Chapter 793
Tilura talked about why she felt lonely
“Do you know why you feel like that?”
“…Because you, Leo and Liza…are leaving…and so is my sister.”
“Oh…”
“Wuff?”
“You are talking about our plans to create herb fields in Range village…”
“Yes…”
“I see… Well, it is true that we will move away from here.”
As we would be relying on Weed Cultivation a lot, I would have to go, obviously… It would not be realistic to be going back and forth all of the time.
As for Claire, she wouldn’t even be in Range village all that much, as she would be looking for other villages and towns to sell the herbs. So that meant she would not be able to be in this mansion for too long.We were already starting to build a house in Range village, which would be like our base.
And so Tilura might feel as if she was being left behind.
I did wonder why she didn’t go to the main house with Mr. Ekenhart. But I suppose there were reasons for that.
“I know that what you and Claire are trying to do is important. And everyone isn’t leaving because they hate me… But I can’t help but feel sad when I think about it happening…”
“Yes, yes… I understand. Especially since you always spend so much time with Leo and Liza… And with even Claire leaving…”
“Yes…”
Tilura was smart for her age, and so she understood the significance of the work that was to be done.
And she knew that it was not because we disliked her.
But she still felt lonely with the idea.
“…That’s why you can’t concentrate on studying and training?”
“Because when I think about how everyone will be gone soon… I want to spend as much time with them as possible… I know that I can’t play all day, but… Rahle was gone up until today. And Claire is always so busy. That’s why I always think of playing…”
“So you won’t feel too lonely when the time comes?”
“I don’t know if I won’t feel lonely. But playing does help me forget a little.”
After thinking of it like that, it was no wonder she became mad when Claire rebuked her regarding her studies.
“I see. It would help distract you. Especially if it is fun.”
“Wou…”
I nodded in agreement.
Leo looked apologetic, as if she should have sensed it. And so she pushed her nose against Tilura.
I felt partly to blame as well…
I was only thinking about how welcomed we were by the villagers, and how I would have to hire people.
It was the same with Claire and Sebastian. There were many things to reflect on.
After all, if we moved to Range village, that meant Tilura alone would stay here. It should have been obvious to notice.
Not only that, but without realizing her feelings, we were constantly talking about the future and what we would do over there.
And were not thinking about how we would miss her… Well, I’m sure if we did realize, we would have felt sad…
