[Ellie's P.O.V.]
"Chloe was infected with substance X, causing her to hallucinate and commit suicide. We came to her house to see if there are any clues."
We explained the reason to the new village chief without hiding anything. He was an old man here, so maybe we could get some information from him.
After he heard our explanation, he immediately expressed his understanding and invited us to his house.
Kirk and I were sitting in the new village head's house. Their village was really old and broken down. Even though the village chief's house wasn't any better than Chloe's house, it was a lot neater.
We sat in the only spacious place in the village chief's house. He brought us two small stools that were as tall as the table. Kirk's tall body sat on the small stool, making him look a little funny.
The village chief brought us each a cup of tea. He said that this tea was brewed with tea leaves unique to his village. One sip would make one happy.
