The trading city of Sille is located in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Midonia.

　It is located in the Gulf of Mesili, a natural harbor, which is enriched by trade with the Spice Islands and the East.

　It is known as a scenic port and is a city that every traveler wants to visit at least once.

"You are very knowledgeable, Mr. Will,

　That was Lunamaría's words.

"I learned from my father, Vandal. I've always wanted to see it, but I never dreamed it would come like this.

Me too. People who come to the Temple of the Mother of Earth often go on their honeymoon on their way home. I've heard it's a very charming city.

"I would love to see the sights when I have time, but now is not the time to relax.

　Looking at the face of Hans the butler, rocked by the carriage, he too affirms.

"You will continue on to the Anaheim Trading Company's villa. Victor will be there and we'll talk about the details with him.

　Viktor, the master of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, a name I miss very much.

　The master of the chamber of commerce who looked after me when I first came down from the mountains, a very capable and thoughtful man. He was so kind that I promised to see him again, but I never dreamed that we would meet so soon.

　It was a bit ironic that I got the opportunity to see his daughter in danger, but it was still a pleasure to see him.

　I walked over to the Anaheim Trading Company's mansion and headed to the office located there.

　I wasn't in the parlor because Mr. Viktor is very busy.

　It's your daughter's crisis, but he's in charge of Anaheim's business association, and they receive a mountain of paperwork from all over the world requesting settlement.

　Buried in the mountain of paperwork, Viktor carefully reads and signs each document one by one. He doesn't even have time to look at us even though we've come in.

　But he is happy to see me again.

"I'm sorry. Please wait until I finish looking over this document.

　He said in a leisurely tone.

　I waited as he said and he read the document in three minutes and twenty seconds and signed it.

Well, that's great.

　That's what Luna Maria said.

　It's true that reading a document of that thickness in such a short time is tremendous.

　But I know someone who reads faster than he does. Father Vandal.

　There are sixty-five hundred and fifty-six books in Father Vandals' library.

　You can't read them all at the speed of an ordinary man.

　It was routine for the Vandal to finish them at three times the speed of Mr. Victor.

　Lunamaría was truly surprised when I told her that.

"Can't you get into your head at that kind of speed?

"I don't think it's coming in. That's why Dad isn't reading a book, Vandal, he's remembering. He's remembering.

"Memory ......?

Page by page, he said, "I burn it into my brain. He remembers it like a photographic paper and remembers it later when he needs it.

"Well, ......

　Lunamaría puts her hand over her mouth and is surprised.

So sometimes I'm walking down the street and I suddenly burst out laughing because I remember the contents of a book, or I'm taking a bath and I think of a magic theorem, and I suddenly start writing naked.

"Hmmm, that's just like you, Vandal.

"Yes.

　This is a little off topic, but Viktor probably reads the documents in the same way. He must remember only the important parts and not the unnecessary ones.

　If he remembered the whole pile of papers, no matter how big his brain was, he would surely get a flat tire.

　Thinking this way, Viktor smiled and said it was a brilliant thought.

I got into the habit of doing that after so many years of settling papers. You can't remember everything like your father did, but the point is that you only need to remember the important wording and numbers.

　After generously showing off her work ethic, tea is brought to the office at just the right moment. Before you know it, Hans, the butler who left the room, has the maids bring you the tea.

　As expected of a professional butler, I'm impressed, but I'd rather talk about Karen than tea.

　I suggest that, but Viktor lets out a bitter laugh.

"No, my daughter is in danger," he says, "but it's not a matter of what happens today or tomorrow. We can afford to serve tea to our guest. Since you are visiting the Anaheim family, I would like you to drink the spice tea imported from the Spice Islands.

"If you say so, Viktor,

　and Lunamaria happily sipped her cup.

　Lunamaría was fidgety about the unfamiliar smell of tea.

　Lunamaría, who has a good nose and a taste for tea, finds the unknown tea very interesting. If you have the time, you can afford to drink a cup of tea.

　I slowly sipped my cup and enjoyed the spice tea.

　It was very pungent and tasted sweet. I never tasted anything like it at Table Mountain. I wanted to give it to my mother, also a tea drinker, I thought.
