My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 269

The Illness Was Nearly Stamped Out

“Leo, come over here. It’s lunch time.”

“Wuff!”

“And you sit over here, Sherry.”

“Kyau!”

“Lunch time!”

As I watched the maids serve the food out on the table, I called Leo to take her seat.

Sherry was on Leo’s head, but Ms. Claire picked her and carried her to her usual spot.

Tilura had also finished her studies, and she arrived in the dining hall just as everything was ready.

Ms. Anne remained in her seat, far away from Leo, because she was still wary after being scared.

But she would occasionally glance over to Sherry.

“Now, let’s eat.”

“Yes.”

“Wuff.”

After the food was served, Mr. Ekenhart gave the order, and we started to eat.

As always, Ms. Claire watched her father’s questionable table manners and sighed to herself.

But Tilura took no notice of it and focused on her own food. 

Ms. Anne smiled at how daintily Sherry was eating, but then she would glance at Leo and stiffen.

…Well, Leo was eating with just as much speed as Mr. Ekenhart… Perhaps Ms. Anne was imagining what would happen if she was bitten like that.

“Mr. Takumi, I have a message from Helena. She says that the wine mixed with Ramogi is ready, and so you should go and see it with Leo when you have time.”

“I understand. I will go after this then.”

“Oh, so Leo is finally going to check the wine. I’m counting on you, good Leo.”

“Wuff!”

“Really, can you trust a Silver Fenrir to check for diseases?”

While we drank tea after lunch, Sebastian came and delivered a message from Ms. Helena.

And so I would get that over with before it was time for my sword training.

Since we were still testing it, there would not be a lot. And even if it took a long time, I could just leave Leo with Ms. Helena and go to the garden alone.

However, Ms. Anne seemed skeptical about Leo’s ability.

She did not have much trust in Leo at all…

Perhaps it was due to the connection with the duke’s family, but the people in this house seemed to believe anything related to Leo without question.

But I suppose Ms. Anne’s reaction would be more common for the average person.

“Hmm? You doubt it, Anne?”

“As far as I am aware, the only way to find out is to use a magic tool. And so…Silver Fenrir or not, it should not be possible.”

“So, I suppose you won’t be drinking the wine then?”

“I did not say that!”

“Hahaha! Well, I do understand that it is difficult to believe. However, if Leo’s ability was false, then the disease would have spread much wider in Ractos by now. And she would not have been able to find the glass sphere…which spread it in the first place.”

“That…is true, but…”

Ms. Anne was right to have doubts.

I probably would have been the same if it wasn’t Leo.

In any case, Mr. Ekenhart laughed and reassured her.

“Sebastian, how are things in Ractos?”

“Yes, Your Grace. Thanks to Mr. Takumi’s herbs, it is nearly stamped out. Fewer citizens fall ill every day. And since we know the cause of the disease, and have gathered most of the wine, fewer people are at risk.”

“Well, while that alone may not be proof of Leo’s ability…it is clear that things would have been much worse without Leo and Mr. Takumi. It is possible that the town would not be able to function as before.”

Mr. Ekenhart asked Sebastian to explain about the situation in Ractos.

Thanks to my focus on making Ramogi, fewer people suffered from the illness now.

I didn’t know that they had started to gather the wine as well. And even if it wasn’t all of it, if it was infected, then it was a necessary move.

“Fewer people are coming to Mr. Kalis’s store to buy Ramogi. And so it shouldn’t be long before we can return to selling them at normal prices.”

“Hmm. Yes, because the reduced prices were done through reducing Mr. Takumi’s pay. But tell Kalis to be careful, so as to not cause any confusion.”

“Yes, certainly.”

“Anne, I know you have doubts, but I believe it because it is thanks to Leo and Mr. Takumi that the disease is on its way to being stamped out.”

“I believe it too.”

“Kyau!”

“Me too!”

“Thank you.”

“Wuff!”

So, they would be selling the Ramogi at the regular price soon.

As for the pay, I didn’t mind, since I was the one that told them to reduce it.

In any case, since the malicious store was no more, there would be plenty of herbs to go around. And I hoped Mr. Kalis would be able to handle things well when it was time to change the price again.

On top of that, I was happy to know that Mr. Ekenhart and the others had such trust in us.

And so Leo and I held back a feeling of embarrassment as we bowed and thanked them.

“Very well. If you are all going to insist on it, then I will believe it. But you must provide me with Ramogi immediately if I do get sick!”

“Anne… It sounds like you still don’t really believe it?”

“Hahaha. It’s fine. In any case, Leo will decide if the experiment is a success, and then we can all drink it. And yes, it will be easily cured with Ramogi if necessary.”

“Hahaha, indeed. Do your best Leo, so that no one gets sick.”

“Wou!”

“Kyau?”

“No, Sherry… You cannot do what good Leo does…”

“Kyau…”

While she did not sound convincing, Ms. Anne insisted that she was satisfied.

And if something happened, I could easily make some Ramogi, so there was no problem. But Leo wouldn’t let that happen anyway.

Sherry had been listening with a puzzled expression, and then she barked as if to say that she would also do her best. But Mr. Ekenhart refuted it immediately.

I suppose Sherry thought she could just copy Leo… She looked rather disappointed by the realization…

Ah, now Ms. Anne was petting her consolingly… She really was fond of Sherry.
