Chapter 857
Ms. Delia learned the reason
We were at the point where Bleiyu village would come into view soon. And so we decided to let the horses rest.
I decided to take the opportunity to explain to Ms. Delia what was going on with me and the others.
“We decided to change the way we talk on the way here… Because we want to come off like we’re old friends. After all, wouldn’t it look more natural?”
“I see… The message did say that you wanted to hide your connections with Leo and the duke. It was very surprising…”
“That way, the villagers should be able to act more casually around me. After all, I want to see how they normally live.”
“Indeed… They would be very nervous if they knew that you were related to the duke. Yes, I think it is a good idea.”
I still didn’t know how well I would be able to fit in. But I wanted to stick out as little as possible. Ms. Delia nodded with satisfaction.
“I don’t know how things are in Ractos, but Bleiyu is a very small village… So it is rare for anyone important to visit it.”
“Haha. I suppose so. And so I think you should talk to me in a more casual way as well, Ms. Delia. ”“Ah, that’s right. So it will not look strange. Though, I must say that I’m a little disappointed that I could not see Leo and Liza again.”
“Since I want you to be her teacher, I feel the same way… But she could not come this time. But she is being looked after at the house.”
“Hmm… Well, I suppose it is that time then.”
“Huh?”
“Well, I don’t know any other beastkin, so I cannot be sure… But it was like that with me when I was younger. We grow a little faster than humans. Apparently, it is because we are a hunting tribe.”
“I see…”
I did not even know if humans were the same in this world as they were in my old one. Even though most looked similar.
In any case, I had heard about the beastkin being hunters. It was survival of the fittest for them.
Even someone like Ms. Delia was stronger and more athletic than many humans in their prime.
“But I was raised in a human village. So there is a lot that I don’t know… But I did seem to grow faster than the other children. So I suppose it was the same for Liza.”
“Well…uh…yes. I think so.”
“I see. I did wonder about that. Regardless, yes, it was good that you did not bring her with you then.”
Ms. Delia looked satisfied that she had been right.
Though, I was surprised that she would talk about it so straightforwardly.
Well, it’s not that I thought she should be embarrassed or anything.
Besides, she was also a beastkin…
And at the end of the day, the important thing was that she was growing and that she was healthy…
