178. Welcome to the mayor's house.

I arrived at the village chief's house, so when I knocked on the door, the village chief came out after a while.Then the village chief, who saw me, looked surprised.

"!? What's wrong, young lady? Could it be that you turned around on the way?"

... I see, Yurika said she was coming back too soon, but it seemed that she was worried differently because she came back too soon.

No, I brought you to the city safely.

When I said that, I looked at Yua who was behind me, and I looked at her like I was looking behind me.

I, hello.

"... hello. I feel like it's too early to come back, but did you come here as soon as you got back to the village?"

No, I've been here since you had lunch with Yurika-san.

Having said that, the village mayor was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his mind.

"... I see. For now, Ardin has left it in the city?"

Yes, I've handed it over to the guards.

"Well, for now, come up inside and follow me."

I was told to go with the village chief and was guided to the room.

"I'll be getting ready for you. Sit down and wait for me."

The village chief said that and left the room.

It looks like you're going to be waiting here for a while.

"That's right, but the village chief may have been easier to talk to than I thought..."

"Then, you seem to be fine." Don't be nervous. I think you should feel free to talk to me as long as you respond properly. "

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

Thinking of that, the sound of knocking on the door echoed in the room.

I'm ready, so can I come in?

Then I heard the voice of the village chief.Because I thought it would take a little longer, I came back earlier than I thought and replied with a little surprise.

"Yes, please."

Then the village chief came into the room with a warm drink.And leave the drink you brought in front of us.

Thank you very much.

"Oh, thank you."

Then, when we had finished putting our drinks away, the village chief sat down in his chair.
