My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 1237
I heard an interesting witness account from the guard
Well, I could just have Leo carry the packages, and then we can buy something for the fenrirs. As I wondered what to do, Ms. Lyra suggested that I ask the guards.
I didn’t want to bother them while on duty…but then I saw that there were a few who were on their break, and were about to go out in order to get something to eat.
“Thank you.”
“Please leave it to us!”
I asked apologetically, and they happily accepted it.
They would buy sausages and other kinds of meat from the food stalls for me. Of course, I gave them some money.
“Mr. Takumi. Do you have a minute?”
As I waited for the return of the guards and the other fenrirs, a familiar guard approached me.
“You… Ah, we met in the slums before.”
It was the guard who I talked to when Deam was arrested.
It was night time, and it was raining. But I still remembered his face.
“Yes. Thank you for your cooperation that night. However, there is something I wanted to ask you.”
I believe he was the captain of the guard. What could he want with me?
“Recently, there have been increased sightings of fenrirs in the forest. Well, fenrir-like creatures, to be exact.”
“Fenrirs? I heard they were quite rare in the forest to the south of the town.”
“Yes. There have never been reports of fenrirs being close to the town before. Only vague sightings of something similar…deep in the forest.”
“Well, perhaps there are some stray fenrirs who got separated from their packs.”
“According to the reports, these were not alone. I wondered if the pack was on the move… But you seem to know a lot about them, Mr. Takumi. And so I thought that I would ask. We will be sending a report to Lady Claire soon.”
“I see…”
Apparently, I was being treated like a fenrir expert now… And it was hard to deny it, after showing how they obeyed me.
Well, when it came to fenrirs who were close to Ractos, I suppose I did know more than others.
“Did any of these people…get close to the fenrirs?”
“No. They left the forest immediately. After all, messages have been sent out from the duke to avoid agitating the fenrirs. But even without that, most people would run at the sight of them.”
Yes, but there would always be humans who ignored such warnings and attacked fenrirs as well.
Of course, you would be responsible for what happened after that.
“Uhh, they don’t know about any fenrirs to the south of this town. They can’t sense any now, and it doesn’t seem like any were around recently. They think you might be mistaken.”
I tried asking Leo and the fenrirs who were present.
Well, I suppose it was possible that the witnesses were mistaken…
“Could it be that they just saw ordinary wolves?”
“Wolves… I do not think they look similar at all. But I suppose it’s not impossible.”
There was something impressive and noble about the way that the fenrirs were standing now. I think they wanted to be praised.
“Well, it would be easy to tell them apart if you are used to seeing them… But the forest is dark, and your view would be obstructed. So if you were seeing them from a distance, I think you might get a different impression.”
“That’s true. And you and Lady Claire have been seen with fenrirs around town recently. So perhaps it is fresh in people’s minds.”
While no one would mistake a Silver Fenrir for a fenrir, as they were so different in size and color, the differences between fenrirs and wolves were not quite as big.
