Guild Personnel
Having dropped by the Trēs House, I was sipping tea in Vera's room
The h population density, they had a vast yard surrounding it What's ht
In such a location, with all the conditions gathered together, a mansion that looked like overkill had been set up
And if you were to ask what I was doing in Vera's room…
”The iteether ourselves, but they're specialized tools, so it ether at another shop Because if you're buying all this together, they'd usually give a discount I'll prepare a letter of introduction, so go buy them with Professor Damien”
The memo Damien had scribbled out was re-written for readability's sake, and I handed it to Vera
”So buying them all at once is more beneficial?”
”With the Trēs Trading Company, we don't deal in such specialized tools Wetheether You can go there next ti too A shop that sells this sort would be…”
According to my consultation with Vera, if I wanted to buy the io there
”It's my loss You've memorized all that?”
As she looked as if she remembered all the hed
”Of course not There aren't too many specialists in this sort of machinery or equipments It's not like I know each and every door”
She explained, as she began writing up a letter of recommendation The Trēs House's name was quite effective in Beim
I heard the Fourth's voice from the Jewel
『Lyle, have her introduce a variety of crafts in rare metal』
The gole… dubbed the 【Valkyries】 by the man, had their skeletal frame parts incorporate rare metal, it seems
But for the processing, and property selections of the metal, ould need the power of a specialized craftsman So ould need an introduction so such a craftsman as well
”While we're at it, do you know any good crafts rare metal? More than that, you know anyone who could ith Tressy's ”
When he saw Tressy's materials, Damien said they contained some superior metals But we had not the tools to process them, nor the acquaintances who could
Vera sat on the sofa, and touched her hand to her chin, looking down a little
”They're mainly unknown rare ht? I'm sure there are quite a few craftsmen in Beim who could ith them, but before that… an experienced one who knows not the impossible If you ask if I know one, then I do, but he's quite stubborn Perhaps you could negotiate with et to put his hands on?”
I was thinking the sa to take time It would also cost money, so I wanted to use as much of Tressy's leftover materials as I could
”I did have that on mind But it seems Damien is more fixated on thosethey'll be put to good use in his own research”
Perhaps Vera found it funny, as she laughed
”There's no helping researchers and craftsot it I'll put in a word But even if you can meet him with me, he's a craftsmen who sometimes even declines my father's requests”
”Is he that a?”
The fact there was a craftsman ould decline the requests of the Trēs House's head surprised me
But I could nod to the story
”He's a dwarf They're long lived, and it see tiainst hily The important parts of the Vera Trēs were made by that dwarf”
(I guess I'll try ood, I'll move on)
And as I continued talking with Vera like that, a knock resounded through the rooer sister Gina
With red hair, she was, unlike Vera, abundant… in chest
”Vera, there's so I'd like to… oh my”
”What?”
As Vera took a discontent sip of tea, Gina-san looked at me with a bit of a troubled expression
”T-the truth is… it's about Roland”
If I recall correctly, that's the naer sister's lover, it seems
The Seventh let out a dubious voice from the Jewel
『What could it be You know… once you know this and that, it irl to make a better choice of people to consult her problems with』
Milleia-san sounded delighted
『Using these sorts of tactics… theseEven in the Walt house, there was a ti over a single uy was a coh 』
The Fifth sounded surprised
『… I never heard anything like that So like that happened?』
Vera sighed, stood, and apologized to me
”Sorry It looks like that's all for today”
I also stood
”No, I'ize I was almost all my own matters”
”That's fine And accept the present later I told them to hand it to you”
In truth, it had mostly been about me A fun conversation with Vera only took ten minutes or so up of the two hours
The Fourth, in regards to that
『You were so terrible before, even this is an improvement』
Milleia-san, hearing that
『So you were even more terrible before I'd have liked to have seen that』
(… Where is the kind young sister the Sixth was always talking about? That was definitely a lie)

… Once Lyle had left the mansion, Vera went to Gina's room
She sat on her sofa, the two facing one another
A strong light poured into the room, but everywhere it didn't hit was quite dark
Vera lowered her voice a bit
”You don't have to be so wary of us Lyle has no intention of taking over the Trēs House”
No intentions to take over But Lyle had told her personally That for the sake of the future, he was thinking of placing soulations on Beim
(If so about That sort of talk)
Hearing that, Gina twitched in response, and after a while, she opened her mouth
”U the Trēs House is a bit… even if you don't have such intentions…”
Hearing Gina's piece, Vera inferred the general just of it
(Seeing as I' a suitor chosen by father, she came to assure her position in the house She's also quite wary of Lyle)
She knew Gina was room
And in truth, Vera had always known Gina was the sort to make these sorts of calculated moves And Gina knew full that Vera herself was in love with Roland
She knew, and that's why sheout with him
”Father doesn't intend to let me succeed either And it really doesn't matter who does What's more, I haven't the mind yet to lay hands on the Trēs House's money That was all my own funds”
Gina seerossed in Lyle, and eat away at the House's assets
”But would you usually go that far?”
And she surely had a side that cared for her elder sister But to Vera, that was only a hindrance
”… Gina, I won't get in the way of you and Roland If you want to succeed the Trēs House, then go and do it already So please don't get in the way of me and Lyle I won't cause you any trouble”
(For now)
Or so she thought in her heart…
