Tilura’s idea was rejected
Rahle was quite disappointed upon realizing this whole thing was a waste of time. And after pecking at the grass for a moment, it turned to look at the Cockatrices.
They still looked scared and bewildered… Though, it was probably more related to Sebastian talking about eating them.
“That was really wrong, Rahle! Taking them away from their home. And the very idea of eating them for dinner… The poor things!”
“Pii! Pii!”
“Pii!”
“Wou…”
“Kii…”
As if realizing that she was an ally, the Cockartrices ran towards Tilura’s feet.
That was fine, but Leo also sounded disappointed. I suppose she was hungry.“What should we do…”
“Doing what Rahle wants would be the simplest. But I must be getting old. Seeing them stick to Lady Tilura like that makes me feel sympathetic.”
Sympathetic? You wanted to eat them more than anyone here, Sebastian.
“But it seems like there is no point in returning them now…”
“Yes. Besides, there are many other monsters in the forest. So they will easily become prey.”
“Indeed…”
“This is all Rahle’s fault!”
“Kii…”
When Tilura scolded Rahle, it reminded me of how Claire would scold her.
In any case, perhaps it would be best for Leo to join her, so that the message was clear.
“I will look after them! Since it was Rahle’s doing, I am responsible as well!”
That was what Tilura declared after they were finished lecturing Rahle.
At this point, Claire had heard about the situation from Sebastian. And so she was here as well.
“That won’t do, Tilura. You already have Rahle. You can’t take care of all of them.”
“Rahle will help me! Because it is also Rahle’s responsibility…”
“I understand how you feel. I felt the same when I heard about how Sherry was stealing from the kitchen.”
“Kyau…”
Sherry sounded apologetic as she was carried by Claire.
“But Tilura. You’ve been spending so much time playing with Rahle, Leo and Liza recently. And so you haven’t been able to focus on your studies. Or even your training.”
“That’s… Yes… It’s true that I was thinking more about playing with them…”
Tilura was about to argue back, but then gave up.
Studying aside, I did think she had been training properly with Leo and me… But perhaps she was not as focused as usual.
“Didn’t father tell you the same thing? How you cannot neglect your studies. And you must take your training seriously, no matter how hard.”
“Yes…”
“So why do you think you can take up something else? You cannot do things so half-heartedly. Not as the duke’s daughter or my sister!”
“…!”
Perhaps that was going too far?
It reminded me of when we were in the forest, right before finding Sherry. In any case, it was best to not make her angry.
Tilura looked like she was holding something in. But she eventually looked up and straight into her sister’s face.
“I won’t do it half-heartedly! My studies, training, Rahle, and the Cockatrices. I will take care of all of it!”
“Kii…”
Rahle sounded worried.
Hmm… It seemed like her studies and training alone were already a lot…
