When you reach the room at the back of the house, the door opens a beat earlier than Wolff reaches for.
As expected, the chief appeared from inside.
"Thank you for your effort"
Invited inside with a polite greeting, followed by a bit puzzled. As I stepped into the room, the peculiar scent of herbs blew my nostrils.
The room was full of things.
Three rows of shelves divided into a fine grid form a block, blocking one side of the wall. Small bottles are lined up on one shelf, and one shelf is rolled with paper wrapped around a string. The other is in the shape of a drawer, so the contents are unknown.
On the other wall, dried plants of unknown type are suspended upside down. The desk beneath it had old books stacked on the edges, and in the center were tools resembling Yakuken.
"I'm sorry it's messy.
Chief pulls the chair, which was avoided at the end, and dusts it with the back of his hand. I was encouraged to sit down and looked up at Wolf.
Mr. Wolf, gently pushing on my shoulder, stands behind me diagonally in a chair.
"Let's clear up a little more, shit father. It's not a good room to invite a pretty girl, this is it."
"I'm still a little cleaner."
"I can't find any traces of effort."
They both wrinkle between the eyebrows and have no afflicted faces, but the conversation is cheap. The voice is not as steep as words, and the atmosphere is soft.
I only knew the first day of coming to this village, but I imagined a more intimate relationship, but if you remove the position of succession with the patriarch, they look like ordinary parents and children.
I was nervous, but I relaxed my shoulders. He sighed a little, and his eyes met with the patriarch. When he corrected his posture in a hurry, his honey-colored eyes, which had deeply wrinkled eyes, narrowed slightly. Before he realized he had laughed, he returned to his frown.
"Are you used to living in the village?"
The chief talked to me while tilting the jug and pouring it into a cup.
"Yes. I'm not very dexterous, so there are many mistakes, but I'm helping Lily, so I'll manage to do it."
"Lilly is a good boy"
"Really"
While receiving the cup of water, I nodded vigorously.
Lily is a very good boy. I don't understand her expression, but she's a very gentle, serious and caring woman.
"I'm sure she's in love with you, so stay tuned."
Yes, I hesitated trying to nod.
I don't want to get along. Instead, I realized that it was irresponsible to nod to these words.
"... Dad, you're mean."
Mr. Wolf muttered in a low voice, placing his hand on my shoulder as he descended.
"Stop trying this child"
Looking up, Wolf is staring at the patriarch with sharp eyes. The opposing patriarch showed no impatience, picked up the cup lying on the tray and poured water. Drink it slowly and open your mouth.
"Do you say?"
"... what is it?"
"I don't think that a man who twists like you easily believes in a person. Is he a trustworthy person or a suitable vessel, and how many times does he reach his own passing score? Must have tried it. ''
Different.
It wasn't a question, but he was so stuck that he bit his lips. A glimpse of Wolfe's disappointment, the patriarch sighs.
"... but that's no reason my rudeness is allowed."
The patriarch who put the cup bowed down to me, sorry.
"Such"
After shaking my head, I hold my hand on my knee.
"Rudeness is the same for me ... no, it's worse. I'm trying to do you worse."
"terrible?"
Mr. Wolf repeats my words in a confused voice. The patriarch didn't say anything, he just stared straight at me.
"I cannot be the Lord of the Kuah"
I heard a breathtaking sound from the neighbor. But I didn't look there and kept saying.
"If you step into your territory and stir at your own discretion, you can only go away. I can't stop. "
"... even if you ask why?"
After a long silence, the patriarch opened his mouth.
I wonder if I'll be too high to be playful, he won't betray my expectations and won't even mess up my voice. The questioned person seems to be upset.
"Is the reason" inability to be the Lord of the Kuah "or" inability to stay here "?
"Either way, first of all, let's talk about the former. It's strange that I say, my clan has a fairly talented staff. There are many royal aristocrats, but aren't we worth it? "
"No. I think it is worth not being able to get gold coins high."
I kept telling my eyes from the eyes that I tried, and I told you.
"I'm not" I don't want to be, "but I can't be the Lord of the Kuahs."
He heard my words and was astonished as if emptied. Until now, he couldn't pick up any shaking pieces, but his expression collapsed slightly.
"If you want you, neither gold coins nor jewelry will be meaningless. All you need is a long time to build sincerity, understanding and trust, but I've already been I can't give it. "
"... Is that related to why I can't stay?"
"Yes"
I nodded to Chief 's question.
"An epidemic has been confirmed in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Vint. It must be stopped before it can spread throughout the Kingdom of Vint."
A crow's news that woke me up in a quiet everyday life. Disease outbreak. One of the flags I was afraid of stood up.
If so, I can't even get lost.
Even if everyone kneads to save him and flaps his limbs here, nothing can be saved. If you don't move now, you just drop everything.
"disease……?"
The suspicious patriarch's voice overlaps with Wolf's embarrassment.
I don't explain anything to Wolf, if you think about it. Wolff is also secretive, but I'm usually too.
sorry.
While muttering words of apology in my chest, my gaze remains fixed in front.
After apologizing or regretting.
"I know it's a wonderful wish, but please sell your medicine."
I said so and bowed deeply.
