Chapter 867
I was surrounded by the old people of the village
“Well, we will be staying here for some time. So I look forward to seeing more of the village.”
“Mmm. There is not much to see, but please enjoy your stay. Delia, please look after them.”
“Yes. I will show them around!”
We drank tea and chatted for a little longer. And then it was time to take my leave.
“Perhaps I really am getting old. I did feel something special... But I don’t know. I really should let my son take over...”
The chief muttered just as I was leaving, but I pretended that I didn’t hear.
It was likely not about me anyway...
“Ah, thank you.”
“It’s fine. Don’t be modest. It’s rare to have young people like you visit this village.”
After leaving the chief’s house, we met up with Phillip, Nicholas and Mr. Kanat. And then, as if they had been waiting, the old men and women came out and surrounded us in the center of the village.
One of the old men handed me a basket full of produce.
Aside from a well, there was a long table and chairs in the plaza, and people used it to rest and talk.
“Ahaha...well...”
The old men and women started talking about something else, and my mind started to wander.
No, no. I should focus when talking to others. This was a bad habit.
In any case, fifty years... I suppose she would be about the same age as me now.
Though, I was not born at that time, and would not be in this world.
Regardless, I chuckled as the old friends argued.
The others watched as if this kind of thing happened all of the time.
“Hah... I’m a little tired.”
“Indeed. I am usually not surrounded by so many people.”
“Me too... People always surround Leo, not me.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think that they would all come out like this. I think all the elders of the village are here.”
By the time that the sun started to set, we finally escaped the group of old folks, and we were able to return to our house and rest.
