Ms. Claire Could Talk With Sherry
“Liza. Did you understand what Sherry said just now?”
“Yes, I did. Uhh… She called you master. And papa is someone she has to obey. And I’m…her junior?”
“Yes. So you do understand. Good for you.”
“Hehe…”
When Ms. Claire asked her again, Liza was able to answer her perfectly.
As for saying that she had to obey me… I suppose it was because of Leo. She had glanced at Leo once, and Leo had nodded.
And Liza was her junior… Was this because of the order that they arrived?
Or was it because she saw Liza as being the same as her, because she was beastkin… In any case, Liza was actually older than Sherry.
Ms. Claire must have understood Sherry as well, as she nodded with satisfaction at this and patted Liza on the head.
She did it just as I had told her. I suppose it was because she was used to petting Sherry.
Maybe Ms. Claire was more interested in that, then whether or not Liza could talk with Leo and Sherry?
It seemed she was more pleased by that part, anyway.
“Well, you finally got to pet her ears, Claire. And we have confirmed that she can talk to Sherry and Leo.”
“F-father…”
“Indeed. But it will be quite convenient to have other people who understand what Sherry is saying.”
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t know that you could understand her too, Ms. Claire…?”
“We-well, Mr. Takumi…”
Mr. Ekenhart teased his daughter when he saw how pleased she looked.
And while Ms. Claire moved her hand away in denial, it was not very convincing.
Well, Ms. Claire was always full of curiosity, so it was no surprise.
In any case, Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastion were quite satisfied, now that we knew that Liza could talk with beast type monsters. But Ms. Claire…
In general, Sherry was seen with Tilura and Leo a lot, so I hadn’t even noticed this about her and Ms. Claire.
After all, I could only vaguely understand…
And so when I asked, Ms. Claire blushed a little and then started to explain.
Apparently, after she had named Sherry, and made her a familiar, they started to be able to understand each other.
When bringing her back from the forest, she had only been able to guess based on gestures, so it clearly happened after that.
Sebastian then explained, rather eagerly, that depending on their bond, a master and familiar could know each other’s will.
So this suggested that Ms. Claire might have a strong affinity with fenrirs.
However, it would not be like that with all monsters. So it was rather complicated.
In any case, if Sherry wanted to say something now, we wouldn’t have to go through Leo or Ms. Claire. Liza was now a third option.
Though, since Liza was with me a lot, it would probably just be better to ask Leo.
“I wish I had such a cute familiar like Sherry…”
Tilura muttered a little sulkily as she hugged Leo.
Previously, when Mr. Ekenhart was teaching us to fight, she had also said that she wanted a familiar. Perhaps she had hoped that this would happen soon…
“Tilura. You want a familiar? What kind?”
“Ummm… A cute one!”
“I see, I see. Well, you will have to become much stronger for that to happen.”
“I know! That’s why I’ve been training!”
“Mmm. Good. Familiars don’t obey those who are weak. Sherry is an exception, because of Leo… However, you should become stronger and find a familiar that is worthy of you.”
“Okay!”
Upon being asked by her father, Tilura had immediately replied that she wanted a cute familiar.
Well, when looking at Sherry and Leo, I could understand why she wanted a cute familiar. But were there such monsters out there?
If she got another fenrir, it would be cute…but if it was a different monster. All I had seen were trolls and orcs. And they were like pigs that walked on two legs.
And while I’m sure that some people might think differently, I doubted that Tilura would find them cute.
Besides, they also had to be quite intelligent, so it would be difficult.
In any case, after hearing Mr. Ekenhart’s words, Tilura was now completely focused on her sword training.
She no longer seemed sulky at all, so you could say that Mr. Ekenhart had succeeded in distracting her.
Well, Tilura was not too different from her father and sister… It would be a terrible thing if her curiosity got the better of her, and she went off to the forest alone in order to find a familiar.
As both Ms. Claire and Sebastian looked relieved, I noticed that Mr. Ekenhart seemed to be thinking about something. And then a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
What was he thinking about?
While it was clear that he doted on his daughter, and would not put her in harm’s way, this was still the person who had made me fight in the store as part of my training… So it was possible that he might do something similar to her.
…Well, I just hoped he wouldn’t do anything that would make Ms. Claire furious at him again.
