125 Trouble 1
[Please contact me immediately – Taona] Notice
[What’s this?] Kaoru
When I returned to [Convenient store Bell], there was a paper stuck on the door.
[What is that?] Francette
Yeah, I don’t know as well, but before that

[Who is this Taona?] Kaoru
If I don’t know who that is, I can’t get in touch.
Everyone just shakes their heads, and no one seems to know who is this Taona.
[Let’s get moving!] Kaoru
Yeah, I can’t do anything else.
Today, let’s have some food and take it easy. No matter how much I relaxed at the hot springs, I was still tired. I wasn’t aware of it.
Especially on the way home.
A few days later, when I met Ed’s family on the ranch and talked about this excursion, they were saying <Why didn’t you ride us?>, and so on.
Then, he said <Ah
> and he said, <You forgot! You forgot about us completely!!> Ed was angry, and Ed’s wife and child were staring at me with cold eyes, and I couldn’t bear the gaze of the crying face of Roland and Francette’s horses, and I was stripped of various promises and meal level improvements.
It was all


crap.
But well, this time it was my bad. I guess I got no choice

[If you are back, why don’t you come!!] ???
I was yelled at business hours in the evening.
[
Who?] Kaoru
[It’s me! Taona!!] Taona
Roland whispered from behind me to let me know.
[That’s the old disciple of a pharmacist!] Roland
[Ah
.] Kaoru
Apparently, Roland didn’t quite like Taona, but he remembered the face.
I’m not proud, but I don’t remember people’s faces.

I’m not really proud of it.
However, even though Roland was supposed to be on the second floor, he sneaked up behind me

[And what is that pharmacist’s disciple here for? This isn’t store selling rare drugs anymore, you know?] Kaoru
If it’s not a customer, I probably don’t need to use honorifics. I’m older, so it won’t be bad since we’re not in a business relationship. If I say that in a moody and arrogant manner, then

[I’m thinking about letting you know about the merchants from the royal capital who seem to be spying on you, and the people of the royal palace who seems to be interested at you
] Taona
[Thank you very much for coming! Please, let’s go upstairs! We’ll prepare tea and sweets right away

] Kaoru
Yeah, of course, I always thank my valued customers. No, obviously!
Taona-san overlooked my behavior earlier and blindly accepted my hospitality. Information is worth a lot of money, so if it’s free, I can save a lot of money. I’ll show you how much I can flatter you!
[

 So, just in case, I came here to inform you.] Taona
I apologized saying, <I didn’t know where you live, so I couldn’t go right away> and listened as it was the appropriate thing.


Of course, it’s not unreasonable to say that I didn’t know who Taona was.
No, I don’t want a wife but a husband, and I don’t need a daughter-in-law.


Riette-chan?
Yes, If it’s Riette-chan, she might be a good wife


No, leave at once!
[

I mean, they’ve come to investigate the miracles and wonders that have happened in this city recently, right? As for the country
] Taona
That’s not good.
However, everyone involved had been silenced. It’s not supposed to trace back to me


[No, the merchants seemed to be from different shops, and the royal palace’s people seemed to be personally dispatched by someone. It’s like someone was sent to try to get out of the way

So, I was told to receive an order from the country, but I had the impression that they were choosing words that sounded like excuses

] Taona
Oh, as expected, of the disciple of the pharmacist! Even at a young age, this apprentice was quite knowledgeable and got excellent eyes for observation.
[So what’s their purpose for pursuing me?] Kaoru
Yes, it’s not so easy to tell how they connect it with me. We have done everything like hushes, disguises, threats, and everything else. That’s why we’re practically in a safe zone

[Master, Master Oredame spat it out.] Taona
[That guy again!
 a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!] Kaoru
But I’ve already hushed him, so he shouldn’t talk about me.
When I said so

[He was just a little intimidated by the vassals of the Baron family, my master was a kind of person who can be easily intimidated. Maybe he just doesn’t want to talk to someone who borrowed the power of the royal palace?] Taona
With a self-ridden face, Taona says so.
[Then, then, the merchants were still
] Kaoru
[My master is weak when it comes to bribery and power. a-ha-ha
] Taona
Taona forced a laugh after saying that.
[But, he’s not a bad person
] Taona
[It’s bad! That’s bad enough!!] Kaoru
And I couldn’t help but push myself that way

But then, I’m just a girl who used to sell rare medicines. Although it was rare, it was something that was sold only once, and it will not come in again after that one time that it was sold. If so, compared that too many other <miracles> that occurred during the same period, it is not a big deal.
I’m a little relieved to think so

[So, when I heard from my Master, <Next, I went to the ranch where the horses of Baron Doriver, whose eldest son had recovered through miracles and then to the ranch where horses such as Carlos of the Reifel family have returned>.
And listen to the story of, <The servants of the Viscount family of Reifel were tight-lipped, so the mystery was that the Viscount family had bought food scraps, grains and nuts for dogs, crows, and other animals.
Let’s find the girl. It was said that the girl was seen at the butcher and vegetable dealers in the market
> and some people were sent to investigate
] Taona
[

Gi.] Kaoru
[Gi?] Taona
[Gyā ā ā ā ā ā ā~~!!] Kaoru
I overlooked the investigative abilities of the people in this world, ā ā ā~~!!
I didn’t think there was any need for the stable man’s grandfather, but there was a record for buying and selling of Carlos. Also my name and contact information as a client of Ed’s management!
The record that Carlos was mine at the time of the incident was perfect


[And everyone said, <Don’t you know a girl with nasty eyes?>
] Taona
Bikun Bikun! (flinching sfx)
[A a, Kaoru-oneechan, please be firm ~!] Riette
While listening to Riette-chan’s voice in the distance, I was cramping and convulsing at the table


[
Ah, she’s back!] Riette
At voice Riette-chan, I lifted my face up.
[Why is Taona
?] Francette
[You’re back!] Kaoru
When I looked at Francette, who hadn’t been there before, she anxiously looked at me and Roland.
Francette sometimes goes out. At that time, she will always leave Roland or Emile and Bell as my escorts. That’s why there was only Riette and Roland with me. Emile and Bell went to work to take a request at the Hunter Guild, in order to train and earn some money.
[I heard the story from Roland-sama. Apparently, the girl named Taona knows Kaoru-chan quite accurately.
Well, after your master learned about this place from the Baron Doriver, since his eldest son there miraculously recovered, because of the rare herbal medicine earlier, and the people who were investigating leaked <A girl with nasty eyes, appearing in a lot of stories and such>, it would not be strange to be a smart person to some extent

Well, it’s a good thing that she’s on our side, maybe she’s trying to wipe out the unreasonable absurdity of her master, but the problem is that they come from the royal capital. So

] Francette
Francette asked me with a confused look.
[What would you do?] Francette
Yeah, what should I do
