Accel: "I see... Do they really need to place the personalities in the information??? Okay, I will read it again..."

(The Ishikawa Family --- Noble Household --- Baronet Family)

Family Name: Ishikawa (石川)

The Ishikawa family is a noble baronet household renowned for their expertise in potion making. Their potions are famed for their efficacy in providing various buffs and debuffs, sought after by both adventurers and nobles. The family is known for their kindness and generosity, often providing potions at no cost to those in dire need.

Despite for there renown potion making, they rank below since the 3 generations. The reason is that, the family generation belongs to the Freedom Fractions. Despite many good deeds they did and trying to promote higher social status, they were often rejected by higher status like Viscount or Count Rank.

But, they don't feel sad about it, as long as they are able to help the common people and the players for the need of potions for buff and debuff. The Ishikawa Family is trying to also develop new potions that will give permanent attributes instead of temporarily ones, if they develop this successfully there will be a high chance for there family to be promoted after few generations from the past.

(Rivershire Town Gate Entrance)

After riding the magical carriage together with Sir Jonathan, we were stop for a checkpoint in the entrance. After few minutes later, we were allowed to enter the town. The Rivershire Town was a peaceful and have a vibrant view of its culture, most of the shops were filled with potion selling with different types of effects and effectiveness.

Accel also saw one of the branches of the National Association, meaning he could do some quest while being here for roughly a few months serving the Ishikawa Family. After another few minutes later, we have arrived the entrance gate of the Ishikawa Family.

(Ishikawa Family --- Modern & Traditional Japanese Mansion)

After passing through the Ishikawa Family Gate Pass way, the magical carriages head towards near the entrance of the Ishikawa Family Mansion. Upon arrival, Accel and Sir Jonathan walk out the magical carriages and was escorted by the butlers and maids of the Ishikawa Family.

(Ishikawa Family Mansion Walkway)

When the butlers and maids open the big twin doors, we were greeted by the Ishikawa Family Head, his wife, and his daughter. So, my suspicious is already correct, it seems Sir Jonathan must not be an ordinary with the background of just a representative of a certain noble house, he must be some high-rank noble house he is serving.

The Ishikawa Family guided us to the room and talk things about the things they need to tell. After all the discussion, the Ishikawa Family accepted student Accel to become the butler of his daughter "Ishikawa Sakura Midori" or in short "Miss Sakura or Sakura-sama".

So, starting today I will stay at the Ishikawa Family Mansion between 3 to 4 months. According to Sir Jonathan, Miss Sakura is also a student of the National Mastery Academy. In truth, this will be troubling the reason is Accel don't want to let his friends know about this including also those close to him.

So, Accel asked a request if allowed to disguise himself to prevent people he knows about this. When Sir Jonathan was about to accept, the Head of the Ishikawa said...

Sir Ishikawa Haruto Kazuyoshi: "No need, Accel. We have potions that is able to disguise yourself, but I am wondering... Why do you want to disguise yourself... But, if you are not eager to share, then we won't press this matter."

Accel: "Thank you, Lord Ishikawa."

Sir Ishikawa Haruto Kazuyoshi: "You're welcome and drop the Lord thing, you can just call me Sir Ishikawa."

Accel: "Understood, Sir Ishikawa."

(Few Hours Later)

After that, Sir Jonathan and Sir Ishikawa created the contract for student Accel. For proof, if he manages to complete after 3 to 4 months. After this events, Sir Jonathan left with the magical carriages and this is the start as a student of NMA and becoming a young temporarily butler of the Ishikawa Family...
