Chapter 194 – Investigating the Reason
After petting Roro for some time, Kelly took a stick-like object out from her pocket.
“Kelly, what is that?”
“This is a…”
And then Kelly froze for a second.
“Yes, Mr. Theo. You should return to the dining hall first. I have some things to do.”
“But I can help?”
“No, I’m fine.”
“You don’t need to be modest…”
“I’m not being modest. It’s just that this is not something very pleasant.”
Oh, she was going to use the stick to inspect it.
I suppose it was a normal thing for a monsterologist.
“It won’t take long. And since I am a professional, I have no need of your help at all.”
“I see. Fine then.”
Kelly was just trying to be nice to Fio and me.
“Alright, thank you.”
“Yes. I will return to the dining hall as soon as I am finished.”
While holding Roro, I started walking to the dining hall with Fio and Hippolius.
“What Kelly doing?”
Fio asked worriedly.
“She’s going to check Roro’s droppings.”
“Oh.”
“In order to see if she ate something strange.”
“Strange!”
‘Didn’t eat.’
Roro insisted that she didn’t eat anything strange.
“I see. Well, just in case.”
“Au…”
When we entered the dining hall, the others looked towards us with concern.
“Roro, alright?”
Ije asked as she rushed forward.
She had been the one to make their food most of the time.
That was why she was worried.
“Yes, she is better now. It was constipation after all.”
“That a relief.”
“Ah, I see.”
The Adventurers were relieved as well.
And then Kuro and Ruru came running.
‘Hurt?’
‘Alright?’
‘I fine.’
Kuro and Ruru then wagged their tails happily.
As it looked like they wanted to play, I placed Roro on the ground.
And then the three cubs and Hippolius started to play.
Fio and Shiro watched them like guardians.
And the Adventurers smiled.
“Yes, that’s much better!”
“Aye, it’s always comforting to see them playing like this.”
“Yes. I am so relieved.”
“By the way, Mr. Theo. Where is Kelly?”
“She is inspecting what Roro left. To see if she ate anything strange.”
‘Didn’t eat.’
Even while playing, Roro didn’t forget to insist.
“Well, that is important.”
Even if it was something normal, it was possible that she ate something that was difficult to digest, and we just didn’t notice it.
“Kelly said that she would be finished soon. So she’ll come back in no time.”
“I see. Well, let’s wait for her then.”
“So you are curious too?”
“Yes, since they are fenrirs.”
“Fenrir subspecies… I wish that she told me sooner.”
“Well, Ms. Kelly is very busy.”
I suppose she discovered something new every day.
She was always writing in her notebook. Apparently, she wanted to publish various papers in the future.
That was her main job.
When making these discoveries, she usually told us what she thought would be useful for us. But there was plenty that she didn’t bother us with.
For instance, if she noticed that the petals of a certain flower here were different compared to the old continent, well, that was meaningless to us.
She just told us if they were edible or could be used as medicine.
“…Indeed, the name of Shiro’s subspecies is not important for our daily lives.”
“Yes. As you say, Mr. Theo. It is not urgent.”
“But I am curious about such things.”
“Of course.”
I sat down in front of Victor.
And then a young Adventurer came to ask me a question.
“Mr. Theo. What is this talk about fenrirs?”
And then the others all turned to me as well.
Thanks for the treat.
