The inquisitor of Great Temple of Divine Will looked through the information in the headquarters. 1
She was searching for the records regarding Silverlight Barony.
However, the archives were rather badly organized on top of Silverlight Barony being abandoned or two hundred years. She had a hard time finding relevant material.
But Katie finally managed to find a thin file regarding Silverlight Barony
Apparently, the first Silverlight Baron was an outstanding knight and received the territory three hundred years ago as a reward for his efforts against monster threats.
Silverlight Barony put a lot of effort into cultivating apples.

The neighboring Cunningham Viscounty had been in the same trade for longer, but its sales fell short of Silverlight Barony.
However, from a certain year onwards, Silverlight Barony failed to obtain great harvests due to irregular weather.
On top of that, the water source dried up and the land followed suit, which brought us to the present day.
Thanks to that, the apple sales of Cunningham Viscounty reached their previous values. 2
「Suspicious….extremely suspicious!」
Katie’s glasses shone brightly as she looked through the file.3
Katie’s intuition told her there was something suspicious with Cunningham Viscounty.
However, she had no idea what that was, so there was a need for her to personally investigate.
She felt uneasy about doing it alone and decided to enlist help in Silverlight Barony.

「…..And here I am」
「I see. Were you to come a bit sooner, you wouldn’t have missed on udon」
「What? Udon?」
「Ah, you don’t know about udon. You are so behind the times」
Iris answered halfheartedly as she lied on her bed.
Katie, who sat in the chair, expressed her lack of understanding.
「Punipunini」
「You had no idea about udon before going to Wagaka village yourself though」 Punigami, as Iris’ pillow, answered in exasperation.
However, such thing didn’t matter.
Only present held importance.
Iris knew about udon, Katie didn’t.
Therefore, Iris had the right to be smug.
「I’m not sure how should I face discrimination on the food basis. More importantly, apples! Apples!」
「Apple are good too, but I want some chocolate~」
Muttered Eclipse as she rolled on the very same bed.
「Yes, here some chocolate」
Sheryl, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, pulled out chocolate from her pocket.
「Yay. Munchmunch……yummy~」
「Ah, Eclipse-chan is so adorable! I almost want to eat Eclipse-chan who eats her chocolate!」
「I don’t think I’m that tasty though~?」
「I wonder about that. Let’s try it. Licklick~~」
「Hiyaa, it tickles」
「Hey, Sheryl! What are you doing to my sister!」
「I’m licking her cheek, nothing much!」
「I can see that! I’m telling you to stop!」
「Understood. In that case, I’ll lick Iris-sama」
「Eh? Stop….hiyaa, it tickles!」
「Sister Iris is so cute. Then I’ll lick the other cheek」
