Donremi is an ordinary village in the Luolin Empire.
The population is not large, there are only about a hundred households, and the living standards of the villagers are also very average. The villagers in the whole village cannot be said to be very poor, nor can they be said to be very rich.
Generally speaking, they are just ordinary rural areas that can be found everywhere in the world.
Although not very wealthy, it is unusually harmonious and peaceful.
At this time, the night was getting darker.
When the sky was dyed dark red by the setting sun, every household in Donremi started to cook dinner with white and thin smoke rising from the kitchen.
Jeanne's home
"Mr. Sage, Mr. Gill, dinner is ready, come and eat."
As Jeanne said this, she held a dinner plate with three bowls of vegetable porridge on it. She quickly walked to the only small table in the room, and then moved it very skillfully.
Three bowls of vegetable porridge were placed on the small table.
"Ho ho ho~~"
The "Mr. Sage" sitting at the small table, the man in black robe, rubbed his hands excitedly, and then continued:
"Vegetable porridge. It smells so delicious. I haven't eaten in a long time. The last time I ate was more than a month ago."
"Mr. Sage..." Jeanne smiled helplessly at the man in black robe, "You are making such an exaggerated joke again."
At noon today, that is, after the man in black robe suddenly appeared in the wooden house, he explained his identity to all the villagers in the house at that time, including Jeanne.
The man in black robe said that he was a bard who traveled all over the world. Because he was very knowledgeable, he was called "Sage". Just call him "Sage".
Today I happened to wander to this Remi Village, and then I happened to hear a loud noise coming from this wooden house, which was Jeanne's house, so I walked in to see what was going on.
As for why the figure in black robe suddenly appeared in the house...
"Huh? This is just your illusion. How could I suddenly appear in the house? I walked in very politely."
These were the original words of the man in black robe at that time.
In short, the man in black robe spent a lot of words, and the villagers no longer doubted the man in black robe.
A large part of the reason why the villagers dispelled their suspicions about the man in black robe so quickly has to do with the simplicity of the villagers.
After successfully convincing the villagers, the man in black robe said that he liked Donremi Village very much and hoped to live in Donremi Village for some time.
The request of the man in black robe was not excessive, so the villagers agreed to the request of the man in black robe.
The very warm-hearted Jeanne took the initiative to take in the man in black robe.
Thus, there was a scene where Jeanne, the man in black robe, and Gill had dinner together in a wooden house.
"Hey! Boy!" The man in black robe shouted in a somewhat displeased tone to Jill, who was still sitting on the bed with his arms wrapped around his knees and his head on his knees, "Come over for dinner! If you don't come over for dinner,
Jeanne is not even allowed to serve dinner!"
The man in black robe was so greedy by the aroma of vegetable porridge that he wanted to use the spoon in advance, but Jeanne stopped him.
"Everyone has to come before we can eat!"
These are Jeanne's exact words just now.
After hearing the urging from the man in black robe, Jill was silent for a while.
After a long moment of silence, Jill finally got off the bed, walked to the dining table with extremely weak steps, and sat down.
At this time, Jill's hair was very messy, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was extremely ugly, as if she had aged many years.
"Brother..." Jeanne asked Jill worriedly, "Are you okay? You look so haggard..."
"Do not bother me."
While Gill answered Jeanne in a cold tone, he picked up a wooden spoon and began to put the vegetable porridge in front of him into his mouth bit by bit.
"oh……"
Jeanne, who was treated coldly by Gill, felt a little disappointed on her face. She lowered her head and silently began to use the small wooden spoon in her hand to scoop the vegetable porridge in the bowl into her mouth bit by bit.
"Hmm~~ It smells so good, it smells so good~~"
The man in black robe seemed to be very satisfied with the taste of the vegetable porridge made by Jeanne, and he ate it happily. He never stopped with the wooden spoon of vegetable porridge in his hand.
"Jean, your craftsmanship is great!" The man in black robe praised Jeanne sincerely while eating the vegetable porridge.
"Hehe..." Jeanne scratched her hair shyly, "Thank you..."
The man in black robe's praise made Jeanne, who was originally a little depressed, feel better again.
It only took less than a minute for the man in black robe to start moving the spoon and put down the wooden spoon in his hand.
It only took less than a minute for the man in black robe to finish the vegetable porridge in the bowl, not even a grain of rice left.
"Hiccup~~"
The man in black robe leaned back, leaning carelessly on the back of the chair behind him, and then let out a loud burp.
Then, as if casually, the man in black robe started talking to Jeanne:
"Jeanna, you are really amazing. I have heard about it. You picked this boy up at the gate of the village last night."
As the man in black robe spoke, he pursed his lips at Gil, who was sitting next to him.
As soon as the man in black robe finished speaking, he stopped holding the wooden spoon in his hand as he silently looked at Gil, who was holding vegetable porridge in his mouth.
After hearing what the man in black robe said, Jeanne was slightly startled, and then said in a doubtful tone:
"Mr. Sage, how did you know about this? I remember that since you entered my house today, you have never left my house to have contact with other villagers. How did you know about this? Who did you hear it from?
Who said this?"
"Ah...well...who did I hear this from? Jeanne, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, Jeanne, you are really courageous and kind, and you have the courage to lend a helping hand to people in need."
Hearing the man in black robe praise her again, a shy look appeared on Jeanna's face again. She raised her hand and scratched the hair in front of her forehead, and then said in a shy tone:
"I don't count courage and kindness... I just returned to the village yesterday evening. When I passed the village entrance, I saw my elder brother sitting on a horse that was already exhausted.
, the whole person passed out. I felt that I couldn't sit idly by, so I called a few uncles from the village to help me carry my eldest brother back to my home, and help me remove the armor from his body.
I just dropped it so that he could sleep better, I didn’t actually do anything.”
As soon as Jeanne finished speaking, Gil, who was sitting next to her, pondered for a while.
subsequently
"Thank you."
Gil put down the bowl and spoon in his hand, then solemnly bowed his head to Jeanne and thanked her.
"Jean, your name is Jean, right? Thank you for saving me. At the same time, I also apologize to you for my rude behavior this day. I'm sorry, I woke up today, and I feel really sorry for you.
You have done too many rude things and said too many rude words, please forgive me."
Jeanne seemed to have never seen someone thank and apologize to her so solemnly, so she panicked for a moment.
"Well, well, brother, you don't need to thank me! I actually didn't do anything, and you don't need to apologize to me. I don't even take it to heart."
Looking at Gill, who was solemnly apologizing and thanking Jeanne, and Jeanne, who was in a panic, the man in black robe let out a low, imperceptible laugh.
It was a laugh full of joy.
As if to cover up her helplessness and embarrassment, Jeanne turned her head and said to the man in black robe:
Chapter completed!
