Father and I, along with the man who claimed to be the head of the Commerce Guild, looked at each other in surprise with both parties recognizing each other.

“You two are the ones that saved me that time! My name is Oliver, the head of the Commerce Guild in this country. Well oh well, it is a pleasure to see you again! Now, please have a seat!”

Father and I sat down at the seat he offered us.

“I am Henry von Preslaria, and this is my daughter, Daisy. My daughter is going to open an alchemy atelier in two years, so I came here today to greet you with her in advance,” Father greeted Oliver-san while he presented the letter of introduction given by His Majesty the King to him.

“Excuse me,” Oliver said a few words, then took the letter of introduction and cut the seal with his knife. He read the document inside and nodded his head.

“…I see. Miss Daisy is already a skilled alchemist and has been selling potions to the nation for some time. You would like to open an atelier in the city so anyone can purchase your potions, correct?”

Oliver-san asked me, and I answered, “Yes, I will be selling mainly potions, but I also plan on selling soft and delicious bread made using alchemy.”

Oliver had a strange expression when he heard the term ‘soft bread’.

“The only impression I have of bread is that it’s a flat, unappetizing object that people make at home, but you can even make delicious bread with alchemy I see. If you have such a product, you could differentiate yourself from existing alchemy ateliers with such a novelty.”

As he said this, Oliver-san placed a book with the words ‘Rules and Regulations’ written on it and a sheet of paper with the heading ‘Application for Provisional Registration’ on the table.

“In your case, you are not yet old enough to register as a full-fledged member of the program, as you have not yet reached the minimum age of ten. However, it is possible to obtain permission to open a store from the Commerce Guild in advance in the form of a ‘Provisional Registration’. If you plan to do so, you will need to pay a fee for the provisional registration, but you can register even right now. I believe you will be able to prepare for opening your business without any worries.”

When he explained this, Father and I exchanged glances.
It would be best to pay the provisional registration fee before the registration fee so that I can prepare for the opening of my business with peace of mind and build a relationship with the Commerce Guild.
Quoting the words that I often hear from Father, an ‘investment?’
I tried thinking like an adult, but I am not sure if I am using it right.

Thus, I filled out the ‘Application for Provisional Registration’, which included my name, residence, guarantor (Father), and other necessary information, then paid the fee and went through the formalities.

The process of ‘provisional registration’ was over. Then, Oliver-san suddenly leaned forward and brought up another topic.

“By the way… in the letter of recommendation from His Majesty, Miss, you are introduced as an ‘excellent alchemist’. I am imploring you, but would it be possible to consult with you?”

Oliver-san’s eyes were earnest.

I made eye contact with Father. After checking, I decided to ask him about the matter and asked, “What kind of matter is it?”

“It’s about my daughter’s foot.”

Oliver-san told me that his daughter, Katya-san, was bitten on her left ankle a few years ago by a ‘Stone Viper’ that was lurking in the grass, and that she has been petrified from the left ankle down and it has not been healed yet. Even though he contacted alchemists and doctors in the royal capital, he could not find a way to cure the petrification, and his daughter was forced to live a crippled life.

“With her foot impaired, she’ll be restricted in her activities, as she wants to be a merchant. Above all, that foot of hers will only be a hindrance when looking for marriage. I cannot help but feel sorry for my daughter,” Oliver-san covered his face with both hands. 1

“I cannot promise that it can be cured at this stage, but I will go home and look into this matter.”

First, I wanted to explore the possibility of a cure. I thought it was a pity that a girl so close to my age should have such a disability, and I wanted to help her.

“For now, I will pay you three silver coins as you are looking into this matter. If you make the medicine, it will depend on the production costs and the necessary materials, so we will discuss this matter once again then.”

I looked at Father’s face. He did not have his special ‘no’ reaction. 2

“I understand, I accept,” I nodded my head.

“Thank you very much! I look forward to working with you!”

With that, Oliver-san stood up and took both of my hands in his own, and grasped them firmly. Later, he apologized to me, as he realized that he was being over-familiar with a noblewoman.

I took the three silver coins and began to search for a way to cure her petrification.
