“Well then, Mister Samarelli…”

“Please, feel free to call me Dawn,” Dawn interjected. From the moment he’d decided to accept the job, the way he spoke to Vio became more polite.

Vio couldn’t help but stare at this change in attitude. “Then Mister Dawn, I don’t mind if you call me Vio.”

“You don’t need to use honorifics with me; just call me by name. And I’ll call you Lord Vio.”

“Yes, please do so. I was planning to return to Leca as soon as I hired a scholar and a mage, but I think you will have to prepare for the move first, right? Other than that, I purchased a few seeds and seedlings here in the royal capital that I’d like you to check. If you have any requests, don’t hesitate to tell my butler, Jill. Jill, please arrange everything. Make sure that it’ll still be within the range of our budget.”

Jill nodded. “Understood.”

With that confirmation, Vio turned once more to Dawn. “Please discuss the details with Jill later.”

“I understand. By the way, you’re looking for a mage?” Dawn asked.

Vio showed a bitter smile. “I was looking for one, but they all refused as soon as I told them my family name.”

“Well, that doesn’t surprise me. As long as they’re in the royal capital, they’re not exactly wanting for job opportunities. …If it’s alright with you, would you like to meet an acquaintance of mine from the Lesserhain territory? He’s mostly a hermit, so I don’t know if he’ll take the job. However, he’s a well-known person amongst mages.”

“And he’s not working for my father and brother?”

Dawn shook his head. “He doesn’t like to interact with people, so he usually runs a magic goods store that’s so deserted it looks like it’s about to close down. And he especially hates people in power… However, you are, pardon my rudeness, quite an interesting person, so it will probably go well.”

Vio blinked. “‘Interesting’…? This is the first time someone’s called me that.”

Ah. But Sir Night did tell me that I’m different from the typical noble.

“But you sure are well-informed about everyone,” Vio commented.

“Yes. He’s my wife’s father… my father-in-law. So long as he hasn’t gotten buried under his books, I’m sure he’s alive and well.”

“…Buried under books?” Amazed, Vio wondered how that situation would come about. “Um… Then I’ll try meeting with him in person. Where does he live?”

“In Endos. It’s a town famous for its hot springs…”

“Ah. If it’s there, then we just have to take a small detour on our way home.”

Endos was a rural town located northeast of the Lesserhains’ territory, to the south of Leca town. Vio nodded, glad that it was convenient.

Jill said, “Then I will organize the trip, Young Master.”

“Ah, thanks. Now that we’re all done here, I’ll be returning to the inn. Jill, I’ll leave the reply to these three candidates to Legi, so you can take it easy.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Young Master. Sir Legion, I’ll entrust you with this task.” Jill bowed to the knight.

Legion nodded firmly in response. “I’ll do it without fail.” He accepted the recommendation letters from Jill, and returned to his original position.

Just as Vio stood up from his seat, his eyes met with Yuan’s who was peeking at them from the kitchen. He called out to the boy, “Thank you for the delicious tea.”

Yuan grinned happily and bowed, “Y-yes. You’re welcome.”

Vio chuckled. “He’s so cute, just like Flora.”

“Master, he’s a boy. It’s rude to call him cute,” Rille scolded.

Vio laughingly apologized at that.

Before he could take his leave, however, someone banged repeatedly on the door, with no sign of stopping. Then they heard a voice calling Dawn’s name.

Dawn sighed, annoyed. “It looks like the visitor we talked about before has come.”

“…I see. Well, you’re my employee now, so we’ll deal with it. Legi, can I ask you to do it?”

Legion bowed happily. “Yes, please leave it to me!”

Vio sat back down and told Dawn, “It looks like I won’t be able to go home for a while. I’m sorry, but can I have another cup of tea?”

Dawn was dumbfounded. “S-sure… I don’t mind…” He opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say ‘Is it really the time to be asking for tea?’, but at Vio’s comfortable lounging, he refrained. Perhaps because he realized that it would be useless to say anything else. Instead, he called on Yuan to make more tea.
