Chapter 823
I talked with Sebastian
As I planned to live in Range village, it was better to see what life was like in a village, rather than a place like Ractos.
“Hmm, a village. What about Range village then? Since you are starting a business there.”
“Yes, but they all know who I am… And so it will not be the same. Also, I would like to see the other villages.”
Perhaps I was being difficult. But the fact was that I wanted to see something new.
Range village made wine, so the other villages probably made something else. And life would be different.
“Well, I am thinking of a place that I could go that I am not yet familiar with. I am sorry if this is a lot of trouble for you.”
“No, not at all. Besides, I happen to think it is a good thing that you wish to learn.”
I didn’t want them to think that I didn’t like Ractos or Range village. And I also didn’t want to create more work for Sebastian.
But though he furrowed his brows, he did not seem to mind.Indeed, he very much approved the idea of gaining knowledge.
“Yes… What about Bleiyu village? Since Ms. Delia is there.”
“Ms. Delia’s village… Yes, perhaps. But won’t it be the same as Range village, if I know someone there?”
“You could contact Ms. Delia in advance. Indeed…have you decided to hire her already?”
“Yes. Liza seemed happy to see her. And so I mean to hire here, either as a teacher or to work with the herbs. Whichever she wants.”
As I knew Ms. Delia and Mr. Kanat, I thought it would not be that different. But Sebastian had a plan.
“If you are decided, Mr. Takumi, then perhaps you could tell her directly? And say you want to confide in her about which position she will take.”
“Well, that would be a good enough excuse to go… But I think the other villagers will realize our connection to the duke, and treat us differently.”
I just wanted to see normal life in a village.
It was nice to be welcomed warmly…but it was not the same.
“When you contact Ms. Delia, you can tell her. That she should not tell the others who you are. And to tell that man who sold the konjac as well.”
“I see… I suppose I could then pretend like a regular traveler.”
“Though, they might get suspicious if they see you talking with Ms. Delia…”
“That’s true…”
“In that case…you could say you met by coincidence in Ractos… For instance, when catching that thief.”
“Thief… Ah, the thief that Ms. Delia caught.”
When we were walking through the town, a man had stolen something from a store and tried to run away.
And then Ms. Delia had jumped out and caught him.
“Yes. It would not look unnatural if you were the one she happened to help that time. Also, you could say that you ate the konjac, and like it. So you came to see how it was made. That should please the villagers very much.”
“I see… As long as Mr. Kanat cooperates, then it should work. Though, it would mean lying…”
Ms. Delia had helped the owner of the store, not me.
As I hesitated a moment, Sebastian looked at me with a sly grin…
