I succeeded in changing the subject
“I see… I never thought about konjac like that before. However…I hope you don’t think that we’re really going to show you everything in terms of how it is made?”
“That is fine. It is not that I want to know how you make it. As I am thinking about buying it anyway.”
“Hmmm… Well, it seems like you will be staying here for so ti. So tomorrow or the day after, I will tell soone to negotiate with you.”
“Thank you.”
For the village, if there was a possibility that their products could sell well, they would be highly interested… Or so Sebastian said. Bleiyu village was not poor, but they would still welco any business that would enrich their lives.
Regardless, it seed like I was able to avoid talking about myself. Ms. Delia had thought about explaining things to the chief first. But in the end, it was decided that we should talk one on one.
Well, I would have to talk to a lot more people, when managing the herb fields. And so this was good practice for in terms of setting the pace and guiding the conversation.
Obviously, I didn’t an to fool others for my own gain. Most of what I said was Sebastian’s idea. And so I could not boast…
“Hmm…”
“…”
There was silence for so ti, and I had to wait nervously, wondering if he really believed or not. Perhaps I should have just told him the truth.
I really was not suited for this kind of thing.
“I’m back, Mr. Takumi. Chief. Here is the tea… Ah! You must rest!”
“Oh, Ms. Delia.”
“Delia… Thank you. I just thought it would be rude to be lying down the whole ti…”
“But Mr. Takumi just said that he didn’t mind? Now, please lie down…”
“Mm…thank you, Delia. You are so kind…”
The chief had been gritting his teeth. So he was likely actually in pain. And so he obeyed and allowed Ms. Delia to help him lie down in the bed again.
“Oh, chief. You flatter !”
“Agh! Hey, Delia…stop! Ahh!”
“Ah, Ms. Delia. I don’t think you should move him so…!”
Perhaps due to being embarrassed, Ms. Delia started to shake the chief violently.
The sudden movent caused the pain in his back to increase, and the chief let out a shriek, and I had to intervene so that she would stop.
As Ms. Delia’s ears and tail were moving, it was clear that she was happy. But perhaps making her happy was not a very good thing.
“Hah… Finally things have settled down.
“…I’m sorry.”
“Well, please be careful in the future…”
After calming down, Ms. Delia helped the chief sit up so that he could drink so tea.
Still, the fact that he continued to talk to her in a soft voice showed how genuine his affection for her was.
I suppose she was like a grandchild to him.
Now that I thought about it, the son and his wife had said that he would be happy to see Ms. Delia, and would recover more quickly…
Well, she certainly did not help with his recovery, but he did seem more cheerful around her…
