The next day.

Then, the sub master of the Adventurer’s Guild came to visit.

The dungeon is nearby after all. Just going to take a look shouldn’t take much time.

So, we were told to go along.「Why me as well?」when I asked,「What is the discoverer asking about!!」I was scolded.
No, I wasn’t aware I have to accompany you.

That being the case, we have arrived at the lord’s mansion.

Thus, after being shown to a room and told to wait, a middle-aged man in his thirties along with an elderly man soon entered the room.
I have not used appraisal, but judging by the garments, the young man looks more like the Feudal Lord-sama. But this person, haven’t I seen him before somewhere……

「You are Takumi-san? How do you do? Cedric Risner is my name」
「Eh? …… Risner?」

Feudal Lord-sama speaks as if he knew about me.
I have not met him before, but his surname is Risner. And his silver hair and grayish blue eyes, perhaps……?

「Oya? Have you not heard from Isaac?」

「That fellow again…… I’m really sorry for my younger brother. He surely kept silent to surprise you」

Younger brother!!

Ah, I see. That’s why Risner-sama wrote me a letter of introduction when I told him that I’m going to Bailey~

At that time, I simply thought that he was just writing to someone he knows.

If they are relatives, Risner-sama was the most suitable to write the letter of introduction, wasn’t he?

「In Shirin, Risner-sama…… I am indebted to Isaac-sama very much」

「Ah, raise your head please!!」

I was surprised at him suddenly lowering his head right after greeting me. I hurry up and stop Oniisan.

「It is I who should thank Risner-sama…… ah~ I’m sorry. Is it alright to call you Cedric-sama?」

Ah~…… it would be confusing calling both brothers Risner-sama…… however, calling him by his name without permission would be impolite. First, let’s ask for permission……

「Yes, certainly. Honorifics are unnecessary too」

「Then, let’s settle on “san.” Of course, I don’t mind if you call Isaac that way as well. I give you permission as his elder brother」

「Let’s get along」

He has a gentle smile, but an overbearing way of calling has been decided. Un, it doesn’t seem that I will be able to refuse.
But, it would be impossible without honorifics, so please forgive me for adding “san.”

「I was under Isaac-san’s care. I had also received a letter of introduction when leaving Shirin. It’s a little late, but this is the letter」

It’s different from my plan, but I hand over the letter I got from Isaac-san to Cedric-san.

「That’s right, that! I’ve heard from Isaac that he gave you a letter of introduction, so when you arrived at this town, I thought you would immediately visit me, you know?」
「Are? He certainly asked me to visit you, but…… I didn’t have any plans on receiving a favor, you know?」

Just receiving aid would make me feel awkward and I had no plans on making things difficult for him.

「Eh?」
「N?」

Are we misunderstanding something……?

「…… Umm, let’s rely on him if something occurs…… is what you were thinking?」
「…… Well, you could say that」

I feel like I’m counting on the noble’s authority, but that’s really it when speaking frankly…… helping when in trouble. When there’s really, really no other way. I thought to ask for help only then.

「…… Isaac that fellow」

It seems that Isaac-san has told Cedric-san something different.
Isaac-san…… what have you told him……

「May I ask what Isaac-san has written in the letter?」
「Yes. About the happenings in Shirin, Takumi-san’s arrival to Bailey, and he asked me to lend you a hand. Those were the contents」

Indeed, those contents make it seems as if it has already been decided that I would come to visit the feudal lord.

Regardless of what I plan on doing, I should have visited here first, or something……?
Uwa~ have I done it……

「There was a report from the gatekeeper that Takumi-san has arrived, but that was the reason you weren’t coming, I see」
「…… Eh?」

Wait a minute!
While I was worried about the interpretation of the letter of introduction, Cedric-san said something that can’t be disregarded.

「Cedric-san, what do you mean by the gatekeeper’s report……」
「I had notified the gatekeepers to let me know when Takumi-san arrives in the town immediately」

Wow. Cedric-san, you have given such orders……

「That was futile as well, though」

「No, no. I was selfishly waiting so don’t mind it. But that being the case, I would have been nice if you visited. Oh yeah, Takumi-san made a new bread in Shirin and spread it, right? Actually, it was also written in Isaac’s letter, and because a detailed recipe wasn’t necessary, it has already spread through our town」
「Ah, yes. I saw it selling in a shop」

It was only jam buns, and bread with dried fruit and nuts mixed in, but as fruits and nuts are abundant here, the variety definitely increased.

「Takumi-san. If possible, won’t you please tell me the recipes of the things called Cream bread and Anpan? Of course, I will reward you」

「I heard from Isaac about this as well. If there’s no fuss about the store, I will introduce it to a wholesale store that sells bread to our house, the other stores will be properly supported by the Risner house」

Because Allen and Elena love Cream bread, I want to make it efficient to replenish. That’s why I intended to have it made in a shop somewhere.

As for the red bean paste, you just need to boil sweet red legume, so I thought it would appear in other shops even without the recipe, but…… that doesn’t seem to be the case.

「I’m fine with a store that Cedric-san recommends」
「Ayy~ I’m looking forward to it. Isaac boasted in the letter how delicious it is, so I was extremely interested, you know?」

Eeh!? It’s just a normal Cream bread and Anpan, you know? Isaac-san, why are you raising the hurdle that much!?

While Cedric-san and I are having such discusison――

「Umm~……」
「「Ah」」

The sub master who was left behind flusteredly raised voice.
Un, Cedric-san and I completely forgot the sub master’s existence.
