Sebastian was enjoying himself
“Ms. Delia, thank you for helping Mr. Takumi.”
“No, not at all! I didn’t do much…”
“Hehe. You do not have to be so nervous.”
“It is because of Ms. Delia that I was easily accepted into the village. Even though some people misunderstood us…”
Rumors had spread about us. I suppose it did not help that Phillip also flirted with the women here…
“Misunderstood?”
“Uh…”
“I’m sorry, Lady Claire. Some of the people thought that Mr. Takumi and I were…”
“Oh, in other words, they thought you were lovers?”“WHAT!!”
Upon seeing Ms. Delia looking awkward, Sebastian took the initiative to spell it out, much to Claire’s surprise.
“Lady Claire. When a man and woman spend much time together, it is only natural for rumors to spread. Especially in a small village like this one.”
“Haha… Well, exactly.”
“I’m sorry, Lady Claire. I know that he already has you…”
“…N-no… There is no need for you to apologize, Ms. Delia.”
“Hohoho. I see you are all quite uncomfortable about this.”
“Sebastian, please stop stirring the pot…”
“Oh, now even Lyra is angry. Well, I suppose we can leave it at that.”
Well, I could understand why he found it amusing to see Claire so expressive, as she was usually the perfect picture of a calm lady.
Perhaps I was not so different from Sebastian after all.
“Ah, that’s right. I will have to go to Leo after this.”
“Yes. We must share some food with the fenrirs.”
“They really like hamburgers now.”
For dinner, Claire and the others had brought ingredients, and there was also left over meat from the hunt, and so we made hamburgers.
The fenrirs had agreed to help with transportation in exchange for food, and so we had to give them their share.
“…I will go with Mr. Takumi too!”
“Claire? But it’s quite late…”
“It should be fine.”
“Really?”
While I thought leaving the village so late at night was questionable, Sebastian readily nodded.
“You are just going to Leo, it should not be very dangerous. As long as she stays with you. Besides…judging by what I heard earlier, she should not leave you alone.”
“Ye-yes. Well then. Claire, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
While Leo and the others were close to the forest, there were also servants with them. Besides, there wasn’t anything that could threaten us while Leo was there.
Even if walking in the dark might be difficult… Well, I suppose we could use a magic light.
“Hah… Now that I think of it, this is probably the first time we’ve been on a night walk together.”
I sighed while carrying a large bag filled with hamburgers.
I was waiting outside of the house, as Claire said that she had to prepare something.
The hamburgers would get cold, but we could heat them up again once we arrived…
