We managed to reunite safely
“Mr. Takumi. I’m sorrry. My father has caused you trouble…”
“No, no. It’s nothing at all. I just came to see if everything was alright… I don’t think he really even needed the Loe.”
When I turned around, I saw that Claire was standing there apologetically.
Huh, that was unexpected… I thought she would either be smiling broadly or have a cool expression.
She was usually like that when she was angry at her father.
“Hah…you should be thankful to Ms. Lugretta, father. Mr. Euto as well. It dampened my spirit…”
Claire said with a sigh.
Apparently, watching Ms. Lugretta and Mr. Euto had made her not want to scold him.
Well, she was never the type to stay angry for long.
“Oh? That’s it then? Hahaha! You have sure changed, Claire!”
“…Father, I can get angry again if you want.”
“No-no. I do not want that. Yes. I am sorry.”
“Hah…”
After that, we united with the others, and after some greetings, we continued on to Range Village.
I thought that Mr. Ekenhart would ride in the carriage, but since we were so close, he said that he would walk.
As for Tilura, she was a little dejected after being scolded by Claire, but then Mr. Ekenhart picked up and raised her high into the air, and she cheered up again.
Rahle had also been scolded by Leo and had to be consoled by the cockatrices.
Well, even if there were no serious injuries, it had been strong enough to make a large man fly into the air. And so there had to be a warning.
“Still…what is that large building over there?”
As Liza rode on Leo, I walked next to them along with Claire, Mr. Ekenhart and Tilura.
“That? Surprised, eh? It is an inn.”
“An inn…? For travelers and visitors to stay?”
“Well, what else would an inn be used for!”
We were now close enough that I could see Mr. Haines and Rozalie near the entrance. And the entire building was in view.
Even for an inn, it seemed very big.
Like three times the size of the inns I saw in Ractos.
It was three stories high and very wide.
“An inn of that size… Did the villagers…?”
Claire was also surprised.
It seemed too big for something that the villagers had built.
“No. As I said before…no, it was His Excellency who said it. He wanted an inn for Range Village.”
“Now that I think about it, he did say…”
“And so, I decided to make one along with the house. He will be visiting regularly, after all. And since the rooms are very spacious, other important people can come as well.”
In other words, royals and nobles…
“…But father… The new house is already big enough for you and many guests to stay…”
Not only were there extra rooms, but some of them had been specially prepared for guests like Mr. Ekenhart and other nobles. Surely there was no need for an inn.
Still, it seemed that both Mr. Ekenhart and Mr. Euto intended to come here often…
