My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 215

Milina Did Her Best To Brew Some Tea

“Everyone, please drink.”

“Thank you, Lyra and Gelda.”

“And for you, Leo and Sherry.”

“Wuff-wuff.”

“Kyau.”

“Thank you. And you too, Milina.”

“No, I’m still learning… I just hope that I did it successfully.”

While we waited for Sebastian to return, Ms. Lyra poured tea for everyone.

Ms. Gelda prepared milk for Leo and Sherry. They both thanked her with a polite bark.

However, the tea that I was served was made by Milina, and she looked a little nervous.

Though she had been taught by Ms. Lyra, she was worried that this first cup of tea she made would not taste good.

“…Mmm. It’s delicious, Milina.”

“It is!? …What a relief.”

I took a sip of the tea that Milina had made.

It was in no way inferior to Ms. Lyra’s offerings, and the clear smell and sweetness were just right.

I let her know this right away, in order that she could relax, and she was visibly relieved.

It must have taken some practice to get to this point…

“Milina did very well. She was very insistent that she would be able pour you tea that you would enjoy, Mr. Takumi. And so she practiced while you were in Range village.”

“Is that so? Thank you, Milina. It’s very good.”

“Oh it’s nothing… It just seems that you always like to relax with a cup of tea…”

So she really had been practicing while I was in Range village.

I thanked Milina again, but she was very modest.

Indeed, while in this mansion, my favorite way of relaxing was to sit back and rest with a cup of Ms. Lyra’s tea.

Milina must have observed this and wondered if there was anything that she could do.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Sebastian. What did my father say?”

As I drank the tea and waited, Sebastian returned before ten minutes had passed.

Ms. Claire knew that this involved her father, and she was rather anxious to learn what he had to say.

Tilura was also looking at Sebastian with an expression of concern.

“I can hardly believe it, but… His Grace will arrive at this house tomorrow.”

“Father?!”

“What happened!?”

“Wuff?”

In a quiet voice, Sebastian informed the people in the room of Mr. Ekenhart’s arrival.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Claire and Tilura raised their voices in alarm, and even Leo stopped drinking her milk and turned towards us.

…Well, she was probably just reacting to Tilura’s voice.

“Sebastian. When you say tomorrow…you mean that Mr. Ekenhart is already on his way here?”

“Yes, that would be the case. It seems that my previous report…the one before you went to Range village…he left as soon as it arrived.”

According to Sebastian’s explanation, Mr. Ekenharts would have left his house at about the time that I returned.

So what happened to the report that confirmed details of the glass sphere?

“Why is Mr. Ekenhart coming directly?”

“So he can finally deal with the store and the count. Apparently, it was the details about the suspicious sphere that made him decide on it. This was before speaking to Isabelle, and so we didn’t have much information yet…”

“Indeed…”

Thanks to Leo, we knew that there was something wrong with the sphere, and that it was the reason for the illness, but it wasn’t appraised by Ms. Isabelle yet.

We had many suspicions, but nothing had been confirmed. But Mr. Ekenhart was still going to come back and deal with the store.

“According to the messenger, it’s because Mr. Takumi and Leo discovered it… This shows how much His Grace trusts you two.”

“Leo and me…”

“Wuff?”

We had only spent a few days with Mr. Ekenhart.

While he had taught me to use a sword, I had no idea that I had earned enough trust to make a duke act.

Though, it could be…that the trust was in the Silver Fenrir…

“His Grace received the other report regarding Isabelle’s appraisal on his way here. And so he sent a messenger, which is the one who arrived today.”

“I see…”

“So father will be here tomorrow.”

Previously, when Mr. Ekenhart visited, he had also received word of Ms. Claire’s safety while he was on his way.

So something similar had happened this time as well.

But unlike that time, Mr. Ekenhart was not arriving on the same day, and so the servants at least had some time to prepare.

…Thinking this, I glanced towards Ms. Lyra and Ms. Gelda. They seemed quite nervous, when they usually seemed so calm and at ease.

Well, Ms. Gelda didn’t always look so calm, but it was rare to see Ms. Lyra like this.. I suppose preparing would be hard work regardless.

“If His Grace is coming…then you will have to tell him all about Range village, Mr. Takumi.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Interrogation… No, it wouldn’t be that. But, of course, I would have to give him a detailed account of it.

Besides, I had personally witnessed much that had happened in Range village.

“And now, we must prepare to receive His Grace.”

So saying, Sebastian and the other servants all left the dining hall.

As Milina went with them, she was probably going to help.

After seeing them leave, everyone let out a sigh and took a sip of tea.
