Chapter 191: Sudden Changes pt2
「Then, do not tell the local master. 」
Donner muttered so.
「No, that's not an option either. Seeing that Flora-sama's condition continues to deteriorate, if her condition does not improve during her stay in this village or if it turns out that her disease is endemic ………. . 」
While scratching his head, Will spoke of the reason why there was no other choice but to rely on the local ruler.
「Huh, in short, you're just scared. Your sudden change of attitude is simply because you don't want to be the only one responsible for the matter. 」
「HaaA?？ I'm not scared!」
Raising his eyebrows, Will said so in response to Donner's mocking comments.
「In this case, you must tell Flora-sama. Tell him that you will report to the local authorities if his condition does not improve within a few days. In addition, you should ask him if something is bothering him. 」
「I've already told you that it's better not to delve too deeply into the situation. I have no problem with asking those questions. The problem is if things get more complicated because of my question, what would you do if you were in my position? 」
Will retorted, almost yelling at Donner. Donner refused to back down.
「That's why I said that you feel scared. I mean, you basically never told us about this issue until now. 」
Donner replied without restraint as if scoffing at Will's weak nature.
「............. YOU BASTARD, ARE YOU TRYING TO CHOOSE THE DEED WITH ME? 」
Will's face stiffened with anger. The other men only listened to the situation in silence as they thought about the reason for their quarrel.
「Huh, the person who pushed us away first is you right. 」
「Because everything will fall apart if you guys are suddenly bullied!」
「And you only talk about it when it's convenient for you. 」
Donner said so while looking at Will.
「You ............ enough chat box when it comes to the condition of Flora-sama right? In that case, if you were in my position, what would you do to protect Flora-sama? 」
Perhaps because he was already at the end of the rope, Will asked such a question in anger.
「Huh, I can do more than you, at least I won't turn into a coward like you!」
"YOU ! 」
Will was about to punch Donner in hearing his blunt answer,
「Oi, stop that! 」
Of course the other men stopped Will.
"GET RID OF ME! 」
Will tries to let go of the others to punch Donner, but—, no,
「GUH」
He could not help but be driven by their strength. Even if he challenged Donner in a strength contest, Will had no chance of winning against Donner who was physically stronger than him.
「Huh, aside from your loose lips, you are powerless against me. You won't be able to protect Flora-sama. First of all, the one who led Flora-sama to the village chief's house was me! 」
Saying so, Donner looked down on Will with a triumphant face.
「Then, show me how you will protect her! I don't think you can do anything for him! You can say that because you don't know about Flora-sama's current condition! I already have no choice but to rely on our local master! 」
Even if Flora wouldn't agree to the idea of it— And thus, Will raved about what he's been feeling lately while looking at Donner with a threatening look.
「……………………. . Huh! 」
Frowning, Donner stared back at Will. Donner made a scary face, although Will could not read his mind, he felt it was something unpleasant for himself. Then, a moment later, he suddenly turned around and left them.
「Ah, yes. Donner, where are you going? 」
「……………. . The break time is over. 」
Turning lightly, Donner muttered those words and left. Other young men, including Will, were left behind when they saw Donner's embarrassed back.
◇ ◇ ◇
After that, Donner, pretending to be back at work, took a detour from the farm to a house in the middle of the village.
In the middle of the road, when he passed by another villager who was already at the peak of his life—,
「What, if not Donner .. What's the matter? 」
Others called him because his house was not located in the middle of the village, it was slightly separated from the other houses in the village. And since the work was about to begin, there might be no reason for him to be in the middle of the village during this time.
「………. . My farm is in a rather bad condition. 」
Donner averted his gaze, feeling guilty for lying to others when he showed the hoe in his hand.
「Ha ~ h. I saw . Then come back as soon as you fix it. 」
The man said so without thinking too much about it. Despite his lack of decency, Donner did not take matters into his own hands because the person who said those words was a villager who was the same as himself.
「………. Yes 」
Sighing, after nodding at the man, he left just like that. ――,
「Think of it, HEY DONNER! 」
The man called Donner as if he suddenly remembered something.
「……………. What's the problem "
Donner shuddered, and so he turned—,
「Please be careful because you will scare the young women. 」
The man said so while laughing solemnly.
「…………」
Frowning, Donner clicked his tongue and went silent. The man went out into the field, still laughing at Donner.
（Everyone keeps making fun of me!）
Donner stepped on the ground, feeling angry. He felt that everyone in the village looked down on him. The girls did not approach him because they found him strange and spoke ill of him behind. Such persecution complexes began to emerge from within, overflowing endlessly.
（See. Even someone like me. I'm not gonna hand you over to that Will Wussy. I'll show you how to do it, Will!）
He turned. Or rather, he wanted to turn around. He could not accept the fact that Will was the only one allowed to see Flora. Despite only having an eloquent tongue with his status as the son of the village chief, he received a lot of attention from the other girls. He comes later, but becomes the only one close to Flora. Although the person who spoke to Flora first was dia――.
And so on, while thinking such things, Donner arrived at the house of the village chief. – 、
（She should be in the middle of a morning patrol right now. I had to settle this immediately before he realized the strange situation. ）
And so, he quietly approached the village chief's house. Every member of the village chief's family, including the village chief himself, is assigned to their own work. However, even though the village chief, as the one who held the official position, was supposed to stay at home, he spent more and more of his time outside. Donner knows it now, he's not home and hasn't been back since leaving that morning.
Then again, when Flora was living in her house now, she might leave someone in the house, so she observed the situation inside the house from the slight opening in the front door.
（Yup, no one inside. Let's go in now. ）
After making sure that no one was inside the house, Donner immediately walked in. The house is very quiet.
（He should be on the second floor. ）
He had an understanding of the village chief's house because he had visited him many times before. Thus, Donner went to the second floor easily.
After he reached the second floor and the only living room there, he stood in front of him for a moment before he knocked on it. He sharpened his hearing to make sure he didn't miss any sound from inside and then――
