Ronin had visited the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce on his last procurement trip to Pasture City. At that time, he had arranged with their representative, Hook, to have him come to Mountain Forest Town in early October for pickups and deliveries.
Ronin hadn't expected Hook to be so punctual. He'd said early October and had actually arrived in Mountain Forest Town on the very first day of the month.
However, because Ronin had been away leading an expedition, outsiders were not permitted inside Mountain Forest Castle without the Lord's permission. As a result, Hook and his companions had been staying in a house temporarily arranged by Chahar for the past two days.
"Hahaha, my dear Baron Ronin, long time no see!"
Hook, who had been led into the castle by Chahar, walked up enthusiastically, his arms spread wide for a hug. The recent travel and poor sleep had left him utterly exhausted, so he was overjoyed that his client had finally returned home.
