Author’s note:
I feel like the updates on Tuesday midnight (Wednesday 0 am), Friday midnight (Saturday 0 am) are becoming regular. I wonder how long I can keep this pace...

“Those who left milk they bought for more than two weeks and switch to other dairy products, please raise your hand. Yo, it’s me”
“It’s admirable that you would confess honestly but if you suddenly blow up yourself from the very start others wouldn’t know how to respond. It’s Navi here”
Japan. In a certain mansion’s room located within the urban region.
The goddess, Fiona, and her observer-cum-supporter cat, Navi, were having their usual talk.
“Because the management of the ingredients inside is like this, the seasonings are all in a catastrophic state... It might be better for us to organize the ingredients in the refrigerator first”
“Then I’ll do the stuff handover, and Navi separate the ingredients, okay? Let’s get started, firstly pumpkin”
“Yes, firstly pumpkin and---”
After Fiona handed over the ingredients to Navi, he dexterously received it with both his hands before lining them side by side with his cat form.
“Eggplant...”
“Okay, eggplant here”
“Cabbage, and radish”
“Cabbage, and radish---”
“Then slime”
“Then slime--- Wait. Wait a moment”
“?? Is there something wrong?”
“It’s not ‘is there something wrong?’ There’s nothing but wrongs here. Please don’t bring otherworld’s ingredients here. Anyway, let’s start the main story”
|■ Fraul Kingdom. Alp’s orchard|
|■ Alp’s house. Dining room|
“...ermm...”
Fiona, who entrusted Anchor with the candidate whom they should consult, raised a confused voice in Alp’s house.
>>400
【1. Bartlett】
>>410
【2. Marquis Valencia】
“Putting aside Bartlett-syan, Marquis Valencia hmm...”
Anyway while connecting oracle(line call) with Alp, they decided to take some time to discuss this.
|■ Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|
|■ Boggat House mansion|
“After Mimosa-san, and Fudgy-kun--- Now another two people to be separated from [outsider]... and consulting that with Bartlett-san?”
“I understand what you are trying to say. Although I do not have the intention to disagree with what Fiona-sama said...I believe it would be better to consult with people who are used to doing business instead of myself ”
Midnight of the same day---
Through Alp, Alp’s mother, Sonia, Bartlett, Margot, and Ron Boggat came together for another discussion.
“Also for the other person…Marquis Valencia is a rather, not an apt choice. He’s quite the inflexible person, you know? I believe he’s not the person to consult to”
Although it’s not to the point where they were all directly against it, they didn’t hide their surprise and doubts.
Except for one person.
“Certainly there are worrisome parts but...Fiona-sama has always led us to the correct path up until now. I...will follow Fiona-sama’s instructions”
“Alp...but...”
“Sonia-san, I understand your concern but…I believe we are not misguided. The matter with Salt and Tonic will eventually enter Marquis Valencia’s ears sooner or later. If that’s the case, it will be easier to control the situation to certain extent should we take the initiative to tell him”
“I see, you can see it this way as well. So what’s left is how do we bring this talk to Marquis Valencia...”
“Excuse me, Fiona-sama. What do you have in mind regarding how we should handle Salt-san and Tonic-san?”
|■ Fraul Kingdom. Alp’s orchard|
|■ Alp’s house. Dining room|
“nha?”
“About us?”
When Margot suddenly moved the topic to them, Salt and Tonic were left confused about the aim of her question.
“Yes. Regarding your treatment from now on… Do you have anything you want to do?”
“(Isn’t she just throwing us away under the pretension of what we want)”
“(I-it’s fine I think. She’s just asking for our opinion)”
“No, I think we don’t have choices here...”
“If you could just let us off, that’s more than enough. We’ll follow your arrangement”
|■ Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|
|■ Boggat House residence|
“(And so they say)”
“Hmm...what about having the two of them work under me?”
“At Margot’s place?”
“We are taking actions against [outsider]. We are also gathering their information from many places. As former members of that [outsider]...even more so as information broker, you two will be valuable force to the team”
|■ Fraul Kingdom. Alp’s orchard|
|■ Alp’s house. Dining room|
“What do yuu think?”
“What do we do...Tonic”
“If you guys are alright with information broker that failed their request, we’ll be troubling you from now on”
|■ Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|
|■ Boggat House residence|
“I see you have finished the talk. Well then, next is how do we bring the issue and discuss it with Marquis Valencia”
“Indeed. About this matter, you can leave it to myself, Veur-kun, and Granola-san. Alp, you should go to sleep soon. Sonia-san, please take care of him ”
“I understand father-in-law”
“Fuaa...yesh...”
“Oh my, you haven’t bathed, right? You need to take a bath first before you sleep, alright”
After that, the grandmother-in-law ,Claire, picked him up and the two of them went to the bathroom.
“Now then, let’s summarize the terms of discussion.
- We will settle Salt and Tonic matters peacefully
- We will forgo Lamcour, settling with just this painful split this time
- We will convince Marquis Valencia to accept this terms”
“I believe the last one will be most difficult...”
“Indeed, my impression of him is that of a young man who is serious about his duties but he is also an empathetic person who would reduce Alp’s tax to 10%. He might be strict to the law, but if I’m the one asking...I’m sure he will give some leniency”
“Is that alright?”
“It’s for such times that we sold favors to others. ---perhaps, even this development is also according to Fiona-sama’s plan”
“Ah...”
“If we ask her about it...she would probably just say it’s only a [coincidence]. Let’s do our best to meet her expectations”
|■ Fraul Kingdom. Alp’s orchard|
|■ Alp’s house. Dining room|
“Since we ended oracle (line call) we should go bath now immediately don’t you think so I will properly clean Fudgy-kun physically and mentally so let’s---”
“N-no, as I said...Fudgy-kun is not that much of a child. And no matter how big the bath here, it won’t fit 3 people inside”
--- At that time, the very Goddess they worshiped ---
--- was getting carried away on various stuffs ---
“There’s no helping it. Then I guess there’s no way left other than for me and Navi to enter together”
“What ish the reason why we must enter in a group of two, I wonder? If that’s really the case, I can go with Fudgy-kun while Fiona-syama and Mimosa-san can enter together instead---”
“No way! My Kong Ming...”[1]
“Do yuu have nothing better to do?”
The Goddess’s desire was splendidly dodged by the observer---
And the night went on.
