Liza was very happy to have met Ms. Delia
Normally, when hiring people, you thought about how much they could contribute to your profits.
But with Claire, she thought about their words and actions. If they could work without causing any trouble. If they would enjoy the work.
It was like she didn’t just think about herself, but was also concerned if the person would be happy taking such a position.
I suppose she wanted unity, and for everyone to be able to live in peace.
As I thought of such things, we arrived at the room.
“Uh, papa?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“Wou?”
While putting my things away, Liza suddenly called to me.I turned to look and saw her standing happily next to Leo.
“We met a lady just like me today. Though, the shape of her ears and tail were a little different…”
“Ms. Delia. She is a beastkin too. So you were happy to see her?”
“Yes! While I have papa and mama… I’m still different… Well, mama has a tail too, but…”
“Wou!”
Apparently, Liza could not hide her excitement at meeting Ms. Delia.
So she must have been feeling something about being different.
Leo barked and rubbed her face against Liza’s cheek.
“If we look, we might be able to find more of them too. And if we go to the country to the north, it is humans who are considered unusual.”
“I see! But even if there are a lot of people like me, I want to be with mama and papa.”
“Haha. Of course, we feel the same. Still, it would be nice for you to be able to meet more beastkin one day.”
“Yes!”
“Wou!”
I didn’t know if it would be possible, but I did like the idea of taking Liza there eventually.
Even though the kingdoms had once been at war, it seemed like they were on good terms these days. Also, traveling with Leo and Liza sounded like fun.
Of course, I could not abandon my work with the herbs. So it would have to be after everything with that was settled… Whenever that was.
“Mr. Takumi. May I come in?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Excuse me.”
There was still some time before dinner, and so I was thinking about what to do next when there was a knock on the door, and then Ms. Gelda entered.
As they were tired, Ms. Lyra and Milina were probably resting.
“Mr. Takumi. Ms. Helena wants you to come to the kitchens immediately…”
“Ah, I suppose it is about the konjac? Very well. I will go.”
Phillip had taken it to the kitchens as soon as we arrived.
These days, it seemed like Ms. Helena confided in me whenever a new ingredient arrived… Well, I suppose I did have a little knowledge about it.
“Papa. Should I help too?”
“Hmm… This time it is not so simple. So you should stay with Leo. I’m sure you are tired?”
“I’m not tired at all… But okay! I’ll be with mama!”
Indeed, she did not look tired at all. Beastkin had more energy than humans. As for me, I would probably feel tired when I woke up tomorrow.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Helena.”
“Mr. Takumi. Thank you for coming. I probably should have gone to you. But…as you can see…”
“Haha. It is right before dinner, so it could not be helped.”
