Chapter 822
There were a lot of things that I wanted to know
“Uh, is this wood fine?”
“Kyau. Kyau.”
“She says something wider would be better!”
“Wider, huh…”
“Mr. Takumi. I will have some wood purchased from Ractos tomorrow.”
“Indeed… And it will have to be cut down so it won’t be too big for Sherry.”
We had picked up a branch in the garden, and washed and trimmed it a little, so that it could be taken into the house.
However, Sherry seemed to prefer flat and wide boards. So something like planks used in building would be better. And so Claire decided to buy some in Ractos.
Regardless, after that issue was taken care of, we had dinner in the garden, and I trained.After I took a bath, I returned to the room and thought for some time.
About the herb fields, to be precise.
As I had met Claire as soon as I came to this world, and had lived with the duke’s people, there was so much that I did not know.
Some things I could just ask Ms. Lyra and Ms. Gelda, but I also thought it would be good to witness it for myself…
“Papa? Are you thinking?”
“Wuff?”
“Ah, sorry.”
I had forgotten that I had been patting Leo and Liza. And so I recommenced, while returning to my thoughts. Thoughts of this world…
As for life here, I had seen some of what it was like in Range village. But as I was like an honored guest, it was not really the same.
I wanted to see people acting more naturally… Well, I suppose I would have to ask Sebastian about it tomorrow…
—
“Hmm. You want to see how normal people live…?”
The next day, I talked to Sebastian about it after breakfast.
Liza and Leo were playing with the Cockatrices… while Tilura was still studying.
Apparently, she was interested in the Cockatrices who were eating the bugs again, as they were currently walking around the plants in the garden.
I was a little worried that she might try eating them as well. But Leo would probably stop her.
“Yes. Of course, I am quite happy here, where I am well taken care of. But it does mean that I know little of how other people live.”
If I was going to start hiring people, I had to be able to build proper relationships with them… And they will not all be people like Ms. Lyra.
“Most nobles would think that it is not necessary to be able to understand your employees… But I see that you are more similar to His Grace in that way.”
“Really? Well, he certainly doesn’t care as much about differences in stations…”
When I was with Claire and Mr. Ekenhart, I sometimes forgot that they were nobles. Well, Claire definitely had the air of one, but she would sometimes say things that were rather strange.
“Nobles are people who stand above others. That is what most believe. But nevermind them. If you wish to know more… Why not visit Ractos and observe?”
“Hmm… That is fine. But it is a big, busy place. I am more curious about life in the villages.”
