Episode 87: It Was Nothing

While discussing these things, I head towards the village in the forest.

By the way, the village in the forest is apparently called Rest Village.

“Welcome, welcome!! Please come this way!! Apart from potion herbs, we don’t have much, but since it’s the legitimate son of Lord Kaiser who has come, we’ll do our best to entertain you!!”

“There’s no need to be so formal. From now on, it’s fine to treat me not as the lord’s son, but just as a guest.”

“Even if you say that, there’s still a position to uphold…”

“Well, if Zeph says so, then do as you like. I won’t force you.”

“T-thank you very much!”

Arriving at Rest Village, I first head to the house of the village chief, Zeph, and am guided to the back room.

At that moment, a fourteen-year-old girl glares at me, but I pretend not to notice and continue to follow the guide to the back room.

Back there, the village chief’s wife scolds the girl, probably their daughter, saying, “Stop giving such looks!! I won’t know what happens if you get killed!!”

It’s safe to assume she’s their daughter.

“I-I’m sorry about my daughter… No matter how much I try to raise her like a lady, she ends up being so tomboyish… Please forgive her!”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t see anything or hear anything.”

“T-thank you!”

“I said, what’s the matter? I didn’t see anything or hear anything. Or is there something? Did I miss something?”

“N-no… That’s right. It was nothing… Well then, please come this way.”

Obviously, since I overheard the exchange between the girl and her mother, it’s natural that the village chief, who was present, heard it too. He apologizes profusely, sweating and bowing deeply, asking for forgiveness for his daughter. I respond as if I saw and heard nothing, asking what he’s apologizing for.

Realizing my intention, the village chief decides to overlook the girl’s earlier rude behavior and leads me to the table in the center of the room, gesturing for me to take the seat at the head.

“Do you understand why I’m here?”

“Yes, I received prior notice from the current lord, Lord Douglas, instructing me to have Kaiser-sama pioneer the Death Forest… I understand that much, but can you really pioneer the Death Forest?”
