Chapter 1147
We had a buffet dinner party
“Liza, you stay here with Volgrau. I’m going to talk to Tilura.”
“Okay!”
“Bow! Bow!”
Tiura had talked to me openly when she fought with Claire before, so I thought she might answer if I ask…
“Tilura, what’s the matter? It seems like you were thinking a lot today.”
“Mr. Takumi. Uh… Hmm… I don’t know myself. But something strange happened…”
Tilura stopped petting Sherry as she turned to me.
She did not seem ill, but she did look doubtful about something.
“Uh… I feel like I can hear voices.”“Voices? What kind of…”
“Sorry to keep you all waiting.”
Claire suddenly interrupted us.
She had changed and came out into the garden.
“Sister is here. …Mr. Takumi, we can talk about it later.”
“…Yes, very well. But if you figure it out, don’t hesitate to tell me, alright?”
“Yes!”
She replied cheerfully. But it seemed like she was just hiding her doubts for now.
Still, it was a strange thing indeed…
What kind of voices did she hear? But then again, she wasn’t even sure.
Was she just imagining it then? She did not seem like the time to do that.
Regardless, I was sure that she would confide in me if she learned anything, so I would not think about it right now.
Deciding this, I head back towards Leo and the others.
After we talked with the others for a moment, it was time for dinner.
A large table was set in the garden, and various dishes were placed on top.
“While it is just a humble meal, we wanted to celebrate with you today, as people who will work together in the future. Please eat and drink without worry, and enjoy yourself to the fullest.”
Claire addressed everyone as she raised her glass. Though, I noticed she was not drinking wine this time.
The employees seemed nervous, but they all raised their voices in answer. They would probably relax once they started eating.
Ms. Helena had worked hard to make this delicious food.
As there were a lot of people, it was a buffet style where everyone would stand.
It would be difficult to prepare enough chairs. Also, this way people could talk to each other more freely.
Candles and magic lanterns were used to illuminate the garden, and due to the large number of guests, it really felt like a party.
The employees were all standing close together awkwardly. Leo, the fenrirs and Volgrau were also in their own group. With Liza and Ms. Delia, of course. A mountain of sausages had been prepared for them.
“I think people are starting to relax a little?”
“Yes. I can see that they are talking.”
Claire and I clinked our cups together as we watched the others.
As for the food, there were some dishes that I had been involved with, such as hamburgers. They were quite popular, which made me glad that we had gone through the effort. As for drinks, there was tea and wine from Range village. And also ale from Bleiyu village. Some people were even drinking serpent wine.
Mr. Peter and Mr. Kanat must have brought it.
“Hehe…”
“What is it?”
Claire suddenly started to chuckle.
“I’m sorry. It is just so odd… How it is really going to begin. The herb fields. It seems so soon. But also so long…”
“That’s true… A lot has happened. Like with Liz and Rahle…”
Now that I had thought about it, a few months had passed since it was decided. However, thanks to Leo, Claire and the servants here, I rarely felt overwhelmed or overworked…
