Chapter 700


    We departed for the mansion<hr>


    “Lady ire, Mr. Takumi. Good Leo. Please be careful…”


    “Yes, thank you.”


    “Thank you.”


    “Wuff!”


    Two days after Mr. Ekenhart and the others left, we said our goodbyes to Mr. Hannes at the gate of the vige, as it was time for us to return.


    The vigers had alsoe out to see us off.


    “Kyun…kun.”


    “Kyau. Kyu-kyu.”The Maltese was pressing its nose against Sherry and looked very sad. Apparently, it could tell that we were leaving. How smart.


    Sherry also barked as if to console it, and they rubbed their faces together.


    It had really taken to Sherry for some reason, and the two had been inseparable for the past two days.


    When Sherry would join Leo and Tilura with the digging, the Maltese had followed and ended up falling into the hole. And so Leo had to rescue it.


    “Sherry. Let’s go.”


    “Kyuu… Kyau!”


    “Kuuun. Wuff!”


    “Kyau!”


    ire called to Sherry before she stepped into the carriage, and then Sherry and the Maltese said their goodbyes.


    It seemed like Sherry was promising that she would return.


    “Now, let us be off!”


    “Wou!”


    “Rahle, make sure to fly close to everyone!”


    “Kii!”


    And like that, the carriage moved forward. Just as before, Sebastian was in the driver’s seat.


    Liza and I rode on Leo, while Tilura rode on Rahle.


    This time, Tilura was the only passenger. Though, Rahle had carried others several times in the vige, and we confirmed again that it was safe.


    A few dayster, we were somewhere between Ractos and the mansion.


    As we camped outside and slept in tents…it was not exactly the mostfortable. But we still got enough rest.


    “Hmm…?”


    “Wuff?”


    “What is it, papa and mama?”


    As we got closer to the mansion, I saw a familiar figure near the gates in the distance.


    It was getting dark, and so I could not see clearly, but…I was quite sure about it.


    Awoooo!


    The howling came from the gate. It echoed loudly, and the guards and horses suddenly stopped.


    “Mr. Takumi. Is that…?”


    “They seem to be weing us? At least, that is what Leo is saying…”


    “I see. And is it…”


    “Yes. I think it is. Leo?”


    “Wou!”


    It seemed like they knew that Leo was with us, and so they had howled…
