We decided to question the wolf after moving
“There was no talk of such a thing today. The soldiers and guards were extra alert due to Lady Claire being here. And they would have reported anything like that.”
They had not heard anything about a wolf. In other words, it had not been discovered by anyone yet.
“Nicholas. How long would it usually take for them to patrol the whole town?”
“…Normally, they would do it three tis in half a day. But since they were extra cautious today, it was four tis… And it would be around three to four hours.”
“In that case…Claire. Sothing must have happened here right after the last patrol.”
“I see…”
Well, even if they were patrolling the whole town, it would be impossible to see everything.
And they probably tried to send most personnel to places with a lot of people, like the large streets.
“Regardless, we can just ask the wolf directly. Right?”
“Bow?”
“Indeed… It would be better to ask than to speculate.”
I massaged the wolf’s cheeks while my face was close to its nose.
The wolf looked like it didn’t understand, but it was not hostile towards us, and would probably answer if we asked.
That being said, this was no place for such talk. And so we decided to move.
We sent Nicholas out with a ssage for Sebastian again, and then we headed towards the guard house.
The wolf followed us obediently, and showed no signs of wanting to run away.
However, Leo would stick close to the whole ti, which made it difficult to walk. While the wolf stuck to on the other side. I must have looked quite strange to passersby.
Even Claire and the others chuckled with amusent.
“How was it, Nicholas?”
“Everyone was very surprised…obviously. But Mr. Sebastian and Mr. Alfred seed to be enjoying themselves.”
“Haha. I can imagine that. Especially Sebastian. And what about Phillip?”
“He will stay with them and return to the mansion.”
When we arrived, we were taken to the kind of spacious room the captain would use, thanks to Claire. And then I listened to the wolf’s explanation.
After that, Nicholas returned and told us how things were going with the others. We did not all reunite in the end, but after the employees had gone around to the stores, they had been introduced to Feri and the others.
And then they were invited to the mansion.
As for Tilura, she had also headed back as well. She wanted to introduce Rahle to the others.
“Well, Mr. Takumi and Lady Claire. You do not seem very cheerful…”
Nicholas seed to have detected sothing in our faces.
I had tried to lighten the mood with talk of Sebastian, but it had not worked.
“What we heard was not very nice.”
“I see…”
What the wolf told us… It had spoken honestly without any attempt to hide. Perhaps it was because Leo was watching as well.
But Liza, who had interpreted for us, did not seem that bothered…even though it was sothing I wished she didn’t have to hear.
Perhaps it would have been better for Claire to ask through Sherry.
“The wolf was badly injured…by its own master. A human call Deurgo.”
