My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World - Chapter 762

I asked her to extend her stay

“In the first place, everyone is supposed to return home once the interview is over. Though some will likely stay in Ractos, most will leave. And we will notify them later if they are hired.”

“Yes. And so I was going to return to the village and help them with their work while I waited.”

“I see… Uh, would it be possible for you to stay for one day longer?”

“If it is just one day… I think I could manage… But why?”

“Because I want you to spend a little time with Liza and Leo. But I also think you should have plenty of time to rest, or you will be tired when you have to travel tomorrow.”

“Oh, then I don’t mind…”

“Indeed. Her village is not that far from Ractos, and there are usually no monsters on the road. Still, after everything that happened today, it would probably be best to take it easy…”

While everyone agreed that she should stay for an extra day, Ms. Delia still looked hesitant. Perhaps it was because she didn’t want to use more money.

Of course, I did not want to force her if she didn’t want to. However…

“I understand that you want to save on lodging fees. I was in a similar situation as well.”

“Mr. Takumi is too modest…”

“You saved Lady Claire, so it was nothing…”

“We-well…never mind that. In any case, since you are going to spend time with Liza, I will pay for your inn. Now, you may hesitate to accept, but since I’m the one making the request, I have to do that much, at least.”

“Not at all! We’re just going to talk a little…”

“Well, even putting aside the idea of teaching her. I want Liza to have acquaintances like you. Perhaps trying to solve things with money is a little questionable… But that’s all that I can do for now.”

“Hehe. If Liza knew about this, she would probably be worried about you, Mr. Takumi.”

“Or she would be angry. ‘You don’t have to think about that!’ So, Ms. Delia. Please don’t say anything about this to her.”

As both were beastkin, I had feeling that there would come a day when Ms. Delia and Liza would need each other.

After all, she was bound to have troubles living amongst humans that only someone like her could understand.

Even if she was fine now, I felt that she would feel better to have a beastkin friend.

And so considering all that, paying for a room was nothing

While this might come off as a little bold, Ms. Delia was so reserved that being insistent to a certain degree was probably for the best. At least, that’s what I thought.

“Ve-very well. Um… I will not tell Lady Liza that you are so concerned about her.”

“Thank you. Also, you can just call her Liza. That way, you won’t feel so distant, and it should help her relax more. In fact, I wish Sebastian and the others would do the same…”

“Well, we think of you two as guests. So a degree of formality is important. Besides, it is best that the servants do not feel too relaxed. Hoho…”

A short while ago, he had been concerned that the servants seemed to be acting a little strange. They were too cheerful, or they were complaining about things…

Well, from their point of view, I suppose that talking to us in such a formal way helped to keep them focused, and not get too careless.
