Leo and the others were playing
“Wuff!”
“Kya! Ahaha!”
“Leo is amazing!”
“Can Sherry do it too?”
“Kyau…kyau!”
“Woah, amazing!”
While feeling tired, I shrugged it off and went out into the garden in order to see what the others were doing.
Leo was lifting the children up by their sleeves, or jumping over their heads.
One kid asked Sherry if she could do the sa, and so she dashed through them swiftly.
While they were different sizes, they were both able to have fun and play with the children.
“Are you alright, Ms. Delia?”
“Yes…sorry about earlier.”
Ms. Delia was still clutching the towel, but had regained her calm as we walked.
“Ah, papa! He’s back!
“Wou!”
“Ah. Were you having fun out here?”
“Wuff.”
Leo noticed us, and just like in front of Mr. Kalis’s store, she jumped off of Leo and landed in front of us.
And then Claire and I patted her on the head.
“Ms. Delia. How are you with children?”
“Uh, umm. I played with them a lot in the village. While I don’t like it when they grab my tail, I am used to being around them.”
“Alright… Then…do it, Leo!”
“Wou!”
Leo must have understood what I was thinking, as she quickly moved and picked up Ms. Delia by the sleeve.
“Huh? Ah! What!?”
“Yay! Just like Liza!”
“Hey! What? What are you…”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff!”
“Very well…if it is Leo’s order!”
“Ms. Delia. You don’t need to be so tense. She is just playing!”
Ms. Delia was shocked by how sudden it was, but Liza was overjoyed.
“Mr. Takumi, you always do this when soone is afraid of Leo, yes? Like Father…Gelda… Though, you made them ride on her.”
“Haha. Well, I want them to understand how cute Leo actually is. Besides, if Ms. Delia agrees to teach Liza, then she will have to get used to being around Leo. So we might as well get an early start…”
Leo also liked people, and so she would actively try to play with them.
“Mr. Takumi. Lady Claire. Preparations have been made.”
“Thank you, Lyra.”
“Thank you.”
As we watched the children play, Ms. Lyra prepared a table and chairs for us.
And then Ms. Anna ca by. She had been talking with the others about what we had discussed.
“Mr. Takumi. We have decided that we will be able to send two people from the orphanage for now, as supervisors.”
A pair, a man and woman, bowed their heads several feet away.
“As for the children… That will have to wait. It is all so sudden, and they will need ti to get used to the idea.”
“Yes, of course. We are still making preparations in Range village anyway.”
Now that I thought about it, we hadn’t discussed when we would be hiring and moving… And so we couldn’t take them now, even if they were ready to go.
