"This is for you!"

After returning to Japan, I made 18 rice balls in my kitchen. That's enough for six guards to have a snack. Feeding the free guards next to the product store ... Thank you.

Onigiri has been brought before. It was very popular because it was delicious, quick to eat and had a good stomach. ...... Well, no one would complain about the insert brought by the girl next door!

After receiving the rice ball with great pleasure, one of the guards told me while cheering on it.

"Mitsuha, late last night, a suspicious man wandered around the store.

Hey, brave man, intruding next to the guard post ... "

"Eh! What happened?"

What a surprise report from the guard uncle!

Yeah Yeah, I chose this place and it was good.

"Catch and torture ... when you hear the situation, confess that you're in the hands of a certain virtue family ... and answer me. He sneaked in and plotted to do something bad. I told him to come back to me, and then ...

"If so?"

"She said she didn't know."

Well, that's right. If the culprit trying to sneak into a house where a young girl lives alone is his minions or at his command, it would be troublesome.

"So, 'It's important if an unidentified person tries to invade a noble house in another country, so I'll contact the Royal Palace immediately and hand over the culprit, and carry out a strict investigation. I'm sorry to bother you. "

"What did you do?"

"I came to pick me up right away. I thought it would be more convenient for Miss than to give it to the Royal Palace and damage the Viscount and cause her a grudge."

She said, and the uncle of the guard who smiled laughingly.

Hey, you're doing a good job!

I don't know if the purpose is jewelry, information, or myself, but it would be pretty bad for me to do it now in this country.

Pia: Cultured pearl necklace, artificial jewelry. An unimaginable asset that can be easily given to children. Earlier, a girl of a senior noble from another country ... or, if badly, a girl who might be drawing royal blood and seemed to be doting by her parents. If the criminal could be investigated at the Royal Palace, it would be very troublesome. … Or rather, why did you decide to give it to me?

Because it is also a Viscount, was it notable that I, who stands out by calling himself the Viscount? Or did you want to get some information and negotiate with me? Wanted to get pearls and jewelry?

Well, I want to believe that I didn't mean to hit me.

But it helped me right away, good relationship with my neighbor!

I wouldn't have done such a troublesome thing, and I would have captured and dealt with just as a thief.

Anyway, they seemed to have the person who came to pick up the criminal confirm the identity of the person and sign the certificate. And those facts were submitted to the Royal Palace as security records, and so on.

That's right, this is the center of the aristocratic town, and this guard post is part of the Royal Guard, and the upper tier is the Royal Palace. He is empowered to intervene in the afflictions of aristocrats, and is not the one to whom the threats and pressures of the aristocrats pass.

If you are a guard in Pingmin Street yet, if you hand out a guard in the aristocratic area, a person who can blow off your boss with your boss, that is, a tiny lower class aristocrat, will come on a business trip. It seems to give. So the guards seem to be bullish even with the nobles. In a small talk when he came, he said, "So don't count on us with confidence! ].

"So, when the Viscount hangs up in the future, this story should tell me nothing, because there is a report left at the Royal Palace, and there is a record of work here as well. And there's no shortage of witnesses; no one doubts the testimony of the six guards in charge of the aristocracy. "

Wow, if I talked about this at some party, wouldn't the Viscount be quite troubled?

Why did you do such a stupid thing ...?

Pia, "Because it's stupid", is that so ...?

Well, even if the first generation who became a nobleman was a respectable person, did he always think that his successor was not a fool or a bonkra, and that a child without a parent or relatives could be managed anyway?

If there were hundreds of nobles, then there would be one or two idiots that exceeded the limit.

No, wasn't that the one who was alone?

But, did you think so much and then did you make it one of my thoughts? Respond to the hassle of paperwork and reporting to the top?

Wow, thank you very much!

"Wait a minute!"

For the time being, return to the store and transfer to Japan!

"Sorry I made you wait!"

And in my arm is a box with six brandies.

They cost around 4,000 yen each, and they are very delicious.

This is a much higher quality product than the one I refilled into a 200ml bottle this time. And this time it's a 720ml one, just bought.

"Thank you for your apology and thanks for your trouble."

"Is it good!"

Is the last time so delicious?

"Yeah, it's a lot higher than before. It's about two ranks higher. Maybe it's really good. I think I've never drunk."

"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "

When I give a gift to a person, I don't care about the Japanese-style “It's a boring thing…”, but rather the Western-style “This is so wonderful! Come to you! ] Has been adopted.

But that person is more fun and happy! Nobody wants anything boring. If I thought that the gift to me could be a cheap and dull thing, it was something unpleasant.

Pia, that's right.

"Of course, this is a secret. Until it is officially announced as a trade item, I brought it in a little under the name of" secret market research at the export destination. If I leaked before the official announcement, If you are forced to pre-sell, you will not be able to bring it again.

And when you're done drinking, collect the empty bottles. Don't throw it away or show it to others. Do you get it? "

"" "" "" Yes, Your Highness! "" ""

Some words seemed to appear in foreign royal palace things flowed into my head, but why not a foreign language instead of Japanese? Well, the translated part transcribed into the brain might have chosen such a word to express the subtle nuance of calling the “highness” half-joking. Don't think deeply ...

However, 6 pieces of 4000 yen are 24,000 yen. If one gold coin here is converted to dollars on the earth and then converted to yen, it is just that much if the exchange rate is bad.

No, at the cost of holding the roots of a troublesome Viscount to no avail. In the future, let's raise the grade of insertion. I'd like to prepare a proper one again later.

Anyway, renting a store in this place was a great answer!

"Ah, Mitsuha-chan, it looks like some noble angels have come. Some of them say," Which Mitsuha-sama is there? "Or" When will you return? " I've heard it, but I knew you knew it.

No, I didn't really know, and even if I did, I wouldn't teach it. If we had to deal with each other, our house would be treated like a lady with this gatekeeper ... "

I'm sorry, aiming for it, I made the store here!

* *

"My husband, a suspicious customer at the door ..."

"What? I'm not going to take care of all the suspicious people who haven't made any appointments, so I'll just turn them back. Why do you bother reporting that to me?"

After receiving a report from one of the gatekeepers, Marquis Mitchell scolded the gatekeeper with a slightly unpleasant tone after being interrupted by the time of his family gathering after dinner.

However, this gatekeeper is not a newcomer. I can make that much judgment, and in fact, I've done that before. So Marquise Mitchell knew that there was something wrong with the decision.

"... what kind of customer?"

During such a time, visiting a noble family without taking an appointment seems like a person with no common sense.

"Yes, I'm 12-13 years old, exotic, non-glossy, but expensive-looking. And message Miss Micheline."

It was enough. To the marquis, to the daughter Micheline, sitting opposite the marquis.

As expected, it was certainly "a person without common sense."

And Micheline was rubbing the Komekami with the middle finger of both hands.

"... What is the content of the message?"

"Yes," Micchan, I came to play! "

"" "" "" ......... "" "" "

The Marquis, three sons, and a daughter, Micheline. Marquis Mitchell family, 6 family members. All of them were drooping.
