Now that I think about it… When Mr. Ekenhart had said that there was a lot to talk about, Ms. Claire, Tilura, and Sebastian’s faces had tensed up a little…
I suppose it was because they thought he was talking about the marriage proposals?
“Well then, let’s go, father.”
“Mmm. Mr. Takumi…and good Leo. Please tell me about what happened in the drawing room.”
“Yes.”
“Wuff.”
But Ms. Claire’s face switched to a smile in an instant, and she led her father to the drawing room. Mr. Ekenhart then told me and Leo to follow.
I could tell by the way that he addressed Leo that he was still nervous around her.
We both answered and then followed them to the drawing room.
In the meantime, the servants also began to leave in order to get back to their work.
Good work, all of you. I hope that next time, I will be able to watch you practice your greeting.
They were all in perfect sync, and so I thought it must be interesting to see if they were so perfect when practicing.
“Now, since we’re all here and settled, let’s hear what Mr. Takumi has to say. Why is there a Silver Fenrir with you? They are monsters that do not obey humans.”
“Yes…”
And so for a while after that, I told him everything that I had already told Ms. Claire and the others.
How I had come from what I thought was another world, and that it was where I had first found Leo. How I had raised her. How I had suddenly woken up in the forest, and that Leo had turned into a Silver Fenrir. And how we wandered through the forest, and then encountered Ms. Claire as she was being attacked by an orc.
“…I see… I understand your position now, Mr. Takumi. Still, whether it’s going into the forest alone to help Tilura, or taking the fenrir with you, so that it’s not attacked by monsters, you really are a sweet child, Claire… And Tilura, I’m so glad that you are better…”
After everything I said…after all of Ms. Claire, Tilura, and Sebastian’s supplementary information, and Leo’s nodding and barking, that was the first thing Mr. Ekenhart said…
I understand that he doted on his daughters, but… Was that really the right reaction for the master of the house? I was starting to worry about the Liebert family.
