A little over protective
“Sister Deliaa and the fenrirs were with … But I like being with you and mama…”
“Wuff…”
Even though she was still sulking, Leo replied quietly.
She was worried about Liza too… Even though she was still curled up in the corner of the room.
“Well, while we had so important things to do… It does not an we should leave you for too long.”
I had wanted to keep her away from Deurgo.
But Liza didn’t know that.
“Uh…I’m sorry for being selfish…”
“No, it’s fine. You should say whatever you feel. I said that I won’t leave you alone…”
I patted her on the head, and her tails wagged a little.
“I know it’s not your fault, papa. I heard from Volgrau earlier. You didn’t want to et the bad man, right?”
“Uh…yes…”
I had forgotten to tell Volgrau to not tell Liza.
“Sister Delia said the sa thing. That you didn’t take for my sake.”
“I see..”
Ms. Delia too!
“But… It’s worse for …to be away from you and mama. Besides, I’m used to people saying bad things and bullying. I don’t want to be left behind..”
“Yes. You’re right. I’m sorry.”
I now realized that I had made a mistake.
Of course, just because she was used to unpleasant things, I did not want her to experience them… But I suppose leaving her alone could also an leaving her to her thoughts. Ꞧ𝔞ꞐΟʙЁș
There were other ways… I could have just kept her in the other room with Claire.
Perhaps I was being over-protective.
“So… Please don’t leave again…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t.”
I continued to pat her on the head so that she cald down.
“I’ll try to explain things to you properly from now on. And then you can make the decision for yourself. And we’ll stick together as much as possible. Alright?”
“Yes. I’m fine. I know you and mama are thinking about …”
“We don’t like to be away from you either.”
“Yes… Is it a promise?”
“It’s a promise.”
Like that, I talked to Liza quietly until the feeling of loneliness went away.
Eventually, her tails were wagging happily again. And shortly later, she fell into a peaceful sleep.
In the corner of my vision, I saw that Leo still had her back turned towards . But she had one eye opened a crack, and was looking in my direction.
“Wuff…”
As if noticing that I was looking at her, she sighed and closed her eyes.
Though, this ti it sounded like a sigh of relief.
I chuckled and got into bed.

“Mr. Takumi!”
The next day, we were to see the employees off, as they were all returning for now.
Ms. Delia was already crying in the entrance hall…
It had been like this in Bleiyu village as well. Even if it was just a temporary separation, she seed to beco highly emotional…
