Chapter 432 – 432
As she approached Mary White, she unintentionally overheard her.
My younger brother hangs out with delinquent kids?
Is your younger brother in puberty?
-Rubber-
“Oh my. “Be surprised.”
As I approached Mary White, she seemed to sense my presence and looked behind her in surprise, realizing that I had come.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to surprise you. I just came over because I saw you, Miss White. Please apologize for my rudeness last time. Things were complicated at that time… “I’m a little late this time, but I’d like to ask you for an after-date. Um, I’m sorry for interrupting you if you were in the middle of a family conversation.”
“… Oh, no, no… Are you okay? And you came at the right time. I think your deceased parents and grandparents would also like to see you. Say hello. “This is my mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather.”
“… Nice to meet you I am Dutch Von the Micah IV…, Not. Just called Dutch Marston…”
In front of Mary White’s family gravestone, I took off my hat and spoke with American courtesy.
Mary White, a virtuous and dignified lady, responded to my introduction with, “Foot. She’s a better person than I thought. Mr. Marston. She’s cute too. “Phew,” She laughed.
Normally, she would say things like ‘Dutch Von the Micah IV’ in a voice full of bravado, but I guess it seemed funny and cute to her to be polite and say her real name in front of the gravestones of the dead.
When Mary White saw me saying my own name in front of the dead, she spoke in a lighter voice.
In general, these were words that were happily introduced to each other between her family and me in front of the tombstone at the family grave.
While Mary White was talking in a comfortable and cozy atmosphere in front of her family’s grave, I actually had other thoughts about her.
‘Skeleton summoning magic learned in Diyablo… I think it’s available here. If I summon a skeleton towards the grave of this family grave, and the bones of Mary White’s parents and grandparents rise and jump out of the grave, Mary White will faint and bite them, right? … Ah, I want to try it. … But if I do that, the American colonies will come to hunt me down and raid me, accusing me of being a devil or a monster.’
Maybe even Europe will organize a knighthood or a crusade and come to hunt me down.
The thought of me thinking about something else was a bit similar to thinking about something else while listening to a boring teacher’s class during my school days.
Haven’t we all thought about this while taking boring and boring classes?
What would happen if war suddenly broke out now? Or what should I do if monsters or zombies appear…, If a monster or zombie suddenly enters through that classroom door, the classroom will become chaos, right? Same imagination…
“But Mr. Marston…” Looking at the name Dutch, is your mother of Dutch descent? I heard that my great-grandmother was also of Dutch descent.”
“No, no. The name Dutch was given to my son by my father as a way of saying thank you for saving his life from a man named Dutch. “I have nothing to do with the Dutch family.”
I think Mary White asked that question because the name Dutch is often used by Dutch-Americans.
I know that my father, Arthur Marston, once fell into the water and was saved by a Dutch-American named Dutch, so he gave his son the name Dutch.
“Ah…, Okay…”
When Mary White, slightly perplexed by my words, lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, I realized I had made a mistake and changed the topic.
She was currently talking in various directions to break up the potentially awkward atmosphere between a man and a woman who did not know each other very well.
“But earlier, I unintentionally overheard a story about my younger brother. Tom? Thomas is that guy, right? I also heard some rumors about the village. “You hang out with guys from outside the village?”
“… Ah, … Yes, Thomas…, It’s been like that these days. I guess it’s puberty… They don’t listen to me very well, and I wonder if they end up doing bad things or things that could harm their health… “The other day, I came home with my whole body covered in blood, and I was so shocked that I collapsed on the spot.”
“Wow, you must be really surprised.”
“Yes, yes…, But my younger sister acted as if nothing was wrong. While hunting and moving her deer, she touched it by mistake and blood poured out, causing her to get hit. He laughed at my surprised appearance, but I was really panicking… And I’m really glad it’s deer blood, but maybe it’s not human blood… I was so worried…”
As soon as I started talking about my younger brother, the conversation seemed to flow without stopping.
Mostly, Mary White would talk about her younger brother, and I would listen carefully and chime in.
“… I think I talked too much to myself today. Furthermore, I guess I have a lot to worry about with my younger brother…, Sorry. And thank you for listening to my story…”
“No. If you’re worried about your family, you can do that. I’m happy to think of today as a date. It was an after date at the cemetery and park near the church. Haha.”
“… Oh, I see. Ho ho. I see. It was fun. Thank you. Mr. Marston.”
“Then I look forward to next time. See you again. “I will ask you out again soon.”
“Ah, … That, … Excuse me. Mr Marston…”
“Yes? Why are you doing that?”
“… Hey, if you’re really rude… “Can I ask Mr. Marston a favor?”
“As long as it’s not an unreasonable request, it’s okay.”
“I was able to hear rumors about the village recently… Mr. Marston beat up all the thugs who were robbing in the valley upstream, and recovered the money of Aunt Ellen and her friends…, I am an expert in that field.”
“Yes…, What…”
“… So, if you see a group of people hanging out with my younger brother, if they are doing something terrible…, If you make my little brother do bad things and seduce him, then Mr. Marston will… No, no. I’m asking an unreasonable request for no reason…, But if you happen to see it while walking down the street… That… How could it not be…”
“Aha, I know what you mean. It’s not difficult. I will take good care of Ms. White’s younger brother. So don’t worry. That’s because boys at that age are naturally full of blood. I will guide you well and send you back to Miss White.”
An out-of-town juvenile delinquent organization that Mary White’s younger brother hangs out with…
And my second additional ordeal, forming a criminal organization through ‘creating a gang’…
It felt like something was coming together.
So she said, I’ll take care of it for her.
‘Can’t I just slurp up that delinquent youth organization and turn it into my gang? Rather than gathering each member of a gang to become a gang, it would be easier, faster, and more profitable to subdue or recruit members of the original bad organization and make them my subordinates.’
After leaving Mary White, I went to a room at the village inn where I stayed and rested for a while, then walked around her neighborhood and heard rumors about Mary’s younger brother, Thomas White.
And I asked around and found out where the guys who hang out with Thomas White usually show up and where they hang out.
And the next day, as soon as the sun rose, I rode my favorite horse, Belle, and ran to the place where they were said to often appear.
It appeared to be an area with small hills and forests that were probably not managed well by the three nearby villages.
Springfield Valentine, Springfield Sapphire, Springfield Blueberry.
These three villages were originally all claiming to be Springfield, but since everyone was confused, the names were added later.
(Actually, our village had the most basic roots.)
It is said that when Springfield Sapphire and Springfield Blueberry were fighting each other, claiming that they were the original Springfield village, our village also joined the dogfight by suddenly naming the village Springfield.
Anyway, our town, which had nothing special, became Springfield Valentine.
The town where the sapphire was discovered is Springfield Sapphire. The area where blueberries were plentiful and delicious became Springfield Blueberry.
This all happened during my grandfather’s time when this area was being pioneered.
‘But funny enough, when I was in my generation, our village was the most developed. It’s a town with no special features. … Ah, the advantage is that it’s closest to the river. Did it develop the most because it was closest to the river?’
Anyway, the areas of these three villages were not properly defined and were intertwined, so there were some areas that could not be properly managed.
It was a place made up of hills, hills, and forests.
It is a place where young boys from three villages visit to test their courage and have fun as a secret hideout…, It’s a place where you can play in moderation and always return home before the sun sets because it’s dangerous…
It seems that the newly formed juvenile delinquent organization has created proper lodging facilities there.
‘According to my fictional memory, the original protagonist also went there when he was young and played with friends his own age. Still, I don’t think it caused this much worry to the villagers or family. These guys this time are terrible guys…, And I don’t think there was ever a case where three villages came together to form a delinquent organization.’
We arrived at the forest where the rogue group that Thomas belonged to was likely to be located.
As I was looking around, I heard a sign of people in the distance and when I got closer, I saw a group of men riding in a carriage and giggling.
“Haha! Isn’t it really easy to rob a carriage? Did you see the expression on the old man’s face when his carriage was robbed? Haha!”
Haha. As the brothers said, robbing a carriage is really easy. Let’s sell this wagon and use the money to trick prostitutes in town and bring in more, right? “It seems like a new group of prostitutes has opened up in the Blueberry Village area of Springfield, and there are a lot of pretty nice girls there.”
