Chapter 904
We talked to the fenrir
“So, why are you here? Also, it seemed like your presence changed when you got closer…”
“Guff-guff… Guff!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Ah, sorry. Ms. Delia. What is it saying?”
I continued to pet the fenrir while questioning it. It seemed to like it, so that made it difficult to stop…
“Uh, apparently, it was suspicious of us at first…”
Apparently, the fenrir came here often, but usually stayed away when there were humans here.
That was because it didn’t want to startle or scare them away. It was a very considerate fenrir.
However, this time, there was one presence or smell that it noticed.
It was the smell of Leo that it sensed from me. The smell of a Silver Fenrir.I wondered if I really did smell like Leo. I could not tell myself. Perhaps it was not something that humans could detect.
However, upon hearing this, Ms. Delia had nodded, so perhaps she smelled it too.
In any case, it had then been cautious as it knew that it could never fight off a Silver Fenrir that attacked the village. And so it tried to give off a powerful aura and look aggressive. But when it saw me close up, it was able to relax.
“But why do you visit this place so often? Also, it sounded like you were protecting this village…”
If they were to obey their instincts, then when a Silver Fenrir approached, they would either run away or submit… At least, that was what Leo said.
In any case, it was saying that it stayed because it thought that the village would be attacked.
“Guff, guff-guff. Guffu-guff.”
“Uh, then… You…?”
“Ms. Delia?”
“Ah, sorry. Uhh…”
Ms. Delia sounded very surprised by the fenrir’s answer.
She then explained it to me. Apparently, this fenrir was the same fenrir who left her to the care of the old wood cutter who raised her.
“I see… But why was it with you in the first place?”
“Guff. Guff-guff…guff…”
“…So that happened.”
According to Ms. Delia, the fenrir had happened to be moving alone in the forest that day.
Well, they sometimes moved separate from the pack in order to hunt monsters.
That day, it happened to find a troll. But trolls were not very tasty. And so it was about to leave when it noticed something.
An unfamiliar smell.
The situation was similar to when we found Sherry. It seemed like trolls liked to attack things in groups.
In any case, the fenrir was curious enough to attack and chase them away. And it discovered that the thing they had surrounded was a beastkin woman.
As beastkin were special to fenrir, it was quite distressed by this. But it was already too late. Unable to do anything else, the fenrir dug a hole and was about to bury the body. But when it started to push the beastkin woman, it saw that she was holding a baby as if to protect it…
