We talked while the others cleaned up
“Haha. That was quite entertaining. I see that you are quite odd, Mr. Takumi. It is no wonder the duke is fond of you.”
“Uh…”
I was currently talking with Mr. Soldan in the corner of the room.
The others were cleaning up, but this really just meant putting away the chairs.
Ms. Delia sat next to me. Her back was straight and she seemed a little nervous, though I didn’t understand why she would me.
Well, this was her first time meeting a potential employer… So it was like sitting next to the boss of the company you wanted to join.
“Still, I have never met a beastkin before. I did not realize how different their ears are. Ah, excuse me. I don’t mean to be rude.”
“Ye-yes…”
Mr. Soldan said conversationally. But he wasn’t even looking at Ms. Delia, as his eyes were still fixed on the papers on his desk.Well, perhaps his reaction was normal. I had also been surprised when I first saw Liza. Especially since the rest of her looked quite human. But I wasn’t as surprised as most people, because I was just reminded of Leo and Sherry.
“You shouldn’t be so nervous. If you get nervous around the likes of me, you won’t last long.”
“Re-really?”
Mr. Soldan continued to say. He was probably talking about Claire and Tilura, since they were the duke’s daughters.
“Ms. Delia, was it? If you want to meet the Silver Fenrir, then you will likely have to meet the ladies of the duke’s household as well.”
“Oh…? I…I… I am not worthy of meeting them…”
“Well, Mr. Soldan is right. They are with Leo right now. And so we will go together and meet them.”
“Uh… Are you sure about this? They might take offense at the sight of me. Especially since I’m a beastkin…”
Well, there was no need to worry about that. I was more likely to say something rude than anyone else, and they never cared.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Delia. Claire…uh, the duke’s daughter, is not the kind of person to react like that. Besides, she doesn’t believe those kinds of rumors regarding beastkin. She should be quite welcoming to you… Oh, sorry…”
“No-no, it’s fine…”
While offering words of encouragement, I accidentally patted her on the head. Perhaps seeing her so anxious had made me think of how Liza used to be.
“…It reminded me of when people from my village would sometimes pat me on the head… It was nice…”
“Really? Well, I guess it’s because I’m always petting Leo.”
After that, we listened to Mr. Soldan as he talked about how wonderful a person Duke Ekenhart was.
And when we were ready to leave, I said goodbye to him and left the building with Ms. Delia in order to meet up with the others.
