Book 1: Chapter 8-2: Return
Once we reached the village the villagers saw the wagon and hastily ran into the village shouting.
From within the Headman and the higher-ups hurried out.
Cyril did you safely steal it?
Of course. And theres enough to pass the winter. You can see it in the storage area right?
I said and the Headman stuck his head into the wagons storage area and chuckled once he saw all of it.
I cant believe you actually pulled it off.Good work. Well take care of the wagon so go on ahead and rest. However, youd best not forget about the weapons that can pierce armor you promised.
Then the Headman started calling over his henchmen.
At that time the normal villagers also gathered.
Cyril, let me say this in advance..Sorry.
Lucy murmured quickly from the drivers seat.
Everyone Cyril brought back food!
Then she quickly got off the seat and opened the wagon doors wide to show off the goods.
Look theres plenty of rare stuff everyone look look. Theres mead, beef, jerky, and a deer that Cyril hunted along the way! Everyone come take a look!
The villagers all gathered closer upon hearing Lucys words.
Amazing Onee-chan Ive never seen so much before.
Theres even alcohol.
Ah, theres vinegar and pepper. Its the first time Ive seen it since the Empire restricted our goods.
And look at all this, theres enough to pass the winter.
The surroundings got noisy.
People pushed their way to the front in a loop as more and more people saw the interior of the wagon.
Lucy and I had stepped away from the wagon as we watched the situation.
With this the Headman couldnt do as he pleased. The villagers now knew what was inside the wagon.
Im sure the Headman and his people were not pleased.
I sighed deeply.
Lucy why did you do this?
I wanted everyone in the village to know the results of Cyrils hard work. I didnt want the results of our hard work to get stolen. Plus I wanted everyone in the village to get some.
She didnt have any ill will.but I would still have to get angry. I couldnt let her act rashly without thought to the consequences.
Lucylets go back to the house and talk. It seems you need a lecture.
..un, Im prepared for it.
This is why Lucy had apologized. She knew she was going against what I wanted.
***************************************
I worked out a plan quickly beforehand..and I had left some insurance in the wagon.
As I thought.youre angry.
Un, Im really angry. Do you know why Im angry?
Because I didnt listen to you Cyril.
Thats part of it. But the biggest reason is you lied to me. I asked you not to interfere with the Headman and you agreed. Then you betrayed my trust.
Im sorry.
This time Ill be able to recover the situation through different meansbut depending on the situation actions like this could potentially ruin everything. I want you to understand this.
I said harshly as Lucys face crumbled.
You have to tell me if you cant accept something properly. I dont mind us having a quarrel. I do mind you saying one thing and doing another. I wont be able to properly follow up on those actions. If you do something like this again I wont be able to trust you anymore.
I understand. Next time Ill properly talk it out to the end.
Do so. Its a matter of life or death. I dont want to lose you Lucy.
Im really really sorry. I didnt think about it deeply enough. I just wanted to make everyone in the village happy and have them all say that Cyril is amazingsorry Im making excuses.
Lucy despondently stopped talking.
I think things will be alright now. She seemed to be reflecting on her actions.
I decided to be a little nicer as I opened my mouth.
Lucy I am angry about what you did, but Im happy you were trying to do something for my sake. You can stop doing seiza. Did it hurt?
My thankful words were the truth. I at least wanted her to know that.
Lucy apologized one more time and went to stand up when her legs got tangled up.
She wasnt used to seiza so it must have been hard on her. She did well to endure it.
Or so I thought when
Ow! My feet hurt. Theyre also really numboh noI might never stand again.
She said with a pale face and some panic.
I just handed her a cup of hot tea and massaged her feet til they were better.
Sorry Lucy. I mightve overdone it.
No, I was the one in the wrong. Im glad you got angry since it means you can still trust me.
She said as a natural smile emerged on her face.
Thanks to Lucys actions I was forced down a more difficult path.
However, I thought that it was still good.
I added a new objective to my plan to save the village.I needed to do it while looking cool to Lucy.
It might be naive, immature, and childishbut I had the power to do it. I could do it for Lucy.
In the future I had to make sure I did the best I could.
Creating weapons while making everyone in the village my ally..I would not waver on this new path.
