Chapter 1126
I found the boy who I saw last time
“Kyau?”
“Yes. …And this is Sherry. A fenrir cub who is also my familiar.”
“Kyau-kyau!”
“Not only a Silver Fenrir, but there is a fenrir cub…familiar.”
The people watching were surprised at this. I was glad that Tilura’s familiar, Rahle, was not here as well. That would be too much.
“Hello, Liza!”
“Ms. Delia! Haha!”
“Wuff… Liza, it’s dangerous to pounce on people so suddenly!”
“Haha!”To the side, I saw that Ms. Delia and Liza were having their own reunion.
But as I smiled and watched them, I noticed that there was a certain boy looking at them too.
Well, they were two beastkin making a scene, so it was only natural that they would attract some attention.
“Hmm… What’s the matter?”
“Ah! No-nothing!”
I left Leo to Ms. Emeralda and the other servants, and approached the boy.
He flinched and then looked away as if uninterested.
Hmm? Now that I think about it, wasn’t he the one who was charging into Leo before?
He seemed to be around the same age as Liza.
It was during a meeting, and Leo had been playing with Liza and the children. And then this boy had picked up a stick and was trying to fight Leo.
For Leo, it was just a game. But even now, the boy seemed like he was interested in Liza.
“Are you curious about Liza?”
“Eh? What are you talking about, you old man?”
I was quite sure I had mentioned her name before, but perhaps he did not remember.
Unless it was a different kid… Or perhaps he had been so angry that he wasn’t listening to anything else.
Also, I really was not old enough to be addressed like that…
“Oh, so you didn’t catch her name then. Liza is the girl over there. The one with two tails.”
“!?”
For a second, his face had turned red as he looked.
Yes, he was easy to read…
“So you are curious about her then.”
“Tha-that’s not true!”
Well, kids could rarely be honest at that age. He did not know what to do, and ended up just playing tricks that made girls dislike him.
I had known boys like that when I was young. Obviously, I was never like that at all.
“Yes, yes… Hey, Leo! Come over here!”
“Wuff?”
“Ah…”
Much to Ms. Emeralda’s dismay, Leo quickly came when called.
As for Claire, she was going around and letting her employees pet and look at Sherry. As she was not very big, the people were not intimidated by her.
“Alright, you see this boy, here?”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff!”
“So you do remember him. The thing is, he…”
“Wuff… Wuff…”
I petted Leo and explained the situation to her while pointing at the boy.
Leo had remembered what happened last time, and nodded knowingly.
“Alright then. If you want to befriend Liza, you must defeat Leo and me!”
“Wuff!”
“Whaaaaat!? Are you crazy, old man!”
“…Cut it out with the ‘old man.’”
It was partially a punishment for the insult as well.
…Of course, I was mostly joking… But I also felt it was my duty to test if he was worthy!
I found a stick that had been lying around…which was strange. But it seemed like there used to be a building here, and some materials had been left.
After making sure that it was safe to use, I handed it over to the boy.
It was probably a little too big for him, but it was still lighter than a real sword. And there was no sharp blade, so no one would get hurt.
Besides, even if there was an accident, I would be responsible and make some Loe immediately…
