Chapter 529

Something was approaching

“Wuff... Wou?”

“She is saying that there is a presence and smell that is both familiar and unfamiliar...”

“Familiar and unfamiliar...”

Perhaps it was because the herbs were still having an effect... But she could even smell it.

We had just eaten lunch, and so the area around us smelled like it. And yet Leo could detect something that was far away...

Either the thing had a really strong smell, or Leo’s ability to differentiate between scents was that powerful.

“Is it coming closer?”

“Wuff.”

Leo nodded.

It was in the forest, and coming from the opposite side of the road. So it was unlikely to be human.

A monster then... While it was possible, Leo would surely recognize the presence of an orc or troll immediately.

So...what could it be then...?

“Ms. Claire?”

“Yes. ...Father! Everyone. Good Leo says that a monster is approaching from the other side of the river!”

“A monster?”

“I see. Phillip. And the rest of you.”

“Yes!”

After being called by Sebastian, the guards were immediately put down their food, stood up and unsheathed their swords. And then they turned to face the river.

They sure acted quickly.

“Leo... Do you know what kind of monster it is?”

“Wuff... Wou-wou.”

“Fenrirs!?”

“Oh!”

Mr. Ekenhart and Ms. Anne gasped in surprise.

“Ms. Anne, I think you should step back. It might be dangerous.”

“Mmm, that’s true. Anneliese, go back.”

“No! If they are anything like Sherry, then they must be quite adorable things. I want to see them up close!”

“Uh...hmm...”

While Mr. Ekenhart could fight, Ms. Anne had no power to speak of.

She had no fighting experience and never even held a weapon.

But even when the master of the house told her to stand back...she refused.

Now that I thought about it, Ms. Anne... She was so excited about the fenrirs, that she was standing very close to Leo...

Usually, she was too scared to come that close.

“Ah, Sherry!”

“Kyau! Kyau-kyau! Kyu-kyu?”

“Wuff. Wuff-wuff.”

As I was thinking about Ms. Anne, Sherry suddenly jumped out of Ms. Claire’s arms and ran in front of Leo.

It seemed like she was confirming something with her.

Liza then interpreted, and said that since it was her mama and papa, we did not need to be on our guard.

At the same time, she was asking Leo if she could meet them.

Leo nodded in agreement, and told her to go and meet with them.

While Leo could be harsh with her sometimes, this was one of the times where she was gentle.
