My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 681

Tilura wanted to discuss something

“Perhaps we should have just had the lands absorbed into Hart’s.”

“Having territories that are too large will make the other nobles angry. And that could lead to them distrusting the government.”

“It’s so troublesome. Well, the royal family mostly leaves the lords to their own devices without interfering, so it should be fine. Ah, that’s right!”

“What is it, Your Excellency?”

He suddenly looked towards me and raised his voice as if he had remembered something. I did not like his look at all…

“Takumi. Are you interested in nobles? You know, if Anneliese turns out to be a failure, and we have to replace someone else… Well, you seem like a good enough chap, and you have Leo. No one will complain too loudly about it.”

“Yes, Mr. Takumi…would be able to deal with any arguments very easily…”

“While having him as a neighbor would be good… My true wish is for him to stay here… Hmm…”

“Hey, hey. What are you all talking about? I would not make a good lord at all. My only goal is to plant herbs in this village!”

Having Leo, and the cooperation of Claire and the duke in order to grow herbs in Range village…I could not ask for more than that.

I just wanted to live a slow and relaxing life.

“Don’t worry, Leo will deal with any enemies you will make!”

“No, no! Also, please don’t agree with him, Mr. Ekenhart…”

And so I had to persuade them against the idea until Sebastian arrived and told us that it was lunch time.

Though, since they were laughing later on, I suppose it was partially a joke.

“Sister, Mr. Takumi. And Leo…”

“What is it, Tilura? You don’t seem well?”

“What happened?”

“Wou?”

After lunch, we were relaxing outside, when Tilura approached us.

It was unusual to see her looking like this, and so we were all a little concerned.

“Um…it’s about Rahle. Something is wrong…”

“With Rahle?”

“I saw them all playing together a moment ago, and they seemed fine. Leo?”

“Wuff.”

All of us were puzzled by this, as we had not noticed that there was anything different about Rahle.

When we went to look at the future farm lands, Rahle had been carrying Tilura and seemed to be having fun.

But since Rahle was Tilura’s familiar, perhaps there were things that she could sense.

“I don’t know how to explain it…it feels as if Rahle is scared.”

“Scared… But copper eagles are very strong monsters. And with Leo here as well… It is a little strange to be scared.”

“Yes… And it’s not Leo that Rahle is scared of.”

“Perhaps Rahle did some mischief… No, I doubt that. Maybe Leo would.”

“WOU!? WOU-WOU!!”

“Sorry, sorry. Yes, you wouldn’t do it either. …But you used to chew up things and make a mess.”

“Wou…”

Leo had a lot of free time when she was smaller, and so she would sometimes do that.

Of course, I scolded her when that happened…but not too much, as I knew she probably felt some stress from being left alone.

In any case, Leo was much smarter now, and understood that you shouldn’t do such things.

I apologized and petted her.

“It must be something very serious to scare Rahle… Perhaps there is some danger… Leo? Do you sense anything?”

“Wou? Wuff-wuff.”

“She doesn’t… In that case… Well, Rahle is right over there. It doesn’t really look scared to me.”

“Indeed. If anything, it looks like it is having fun.”

When I looked, I saw that Rahle was playing with Liza and the other children. Ms. Claire also agreed that it did not look scared.
