There was a creature that seemed familiar in Range Village

---

“Well then, according to our plan, we will arrive at the village tomorrow after lunch?”
“Yes. While there were some interruptions, we are not behind schedule. And so we can rest and eat before continuing on to the village.”
“Very well.”

After dinner, Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian talked about the plans for tomorrow.
So we would arrive in Range village after midday.
I wondered if everyone was well.
I hoped that the children would play with Leo again, and get along with Liza.

As for the branches used for the fire, a lot of them were wet from last night’s rain. However, I was able to dry them out with Weed Cultivation.
It was so convenient that I ended up having Liza and Leo gather more and more branches to dry, and so we had too much. However, since they could be used tomorrow, it would not be a waste.

“Mama, is it good?”
“Wuff!”
“Do you like it, Rahle?”
“Kii!”

In the meantime, Liza and Tilura were feeding Leo and Rahle sausages and other meat.
They were perfectly capable of eating alone… But the reason was that Sherry had been looking at Ms. Claire’s food hungrily. And so Ms. Claire started to feed her, and then Liza and Tilura copied that.

Once everything was decided, we all retired to our tents to rest.
But even with Leo and Rahle around, we had someone keep watch, because of the appearance of the trolls.
Like in the forest, my watch was with Leo and Liza… Though, Liza did not stay up for long.
And unlike previous times, I did not end up talking with anyone, and it was a peaceful night…

“Are we really going to go like this, father?”
“Of course. It would be much more fun, wouldn’t it?”
“Hah… Very well.”
“It looks very cute, so I’m sure they will be kind about it…?”

The following day, we departed for Range village. And after resting to eat lunch, we were now at the final step before arriving.
Ms. Claire was still uncomfortable about wearing the hats, but Mr. Ekenhart was clearly looking forward to it.
As for Ms. Anne, she showed none of the excitement that she had yesterday after riding on Rahle.

She was very nervous, and looked at Ms. Claire almost pleadingly.
After all, she was here in order to apologize to the villagers.
While Mr. Hanes had forgiven her, mostly because of Mr. Ekenhart, she did not know how the other villagers felt about it.
Besides, Ms. Claire and Mr. Ekenhart had made suggestions…saying that they would be angry and throw stones or try to hit her…

Of course, they intended to help her in any way they could. But in the end, this was something she had to do herself.
While she was not the person to give the order…she had still been the one to make the suggestion.
On the other hand, the villagers were quite gentle in general. So it would take a lot for them to view her so severely.
After seeing Ms. Anne throw herself to the ground and beg for forgiveness, they may feel less angry…

“Kyan! Kyan!”
“Hey, be quiet!”
“…Your Grace, Lady Claire, Mr. Takumi. And Leo… Welcome to our village.”
“Mmm… However…”
“Dog?”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff!”
“Hey, Leo. I understand how you feel, but stay calm.”
“Papa. That one looks like Sherry!”
“It does…but it’s not the same animal, alright?”

We arrived in Range village and came out of the carriage.
As Mr. Ekenhart had sent word ahead, Mr. Hannes and the villages came out to greet us.
Well, that was fine… The problem was that there were dogs with them, who were barking at us.
Leo was happy and wagged her tail with excitement.

Liza looked at them as if puzzled. But they were dogs, and quite different from fenrirs.
While they were smaller than Sherry…perhaps it was all the same for Leo.
And so instead of surprising them with our hats, we ended up being the ones who were surprised.
No, the villagers were clearly looking at our hats, so they were surprised as well.
In any case, it would look like Ms. Anne’s apology would have to wait a moment…
