Chapter 437

I talked with Mr. Haines

“Wuff-wuff.”

“Kyuu... Heheh!”

“It was so fun running around, papa!”

After running for so long, Leo and the others came rushing towards us.

It was no surprise to me now that Leo didn’t look tired at all, but... Liza wasn’t even panting and was still energetic.

I suppose it was because she was a beastkin?

On the other hand, Sherry let out a weak bark and was panting with her tongue sticking out.

And she seemed quite unstable on her legs. Was she alright?

“I’m glad you had fun, Liza. ...What about you, Sherry?”

“Wuff! Wou-wou!”

“Kyu...”

Leo was saying something about Sherry being weak, while Sherry barked in protest.

Well, if Liza was fine, then it was a little sad that Sherry the fenrir was so exhausted.

“...Well, you can rest here, Sherry. As for Tilura...”

“I will watch over Sherry!”

“Very well then. Liza, you should stay with them as well. Maybe you can continue to play when Sherry regains her energy. A guest has arrived, and I have to go talk with them.”

“Okay, papa!”

“Kyau...”

“Wuff?”

I didn’t know what had brought Mr. Haines here, but we were bound to discuss the herb fields.

“I see...”

“Good Leo! You are as fluffy as ever!”

“Wuff! Wuff!”

As we waited for Mr. Ekenhart, I sat across from them and asked about how things were in the village.

Leo and Rosalie started playing... Well, she was grabbing onto Leo and feeling her fur.

...It was a good thing I had bathed Leo.

But I was more interested in the wine in Range village.

The merchants had made orcs attack the village, and were also the ones who spread the sickness.

Even if a different merchant was sent, they did not trust anyone who came from the count’s lands.

Also, they did not want to return to being as busy as they had been before.

“However...I think that you will be asked to start producing the wine again.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Though, I cannot tell you the details...”

“Is this related...to using lands near the village?”

“It is. Is that why you are here today?”

“Yes. I received a letter directly from the duke. We were to prepare a field... He even told us the exact location... And while it is an honor to serve the duke, I still wondered why...”

Mr. Ekenhart’s plan was to add herbs to the wine and sell it as a medicinal wine.

Well, he also liked the taste of the wine.

In any case, we had to have wine for that, and fields had to be prepared.

But Mr. Ekenhart’s letter didn’t explain any of that.

But judging by the time it was sent, not much of the details would have even been decided.

And since the duke had written the letter himself, Mr. Haines probably thought it would be more polite to come here in person, instead of writing back.
