We would prepare to welcome the fenrirs
Based on Claire’s suggestion, it was decided that we would decrease the number of horses at the mansion and have the fenrirs take their place in the stables.
And if there was still not enough space, they could stay outside.
Sebastian sent a message to Ractos, telling them that the horses could be kept there, instead of bringing them back.
I then went to see Ms. Helena and the cooks in order to talk about how we would feed the fenrirs.
—
“Certainly. Food for the fenrirs…that will certainly be a rewarding endeavor.”
“I’m sorry to have to ask you. It must have been very hard preparing food for all of the employees as well…”
Ms. Helena readily agreed when I talked to her about it in the kitchen.
Though, I felt bad, since she had already been so busy this morning.
“Not at all. It is our job to provide quantity without sacrificing quality. And it will be good for training the new cooks.”
“Oh…are you bringing new people in?”
“Yes. After all, I will be away from this house.”
In fact, it had been decided that Ms. Helena would come with us.
That meant someone would have to take her place… As Tilura was staying here, she did not want the new head cook to be inadequate.
“Have you already chosen a replacement?”
“Yes. I know who it will be. But there is no need to say it yet.”
She turned her head towards the person that she was talking about.
It was a short woman who seemed to be even younger than me… The other cooks were surely more experienced. But perhaps she had exceptional skill and potential.
“Ah, that’s right. I will do what I can to help with the food for the fenrirs. After all…I feel like I will be asking a lot of you from now on…and I want to help as well.”
Of course, I was not a professional, so there was a limit to what I could do.
“I’ll help too, papa!”
“Yes. You can help too, Liza. And Ms. Chita and Cheryl as well. Those two are already in charge of the fenrirs.”
Ms. Chita would be happy about being able to pet the fenrirs, and Ms. Cheryl was dying to take care of someone.
“Wuff-wuff!”
“Mama wants to help too!”
“Uh, I don’t think you can do anything, Leo…”
“Wou…”
Perhaps she could use magic to help cook the meat. No, adjusting the heat would be too difficult.
“Well, you just need to eat and enjoy the food with the fenrirs.”
“Yes, good Leo. Even if it is a lot of work for us cooks, we are happy if you enjoy it.”
“Wou…”
I petted Leo consolingly.
“In any case, we have to wait for them to return from the forest… So it might be a few days.”
I had forgotten to ask Feri when he would be back…
Well, I still had time before he departed.
“Cetainly. I will prepare things for when the time comes.”
“Thank you.”
As they would likely eat a lot, I was glad that I could tell Ms. Helena in advance.
They would have to prepare a lot of ingredients.
Ah, that’s right… I should make a suggestion while I am here…
Wonder how many fenrirs in the pack.
Thanks.
