My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 268

Ms. Anne Was Very Surprised

“…Ms. Claire, Ms. Anne?”

“Oh, Mr. Takumi. So you are already finished?”

“Yes. As it was a success, I left the rest to Milina.”

“I see. I’m glad that it worked well.”

“There, there, there…”

“Kyau, kyau!”

“Here? You want me to pet you here?”

“Kyau!”

When I entered the dining hall, Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne were sitting there together.

As I answered Ms. Claire and looked towards Ms. Anne, I saw that she was petting Sherry happily… So, she was at least used to dealing with fenrirs.

Though, Sherry seemed to be…more interested in Ms. Anne’s hair rolls than she was interested in being petted…

She moved her front paws as if punching like a cat… Yes, it looked like a cat playing with some kind of toy.

But fenrirs weren’t supposed to be like cats…

“I see you’ve become quite friendly.”

“Yes. She absolutely insisted on playing with her while Tilura was studying.”

“I had no idea that fenrirs were such adorable creatures! This is quite the discovery!”

“…I think that this fenrir might be a special one… But more importantly, why are you here, Mr. Takumi?”

“Well, I went to the kitchen to give Ms. Helena the herbs, but they seemed very busy…and I thought since lunch would be ready soon…”

“Wuff. Wuff.”

“Hehehe. I see that good Leo is also impatient to eat.”

I watched Ms. Anne and Sherry play with a smile, and then I took my seat.

Ms. Claire was a little curious as to why I was here so early, and so I answered her, as did Leo.

“You seem to get along quite well with Ms. Anne after all?”

“…No, no we do not get along.”

“Really? But you’re together now…”

“That is because she stalks me relentlessly. And as Sherry’s guardian, I could hardly leave her alone with…”

“Oh, I see.”

“In any case, I will eventually tell you about what happened between us.”

“…Very well.”

They had appeared to be on good terms for a moment, but it seemed like it was merely a result of the advice that I had given to Ms. Anne.

I had suggested that she talk with Ms. Claire…which was probably something that Ms. Claire did not appreciate at all.

However, it did seem like there was a reason that the two did not get along…

“Wuff?”

“Hmm? You want to join them?”

“Wuff-wuff.”

“Well, go slowly, so you don’t startle her, okay?”

“Wuff.”

“Hehehe. I see that good Leo does not like to be seen as scary.”

Leo had watched Sherry being petted by Ms. Anne, and wanted to be petted as well.

I didn’t think that she was jealous of Sherry, because Ms. Anne wasn’t afraid of her, but she was still bothered at being avoided all of the time.

And so I told her to move slowly. Leo nodded and walked quietly over to Ms. Anne.

But Ms. Anne was too preoccupied with Sherry to notice Leo’s approach. Perhaps she had not even noticed that we entered the room…

And so Ms. Claire and I smiled and watched as Leo stealthily walked up behind Ms. Anne.

“Kyau?”

“WUFF!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!”

“Pfftt!”

“Hahaha! Ms. Claire, you shouldn’t laugh at her.”

“But you are laughing too, Mr. Takumi. Hehehehe!”

Sherry saw Leo approaching, and so she barked and tilted her head to the side.

Just then, Leo barked behind Ms. Anne, who then let out a great shriek and jumped up from her seat.

Upon seeing Ms. Anne fall to the ground and land on her buttocks, Ms. Claire could not hold it back any longer. She burst into laughter, and so did I.

In the end, while Leo had moved carefully, it was the bark that stpoiled it… Perhaps I shouldn’t have said anything to begin with?

“Wh-wh-wh-wh-why is it behind me!! Is it going to attack!?”

“Calm down, Anne. Good Leo would never attack a human.”

“Wuff.”

“Kyau!”

“Wou.”

Ms. Anne shuddered as she sat on the floor and looked up at Leo.

While Ms. Claire tried to calm her down, she was not very successful.

Now that Ms. Anne was not looking at her, Sherry jumped away from the chair and landed on top of Leo’s head.

It was her favorite spot, and she seemed quite happy.

Leo didn’t mind if Sherry was there, and she just barked quietly to her.

“It should not appear behind me so suddenly like that…”

“I think Leo just wants to play with you, Anne. Because you only play with Sherry…”

“That’s easy for you to say…”

“Hahaha. Are you really so frightened by Leo, Ms. Anne?”

“By living here…I do see and understand that it doesn’t really attack people… But you still cannot expect me to act normal when around such a huge Silver Fenrir.”

“Wuff?”

Now that Ms. Anne had finally regained her calm, she got up from the floor and sat in a chair that was far away from Leo.

It’s because I’m too big? Leo seemed to ask with a bark, which only served to make Ms. Anne jump.

Well, she was a wolf that was big enough to carry multiple people. And so the fear would not be easy to shake off for some.

“Oh, Claire, Anne, and Mr. Takumi, you are here.”

“Mr. Ekenhart.”

“Father.”

“Your Grace…”

“Wuff.”

“Kyau.”

“Haha. You looked very tired, Anne. Was it Leo again?”

As I was watching Ms. Anne, Mr. Ekenhart opened the doors of the dining hall and entered. Behind him were Sebastian and the maids, who brought in the food. So lunch was ready now.

Mr. Ekenhart sat at the table and laughed at the sight of Ms. Anne.

Unlike a moment earlier, she was calm and collected again, but her hair was in disarray, so Mr. Ekenhart could guess as to what had happened.

…Just by her hair… That was rather impressive…
