My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

I decided to talk more casually

---

Perhaps it was because Nicholas had a serious manner that was different from the others. And so it was harder for people to approach or befriend him. As for me…

Well, I would not think about the past now. I did not want to trouble my uncle, and so I moved out as soon as possible and worked hard. After that, I had Leo, so there was little time to make friends.

“I don’t know why Mr. Takumi is getting hit too, but… In any case, it’s not just me. Mr. Takumi is also talking quite politely.”

“Well, I try to be polite to everyone.”

“That’s why you have so few friends, Nicholas. I think people see it as you putting up walls.”

“I see…”

He seemed quite shocked by this. Well, I suppose it was true.

In any case, the problem was how the villagers would see us.

After all, it wasn’t like we were going to go around and declare to everyone that we were friends. That would look more suspicious.

“So I think it would be more natural if we didn’t talk so politely when we are inside of the village.”

“…I see. I understand Nicholas’s way of thinking…but it would look strange.”

I agreed with Phillip, and decided that I would talk more casually from now on.

“So that’s how it is… Hmm… This is going to take some getting used to…”

“It doesn’t have to be all of us. If just one person, like Nicholas, is different, then it will be fine. It’s just that it would look strange if all three of us were too polite.”

“That’s true. Very well, Nicholas…you stay as you are. I and Phillip will change instead.”

“Yes, yes. That’s good. I will be careful from now on.

Of course, as we had been talking like this for a long time, it would probably sound strange. However, we would hopefully get used to it before we arrived in the village.

After that, we cleaned up, and I continued to talk casually while training until it was time to sleep.

“There really aren’t any monsters around here now. Even though there were before.”

“Did you find traces?”

“Look… I was bored, so I looked around a little….”

“Yes, it does look like a monster passed through here.”

The next morning, we talked while getting ready for the morning. Philip started to talk about monsters again.

He gestured for us to come. And then he pointed to an area where the grass had been bent, and something had been dragged through it.

The dragging lines curved towards the east direction…

“But it stops right here…”

“That is very strange. If it was a monster, the traces shouldn’t just stop…”

“Hmmm…”

It was clearly not a human or horse. Perhaps someone had dragged something through here. But the lines should be thicker.

Also, why did it stop close to where we were?

“Besides, what kind of monster would make lines like this?”

“There are several… Like serpents. They like to hide in the grass and target their prey. They have sharp fangs that are filled with poison, which makes them very dangerous. As for their size…around from here to there.”

“Poison, huh…”

According to Nicholas, they were about five meters long. Though, the part that concerned me was the poison.

“Well, that won’t be a problem. Because Mr. Takumi is here. And we can treat any bites with herbs.”

“But I don’t know what herbs are effective for serpent poison…”

“Just make the same herb used for the Cockatrice petrification. Mr. Sebastian told you, didn’t he? You just need to drink it.”

“Ah, that one… It should be fine then.”
