The "viscount" bit is probably because of the Medal Satou received.
National Orders/Medals quite often have a "virtual" Noble Rank attached, which can be ...quite high... depending on the grade of the achievement and customs of the nation handing them out.
It was mentioned in the chapter where he got it that the Medal equated him to "the head of a major Noble House"
The Rank attached to the Dragonslayer Medal he got is probably Viscount. Which is "a bit" higher than his formal rank of Baronet.
Someone Polite and Formal, and aware of him having received that Medal, would address him by the higher rank, thus Viscount.
