When I was Reincarnated into a Game World, I Was a Farmer’s Son - Chapter 40
Chapter 40
“Hmm? Ah! I’m sorry. I was lost in my thoughts for a moment. It’s a bad habit of mine that my face becomes stern without me realizing it when I’m lost in my thoughts. Please rest assured, I’m not angry or anything.”
He said so with a slightly flustered tone. Goti seems to notice my tense expression.
Oh, he wasn’t angry, that’s a relief. I feel a bit more relaxed, but I still can’t figure out what Goti wants to confirm with me.
Hmm, no matter how hard to think about it, I still don’t know. Anyway, I shouldn’t let my guard down.
“My wife often reminds me about this habit, but it’s hard to get rid of this habit. I have a daughter who is the same age as you, you know? There was a time when I scared and made her cry because I was thinking about something. Ever since then, I’ve been desperately trying to get rid of this habit of mine, and I can say that I’ve gotten much better.”
So he used to be even scarier before? I feel sorry for his daughter, but when it comes to his family, he seems quite happy talking about them. His expression softens, and I can feel his love for his family.
“So you don’t have to be nervous, okay? Just relax, oh, right! Being the same age as my daughter means you’re at the age to receive the divine revelation from the Dagda religion, right? How is your status?”
“No, I haven’t received the divine revelation yet.”
“I see, you haven’t done the ritual yet. So, when do you plan to do it?”
“Well actually, I don’t have any plans to do it.”
“No plans? What do you mean?”
I explain to Goti that I have made the decision not to receive the divine revelation on my own. If by any chance a noble were to offer me a position, as a farmer, I wouldn’t be able to refuse. I expressed my intention to stay in the village and the farm that will be left by my father.
Upon hearing that, Goti’s face became stern again, just like before. I was told earlier that he wasn’t angry, but now it seems like he might be. His expression is really intimidating!
Goti’s POV
(Although it’s rare for a farmer’s child to be taken in by a noble, there is indeed a possibility for this child. The fact that he has decided not to receive the divine revelation himself suggests that he may be aware of his potential. This boy possesses talent in combat and seems to be incredibly intelligent as well. This boy could be a quite remarkable.)
Neil’s POV
As the silence continues, Goti’s face becomes even more stern. Eventually, he closes his eyes. Eh? Did I say something terrible? As the time passes and Goti remains silent with his eyes closed, I couldn’t bear the pressure any longer!
“Um, Vice Captain…d-did I do something disrespectful?”
I asked so in trembling voice.
Goti’s POV
(This child likely has exceptional status values as well. It would be better not to reveal the stats and let others know about this. I don’t want to him to be involved in the factional dispute between the Dagdians and the nobles. I think I should consult with the commander and Shuften-sama about this matter…)
Neil’s POV
Wahh! He is angry after all! I’m panicking!
But then, Goti suddenly opens his eyes and looks at me.
“Neil-kun, would you like to join the Marwell Knight Order?”
