“Leo’s senses were very sharp to begin with. And then she ate the herbs.”
“So that means…”
“Her senses have sharpened even more. And so I think that she is able to detect far away things that even you cannot.”
“…I see.”
Still…there really were finrirs here then…
As we had been on the verge of giving up, the others were very surprised.
Ms. Claire and Sebastian had reacted the most to this.
And I could hardly blame them.
“Leo. Are the fenrirs attacking a monster?”
I had heard that they hunted in packs.
In that case, they likely traveled as a pack and attacked other monsters.
And though we might be safe as long as Leo was with us, it seemed unwise to carelessly go too close to them.
“Wuff-wuff… Gau-wuff-wuff!”
But Leo shook her head to my question.
It was the fenrirs who were being attacked by something?
But what monster could be in this forest that was stronger than fenrirs…
“Ms. Claire, Sebastian. It seems like the fenrirs are being attacked. Are there monsters who are stronger than fenrirs in this forest?”
“A monster that attacks fenrirs…”
“I do believe that there are monsters that would attack fenrirs…at least, if there are many of them, and they are attacking a single fenrir… Perhaps a troll…”
“A troll… What kind of monster is that?”
“They are giants who are three meters tall. And they have such monstrous strength, that they can knock down trees with a single hand. And while it is said that they are weaker than fenrirs, if there a multiple trolls and only a single fenrir, then it may be a fair fight.”
“I see… Leo. What kind of monsters are attacking the fenrirs?”
“Wuff…gau-gau-gau.”
Five large monsters that walk on two legs… Yes, Sebastian was probably right, and they were trolls.
“I believe you are right, and they are trolls. Leo says that there are five of them.”
“I see…”
“Let’s go and help the fenrirs then!”
Ms. Claire had been silent up until now, but she suddenly shouted.
“But Lady Claire, there are five trolls. And we are not enough to go up against such an enemy!”
“But…!”
“Wuff!”
Just as Ms. Claire was about to answer to Sebastian’s protest, Leo interrupted them.
“Good Leo?”
“What is the matter?”
“Wuff-wuff… Gau-gau!”
Leo raised her paw as she had before.
And her claws were fully extended.
“Leo seems like she wants to fight.”
“Good Leo… However, five trolls are surely…”
“Wuff-wuff!”
That again… Does a strong enemy even exist for Leo?
“Uhh, Leo says that five trolls are just small fry. And it’s a simple job.”
