Chapter 829
I was relieved that Claire wasn’t too sad
“Ah, by the way. How is Claire?”
“Are you worried about Lady Claire then?”
“No, well…I haven’t talked to her since she was turned down…”
“Well, she is fine. She was feeling a little down at first. But she quickly returned to normal. I saw her talking happily with Lady Tilura and Sherry.”
“I see. But then again, she didn’t ask too strongly the other time I went to Range village with Leo. So I am sure it is fine.”
“It is likely because of all the complaints she heard when going to the forest, that time she found Sherry. While it is not as dangerous this time, she will still not force her will.”
“Haha, of course.”
Back then, she had wanted to go such that she became angry with Sebastian and the others. But then he lectured her later, when I wasn’t around.
And so she would not do the same thing again.
“Ah, do you think I could talk to Phillip now? I would like to say something to him before we go to Bleiyu village.”
“At this hour, he will either be on patrol or training… But I will call him. I am sure your business is important.”
“Yes, thank you.”
I wanted to talk to him about what we would do after arriving in the village.
After all, we needed to both act like normal people when we arrived.
Preferably, we would be friends…I think? Since we were not too different in age…
“In the end, I think being friends will look the least strange.”
“However, treating you as just a friend, Mr. Takumi…”
“You’re too stiff, Nicholas. A guard should be flexible during such situations.”
“But it is difficult for me…”
As we talked, it became apparent that Phillip was in agreement, but Nicholas was a little uncomfortable with the arrangement.
While it was important, it was not very serious. And so we drank tea and talked leisurely.
Liza had become friends with Cokka and Trice, and was now playing with them and Sherry and Rahle.
Leo was next to me and taking in the sun.
“Well, being friends really does seem to be the best way. We are all men, after all.”
“Yes. And if we are not careful, we could look intimidating. That will put the villagers on their guard.”
“By the way, Nicholas. You really should relax more. That is probably why you are still single.”
“…You are one to talk, Phillip.”
“Oh? Are you unaware then? You know…I can’t keep them off of me whenever I visit Ractos.”
“Uh. I have never seen anything like that…”
Suddenly, the conversation had gone in a very different direction.
While Nicholas glared at him, Phillip argued that he was quite popular. But I had never seen any proof of this.
Well, he had well proportioned features which matched his long hair. And perhaps women would like a reliable, soldier type like him.
You would think so, anyway.
And yet, there were no hints every time we visited Ractos together…
