Chapter 8: Going back home (Part 2)
(I found this image on the internet, all rights belong to the author)
There are no more than 1,000 people in the town. It is bigger than a village. The knights on patrol who were nearby, suddenly caught sight of the dragon and the town was soon abuzz.
Dragons and flying lizards flying into the sky isn"t a rare sight, but it is a great incident to the people of the town because they are mounted by knights. Besides, I am missing. It is reasonable that the town mayor comes to see what happened.
“It seems that this girl was kidnapped and we rescued her, but in order to have her cooperate with the ongoing investigation, we decided to hold her in our knight a.s.sociation, so she came to bring out her luggage. As we were going to leave anyway, we brought her with us while we asked someone to manage the order. “
It was one of the knights that explained to the Mayor with the white beard. Is that so? The commander himself doesn"t carefully explain. Mr. Frey, the blonde man, was also coming with him, but he entrusted his subordinate with the explanation to the town mayor, and urged the commander and me.
“Let"s go home anyway” said the commander.
Nodding, I hurried into the crowd of people and I arrived at my house. The knights are not going to stay here. Because I will return soon, I will annoy them if I"m late.
My house is on the east side of town. But it"s a small town. It is a two-story house where, the first floor has become a haberdashery, but that day, it was closed. And, I notice I don"t have a key. When I was kidnapped I lost it, of course. Looking for a spare, I lifted one of the flower pots near the entrance. It was good, it wasn"t stolen.
When I entered into the room using the key, for the time being, the commander and Mr. Frey sat on the living room chairs while I gathered all my luggage. I have never been on a trip so I do not have a bag for it. So, I was holding a large bag containing things I purchase previously. I will pack clothes and essentials on it as well.
Considering that I will be taken care of for months, I will need some amount of everything. I"d better take it with the intention of moving. Afterwards, I decide to buy around the castle"s town the things I can"t bring with me and with that in mind, I gather the money in the house. Finally, in order to dispose of raw items, I put them in another bag and trow them away.
There was only one person I was living with, and because I was summoned when I thought that I had to buy just enough for myself, only a small amount was needed.
The last problem I had was the tea.
Although it will not get bad quickly, I do not know how long I will be staying with the Order. So I decided to take it. Also, because it was for sale it was packed in a case so I"m going to take it with me. Because it is light, it does not bother me.
I put the can storing the tea in my luggage and wrapped my cup in a bag as if it would be better to have about one. Then, when I saw that only the cup used by my grandmother was left on the cupboard, my chest became painfully tight.
Suddenly, I remembered things before the funeral. It was when my grandmother was still alive and I drank tea with her. …… But now that grandmother is gone, I have to leave from my house.
On the contrary, I have memories that I do not understand well, like when I was killed … .… My head was so confused as I remembered my past life, but now I am surely living a common and ordinary life here.
But when I realized that I was far away from such a calm everyday life, I felt sick. It is painful and I miss that grandmother who was here not long ago.
I just cried. I hugged the can of tea, I was overwhelmed by the tears that overflowed and did not stop. I did not cry when I was about to be killed. Although, I did not want to cry like this even after being saved, why.
In any case, I have to stop crying early. I must not bother the knights who are waiting for me. I tried to wipe off my eyes and try to stop it, but I also have trouble keeping my vibrant voice down.
At that time, when I was thinking about washing my face in cold water, something touched my head.
“I will wait until you cry, you do not have to push yourself.”
I heard a voice on top of my head. I guess he went up to the first floor unexpectedly, Mr. Lucien.
But did that commander stroked my head?
When I thought that, I felt better, my feelings calming down a little. If I had been alone, I could have cried a river of tears trying to endure the hardship.
I have to answer in any case.
“Come on, do not worry …”
I was terrible with tears … …. But please pardon. I was crying after a long absence.
“Wait a moment until you calm down, you"ll need to go and ask the neighborhood about the house.”
“Tha … .…”
Thanks, the word I can"t say. I am not cool. But I could not help it because I was crying. I am surely making a terrible face and I only care about my grandmother.
Since my grandmother"s quickly pa.s.sing away, tears were easy to appear. While he kept comforting me, I felt his kindness and wanted to tear again and my tears threatened to get me ragged again.
For the time being, I washed my face with an outside well and went to talk to the lady next door. It was a kind person who was also concerned about grandmother, and was also one of the few people who I can speak normally with.
I think that this aunt will be able to let me know by watching only such things like the window of the house was broken. Instead of bothering inconvenience, while pa.s.sing the bag of flour that was left in the stock of the shop,
“Although I think that it is troublesome, thank you.” Returning to decent p.r.o.nunciation, I told my situation and bowed my head.
“I was worried about you leaving the house all of sudden, but it is a relief to have someone protecting you.” My aunt will say that and hit my shoulder.
“I will send you letters regularly.”
To my aunt who accepted pleasantly, I thanked once again and prepared for tomorrow on.
On the way back, I will have to board on a dragon again.
It seems that the dragon is more suitable for placing people than flying lizards.
“Oh, the sudden rise and descent will cause load and pressure on the body”
It seems that fly lizards can not control gravity.
“I really appreciate it … something …”
When I worshiped him again out of habit, the commander with a bitter smile said:
“Is that your habit?”
“It seems that my grandmother"s habit has been uploaded and wished to think that I am thankful …. When I was with my grandmother, I did not think it was strange, but I will fix it soon.”
Mr. Frey laughed at me, who seemed to have heard such a conversation.
“It can not be helped if it is your grandmother"s teachings"
That"s it, the commander showed understanding. Truly, a good person … ….
Finally! Although small, Tea has made its appearance.
See you all in a weeks time~!
