There was no official record of whether or not Ryo was sneezing repeatedly when the matters of his new neighbors at his Rune house were decided upon.
After breaking Harold’s spirit curse and asking rlin a few questions, Ryo’s current concerns were gone.
Then, of course, he wanted to eat sothing sweet.
“This mille crepe of the month… is kinda intriguing.”
The inn lounge of the Kingdom Mission also served fairly decent cakes, but there weren’t many varieties… in other words, he’s had them all.
However, there was a café next to the lodge.
‘Cafe Roer’
The coffee was of premium quality, and the cakes were delicious, so naturally, it beca his favorite spot.
After much hesitation, Ryo ordered a set of ‘mille crepe of the month’, which caught his interest first, and Roer-blend coffee, before he finally had ti to look around.
Two seats away, diagonally in front of him, sat soone he recognized from sowhere.
Looking extrely tired and with his shoulders slumped, he seed as if he was having a hard ti.
However, when the cake set he ordered arrived, he smiled as if he had co back to life and began to eat it with great relish.
anwhile, Ryo also received his mille crepe of the month and coffee…
After eating, they both left the cafe at the sa ti.
“Mr. Ignis?”
The man was Ignis, Chief Negotiator of the Kingdom Delegation.
“Ryo-san? Oh, you’re here too. The cakes here are delicious aren’t they?”
He seed to be having a hard ti with the negotiations but had no trouble having a nice treat.
Ryo knew that as long he still recognized good food as delicious, he’s good.
Of course, Ryo himself has never experienced this, but he knew soone when he was on Earth who was so busy with his work that he ended up losing his sense of taste…
“Negotiations… must be tough.”
“Yeah, well…”
Even though they’re mbers of the sa delegation, he couldn’t tell him what they’re negotiating.
Ignis answered vaguely with a wry smile.
Then Ryo said covertly.
“If there is anything you want to discuss with Abel in the royal capital, you can discuss it through . If you have to, please let know. I am, after all, the Premier Duke, so I have pretty high authority to access confidential information.”
Ryo gave a thumbs-up with his right thumb.
Although Ignis probably had no idea what it ant…
“With His Majesty…? Are you serious?”
He didn’t tell Ignis about ‘Soul Resonance’.
Apart from the search party, the only one who knew about it was Commander Hugh… and that was because he had no choice but to tell him recently.
However, he couldn’t leave Ignis alone, as he looked so exhausted.
Then again, he wasn’t told not to tell others about ‘Soul Resonance’… and they probably wouldn’t be offended.
“Well, I can’t do it for too long, but it’s possible with alchemy.”
Having said that, he didn’t want to be overly relied on, so he just said it couldn’t be used for long.
Ryo is good-natured, but he is also a scher!
“Thank you. If it cos to it, I may have to ask His Majesty’s opinion.”
Saying that, Ignis bowed his head.
He seed much less pensive than he did at first.
That alone may have made Ryo’s proposal worthwhile…
Being at the forefront of negotiations between countries is accompanied by unimaginable pressure….
Ryo shook his head slightly after parting with Ignis.
Returning to the mission’s quarters next to Café Roer, Ryo found Commander Hugh McGrath in the lobby, looking at so docunts and letters with a stern look on his face.
Ryo, not particularly paying it any mind, tried to walk past him.
Then, he got caught.
“Ryo! ”
“Eh?”
He didn’t expect that he would call out to him.
And Ryo involuntarily exclaid in surprise.
“Sorry, but I need you to do a favor.”
Hugh called Ryo to his side and showed him the letter.
“I need you to deliver this letter to a magician in the Republic of Mafalda.”
“A magician? And a Republic?”
Ryo answered, tilting his head.
Then he suddenly noticed.
“Huh? Where is Niels and the others?”
“Oh, I asked Room 10 and 11 to carry out so urgent tasks for . Today, or rather, just monts ago, the workload of the escorts suddenly increased so much that… they all had to return from their vacations.”
“Wow…”
Hugh said with an apologetic look on his face, and Ryo made a sullen face as he could picture the disappointed faces of the escort adventurers.
“So, Ryo… you’re the only one I can entrust this task alone. For so reason, the Cardinal requested it personally… and to be honest, I find it shady. But I’m sure Ryo can handle it, right?”
Hugh grinned.
Jumping into a trap even when you know it’s a trap… seems to be an adventurer’s vice.
Ryo thinks so, but he gives off the impression of one who knowingly jumps into a trap to crush it with force…
How strange.
“The Republic of Mafalda is a five-day trip by carriage one way. Can you help with this?”
“Sure. I’ll go.”
Thus, Ryo took on the job of delivering the letter.
Or rather, more of an ‘errand’ than a job.
The destination was the Republic of Mafalda.
It was his first ti hearing of a Republic on Phi… a country he had heard about previously and was a little curious about.
Ryo was a little excited as he left the quarters…
