It was on their way to Dawn Samarelli’s house that Vio and his retinue found the doctor. They had thought to immediately call out to him, but he seemed to be in the middle of a dispute about something with a man and two guards.

Vio hesitated slightly on whether or not he should interfere, but he noticed that Dawn had a severe expression on his face. It also bothered him how sloppy the two guards were at their task. It made him want to poke his nose into the matter.
“Excuse me. What’s all this noise about?” Vio called out.

Right after, the four of them turned around and looked at Vio with blank faces. Vio tilted his head slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

The middle-aged man with sharp eyes, Vyasa, glared at Vio. “Who are you? Can you not meddle in our business?”

Dawn chided him with a small voice, “Hey, don’t say something like that. He’s the second son of Duke Lesserhain.”

“Le…!?” Vyasa’s eyes widened, and the guards hurriedly straightened their backs. “Please forgive me for my rude behavior! How could we help you, Lord Lesserhain?” Vyasa asked.

“I wanted to discuss something with Mister Dawn Samarelli. I was going to call out to him, but he seemed to be in trouble…” Vio replied.

The guards looked at each other quickly before they both gave Vio a look of suspicion. One of them asked, “Excuse me, but could we ask you about the kind of business you need from him? We don’t mean to be rude, but he’s a well-known drunkard with the reputation of a quack doctor… I think he’s not someone worthy to be visited by a member of the Duke family.”

“Is that so? Even though he’s known as a quack doctor, it seems like everyone who lives on 10th Avenue relies on him…” Vio commented before he continued, “Well, that’s fine. Mister Samarelli is an excellent botanist. I came to visit him because I want him to help me…. Ah, please don’t worry that much. This is what a certain source recommended to me.. Jill, show them the letter.”

“Yes.” Jill immediately understood Vio’s intention and presented the recommendation letter he took out of his bag to the guards. “Here it is.”

“…This crest… His Highness the Crown Prince!?” The guards stared at Dawn, full of disbelief.

Dawn also looked bewildered, raising his right hand lightly. “I’m… Um, Is my name listed in His Highness’ recommendation letter?”

Jill nodded. “Yes. In our first meeting, Young Master said that His Highness introduced you to us, right?”

“… I don’t remember. I’m sorry,” Dawn said, shaking his head. He had been too bothered to listen at the time, so Vio’s remarks then had gone in one ear and out the other.

“By the way, His Highness told me that he’s the best of the recommendations from the list he gave me. We’ve checked the others, but… Mister Dawn is the best choice. So I couldn’t give up and came to see him again. Anyway, could you two please tell me what happened here?”

After the guards returned the recommendation letter to Jill, one of them replied to Vio with a serious expression, “Doctor Dawn was making a ruckus, wanting to enter Mister Vyasa’s warehouse. We thought he was drunk and speaking nonsense…”

“So you did not listen to him?” Legion pointed out with a cool tone. He had a slightly grim expression. Legion, who had a strong sense of justice, wouldn’t allow that to happen.

The guards hung their heads. “Um… We’re sorry.”

Legion then turned to Dawn and, with the intent to confirm his reason, asked, “Then, why do you want to enter the warehouse?”

“My son went on an errand to this store, and he didn’t come back, so I came to look for him. Vyasa said that there’s no one in the warehouse, but I could see someone inside.”

Rille, who was standing in the back, palmed her fist. “…Right. Mister Samarelli, you said that you could see the spirits!”

The guards became astonished and stared at Dawn.

“S-spirits?”

“You can see them?”

Vio nodded once. “For now, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. We can settle this issue by checking the warehouse. Now then, are you still planning to skimp your work?” Vio said with a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

The guards straightened their backs and saluted under Vio’s frosty gaze.

“We won’t dare!”

“Mister Vyasa, we will check the warehouse.”

“…I understand. It can’t be helped.” Vyasa guided them to his warehouse, helpless.When they entered the warehouse, they couldn’t find Yuan’s figure anywhere “Look, he’s not here. It’s just Dawn’s drunken nonsense. Please go home,” Vyasa said, sullen.

The guards looked disappointed and were about to follow his words, but Dawn interrupted, pointing at a sealed barrel, “No, check that barrel. The spirits are gathering there.”

“In that barrel?” The guards frowned, hesitant to do as he said. Seeing how they hesitated to open a sealed product, Vio cleared his throat.

They lost to Vio’s silent pressure and helplessly went to the barrel.

Vyasa panicked at that. “Hey, wait! What are you trying to do to my product? The liquor will be spoiled!”

“If I’m wrong, I’ll buy them. Isn’t that fine?”

With Dawn’s response, the hesitation in the guards’ movement disappeared. “That’s how it will be, Mister Vyasa,” one of the guards said before he looked around the warehouse. “Is there anything to break the lid… oh. I’ll borrow this mallet.”

“Hey, stop it!” Vyasa exclaimed, lunging at the guard.

The other guard stopped him, while the guard with the mallet hit a part of the lid. Then there was a light knock.

“This barrel is empty… Is it really true?”

Next, the guard hit it with power, making a hole, and forced it to open.

Inside the barrel was Yuan, sleeping as he held a flowerpot with yellow flowers.
