CHAPTER 45 PEDDLER

I see, if you were a peddler then Im convinced

After the lunch, the three adults were talking over a tea while watching the children who have begun playing with the stuffed animals.

When Volsung asks about theBecause of me, my daughter doesnt have anyone she could call friendwords he heard before lunch, Lilias father says that he took her along when peddling.

Because they didnt stay in one place for long, Lilia doesnt have any intimate friends.

How long do you plan on staying in this village?

Im thinking about leaving to the town of Lease tomorrow

Then, Lias father umm

Volsung finally notices that they havent introduced themselves yet.

Ah, I apologize. Im called Onnes

My name is Vol

Im taking care of Dirk-sama, Melu is my name

The three introduce themselves and continue the conversation.

Leaving towards Lease tomorrow means that you are going by the carriage?

No, my daughter and I are going on foot. Its embarrassing, but we dont have financial surplus

Hearing those words, Meluerina notices. This parent and child pair dont lodge in the only Inn in the village. Far from financial surplus, they dont even have enough money to stay at the Inn.

But, looking at Lilia and Onnes, this parent and child dont look like they lack money.

By the way, I havent seen you at the Inn before, where are you staying at?

We are always under the village chiefs care when coming to this village. In return, I sell flavoring and spices at lower prices to the villagers

I see, so that was it

They were certain that these two staying in the stables or outdoor, but that wasnt the case.

This little village have no means to produce the flavorings and spices, so they have no choice, but to purchase them from outside. In small villages such as this Hulc, the peddlers who come surely increase the prices. But, in Onnes case, he borrows a room in the village chiefs house for lowering his prices. Considering that, Onnes must be a precious peddler to this small village.

Nee, nee, Lias Otousan

While the three were talking, Dirkhert who was supposed to be playing with Lilia suddenly addresses Onnes.

Oya, whats the matter?

Anone, Lia fell asleep

Looking at the place where the two were playing at, Lilia had her face on the table and slept.

Its about an hour after lunch. Its a nap time for normal children. Lilia couldnt win over the drowsiness.

Because she has been in high spirits since yesterday, she must have gotten pretty tired

Onnes lifts up the sleeping Lilia,We shall take our leave hereand turns towards the door.

Lia, Lias Otousan, bye bye~

Onnes waved back at Dirkhert who was vigorously waving his hand and left the Inn.
