Clumsy people around town
“Well, let’s go then, Mr. Takumi.”
“Yes.”
After seeing Claire and the others off, I made my way to the venue with Sebastian.
“…You look nervous.
“Of course I am. I’ve never done anything like this before…”
“But given your position, I think you should be a little more confident… But I suppose that is not like you.”
“Mr. Takumi never acts important, no matter who he is dealing with. Even I think that he could give out orders a little more…”
“Haha…it’s my personality…”
Ms. Lyra was agreeing with Sebastian. That was like here. As she enjoyed taking care of people.“Mr. Takumi. There it is.”
“I have never been in this area before. It is that large building over there?”
“Yes. The people that manage the town work inside of that building.”
So it was like a city office?
We were close to the orphanage, but it was away from the main road, so I had never been here before.
But then again, I had never walked carefully through every corner off Ractos, so there were a lot of places I didn’t know of.
The building was very large, with multiple stories and guards standing in front of the entrance.
“Excuse me. I am in a hurry… Ah!”
“Uh…”
As we made our way to the entrance, a woman rushed out from behind us, passing between Sebastian and I.
I thought that she must have some kind of emergency. However, before she reached the entrance, she tripped and fell forward.
It happened so suddenly that all of us, including the guards, were stunned for a moment.
…It reminded me of something that I had seen before… Oh, it was Ms. Gelda.
“…Are you alright?”
“That was quite a fall. Are you injured?”
“I…I…I’m fine. Thank you. …Ah! Oh…good.”
“Huh?”
With the help of Sebastian and Ms. Lyra, we helped the woman get up to her feet.
She was holding her nose as if it hurt, but there was no blood.
I suppose she was lucky?
“Is something the matter?”
“No-no. Nothing at all. I’m sorry to have troubled you… I am in a hurry. Please excuse me! I won’t make it in time!”
“…What a restless person.”
“Indeed…”
As if remembering something, the woman swiftly left us and rushed into the building. I just hoped she would not fall again.
“Still, Sebastian…”
“What is it?”
“Well…including that woman…I saw a lot of people in town wearing hats with ears.”
“…Apparently, it became quite popular after you bought them, Mr. Takumi. Halton is good with such things.”
“Ah…”
“It seems that it was due to many people seeing us wearing them. At least, that is what I heard.”
“Well, I do remember that we attracted a lot of attention… But it seems much too fast? Especially if they are only being made at a single store?”
After the Deam incident, a lot more people knew about me… And so I knew that I would be recognized. But not to this degree…
Not only was it just people walking down the streets, but even merchants with street stalls were wearing them. There were definitely more than a few hundred out there.
No matter how hard they worked, I doubt Mr. Halton’s store could have made that much…
