Chapter 119: The Inverse Order
“Woof…” (Hokuto)
“…What did you pick up?” (Sirius)
Hokuto held a beastkin child who had a tiger’s ears and tail in his mouth and brought her in. Looking at her appearance, she was about eight years old.
It was a cute girl with tied up blond hair that extended to her shoulders. Since there were noticeable leaves and dirt on her fine quality and easy-to-move clothes, she looked like a rascal.
Nevertheless… she seed matured even though her nape was caught by Hokuto.
It was a funny sight as if a parent cat carried a kitten on the nape and carried it away, but I wouldn’t watch it forever.
“Who are you?” (Sirius)
“…” (??)
The girl just diverted her gaze to the back when I asked that question. It was a feeling of doing sothing mischievous and desperately trying to dodge questions. This was exactly a behavior common in Reus and Noel.
There seed to be no danger because she didn’t have anything like weapons, but the fact that Hokuto caught her was probably because of her suspicious movents.
As I was thinking to at least ask her what she had been doing… a sound of a stomach ringing suddenly sounded.
“…Would you like to eat stew?” (Sirius)
“!?” (??)
The ears and the tail stood up like a ‘Ping’ sound, but she shook her head imdiately and covered her ears with hands so that she couldn’t hear it.
The appearance that was trying to endure with utmost effort was cute for her age, but it was troubling if she wasn’t going to talk at all.
After looking at the situation, I asked Hokuto to release her for the ti being, and rather than running away, the liberated girl displayed her courage by sitting on a nearby chair.
I sat in front of her and tried to ask her again, but suddenly, I felt sothing wrong with the girl.
“…So what did you co here for?” (Sirius)
“… It’s for Hundred Wolves-sama.” (??)
“Woof?” (Hokuto)
“I ca to see Hundred Wolves-sama. So, Onii-san has nothing to do with this.” (??)
“You finally start talking.” (Sirius)
The girl made a distorted mouth, and told that she wouldn’t talk to .
“It is true that you don’t need to explain, but unfortunately, Hokuto is my partner and my Beast Companion.” (Sirius)
“That’s a lie! Hundred Wolves-sama is an angel of God. It is absolutely impossible for him to be a Beast Companion for a human!” (Sirius)
“Even if you told that… huh?” (Sirius)
“Woof?” (Hokuto)
“…Eh?” (??)
The girl opened her mouth wide as if she had shocked and she beca hardened when looking at and Hokuto tilted our head while facing each other.
I also felt bad because I was like destroying her dream, but it was already irreparable as I stroked Hokuto’s head since he was being spoiled.
Furthermore, it seed that she couldn’t understand Hokuto’s words from the reaction of the girl. As expected, people wouldn’t be able to understand it unless they were Wolfkin or Dogkin.
“Well, now that you have seen Hundred Wolves-sama… I an Hokuto, what are you going to do from now on?” (Sirius)
“…I want to touch Hundred Wolves-sama!” (??)
I wasn’t sure whether the girl stopped thinking about it, but she stretched out to reach Hokuto after rembering the purpose, but Hokuto twisted his body to avoid her.
“…Eh?” (??)
“…Woof.” (Hokuto)
“Ei! Why… don’t avoid it!” (??)
“Don’t you think that he will let a child who doesn’t give her greeting and even tell her na to touch him? As for touching him without permission, that is considered rude no matter who you are.” (Sirius)
“Eh!?” (??)
She was probably convinced since she stopped for a short ti, and then, she slowly bowed. Nevertheless, it was a splendid bow from such a rascal.
“Uhmm… Nice to et you, my na is a. Hundred Wolves-sama, will you let touch you?” (a)
“Woof.” (Hokuto)
“Yes, you can.” (Sirius)
While extending his forefoot, Hokuto barked as if she could touch as much as she want, and the girl nad a touched it with glittering eyes.
“Waahh… It’s fluffy!” (a)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
“It seems that you still have sothing to ask since you are still here.” (Sirius)
“Well… will it be alright to hug him?” (a)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
From a’s appearance who was in high spirits while hugging Hokuto, it seed that she ca only to see him.
Although she was a trespasser, it was pitiful to view her as a bad person since she was still a child.
‘Let’s assu that there is no danger, and let her do what she wants.’
Besides, she might be a girl with a high status because she was able to trespass this kind of place and she was wearing a fine-looking cloth.
When I tried to resu cooking by leaving her to Hokuto, I rembered that her belly was grumbling.
It would be more delicious if I let the stew cooled and ward it again, but it was already completed as a stew.
“May I call you… a-chan? Although you said nothing earlier, I can prepare the stew if you want to eat it.” (Sirius)
“…” (a)
a was riding Hokuto, but she beca silent again because of those words.
Perhaps, she was very cautious to people.
…When I thought about it, I hadn’t eaten lunch because I tasted the stew several tis in the middle of cooking.
For that reason, I thought about eating a little, so I prepared the stew and put it on the table…
“…” (a)
“…Do you want to eat it?” (Sirius)
“!?” (a)
Without she realized it, she ca close and sat in front of . She seed interested when looking at the stew.
Hmm… was it due to befitting upbringing or was there a reason why she didn’t want to eat it?
When I tried to lift up to the spoon to eat the stew…
“…Hokuto. Please invite ‘that’ graciously.” (Sirius)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
After a while Hokuto left the front door according to my instruction, a violent noise began to resound from the outside.
As a was extrely shaken with that noise, Hokuto returned while biting the nape of a female beastkin who had ear like a squirrel.
“This feeling… is that you Grethe?” (a)
“…I’m sorry. I got caught…” (Grethe)
The Squirrelkin who was released by Hokuto, was a woman around twenty years old with a sensual body that would tempt males.
She seed to have sleepy eyes and her spirit couldn’t be noticed, but she lifted her arms as if to say she gave up after having a little fight against Hokuto. In addition… I sohow felt a nostalgic feeling from that woman.
a, who noticed that she was being carried, ran to her while screaming her na as she touched her.
“Are you alright? I heard a loud noise…” (a)
“I’m fine. Hundred Wolves-sama is very strong. I was completely held down without able to resist.” (Grethe)
“You two seem know each other.” (Sirius)
“…Right. My na is Grethe. I am a-sama’s escort.” (Grethe)
Indeed, she had an escort. As I expected, this girl seed to be a noble with a certain status.
Although she had a slightly peculiar tone, the woman called Grethe gave a proper reply. It seed that there would be no problem to hold conversations.
By the way, I offered them to have a seat and sat directly in front of them. I asked for an explanation of the situation while changing the tone suited for a noble.
“Anyhow, why a-sama and her escort are here?” (Sirius)
“a-sama said she wanted to see the Hundred Wolves who has beco a rumor since yesterday. Although I said that it was no good, a-sama left on her own.” (Grethe)
“I wanted to see him!” (a)
“And when I thought that I finally found a-sama, I was held down by the Hundred Wolves-sama.” (Grethe)
“How should I say it… well, sorry about that.” (Sirius)
“…It’s alright. To begin with, it is bad for a-sama to be missing.” (Grethe)
“That is… uhmm, I’m sorry.” (a)
Instead of the relationship between a master and an attendant, these two acted like sisters. There was no doubt that they trusted each other.
For the ti being, a’s goal to touch Hokuto had been achieve, but not only Grethe’s line of sight directed to the stew placed on the table, a grumbling sound of belly similar to a’s resounded.
“…Do you want to eat?” (Sirius)
“Is it alright?” (Grethe)
“If only a little. More importantly, I invited a-sama, but she didn’t eat it. Is there sothing wrong?” (Sirius)
“a-sama won’t eat it unless it is poison tasted.” (Grethe)
“…Is that so?” (Sirius)
When I thought about it, it was a simple reason, but she was unusually stubborn.
They probably could have als if they went back ho, but the appearance of enduring the stew reminded about the siblings in the past. There was no way I could ignore it.
“I don’t really like to make a child feel hungry. So, both of you can eat it.” (Sirius)
“Alright… I’ll eat.” (Grethe)
Unlike a, she began to eat without hesitation.
She was certainly in a state of putting all of her heart, and I was glad that she was engrossed until that much. Anyhow, I was confident about my al this ti.
And then, Grethe finished eating in no ti. She closed her eyes and was imrsed the aftertaste.
“Uhm…I’m satisfied.” (Grethe)
“Grethe! Why are you eating everything!?” (a)
“For caution’s sake, I was poison tasting until the end. Yup, there was no poison.” (Grethe)
“Wuu… It looked tasty… although I had to endure it…” (a)
“There is still so more, so don’t fight.” (Sirius)
a, who had teary eyes, gave a spoiled-child punch, but it seed that there was no effect for Grethe who was satisfied with the stew.
First off, as I poured the stew into the empty dish before a was really going to cry, she reached out the dish with a smile…
“Hot!?” (a)
“Here you go. … and the spoon too.” (Grethe)
a put a finger in the stew and it was hot to the point her finger was getting burned.
When I look at the sight of a receiving the spoon from Grethe, I noticed the sense of incongruity that could be felt from a.
“…The at is very tender!” (a)
“It can be softer, but it seems good enough.” (Sirius)
Well… they were still engrossed with it. So, I would ask them after that.
In the anti, I prepared the plate that got emptied after they finished the stew.
—
After finishing another helping, a was satisfied with her ears moving a little. It seed like the siblings’ tail as she was a child who expressed her emotion with the ears.
At the sa ti, maybe due to the ‘success’ of the stew, her heart began open a bit, and she told to use the usual tone as well.
“It’s delicious!” (a)
“Aah, hold on.” (Grethe)
Grethe released [Wind] at a who was feeling a bit hotter after eating the stew.
Since the al and their business were over, they would only need to return ho, but since Hokuto touched my shoulder with the forefoot and was appealing, I decided to step in a bit.
“Say, a-chan. I have sothing I’d like to ask… is it alright?” (Sirius)
“Hmm, what is it?” (a)
“Could it be that a-chan is blind?” (Sirius)
It was a feeling out of place that I felt since I t her.
Starting from the eyeball and pupil movent, putting the finger into the stew, and the movent to take the spoon handed over were all strange.
I thought that it was rude to ask such a thing soon after seeing , but even though I shouldn’t get involved, I still asked her because I beca concerned due to various things.
In the worst case, I was also prepared to be scold, but after thinking for a while, a frankly nodded.
“Yes. That’s right.” (a)
“…a-sama, is it fine to tell that?” (Grethe)
“Onii-san is kind, and it is fine since he is also Hundred Wolves-sama’s partner.” (a)
“I’m happy that you trust . I will ask this next. Can you tell how much you can’t see?” (Sirius)
“Well, it is almost impossible to see Onii-san from here, I think?” (a)
Apparently, she wasn’t completely blind.
However, even at a distance that she could reach with her hands, the eyesight seed bad enough to distinguish the overall shape and the approximate color.
“So you ca here in such a state, is it?” (Sirius)
“It’s alright because my nose and ears are good!” (a)
“For , that’s not alright at all. I am worried so much that made feel myself in trouble.” (Grethe)
“Thi-this ti is fine, isn’t it!? I also t Hundred Wolves-sama. Plus, I get to eat the stew!” (a)
“Yes… To be honest, that is good. Occasionally, there are good things like this.” (Grethe)
I took my eyes away from those two who were in agreent. Then, I looked at Hokuto once and we both nodded.
At that ti… I heard that a who was hugging Hokuto had muttered sothing.
{Hundred Wolves-sama… please cure my eyes.} (a)
Yesterday, I confird from the conversation of the beastkin who made a racket because of Hokuto. It seed that there was a rumor in this town about people’s wish would co true if they touched Hundred Wolves.
It was probably a kind of so-called urban legend.
The beastkin basically didn’t touched the Hundred Wolves maybe because they were revering it, but there was a scene of an innocent child appeared out of nowhere and touched him, the adults beca flustered and stopped the child.
Maybe it was also due to the Hundred Wolves’ mystique, even if they wanted to touch him, the rumor said not to touch him, and it might changed as ti went on. Well, rumors were that kind of thing.
The thing that Hokuto appealed earlier was as if he was asking… if I could do sothing about it. He was unsparing to the enemies and associates like the sibling, but he was pretty gentle to kids.
Well… I wasn’t sure if I could completely cure it, but I probably could manage to so extent.
Since she wasn’t completely blind and she still could see vaguely, there was a way to do it.
“If it’s just a-chan’s eye, maybe, you can see well.” (Sirius)
“Really!?” (a)
“a-sama, it’s not good to expect too much. You too. Don’t say that when you have no grounds.” (Grethe)
“I have seen the illness like this from a princess of a certain country. I think that I will know the cause at least.” (Sirius)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
“…Please.” (a)
Of course, it was doubtful, but with Hokuto’s bark that supported , a gave a nod.
I had to touch a to find the cause, and when I touched her, Grethe started to display disapproval.
“Stop it. That is unacceptable.” (Grethe)
“It’s alright, Grethe. If he intended to do sothing, he would already do it.” (a)
“Even so… If sothing happened to a-sama… I will stop even if I have to stab you…” (Grethe)
Grethe watched every of my movent while unleashing bloodlust. At the sa ti, I put my hand on a’s head and the result of [Scan] was…
“…It looks like sothing had happened. I will explain beforehand. From now on, your eyes will feel and you will feel so pain, I think.” (Sirius)
“Does it hurt?” (a)
“Yes. I will keep it to the minimum as possible, but tell if you can’t handle it anymore. Well, I’m going to start. Close your eyes until I give you a signal.” (Sirius)
“Understood!” (a)
After confirming that her eyes were closed, I flowed mana gradually into her body and made a [Boost] activated.
Since I activated [Boost] many tis in order to teach it to the disciples, even if they felt hot and pain, there was no after effect like getting sluggish.
“…What is this? Like Onii-san said before, the eyes feel hot, and… it feels a bit tingling.” (a)
“I wonder if it’s alright now? Slowly open your eyes and look around.” (Sirius)
“Aah… I can see… I can see!” (a)
[Boost] was a magic that strengthened the body. If it was specifically activated on the eyes, it could enhance the eyesight. It made people to see things at a distant without a binocular.
In other words, I strengthened the eyesight and increase its value from negative to its usual value. Although that wouldn’t make her to see things in a distant, it would be visible enough to the extent that interfering with everyday life wouldn’t happen.
“Really? a-sama, how many of my fingers are?” (Grethe)
“Three… No, I can see that your fingers have increased to four. Yeay, I’m cured!” (a)
“No, you are not. It ans that…” (Sirius)
“Not cured… eh!?” (a)
When I stopped the mana, of course, the [Boost] was also stopped, and her eyesight returned to the original condition.
I let mana flow into a who was confused, and I continued to explain in a state where she could see again.
“You know what is Mana right? Right now I am putting my mana on you to improve your eyes. So, if a-chan can handle mana, even if I am not there, you will be able to see just like now.” (Sirius)
“But I have never used magic before, you know? And it’s hard to study magic…” (a)
“It is not good to give up because it is difficult. You have to try everything. If not, it’s not good.” (Sirius)
“Yes. Of course, you need to work hard.” (Grethe)
“Grethe also…” (a)
To tell the truth, there was a thod of doing surgery with [String], but there was higher risk because it would deal with delicate nerves. I wouldn’t able to do such an operation without her parent’s permission.
Therefore, I taught how to make up for it with own effort.
Fortunately, Grethe was also being cooperative. It would be just as good as studying on how to handle mana.
“Grethe… will you teach ?” (a)
“It is possible to teach you to a certain extent.” (Grethe)
“Onii-san also… will you teach ?” (a)
“… I’m sorry. I think that it is impossible because I am an adventurer.” (Sirius)
“Ah, is that so?” (a)
It seed that she understood that as an adventurer, I wouldn’t stay long in this town.
I felt a bit irresponsible, but this was a problem with the sensory. Actually, since she already experienced it, all she needed to do were putting her efforts and perseverance.
“Keep in mind with the current feeling. If you believe you can do it, you will surely be able to do it.” (Sirius)
“…Yes!” (a)
And then, in order to let her rember the feeling of [Boost], I let my mana flow into a several tis.
—
After a and Grethe returned ho, I prepared the dinner while explaining the event of today to the disciples when they ca back.
Originally, I intended to explain it slowly while eating, but when Emilia returned, she felt the sll of won. It seed that she noticed the slight sll left by a and Grethe. As expected of a wolf…
Since the ladies were making noise asking whether I brought in prostitutes, I had to explain while preparing the dinner.
“…In that case, when that child rembered roughly the flow of mana, they returned ho.” (Sirius)
“Is it so? I am sorry for being so loud.” (Emilia)
“Uuh… I feel so embarrassed. …I’m sorry.” (Reese)
“Hey, I am curious about this. Is it easy to learn [Boost] taught by Sirius? I have a hard ti to learn it.” (Fia)
“That’s because Fia knows how to use [Boost] beforehand. Besides, I taught the girl [Boost] that is not on the whole body, but it is only on the eyes. Therefore, it shouldn’t be that difficult.” (Sirius)
Fortunately, the girl didn’t know other [Boost]. After rembering the feeling of the body, a repetitive practice should be enough.
Honestly, I wanted to teach her a bit more in a few days, but far from hoping to see them again, they didn’t tell their true identities to the end. In other words, they must be hiding their identities.
Since I also taught her on a whim, if there was anything over there, I didn’t need to be actively involved.
The al preparation was over as I finished explaining, we started to have the dinner.
Since I had ti today, I prepared a variety of dishes other than the stew which had to be cooked thoroughly, and this had beco like a small party.
“The usual stew is delicious, but the one today is much more special!” (Reus)
“There is even a special dressing. The salad is delicious!” (Emilia)
“Another please.” (Reese)
“I have made plenty today, so please eat as much as you want. Fia… this one too?” (Sirius)
“Hehe, you noticed that, right? Let’s drink together.” (Fia)
While they reached out for the dishes, Fia and I were drinking the wine brought from the wine cellar in basent.
By the way, even though I usually drank alcohol, I didn’t drink with the siblings and Reese.
Although the dishes were more delicious than drinking, Emilia would act rashly when drinking it, so Reus didn’t know the taste of alcohol well.
Reese was a bit special. For so reason, she didn’t get drunk at all even if she drank. For Reese, alcohol was a kind of juice that had a strange taste. So, she focused more on als since she couldn’t associate with the taste.
Therefore, it was inevitable that it was only and Fia who drank it.
After eating the dinner, I had a tea while listening to the situation of the disciples went to the guild, but…
“Hmmm… did you hit so adventurers?” (Sirius)
“Sa as always.” (Emilia)
I didn’t need to be bias, but Emilia, Reese and Fia were beautiful won. Hence, there was no end of people trying to get close.
It would be nice if people knew that they were my lovers, but they often invite for a fight. It was a daily occurrence that I unleashed bloodlust or Reus could beat them and made them fainted.
“If it is Fia-san, that’s normal. However, Emilia was often called out in this town.” (Reese)
“Well. I am embarrassed when I hear that. So, I completely refused all of their questions.” (Fia)
“I am happy to be yearned for, but I am not interested with a man other than Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)
“So, they thought of as Aniki and invited for a fight. I had to hit to silence them.” (Reus)
“Good job, Reus.” (Sirius)
“I only protect Nee-chans, and I have to protect them when Aniki is not there!” (Reus)
As usual, I listened to the situation of the guild while stroking the siblings’ head. Anyhow, it seed that there were various requests because this was the only big town.
However, this was the first town, so they had been constantly moving since many people were likely to be attracted to Emilia and Fia.
“Since Sirius wasn’t with us today, we only did requests that didn’t require us to go outside the town. Incidentally, we were able to grasp the structure of the town as well.” (Fia)
“Sirius-sama, this is the earnings today.” (Emilia)
I received a pouch contained with several silver coins and copper coins from Emilia.
It would be enough to earn this much in a day, but that amount was unreliable if we wanted to continue traveling. There were five of us, but our Engel coefficient was higher than the ordinary adventurer parties.
“Aah, I’ll take care of it. Has everyone taken your own share?” (Sirius)
“Yes, we have already taken one silver coin each. The rest are given to Sirius.” (Fia)
“Got it. As usual, tell if you need sothing.” (Sirius)
After taking the money, I took out an oversized cake as a desert after dinner, and cut it.
While the disciples made glittering eyes as they indulged the cake, Emilia who finished eating half of her share was thinking of sothing with a bit serious expression.
“What is it, Emilia? Should I share mine if you don’t have enough?” (Sirius)
“I want you to share it!” (Reus)
“ too!” (Reese)
By the ti I cut the cake for the hungry siblings and put it on a plate, as if the thoughts were the sa, Emilia opened his mouth after turning her eyes on .
“Sirius-sama. I will ask this for the sake of confirmation. The girl who ca here was called a, right?” (Emilia)
“Do you have any clue of her?” (Sirius)
“Yes. I’m not sure whether this is the truth or not, but I heard it when I was gathering information in the town. The beastkin ruler who govern this town has two children. The daughter’s na is Mary…” (Emilia)
“…Do you an that girl is that Mary?” (Sirius)
“The age of the beastkin ruler’s daughter is about eight years old. I heard that she is a Tigerkin girl, so whether that is good enough information…” (Emilia)
It was true that she was escorted and I could feel a bit of elegance from a.
But, as a princess of a royal family, it was strange that she only had one escort. I wanted to deny that she had sufficient ability to co out in town especially in that state, but… as Emilia said, the likelihood that it was the sa person was high.
Well… even if she was the princess herself, she had promised not to talk about , so there was nothing bad. It probably wouldn’t beco a lese majeste.
As Emilia ate the cake to shake off a bad feeling, it seed that she was happy from the state where her tail was wagging, and I noticed that she continued to look at .
“Sirius-sama…” (Emilia)
“What is it?” (Reus)
“Please give a mouthful.” (Emilia)
Since she was waiting with a mouth like a bird, I feed her the cake with a wry smile.
—
“Sirius-sama, while you’ve been away from early in the morning, I have received sothing like this earlier.” (Emilia)
Next day… while having breakfast as we got up early in the morning, the manager of [Wolf King] ca in with a letter.
It seed to be a letter from a considerable person from the appearance of the manager’s strainedness and the letter which was luxuriously decorated.
While sensing a bad premonition, I asked the manager who gave the letter…
“It was from one of the aides who serve the beastkin ruler, McDatt-sama.” (Manager)
I felt like holding my head. The content could be sothing like wanting to et Hokuto who was a Hundred Wolves.
I read the letter as I had that hope in my heart, but… as I finished reading it, I inadvertently sighed.
“Say Sirius, what was written in it?” (Fia)
“Is Aniki’s splendor reached that far?” (Reus)
“Is there such a thing? Everyone should read it.” (Sirius)
The sender of the letter was McDatt who was also Mary’s teacher, and the girl was the daughter of the beastkin ruler.
In other words, the girl from yesterday was definitely the princess of this country.
a promised to treat our eting as a secret, but she was still a child. If she was questioned, it was inevitable to give the answer…
Nevertheless… I really didn’t want to get involved, but why I kept getting involved with royalties and high ranking people? Seriously, it couldn’t be helped if I let out a sigh or two.
And when I put together the contents of the letter on the table so that everyone could see… it seed that he invited to the castle and wanted to thank you since Princess Mary was taken care of.
“Ooh! As expected of Aniki. Let’s get ready at once!” (Reus)
“That’s too bad. Apparently, I am the only one who get the invitation. Moreover, it is from a castle. Therefore, it is obvious that I can’t invite others.” (Sirius)
“But isn’t… a bit too sudden today?” (Fia)
“I also want to see the inside of the castle.” (Reese)
“If it is from the castle, I must arrange your appearance. Sirius-sama, I will do the preparation imdiately.” (Emilia)
And then, I wore the mantle embedded with Elysion emblem which was brought by Emilia. As Reus rembered the way of royalties, he waved hand like a flash.
“Hei, Aniki. Even though Aniki is the only one invited, isn’t obvious that Hokuto-san also should be invited together?” (Reus)
“That will be good. If it’s Sirius-sama, you’ll be fine even if sothing happen, but it feels better if Hokuto-san goes along with you.” (Emilia)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
“Hmm, it’s true that they will allow him in, but if those guys are like the gatekeepers of this town, it’s going to be a hassle…” (Sirius)
“Woof…” (Hokuto)
Moreover, according to the manager of the [Wolf King], the information control hadn’t been completed yet. He said that he would like Hokuto to wait for another day before he went out into town.
In addition, it would be a trouble if there was a fight in the castle. Therefore, I would head there alone according to the letter.
“Rather than looking around the town, it is strange to go to the castle first.” (Sirius)
“Please don’t hesitate to call us if there is sothing. Whether it is a country or a castle, we will break through and find Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)
“If it’s now, I will be able to slice the castle gate!” (Reus)
…Yeah. If sothing happened to , the siblings would definitely charged in.
In order to avoid such a thing, I had to deliberately handle the situation in the castle.
“Well then, I’m going.” (Sirius)
“Please take care.” (Emilia)
“““Take care!””” (Reese/Reus/Fia)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
In this way, I was sent off by Hokuto and the disciples who were waving hands, and I headed for the Arbitray’s castle.
—
— Reus —
After sending Aniki off, we remained inside the [Wolf King] without going to the town.
Since Aniki was resting yesterday, he told us to take a rest today.
“It’s been a long ti to relax this much…” (Reese)
“Yes, it is. Would you like to have more tea?” (Emilia)
“Yes, please. But, I want wine instead.” (Fia)
“Please don’t drink in the middle of the day. Sirius-sama had made sweets yesterday, so please endure with it.” (Emilia)
“Well, it can’t be helped then. Yeah, it’s not too sweet, so I can eat as much as I want.” (Fia)
“*Nomnom*… it’s delicious.” (Reese)
Nee-chans were relaxing at the table in the courtyard, but since I didn’t feel good unless I moved my body, I was doing a push up slightly away from them.
However, since it was boring to do a normal pushup, I did it with Hokuto-san’s forefoot pushing my back.
“Fuh… fuh… Hokuto-san, it’s fine to be heavier.” (Reus)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
“Guhh!? Wait a sec… that’s impossible!” (Reus)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
“Ooh! That’s the guts!” (Reus)
At the mont when I was getting on the mood, Hokuto-san held down with more strength than expected. Anyhow, Hokuto-san was strict.
And then, the day beca noon, and it was ti to feel hungry.
When Nee-chan and Reese-ane asked what I wanted to have for lunch… Since Hokuto-san suddenly stood up and stared at one corner of the courtyard, Nee-chan shouted without a mont delay.
“Enemy attack!? Reus!” (Emilia)
“Ouu!” (Reus)
“Water… please…” (Reese)
“Leave the support to !” (Fia)
At that ti, I was swinging sword, so I was able to take combat posture imdiately.
With a bit delayed, Nee-chans were ready for battle, but… fortunately, we didn’t have to fight.
It was because the intruder who ca from the courtyard tree made a dignified appearance without holding weapons.
“…Please excuse .” (??)
The opponent had a slightly rounded tail, and it was a tall adult woman.
She was a big breasted woman who was likely to attract n who drank in a bar, but sohow the eyes looked so sleepy.
I couldn’t feel bloodlust from her, but there was no doubt that she was an intruder. As I carefully looked at the opponent’s movent, Nee-chan who was by my side extended her hand in front of .
“You… are you Grethe-san?” (Emilia)
“Yes. I am Grethe. Nice to et you.” (Grethe)
“Nice to et you too. Leaving that aside, is there anything we can do for you?” (Emilia)
“I have sothing that I want to tell you. I don’t have intention to fight, so please put down your weapons.” (Grethe)
Aniki was right. The way she talked was funny.
It seed that she didn’t want to fight us as stated, so we put down our weapons since Nee-chan withdrew hers.
However, according to Aniki, the other side seed to be better at erasing presence, so I had to make sure not to be careless.
“So, what do you want to tell us?” (Emilia)
“It is about your master, Sirius.” (Grethe)
“…If it is about Sirius-sama, is he coming back now?” (Emilia)
“Well, I saw him in the castle but he was…” (Grethe)
And then, while we still kept vigilance, shocking words coming out from Grethe’s mouth.
“He was imprisoned in the basent of the castle.” (Grethe)

Presenting Hokuto
That day, Hokuto-kun was in a good mood.
He got plenty of brushing on the night before and today he was the only one remained with the Master.
“Yes, the seasoning should be like this. Next is to boil it…” (Sirius)
It would be good to play with the Master, but since nobody was here, it was enough just to sit next to him while he was cooking.
In this way, he leisurely spent ti with the Master alone. In fact, he was used to spend ti with Shishou in the previous life.
As he felt nostalgic of the sight that remind him of the past… he felt a presence approaching from outside of the residence.
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
Hokuto felt a boorish presence approaching the mansion, so he went outside in order not to disturb the Master’s work.
And then, as Hokuto-kun approached slowly while hiding his presence, a small girl went into bushes and hid her figure.
No, it couldn’t be say that she was hiding. It was because she was hiding her head, but not her butt.
While being amazed with terrible appearance of stealth, Hokuto gently tapped the suspicious back with his paw.
“Kya!? Wha!?” (a)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
The surprised girl jumped out of the bushes, but Hokuto picked her collar with a quick movent and lifted her.
“By any chance… are you Hundred Wolves-sama!?” (a)
“Woof…” (Hokuto)
Although she was a cute girl, there was no doubt that she was an intruder. Therefore, Hokuto caught his neck and brought her to the Master.

One thing after another happened next, and it turned out that the girl’s na was a-chan. And then, Hokuto and the Master noticed another presence was approaching the inn.
“…Hokuto. Please invite ‘that’ graciously.” (Sirius)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
Unlike the previous one, the presence was thin this ti. Unlike an ordinary person, it was an expert way of hiding presence.
However… Hokuto-kun’s sharpness and nose couldn’t be fooled.
Hokuto-kun went around behind the intruder like a gust of wind. He tried to observe from behind whether it was a friend or foe, but…
“Eh!? Enemy!” (Grethe)
While throwing a knife behind without looking back, the intruder jumped high and took a distance.
However, Hokuto-kun started moving as soon as he repelled the knife and he went around behind her at the sa ti as she landed. It was like an afterimage of a dog.
“–Mugyuuu.” (Grethe)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
Before she turned around, he used his paw to hold her back and stopped her movent.
The intruder was struggling for a while, but she gave up since she was completely restrained.
“I am… not tasty.” (Grethe)
“Woof!” (Hokuto)
Hokuto-kun was greatly misunderstood. After that, she didn’t resist being bitten on the nape and Hokuto-kun brought her to the Master.
In this way, Hokuto-kun’s capture play was over.
