My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

I went out into the back garden

“Leo…I know you just bathed, but let’s go outside.”

“Wuff.”

I thought that it would be good to cool off, and so I headed out into the garden with Leo.

Leo seemed to have realized the reason, and so she followed me quietly.

“Hmm, since it’s the middle of the night, it’s quite cool and comfortable…”

The gentle wind felt nice against my body, which was warmed from the hot water.

“Ah, nevermind me…”

Some of the servants had come out to check on the herbs. And they were about to bring out some tea when they saw me, but I told them that I was fine.

“Oh, Rahle?”

“Wou.”

As I was enjoying the cool breeze, I heard a familiar cry from the night sky above.

Leo was sitting next to me, and she barked in agreement.

“Kii… Kii?”

“Good evening, Rahle. Sorry, but Tilura is already sleeping.”

“Kii.”

Rahle landed next to us and cried as if a greeting. Then it turned its head around like it was searching for someone.

As Leo and I were here, it probably thought that Tilura would be with us.

I apologized to Rahle, and it raised its right wing as if understanding.

Leo and the fenrirs were like that as well. I suppose the monsters here were good with gestures.

“Ah, by the way… Can I ask you something, Rahle?”

“Kii?”

Since Rahle was here, I decided to ask something that I had been wondering about.

Thankfully, Leo was also here to act as a translator.

“I don’t know much about birds, but… I thought you would have trouble seeing at night?”

“Kii… Kii? Kii-kii.”

“Wuff. Wuff-wuff. Wou.”

“Huh? Is that so…”

Upon hearing the question, Rahle tilted its head as if puzzled.

According to Leo’s translation, birds here were able to see just as well as humans during the night.

I see…

Well, maybe it was just something that I misunderstood. After all, owls could see well during the night.

“Kii. Kii-kii.”

“Wou. Wuff-wuff.”

“Hmm? Is that so?”

“Kii. Kii!”

“Wou!”

“Uh, different from edible birds… Well, yes, Rahle isn’t like other birds…”

Rahle continued to cry in order to tell me something.

According to Leo, it was the birds you could eat that couldn’t see well at night… So I guess she was talking about chickens?

“Thank you, Rahle. I learned something useful.”

“Kii!”

“Wou.”

“You really can’t say no to Leo, huh…. Like she is your leader?”

“Kii-kii!”

“Wou-wou.”

“Because Leo will turn you into roasted chicken…? Well, I suppose she could do that…”

When I thanked Rahle, it raised its wing as if to say that it was nothing.

And then Leo nodded.

Unlike Tilura, it probably treated me like this because of Leo’s influence. It was almost like it was trained.

But perhaps it was not surprising, since Leo had knocked it out of the sky with magic.

…She had changed so much from that small and cowardly maltese.

Though, she was still weak to the shouting of humans.

“Do you eat birds too, Rahle? I know that you’re a monster, but…”

“Kii? Kii-kii.”

“Wuff. Wou.”

“I see…they are just food.”

Apparently, Rahle liked all kinds of meat. And even if it was a bird of a similar shape, it was still food.

Well, I suppose Rahle was at the top when it came to bird monsters, so it didn’t matter.

“Mr. Takumi. There you are.”

“Ms. Gelda?”

“Wuff?”

I continued to talk to Rahle a little longer after that, and then I made my way back to my room. And while in the hallway, Ms. Gelda called to me.

It seemed like she had been searching for me. Has something happened?
