Mr. Wolf's remarks had a huge ripple.
I muttered in my heart with a feeling of half-throwing, that's right.
It has only minimal involvement with the outside world, and basically exchanges with people of the same tribe. For those who have lived in such a small community, the existence of a stranger is nothing but a foreign substance. Even if it is not accepted as a candidate for the next patriarch's wife, no one is the master. You would not have imagined it.
It's a fuss going down from above, or a shouting nose. The situation was out of control, and for the time being, the place was dissolved.
Of course, my personality will be restrained.
I was separated from Mr. Wolf and led to the patriarch's house.
The size of the room passed is about 8 tatami mats. The walls are stone and one small window is high. The furniture is simple tables and chairs, and beds. One storage box similar to Gyuri.
It's a normal room. Not a prison.
"Please use this room"
Since the patriarch himself guided me, there is no possibility of a mistake, but the question remains.
Can I not put me in jail?
"Um ... Is it really good here?"
My confused patriarch, facing me, sighed with a frown.
"I can't put the princess of the great nation in jail, but that's because, as a chief, I have a duty to protect my clan. Please understand that I'm not welcoming you."
"Yes"
I was exposed to sharp eyes and I answered with my back straight.
"I'll have one person to look after, so if you have any questions, ask that person. Come on, Lily."
When the patriarch turned around, a small girl came in.
Is probably as little as or below me. The straight hair cut at the shoulders is dark gray. The single eyes with slightly raised outer corners are honey-colored. The skin is tan, but it doesn't look healthy because it's so slim.
I get the impression of a Japanese form, partly because of the little change in facial expression and the ethnic costumes that resemble Japanese clothing a little. Of course, the colors are completely different.
Chief left the room after giving Lily some instructions. I don't know what to do and stay up. Lily is immobile near the doorway. An awkward silence fell into the room.
"Um ... Lily?"
"Yes"
When she shouted, Lily turned to me. No expression such as Noh mask is powerful. Despite being pressured, I keep talking.
"Where is Wolf?"
"I'm a prison."
Mr. Lilly said plainly in a voice without intonation.
`` Prison !? ''
I wonder if I'm in another room, and it's a jail.
I was surprised, but maybe he couldn't help thinking what he did. He arbitrarily brings in the stranger and says he is the main candidate. At this point, it seems that we have broken many rules.
"I can see you ..."
I was silently shaken and I drooped. Right.
Stood alone, but restless, so sit down on the edge of the bed. He glances at Lily, but he is still standing upright. I would like to talk and collect information if possible, but will you answer me?
"If you have no help, I'll lower you."
"eh"
"Because you are outside, please hit the door if you have a chance."
The voice isn't rough, but rather quiet, but you can't pinch your mouth.
Bad, I will go as it is.
"So ..."
`` Oh oh, are you sure you want to talk a little !? ''
After stopping in a hurry, Lily stopped moving. After a few seconds, nod. Unlike the expressionless face of the past, the eyebrows are slightly raised. Seems annoying.
But if you were down there, I would remain ignorant. In this case, there is no measure. I haven't decided exactly what to do in the future, but I knew that if I stayed in the room, nothing would be solved.
"If you like, on the chair ..."
"It's fine. So what is the story?"
There is no island to attach.
I was lightly broken, but I won't lose. I will not lose.
"I want to tell you about the Kuah."
The moment I said, the air was frozen. Wrinkles between the eyebrows are so sharp that the annoying face just before cannot be compared. Sharp eyes and tied lips. I feel clearly recognized as an enemy.
"Of course, I don't hear anything about medicines, how to make them, or anything that shouldn't be leaked to outsiders. That's not the case.
The endings gradually get smaller. While I was talking, I suddenly realized that, "Because the existence of the village itself is concealed, any small thing is prohibited from speaking." If the enemy is recognized, it is even more so. You don't know what the weakness is.
"... I'll explain tomorrow. I'll guide you through the village.
"Yes, no ..."
I was depressed and I was drooping, and I raised my face vigorously.
"I heard that from the head."
Lilly says she never seems convinced.
"Can you walk in the village?"
And with the guide's explanation? Sightseeing !?
I'm stunned, “I'm the chief of the decision,” says Lilly, with a disappointed face. I don't understand why. It is not the behavior of her, but the idea of the patriarch.
Chief also said he did not welcome me. Nevertheless, what is this response?
Lilly came out of the room while I was worried.
I was left alone, leaning on my back and lying on the bed. It's ill-behaved, but nobody looks at it anyway.
"Is there something wrong with the Kuahs ...?"
Raise questions.
I couldn't keep up with the speed of deployment, and I was washed away, but now I have many questions. In the first place, what is the reason why Wolf tried to be myself?
Wolf talked to me about bandits and conservatives aiming at medicine. But is that really it?
It is no exaggeration to say that Wolf took this time as a forced measure. It was too wild to say that it was a coincidence to see me.
If you don't do that, you may not be able to become the next patriarch, as he will be held accountable.
"We have technology and knowledge. Nevertheless, I absolutely don't want to be able to do anything without being trapped deep in the mountains and waiting for it to slowly die. '
Wolf's words in the cave come to mind.
Speaking of which, he said, "perish." At first I wondered if it was pointing to danger by bandits, but not. Because there is an introductory statement that you should go back to the mountain without doing anything, the case of bandits will not matter.
Rather, conservatives claim that they will fall away to escape the dangers of bandits, but why do they die?
"... I thought about it and I didn't understand it anymore."
Put your hand on your forehead and close your eyes. My head does not work properly due to fatigue.
There is a stuffy feeling in the back of your throat. Will this discomfort disappear if I receive an explanation tomorrow?
"……ow!?"
Katto hit something on his forehead. I jump into pain.
Looking around while holding down the forehead, a nut similar to an acorn is rolling on the sheets. This?
Is it a beech tree nearby?
I looked up while thinking so, and the eyes of the black bird stopping at the edge of the window met.
"…………Ah"
Why a bird?
I was amazed, but noticed the paper tied to the bird's feet, and finally came to a pass.
That child is a crow bird!
Get up in a hurry and reach out.
Are you friendly or trained? The bird stays in my hand without fleeing. He struggled, untied the letter with one hand, and opened it.
