Chapter 515

I was asked to protect any beastkin that were discovered

“Then I will send word to the main house once we return. And we will prepare to gather information on the outside as well.”

“Mmm. And it’s not just Liza. Perhaps there are other beastkin on these lands. They just haven’t been seen… It is not as if we are aware of everyone who lives in every town and village…”

“And many would be in hiding.”

“Indeed. And it would be best if we knew something about them first. So, Mr. Takumi.”

“Yes?”

Perhaps, like Liza, there were beastking who lived on Mr. Ekenhart’s lands for some reason or another.

While we probably won’t be searching for them actively, it would be good to decide what to do if that did happen. And we needed information for that.

As I nodded in agreement, Mr. Ekenhart suddenly turned to me.

I had a bad feeling about it…

“While I doubt there are any more beastkin in Ractos… If you do replace some in the area? Will you protect them? It seems like good Leo might feel a special connection to them. Besides there is Liza. She will probably feel safer if some of her kind were close by.”

Well, while I wanted to believe that cases like Liza were rare, it was possible that there were others who were being mistreated, and so I wanted to help them.

Besides, it would be better for Liza as well, to not just be surrounded by humans.

“Ah, yes. I could do that… But, I cannot do a lot…”

“If there is something you cannot do, Mr. Takumi, then no one else here can do it either. Besides, if it is too much, you can always ask Claire. She will be glad to help you.”

“…Is that so?”

“Father! You do not need to word it like that! Hmph! …Mr. Takumi, if I can offer you any assistance, then do tell me. I will do my best!”

“…Uh, yes. Thank you.”

“Hohoho…”

“How young…”

Aside from protecting someone temporarily…I could make herbs and use them.

But I had a feeling Mr. Ekenhart was talking about something different.

In any case, it would not be good to rely on Ms. Claire too much, so I would probably end up trying to deal with everything myself…

However, would I really be troubling her?

Like Mr. Ekenhart said she might actually be happy to help… And so I asked her.

She blushed a little and scolded her father. Then she coughed, and with a smile, confirmed it.

She really was kind.

I was quite taken by her smile, but shook my head and thanked her.

The last thing I wanted to do was get caught staring like an idiot.

It’s not like I wanted to show off, but I didn’t want to look ridiculous in front of her either.

…Why did I think that with her?

It was then that I noticed that Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian were grinning at us, and so I stopped thinking about it.

“…Oh, we got distracted there. So, about Liza…what will you do?”

“Well, to be honest, I do not want her to fight, if possible. Even if we know that she is capable. After all, she is too young to be facing monsters…”

“I understand how you feel, Mr. Takumi. I agree. However, she herself knows her capabilities now… How will you tell her?”

“But Liza is not the kind of person who would force her will, father. As long as she is told honestly, that we are here for Mr. Takumi, Tilura and Sherry’s training, I think she will understand. Besides, there can only be so many orcs in this area… And we don’t need that much more for food.”

“…”

So, the others agreed with me, that it was best if Liza did not fight if it wasn’t necessary.

Judging by the fight, she was surely not in any real danger when up against an orc. But the idea of someone so young fighting monsters…

Even with Tilura, it was a little concerning…

Still, Ms. Claire stated her opinion as if it was a simple matter.
