My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 146

Children took to Leo very quickly

“Wuff-wuff?”

“Hmm? Ah, wait a minute. …Uh, Rosalie…right?”

“Yes. I am Rosalie!”

After hearing Leo, I turned and addressed Rosalie.

She looked nervous, seeing as how I was the man who had brought a Silver Fenrir into their presence.

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Leo likes children. Why don’t you play with her?”

“…But won’t it try to eat me?”

“Leo wouldn’t eat people. Don’t worry… See?”

“…It’s so soft.”

“Wuff! Wuff!”

While Roalie had been afraid of being eaten at first, I assured her that it was fine, and then took her hand. 

I had her touch Leo’s fur. Once she felt how soft it was, her expression relaxed.

Leo also barked happily.

“Leo likes to play with children, and would never hurt anyone.”

“…But, Silver Fenrirs are not supposed to be so gentle…”

Mr. Hannese stared in disbelief. He was watching Rosalie pet Leo.

If you knew anything about Silver Fenrirs, you would find it difficult to believe such a sight. But Leo was quiet and gentle.

“Wuff. Wuff.”

“Aha! Hahah. That’s amazing.”

Leo barked, and then Rosalie got on top of her back as they played.

Children sure adapted quickly.

“Well, as you can see… It’s possible to ride on Leo. And that’s how I will catch up with you.”

“…It can carry people…”

“Yes. Leo is faster than any horse, and so the journey will only take one day at the most.”

I didn’t know how long it was exactly, but given Leo’s speed, it was a good estimate.

Though, I had yet to make Leo run at full speed. So perhaps she was even faster.

…But then again, I might fall off. So I would have to limit her speed a little.

“I see… In that case, I can understand. You have a Silver Fenrir who obeys you… That makes you trustworthy, I think.”

“I’m glad that you believe me.”

“Well, that settles things. Now…Lyra.”

“Yes.”

Mr. Hannes decided to trust us.

As he knew about Silver Fenrirs, seeing Leo’s calm behavior increased his trust in me.

I did feel a little sad that I was unable to earn his trust on my own merits, but I suppose that could come later.

I should be happy that I have such a reliable buddy.

Ms. Claire called Ms. Lyra, who then approached Mr. Hannes.

“You must be tired from your travels. Please stay here today and rest.”

“…I am grateful for the offer…but I must return to my village as soon as possible.”

“I understand how you feel, but you should rest today. Besides, it will take time to prepare the medicine.”

“…Very well.”

Ms. Lyra was able to persuade him, and Mr. Hannes agreed to stay for the night.

He was quite elderly, and had traveled far… We didn’t want him to overextend himself.

Ms. Lyra looked at me and nodded.

…I see… So that’s why.

“Well, I will go and prepare the medicine. Though, it will take some time…”

“Thank you, Mr. Takumi.”

“Thank you!”

“Wuff!”

“Ah, Leo. You can stay here and play with Rosalie.”

“Wuff!”

I told them that I would prepare the medicine, and then I left the room.

Leo was about to follow me, but I had her stay and play with Rosalie.

It seemed like Rosalie would enjoy the company, and it would help take her mind off the village, and whether it would be saved or not.

And perhaps Mr. Hannes would get used to having Leo close by.

“That was a good move on Ms. Lyra’s part.”

She had signaled to me with a nod.

As I would be using Weed Cultivation to make the Ramogi, it would not take that long.

However, it was used as a convenient excuse to make Mr. Hannes rest.

“Well, I’ll do as she said and take my time.”

I muttered as I went to the back garden.

There, Tilura was still running with Milina and Sherry.

“There you are, Mr. Takumi. Will you train with me?”

“Sorry, but there’s something I have to do, so I won’t be able to train.”

I had to make the Ramogi for Range village.

However, I didn’t want to decrease the amount that I sent to Ractos either.

In that case, I had to train less, so that I wouldn’t have to make any herbs for recovery.

I doubted that I would be pushing myself close to the limit, but it was best to be safe.

“I understand. I hope it goes well!”

“Thank you. You too, Tilura. Also…don’t forget to study, all right?”

“Uh…yes.”

Tilura’s face darkened when she heard that, and then she returned to her training.

“Master. You’re not going to train today…? What happened?”

“Ah. It turns out that I have to prepare more Ramogi than usual.”

I then told her about our visitor, Mr. Hannes.

“If that is the case, I will assist you. I now have a grasp on handling medicine, after all.”

“Thank you.”

So saying, with Tilura training in the corner of my eye, I started to use Weed Cultivation.

I left the gathering to Milina.

While she still wasn’t used to doing this, she would get the hang of it eventually.

I had been the same at first…but after trying it many times, I became accustomed to it.

“I’m amazed every time I see your ability, master.”

“Well, there are limits to it.”

We talked as we worked to make the Ramogi medicine.

After it was gathered, I placed my hands over them to turn them into a dry state. And then Milina separated them and wrapped them up.

After repeating this for some time, we had a lot of medicine ready.

It was more than what I had made at the orphanage.

“…I suppose this is enough for now.”

“That was a lot of work!”

Milina said, but I wasn’t tired at all.

But then again, the Gift wasn’t related to using physical strength.

While I didn’t feel like I was going to faint, and thought I could keep going, it wasn’t good to test your luck.

I will make more tomorrow. And I should have a decent amount by the time that Mr. Hannes leaves.
