“I’m back!”

“Come in, Fio!”

“Let’s eat together, Fio!”

“Sit next to me, Fio! Come here!”

Yoko’s restaurant was always busy around dinnertime. The customers were friendly; they remembered my name, and they would say hello to me and pat my head. They would even pay for my food sometimes, so it helped me out financially! It reminded me a bit of the bar in Trundle Guild...

“Fio!”

“Oh, Yamada!”

“Welcome back. Are you tired?”

“No, I’m good! Come on in!”

Hm? Why are you giving everyone in the restaurant the stink eye, Yamada? Are you hungry?

I went back to my room and reported the results of my commissions to Yamada. I was glad that he’d come at a good time.

“So I finished all eight commissions.”

“Whoa! That was fast. You don’t have to rush... Here’s your next commission. It’s not urgent. Also, here’s the pay for the completed ones.”

“Thanks.”

I got out a matcha cake, which I’d borrowed the kitchen to make last night, and served it with tea. The availability of Japanese ingredients was one of the reasons I’d picked Marsche to hide in!

“You’re so good at cooking despite being a noble... God, you’re too cute! But I did attempt to murder you...” Yamada sighed. “I keep getting more rivals by the day...”

“Yamada?”

“Oh, sorry, I was talking to myself. I don’t have any big news about Judore today. There’s just one thing: all Trundle soldiers have apparently left the military. They can’t be convinced to return, and they’ve scattered across the kingdom as adventurers. Since they were all highly skilled, the military has lost a lot of strength. Judore has the magician’s association, though, so they have a good amount of strength regardless.”

Grandmother, you’ve spotted General Avenger and started driving him into a corner... My condolences.

“What about the Granzeuses?”

“I don’t have any news about your father.”

“Oh... I see...”

According to the information Prime Minister Tabuchi had collected, there wasn’t any fuss around my escape. Nobody knew about my life-or-death battle. Maybe the prince had decided that it would be a bad idea to make enemies of the Granzeus and Trundle families at this stage? Or maybe he had some other plan... It gave me a bad feeling.

“Father...”

I wonder if he’s enjoying a glass of whiskey in the glass I made for him right now...

◇ ◇ ◇

Some time had passed since I came to Marsche. The days had grown longer, and it was now cicada season. I began another day as Fio.

The locals had seen me catching lost pets and collecting supplies lately, so they’d taken to calling me “Fio, the snake charmer who does anything.” Occasionally, I would receive direct commissions, but my usual system was to have the reliable Mrs. Yoko write down the client, details, and payment in a notebook, which my soldier friend and older brother figure Yamada would check. I would accept the ones which he approved. It ended up wasting time if people didn’t take me seriously as a young boy, after all, and it would be a pain to act as my own receptionist.

“Both you and your snake, be safe!”

“See you later, Mrs.
