Kaiketsu of Zorro - Diego x reader

Chapter 11

"Here you go. They'll help you get better and it's a lighter medicine. If you have any more problems with anything, come here any time."

You smiled and nodded, leaving with your new medication, back to your house.

                                             *At Home*

You set the medication on your drawer and spent the rest of the day gardening, with Lalita and Maria. The next day, you woke up to a loud noise of rain. It was cold and drowsy outside, which meant no laundry today. Yay! But at the same time, it felt way more depressing than usual because of the rain. You barely got out of your room that morning. You took your pills and head downstairs to help out. But that's when you saw Diego and Bernard heading out somewhere.

"Hey, where are you guys going?"

You asked, pointing at them and their raincoats. 

"Oh. We're going to the grape vineyard in Don Lucas's farm. We're going to help them build a dam for the water and help them collect grapes and the rest of the harvest they had this year."

You nodded understanding their explanation when Maria came out with a teapot in her hands.

"Diego, Bernard. You're ready. That's great. Oh, hello Y/N."

You turned her way and smiled.

"Maria, may I go and help them at the farm too?"

Maria thought for a moment and smiled. 

"Sure. Just make sure to drink a cup of tea before leaving. You're not fully cured right?"

You nervously swayed your head and rubbed your neck carefully.

"If you want to go and help them, then you better bring a whole bottle of tea with you and wear an extra layer of clothing."

You reluctantly nodded and went to put over a sweater and took the prepared bottle of tea from Maria. You three got in a carriage and drove off to Don Lucas's farm. Once you reached the farm, the supposed Don Lucas, greeted you and found you all a job. Bernard, You and Diego were filling wheelbarrows with rocks and bringing them to the river where everyone else was building a dam because the rain was pouring too hard, and it may cause the river to overflow. If the river does overflow, then the grapes and the rest of Don Lucas's harvest will be ruined. So as soon as you were assigned to a wheelbarrow, you took it in your hands and head off to find some rocks by the farm's mountain edges.

"Hey, Signora!"

You heard Signor Lucas call out to you.

"You may need someone else to help you with that!"

He called to you loudly through the gushing rain.

"It's fine!"

You called back to him from behind your raincoat's hood.

"I can do it by myself!"

You continued going further to the mountainous cliffs to gather rocks.

"Trust me, she's tougher than what she seems like."

Diego advised to Signor Lucas as he head off with his own wheelbarrow. You quickly saw a mountainside with lots of loose rocks and headed there. You gathered them and set them in your wheelbarrow. Once your wheelbarrow was full, you slowly walked back with the wheelbarrow to the dam. From a distance, you saw soldiers on horses coming closer to the dam. The horses stopped right in front of you, and you had to carefully get by them to Diego's side, where they were setting the rocks out.

"Good day Captain Jackal!"

Don Lucas greeted the captain.

"How is the progress with the dam going?"
