter he sent to Celia once before as it would most likely turn into a troubling matter even if he were to just refer to this matter.
It might even turn into one if Liselotte remembered later if she said "I never thought that the daughter of a duke was working as a store staff".
「It ..... Definitely it is, right. My deepest apologies for this. Although you may know about this, I am Liselotte Kretia. Serves as president of the law firm of Rikka and governor of Almond prefecture. Please take care of me after this 」
Section 4
She felt out of place but, perhaps because she thought that further investigation might be disrespectful, Liselotte started self-introduction while shaking her head.
「This one is grateful for your courteous greetings. My deepest apologies for the late greeting. This is the first time we met. Liselotte-sama. The one my miss is waiting for is called Haruto. On this occasion, I want to thank my daughter 」
Although appropriate respect was included in his speech, Rio also calmly introduced himself without adding any more than that.
Just like that, after bowing respectfully, Liselotte took a short breath as if admiring her mastery in etiquette.
「Please stop the formality. Because the person in trouble is us. Now, at this moment, I am not acting as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Kretia house, I am standing in this place as president of the Rikka company. A few days ago, we ruined your mood due to our side's incompetence. We offer our deepest apologies for that 」
After Liselotte slowly shook her head, she offered an apology for that one case.
At this moment, he left his position at the Duke Kretia's house and bowed deeply to Rio.
「I give you forgiveness. Because of your help in reconciliation, I received quite a thank you from the Rikka firm. Moreover, making myself accept an apology directly from Liselotte-sama is really painful by my side 」
Rio was an ordinary person, when it came to Liselotte who was someone from the duke of Kretia house, the words he said were absolutely true.
Although it was disrespectful to take a rather arrogant attitude by standing the victim in this place, on the other hand, showing a haughty attitude without thinking anything was simply embarrassing.
Even if he maintains a victim's point of view for self-protection, problems showing maximum respect for the other party's standing not to be treated as a parasite when thinking about their relationship from now on are acceptable [2]
「We are grateful for that. Since we will deeply engrave this in our mind so that this problem will not happen a second time, We will thank you if you keep using our service even after this 」
「The problem I encountered was because of a visitor, I have no problem with your service and I swear that I will use your service again when I come to this city again. 」
「We are really happy that our service satisfied you」
Smiling as if relieved, Liselotte bowed a second time.
「My apology for making you stand so long, by all means, please sit down, we have prepared food to show our apology. 」
After the talk regarding this matter from a few days ago started a flow of conversation after self-introduction calmed down after the right time, Liselotte recommended Rio to sit down.
Cosette who was positioned by her side was already approaching the table and taking out a chair for her.
Rio sat in his chair as he slightly nodded to Liselotte.
In the Strahl region, the meaning of an invitation to a meal coming from a noble is 「Even if it is just a meal, how about it?」, means you accept an invitation to eat.
In this case, the right course of action when it is time to eat when he comes to visit is not to show enough rejection because it is a tacit way to eat to show their gratitude.
Section 5
Doing things like returning and rejecting meal invitations, and not serving food when invited to lunch are impolite acts.
Of course it was a different story if one was told in advance when invited.
Although the commoners did not know about this way, Rio was aware of this as he studied the manners of the nobles when he was in the royal academy.
「I'm absolutely obliged by your conscience. By all means, please accept this as my greeting sign 」
When he said that, Rio took out a small wine barrel and served it to Liselotte.
"That's?"
Liselotte asked about the contents of the barrel as a landlord.
「This is the liquor I have. Although I'm not sure if it suits Liselotte-sama's ceiling, please enjoy it if it's okay with you because it's quite delicious. You can also enjoy it as a liquor after a meal as it is a sweet type of liquor 」
The liquor in the barrel is one of the liquors made by Seirei no Tami.
Since the old dwarf from somewhere passed by in such a large amount that he could not drink it all, there was still a large amount of liquor residing inside Rio's item box.
「Alright, glad then. I also like liquor. I want to know about sweet drinks. I will accept it gratefully 」
Liselotte showed an innocent and sweet smile as she thanked him.
「Because this is so precious, shouldn't we drink it after lunch?」
"Yes nih . Of course we can"
Contrary to his humility a while ago, Rio had absolute confidence in the taste of liquor he gave him.
Because liquor was praised as a very beautiful item by Celia who had knowledge of beautiful items in her position as a noble. Though it was the standard level for liquor made by Seirei no Tami.
But, it was pretty much as bait for Liselotte who had never drank anything other than the liquor made by the human tribe.
And based on the information he had gathered for this purpose earlier, Liselotte was a reasonable person for a noble.
So there is nothing better than making a good impression for the sake of receiving assurance in the effect of the reconciliation contract from the previous case.
Although in reality, it would bring more of his attention if he gave something like miso, soy sauce, or rice, it would be difficult for him to answer even if asked with something like "Which area in the Strahl region is processing this ? ”, And many more shortcomings because it hides information.
「Chloe, may I ask you to set the table for lunch and liquor preapre given by Haruto-sama?」
"Yes nih . Ojou-sama. Sure"
As she replied, Chloe retired for a while while carrying a wine barrel.
Liselotte returned her gaze to Rio.
「I can't help but want to know why I couldn't see the people who came with Haruto-sama in the previous case. Although I would like to express my apology for this inconvenience by meeting them directly, If possible, please convey my apology to them？ 」
Section 6
First was at the wait-and-see level, he was referring to Miharu and co who were not in this place.
「Of course. Since I feel it will be troublesome for the host if we visit with many people, I will convey your words without fail 」
Rio gave his full approval.
「It's okay even if you bring them everything you know?」
Liselotte was staring at Rio face with an expression as if feeling sorry for them.
「Well, they never had the chance to meet someone with a noble title before, that's why they said that something like visiting would make them feel out of place. Because they are also not familiar with the language of this region. They really regret that fact. 」
Rio expressed his apology by bowing while smiling at Liselotte.
「So that's the reason？ Even though when you put it like that, I feel that Haruto-sama face looks somewhat different from the ones common in this area, you are really proficient with the local language as if it is your native language」
There is a standard language to communicate with each country in the Strahl region which then develops into a style for each region.
「That's because I was born in a country around this area」
「Oh dear, so that's the reason. Then, is your hometown acquaintance among the people who are with you？ 」
"Yes nih . Something like that 」
Rio nodded while answering faintly.
And then, at that moment.
「Sorry to make you wait」
Some of the waiters included Chloe who retired before coming while carrying dishes on the dining table.
The first was an appetizer consisting of a salad and terrine along with an alcoholic drink, after setting the table, the two started their lunch.
This drink is frothy wine, it is orthodox one of the sweet taste is rather dry and the alcohol content is low.
After holding the glass legs and toasting each other, they ate salads and terrines while enjoying the taste of alcoholic beverages.
Liselotte sent a look of admiration at the elegant behavior of using a knife and fork to Hors-d'oeuvre. [TL: I actually spent 30 minutes writing "hodobe" from Japanese to Hors-d'oeuvre]
「Uhm, although I am really embarrassed to ask this out of curiosity, Haruto-sama job should be adventurer right？ While it might seem disrespectful for adventurers to say something like this, Haruto-sama showed a polished courtesy to the time that I couldn't think of you as an adventurer 」
Liselotte called Rio's work.
Section 7
In a place like this, the subject of the beautiful way and eating is just a natural groove of conversation, it does not mean doing something like asking about the subject that comes from them is a disrespectful way, it does not mean, liselotte question was still within range of manners.
「Yes, honestly I am not an adventurer」
Rio shook his head while smiling lightly.
「Although it is embarrassing for me to say this, I travel to various places, beaten monsters are sold for their magic stones, I live like a vagabond. Manners is something I learned at educational institutions in certain countries I visited in the past 」
Although he did not say everything, he also put lies in it, so he decided to tell that fact to obscure the information about him.
「Ara, so so. I asked for something personal ……. My deepest apologies 」
「Nothing, already in the past」
Rio smiled lightly with an appearance as if he didn't really care.
「Then, you pause in the middle of your trip in this place?」
「Yes, I am traveling in the territory of Galwark Kingdom, and stopped here in Almond for feeling comfortable living here. 」
"All right, thank you very much . It's my honor to be able to receive such praise 」
Liselotte smiled happily.
But, a shadow immediately covered his expression.
「Recently but, I feel there is a little distraction. The monsters around Almond are more active. Although we did extermination by sending in a group of adventurers periodically until now, the disappearance of the adventurers in that place also increased by 」
Liselotte spoke of the origin of the cause of restlessness around Almond with a grim face.
「Increased monster activity. This is the first time I heard about this 」
Although Rio's residence was in the southwest forest of Almond, he was unable to sense any unusual phenomenon.
From the fact that there was a barrier magic enveloping around the house, normally monsters would not enter without permission, since he came to Almond by flying, he almost never met a monster.
「Yes, the black dragon that was seen before by the public caused panic while hiding in the forest of this area. Even the matter about the increased activity of monsters might be due to their fear of dragons. The cause is currently under investigation 」
"Black dragon?"
Asked Rio in a curious tone.
Liselotte unexpectedly raised the voice of 「Oh my」.
「Could you not know about this？ One black dragon was seen flying in the territory of Galwark kingdom about ten days ago. Although the trail is incomprehensible, because the direction to which it flies is right around the direction to Almond. Since there were no witnesses in the Almond region, the dragon might cause panic around this 」
Section 8
「So, so rumor it」
Liselotte told that information to Rio politely, even Rio slowly accepted the situation.
「Missful person problems started to stand out starting about ten days ago in this place. Although it would not be a problem if it was like a goblin, the report appeared after the figures of orcs and ogres appeared in various places. In addition, it also confirmed the appearance of other types of monsters and magical beasts. Although it has not caused any damage on the highway, if you have the intention to go elsewhere, please hold that plan for the time being 」
Goblin, orc, ogre――, all of them are bipedal monsters of human form.
whether it has some kind of wisdom, even though they are wearing clothes and holding simple weapons, you cannot communicate with them, they are fierce and warlike existences.
Although strictly speaking, the goblins and ogres were considered to be of the demon race, and the orcs were considered to be of the pig race, both of them would conceive their children with the females of the human race as their preference.
Although it was possible for even armed adults to fight if it was only goblins, when it came to orcs and ogres, an amateur was completely no match for them even when they were armed.
「Of course. My deepest thanks for conveying this valuable information to me 」
Rio slightly nodded as he thanked her.
Although such a thing as an unusual phenomenon could not be found in the current residence, if the excessive activity of the monsters became ever increasing, it was probably because they migrated, after he left this place, after he left this place, perhaps it was best for him to do so. conduct a massive hunt of monsters around him.
After she thanked him while thinking about that, Rio tasted the soup and bread that was placed on the table during their conversation.
After finishing the soup, cold white wine was poured into his glass with a very beautiful time.
The cream sauce paste also came immediately, calculated as if fulfilling this time while enjoying the white wine, he enjoyed their pleasant talk for a while.
Immediately the meat dish is brought, having enjoyed it with a special red wine that promotes the taste, in the blink of an eye, the time for dessert and after the liquor arrives.
「There are so many very beautiful dishes. Head chef skills really good 」
"Thank you very much . I will replace the head chef to say thank you 」
After having this kind of conversation, along with the dessert candy, the liquor brought by Rio was placed on the table.
Liselotte sniffed the aroma of the drink entering the glass in an elegant manner.
「It should be a fruit wine. There was a very sweet and gentle smell in it. Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it. Just by this scent, I know how wonderful this drink is 」
He said his impression seemed to be fascinated by the liquor.
When she held the drink after eating in her mouth, it sucked just like that.
「……！」
His eyes are wide open.
His body trembled from too many impressions, and his eyes involuntarily flashed brightly.
He had already drunk liquor before thoroughly enjoying the taste.
Even if she enjoyed the taste, she regretted the fact that she drank it carelessly, she held the liquor in her mouth for the second time.
Since the amount that went into the glass was not much, he carefully enjoyed the taste while rolling it on his tongue.
Section 9
「The strength of alcohol is very deep. However, it came down smoothly like water. This taste rivaled or perhaps even exceeded the best liquor I knew. But, for me to have never heard of this kind of liquor .... 」.
Despite being soaked in flavor after the liquor, after she finally regained her composure, Liselotte coughed a little and said her honest impression.
Although Liselotte had tasted some kind of high grade liquor that had lived so far, the fruit drink she drank now stood above the rest even among the best liquors.
If the level of liquor was, it would not be strange even if the price attached to it reached 10 gold coins when sold to the nobles who liked to drink.
No, if it was put into the auction and added a point in the rare exquisite taste, that price would rise even higher.
In addition, it can be used as a gift for important people and, so many ways raise the price circulating in his head.
But, since the carved seals that told about the factory and the production area were not tied to the wine barrels placed on the table, he felt that was the only problem.
「It was a celebration gift. This is a decent Item presented correctly 」
Rio said that while showing a light smile.
「Uhm, Haruto-sama. Where do you find this kind of liquor？ 」
Although asking questions like these did not violate manners, she felt compelled to ask further questions to start a conversation on this topic.
Liselotte asked that question with her body slightly stretched forward.
「That loud drink is the work of my acquaintances. This is an item that never appears on the market because he hates humans 」
"I saw . Granted, so that's why the carved seals aren't involved on the wine barrels. Is there really no way to introduce us to that person？ 」
「My apology, he didn't expect for it. Things like relationships with humans are what he hates, because he is the type of person who is loyal to the point of hiding in seclusion from humans 」
Thus, Rio said that while slightly shrugging and smiling wryly.
"I saw"
Liselotte face is getting cloudy.
But, even when he said that he wouldn't tell his location, for him to do something like giving up on this kind of liquor was something he couldn't do.
「Then, can't I make a request to Haruto-sama to be the intermediary party to sell this to us level If this is the liquor level, then, 10 Gold coins with agency fees added for the same volume of this wine barrel is the price . Although regarding your portion will be submitted to your decision 」
Therefore in order to find common ground, he tried with the suggestion to offer the plan he made for starters.
Section 10
「Ah, you are right. …… . Although I think it's possible to get his approval, I can't guarantee a constant supply if you're okay with a very small amount for it. Concealment of information should also be included as an absolute requirement of 」
Rio ended just by replying to the affirmation with a low key on a severe condition. [TL: Not sure about this sentence]
He sent a quick glance at Liselotte to gauge her reaction.
"Yes nih . I don't mind even if you can only offer a small amount. By all means, please. We will definitely keep the information a secret, if you can give us your promise not to offer this to the other party, we will give the individual gift as an additional agency gift to Haruto-sama 」
Liselotte has to tie up an exclusive contract, she will even say to pay the money to Rio.
If it was called as expected, or more than what he expected, it seems that he attached a very high evaluation to the value of this liquor.
「Of course. But it will take about a month for me to get the answer, is that okay？ Because for now, I can only deliver this talk 」
Not quick to give his promise, Rio showed his attitude while considering the future matters.
「Yes, we have no problem with that. The problem regarding remuneration and fees, is it okay if we make an official contract contract 」
「Yes, I don't mind. If I report the reply, can I come directly to this place？ 」
「Of course. By all means please. But, although I basically live in Almond, there are many occasions where I go to other cities. In case of my absence, this matter will be dealt with entirely by my treasurer 」
「Understood」
Thus, a temporary negotiation was set between the two of them.
Liselotte smiled in satisfaction and, she poured the drink after eating on her tongue once more.
Rio also brought the tip of the glass to his lips, enjoying the taste of liquor while feeling pleased with the development that was beyond his expectations.
After that, they enjoyed a pleasant chat for almost an hour.
And then, Liselotte suddenly showed an apologetic expression.
「Haruto-sama. I have one last request 」
「What is possible?」
After guessing the change in Liselotte atmosphere, even Rio showed a serious expression.
「The problem of my request is regarding the previous event where Haruto-sama became a victim」
「Is there anything about the event?」
"Yes nih . Did you know that currently the coup is taking place in Bertram kingdom, the country next to our kingdom 」
「..... Yes, I know it」
「Then, this will make this problem faster. Currently, our Galwark kingdom is providing support to the counterrevolutionary army of Bertram kingdom. And then, the nobles who tried to harm Haruto-sama during the previous matter, both of them were the children of the people who stood in the position of the leader of the counter-revolution troops. When I say this a lot, you have to understand what I mean right？ 」
"I saw . Do you want to ask me to reject the reconciliation contract？ 」
Section 11
Rio asked with a smile as if showing his entertainment.
"As if . The contract penalty will be executed on behalf of Rikka's company. Calm down, no. …… This request is not as the president of Rikka company, it is my wish as one of the nobles of this kingdom 」
Liselotte said that while sighing a little.
「The contract of the agreement does not limit Haruto-sama regarding the disclosure of information on the previous issue？ …… And then, when revealing it to others by Haruto-sama's side, it will give Galwark kingdom who supports the counter-revolution troops a little problem 」
「So that happened」
Rio pulled a smile on his face and showed a serious expression again.
He placed his hand on his chin to show that he was thinking about something.
Son The leader's son was thrown into prison for causing a stupid quarrel. It wouldn't seem too pleasant in the eyes of the noble society, right. In short, you want me to also be quiet about the previous thing that was true 」
He asked .
"Yes nih . I'm safe because you caught the story quickly. … . Although we stand as mediators, we feel that doing things like making a request as your counterparty proxy like this is not desirable 」
「Because it makes it difficult for the guards of those people to make contact with my side because of that contract. I understand where this conversation came from. Even I was a little surprised by their levity. I am considering this in my heart 」
Rio showed a wry smile while saying that to her.
Liselotte also smiled wryly as she nodded in agreement.
「If you can grant my request, I don't mind accepting that request for me. I will return the favor as long as it's counter balance with this problem 」
After saying that.
「……. I saw . If I can get my request coming from our side granted, I don't mind even if I grant your request. With this I do not mind receiving debt and this loan agreement 」
After slightly considering the situation, Rio gave his approval with the attached terms.
「And that request is?」
「When the worst situation happens in the future, I want to receive protection to the person I designate. The number of people protected up to 5. The time I want them to receive your protection is when the protection request comes from their guardian, that is me. Do you agree with that? 」
Hearing Rio's words, Liselotte pondered deeply for a moment.
"I saw . May I inquire as to the origin of the person who will come under our protection？ our
Section 12
He asked .
「Five people who came with me at the restaurant. One of them was a foreign noble but, the other four were just commoners 」
Frankly Rio told.
"I saw… . . Noble yes. In short, they have their own circumstances so they must be protected？ 」
Liselotte guessed the reason for that for a while then looked gently with eyes narrowed towards Rio.
"Yes nih . All that time. My deepest pardon, I want to have the privilege of hiding their names. If you like, I don't mind if you prepare a contract to conclude a 」 term and agreement
「Of course. Of course, I want to talk more 」
Although if there were certain circumstances that he wanted to hide, he perfectly understood that he wanted to hide their names in the stage where the contract had not been completed, he was well aware that he wanted to hide their names, and doing something like binding a contract without asking for anything is a reckless act.
Because Liselotte might want to know as much information about him as possible.
And then, the discussion of Rio and Liselotte lasted for more than an hour.
Although the situation was not tense, they negotiated without restraint.
「Fufu, I can spend a really wonderful time today. I can even speak sincerely, I hope that we will be on good terms even after this 」
The contract between them was completely completed.
Although the closing time had arrived when their contract was set, Liselotte sent him off in quite a good mood.
"Yes nih . I am truly grateful to have received the invitation today. Or should I say, Please treat me well from now on 」
Rio also conveyed his gratitude with a smile as if feeling satisfied.
Although he felt that today he might stop just to find out a little bit about her, he was getting more harvest than he expected.
With this, he can ask for the protection of Miharu and co to Liselotte during the worst situation.
"All right then"
「Yes, I will wait for the time when we will meet again」
After shaking hands with each other in front of the mansion, Liselotte witnessed Rio's departure.
「Alright, Natalie」
When Rio's back was already out of sight, Liselotte called out the name of a woman.
"Yes, that"
After which, a treasurer suddenly appeared among the treasurers who saw Rio leave.
Section 13
「Follow him and please collect brief information regarding the people around Haruto-sama」
「Awltified」
Following her master's orders, Natalie quickly headed in which direction Rio went.
「Is really okay to stalk her sc」
Aria who was waiting by his side asked as she looked at the figure of the retreating Natalie who gradually became smaller.
「I just did it today. Especially when it seems like we will meet more often afterwards. There was no need to rush because he was not an adventurer. I quite understand his personality, and I consider this enough for what I can get myself 」
Although he signed a contract to protect commoners and nobles from special circumstances during emergencies.
The biggest crop is high-grade liquor.
As compensation for hiding the detailed information from Celia and her partner, Rio signaled that he would be serving a certain amount of liquor and some other type of liquor that could be sold.
Although Liselotte used to think that it was the highest grade liquor, it was never even in her wildest imagination that there were still some kind of liquor of the same grade [3].
When thinking about the utility value of that liquor, the conditions are very attractive.
In addition, even the liquor marketing agency firmly and firmly requests, for now, even if the agency does not build, if he can be given the entire sale of liquor at regular intervals, for the time being, his balance would be at an end even if he only protected one noble from special circumstances without letting him enter in the spotlight [4].
In reality, although there were still more variations of liquor with spirit liquor included, the laughing Liselotte was oblivious to that fact.
