"You're getting a lot warmer"

"Right. But there are still days when it will cool down...... I recommend this"

When the snow broke and the sun was mostly getting warmer, Mr. Lani arrived a long time ago. Mr. Leni has also followed him, but he is going shopping with the Amurs.

"Is this... Micah?

Grandpa held the citrus fruit removed by Mr. Lani in his hand, peeled and smelled it, and threw it into the mouth of one chamber. And

"Sooo! What the hell is this!

It seemed different from the flavor I had imagined, and I spit it out in surprise.

"Is this teak (...)?

"Yes. If you float this in the bath on a cold day, you'll have plenty of body. Not many people eat it as it is, but they can also put skin and squeeze juice in alcohol, use it for cooking, or use it as a treat."

Grandpa, who heard of alcohol, smelled grapefruit again and nodded so much that it would. And he looked at me like he was expecting something.

"I'll buy it"

"Thank you. Around 1 kg, there are about 100 kg in a thousand Gs. If you're going to buy it all out, you're going to lose a kilogram or nine hundred?

So I decided to buy them all without hesitation.

"And I thought I'd want these things too..."

And, Mr. Lani has put out three teak trees. Of course, I bought this too. The branches are cut, but they are all about 3m, so if we do well, we might be able to harvest them in ni to three years.

"So, from here on out, I'm going to talk to you as a Southern intelligence officer.. tell me more about what happened when your daughter was injured"

Earlier, his cheeky face changed, and Lani asked for information about Kaios.

"I'll tell you what, the king has a warrant for that information?

"I hear that again, knowingly. Tell me."

Worried about what to do, Lani said,

"Even though the south belongs to the kingdom, it's actually close to another country. Besides, even if you are no longer a child, your daughter is definitely one of the most important figures in the south. If you say that such a person has been compromised, but that not a single piece of information will be disclosed.. As for the South, we may have to rethink something called Autonomous Communities (...)"

"When Maria gets mad at me, I'll take Lani with me."

Threatened so far, as an adventurer, I would have no choice but to talk... so I told Lani everything I knew. However, after agreeing to be on the road. Mr Lani nodded immediately when he said that he could not give up there because this was the minimum condition for talking. It should be noted that Grandpa was running away from the room while I was worried, probably willing to pretend to be irrelevant.

"I don't think I should have had grapefruit for my grandfather."

I decided to say that about Grandpa and discussed the future with Mr. Rani. The biggest problem that came up in that,

"I think Master Hannah will understand the situation... but Master Robo may storm here"

That's what I said.

"That one tends to run wild when it comes to the lady, and most importantly, it's extraordinarily easier to move... I think if you let it go, there's almost a ten percent chance it's coming... or I was pissed off at Hannah for trying to follow me on this trip..."

"What if my relationship with the kingdom deteriorates in addition to Amur hating me?"... he gave up after receiving a sermon, but in addition to the name of going to see how Amur was badly injured, if he finds out that the cause of this one is on the kingdom side for a good number of reasons, he is undoubtedly assumed that Viscount Robo will come to the King's Capital.

"Not only Hannah, but Sana and Blanca need to help."

"Speaking of which, I think the head of Mr. Lani's organization asked Viscount Robo or Amur..."

When I asked him what he remembered, he said that was already a long time ago, and now Mr. Hannah has the authority. Anyway, it is problematic that the department that handles the information is held by anyone other than the owner, so it came out of the group?

"Robo-sama's job now is to represent Hannah when something happens, but the most important task is to chair the festival's executive committee."

It feels like a lot has been dropped from my former lord, but surprisingly, he's taking the initiative to propose a festival to Hannah. Most of the time, only suggestions are made, and the details are often thrown round to other executive committee members?

"Are you just saying..."

"No, you think it's hard to do because someone I know says they give me the most important permits and budget negotiations, and they basically make me do whatever else I want"

The hard part is I don't get my hands on it, but I don't even get my mouth on it. Outreach, maybe he's a good boss.

Well, it doesn't make much sense to talk about Viscount Robo any more, so I decided to listen to the rest of the South. The best of them came from the story of Yoshitsune, who said that the next Southern Viscount had attracted attention and that there was already talk of his fiancée.

"Of course the daughters and relatives of the powerful in the south, as well as other nobles, have spoken. Well, some people are thinking about the Southern rights agenda and takeover, but this is the first time we've talked about engagement from other nobles, and it's a different story not to take it, and it's now a popular topic among Nanao."

It is true that the South has not received an honorary Sir before, but since he became an official Viscount from Mr. Hannah, in that second generation a child Yoshitsune would think he could take a great deal of power.

"Later, in that rumor recently, isn't Mr. Tenma teasing you about Yoshitsune's marriage? Sometimes you say,"

"Yes?"

"No, Mr. Tenma's apprentice would have been adopted by the Ootri family to become the royal fiancée. Intertwined with that, there are rumors that instead of sending your daughter out of the south to her daughter-in-law, you will have Mr. Tenma's adopted son as the daughter-in-law of Mr. Yoshitsune. By the way, it is very popular to expect that Tenma's adopted son will come from relatives of the Duke of Sanga, the Marquis of Sammons, or the Uncle House on the Border of Houst."

Interesting as the story is, and certainly likely convincing, but when I said I didn't mean to do that at the moment, Mr. Lani laughed and said, "I think so too".

"However, when it materializes, Master Yoshitsune.. or the Southern Viscounts can have an edge with 'dragon killer' and 'great nobility' and, thinly, 'royalty'. With that in mind, it's much more savory and interesting in the sense of the interests and prosperity of the Southern Viscounts than it is to bond with the powerful in the South and the less well-informed aristocracy of the aim of rights, and it's a story we want to make happen."

From Mr. Lani's mouth, I thought I heard something like chills and authenticity, but I decided not to laugh and listen.

"Well, shall we use a ton of teak to make a lot of things? How is Mr. Lani doing at his place?

Lani and Leni said they arrived at the King's Capital and came straight to the house, saying that the inn had not yet been taken. So when I told him to stay at home this time, he was reluctant at first, but when Mr. Leni said he was going to stay alone, he was going to stay with a bitter laugh about whether he had floated that sight.

"Then I'll take a look around at the Wang Capital a little later. Yeah, with that said, there's something I haven't heard about Kaios yet, but can you let me hear it tonight?

"That's just who you are. It's going to be secret information about the kingdom, so you can't teach it in my presence. By analogy, not only Lani, but Leni is not the right person to take you on the road."

Confidential information is when Kaios' arm came back to normal. In conclusion, it is likely that Kaios' arms grew before and after the day of escape. Apparently, the last place Kaios was taken started digging about six months ago, and the physical features section of the documents registered at that time said one arm (...).

The reason I didn't tell Mr. Lani about it was because it was also inside information about the mine on this, so he decided it was beyond what was acceptable even if I told him.

When I said no, Mr. Lani laughed lightly, apparently knowing the circumstances from the beginning, and it didn't stick any more.

As soon as the customer was guided, Mr. Rani went out to unpack and purchase the product. I dropped it off and headed straight to the dining room.

"With all this, we're going to be able to do a lot of things... but it's going to be tough for you."

I decided it was impossible to cook at the top, and this time I decided to do the bottom and cook it for a few days. I don't have Jeanne and Aura as my assistants, so I decided to ask Suralin to help me. Well, when I called Slalin to the dining room, it came with a useless seemingly extra, but I didn't even have to interrupt it, so I let it go...... Solomon stumbled on teak and surprised and fussed about sourness.

Because of the cleanup after Solomon's rampage, the extra time was taken, but I decided to relax and slallin you.

Slalin's job is to clean the teak. Slalin takes grapefruit into the body, which dissolves and cleans the dirt on the surface, but I have a little resistance to using it as it is on the boulder, so I had to rinse it off with water once.

The cleaned teak separated the skin from the contents, and the white part was removed as much as possible.

"Put this in a container and pour a high degree of alcohol in there...... sealed and done!

Sugar is only normal, so I'm not putting it in this time. If I needed sweetness, I would add sugar to see how it goes when I drink it.

"Do you want to make teak and pepper?"

We have a lot of green peppers that we harvested last year, so let's also try to make sense of consuming them. Well, it's easy to make...... if you try to make it right, you have to be careful with a lot of things and it can be a pain in the ass, so let's see how everyone reacts with the clueless virgins and then figure out if you want to make something authentic.

"Shiloumal, Solomon, stay away from me because it's dangerous."

I cautioned, but I asked Slalin not to let me get too close because I could think enough of coming losing my curiosity and appetite.

"Finely chop the teak peel, chop the chili into the same size... mix the salt and crumble all the way"

I really should take the chili seed, but it's a pain in the ass, so this time I just chopped off the heta.

"Put this in a container and put it to sleep in a cool place and you'll be done"

I put the clueless grapefruit pepper in a cold place by straining a piece of paper that said 'grapefruit pepper/spicy' so that someone wouldn't eat it by mistake.

"The only other thing I can think of... is jam, tea and some cake on pong vinegar? Well, I might serve as a substitute for other citrus fruits, so why don't you try something else?"

It felt like I said, and I finished cooking my first teak. But that evening......

"" Lara-ah!

Two victims of teak and pepper came out.

Grandpa and Aura tasted the teak pepper with a spoon, even though they were wearing sticky paper because of it.

If they could smell it and put it on their fingertips, they wouldn't have done that much damage, but they blew themselves up with the flow of saying, "There's something unfamiliar," "Tenma was making something," "I was buying citrus fruit called grapepper," "It says pepper, but there's no black grain," "Then you can't eat it," "Because it's grapefruit, I guess I wrote it softly," "If it wasn't this much, I don't know what it tasted like"... By the way, the discoverer was Aura, and Ji happened to come where Aura discovered him and lost her curiosity to pick and eat.

"Speaking of pepper, I thought if the ingredients were citrus fruit, it would be fine..."

"You don't normally think citrus fruit is spicy ~..."

It felt like saying, it didn't look like much reflection, so dinner was specially prepared around something hot.

"Oh, not ghosts... no, nothing..."

"Oh my... looks delicious..."

When I served a hot stew specially prepared for Grandpa and Aura, I thought they had spoken of not listening to anything, but when they met me, they started eating heavily.

"This is an interesting seasoning. Is that grapefruit pepper? It's interesting to say pepper even though it's chili."

"No, some parts of the south call chili pepper, so you can't go wrong. Well, I've never heard of condiments mixed with teak and chili, so it's not uncommon... but what goes with it is going to determine how much you can sell."

Leni and Lani had a taste of my teak and pepper and exchanged views. And

"Sell me a recipe for this, Tenma. I'd like to try selling it at Sana 'a's!

"Selling at Sana 'a's makes it possible to curb sales channels in the south. Well, any day will be imitated, but by then we will have established the status of 'Tenma Mark'"

Where did you sniff the 'Tenma Mark'...... but it was a story I could tell after doing a little research on what was famous in Gunjo City. Establishment of status would mean branding.

"It's easy, so I don't have to get paid anything..."

I said that if I did that, there would be a number of products using my name without permission, and the financial contract was necessary. Even though I need a contract for the sale of grapefruit pepper, I asked him if 'Full Pavilion' treats were good, and that was before I became famous, and he knows that I was in Gunjo City for a long time and my relationship with 'Full Pavilion', and most importantly, the Duke of Sanga is behind me, so he can't get his hands on it.

"No sweets, but I want to treat condiments in the south"

I was told, so I was going to sign a contract. Most importantly, I decided not to end up selling the recipe, but to make it a stamp duty contract to get a portion of the amount sold, and to have the price paid for it with food, drinks, seasonings, etc. in the south. I left it up to Mr. Rani to pick things out and have them put together when he came to the house at the dealership.

The next morning.

"Then I will return to the south one foot away"

Lani was due back in advance to bring information on Kaios and teak and pepper back to the south.

Dropping Mr. Lani off at the Mansion Gate and relaxing in the house for a while,

"With that said, Mr. Tenma, didn't you say you were going to greet your brother and the king or something?

Mr. Leni came to visit as if he remembered.

"Ah!"

With that said, he went to report to the King that he had given Mr. Rani the information of his own accord, and he said he would be angry with him. I know you remembered Lani telling Leni last night at the after-dinner booze place, "You two are coming to the king"... but at any rate, I wanted him to remember a little sooner.

"That's why Mr. Leni... let's go get pissed off together"

"What is it!

Leni seemed to think that me and Lani were going to the king's place to make the southern and royal pipes fat, and didn't think he was going to apologize at all.

"Hey, I'm bringing my brother back!

That's what Mr. Leni said, he tried to go after Mr. Lani,

"I don't care what you think. Even if you're going home through the usual path, it's going to take Ni to three days to catch up and come back, and if you're a convict, you'll have to chase them all the way to the south."

Even if it was a leak of information to the extent permissible, you should go to the king as soon as possible, so Mr. Lani has no choice but to give up. All I can say for Leni is that he's unhappy, but as far as I'm concerned, it's no different for Lani or Leni to apologize together, so given the hassle involved, it's easier to take Leni with you like this.

"... when I get back to the south, I'll spreading bad rumors about my brother to someone I know"

Mr. Leni had a cold grin that was unthinkable from his usual appearance. I wonder what kind of rumor (I think it's a fabricated story or an exaggerated one), but when I poke it poorly, it seems like it's all coming, so I thoroughly turned off the signs and got air, praying that the spearhead wasn't at all right for me.

"I see, is that why I was called"

I decided to ask Mr. Cliff to come to the Mansion to report to the King as soon as possible. There was also a way, as usual, to go directly to the royal castle and go see him as he was.

"Sure, if you take a woman directly to the royal castle, there could be some weird rumors. In that regard, it is possible to deceive the messengers from the Southern Autonomous Region no matter how noisy they may be."

Having deliberately put it in an inclusive way, Mr. Cliff headed toward the carriage before I let him in.

"In the meantime, shall we take the carriage?"

I got into the carriage with Mr. Leni, who was nervous, and drove Mr. Cliff to Royal Castle. In the meantime, however, there was no conversation with Mr. Leni.

"Hmm, is that the situation? Well, more than they brought up a relationship with the South, Tenma gave you some information, too, which is something you can't help. Just in case, you're not leaking any more, are you?

"Yes, Mr. Lani... I'm an intelligence officer in the south, but otherwise he seemed to understand that it would be a Kingdom secret. Well, I was asked for other rights.. it was mine personally, and we didn't lose each other, so we never could rub it."

Hearing that he had been asked for his rights, for a moment the face of the king and Maria became rude, but he laughed when he talked about the rights sought. Between them laughing, Mr. Leni had his face drawn from nervousness and his tail was upside down.

"Well, if the temper is good and there's no problem, it's not about us talking..."

"I wonder what that grapefruit pepper looks like."

It was like saying, I was prompted to teak pepper. Well, I was willing to do that, so I'm bringing it right. I conveyed some precautions, but the king was surprised by the spiciness, losing his curiosity and using his fingers to taste them on the spot. In addition, I was stuffy when I rubbed near my eyes with the fingers I used to taste them.

"You don't have more habits than I thought. If you think of it as a spicy seasoning, you can use it for a variety of dishes."

Maria was calmly analyzing the suffering king. Mr. Kleif also tasted it and said he would like to try it on various dishes if it tasted a little more.

"Leni's worried too much. Your Majesty and Maria are not people who are tough but eye-catching with a few things, so you should be more relaxed and talk."

"I can't! Normally, if I behaved like Chris, my neck would fly often and badly."

"Too much thought."

Chris, who heard that Mr. Leni was coming, apparently decided to come and visit him at home sometimes the next day was off, and he came into the carriage home.

"Well, even if you weren't being polite, you're not the ones who say loud things to those who are trying to be careful."

"That's right. Tenma, when I first met His Majesty, I called him 'Old Man'. Even now, it is not uncommon to respond to His Majesty in any way. Well, I wouldn't do that to Maria."

"Mr. Chris, when I treat a king clutterfully, it's about when there's a problem with the king. Therefore, I have never treated Caesar, Isabella, or Zain in a cluttered manner."

"That means, conversely, those of you who didn't name it have dealt with it clutteringly, right?

I didn't argue with Mr. Leni's penetration, but one thing I can say is, 'I treat him better' than 'I have treated him before'.

"But sometimes Maria runs wild, but it doesn't get cluttered then, does it?

I have a clear answer to Mr. Chris' question. It's

"Mr. Chris... do you think you can treat people who always (...) run wild and those who occasionally (...) run wild, in the same line?

"I can't."

That's what it is. Chris, who understood the meaning in an instant, also felt like he had no choice.

"Dear Tenma, there is a carriage of the Duke of Sanga's house parked in your mansion"

A little in front of the mansion, Mr. Cliff has discovered and reported the carriage of the Duke of Sanga house.

"Which one of you is coming?

I mean, either the Duke of Sanga or Albert is here, but what can I do for you? When you enter the mansion with that in mind,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tenma!

I was called to the reception room, where I was suddenly lowered my head by the Duke of Sanga, who was waiting for me. And Albert beside it, too, is silently bowing his head.

"Albert... did you do something again?

The only reason the Duke of Sanga apologized to me was because the only reason I could think of was Albert beside him, so I said I was going to soothe the place...

"Not again (...), but you're roughly right"

I've been told.

"Tenma, you two are coming with a serious story, so why don't you sit down and listen to me?"

Honestly, Albert's reaction was unexpected and I was worried about how to react, so it helped Grandpa get in between.

"So why did the Duke and Albert turn their heads around?

When asked why in the form of a repartitioning,

"The... daughter is coming..."

"Primera...... no, are you the sister on that?

If you're saying Primera's coming, I don't know what it means for you two to come and apologize. Besides, the moment I came up with Primera's name, I remembered something. It's

"I made Albert bright blue, of the sender of that letter"

I left Albert an angry letter about my company with Primera, and I was expected to come see me in person any day, about the sisters upstairs.

"My second daughter is coming to King's Capital soon, and she wants to see you then, Tenma."

Just one thing means I may be going to launch a time difference attack...... and there was me thinking.
