Takeo and the others stop in front of a room that says the bureau chief's office, and the lady at the reception knocks on the door.
From the inside, I said, "Go ahead. Confirm that the permit is dropped and open the door and enter the room.
Inside, the majestic outgoing West Town Director and North Town Director stood up and waited.
"Director, I have brought Alice and Kitamizato with me.
"Yes, thank you.
Dear Alice, Kitamizato, welcome aboard.
"Chief Nishimachi, I'm sorry I came all of a sudden.
That's what Alice says. Takeo interprets.
"No.
Sit down, please.
And can I get you a cup of tea?
"Yes, I'm in awe.
The lady at the reception leaves.
Alice and Takeo sat on the couch recommended by the director, as did the directors.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Master Kitamizato on the Viscount's epistle and Master Alice on the Knight's epistle.
Director Kitamachi also bows his head to the words of Director Nishimachi.
"When I went to Wangdu, it was suddenly happening.
"Right.
Takeo and Alice laugh bitterly.
"The Count has notified the directors that there have been many other things (...).
Director Kitamachi says.
"How far is it?
Alice asks.
"Three cases of Isakoza in the Wang capital and Kitamizato becoming the director of the institute, and even Kitamizato going to the Katlanda Empire to take the people of the workshop and the butler, right?
"I see, pretty much everything.
"Sounds like it was a rather intense journey.
"It's all going to be.
Takeo sighs.
"Either way, I think you'll report it to Grandpa and then you'll all report it.
"Okay.
So, the... what Master Kitamizato has... is a dragon?
"Yeah, this kid says cu. I met you on my journey.
I'm looking for a home now, so I'm coming to Elvis Mansion for now.
"Kiyu."
Ku greets Takeo's words with his hands up.
"Ha... you're very dear... I've never seen a dragon before.
Nice to meet you, Lord Ku. I'm the director of this town... doing a roundup.
"I'm doing a town roundup on the north side of this territory.
Two directors greet Ku.
"Kiku.
"They say it's nice to meet you.
Mia makes a face out of Takeo's inner pocket to interpret.
"Mia... was it your lord?
Best wishes.
Two directors greet Mia.
"Nice to meet you.
Mia says hello.
"We're on our way home, so I came to say hello to Director Nishimachi.
Why is Director Kitamachi here?
Takeo makes me look strange and ask.
"This is a meeting about example specialties.
"Have you decided on North Town specialties?
"Dear Kitamizato, is Walt Whiskey a specialty..."
"Um... it's also like a specialty...
It's not like I can go to the winery or buy it.
It's a specialty in a large frame called Elvis territory, but it might not be the same in a frame called North Town.
"Is it still...
So when I came to talk to Director Nishimachi about any good ideas, I happened to hear that Master Kitamizato was coming back, so I waited with him.
"Ha, sorry, always abrupt.
"" No.
"Was it decided in West Town?
Alice asks.
"That... I tried to make salted vegetables with advice from Master Kitamizato.
"Yes, I think it's easy.
"There is an atmosphere that seems to be too easy to do dozens of different things.
So I have no idea which one is better.
"I see.
By the way, what kind of salting did you think?
"Yes. I first thought about vegetables with cucumber, aubergines, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, cabbage and radishes in four ways: soak them in salt, rub them with salt, add water and soak them in salt water, and add citrus fruits together to flavor them.
"Are there 24 kinds at this point?
Alice is surprised.
"Right.
And even the amount of salt and the time to marinate will change the flavor... so it's actually not strange to have about 100.
Takeo supplements.
"Yes... the more you think about it, the more varied it becomes.
"Surely that would be an amazing amount.
Everyone nods when they hear about Director Nishimachi's troubles.
"Dear Kitamizato, what can I do?
"As I said before, the surplus vegetables that we make best in each village and don't ship moderately are suitable for salting.
I asked each village to make a bottle one at a time and said it would be interesting to box a few together in town and sell them out.
But it doesn't make sense to make anything.
Why don't we start with the directors, the clerks, and the towns and villages deciding on one salt addition or reduction: 'You can eat this every day'?
Instead of just looking at shipping, I think you should think about salting rooted in your life first and put that together in town as a village specialty.
You won't have to force it to go with the specialty festival.
"Ha... for once, I heard you could come this time, so I prepared you..."
"" I'll eat!
Takeo and Alice responded immediately.
