Chapter 151 . 2 : Sudden Change

「In that case, just don’t tell the local lord . 」

Donner muttered so .

「No, that’s not a choice either . Seeing that Flora-sama’s condition keeps deteriorating, if her condition doesn’t improve during her stay in this village or if it turns out that her illness is an endemic……… . . 」

Scratching his head, Will talked about the reasons for why there was no other choice than to rely on the local lord .

「Humph, in short, you’re just scared . Your sudden change of attitude is simply because you don’t want to be the only one who is responsible for this matter . 」

「HaaA?？ 　I’m not scared!」

Furrowing his eyebrows, Will said so in response to Donner’s mocking remark .

「In that case, you should tell Flora-sama . Tell her that you’re going to report to the local lord if her condition doesn’t get better in a few days . In addition, you should ask her if there’s something that troubles her . 」

「I’ve told you that it’s better to not probe too deeply regarding her situation . I’ve no problem with asking those questions . The problem is if things get more complicated due to my questions, what would you do if you were in my position ? 」

Will retorted, almost shouting at Donner . But, Donner refused to back down .

「That’s why I said that you’re getting scared . I mean you basically never told us about this matter up till now . 」

Donner replied without holding back as if to sneer at Will’s wimpy nature .

「………… YOU BASTARD, ARE YOU TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME? 」

Will’s face stiffened due to anger . The other men just listened to the situation in silence as they thought about the reason for their quarrel .

「Humph, the one who pushed us away first was you right . 」

「Because things would get messy if you guys suddenly intruded!」

「And you only talked about it when it was convenient for you . 」

Donner said so as he glared at Will .

「You bastard…………  quite a chatterbox when it comes to Flora-sama’s condition aren’t you? Well then, if you were in my position, what would you do to protect Flora-sama? 」

Maybe because he was already at the end of the rope, Will asked such a question in a fit of anger .

「Humph, I can do more than you, at least I won’t turn into a coward like you!」

「YOU BASTARD! 」

Will was about to punch Donner in hearing his blunt answer . ―,

「Oi, cut it out already! 」

Naturally the other men stopped Will .

「LET GO OF ME! 」

Will tried to shake off the others in order to punch Donner, but――,

「GUH」

He couldn’t help but be pushed away by their strength . Even if he were to challenge Donner in a contest of strength, Will had no chance of winning against Donner who had a stronger physique than him .

「Humph, aside from your loose lips, you’re powerless against me . You won’t be able to protect Flora-sama . In the first place, the one who guided 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’re going to protect her!　I don’t think you can do anything for her!　You can say that since you don’t know about Flora-sama’s current condition!　I already have no choice other than relying on our local lord! 」

Even if Flora won’t agree to that idea―― And thus, Will ranted on and on about what he was feeling lately while glaring at Donner with a menacing gaze .

「…………………… . . Humph!」

Frowning, Donner stared back at Will . Donner was making a scary face, though Will couldn’t read his mind, he felt that it was something unpleasant towards himself . Then, a while later, he suddenly turned around and left them .

「Ah, oi . Donner, where do you think you’re going! 」

When the other young men asked him――,

「…………… . . The break time is over . 」

Turning around lightly, Donner muttered those words and left . The other young men, including Will were left behind as they watched  Donner’s retreating back embarrassed .

◇　◇　◇

After that, Donner who had pretended to go back to work took a detour from the agricultural field towards the house at the center of the village .

On the way, when he passed by another villager who was already at the prime of his life――,

「Are, if it isn’t Donner… What’s the matter? 」

The other person called out to himas his house wasn’t located in the middle of the village, it was slightly separated from the rest of the houses in the village . And since work was about to begin, there might be no reason for him to be in the middle of the village during this time .

「……… . . My farming tools were in a slightly bad shape . 」

Donner averted his gaze,  feeling guilty about lying to another person as he showed the hoe in his hand .

「Ha~h . I see .   Then return immediately after you fix it . 」

The man said so without thinking too much about it . Despite the lack of courtesy, Donner didn’t mind it so much as the one who had said those words was a villager from the same village as himself .

「……… . Yeah . 」

Heaving a sigh, after nodding at the man, he went away as it is . ――,

「Come to think of it, HEY DONNER! 」

The man called Donner as if he suddenly recalled something .

「…………… . What’s the matter 」

Donner shuddered, and as soon as he turned around――,

「Please be careful since you’re going to scare the young women . 」

The man said so while laughing heartily .

「…………」

Frowning, Donner clicked his tongue and  left in silence . The man went towards the field, still laughing at Donner .

（Everybody just keeps making fun of me!）

Donner stepped on the ground, feeling angry . He felt that everyone in the village was looking down on him . The girls didn’t approach him as they thought of him as weird and spoke ill of him behind his back . Such a persecution complex started emerging from within, overflowing endlessly .

（Look . Even someone like me……… . will go to save you . I won’t leave you to that wussy Will . I will show you how to do it, Will!）

He turned around . Or to be exact, he wanted to turn around . He couldn’t accept the fact that Will was the only one allowed to see Flora . Despite only having his glib tongue with his status as the village chief’s son, he received a lot of attention from the other girls . He came later and yet had become the only one close to Flora . Even though the one who had talked to Flora first was him―― .

And so on, while thinking about such things, Donner arrived at the house of the village chief . ―、

（He should be in the middle of morning patrol right now . I must finish this right away before he realizes the strange situation . ）

And so, he secretly approached the village chief’s house . Each member of the village chief’s family, including the village chief himself were assigned to their own jobs . However, even though the village chief, as the one who held the official position, was supposed to stay at home, he mostly spent his time outside it . Donner knew that right now, he wasn’t at home and had yet to return since leaving that morning .

Then again, as Flora was staying in his house right now, he might have left someone in the house, so he observed the situation inside the house from a slight opening at the front door .

（Yup, no one is inside . Let’s enter now . ）

After confirming that no one was inside the house, Donner went inside immediately . The house was very quiet .

（She should be on the second floor . ）

He had a grasp of the village chief’s house as he had visited it many times before . Thus, Donner went towards the second floor with ease .

After he reached the second floor and the sole guest room there, he stood in front of it for a while before he knocked on it . He sharpened his hearing to make sure he did not miss any sound from inside and then――,
