My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World - Chapter 760

Sebastian talked about the family’s history

“There’s no problem. It is not like it would be troublesome for her to know. Most people know it already. And Ms. Delia seems to have a deep connection with fenrirs.”

“Indeed. Well then, if you would be so kind as to listen to an old man’s tale…”

I had already heard this story. According to Mr. Euto, this person had also come from our world. This woman who had the Gift. I think her name was Josephine.

Regardless, Sebastian looked very lively as he repeated this old story.

“Oh… So there is that connection. The duke and Silver Fenrirs…”

“As many of the people around here know, they also hold a reverence towards Silver Fenrirs. Even though no one had seen any up until recently… Well, perhaps some had. But if they did, I doubt the Silver Fenrir would have been as friendly as Leo.”

“Yes. I do believe that the only reason that Leo is so friendly, and does not attack humans, is because she is with Mr. Takumi.”

“Mr. Takumi must be very important…”

“No, I’m not really…”

“Well, in any case, the point is that you do not have to be so intimidated around Leo.”

“I suppose that is true… But when one is in front of a Silver Fenrir, it’s hard to…”

“Well, you will get used to it. I was like that as well. And so were the servants and my father. But now, they all like Leo and are always petting her.”

Uh, from what I remembered, Claire had been quick to approach Leo from the beginning… But I suppose she did hesitate in the very beginning when it came to riding on her.

That being said, we had saved her during the first encounter. So that might have something to do with it. She was being attacked by orcs.

Without Leo, I would not have made it in time… I was too slow on my feet. Also, I couldn’t even fight with a sword back then. So even if I was there, I would have just died along with her.

“So, Mr. Takumi. Why did you bring Ms. Delia here? I suppose the main reason was to introduce her to Lady Liza. But something tells me there was another reason.”

“Uh, so you could tell, Sebastian.”

“Well, you are very easy to read, Mr. Takumi…”

It’s not like it was a secret. I was just going to ask her, and if Ms. Delia agreed to it…

Still, I didn’t expect Sebastian to be able to guess this.

“Mr. Takumi. What are you planning to do with Ms. Delia?”

“What? Is he going to do something with me? Well, he does have a Silver Fenrir, so I suppose I will have to listen.”

“Please don’t brace yourself like that.”

Claire looked puzzled, and Ms. Delia looked strangely determined. It really was not necessary.

“Uh, but first… Can you read, Ms. Delia?”

“Oh…yes. The elders of the village taught me to read and write.”

I was not quite sure what the average education level was in this world. But it seemed like it wasn’t that unusual for people to not be able to read.

Apparently, Mr. Euto had put a lot of effort in education, so more people could learn… But in the end, it seemed like most people still learned from family members or through private lessons.

Of course, that meant that people like Ms. Delia or Liza would often be ignored.

Apparently, they did teach the children at the orphanage, but there was no one teaching in the slums. And so many of the children grew up like that.

It was one of the reasons that Nick had found it difficult to find work.

Though, Mr. Kalis was now teaching him.

I suppose it would be difficult to work and deal with customers without being able to read a little… Nick talked about how much he owed to Mr. Kalis, and how grateful he was. In reality, Mr. Kalis had probably done more for Nick than me.

In any case, if Ms. Delia could read and write, that was perfect. Though, it was rather unwise for me to start thinking ahead, without even confirming it first…
