The Shiunji Family Children (紫雲寺家の子供たち)

When you watch TV, make sure to keep the room bright and not sit too close!

Okay!

Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble: Raising My Baby Brother With Memories From My Past Life

Hey, what do you think you need to get adventurers to spend money?

Food and shelter—in other words, places to eat and sleep—come first.

They're adventurers, after all.

Something that gives them the stamina to fight monsters.

Meat! A meat dish would be perfect.

A meat dish?

Fighting monsters...

Winning against monsters...

How about tonkatsu?

Tonkatsu?

Shall we make it, then?

Who's we?

You, of course.

Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble: Raising My Baby Brother With Memories From My Past Life

Using Magic to Visit the Capital

Sorry to barge in like this, Fiore.

I figured this would be one place where I could find the ingredients I needed.

Well, we haven't started today's prep yet.

Chef and Innkeep Fiore

And you've always been good to me, so it's fine.

But...

Can a little kid like this really cook?

Good Point

5-Year-Old Kid

Ageha will be fine.

Let's get started, then.

That knife's incredibly sharp.

Don't cut your fingers.

Okay!

Here I go!

Tell me if you run into problems.

I can do it for you...

Smack Smack Smack

Toss Toss Toss

Crank Crank Crank

Once the oil temperature's risen, I'll fry it again.

There's nothing for me to do...

And here's your tonkatsu!

This is great! It's crispy, but the meat is soft.

And it's juicy, too!

It's a full meal, as well. This will be great.

Tonkatsu is also good luck.

"Katsu" means to win!

Katsu -> Win

That's perfect for the adventurers' guild!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry I called you a little kid!

From now on, I'll call you "Teacher"!

Feel free to share the recipe if asked.

Share it with the other shops around here.

Understood!

Thank you, Teacher!

Here's your two gold, then.

Oh, we'd rather have one gold and nine silvers, if we could,

along with 99 bronze and 100 iron coins.

Hey, we're not a moneychanger!

We can't use gold pieces to buy gifts in the capital.

Lord Ageha, you're going to the capital?

Yes. I came here today to make some spare change for that.

Here.

Thank you.

And a little gift from me.

It's also thanks for the recipe.

It's not that much money, so don't worry about taking it.

Thank you!

Wow, it's pretty heavy!

Welcome back, Master Ageha.

What's wrong?

You look awfully tired, considering it's only been half a day.

Well...

Regulus?!

Brother...

He's been like this the whole time since you left.

He kept trying to run out the front door.

And when we tried to catch him, he only cried louder.

And when we tried to stop him from running away, he ran around the whole mansion...

H-He's full of energy, isn't he?

The only time he stopped crying was during his sword practice with Genzo.

Exhausted...

Actually...

You mean the count is just making you do everything?

If I may...

If he was exposing corruption in the capital,

perhaps he should have found some sort of business opportunity, as well?

Good point.

Perhaps he intended to force the Kikunoi to raise Regulus for free

in return for exposing the corruption?

And now that's no longer possible, thanks to you, Ageha.

I don't want to assume he's that bad...

Either way, it's good for the Kikunoi to be successful.

I'm not taking his side, but if he wants what I want, then I'm willing to help.

A cat that catches rats is a good cat, whether its fur is white or black.

Anyway, I'll be the one to explain to the head chef why I was willing to share

the recipe with the adventurers' guild.

To a chef, recipes are his life. I need to be upfront about it.

Understood.

Anyway... if he gets like this after just half a day,

what would happen if you left for a full day?

Master Ageha, are you...

Brother, are you leaving again?!

Oh, um... Yeah.

No!

I'm going, too!

And on the morning we were to head to the capital...

Okay, let's go.

I'll use teleportation magic.

Teleportation magic?

That's so fantasy!

Don't let go, okay?

Okay!

Okay, here we go.

You can open your eyes now.

This is... a music sheet?

Oh, you know of it?

This is for writing down music, right?

If you have this, does that mean...

The owner of this house is a little strange,

but he's said to be one of the best to ever play a musical instrument.

I don't know a lot about music,

but that's what my friend said...

You know someone that amazing?!

You're amazing, Mr. Romanov!

You're really into music, huh?

That's what I'm telling you!

It sounds like he's busy.

No, it doesn't seem to be a lovers' quarrel.

How can you be sure it's not a lovers' quarrel?

Because elves can hear everything.

You just can't hear the difference.

Excuse us, Vitya.

Alyoshka! You finally came!

Oh, you!

You're Aggie, aren't you?

Viktor Shostakovich

Viktor Shostakovich.

A court musician for the Kiou Empire.

In addition to being the greatest musician in history,

and he also collects and preserves

instruments and music from all the world's major nations.

He's also a powerful magician, but few know that.

Excerpted from "Romanovpedia."

Aggie! I've been waiting for you!

"Aggie"?

Let me hear your music!

He's so close!

And look...

Singer Maria Crowe

I knew it was a lovers' quarrel!

Now, now, Vitya.

You're scaring Ageha.

Aw, if you're thinking about music, I need to be the first man you think of.

Actually, I just forgot that you were a musician until a while ago.

He can be so silly sometimes, you know.

Right?

Hello... I'm...

Ageha, the eldest son of Count Kikunoi.

Y-Yes.

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Aggie!

Um, who's "Aggie"?

It's my nickname for "Ageha."

Cute, isn't it?

I'm just not going to say anything.

Um, who is this?

Oh, she came by because she wants me to teach her to sing.

I was just asking her to leave.

But I'm in a good mood because I've met you, Aggie, so I'll give her a lesson.
