Chapter 499
Liza interpreted
“The tail really absorbs a lot of water…”
“It was heavy. Thanks, papa!”
While it could not be dried completely with just a towel, I was able to get most of the water out. The fire would do the rest.
Later, I might have to brush her along with Leo, so their fur returned to their normal state.
…Well, they would just go back into the river again. So that would have to be after we returned to the mansion.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Wuff.”
Liza and I helped the maid dry off Leo, and then we returned to the bonfire where the others waited.
Sherry was now sitting on Tilura’s lap and yawning lazily.
But when she saw Leo approaching, she jumped down and sat upright next to her.
“Sister Tilura. Is the meeting finished?”
“It is for me. But there is still Sherry left. And so we were waiting for you and Leo.”
“I see!”
Liza went and sat on Tilura’s lap.
She had been curious about what we were talking about.
While Liza was smaller than Tilura, they were not that different in age, and so it seemed awkward…
But they were both smiling and seemed to be having fun at least.
“Now, we will discuss the earlier battle, as Sherry requested.”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“Kyau!”
“So, where should we start… Yes, how about when Sherry first charged into the orc?”
“Kyau! Kyau! Kyau!”
“Sorry Liza. Can you tell us what Sherry is saying?”
“Uh, she said that since everyone went towards the orc, she did the same!”
“Hmm…I see…”
So, Sherry hadn’t done it to gain any advantage. She just copied Tilura and me…
While she had decent speed and momentum, I had thought that she would slash with her claws or bite, like Leo… But she hadn’t been thinking about that.
Hmm…
“Look here, Sherry. You do not have a weapon, do you? Well, you can bite people, I suppose… But you need to think more before jumping out like that. Understand?”
“Wou! Wou! Grau! Wuff! Grau-grau!”
“Hmm, that’s right! Whether you use claws or fangs, there were other ways, like jumping when you are closer, or jumping higher! That’s what she said.”
“Kyau…”
“She said…yes.”
In spite of being far away from the orc, Sherry’s first move had been to jump towards it.
It would have been fine if she could move like Leo, who was so fast that the orc couldn’t even move. However, the orc had its eyes fixed on Sherry, and was able to swing its arm.
As Mr. Ekenhart said, she should think more before acting. And Leo’s advice about jumping when you are closer, or biting, also seemed like it would be more effective.
Well, like Tilura, this was Sherry’s first battle. So perhaps it could not be helped that she would rely on instincts and be reckless…
“As for your movements, I’m sure Leo will have plenty to teach you later. Isn’t that right?”
“Wuff!”
“Kyau…”
As the way that fenrirs moved was too different from humans, Mr. Ekenhart did not have any advice for her.
But Leo would teach her instead.
Upon hearing this, Sherry recalled how she had been made to run endlessly through the garden, and she did not sound enthusiastic.
Would she also practice jumping, slashing and biting? I kind of wanted to see that.
“So…and then you were hit by the orc’s arm and knocked away… And so I suppose I should ask you. Are you alright, Sherry?”
“Kyuu?”
“Well, it seemed to hit you quite hard. And you fell on the ground…”
“Kyau…kyu! Kyu!”
“She is saying that she’s fine.”
Mr. Ekenhart was concerned about whether Sherry was injured when being struck by the orc.
Now that I thought about it, she had been hit quite hard. We had forgotten, because the shock of Sherry using magic in rapid succession was so strong. 𝚗𝚘v𝚎𝚕𝚎a𝚜t.c𝚘m
Still, if she were a human, she would have probably been hurt by that.
However, Sherry tilted her head as if puzzled.
And after having it explained to her, she barked and then ran around us as if to show that she was perfectly fine.
While Liza interpreted for her, it was quite clear just by watching.
There was no trace of any injury, and she was the usual, energetic Sherry.
