I petted the parent fenrirs

---

“Uh…like this?”
“Gauu…”
“Gau-gau!”
“It seems like they like it…”

I went between the two fenris and used both hands to rub their bellies.
As they were so big, I could not rub their whole bodies at once, but I had plenty of experience with Leo, and knew which spots felt good.
Of course, fenrir might be different from dogs, but the two barked pleasantly, so I seemed to have succeeded.

“Wuff-wuff.”
“You too, sister Claire.”
“Me…? Well, if Mr. Takumi is fine… very well.”

Apparently, Leo wanted Ms. Claire to do it as well.
And so she made up her mind and approached us.
However, the two fenrirs suddenly jumped back up to their feet.

“Grrrr…”
“Gauuu….”
“Kyau!”

It was something that Leo sometimes did in the bath, where she would use her momentum while jumping up in order to spin in the air and land on her feet.
And then they started to growl at Ms. Claire.
So I was fine, but not her…?
Perhaps it was because I smelled like Leo.

“Kyau! Kyau!”
“Gau?”
“Gauuu? Gau-gau.”
“…Sherry?”

When I turned around, I saw that Phillip and the guards had rushed towards Ms. Claire.
I suppose they were concerned, not that the fenrirs looked hostile.
But just then, Sherry moved between them and Ms. Claire and barked.
The two fenrirs looked puzzled as they barked at her.

“Kyau! Kyau!”
“Gau…”
“Guff…”

Sherry explained to them, and then they finally calmed down.
However, that wasn’t the end of the matter.

“Grrr…”
“Kyain!”
“Kyaun!”
“Leo?”

Leo moved next to Ms. Claire and growled at the fenrirs.
It seemed like she was upset, because she was the one who had sent Ms. Claire.
Upon seeing this, the fenrirs went into a submissive pose again.

“Wuff? Wou-woud! Grau!”
“Gau…”
“Gau…”
“Kyau-kyau.”

And then Leo barked as if to lecture them.
The fenris were shaking, and their tails went between their legs.
Sherry barked and nodded understandingly.

“Uh…Leo?”
“Wuff. Wou-wou.”
“She said that it’s fine now!”
“I see…”

As I felt bad for them, I started to pet the fenrirs again.
And then Ms. Claire approached us.

“Ms. Claire, like this… Pet them gently with your palm.”
“Very well. I will try.”
“This is not fair at all! I want to… Let go of me!”
“No, Anneliese. This is no time to startle the fenrirs.”

Ms. Claire seemed to enjoy the soft feel of the fenrirs as she petted them.
While I could hear Ms. Anne causing a scene in the back, I pretended not to hear.
Hopefully, Mr. Ekenhart will keep her back.

“Gau?”
“Grr…”
“Gau…”
“Kyau.”

While Ms. Claire and I petted the fenrirs, Leo started to bark at them.
I could feel them trembling, which showed how scared of Leo they were.
The fenrirs barked weakly and nodded.

For some time after that, Leo and the fenrirs talked as Ms. Claire and I continued to pet them. And Leo made them promise to not attack any humans or disobey me.
I didn’t know why the last part was important… I was not their owner.
In any case, as the fenrirs were being calm not, Mr. Ekenhart and the others were able to pet them as well.

Leo, Liza and Sherry were keeping watch, and the fenrirs seemed to enjoy it. So there was no problem.
Though, Sherry got a little carried away, and jumped on her father’s stomach, which seemed painful.
I suppose even if orc attacks were nothing, it was different if it was another fenrir…

And so with a feeling of relief, I moved away and talked with Sebastian and Ms. Claire.
The others were all gathered around the fenrirs.
Ms. Anne and the maids seemed to be especially fond of them.
Even Johanna was there as well.

Though, Phillip and the other guards still looked cautious…
As for Mr. Ekenhart, he was talking to Ms. Anne, but seemed to be in a good mood.
