Leo discovered something

---

Ms. Claire often seemed like she was holding something back.
Perhaps she felt that it was necessary, as the duke’s daughter. But from mine and Mr. Ekenhart’s point of view, it looked a little suffocating.
But it was because of that, that the current Ms. Claire was like this. So it was complicated.

“Wuff?”
“Hmm? What is it, Leo?”
“Wuff…”

As we were talking, Leo suddenly raised her head and barked quietly as if noticing something.
But when I asked her about it, she just looked up at the sky and barked.

“Hmm… Is there something strange?”
“…Like a monster approaching?”
“However, the fenrirs are in front of the forest… And it would be odd if they didn’t notice first.”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff.”
“Hmm? Look at the sky?”
“The sky?”

And so I looked up at the sky, as did the others.

“Hmm… Is there something flying?”
“A bird?”
“What else could it be if not a bird…”

We saw a single bird flying in the sky while the moon shone down.
It seemed to be flying very elegantly.
Since going into the forest, I had seen some birds…but none flying up that high.
It was too dark to see it clearly, but it seemed quite large, and was flying in a circle as if enjoying itself.
It must be nice to be able to fly…

“Wuff…”

Leo barked again, and then the bird disappeared into the distance.

“Hmm… Good Leo was interested in the passing bird?”
“It seems like it.”
“Birds… Perhaps Leo wants to eat chicken next?”
“Wuff! Wuff-wuff!”

When I asked Leo this, she reacted strongly.
Apparently, she wanted to eat a different kind of meat sometimes… After all, she only ate sausages and orc meat recently…
I would have to ask Ms. Helena about it when we returned to the mansion.
After all, Leo had worked hard… Whether it was talking to the fenrirs or finding the orcs… And so she must be rewarded.

“If you want other kinds of meat, it will have to wait. Is that fine?”
“Wuff!”
“Ah, hey…Leo…”
“Hehe. Leo really does like Mr. Takumi.”
“Well, she likes food… But being liked by a Silver Fenrir to this degree must also be a talent.”

Leo was so happy that she had started to lick my face.
It was fine to express your happiness, but I didn’t want to be licked so excitedly… Leo wouldn’t eat me, but it was scary to have such a large mouth close to your face.
And her fangs were so visible…
Mr. Ekenhart and Ms. Claire watched this and smiled.
If only they would help me instead…

“So then. I better go to sleep before Sebastian wakes up. Otherwise he will catch me again and deprive me of sleep.”
“Indeed. Mr. Takumi, Leo. Good night.”
“Yes, good night.”
“Wuff-wuff.”

Mr. Ekenhart and Ms. Claire then went back to their tents.
He did not want to be caught by Sebastian like last night, and have his sleep time shortened.
Though, that was because Sebastian had heard him complaining… Regardless, I gave them some herbs that would help them to sleep.
Mr. Ekenhart was especially happy. I suppose he really liked the effects.

…It was not good to rely on them too much. But he had trouble getting up in the morning, and also snored loudly… The herbs wouldn’t actually help with the snoring, but I did want him to sleep well and feel refreshed.
Now that they were gone, Leo and I sat and looked at the fire until our shift ended.
And while I asked Leo about the bird again, she gave me a vague reply, saying that it was nothing to worry about.
It was unusual for her, but I suppose she only noted it because it was so late into the night.

When our shift was over, I returned to the tents and ate some herbs before getting into my sleeping bag.
I was relying on them too… Well, I feel calmer now. But Mr. Ekenhart’s snoring was still loud…

“Still, didn’t birds have bad eyesight? And they did not fly during the night?”

I wondered as I closed my eyes.
I didn’t know much about them, and there were likely exceptions. But I still thought it was strange as I slowly fell asleep.
…This was a world of magic, so perhaps some birds could use it to help with their eyesight while flying…
