Chapter 167

The Ramogi was Distributed Throughout the Village

“So, what happened to the sick parents?”

“The Ramogi medicine took effect as soon as they drank it. They are now feeling better, and went with Mr. Hannes in order to help distribute the medicine throughout the village.”

“Your medicine really is impressive, Mr. Takumi. Bed-ridden one moment, and walking around the next.”

“Apparently, his parents hadn’t been sick for all that long. So I suppose they still had some energy left in them.”

When we had treated the children at the orphanage, there were some who could immediately go out and play with Leo and Tilura in the garden. But there were others who had to stay in bed and continue to sleep.

According to Ms. Anna, those were the children who had been sick for longer, while the children who went outside had only been sick for a short while.

Besides, they were children, and each was different… But the Ramogi wasn’t going to recover any energy that was lost, even if you were no longer sick, and so you would need time to reset. Well, that was true of any illness, really.

“I hope that the village can return to its previous, lively state now.”

“Indeed. I’m just happy that my medicine was able to help this village. There is something very sad about a village that is quiet, where no one walks outside.”

“Wuff-wuff.”

Mr. Hannes and the others were making the villagers drink the medicine now.

And I could hear voices coming from various houses as I talked with Phillip.

Leo nodded as if agreeing with us.

“Thank you so much. Our village is saved because of you, Mr. Takumi.”

After we had waited by the entrance for some time, Mr. Hannes returned and invited us to his house.

Apparently, there had been enough Ramogi to go around.

…I had made a little extra in order to kill the time, but there was no need for it now.

Well, I could just take it back with me and give it to Mr. Kalis, so it wouldn’t be wasted.

In any case, as Leo could not fit in Mr. Hannes’ house, she waited outside and played with Rosalie.

While Rai had been scared at first, seeing how Rosalie and Leo played seemed to have helped him see that it was alright.

Right now, Leo was probably carrying some of the recovered children and playing.

I had asked Phillip to watch over them. 

Mr. Hannes had explained to the villagers about Leo as he went around with the medicine, and so though they were a little scared, they all expected to see a great Silver Wolf when leaving their houses. And so most of them seemed to welcome Leo.

I was just glad that Leo wasn’t feared.

“…While it is not much…here is the payment for the Ramogi.”

As I sat at a table in his house, Mr. Hannes took out a leather bag and handed it to me.

It was payment for the Ramogi that was given to the villagers.

“As so many were sick for so long…we were not able to prepare as much…”

“I didn’t bring the Ramogi so that I could get paid. Please use this money for the village.”

In my previous world, I had worked for money alone. And I didn’t want to do that here.

In fact, in the end, it felt like I was just working in order to work. A rather senseless situation…

I had a place to live, with the mansion, and was being paid more than I needed by Sebastian…or rather, the duke.

And so I did not mind if I wasn’t paid for the Ramogi.

Besides, this was a village filled with people who had not been able to work. There were surely better ways to use the money for them.

“However… We owe a great debt to the duke… And you came all of the way here… We cannot let you leave empty-handed…”

Mr. Hannes seemed like he felt really bad about not being able to pay me.

I wished he wouldn’t think about it so much.

“…I see… Well, I wouldn’t refuse a delicious meal. Also, since it is quite late, I would also like a place to sleep. I’m not really fond of sleeping outside.”

“If that is what you want, we very much intended on providing it, in addition to the payment…”

“Hahaha. That is all I need. I don’t want to be the person who just helps people for money. Also…as you might have guessed, Leo eats a lot. So preparing food for us may not be as simple as it sounds.”

“Well, it is clear that you are not a greedy person…that is quite wonderful. I am impressed. In that case, the village will work together in order to prepare a satisfying meal for you!”

The sun had already set, and it was completely dark outside.

As Leo had not eaten since lunch time, she would be quite hungry now.

And I was just glad that we didn’t have to sleep outside tonight.

Seeing the cheerful faces of the villagers was enough of a reward for me… I thought this, but did not say it out loud.

…It sounded embarrassing, like I was showing off.

“Heeey! All of you! We must prepare a feast! Today, we will show our gratitude to Mr. Takumi and Leo!”

“Aye!”

With much emotion, Mr. Hannes had stood up from his seat and gone outside.

And then he shouted so that all of the villagers could hear him.

A feast… They really didn’t have to do that much… I just wanted a hearty meal for the both of us… Ah, and Phillip, of course.

I could hear shouts of agreement throughout the village, and things became quite clamorous.

…It sounded like they were going to prepare for a festival.

“Mr. Takumi, please come this way. And you too…Leo.”

“Thank you.”

“Wuff.”

Nearly an hour later, tables and chairs were set out in the center of the village, and I had been led to my seat.

Leo was next to me, and sat politely.

Mr. Hannes and the others then set down numerous plates onto our table.

In front of Leo was a great quantity of sausages and milk, which I had asked them to prepare.

… Leo was one thing, but I wasn’t sure that I would be able to eat so much.
