Chapter 860
We were taken to the place where we would be staying
After being reminded, Ms. Delia finally remembered that she was holding a serpent in her hands. And she ran off in order to deliver it to the old men of the village.
“Hah, how rowdy… I’m sorry, Mr… Takumi.”
“No, not at all. It’s nice to see her like this.”
“She is adored by everyone in the village. She cheers everyone up.”
“I can imagine that.”
It was not a bad thing to be a little rowdy. It was much louder in the mansion. Especially after Rahle and the Cockatrices arrived.
“Still, it is quite impressive.”
“What is?”
“That Delia wanted to be patted like that. She tends to not like having her ears touched.”“I see…”
I was starting to wonder if Nicholas was right, and Leo had taught me the right way to pet her…
“Oh, we shouldn’t be standing around and talking here. Yes, you should take the horses to the stables. They will be looked after.”
“Thank you.”
“In any case… Normally, a guest would stay with the chief, but it so happens that there is an empty house right now. So you will stay there. We don’t have an inn, but it is kept clean so that we can receive people at any time.”
“Yes, thank you.”
And so Mr. Kanat guided us through the village.
First, we left the horses at the stables. At first, they said they would take care of them for us, but as we felt bad, it was decided that Nicholas would visit them a few times a day and take care of them.
As for where we would be staying, an important guest would likely stay in the spacious house of the chief. But as we were to be treated like ordinary travelers, we would stay in an empty house instead.
Aside from that, we would be able to buy ingredients to cook with.
I was happy that they weren’t putting too much effort into welcoming us, and would leave us alone most of the time.
“At first, Delia wanted you to stay with her… But it would look odd, since she lives alone. Even if you might want it that way, Takumi.”
“No, no. Not at all..”
“Well, I suppose you have someone else? In any case, we don’t want any strange rumors to spread. So you will stay in the house.”
“Regarding that… I heard that someone found Ms. Delia when she was a child. I thought that she would be living with them.”
“Ah, the old woodsman. Yes, he did look after her, and they lived together…but he died a few years ago. He was old, after all. And he had no wife or children. But everyone helps each other here, and she is able to live alone.”
“I see…”
Somehow, I was reminded of Liza’s situation. Though, unlike Liza, she had the other villagers here. And it seemed like she lived happily and had everything she needed.
“In any case, please use this house freely. You can sleep upstairs and eat downstairs.”
“Thank you.”
The house that Mr. Kanat led us to had two floors.
It was carefully maintained, and there was no dirt anywhere… Or perhaps it had been cleaned by Ms. Delia and Mr. Kanat when they heard of our visit.
There was a kitchen on the first floor, and a table where we could eat.
There were five small rooms on the second floor, which had simple single size beds and chairs.
