Chapter 274 - 272 - Ill Try To Convince Her. (1/2)
After eating breakfast together with Ciaphia, they left the house for a short walk.
The two walked around the village until they approached the village plantation, where Rose, Rieli, and Clachel were working.
”What are you guys doing here? Have you decided to help?” Rose stopped tinkering with the earth and approached the two.
”No, we were just walking around a bit.”
”I see...” Rose had a strange smile on her face as she glanced between Noah and Ciaphia.
”What is it?”
”It's nothing, it's about the party yesterday. I remember very well what Ciaphia was saying, and since you, two are together first thing this morning...”
Hearing this, Ciaphia's face turned red and she began to despair.
”No, we don't....” Ciaphia bit her tongue and couldn't explain herself, so Noah had to tell Rose what had happened.
Ciaphia had gotten very drunk and had slept over at his house, that's all, the two of them hadn't done anything and were too young for that kind of thing.
”I understand... But I'm still suspicious.” Rose began to laugh and then went back to work. Rieli and Clachel were listening to everything, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
”Shall we go? We should call Taciane and Eli so we should train.”
”You finally decided to go back to training?”
”Standing still is no good. And I must also get stronger and stronger.”
”I don't understand this urge you have to get stronger and stronger.”
”...”

Arriving home, Rose found her mother sitting on the couch looking a bit despondent.
”What happened, Mom?” Rose took off her dirty shoes and then walked to the kitchen while talking to Sara.
”It's nothing, I'm just bored.”
”I guess I can understand that, you stay home and do nothing.”
”...”
”That's right, what do you think about coming to work with us in the garden? Or maybe you should look for some work around the village. You won't get bored if you do that. I can talk to Lucio.”
”No need... It's just that I miss my inn, you know?”
”Hm, I understand... We've been here a long time, haven't we? It's almost like we moved here. Wait, we didn't move?”
”We were supposed to just stay here until the attack on the capital was over, but we've been here longer than we should have.”
”Emma and Lucio don't bother with us, so we end up staying...”
”Yeah...” Sara sighed again.
Rose walked over and sat down on the couch even though she was in her clothes dirty.
”What do you say we head back to the capital? I think it's time.”
”You don't like it here?”
”I do, but I'd rather live in a big city. And I just can't stand working planting stuff and tinkering with dirt anymore.”
”Ahahahaha, I figured. You've never been the kind of girl who likes to mess with dirty things.”
”If you want to leave, I can let everyone know. Everyone is probably homesick. Except for Ciaphia, she'll probably want to stay together with Noah.”
”Oh, sure...”
The two began to laugh.
Then Rose got up from the couch.
”Okay, I'll go take a shower, and then I'll talk to everyone about it, all right? Of course, I'll also talk to Emma and Lucio.”
”All right, thanks...”

After taking a shower and getting ready, Rose left the house and went to Dala and Clachel's house to talk to the two. It was already evening, so everyone's work had been finished and they were all home.
As soon as she arrived, she was greeted by mother and daughter.
”So, I would like to talk to you about my mother.”
”What happened? Is she okay?” Dala looked worried, so Rose calmed her down.
”Nothing happened to her, don't worry.”
”Good....”
”It's about something else. My mother seems very despondent these days, I talked to her and she said she was missing home and her inn.”
