My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Spreading Reputation

“Rahle, you really don’t mind being outside?”

“Kii!”

“Rahle doesn’t mind.”

“I see… In that case, it is settled. The garden should be big enough, but…I hope you will not go too far. Because people who don’t know might be alarmed.”

“Kii!”

“Even if they don’t know what a Copper Eagle is, they will recognize a monster. So it would be best for it to stay here quietly.”

“Kii!”

Mr. Ekenhart asked Rahle for a confirmation.

Well, it really was monstrous in size… Anyone would recognize it as a monster if they saw it up close.

As the people trusted the duke, I doubted that any strange rumors would spread. Especially since Sebastian was going to explain matters. But even then, some people might be shocked at it.

That being said, the people of the mansion had to be told first.

Well, they could see that Leo and Mr. Ekenhart were calm, so it should be fine. But some of the guards were carrying weapons.

“Welcome back, Your Grace! Lady Claire, Lady Tilura. And Mr. Takumi and Leo!”

When we entered the house, we were greeted by the servants as usual.

“Mmm, I’m back.”

“Your Grace. Sorry to disturb you so after your return…”

“Did something happen?”

One of the butlers stepped forward and addressed Mr. Ekenhart.

Apparently, something had happened and he was going to make a report.

“It is from the main house. They are wondering when you will return.”

“Mmm… I really have stayed here for too long. Very well, I shall return tomorrow. Send the message to the house.”

“Certainly.”

“Mr. Takumi, Lady Liza, Lyra. Welcome back. And you too, good Leo.”

“Ms. Gelda.”

“Wuff-wuff.”

“Gelda. How have things been here?”

“Nothing has changed… Is what I would like to say, but Mr. Nick has said that Ractos is running out of herbs.”

“Herbs? I thought I left a lot with them…”

I had thought about how much had sold in Ractos up until now, and made what I assumed would be enough.

Surely this didn’t mean that some disease was spreading again…

“You are right, Mr. Takumi. It should have been enough… Apparently, it has become quite popular within Ractos.”

“Mr. Takumi’s?”

“Yes. And Mr. Kalis’s store. When the disease was spreading, it was the only store that had enough stock. And the prices were affordable. And so the reputation spread, and more customers started to come.”

“I understand that… But is it really so much that they would run out of herbs? Also…what did they think about me?”

“Apparently, the soldiers have spread stories about how you captured Deam. They say that you have worked to make the slums a safer place. Also…I think that Mr. Nick has done his share of spreading the word about you.”

“Ah…I see. Nick…”

I understood why Mr. Kalis’s store was becoming successful, but I didn’t realize people were talking about me…

Well, after capturing Deam, we had met Nick and talked, so he knew about what we had done.

And that had helped with the popularity of the store.

Well, it was a store that sold my herbs. So this was all good news to me.

“As Mr. Kalis’s store sells other products as well, those are also doing well. People who go to buy herbs…end up buying other things on the way. Or vice versa.”
