Sothing was approaching
“Wuff… Wou?”
“She is saying that there is a presence and sll that is both familiar and unfamiliar…”
“Familiar and unfamiliar…”
Perhaps it was because the herbs were still having an effect… But she could even sll it.
We had just eaten lunch, and so the area around us slled like it. And yet Leo could detect sothing that was far away…
Either the thing had a really strong sll, or Leo’s ability to differentiate between scents was that powerful.
“Is it coming closer?”
“Wuff.”
Leo nodded.
It was in the forest, and coming from the opposite side of the road. So it was unlikely to be human.
A monster then… While it was possible, Leo would surely recognize the presence of an orc or troll imdiately.
So…what could it be then…?
“Ms. Claire?”
“Yes. …Father! Everyone. Good Leo says that a monster is approaching from the other side of the river!”
“A monster?”
“I see. Phillip. And the rest of you.”
“Yes!”
After being called by Sebastian, the guards were imdiately put down their food, stood up and unsheathed their swords. And then they turned to face the river.
They sure acted quickly.
“Leo… Do you know what kind of monster it is?”
“Wuff… Wou-wou.”
“She says it is familiar, but she’s not sure…”
“I see…”
Perhaps it was a monster she had never encountered before then.
But then what felt familiar about it…
“But is there any danger?”
“Wuff? Wou.”
“I see…”
That was probably not a good question to ask Leo.
She did not seem to understand the concept of danger to begin with.
After all, she could move faster than the eye could see, and slash open orcs and use magic. It was doubtful there were any monsters that could pose a threat to her.
“Kyau…? Kyau-kyau!”
“What is it, Sherry?”
I put Liza on top of Leo’s back, just in case.
Leo stood as if she was waiting for the thing to co. And as I prepared to give the go sign if necessary, Sherry suddenly started to bark.
And I could not understand her.
“Sherry, is that true?”
“Kyau! Kyu! Kyu!”
“…What is she saying?”
After talking to Ms. Claire, Sherry then barked as if she wanted to be heard far away.
It sounded a little happy. And so I asked Liza to tell what it ant.
“Sherry says it is her mama and papa. They are coming closer. And so Sherry called to them.”
“Sherry’s parents…? Then that ans…”
“Fenrirs!?”
“Oh!”
Mr. Ekenhart and Ms. Anne gasped in surprise.
“Ms. Anne, I think you should step back. It might be dangerous.”
“Mmm, that’s true. Anneliese, go back.”
“No! If they are anything like Sherry, then they must be quite adorable things. I want to see them up close!”
“Uh…hmm…”
While Mr. Ekenhart could fight, Ms. Anne had no power to speak of.
She had no fighting experience and never even held a weapon.
But even when the master of the house told her to stand back…she refused.
Now that I thought about it, Ms. Anne… She was so excited about the fenrirs, that she was standing very close to Leo…
Usually, she was too scared to co that close.
“Ah, Sherry!”
“Kyau! Kyau-kyau! Kyu-kyu?”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff.”
As I was thinking about Ms. Anne, Sherry suddenly jumped out of Ms. Claire’s arms and ran in front of Leo.
It seed like she was confirming sothing with her.
Liza then interpreted, and said that since it was her mama and papa, we did not need to be on our guard.
At the sa ti, she was asking Leo if she could et them.
Leo nodded in agreent, and told her to go and et with them.
While Leo could be harsh with her sotis, this was one of the tis where she was gentle.
