My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World - Chapter 765
Ms. Delia could use beastkin magic
“Ah…I’m sorry. I just could not allow it… I suppose my body just moved on its own…”
“Phillip, go and call the guards. No, Ms. Delia, there is no reason for you to apologize. Still, it did look like you are used to doing this?”
“Sometimes, thieves would come to steal from the village fields… And there were times when I had to catch them. Also, orcs would come out of the forest. Of course, the villagers were also used to it and able to defend themselves. But I was always eager to help, and it naturally became my job…”
“I see…”
Still, judging by the way that she walked and moved, I felt like it wasn’t just because she was used to catching people. Being a beastkin must have something to do with it as well…
“Thank you. Ah, Lady Claire…so sorry for causing you trouble…”
“Oh, it is the thief who is wrong, not you. Besides, it is my family’s responsibility to keep this town safe. I should be apologizing…”
“No, not at all!”
As I was thinking about Ms. Delia’s beastly movements, Claire and the shop owner were talking.
He was selling vegetables, and Ms. Lyra handed him the ones that had been stolen.
“That was amazing!”
“Yes, I want to be able to move like that!”
“Oh…it was…”
“Hoho. She is quite popular now.”
“…Wou.”
“Now, now, Leo. Don’t be so sad because you lost an opportunity to show off. Just be glad that he was caught.”
“Wuff.”
Liza and Tilura were excitedly surrounding Ms. Delia and praising her.
And I had to console Leo in the meantime.
Later, we handed over the thief to the guards. Claire and Sebastian took care of matters, and then we continued on our way to the orphanage.
“Ms. Delia. Can you use magic?”
“…You could tell?”
“Well, kind of…”
While walking, I asked her what had been on my mind.
“I cannot use the kind of magic that the villagers used. However, and I don’t remember when…but I started to be able to do things… Like making my body lighter so I can move quicker. I do it without thinking, really.”
“…So, it is magic specific to beastkin?”
“They say that it is rare for beastkin to use magic. But when they do, it is usually magic related to their physical abilities.”
“Is there really magic specific to beastkin?”
“Huh? Uh…”
“There is magic used by humans and magic used by beastkin. And they cannot use the magic of the other.”
Apparently, Ms. Delia didn’t know that there was magic that she could only use because she was beastkin.
And so Sebastian was happy to explain it to her.
“So that is why I couldn’t use the same magic as the other villagers!”
“Indeed.”
“What a relief… It was not my fault then. I wanted to learn, so that I could help them. But I just couldn’t do it. They told me to not worry about it, but I couldn’t help but blame myself…”
