I asked about the woman who I was curious about
“Hmm…”
“Is there sothing you are wondering about?”
Number 38… When tripping, I had thought that she hit her leg against the chair at first, but there was no sound, so it was probably not the case. Regardless, I was glad that she was not hurt.
“The woman who tripped in front of the building… I saw her when she was leaving, and she almost tripped again.”
“Indeed. But she seed very composed while asking questions, so I do not think she is like Ms. Gelda… But you never know with people.”
“Yes. And I couldn’t help but be curious…”
“Oh?”
“Don’t look at like that…I don’t an it in any strange way.”
“Oh, excuse . Sotis, people fall in love at first sight. So I thought that maybe…”
Why did Sebastian always say such things… Perhaps it was because of what Number 9 said earlier.
In any case, that was not what I ant at all.
“No. There isn’t really any reason that I can think of… Excuse . Do you think it would be possible to call her back?”
“It is possible. Hmm… Ms. Deria. You. Go and call Ms. Deria. She was the one with the hat.”
“Certainly…”
Sebastian looked at the list and had soone call her back.
There was almost sothing familiar about her. Regardless, I waited for the butler to return with her.
“Excuse …”
“Mr. Takumi. Here is the lady from earlier.”
“Thank you.”
After so ti, the two returned.
And I had the sa strange feeling. Like there was sothing odd about the way she walked.
“Umm… Did I do sothing wrong…?”
Apparently, Ms. Deria was worried that she was in trouble. She was holding her hat and looked at us as if frightened.
“No, it is nothing like that. I was just curious about sothing… Please don’t be alard.”
“I-I see… Oh…what is it that you were curious about?”
“Well, please sit down for now, and then we can talk.”
“Yes…”
I also moved back to my seat.
I had been observing her carefully, and was starting to understand what it was that seed strange about her…
“So…Ms. Deria. You are not from this town…”
“Uh, yes. I am from Vlayu village. It is near a forest by the main road that is east of Ractos.”
“Vlayu village…”
“Mr. Takumi. It is a village close to Ractos. The population is smaller than Range village, and they make a living through selling crops and wood.”
Hmm. A farming and forestry village then.
I nodded at Sebastian and tried to imagine what it was like.
If it was to the south and close to the forest…it must be the edge of the fenrir forest. Perhaps we could reach it if we traveled southeast…
“And that is why you were worried earlier, about the way that people would see you?”
“Many small villages are independent, and do now welco outsiders… Or so I am told. My village was not like that…otherwise, they would not have raised .”
“So you were not originally from there?”
“Uh, well…I am from there. I was found by a lumberjack in the village. I was raised there. But as for where my parents are from…I do not know.”
“Ah, I didn’t an to pry to that degree. Sebastian, are such things common in this area?”
“It is one of the reasons that the orphanage is full. Ractos is on the road that leads to the royal capital. And there is a lot of trade conducted here. And so many people co…and sotis leave their children for various reasons.”
