Mr. Peter’s interview began
“Well, there is no need to be so nervous. We are not going to eat you or anything.”
“That doesn’t sound like a joke when there are fenrirs nearby…”
“Ah… Uh, in any case, we just want to talk. Just act like that ti when we talked with Ms. Delia.”
However, with Sebastian and Claire here as well, it was difficult for him to relax.
Regardless, I went straight to the subject.
“So, Mr. Peter. I heard that you want to work at Range village?”
“Y-yes. Um…I believe that it will be the first ti growing herbs in a field like that. And since this village is stable without …”
“I see…”
“And it might be troubleso to do new things in this village. Of course, they did not say anything to my face, but… I really do feel that I am no longer needed here.”
“I don’t think that is the case. Ms. Delia was telling us about how much you have contributed to this village.”
“I have only just arrived yesterday, but I also doubt the villagers think of you like that… Considering how much you have accomplished.”
“Hah… Well, they are kind. Perhaps I am overthinking it…”
“Yes, you definitely are. But while I’m sure they would be happy to keep you, I understand you still want to work with herbs?”
“That is the biggest reason. And this is sothing big…that the duke is involved in.”
After all, if all he wanted to do was sothing new, then there were other things he could do.
“I have traveled to different lands in the past. Though, it was decades ago… Before Delia ca here.”
“When you were young.”
He would have been the sa age as or Claire back then.
“Yes. Um, embarrassingly, back then…I was young and foolish. And I thought that I could make a change in this world…”
“I think everyone thinks that. You feel invincible. I suppose the growth makes you feel special.”
“…I don’t relate to that, but I see that you felt that way too, Mr. Takumi.”
As long as such thoughts did not go in a strange direction, you would eventually realize how things are.
Sebastian was also nodding as if he understood. I might have to ask him about it later.
“Well, as I traveled around, I realized how ignorant I really was… Still, I took the knowledge that I had accumulated in various villages, and decided to use it to help Bleiyu.”
“Well, it seems like everything worked very well in the end?”
“Yes, in the end. Still, I realized how safe I could travel on the duke’s lands. But when I went outside of it…”
He paused and looked at Claire.
“Do not mind . Whatever you say will not leave this room. Even if it is insulting against other nobles, the fault is theirs.”
“Ah, uh…yes. Well, in other territories, there would be so many monsters on the roads. And so places even had bandits who would rob travelers and rchants. Of course, I am not saying that it was this way in every other territory, but…”
