After a long fuss, they were finally able to sit one after another at the table.

“I’m Leon, the eldest child.”

“I’m Carol, the second and oldest daughter.”

“I’m the third, Louis!”

“My name is Lexi, the fourth.”

“The youngest, Mori!”

And the child who introduced himself as Mori lifted the dog barking fervently under the table.

“He’s the youngest member of our family!”

“Woof!! Woof woof!”

A brown dog about the size of a maltese was barking fiercely at Daphne.

“Oh, don’t worry. Milady. He’s a scaredy-cat, so he doesn’t bark whenever you put him down.”

Indeed, when Mori put the youngest on the floor.

The youngest spun around on the floor, as if he thought he had lost his behind.

“Whimper…”

Then he sat under the table with sad eyes.

So cute.

She didn’t know why Leon was involved, but the family introduction was over.

Carol told her that their parents went to the next village for a while because they had something to do.

“So.”

Daphne looked at each and every one.

“The second who is best at sewing, Miss Carol. Louis, who is interested in accessories, Lexi, who is interested in leather goods, and Mori who is the best at mending, right?”

She was out of breath even though she was speaking slowly.

Lexi clapped her hands in wonder while Daphne was breathing heavily.

“Wow! How did you know that? No, no matter what, Brother told you everything, right?”

“Of course! I already showed all your portraits.”

“Agh! How can you show it to the lady! It was drawn when I was so young!”

“You all look pretty in Brother’s eyes!”

“Aagh!! Gross!”

“Sister! Can I eat the snacks the lady gave you? What about chocolate and candy?”

“No sweets before meals. Let’s have a snack after finishing our meal.”

“But Sister. We thought Sir Wessler was coming, so we just cooked a lot of meat. What to do?”

“Let’s go to the bakery and buy butter bread now, how about it? I’ll be back!”

“Jam too! Jam! We’re out of jam!”

“What? Already? It hasn’t been long since I bought it.”

“It’s because Lexi eats it all the time.”

“When did I! You ate more!!”

Everyone just said a word, but it started to get noisy again.

“Wooof!! Woof!!”

Under the table, the youngest began to bark fiercely as if he could not lose.

‘…A formidable enemy in a sense.’

Daphne had a distraught face.

She didn’t think it was this hard when dealing with Edia, Rachel, and the nearby nobles at the same time.

“Everyone!”

Daphne thumped at the table and raised her voice.

Again, the eyes were on Daphne.

She mustn’t miss this opportunity. It was clear that if she missed it again, it would be a mess as before.

“The reason I came to see you today as a request to Sir Leon is because I wanted to make a request.”

“Milady asked us, not our father?”

Carol, who seemed to be the most communicative, asked.

Daphne nodded.

“You made silk flowers well last time too.”

When she invited the nearby nobles for a banquet, she asked for silk flowers to decorate the winter trees.

It was done perfectly in a short amount of time.

“Hehe, something like that. It’s our specialty.”

Louis giggled, rubbing his finger under his nose as if he were embarrassed.

“Then is it a request for silk flowers again this time? That was fun.”

Daphne shook her head at Lexi’s question.

“It’s a bigger request this time. I want to process the leather and fur of demons.”

“…..!!”

Daphne’s words startled the five of them at the same time. The only thing that wasn’t surprised was the youngest, still barking fiercely below.

“Th-that’s a ridiculous request. Milady.”

Carol was the first one to move.

“In fact, I’ve seen a demon’s corpse brought by your brother Leon several times. Certainly, if you could process fur or leather, it would make very good clothes and armor.”

“But no needles and scissors can cut it!”

Lexi quickly took over.

“I had to cut it hard with a sword with the help of Brother Leon. I couldn’t get rid of the stench at all.”

“Sewing is impossible without a needle. I tried to pierce it once, but all the needle sets I got for my birthday were bent.”

“If you put a nail and hit it with a hammer, it will make a hole. A very little one.”

Everyone said a word, as they had already tried it.

Daphne took a sip of tea and said.

“Cutting scissors and piercing needles that can cut through the demon’s skin. If only you could figure out how to get rid of the stench.”

Golden eyes stared at the five siblings.

“Does it mean that it’s not too difficult to cut and make?”

It was a question of whether one would be able to do well if one was equipped with tools and methods.

It was Louis, the third, who immediately responded to those words.

“Of course! I can make anything with tools and methods!”

“Sure!”

It was a face that said they could not tolerate lowering their skills.

“Good.”

Daphne smiled brightly.

“I’ll prepare the supplies for you. The alchemist is actually researching ways to damage demons.”

“You mean that guy. The one who wanders down the hallways every night…”

Leon said with a sour face.

Adne, whose routine is to stay up all night, roamed the hallways at night or dawn.

It was something she did as part of a walking exercise.

However, it was shocking to passers-by and knights who were on guard.

In the middle of the night, without a lamp. A woman with wavy long hair comes and goes down the hallway without a sound of footsteps.

Even Leon said he was surprised several times.

“Look. I think she can’t move unless it’s when she stays up all night.”

Daphne averted her gaze, feeling embarrassed for some reason even though she wasn’t like that.

“Anyway, in that case, will you accept my request?”

“…What about the bad smell?”

“First, let’s process the leather and fur of the demons that don’t emit a bad smell.”

There were limited types of demons that could be made into clothes and armor.

Some of them were rumored to be easy to process.

‘For that reason in my previous life, some shopkeepers in the capital tried to hire mercenaries to get demons. Although it failed.’

Thanks to that, Daphne knew the names of those demons.

“When the period of the red moon comes this time, those demons will surely come out. Then I’ll ask His Grace to bring their hides.”

“If you will do so. There will be no problem.”

Carol looked at Daphne with a puzzled face.

“Why would Milady want to process a demon’s hide? It’s something no one has ever tried.”

“I think it’s going to be very profitable. Now, think about it.”

The five of them nodded at Daphne’s words at the same time.

“Demons only appear in Bertrand. If we can make money from such demons, it becomes a business that can only be done exclusively in our territory.”

“Th-that’s true, isn’t it?”

“On top of that, if you can make money from demons, it will also help make up for the damage.”

The money earned from the processing business will be used to reinforce the walls, rebuild collapsed houses, and help those who have lost their homes.

“Furthermore, people like unique things. I’m sure they’ll like clothes made of demon fur and leather.”

“That’s true too.”

Leon nodded.

“The fur of some demons is so beautiful that it attracts people. It will definitely be worth it.”

Leon added that there are often requests to catch demons alive, saying they want to raise them.

“I see, I can do it. Sure.”

“As long as I have the equipment and the materials.”

‘It’s entirely turned over.’

Daphne laughed as she watched the five siblings who started to discuss something among themselves.

‘I’m glad I remembered the type of demons.’

Honestly, she didn’t know how to remove the stench. But that too will soon be answered.

‘Just as Selma has increased the effectiveness of the fruit medicine in thief mushrooms, removing the stench will not be far away either.’

Daphne knew Kael well from her previous life.

Kael in her previous life had no aristocratic friends.

None of the Bertrand retainers had the name Eddie.

‘At least it’s certain that the genius is a commoner of Bertrand.’

Could such a commoner have been able to use expensive materials?

They must have experimented with materials that were easy to find around them.

While Daphne was lost in thought for a moment, the discussion among the four except Leon was on fire.

“Here! Look!”

Carol even brought a piece of paper and began to draw something.

“This is how you make clothes like this. I’ll do the sewing, and Lexi will do the leather work to fix the shoulders and waist! Louis can take care of matching accessories, right?”

“Then I’ll make lace and frills!”

Mori raised his hand.

“Yes, that’s how you wear a cape. If the central aristocrats are going to wear it, you can have them cut in the back.”

Swish. The quill moved quickly. And Daphne’s eyes grew as she saw the gradually completed form.

‘Oh, that outfit. I’ve seen it.’

She had seen it in her previous life, to be exact.

She heard it was lucky to get the first dress made by the genius.

She couldn’t forget about it because of the young lady who purchased it proudly and boasted about it.

‘Hold on!’

“W-wait a minute.”

Daphne smiled and asked again.

“Is there anyone whose nickname is Eddie?”

“Woof!!”

“No?”

“There isn’t.”

Five people shook their heads at the same time.

The youngest, who was dozing off as if he was sleepy, began barking again.

“Then is your grandfather or grandmother’s name or nickname Eddie?”

“Woof, woof!!”

They shook their heads.

“Grandparent…?”

“My great-great-grandfather’s name was Eddie, but…”

“Woof!!”

Everyone’s face was asking why she was obsessed with ‘Eddie.’

Then Carol clapped her palms as if she remembered something.

“Right!”

Then she picked up the youngest member who was barking fervently at the table.

“His name is Eddie!”

“Woof woof woof!!”

Eddie barked very loudly.
