In Devon Village, she received dinner reception from the villagers at the order of village chief Eugene, and by the time she returned to the house she rented as an overnight inn, she was also late at night.
"Phew, everyone's been very kind and welcoming. I'm feeling good, and I'm getting hungry."
"I see. You didn't have to be too hard on me... Look, I heard about the mine, and this isn't a rich village originally."
I was just going to stay in Eugene's favor, but it turned out to be like a village festival.
I was so sorry that alcohol and hands-on cooking also appeared.
From the villagers, it would have been annoying for us to stay.
"Do you think that face was annoying for us to stay?
Meira, who was lying on the bed with Maribelle who had fallen asleep in the middle of the festival, looked me in the eye.
"Hmm? Well, maybe I thought about it a little..."
"Al isn't serious. That hospitality is the survival strategy of the villagers. We are connected to the lord of the destination when they abandoned the village. If you get along with those people, it's easy to get help in case you need it. That's why they gave me a great deal of hospitality."
"Even if you don't do that, I told you to help the people in need, and there's Marco, Maribelle's father..."
"Promises aren't that strong. The relationship breaks down in an instant."
Maira looked a little lonely and stroked Maribelle's head when she was asleep.
"That's why it's so much easier for them to have a nice reception. Not only the mouth, but also the profitable connection."
"I wonder if it's like that... because I'm stupid, I don't understand the world at all"
Mayla looked like an adult who couldn't be taken care of by a young girl, and she was walking around the world by herself, so she knew the world better than I did.
The Maira's eyes looked firmly at my face.
"Besides, you're the one who stayed here today, Finn, and you haven't been able to sort it out yet, have you? There was a rumor that Frick, the red swordsman, was Noah's fiancée, the daughter of Uncle Frontier."
From the moment I found out who Finn was in Yughhanots, Maira didn't hesitate to slash into me what she had tried not to think.
Fine, who changed her name and appearance and went to Yughhanots, often acted with her adventurous neighborhood daughter, who traveled with her both when she passed me and when she was in Invahannes.
"─!?
"It was a picture star. Unlike Al, the no-area I met in Devon Village, the young lady who seemed gorgeous and delicate was a woman that men liked."
Mayla's words pierce my chest.
The neighborhood I met in Devon Village seemed to have the opposite personality to me in every sense.
It seemed to me that she deeply loved Flick because of the attitude she showed me when I met her in Devon Village.
"I told you before, Finn, it's up to you."
"Uh-huh. That's right... Fine doesn't pick me. I thought I'd see you."
Fine would never choose me if I kept doing something terrible to Fine that long.
I understood it with my head, but my mind didn't understand it better.
When I thought so, tears seeped and my vision began to distort, so I turned down to avoid Mayla seeing my crying face.
"Love is what people do, so no matter how disadvantaged they are, they don't know until the end."
That's what Mayla said. She was pulling my cheek down with both hands.
"But... no, no, no, no."
Really? All I know about Alphine is rumors, but I think Al is a very attractive kid. "
"Really?
"Yeah."
In Mayla's words, I felt a little brave to meet Finn.
Apologize for what you've done so far, tell your honest feelings, which may be annoying, and hear his answer.
I have no choice but to accept the result.
When she made up her mind, she took Maila's hand, which was pulling her cheek.
"Tomorrow, I'm leaving for the city of Inverness."
"Oops. Well, then, we must go to bed early. Come on, Al's this way."
The next day, we thanked the villagers, entrusted the Mayor of Eugene with a letter from Maribelle to the Border Master, and left for the city of Invahanes, where Finn was.
