My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

It was time to say goodbye to Fen and Riruru

Much like with the fenrirs, Liza was hesitant at first. But after Tilura dragged her towards Rahle and made her touch the feathers, she seemed very impressed by them.

However, this made Leo a little jealous, and so I petted her in the meantime.

Don’t worry, Liza is very fond of you… She calls you mama, after all.

Besides, Tilura had even said that Rahle was not as soft as Leo.

Though, it seemed silly to compare the softness of a bird with that of a dog.

In any case, Leo seemed to be satisfied by this and let out a sigh.

I would try to pay her more attention once we returned to the mansion… Perhaps we could join Liza, Tilura, Sherry and Rahle when they are playing.

…Though, I wasn’t sure if there was enough space in the garden. Well, we could always go outside.

“Mr. Takumi. Can we empty the tents now?”

“Ah, yes. Sorry. I will just grab my things then…”

“Of course. Thank you.”

As I was watching Rahle and Liza, one of the maids asked me about the tent.

They were starting to pack everything, and so I would need to help as well.

I decided to let Liza and Tilura play for now, while I went off to help the servants.

The guards were taking down the tents, and Mr. Ekenhart was pulling out the stakes from the ground by force.

“Well, it is about time now…”

“Yes. While the place now feels so familiar, it is time to leave.”

“Indeed. So, Liza?”

“…Yes. Goodbye, Fen and Riruru! We will come again, so don’t forget the signal, okay?”

“Grau! Gau…”

“Grau! Gaa…”

Once all the preparations were finished, and we were ready to leave the forest, it was time to say goodbye to the fenrirs.

We could not take them back with us to the mansion. And they lived on the other side of the river.

Even though she had been scared of them at first, Liza was not quite sad at having to leave them.

Still, the fenrirs barked back, as if to promise that we would meet again… However, they did seem to sigh at the thought of being forced to do those poses again.

They had been quite embarrassed about that, after all…

“Sherry. Are you sure?”

“Kyau!”

“I see. …Uh, Fen and Riruru? I shall take full responsibility in caring for Sherry. So please do not worry. And we will come again and visit you.”

“Grau!”

“Gaaau!”

And then Ms. Claire and Sherry said their farewells. But just as the fenrirs were about to leave, Ms. Claire suddenly remembered something, and so she asked them in an apologetic voice.

“…Um, there was something that I was wondering… Perhaps you do not even know the answer. But…are there other Silver Fenrirs here aside from Leo?”

“Grau?”

“Gau. Gau-gau!”

“Kyau! Kyan!”

“I see. I understand. Thank you.”

Now that I thought about it, Ms. Claire had been searching for other Silver Fenrirs.

The last time we came, we had just found Sherry, and did not learn anything else.

Back then, she said that she would give up on the search…and so I thought she did not think about it anymore. But I was wrong.

Well, I suppose it was no wonder. It had been a childhood obsession, after all.

And since the fenrirs lived deep in the forest, perhaps she thought that they might know something.

I later heard from Ms. Claire that she really had stopped thinking about it completely. And it was only when saying goodbye to the fenrirs that she suddenly became curious again and asked them.

However, the reply had been, ‘we don’t know.’

The forest was vast, and they did not know everything.

However, they would have been able to sense its presence. So at the very least, there were no fenrirs within this area.

And so while the mystery was still not solved, Ms. Claire had a satisfied expression.

I didn’t know what she was thinking now. Was it because she would stop chasing after them, or because she thought there was still hope… Still it seemed to me that she petted Leo with extra gentleness after that…
