Chapter 306 Naked Conversations (2/2)
Barou and Belle didn’t like that village and so half-forcibly went with a band of merchants who had visited their village. They then luckily found a noble who would hire them.
“This is a nice village…”
Barou thought just a little, that he would have liked to be born in this village.

“I am Barbara. Nice to meet you, Belle-san.”
“Y-yes, nice to meet you.”
Elsa and Barbara were of the same age.
“Hey, Belle-san, what is your relation with the boy who is in the men’s bath now?”
“E-eh?! With Barou?!”
Barbara loved these kind of talks.
“Ah, so he is called Barou. Yes, him. You guys came together with Jin-san yesterday, right? I heard from my uncle.”
“Barbara-san’s uncle is…”
“Ah, my uncle’s name is Gibeck and he is the village’s mayor, for what it’s worth. Although, he is the chief now.”
“The chief?”
“Yes. After all, the owner of this village is Jin-san.”
“Eeeeehhhh?!!”
Belle’s voice echoed. It could easily be heard from the men’s bath.
“B-Belle!? What happened?! Are you okay?!”
And because of that, Barou called out with a worried voice.
“I-I’m fine. It’s nothing!”
‘Way to go, kid’, ‘Nii-chan, is that your girlfriend?’ and such voices could be heard from the men’s bath.
Belle pretended to not hear any of those and asked Barbara,
“J-Jin-sama, is he a noble?!”
But Elsa answered to it.
“No, Jin-nii is a commoner. But he’s the world’s best magi craftsman.”
Belle faced towards Elsa and asked her this time,
“Eh, magi craftsman, you say?”
“Yes. Jin-nii was acknowledged as the Honorary magi craftsman of Egelia kingdom and he also did a lot in the Kurain kingdom recently. And reward for that was this village.”
“Eeeeehhhhh?!!”
The second time.
Even though she was just an attendant apprentice, Belle did know that Egelia kingdom and Kurain kingdom weren’t anywhere close to each other.
To be acknowledged by both these far away countries… Belle couldn’t comprehend anymore.

“Hmmm, you don’t understand what happened at all?”
“Yes. Just that a group called Nostalgia caught those criminals and handed them over to the soldiers at Toka village. And those criminals don’t remember anything of the past 2 days, for some reason.”
“That was the only thing which was convenient for us… But, this Nostalgia group, eh… I have been hearing their name a lot these days. Annoying bunch. They just destroyed everything. There are no evidence, right?”
“Yes, of course. What should we do next?”
“You returned the enlisted soldiers to the village, right?”
“Yes, they should be reaching Shalulu city by today.”
“That is good. Do you understand? Don’t even do anything that will make me the target of suspicion.”
“I very much understand.”
“Then it’s fine. Next we…”
Nobody there noticed a thing about the Quinta there, listening to the whole story.
