Chapter 1150
Nicholas was popular with the ladies
“Mr. Peter… If we did use cockatrices. Would it save us a lot of time?”
“They do eat bugs that humans cannot find. It would make things much easier for the workers.”
“I see…”
Cockatrices, huh… It would be very helpful if they could cooperate with the herb fields…
Fenrirs for transportation and cockatrices for farming… I did seem to rely on monsters a lot. It was likely because I had Leo.
By now, most people had finished eating, and so their attention moved to conversation.
While not everyone, I had been able to speak to many of the employees. Though, I still had trouble remembering names.
Claire, on the other hand, knew all of them now. And it seemed like she had talked with nearly all of them as well. It was very impressive.
I knew that I had to be able to do the same…but I was not confident.“Hmm? Is that…”
I noticed that there was someone near the corner of the garden.
It was Nicholas and…Ms. Corint. During the interview, she had asked about there being single men in the village. That had been quite unexpected.
“What are your hobbies? How do you spend the weekends…?”
“…I like to train. On my days off, I like to think of ways to improve on my faults.”
Out of interest, I walked towards them and was able to hear what they were saying.
Ms. Corint seemed to be asking him a lot of questions.
Sebastian probably would have recommended Phillip. But Ms. Corint had taken an interest in Nicholas. But he seemed to be a little taken aback by her forwardness.
“Nicholas was quite popular in Bleiyu village as well.”
“Ms. Delia.”
“Mr. Takumi. I saw that you talked to a lot of people, but you did not talk to me. So I had to come here myself.”
“Haha. I’m sorry. But you seemed to be having fun with Liza and Leo.”
Ms. Delia approached me with a hamburger in one hand and a cup in the other.
“This is the same food you and Lady Claire served us in Bleiyu village. It really is delicious. And there are some that are a little different.”
“Ms. Helena has been making improvements.”
She had made changes with the bread and sauces, and the results were very satisfying.
“So, what was I… Ah, that’s right. Nicholas was popular in Bleiyu village? I thought it was Phillip who was popular…”
So as not to bother Ms. Corint, we moved away while talking about our memories of the village.
Phillip had talked with everyone, young and old, men and women. Though, he definitely talked more with women.
Because of that, he would often be greeted by them while walking through the village. Of course, it was mostly just casual conversation to kill the time.
As far as I had seen, there was nothing serious happening with anyone.
On the other hand, Nicholas had returned early, so I had not seen him talking with the others very much.
“Mr. Nicholas may not have had as many opportunities to speak to the people of the village, he did not have a frivolous air. I heard the women say that. Some were even thinking of ways to approach him and become closer.”
“Yes, he does have a serious air about him… Well, he actually is serious. He doesn’t talk much either.”
“I suppose it made quite a contract with Mr. Phillip, who talks so light-heartedly.”
If that was true, I felt quite bad for Phillip…
Well, perhaps if he was a little more serious and earnest, he would be more popular.
It wasn’t as if he had a bad personality. He was good-looking and did his job as the chief guard quite well…
