The Beginning of Irisdina's Love of Dogs
As the next head of the Francilt family, it is absolutely necessary for to broaden my horizons.
Today I was invited to visit the plateau on one of the Francylt family's territories. The altitude is relatively high, and the land is rocky and unsuitable for farming.
"What do you think, milady?"
"Well, there aren't any fields or anything of the sort here, but I can see that the people here don't seem to be minding it at all......"
"Yes, it is true that they cannot grow crops here, but they can get abundant wool from their livestock breeding. Wool is the backbone of the wool industry. Therefore, they earn a modest but reasonable inco."
As an attendant and educator, my maid told , the sheep were gathered all over the adow, forming a white colony everywhere.
"It looks like it's ti to put them back in their pen."
At that mont, a number of black dots, smaller than the sheep, appeared from the shadows of the hills.
"They are livestock ranchers and their sheepdogs. Their lives have always revolved around their dogs."
The dogs jumped into the herd of sheep that were relaxing in the adow.
A large sheepdog circles around the entire herd of sheep, keeping an eye out for foreign enemies, while a dium-sized dog leads the sheep as they whirl about.
"Amazing ...... it is as if they are moving the clouds."
A painting on a green canvas. The sight of the sheep, the dogs, and the people, who are supposed to be of different species, fascinatingly surprised and excited .
"I wish I could have brought Somia along to show her ......"
"Well, that's true. So please rember it properly. Then we can tell Somiriana-ojōsama later......"
*Waun!*
"Eh?"
Before I knew it, there was an angel in the shape of a puppy at my feet. No, since I already have an angel nad Somia, I should call this child a fairy. Round eyes, fluffy body, and an adorable gaze.
When I gently picked her up, I could feel the warmth that is unique to puppies.
At this mont, my decision was made in an instant.
"...... I'll take this child ho with ."
"Leave her here."
The puppy was imdiately taken away and sent back to its parents.
Ah, wait! At least let hold her a little longer~~!

The Victim and the Root of All Evil
"Okay, I guess this is enough."
After finishing cleaning Shishō's hut, I wiped the sweat off my forehead.
It had been about a month since Shishō had passed away.
I had been visiting her hut regularly to clean it.
Even though I knew that no one lived there anymore, it was a place that held a certain amount of fond mories for .
And despite the fact that I know it is inevitable that the place will eventually be swallowed up by the forest and fade into oblivion, I still want to take care of it while I can.
"Then again, there have been more and more demonic beasts approaching this hut lately. Before, they hardly ever ca near it because there was Shishō here......"
Three Wild Dogs lie at my feet with their heads cut off.
They had attacked while I was cleaning up and were probably outcasts that had been driven out of their pack and wandered into here.
It's a common occurrence in this forest, and they probably decided to make this area their territory now that Shishō is gone.
"Demonic beasts, huh? Co to think of it, I've had a lot of bad experiences as part of my training......"
Thinking back to the past, I reminisced about the demonic beasts that had pounced on during my training.
That ti, too, I was suddenly attacked by a demonic beast,...... No, it wasn't actually a demonic beast that attacked .
As I was thinking about such things, my thoughts went back to the past.
◆
"Uwaaaa!"
I run through the Spasim Forest while screaming shalessly.
*Gichigichi……!* *Guooou, guoo~oo~o~ou!*
"Why are you coming this way!? Get away from ! Don't chase after !"
*Gugya, gugyau!, Gu~, gu~*
*Thump-thump*, *thud-thud*, *rumble-rumble*.
The spine-tingling roars and footsteps that could easily turn a human into minced at. I moved my cramping legs frantically, screaming at the goblins running right behind , its face contorted in a frenzy.
Behind the goblins, there were many other powerful beasts such as Direwolves and Einherjar Horse Spiders, which are among the strongest in this forest, following in a line.
It was clearly an odd sight considering it was a hunt for demonic beasts. The culprit of this situation was .......
"Co on, Nozomu, how long are you going to keep running away!?"
It was a mountain old hag who was chasing behind them at the end of the line, pulling out her katana and swinging it around. That old hag, saying she was doing it for my training, had gathered up all the demonic beasts in the vicinity of the hut and made them rush toward !
"Haa, haa, haa! Don't be ridiculous! There's no way I can slip through such a crowd of demonic beasts with [Flash Step]!"
My lungs hurt! I can't move my legs! I'm at my limit!
Shishō said that it was for my training to acquire a technique that would allow to freely maneuver the trajectory of [Flash Step], but even if that were the case, it would be too reckless! Soone, please knock so common sense into that person!
"That's why, if you do as I teach you, you can do it! Just hurry up! If you can't do it, you'll be trampled by the march of the demonic beasts!"
Here goes nothing! I turned around and activated my [Flash Step]. Heading toward the goblin, I ducked and .......
"Buh!"
The wolf that jumped in front of collided head-on with and sent flying into the air. As it was, I got swallowed by the march of the demonic beasts.
Ah, I am dead. I stopped thinking while shedding tears at the world's cruelty, but my body was desperately avoiding the trampling of the oncoming demonic beasts.
Alas, my body had already been trained better than my spirit.
"Failure, huh... one more ti!"
Such a rciless sentence befell , who sohow managed to survive.
I shouted every kind of abusive word I could think of while Shishō went in search of her next prey.
As a result, the number of demonic beasts pursuing increased. Damn it!
◆
That's what happened.
Yes, the scariest thing was not the demonic beasts. It was the demon hag, who was worse than the demonic beasts.
After that, I managed to survive several group assaults by demonic beasts, and I managed to use [Flash Step・Curved Movent].
"I rembered sothing unpleasant......"
I wiped the cold sweat from my face as I disposed of the dead Wild Dogs.
I still have to clean Shishō's grave, but I feel strangely tired.
My legs are heavy ....... Can I go ho now?
[Oi, you foolish disciple, get on with it!]
I wonder why, I think I just heard so strange voices.......
I feel like it's going to haunt , but the next thing I know, the sun is about to set. I had to dispose of the demonic beast that had attacked , and it seems that a lot of ti had passed more than I thought it would.
Well, I guess I'll have to clean up Shishō's grave tomorrow. I should also sell the materials I had dismantled from the demonic beasts, so let's go back to town for today.
As I made my way ho, I was chased by a swarm of demonic beasts that reminded of that ti.
That old hag has really co back to haunt !
While running around, I had to deal with each and every one of the demonic beasts that ca charging out.
Fortunately, the monsters that were chasing naturally all scattered by the ti I reached Arcazam. Probably, they thought it was safer to eat the demonic beasts I had defeated than to target .
For a while after that, there were fewer demonic beasts approaching the hut, which made even more anxious.
This hut is not cursed, is it?
