There was soone else who wanted to be hired as well
“That’s a little…troubleso. I cannot really imagine what it is like for nobles to deal with each other. But I’m sure there is a lot of guessing as to the other’s intentions… Ah, Sebastian?”
“Yes, Mr. Takumi. Lady Claire. I have just returned.”
When I turned around, I saw Sebastian bowing politely. When did he get here?
He must have been listening to us for so ti.
“Sebastian. How were things over there?”
“The fenrirs returned to the forest. They needed to get so exercise.”
“I see. Well, if Sherry is with them, then they shouldn’t take long.”
“By the way, Mr. Takumi.”
“Yes?”
“I was able to talk to the chief on my way back, and…”
“The chief?”
“Yes. I wanted to explain things to him again, and also apologize for our sudden visit. Otherwise, they will live in fear, wondering when we might co again. Especially since there is Leo and the fenrirs.”
“Hah…”
Well, it really was a big shock for them. They had to be assured that this was special, or they might assu that we would pay them a surprise visit again.
“Apparently, soone made a request through the chief… He wished to work under Lady Claire.”
“? But you are talking to Mr. Takumi?”
“Yes. Well…while it is related to you…he wants to work in the herb fields at Range village.”
“I see.”
“He did not apply for the job previously, but he made up his mind now after seeing Lady Claire. Also, he had recently started to feel as if he is not needed in this village. And he felt this even more strongly after speaking to Mr. Takumi and Ms. Delia.”
Started to feel that way after talking to us… Could it be that person?
“Who is it?”
“His na is Peter. I spoke to him a little. Apparently, he used to travel a lot when he was younger, and learned a lot about farming. And he used that knowledge to help Bleiyu village. Of course, these days, the younger people do everything. And so he doesn’t have much to do here.”
“Oh, but it was all because of Old Peter that the Bleiyu fields grew to this size. We would never feel that he is unneeded…”
“The chief said the sa thing.”
So it was Mr. Peter after all.
He had been talking about the next generation, but I thought it was mostly a joke.
But I suppose that he also felt that people would not like it if he said too much or interfered these days. And so he just sat on his chair and watched…
“Perhaps he wishes to try sothing new. To challenge himself.”
“Sothing new?”
“The herb fields in Range village… No one has done sothing like that before. They could not do it, I suppose. At least in this country, no one has been able to grow herbs like that.”
“Well, it is different from food crops… Fewer people would have even tried it.”
I had Weed Cultivation, so a certain amount of success was guaranteed.
Regardless, this was sothing that the duke was backing, and so it would likely be an attractive project for Mr. Peter.
“Yes, Old Peter used to say that before. He wanted to try and grow new plants in this village.”
“But he was not able to?”
“Yes, Lady Claire. Currently, this village gets its food from the fields and wood from the forest. They are satisfied with that. I think he knew that many people would not agree, and so it was difficult for him to suggest it.”
“I see…”
