He asked about the fenrirs
“So, Takumi. You are going to have the fenrirs carry people and pull carriages? Instead of horses?”
“Well… I don’t know how many of them will accept…but, yes.”
“Fenrirs will be able to pull carriages that would require two horses. And they would be able to run faster too. It’s a good idea.”
“If everything goes well. We are still in the planning stages, so I don’t know if it will work…”
“No, no. I’m sure that many people will be interested in the idea of being able to ride on a fenrir. After all, most of them do not know what fenrirs are really capable of. They see them as monsters that are a little stronger than wolves. So I think that curiosity will beat everything else.”
“I would be relieved if a lot of people used them.”
It had been like that with Leo as well, where there were some people who were scared, but their curiosity ended up being stronger.
I did not know much about this world yet, but it did seem like people were full of curiosity.
There were some people like Walter, who could not get over their fear. But if there were a lot of people who would not hesitate, then it was worth making the request to Feri.
“Though, my first thought had been to use them like bodyguards…”
“Ah, I see. With fenrirs, you could easily handle any monsters that might attack you. I’m sure you’ve noticed during your time with Leo, but they are very sensitive to smell and sounds, and will sense enemies immediately.”
“I don’t want to rely on the fenrirs were everything, but… It does seem more practical than gathering guards.”
“Yes, yes. It would take a long time to gather men and train them for such security purposes. But you wouldn’t have to worry about training with the fenrirs. If anything, they are more capable than soldiers.”
Mr. Euto said with a nod.
Aside from time, it would also be cheaper to use fenrirs in the long term.
After all, we just needed to feed them their favorite food.
“I didn’t realize there would be so many advantages to the fenrirs cooperating. In general, I did not think of them as monsters that could be made into familiars.”
“Really? But Claire did it with Sherry.”
“That is a special case. Obviously, it is just a matter of the fenrir accepting the human. But usually, it is nearly impossible to be accepted. As for you, Takumi. It helps that you have Leo and Liza with you.”
Ah, I see… Fenrirs were monsters, after all.
They were too strong to beat in combat, and it was difficult to communicate with them.
As I had Leo, I didn’t have to worry about being attacked or not being able to talk with them.
Liza could communicate with them as well. Claire could do it through Sherry. There was also Ms. Delia, and recently even Tilura.
“Yes, I owe a lot to them. Anyway…surely you didn’t come running out here just to tell me that…?”
Though, he seemed like the type to do anything if he found it amusing.
“Of course. While the idea did surprise and impress me… There is something else that I’ve wanted to do for some time now. And I thought that it might be possible with the help of the fenrirs. And so I just had to ask you.”
The help of the fenrirs… While it was not as if they could do anything, they could likely make very difficult things easier.
Still, Mr. Euto had position and power. You would think there was very little he could not do.
And so I was interested.
“Yes. It could change the country. It would be a revolution. You know how horses are relied upon when it comes to travel and transportation?”
“Well… I have not done that much traveling, but it seems to be the case.”
That was how it was in my world before the invention of cars.
There had been times that I wished we had cars here. However, that was clearly not what he was talking about…
