　Florent puts down his cup and holds out a sheet of paper as it slides across the desk. It was a demon-stamped check. It was a very ordinary piece of parchment with a gold leaf design on it.

"You have a track record of doing just that, don't you? Rabbi Rust."

"Don't you think that offering such a large amount of money before the details of the request would alarm people into believing that it is a very difficult task?"

"I don't believe that Rust is one to turn down a request because of difficulties.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There are plenty of things I can't do myself, of course.

　I stay with my check and wait for the rest of the conversation.

　So you will not be able to explain to me the contents of this cup until you receive it?

　I conclude, looking at Florent. He was taken all the way to a place like this with no one serving him even though he is royalty.

　I'm sure that if I asked Kalene about it, she would say that it sounds interesting and that I should take it. Well, if it was just a request, I'd say no. Kalene's intuition really has a knack for being right about unpleasant things. If Zwei's involved, I don't blame her.

　It is a grimoire.

　Florent makes a gesture to ring the bell in his hand. But no sound is heard. Instead, she feels a wave of magical energy spreading from the bell.

　You are using a very antique magical tool. That wave of magic should be shaking bells in other places where it resonates. I thought people didn't use them much anymore since the communication device was built.

　They must have received a signal from Florent somewhere. The door opens and someone comes out.

　It is Actor Kahelonay from the church of Aleithra in King's Landing.
