We headed to the slums
Claire took the lead and gave orders to the guards so that each party would have their own roles.
The guards would cover the main streets, where it should be easy to spot sothing as large as Rahle. Other places would be searched with the fenrirs.
A few others would be sent ahead to the slums and unite with the scouts.
Others would go to the easter gate and the city office, where Mr. Soldan was.
“Well, let’s go then. We have to catch Rahle and Tilura quickly…”
“I don’t know if catch is the right word, but, yes.”
“Wuff!”
This ti, Liza and I rode on Leo, while Ms. Johanna and Claire rode on Feri.
“Leo. Be careful so that you don’t crash into people and buildings.”
“Wuff-wuff!”
It was still early in the morning, so there were not as many people as usual.
But even if Leo did not run as quickly inside of the town, it would still be dangerous if she crashed into anyone.
Leo was smart enough to know this, but I warned her, just in case.
“Hey, papa. Did sister Tilura do sothing bad?”
“Hmm… Well, she has certainly caused a lot of people to be alard…”
“Really, Tilura… It is only because Rahle, that I do not have to worry that she is in danger.”
“Well, I doubt she would have co out here without Rahle.”
“I did not think this would happen, just because she gained a familiar. I will have to scold her later…”
“Ah, the road is getting more narrow. We won’t be able to run side by side…”
“Lady Claire! This way!”
“Thank you!”
One of the guards who had gone ahead, now waved at us.
“Wuff? Wuff-wuff!”
“Really? I see. Thank you, Leo. Claire, Ms. Johanna. And Feri! Rahle and Tilura are that way!”
“So they are near the center, and not on the outskirts of the slums.”
“Feri, can you head in that direction?”
“Gurr!”
I had ant to start near the outer rim, and move towards the center… But thanks to Leo, we would be able to save so ti.
“This area…is it…?”
“What is it, papa?”
“No. It’s just that it seed familiar.”
“Wuff. Wuff.”
As Leo followed the scent of Rahle and Tilura, I realized that we were going down a familiar path.
It looked different, since it was bright now, but it was likely the place where I had searched for Deam.
Leo seed to rember it as well.
“Kii!”
“That sound!”
“It is Rahle, Mr. Takumi!”
“It seems like it. I wonder if sothing happened… In any case, let’s go and see! Leo, hurry!”
“Wou!”
Suddenly, Rahle’s cry echoed nearby.
It was very distinct, and I didn’t see how it could be anything else but Rahle.
Of course, Claire heard it as well.
And so we rushed in the direction that we heard the voice.
