Heavenly realm. Fiona’s home---

There, Navi reported recent affairs to his master, Alfrieda.

“---so because of that, although there were some troubles, the situation ended with a good result”

“For that daughter of mine, she’s doing surprisingly well ”

Receiving the series of reports, Alfrieda felt reassured. It was a face that a mother would make regardless whether she is a human or a god.

“However, with that, it is possible to move to other countries...but would it cause any problem with Gods who were originally from there?”

“Fiona is the Goddess of Fruit Trees after all, I believe it will not cause any conflict considering her responsibility and ability. By the way, what about your own view, Navi? Is there anything you personally feel that would be an issue?”

“Well, yes. I suppose her honesty with her desire from time to time is quite a trouble.”

“She is a very honest child, isn’t she? Don’t you think so? You think so, right? Right? Hey, oi, please read the atmosphere”

While grabbing Navi’s head, Alfrieda forced her subordinate to answer her question.

“(Oh right, Alfrieda-sama is another one with this kind of personality)”

“Navi, where’s your reply?”

“Ah, yes. It is as you said. Well then, it’s about time for the main story to start”

|■Lucorua Kingdom. Fudgy’s house|

“Fiona-sama, let’s depart”

Fudgy along with two other people at the doorstep greeted Fiona.

“Please be careful. Navi, make sure to escort both of them well.”

“Plis leave it to me”

“In the end, it’s fine as long as we learn the recent atmosphere, condition, and rumors circulating around there--- Please don’t do anything dangerous”

“Well, investigating is our forte, so we won’t do anything that will make ourselves stand out in our own hometown. Either way, I’m sorry but we’ll trouble you to cover our base, Goddess-sama”

Ultimately, following the flow of the conversation, Fudgy and Mimosa would focus on gathering information while Navi would follow them as an escort.

|■ Fraul Kingdom. Granola’s Mansion|

Changing the place to Fraul Kingdom.

Margot, in her residence, was about to give her first real instruction to the two informants, Salt and Tonic.

“Sharing information in advance---is it”

“Indeed. The rest will be handled by Boggat House supposedly. I will also head over to Baxia with Veur-sama.”

“Roger!”

Margot called out worriedly to Tonic who replied energetically.

“In addition, Tonic-san? I heard you received a punishment from Fiona-sama, but did something happen? For Fiona-sama to be angry...something like that has never happened before until now”

“I heard it’s something about being suspected as a heretic”

Not understanding the word uttered, Margot continued to ask several questions.

“?? But isn’t Fiona-sama the [Goddess of Fruit Trees]... What kind of heretic? Are you a vegetarian or do you only eat meat?”

“No, I eat meat, fish, and vegetables normally, you know? I also eat fruits if available”

“You basically eat everything after all. I’m also the type who doesn’t really have likes or dislikes regarding foods”

“I mean, we are not rich so we can’t choose foods based on our likes or dislikes”

“...if that’s the case, then why were you the only one getting punished?”

“I’m the one who want to know the most”

As the two of them pondered, Margot regressed the topic back to the original

“Well, no matter. Please focus on your mission for now. This is the document you need to hand over. It will be in your care.”

|■ Lucorua Kingdom. Fudgy’s house|

“Fiona-sama! We have come back”

“Welcome back, thank you for your effort”

“Maybe it’s because we haven’t done this in a while, it took some time maneuvering around. We’ll prepare lunch now. Good thing we have also bought the ingredients”

“Ah, then I will also help---”

“Fiona-sama plis sit down”

Navi cut down Fiona’s offer immediately.

“No but, I should at least---”

“Plis sit down (smile)”

“But”

“Sit♪ (super smile)”

Facing Navi who was unleashing invisible pressure and intimidation, Fiona gave in and took her seat quietly. Sensing something amiss, Fudgy called out to Fiona instinctively.

“U-uhm, we’ll finish soon, so may the two of you wait there.”

“Yeah. We are flattered by the offer, but we bought foods that were already processed to a certain extent. So, don’t worry too much about it and wait for us to complete the preparation”

The siblings said so as they disappeared into the kitchen.

“What is wrong with you, hmph. Even when I was served at Alp’s place previously, I couldn’t help out because I was trying to report to mama. That’s why I wanted to help out this time”

“I was displaying a haughty attitude at that time, but as expected, when lives are at stake, I would have stopped yuu with my everything”

“Lives are at stake, you say… You are exaggerating too much”

“Then, did you properly taste that thing that you fed Tonic-syan (chapter 31)?”

“I did! My pinky quivered a little bit, but I’m fine otherwise”

“Please listen to me, okay? Usually, when that happens, you won’t say [I’m fine]”

“I-it’s really fine! In the end, I gave divine punishment to that heretic(boobs lover)---”

“What sin is that supposed to be, dear lord. Anyway, please practice more if yuu want to show off your culinary skills.”

Thereafter, 10 minutes of pointless conversation took place before Mimosa and Fudgy appeared, bringing their cooking over.

“Sorry for the wait”

“Not only have the two of you helped out with the work, but also the food preparation. I’m sorry that the two of you have to do so much…”

“Please do not mind it. Gods have Gods’ responsibilities, no? Also, I will report the gathered intels later after eating. Though, there’s nothing significant”

“Well then, ret’s eat”

The four of them once again said their gratitude for the food from their seats before eating the food.

A while later---

After the food was half gone, Mimosa started talking.

“Well, where do I start...from our perspective this place is our hometown and it doesn’t seem like there are any changes”

“How about from Navi’s perspective?”

“Hmm, although small, I had the impression of the houses being properly built. In addition, the sound of something being made continued non-stop”

“Lucorua is a country of craftsmen after all. If Fraul is an agricultural country, you can say that Lucorua is an industrial country”

“We buy the raw materials, sell it to other countries, and with that money, we purchase food and daily necessities. It is ranked no.7 within the alliance, so it feels like a mid-sized country”

As they were born and raised here, the siblings answered the questions promptly.

“I sea”

“Is there anything weird?”

“Actually the economy doesn’t look too good. For the last decade, it seemed like there were various problems such as raw materials not coming in, etc. When that happens, some craftsmen lose their jobs”

Fudgy dropped his gaze for one moment before quickly turning his gaze to Fiona.

“I don’t think we can find much in just one day or so. Uhm, will you be staying here longer?”

“Unfortunately, I also have my role as [Goddess of Fruit Trees]...In addition, you two are also employees of Alp’s orchard. Once you understand the situation here, it is also an option to temporarily return...”

“(And what’s the actual reason? Fiona-sama)”

Navi retorted telepathically so that the two of them wouldn’t know the real reason.

“(I don’t want to stay too long at a place without shower and aircon! Please understand!)”

“Well, we were told by Alp-san to follow Fiona-sama’s instructions. Although we won’t oppose your decision, we finally got the approval from our employer to return to our hometown, so we would like to stay here a little longer”

“Mi-mimosa-nee”

“Then, let’s continue the investigation for 2 or 3 days longer”

“(Heh?!)”

“I owe you one, thanks!”

“(NOooooooooooooooo!!)”

Hence, it was settled that the three of them would continue investigating in the afternoon and Fiona was left in the house just like during the morning.
