My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Ms. Delia wanted to be praised

“As I knew you would be coming, I wanted to clear the area of monsters! Though, I’m sure it would not be a problem with Leo. Speaking of Leo… Where is she?”

“Well, due to certain reasons, she is staying home. I actually was going to come with her partway.”

“…So that is why we didn’t see any monsters here.”

“The mystery is solved then. It was Ms. Delia… I suppose she is used to dealing with monsters. I would like to train with her later.”

While she said it so casually, it would have been quite dangerous. And yet she still did it voluntarily.

I was grateful, but worried…

“Even without Leo, you really didn’t need to do all of that.”

“No, it was no trouble at all. I was able to get a nice jog around the village. Besides, I’m sure the others will be happy when they see this serpent.”

“The old men like to put it in liquor. Apparently, it adds a nice sting to your tongue. But I don’t like the stuff, and never drink it…”

“…”

“Uhh?”

“Mr. Takumi. Just do it.”

“We won’t watch, if that’s what you are worrying about.”

Ms. Delia was looking at me with expectant eyes. Clearly she wanted to be praised. It kind of reminded me of Leo.

“Uh.. Well done. Ms. Delia. Good, good…”

With no other choice, I reached out and patted her on the head.

“Woof. Kuun… Ah, excuse me! I just remembered when you did that to me the last time…”

“No…as long as you are happy…”

Ms. Delia had sounded just like a dog… Though, she had been like a cat when she caught the thief.

“In any case, let us go to Bleiyu village!”

“Yes. Uh, do you want to ride with us, Ms. Delia?”

“Not at all. Sometimes, I do ride on horses, to pretend like I am human. But I usually prefer to run. I ran by myself to Ractos before as well. Of course, I walked normally when on the main road.”

“Uh…well…I see…”

Regardless, we then packed our things on the horses and continued our journey to Bleiyu village.

But Ms. Delia intended to run again. And she crouched low and got ready to run.

Well, judging from what I had seen earlier, she was capable of running at the same speed as a horse. So perhaps it was better for her.

Maybe she was like Leo, and enjoyed running around.

Still, the fact that she could run like that, and also catch a serpent as if it was nothing… It really was amazing.

Perhaps if she ran without any restrictions, she could run even faster than a horse.

“By the way, Mr. Takumi. Compared to when we last met in Ractos… You seem to be acting a little different with these men…?”
