As it was too troublesome, I resorted to the last method
“Hah… It seems like there is no point in talking to this person.”
“Indeed. Sherry, it’s fine. Will you calm down?”
“Kyau?”
“Hey, Volgrau! Are you going to disobey me!”
“Bow…”
Sebastian sighed and shook his head.
I nodded and petted Sherry.
While Deurgo continued to shout, Volgrau shook his head.
Deurgo seemed to have misunderstood something. A familiar contract did not mean they had to obey your commands.
All it did was allow you to communicate, and it forbade them from attacking their master.
Of course, it did seem like they would obey most orders. But they did not have to if they did not want to.
“Old man…”
“Nevermind that. There is no need to hide at this point, Mr. Takumi.”
Sebastian returned to his usual voice.
He would not try to negotiate with Deurgo anymore, so there was no point in us pretending to be related.
“Well, you’re right. In any case, please have the guards take Deurgo outside. I’m going to go and talk to Leo first.”
I had wanted to avoid asking Leo, but it could not be helped.
“Indeed. There seems to be no other way than to rely on Leo. I will leave it to you then.”
“Yes… Hah…”
And so I left Sebastian and headed to the door with a sigh.
“Are you alright, Mr. Takumi?”
“Claire. As you can see, I had no problems during the fight, and was not injured either.”
“That Deurgo is so selfish! He doesn’t think about Volgrau’s feelings at all!”
“Yes, you’re right, Tilura. Unlike you and Claire, he seems incapable of thinking about others…”
“Mr. Takumi, I… I wasn’t worried that you were injured. It’s just that your face looked a little severe…”
“Ah, sorry. I see. Well, I got quite angry while talking to him…”
Deurgo only cared about using Volgrau as an object that would benefit him.
And after all of the damage, it was impossible to not be angry.
Also, I was frustrated that we hadn’t been able to resolve things without Leo’s help…
In fact, for just a second, I had considered punching Deurgo in the face after disarming him.
“Hah… Alright! Do I look fine now?”
“Yes. You look like your handsome self again.”
“…Thank you. And you also look…beautiful when you smile like that.”
“Mr. Ta-Takumi!?”
“Hmm? Why are you red, sister? Is it because you are still mad at that man?”
I chuckled at them and quickly rushed to where Leo was waiting.
If I stayed any longer, all kinds of emotions would escape me.
Perhaps being around Deurgo had made it more difficult to control them…
—
“Wuff… Kuun…”
“…What is it, Leo? So suddenly.”
After leaving the guard house, Leo immediately ran up to me and lay on her back.
“Kuun…kuunn… Wuff-wuff…”
“Ah, sorry. I’m not bad at you or anything.”
“Wuff?”
“Yes, it’s fine. If you do well, then this will be over soon.”
I rubbed her belly while explaining it to her.
Apparently, she had sensed that I was upset.
When I looked around, I saw that Nicholas, Ms. Hermine and Alfred also looked confused.
“Now, Leo. You’ll get dirty if you roll around like that here. Unless…you want to take a bath?”
“Wou!? Wuff!”
“Haha. We don’t use hot water anymore, but you still don’t like it, huh?”
When she heard the word ‘bath,’ Leo jumped up in alarm and then landed on her feet after rotating in the air.
I had seen her do that a few times before, but it was still impressive…
I’m not bad at you or anything -> I’m not mad at you or anything
Thanks.
