"As expected."
Yi-Han had considered, then abandoned, the idea of employing Gainando to secure investment funds for a future business venture.
No matter how he thought about it, the possibility of it backfiring seemed higher.
"Actually, you're dancing well enough now."
"Really?"
Yi-Han looked slightly pleased.
The assurance from Yonaire, who had attended numerous balls, was quite reliable.
If that was true, it would be a bit easier when participating in balls or banquets to find sponsors later.
"You did step on my foot once earlier, but that's a mistake anyone can make, right?"
"..."
Yi-Han couldn't bring himself to say that he had intentionally stepped on Rowena's foot, so he remained silent.
"This much is enough, right? You didn't think it was lacking, did you?"
"It's lacking in new dances to change to when waltzes or round dances are played, and it doesn't suit concertos either..."
"...Are you trying to make a living by dancing?"
It's not like he was a professional dancer invited to liven up the atmosphere of a ball, so why would he need to go that far? One or two dances would be enough.
Yonaire made a disgusted expression at her friend's absurd goal.
"Ah. A letter came from the family."
"Is it sent by Lady Yoanen?"
"...Don't say such terrible things!"
Unlike usual, Yonaire strongly denied it with great disgust.
Yoanen was a good older sister, but she wasn't a good letter companion.
If Yoanen had sent a letter, she would have filled dozens of pages with stories about new potions that Yonaire had no interest in.
What was even more terrible was that if Yonaire didn't read them all one by one and faithfully reply, Yoanen would sulk.
'Wouldn't information about newly developed potions be good...?'
Yi-Han thought of something that would get him slapped by Yonaire.
Of course, it would be bothersome, but the production methods of newly developed potions were that precious.
"Then who sent it?"
"Remember what Nillia submitted last time?"
"Ah. That."
In the periodic discussions held by the Maykin family about the Empire's political issues and their solutions, Nillia had presented an excellent answer.
It was a truly clever measure that took advantage of the season when the northern Shadow Patrol had free time and the season when Sangoria flowers could be obtained.
It was also good that it didn't additionally mobilize local mages.
Mages were basically expensive manpower, and there were many imperial people who felt uncomfortable with mages visiting in certain situations.
Looking at it again, it was such an intuitive and efficient measure!
'Nillia is too pessimistic.'
Yi-Han thought to himself.
If she had come up with such a measure, she could have been confident, but she kept groaning and saying things like 'This isn't it.'
'Well, that personality might make the plan more perfect.'
"Why is that?"
"The family said they finished preparing and are proceeding with it? They said they're coming to Einroguard."
"Really?"
Even if they borrowed the strength of the northern hunters, they couldn't completely entrust such a task to them.
Going together to advise on which monsters to hunt, directly collecting Sangoria flowers, and mediating a bit if the southern coastal guilds got angry...
Naturally, the practitioners from the Maykin family had to accompany them.
It would be the icing on the cake if a few more outstanding mages participated.
He knew that there had been talk of 'How about inviting professors from Einroguard?' at the Maykin family during the break, but he was a bit surprised that they were really coming.
'They managed to get permission even though it's during the semester. Did they make a large donation?'
Yi-Han thought the possibility was quite high. With the skull principal's personality, he wouldn't miss this opportunity even if he had to take up the teaching position himself.
"Then which professor is disappearing?"
"Who knows? It wasn't written that far."
"Could the principal disappear?"
"Probably not. Rather than disappearing, Yi-Han, it's inviting..."
"Could Professor Bagrak disappear by any chance?"
"..."
Yonaire was about to say something but felt sorry for her friend and just endured it and answered.
"Professor Bagrak doesn't seem to be coming since he's not a specialist in alchemy."
"No. Since they're going that far, they might need an escort."
"Uh..."
"What about Professor Verduus? Professor Verduus is also an expert in enchantment magic, so wouldn't he be likely to go?"
