Passing travelers couldn’t help but look at the carriage and its curious foreign emblem as it continued steadily over the snowy roads. The carriage had come from the distant lands of the east, and was emblazoned with the emblem of the Yobai Trading Company. Within the comfortable warmth of its interior, Yae let out a sigh, her face filled with awe and admiration.

“They are all truly people with good hearts,” she said. “And here I was ready to whisk her away at a moment’s notice.”

“Our worries were for naught,” said Shonosuke, who nodded before giving his honest impression. “But she is truly peculiar. Extremely humble, and yet...her knowledge and skills are extraordinary.”

Though parts of her common heritage slipped through in her bearing, Shiori could have easily passed for a samurai’s daughter with a little coaching. On top of that, though she claimed to be a girl of no particular rank at all, she was a woman of great intelligence and talent. Above all, her knowledge and skills in the realm of cuisine were prodigious.

“I can understand one being skilled in both the cuisines of Mizuho and Storydia, but all the same...” Shonosuke muttered.

Shiori had never left the lands of Storydia, but she was well versed in the cuisine of the continent’s major nations, as well as that of the eastern nations and even southern Ishaan cuisine—the only word for this was astounding. Her understanding of the unique qualities of Storydian and Eastern cuisine allowed her to make suggestions on the fly for dishes that both nations’ citizens would enjoy, and this alone was a skill far beyond that of any ordinary person. Even the members of the Yobai Trading Company, who had traveled the world trading at its various cities, were incapable of such a thing.

“She seems to know the tastes and flavors of the entire world,” he remarked. “She’s practically a celestial being.”

Shiori had prodigious talents and a charming beauty, but she wasn’t arrogant in the slightest. It was almost as if she were above such things. She did not strike one as a kidnapped and displaced nobleman’s daughter, but more like one that had arrived as if from the heavens themselves.

“A pity, in some ways,” said Yae with a slight grimace. “Perhaps we should have been more forceful about taking her with us.”

Yae knew that a woman like Shiori would work wonders for their trading company, and that, perhaps someday, she might even wed one of Yae’s still-single older brothers.

“No,” she said suddenly, reconsidering her words, “it would have been a worthless endeavor.”

“Lady Yae...” uttered Shonosuke.

He knew what his master was thinking, and lowered his gaze. Yae let out a wry chuckle.

“Don’t give me that look,” she said. “I am not going to be so foolish as to take her from a place of such peace. She has a good person by her side, does she not?”

Shiori and Alec were the very portrait of a loving couple.
