The reason that Sherry was not injured

---

“Hmm…I guess it’s because she is a fenrir. To not be injured after being hit so hard…”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff-wou!”
“Uhhh, she says that fenrirs are able to protect themselves by enveloping their bodies in magic energy. That’s why she wasn’t injured.”
“…That is…so she is like Leo then…”
“Wuff. Wou-wuff-wou-wuff. Wou-wou-grau-wuff.”
“While true, it’s not as strong as a Silver Fenrir, she says. That’s why Sherry was hurt by the trolls.”
“So she can guard herself against orcs, but not trolls. Well, they can easily destroy a human’s body…”

Now that I thought about it, I had heard that Leo could not be injured when being hit by a sword, because of the magic energy within her fur.
And so when training, we never had to worry about hitting Leo. Even Mr. Ekenhart seemed to be doing it quite seriously during the mock battles.
So I suppose Sherry had something similar.

As for the trolls, I had seen one on the way to Range village, and the way it attacked with its club and thick arms…like Mr. Ekenhart said, they would be able to destroy a human with ease.
Sherry’s leg had been broken when we first found her. That showed how powerful the attack was.
And yet such an attack was still nothing for Leo. It was no wonder Silver Fenrirs were considered to be the strongest monsters.

“Ho…both Leo and Sherry are amazing!”
“Kyu, kyuu?”
“Sister Tilura… Sherry is saying that she isn’t as amazing as mama…I mean, Leo.”

As Tilura muttered in awe, Sherry turned to her and barked.
And then Liza interpreted it for her.

“As Leo is a Silver Fenrir, it is obvious that she is amazing, but I think fenrirs are impressive as well! If I was hit by that same attack…I wouldn’t be able to stand again…”
“Indeed. While I don’t like to think about it, you would definitely have been injured if hit by that attack.”
“Yes, yes. And so Sherry is amazing too!”
“Kyau…kyu!”
“Wuff…”
“Kyau…”

As it was just a simple attack, it probably wouldn’t have killed Tilura.
But she would have still been hurt. And perhaps if she was unlucky, it would have been a grave injury.
It was her first fight, and she was not used to pain, so she might not have been able to move. So it was impressive that Sherry was unhurt, and able to continue the fight soon after.
Perhaps it was because she had already been hurt once, and was used to the pain. And it was possible that fenrirs did not feel much pain to begin with.

In any case, Mr. Ekenhart nodded at Tilura’s reaction.
…As a father, he did not want to imagine Tilura getting hurt.

“Well, in any case, it was a good thing that Sherry was a fenrir. So that is why Leo kept saying that a fenrir would never be defeated by an orc.”
“Wuff-wuff. Wuff-wou-wou. Wuff.”
“She is saying that it’s one thing if the fenrir can’t move, and there is a group of orcs attacking it…but if there is only one orc, then it’s no problem!”
“…But such a situation would be very rare. In general, it would be best to think that an orc cannot beat a fenrir. And Leo knew this, so she made Sherry fight the orc.”
“Wuff…wuff…”
“Uhh…she is saying that she still didn’t expect Sherry to jump out without thinking…”
“Kyuu…”

Well, Sherry was still young, and had been separated from her parents before she could learn to hunt.
So even if she had the will to fight, she did not know how.
…But it seemed like Leo felt that you should know by instinct.
Leo had originally been a small Maltese, so she shouldn’t have known how to fight either. But as soon as she turned into a Silver Fenrir, she was able to fight orcs with ease.

That had been quite a surprise… Perhaps becoming a Silver Fenrir had affected her instincts.
In any case, I sat next to Leo and petted her, so that she wouldn’t be too harsh on Sherry.

“As for fighting, she can learn from you and from experience. So don’t be too hard on her, okay? Also, she did well with the magic.”
“Wuff…wuff.”

I said while petting Leo.
As someone who had only started learning magic recently, I had been very impressed with Sherry’s magic.
Mr. Ekenhart had also been surprised by how she used it in rapid succession, and it was very effective against the orc.
Leo barked as if to say that it could not be helped.

Would she be easier on Sherry now?
Sherry was sitting next to us, and looked like she was relieved.
