I decided to cooperate with Leo and act
“As for this Deam person, even Mr. Ekenhart cannot solve the problem imdiately. Though he is looking into it. So it may just be a matter of ti.”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“Still, we cannot take Liza to town easily until he is caught, right? And I want her to be able to have fun there without worrying about being pelted with rocks. She should be able to play with the children at the orphanage, and buy things that she wants, and eat at the food stalls.”
“Wuff!”
“But if Deam is still there, then she might be targeted again. …Not to ntion, it is not as if the people will change imdiately. It will take so ti. And so…”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff? …Wou!”
And so we talked about making things safer for Liza.
Once Leo heard about Deam, she beca quite enthusiastic.
“Even if we can’t do it imdiately…I want to do sothing. Will you help , Leo?”
“Wuff-wuff. Wuff! Wou?”
“Haha. I see. Thank you.”
Leo barked and agreed to help.
If anything, it sounded like she ant to act, whether I did anything or not.
But if I just left it to Leo, she might attack Ractos… So it was best that she helped .
The old ….before I ca to this world, might not have done anything.
It was through experiencing different things and eting people here, that I had started to change.
“I’m back, papa!”
“Welco back, Liza. Did you get clean?”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“Yes. Sister Lyra helped !”
“I see. That’s good. Thank you, Ms. Lyra. By the way…there was one thing that I wanted to ask you.”
“Yes, what is it? …Though, I think I might know what it is.”
“You do?”
“You seed to be thinking about sothing during dinner. And judging by what you spoke of earlier…”
“I suppose I am easy to read. In any case, could you take care of Liza tonight?”
“Papa? What happened?”
Apparently, Ms. Lyra knew what I was thinking about.
Leo knew as well. Was I really that easy to read?
Well, Leo and I had known each other for a long ti. And as a servant, Ms. Lyra was very observant of others…I think.
Regardless, Liza then turned to anxiously.
“It’s nothing, Liza. There is just sothing that I need to do now. I’ll be back soon.”
“…Really?”
“Yes, really. I would never lead you here and go sowhere else, alright?”
“Okay… I believe you.”
Liza seed to have sensed sothing by looking at .
But when I looked her in the eye and explained it, she nodded and said that she trusted .
“Very well. If Lady Liza is fine with it, I shall take care of her in your absence.”
“I’m sorry to ask you, after you had to stay up late last night as well…”
“No, I was given extra ti to rest. Well, Lady Liza. I hope you don’t mind staying with again?”
“I like Sister Lyra, because she is nice!”
Liza was quite fond of Ms. Lyra at this point.
And so she looked quite happy as she nodded in agreent.
She liked Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne as well…but she spent much more ti with Ms. Lyra.
“Thank you, Lady Liza. Well, Mr. Takumi, I’m sure you have preparations to make, so I think we should move to a different room.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Wuff.”
As Ms. Lyra left the room with Liza, Leo and I thanked her and bowed.
“Now…”
“Wuff…”
Since it was just Leo and left, I started to prepare.
Leo also got up as if she were going to do sothing. But unlike , she had nothing to carry.
I suppose she was just too anxious to wait quietly.
And so I ignored Leo as she paced back and forth, and I finished with my preparations.
“…I should take this, just in case.”
While packing, I picked up the katana that Mr. Ekenhart had given to .
I doubted I would be in any danger with Leo there… But I thought back on Range village and the orcs, and decided to take it with anyway.
I would use it if my usual sword happened to break.
It was night ti and dark, so hardly anyone would see it… Though, I might have to apologize to Mr. Ekenhart later.
“Alright, Leo… Are you ready?”
“Wou!”
Once I was finished, I called out to Leo, and we left the room.
Now, we will deal with the root of the problem of Liza’s troubles…!”
