My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

I talked like a know-it-all

---

“Think together and persuade her…”

“Why she prefers to play with Leo and the others…why she hasn’t been as attentive with her training. Why she dislikes studying. I am sure there are reasons for it.”

Tilura was smart, so I doubted that she hated studying because it was too hard. It could just be that she simply preferred to move around.

“I think I understand now why she listens to you, Mr. Takumi.”

“She does?”

“Yes. Now that I think about it, you never say no outright or try to force something. I suppose it is easier to talk to you.”

“Hmm… Well, I am careful so that others don’t feel pressured…”

I suppose it was because I had been rejected all of the time at my old job. There were times when it felt like that was all other people did. And it often felt so unfair.

And so when dealing with other people, I tried hard to understand where they were coming from first.

Besides, when raising Leo, I learned that just scolding her was not going to work.

I had my own reasons and way of thinking, just as others did. If we talked, then it would reduce the amount of clashes or hurt feelings.

“Thank you, Mr. Takumi. When I see things like that, I can understand why Tilura was upset.”

“That’s good. In any case, you are sisters, so it’s good that you can be honest. If you can both reflect, then this was probably a good thing.”

“Indeed. When Tilura was younger, she rarely went against me or argued like that. So I wasn’t used to it.”

“Well, it was mainly Sebastian and Ms. Lyra who convinced that it could be a good thing. Uh, do you want to say something, Sebastian?”

“You already said everything that I wanted to say.”

Oh, so he was going to give her advice as well.

Uh…and he didn’t seem too happy about having lost the opportunity…

“Nevermind Sebastian. In any case, I want to know why Tilura hasn’t been able to focus with her training.”

“Yes, I have noticed that as well. It’s only when she is swinging at Leo, or playing with her, that she seems fully focused…”

“Is something bothering her? It doesn’t seem like she hates training or is bored of it.”

“It might be because Rahle was gone. But I have a feeling that it started before that…”

“In any case, I will have to talk to her about it.”

“Hmm… As she is not, she might not tell you…”

“Indeed, it would not be wise for Lady Claire to ask her right now.”

“She really wouldn’t tell me?”

“Normally, she would tell you, Lady Claire… But she would be quite emotional right now. It has not been long enough since your argument. So she might just get more angry.”

“I see… She would not be in a very cooperative mood right now. It will be difficult.”

Ms. Lyra had gone with Tilura, so she would likely have calmed down a little by now. But Claire going could just cause her to get angry all over again.

Perhaps Ms. Lyra could ask her…

Ah, surely Sebastian would be able to extract such information with ease?
