Chapter 182: The Flora Agony
Around lunchtime .. A group of young men gathered in a corner of the village where Flora was staying. The figure of Donner who had guided Flora was also among them.
「Oi, is that true! ? An immigrant has come to the village chief's house? 」
Some of the newcomers came in haste and asked the youths who had already gathered to lift the tension in the air.
"Yes it's true . Donner was the one who guided him. She looks like a noble and is really cute. 」
A young man, the representative of the young men who had gathered answered them.
「OOOOOH, REAL? Even Donner is sometimes quite wise, isn't he? 」
「Yes geez. That donner. 」
「But he can talk cute like that? Super cute on top of that. 」
Thus, the young men became more lively according to someone their age. But, Donner, being ridiculed by them doesn't seem too happy.
「Alright then, let's go meet the noble cute as well. She must be much more cute than the woman in the village. 」
「That's natural right? I mean, they grew up with us. 」
「Actually, he far surpassed them. I can't think of him as the same person as us in seeing his excellent face. 」
「Yes, if that was the case, would we see it now? 」
Perhaps because they were about to meet Flora, the youths became even more excited. But–,
「Stop that. Pops was already yelling at me when I tried to see him before. 」
The young man in his twenties who replied with a proud expression suddenly shook his head while shrugging.
「HaaA ?? Dang, call us too if you go see him, Will !! 」
The young men who had no chance to see Flora grumbled with irritated faces.
「Well don't say things like that. I mean, we can still meet him. 」
The young man called Will tried to calm down his comrades. But–,
「You said that because you could meet him just by going home, Will. 」
"Fast right . We might never meet a cute noble like him again if we missed this opportunity. 」
「Aah, fuck. I want to get acquainted with the noble beauty as well. 」
「Instead, what if we visit his room at night? 」
"Stop! He was a noble. We can't use such crude methods, you know. 」
And so, the youths in the village voiced their grievances half seriously, half jokingly.
「Hahaha, you ………. . 」
The young man called Will smiled wryly as if astonished by their actions.
「Well, shit, Will will eat at the same table as that noble when he gets home. 」
「Build a good relationship with him. 」
「I mean he's a little ignorant about the way of the world. Maybe this is our chance if we help him when he has trouble with things like that. 」
「Will, you better not steal the march on us. Introduce him properly to us next time! 」
The young men in the village forced Will to agree to do so.
「Y-Yes. I already know. Let's do our best to approach it as much as possible. …………… Or so I thought, what's wrong with you, Donner? What's with that look of hatred of yours? 」
Although Will agreed to back off, he noticed that Donner was glaring at him, so he asked the question.
"………… . There's nothing at all. Back to work . 」
After saying that, Donner took his hoe and went himself into the fields. While muttering 「People who saved her ………. That's me . 」With a tone that seems uninterested.

「Uhn ………. . 」
The scene that greeted him when he opened his eyes was an unknown dim wooden roof.
(Fixed exactly . I was stranded in this village and lent by the village chief .................... What did I do after that?）
After recalling the reality of her current situation, in her hazy series of thoughts, Flora felt a strange choking sensation. Looks like she's got a low-grade fever. Nevertheless, when he tried to lift his body—,
「Aduh …………. 」
Muscle pain affects all joints in his limbs. His muscles became lethargic.
（Am I ……………. Wind up?)
Flora guessed so because she experienced the same sensation when she caught a cold earlier. Nevertheless, he forced his body to stand up and left the room in a sluggish gait.
Currently, Flora was on the 2nd floor. After leaving the room, he faced the stairs that descended to the first floor right in front of him. When he started slowly going down the stairs towards the 1st floor while sticking to the wall as close as possible ――,
「Pops, has that noble beauty not woken up yet? 」
「How do you expect me to know that? He's been sleeping since morning. It seems like he is really exhausted. 」
「Please introduce me to him. I'm your son anyway. 」
"You fool! Do you think he'll be friends with you? Don't make mistakes like that again and again. Worst case, you could make this entire village crumble if you get the anger of a noble. 」
Such a conversation took place between the village chief and his son, Will.
「Uuhm, …………. 」
Flora called out to them to make them notice she caused the pair of father and son to exchange shocked looks when they saw her.
「A-If it's not nobility-sama! My deepest apologies for letting you see our unsightly side. 」
「My name is Will, noble beauty! 」
Between the village chief and Will, one lowered his head while the other introduced himself.
「Ah, Yes. Uhm, About that …………. Please don't be so humble. I'm Flora. 」
Flora is confused by their respective reactions and introduces herself to Will.
「Flora-sama, a beautiful name that suits you ........」
Will closed his eyes.
「But your figure seems to be under the weather since morning ……. 」
After glaring at his son, the village chief changed the topic without making a big mistake like Will.
"Yes . Looks like I got wind …………. 」
Flora honestly told the situation to the village chief.
「So, it is troublesome ………. . 」
The village chief had a pensive expression on his face. In addition it–,
「In this case, you should stay in our house until you get better. 」
I will make a friendly proposal.
「O-Oi, Will!」
Perhaps because he could feel the seed of trouble within him, the village chief expressed his disapproval. But–,
「It's okay, pops. The cost for our meals did increase, but we had a spare room. We can't ignore Flora-sama. 」
Will make a request with a firm face.
「Uhm, I'm sorry. I would like to thank you, may I stay in this house until my condition improves? 」
Flora bowed and asked them to provide shelter in their home until her condition improved. As expected, even the village chief could not say no when a noble made a sincere request for it.
