Keep walking on the gentle slope.
Grain and vineyards on both sides are lush and green.
In the distance are mountains that are linked to the blue sky. No human figure is found at the moment. Perhaps you're working in a field somewhere far away, just hiding and not seeing it.
One and a half months from the Kingdom of Avalonia.
I was finally at Nordende.
It looked like nine years ago, but I noticed that the size of the field had changed slightly. When I came last time, I felt that the area of the field was a little narrower, but it has been nine months since. The fields may spread.
When the wind blows softly, the smell of the soil and the smell of the grass tickles the nostrils.
Squint at the comfort of the wind and admire the scenery that stretches out.
If you go straight ahead, you will see a private house. And behind that is a flower garden that I once admired.
This is the place I dreamed of and sought during my trip. I feel my heart pounding just by thinking so.
He cut his gaze from the beautifully spread vineyard and walked back with hemp bag.
Then, a woman wearing work clothes came out of the vineyard.
It has tan skin and red hair wrapped behind it in Valletta. He is about 16 centimeters tall and has no idea of his physique because of his thick work clothes.
A red-haired woman walks with her crisp red eyes facing him. His sharp gaze seemed to indicate the strong will of women.
I'm awkward to be silent for now, and I'll try to say something here to show my lack of hostility.
"……Hello"
"...... Hello. In, you Who?'S a face not seen'm around here, but I do not be helped in the mood and can stand Innovation Bo in front of people of the field from a little while ago."
A woman who glares with eyes as if looking at a suspicious person.
When you see the greetings returned in a regular manner, it seems that you are not that bad. Her tone is a little harsh, but from her perspective I'm a suspicious person in front of my field. I think there is no help for it. Newcomers in rural villages are usually greeted this way.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'm not a suspicious person who wanted to live here."
In a slightly gentle tone, she muttered "Hmm."
"... black hair and black eyes"
"eh?"
I couldn't hear her muttering words, and I thought back.
"It's nothing. Where are you from?"
"From the Kingdom of Avalonia"
She is not reluctant to her attitude, but she will be suspicious if she stops here.
"Are you from a far distance? Well, apparently it looks like a thief, and I'll guide you to the village mayor's house. Ask the village mayor for details."
"Help"
Nine years ago, I hadn't visited the village mayor's house. It is encouraging to have someone to guide you.
"If a person who doesn't see is wandering alone, everyone is anxious and there is no help for it. Follow me."
She shakes her hand as if nothing, and turns around and starts walking.
I silently follow behind, thinking she's a silly woman.
As I walked behind the woman, I saw a private house lined with brown roofs. The place where the house is solidified is probably the center.
As you move away from it, private houses are few and sparse.
Unless the population has exploded since last time, the number will probably be several hundred.
After a while on the dirt road, it passes by the man who pushed the cart.
"Oh, Aisha. Who is that man?"
Naturally a man who doesn't know me stops and asks.
This woman is Aisha.
"I wanted to live here."
"Okay. That's unusual. See you!"
"Thank you!"
He bows down to a man who is laughing casually.
"Oh, you're a polite person."
The man looks slightly eclipsed and smiles brightly.
I was a little afraid that my senior relationship in the adventurer age was soaked. Despite being a newcomer, it may not have been a disciple of a craftsman, but it may have been firm.
"... I wish I could get permission from the village chief."
Aisha, please wash away.
It seems to be a clear type.
"Well, this person is okay. If you get permission, please let me know."
The man laughed cheerfully and pulled the cart to see if he was used to Aisha.
◆ ◆ ◆
After being taken by Aisha a few times in a similar way, he arrived at the center of a private house. I feel the gaze of men who work in the office and women who are hanging laundry, but I'm used to it. This kind of thing was common in adventurer guilds.
It seems that newcomers are worried about adventurers and villagers alike.
It doesn't feel like a rogue adventurer, so it feels better, but it's uncomfortable to see it wrapped around.
If Aisha didn't accompany him, he would have been seen with a more strange glance.
People walk as little as possible to their eyes.
Now let's take a look at the surrounding scenery.
I feel that the number of flowers that can be planted in the village is slightly more gorgeous than nine years ago.
Some houses have flowers in warm colors such as red and yellow, while others have blue and purple and cool colors.
It's fun just to see that it's just a house.
That house seems to be dexterously expressing the color change with gradation. How do you plant it?
Nordende should have beautiful flowers. This is the only place where you can grow flowers in your home so carefully, even though they are not food you can eat.
"This village is always blooming and beautiful."
"Have you always been before?"
When I muttered while looking at the flowers in a private house, Aisha walking ahead glanced at me.
"Only once nine years ago"
"Nine years ago?"
When I say so, Aisha shouts a little loud.
It is surprising that she always has a calm atmosphere.
"Yeah, so surprised?"
"No, nothing. Sorry."
When I asked, Aisha went straightforward and accidentally.
No, I'm really worried about it, even though it's nothing. Did I do something when I visited nine years ago? I can't remember well.
"I've arrived. This is the village mayor's house."
I just wanted to ask Aisha why he was surprised, but he just arrived at the village mayor's house.
A large private house built a little away from the center. On the back, you can see what seems to be a food store.
The lush lawn grows around the house, and it seems comfortable to lie down.
"Here?"
"I'll get in right away."
Shortly after I prepared my heart, Aisha knocked at the door of the house.
...... What is it? I'm nervous even though I don't meet high-ranking people. Is it possible for the head of the village to live without permission? I feel that I was less nervous when fighting demons.
Shortly after, a female voice was heard from inside.
"I'll go in!"
Aisha opens the door and enters without hesitation. Don't you have to wait for someone inside to open the door?
"Please come early"
Aisha says so, so he is still confused.
"Oh, after all Aisha-chan"
A beautiful woman with wavy blond hair and jade eyes greeted us.
I think he's an old man, but he's a wife who keeps a beautiful look that doesn't seem to decline.
…… I've seen it somewhere. Is it just me?
"Fiona, you're not the age I'm going to have?"
"I've been watching my daughter play since I was a child, is Aisha a child forever?"
A wife laughing at Aisha's protest.
Aisha was a little embarrassed to see if she couldn't return. Apparently, she has a partner who can't get her head clear.
"So, you seem to have a customer you don't see today?-Could you introduce her boyfriend?"
When calm down, his wife's jade eyes turn here.
I don't think I should be my girlfriend, but it's going to be on my butt.
"No, I'm from the Kingdom of Avalonia because I want to live in this village."
"Well, I came from afar. I'll hear my husband, the village chief, for more details.
"Yes"
She is now a home than she is. I was led by my wife to the back room to talk to the mayor.
