I spent some time with Leo

---

“Rahle became Tilura’s familiar. And so with Tilura there, nothing will happen. Besides, you will learn something that books can’t teach you…”

Rahle would not do anything reckless, since Leo would be watching.

“I understand what you are saying, Your Grace… And I do not expect to learn everything through books.”
“Oh?”
“Very well, if I am permitted to, then I shall ride on Rahle.”
“I see, so you will. Wonderful. Hahaha!”
“Father, you sound very evil.”
“How rude. I am just happy that Sebastian got this opportunity.”
“Hah…really…”
“Ahaha…”

Sebastian was soon persuaded, and agreed to ride on Rahle.
Well, he could hardly refuse once his master was set on the idea.
In any case, it would happen after the saddle was ready. And so we ate our dinner.
While we were eating, Ms. Gelda patted Sebastian consolingly on the shoulder.

As someone who often made mistakes and became distressed over them, she probably felt a little sympathetic.
It would be one thing if it was just around the mansion, but Range village was quite far away. And since this was a world without plains, it was quite daunting…

“Leo, we’ll be going to Range village soon, so I’ll be relying on you.”
“Wou!”
“We’ll rely on you, mama!”
“Wou!”

After dinner, we drank wine or tea, and then everyone returned to their rooms.
As Mr. Ekenhart would be leaving tomorrow, there was no night training, as we did not want to be tired.
And so we would rest.

After getting warm in the bath, I sat down on my bed and talked to Leo.
It would be a much longer journey than the one to the forest or Ractos.
And we also had to watch Rahle.

The last time we made that journey, Leo had not seemed tired at all. So it would probably be fine.
Leo nodded reassuringly, and then Liza copied me.
Recently, Liza seemed to copy me a lot.
And while it showed how close we were, it also reminded me that I had to set a good example as well.

“Mr. Takumi. I came to give Lady Liza a bath.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you. Run along then, Liza.”
“Yes! Thank you, sister Lyra!”

I gestured for Liza to go, and she walked over to Ms. Lyra and bowed with her hands behind her back.
She looked like a penguin. Who taught her that?
I thought with a smile as I watched them leave.

I didn’t do that, so she must have copied someone else?
Perhaps I should teach her how to thank people when she returns… But after considering it, I rejected the idea.
Ms. Claire or Tilura would be better.

“Wuff. Wuff.”
“Hmm? What is it, Leo?”

Leo suddenly barked to get my attention.
She put her paw on my thigh, so she probably wanted me to play with her.

“Wuff-wuff.”

She wagged her tail and looked at me expectantly.
Now that I thought about it, due being with Liza a lot, I had not been able to pay Leo as much attention.
Well, we had some time until Liza returned, so perhaps I could play with her now.

“Alright, Leo. Were you lonely?”
“Wuff! Wuff-wuff.”
“Really? You can be honest.”

Leo had shaken her head as if to reject the notion.
However, her tail wagged a little faster, so she was clearly happy to be receiving attention.
It was amusing how easy to read she was.
Liza, Leo and Sherry showed their emotion through their tails, which was cute.
Ms. Anne would be easier to understand if she had a tail too… No, she has her hair rolls.

“Alright, Leo. Since you worked so hard, and watched Rahle and the fenrirs. I’m going to spoil you today!”
“Wuff!? Wuff. Wou-wou…”
“Haha. You can say that, but I see your tail wagging. Of course, you can calm down a little. Your tail is going to knock me over…”
“Wou…”

It was wagging so quickly that it was a blur… But it showed how happy she was.
Realizing that it was moving too fast, Leo lowered her nose and slowed down her tail a little.
