Ms. Anna and Milina saw us off by the door as we walked away.
It had also been decided that Milina would come to the mansion one week later.
That would be enough time to gather her things and say goodbye to everyone.
On our way back, Sebastian disappeared into several alleys a few times, but we continued on until we finally reached the plaza where the carriage was waiting.
“There is not much information yet…”
Sebastian said as he returned from one of his detours.
Apparently, he had been going to listen to reports from those he had sent to gather information.
Well, he did say that there wouldn’t be any proper reports until tomorrow, so it wasn’t surprising that there wasn’t much information at this point.
It had only been a few hours…so it was doubtful that they could gather all of the information already.
“Well, let us depart now.”
“Leo. Be careful that you don’t drop Sherry and Tilura.”
“Wuff.”
I got into the carriage with Ms. Claire, and then Sebastian took the reins and drove the carriage back to the mansion.
As Tilura and Sherry were sleeping on Leo’s back, I told her to be careful that they didn’t fall off.
But I was sure that Leo would think of them, and we had even strapped them on with a rope, just in case, so I was sure they would be fine.
Unlike before, Leo was calm during the return trip, and she ran quietly alongside the carriage.
“…Welcome back.”
We arrived at the mansion and let Johanna take the carriage and horses as we stepped inside.
Sebastian entered first, and told the servants that Tilura was sleeping. And so they welcomed us in quieter voices than usual.
…But they were still perfectly in sync.
“Thank you, Good Leo.”
“Wuff.”
Ms. Gelda and another servant approached Leo.
Leo barked softly in reply, and then crouched low so that they could pick up Tilura and Sherry.
Ms. Gelda held Tilura, while the other picked up Sherry, and they took them away to their room.
“Sebastian. I don’t want to trouble you, but…”
“I understand.”
As I watched as they were taken away, Ms. Claire spoke with Sebastian.
Was this about the malicious merchants?
While I couldn’t say that it had nothing to do with me, there was also nothing that I could do… I would just leave it to Sebastian.
And there was something oddly comforting about that… I suppose it was because he seemed like someone who could do anything.
“Lady Claire. Dinner has been prepared.”
“I see. Mr. Takumi, let’s go to the dining hall.”
“Yes. …Ah, I must drop my things off in my room first.”
“…Of course.”
I took Leo and returned once to my room where I dropped off my sword and other things. Then I headed to the dining hall.
There wasn’t much stuff, as we hadn’t gone shopping. But I didn’t want to take them with me to eat.
“Let’s eat then.”
“Is Tilura still sleeping?”
It was just me, Leo, Ms. Claire and Ms. Lyra in the dining hall.
Sebastian seemed to have a lot to do, as I had seen him moving busily around before I arrived in the room.
