Episode 209: The Village Behind the Mountains Hathaler and Visitors

"Oh, Lent, are you there... who?

"Brother Ren... uh, who..."

That's what the voices of the two girls said as they opened the door.

One was a clear voice that seemed strong in will and the other was a sweet soft voice.

... That's the only voice you can give your young daughter, I thought, Lorraine.

And those two girls, seeing Lorraine's face at the same time, stop the words.

Because I realized that I was beyond the door, not Lent or Lent's family.

Lorraine wasn't sure who the hell she was in Lorraine either, so she didn't know what to say and couldn't open her mouth.

A moment of awkward time would pass, but Lorraine was much more adult, and she was quick to regain her posture.

"... sorry. Both Lent and the village chief and his wife are absent now. I'm Lorraine, a friend of Lent's..."

I answered that as a matter of course.

I wondered what was wrong with the language, but the girls look more like Frank, so I decided to do what I always do.

The two girls,

"A friend of Lent's? Oh, it's like I heard before that I do have a scholar friend in the city... oh, she's a woman!?

Of the two girls, the girl with slightly tighter eyes, with brown hair tied in two, opens her eyes and says so.

To that word, the other girl, the girl with the drooping eyes, who is making blue-haired brunettes so shortcut to her ears, is better.

"... With that said, you didn't say especially if you were a man or a woman... Still, wow, Lili. She's an amazing beauty. There's a lot of people in the city like this."

And I said it in a way that I said it.

"Fari! You know, you can relax like that a lot! I just talked to my aunt a little while ago and she said that Lent lives with this guy! No matter how much that Lent, this charm..."

"It doesn't look like you can resist. I want to touch a lot of things too..."

Fari, said the girl, reaches out to Lorraine fluttered.

I feel it stretches slightly to my chest, and I wonder what's wrong, Lorraine.

It was kind of a distracting pair.

But for now, we have to make sure the name is checked, and Lorraine opens her mouth.

"... uh, you two are friends of Lent, do you mind?

To that word, sharper eyes,

"Yeah, that's right. I'm Lili. So, it's better that I slept here..."

"It's Fari. Nice to meet you"

That's what I said.

Lorraine said to it,

"That's Lili and Fari. Nice to meet you... so, for now, I just wanted to say, this isn't my house. You can't let people in on their own more than you're tasked to be away. If Rent and the others need help, they'll be back in time, so why don't you ask them again then?"

And I said a dialogue based on duty.

Of course, I know Lent, and I'm sure there's nothing wrong with letting him in the house, but I can't do that on my own any more than I've been entrusted with.

And Lili,

"... um, yeah. I don't care who walks into anyone's house if it's a village... but it's not if it's a city."

say.

Lorraine said to it,

"Well, yeah. There are thieves over there. Just walking around the city is enough to hit a sled once a day."

"Eh. It's too dangerous. Fari has nothing to say in a day."

When Lili laughed and looked at Farri,

"Even I'll be fine if I pay attention... I guess"

And it doesn't seem to be all right at all, I say with my mouth shut.

Then, Lili,

"It's a city... because I've never been out of the village. I wonder what it's like. And Fari?"

Yes, I ask Fari.

Farri nodded to it and replied.

"I care too. Sometimes people out of the village bring souvenirs and stuff, but that's about it."

Lili nodded deeply at such Farri's dialogue, then turned to Lorraine's,

"Right......... Hey, Mr. Lorraine"

That's what I said, so Lorraine leaned her neck,

"... what?

That's what I asked.

Lili then said,

"I see Lent and the others are away. I came because I knew my aunts weren't here in the first place. I came just now because I met my aunt and she told me that Lent was here after a little talk. So that's fine... I'd like to talk to you for a second. We've hardly ever been out of the village, so we wanted to hear about the city..."

That's what I'm going to say.

Urban, is that Malt?

... the city?

and I think Lorraine, who lived in the Realmud Empire, which is even more urban, is certainly the case compared to the village.

No matter how rural Lorraine was asked by Lent, I guess it's big that they haven't sensibly grasped it either, just as they didn't think it was so far country.

"I don't mind talking... but you can't just let me in the house, can you? You might think it's hard on your head... with your personality."

Lorraine, who has a generally troublesome personality, but is also the type of person who is thoroughly restrained where he is held.

It's only a few things about academics, for example, and you want to respect this basic common sense.

However, this is the way I put it because I am also aware that it definitely feels like someone else is not accommodating me.

Especially if it's a village... there's hardly any keys, and if it feels like you don't care as much as who comes in, it's going to be too much detention.

But Lili,

"I know that too. So you just have to talk to me here. Look, there's a place to sit here."

That said, I refer to a chair made of Round Tai that is around the corner.

There are about ten of them lined up, and I see, I wonder if I have them so that I can sit down when I work on something outside.

Sure, whatever you want to get inside the house, it won't be a problem as long as we talk outside.

The rest is whether Lorraine herself wants to talk to the Lillis, but the answer to this is easy.

"Um, fine. I also wanted to ask about the life of this village. Lent doesn't really talk about living in the village..."

"Really? Brother Ren won't tell me about the city when he returns..."

Fari opens his eyes and says so.

Lorraine immediately understands why Lent doesn't talk about what happened here in Malt.

Because I've been a copper for ten years.

Lorraine doesn't think that's a bad idea, and for ten years, what she has done as an adventurer without losing her life and without incurring any great injuries herself, I think, is a great feat, but from Lent, she would say it's not the kind of accomplishment she can get her chest up in her hometown.

I can understand that feeling, too.

Even if we're going to have a conversation with Lili and the others, we need to think carefully about the area and talk about it...

Lorraine thought so, sitting on Marutai's chair, facing Lili and the others.
