731 Former Strongest, Sticking His Neck In Trouble
731 Former Strongest, Sticking His Neck In Trouble
To be honest, confusion was the closest thing to the feelings of the Somas, who preceded him in the name of Cecil.
If it's a word, it's like why you're here.
This is the first time that Soma and Aina have met Cecil.
But it's the first time we meet, so I think.
I was wondering why you've interrupted the conversation between the Somas with your obvious face.
"… the village chief"
As if she had heard the voices of the hearts of those Somas, turning to Cecil, a grunt that Sheila could clearly blame, Cecil gave me a stiff look as if she had returned it.
Then he turns a gaze like a snooze.
"Oh, um... suddenly I'm sorry. Well... I was so happy..."
"Glad to hear it, is it?
"Yes... it was only since Lord Sheila that I heard the words" help me, etc... "
"... um, it was noisy when I was there too"
I don't know if you're reflecting or if Cecil is depressed now, but there was a strange momentum earlier.
I guess it's easy to predict what would be noisy if the state stayed that way, and that happened when Sheila did.
"That's when you were supposed to be a caution stick?
"... um, we talked a lot and as a result, we were supposed to be cautious sticks, but then"
"That verse really bothered you…"
To see him shrink as he apologizes, apparently he is seriously reflecting.
However, Soma was concerned the other way around about how it looked.
Why did you rejoice in the words of help?
I guess that means that the words are not meant to be heard without much leeway.
And that also means nature and what substitute the troubles Sheila is involved in.
In a way, Soma exhaled one sigh into the situation as expected.
"Well... by the way, what brings you here in the first place? I assume you had some business to attend to?
That being said, Soma narrowed her eyes in order to identify Cecil's reaction.
We know that Cecil was listening to herself from when she showed up and from what she said.
Nevertheless, it is a wooden house which is not particularly soundproofed.
It was natural for the voices to leak outside, and the Somas weren't very aware of the area either.
So I've never been told that I was listened to... but the question is, how far were you listening and how are they going to get out?
Considering Sheila's condition and so on, she's probably somewhat of a trustworthy person, but the circumstances on the Soma side are the circumstances, and Veritas will have a lot of circumstances in Veritas.
And even more, given that there are definitely circumstances here, it's as if I can't read what Cecil would react to.
Depending on Cecil's reaction, we also had to think about what the Somas were going to do, and we watched how Cecil was doing carefully.
"That's right, I did have business with Lord Sheila...... isn't that disturbing me?
"What, are you going to say that now?
"... now"
"Oh, yeah, you are...... I'm so sorry......!
"No, it's almost like the story itself was over, and Sheila's hired here, isn't she? Then I think you have the right of priority."
"Well, I'd appreciate it if you could say that... then"
It was still somewhat frightening and so on, but Cecil coughed up one more thing so that she could re-compartmentalize it after looking around at how the Somas were doing.
Then, stand two fingers.
"There are two main reasons why I came to Lord Sheila. One is for that confirmation, because you heard about Daniela returning. I went directly to Daniela's house, but she seemed tired or asleep."
"... Well, Daniela is safe for now.... and Daniela's mother's illness has healed"
"Oh...... you still are. When I finally saw how it was, I obviously had a good complexion..."
Cecil has been looking this way as I say, but well it will.
It's easy to guess given the circumstances, such as who did that.
Most of all, if you weren't asked, you didn't do anything wrong, so there's no point in answering.
You gave up for not having a reaction, Cecil moved on to the next topic without being bound to that topic any further.
"The second is about them there. You heard Daniela bring a pair of strangers to the village, and you hear there was also the appearance of Lord Sheila there. So I was going to ask you if you knew anything... but you saved me a lot of trouble."
I thought I was going to ask you about this one from the beginning.
Nevertheless, it is natural to say so.
It means he's the village chief, and this is clearly a hidden village.
If a stranger shows up in a place like that, there's no way he won't listen.
I'm just not looking very alert, despite that, because in addition to Daniela's mother thing, I don't care how you look at it, I know Sheila, and so on.
It is a good thing because at least for now we are not going to be hostile, and there is no gain in being wary in vain again.
"So, I'm going to ask you frankly, who are you two there? At least there seems to be no doubt that he is not the only one..."
"... well, the two of you were my friends... different.... soma is mine... what?
"No, I'm in trouble even if they manage to say it there?
"... I'm Soma's mistress.... So, Soma is mine... Your husband?
"How did that happen...! I mean that stuff still going to pull......!?
"... naturally because it's not a story"
"Ho...... Something seems interesting, so I'm asking for more information there!
"You don't have to."
Soma exhales one breath, wondering if it would be serious air, or if the air flowed away that turned and weakened.
But I don't know Sheila, but at least I guess Cecil got on with the story now.
I indicated in that manner that I had no intention of questioning you.
Whether it's for a reason or not...
"That's unfortunate...... so it's not a substitute, can I ask you one thing?
I see. I thought this one was destiny, because even with a grin on his mouth, his eyes weren't the only ones laughing.
It would be possible if I wanted to say no... but it doesn't make sense.
I nodded honestly, even to gauge what I was thinking.
"Do you mind?
"Thank you. So with regard to what I said earlier...... how far is it included that you can help me?
"Hmm... how far is it"
"Yes it is. I was wondering about that light here as well, so I'd appreciate it if you could help me find out...... what about more than that?
"… the village chief"
Sheila called her name so that she could conquer Cecil, but Soma took control of it.
It's a sign of intent that I don't mind, and I nod back to Sheila, who tilted her neck just to say if it's okay.
"I agree with you that it saved me a lot of time. With regard to what Sheila couldn't say, would you be able to say it without a problem?
It was Cecil rather than Sheila who surprised the words.
I keep staring into my eyes and repeatedly blinking, not to mention unexpected.
"Oh, that's, you know... that's the thing, right?
"Well, that's what it is."
If I turned my gaze to Aina as I said, I just shrugged my shoulder that I should like it.
Nodding back at it, he turns back to Cecil, whose body is shivering plumply for some reason.
"Well... just in case..."
"Hmm... well, in short, I intend to cooperate fully. If you think it's okay to reveal all the circumstances, we're talking about."
"Is it true!?
"… the village chief"
"- Ha. But I'm sorry...... are you sure? I don't know what I'm talking about... but honestly, we're in a lot of trouble."
"Well, I guess. As of this village, it's obvious."
"Now that you know, is it..."
"At a time when Sheila is involved, the option of doing nothing does not exist."
".................. thanks"
"You're welcome, it is. Nevertheless, I'd rather ask the other way around, is it okay to reveal the circumstances and circumstances to our seniors? We should still know pretty much nothing about each other."
"I certainly don't know about you two, but it's enough for me just to be friends with Lord Sheila."
Apparently Sheila is pretty trusted by Cecil.
I don't know what the hell I did, but I probably did quite a few things.
If I turned my gaze to Sheila, she looked somewhat adept at it.
"... Well, you two can be trusted"
"Then it's no problem!
"Hmm... is that so? Well, if that's not a problem, I don't have anything to say... but can I ask you a lot of questions?
"How dare you!
"Bye -"
That's how I tried to open my mouth, it was about that moment.
The noise of the bell rang.
Obviously not normal, Cecil and the others began to panic.
"Oh, this is an alarm......!?
"Alarm, is it?
"... the sound of being sounded when an intruder comes out of the village or in a situation close to it"
"... for now, I know that something is going to happen first."
"Has this ever happened before?
"No... it should be the first time I know"
With that said, Cecil turns her gaze to see how the Somas are doing.
Well, that's what happened right after the Somas arrived.
It is natural to think that it might have something to do with it.
Rather, it wouldn't be strange to come at hostility, but what doesn't look like that is that Sheila has gained that much trust, or her qualities in person?
But now there's going to be something to do before you think about it.
"Hmm... Quickly, is there anything I can do to help us?
"Uh... is that okay?
"I'd rather not do anything here."
"I see... So can you come with me? Only Lord Sheila has the power to fight now in this village. And Lord Sheila, of course."
"... okay"
"Yes, sir."
Too soon really...... but this probably has something to do with the mess we have here too.
Perhaps he could feel it before listening, and with that in mind, Soma rushed after Cecil, who popped outside.
