The reason that the fenrirs came

---

“Well, it seemed like they were talking to good Leo earlier. But what did they say?”
“It was about why they had come here.”

While Leo was talking to the fenrirs, Liza interpreted, and so I understood.
I had a general idea of what Leo was saying. And Ms. Claire could understand Sherry.
However, only Liza could understand the two fenrirs.
They were very intelligent, and could convey some things with gestures, but there was a limit to that.

“Why they came here… Surely it was to get Sherry?”
“That was one reason. But you know how Sherry used magic to fight the orc? That’s how they sensed her presence, and came to see how she was doing…”
“And what else?”
“Similarly, they sensed Leo’s presence once we entered the forest. And so the fenrirs had moved deeper into the forest.”

Leo’s senses were sharper than the fenrirs.
However, Leo was larger and had a stronger presence…which was easier to detect.
And so while Leo could not sense fenrirs that were far away, they were able to sense Leo.

“While Leo said that they would submit due to their instincts, they still tend to hide until they actually encounter each other. And so…they probably tried to avoid being seen, the last time we were here.”
“So that was why we could not find them. Though, we didn’t even find any traces, so perhaps we were in the wrong area.
“Indeed.”

As there was no guarantee that a Silver Fenrir would be friendly, it made sense that they would want to avoid it, instead of being in a situation where they had to submit.
They could not resist once they did meet, but if they had to fight, then they would be in great danger.

As for where they were located, we had found Sherry on the other side of the river. And this time, that’s where the two fenris had come from as well. So they must live deep into the forest on that side.
So it was no wonder that we did not find them.
It was mostly luck that we had found Sherry, who had wandered off because she was curious.

“The fenrirs intended on hiding until Leo left. But then they recognized Sherry’s magic. Of course, it was still dangerous, and so the pack decided to remain hidden, but…”
“Sherry’s parents had different ideas, I suppose.”
“Yes. A long time had passed since she disappeared…and here she was in the forest again. And so they could not help but approach this place, where Sherry was.”
“I see… Yes, a parent would not be able to ignore a daughter who had gone missing.”
“Like Silver Fenrirs, they see family as being very important.”

As I talked about the fenrirs, Sebastian nodded with satisfaction.
Regardless, there was no doubt that the fenrirs cared about family.
But as a pack, their survival instincts were strong, and they cared about the safety of the whole pack. So it was understandable that they were against going for Sherry.
Perhaps even if they are monsters, if they have a certain amount of intelligence, they will care about family.

I didn’t know if orcs had the concept of family. They got made if they saw fellow orcs in front of them, but they never tried to protect each other either.
And trolls…I hadn’t met enough of them to say…

“Hmm… So Sherry’s parents came to get her… What will you do?”
“…”

Sebastian asked Ms. Claire.
Ms. Claire closed her eyes and thought about it.
They cared about her, and came even if it meant facing Leo. And so I doubted Sherry would be sad to go with them.
If anything, she might be happier with her parents… Well, I thought like that as a human.

“…I will respect Sherry’s wishes. If she wants to go back, she should go and live with her family. …Even though I will be a little sad.”
“Yes…”

After thinking about it, Ms. Claire said that she would respect Sherry’s wishes.
Aside from Ms. Claire, all the people in the mansion were quite fond of Sherry, so it would be a sad parting…
But she had finally reunited with her parents. And it would also be sad to part with them once again… And so it would be a difficult decision either way.
