My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Things became busy in the mansion

“Without you, Mr. Takumi…we should not have been able to find the fenrir…Sherry. Also, it was because of your Weed Cultivation that we were able to save her from certain death.”

“Hmm… Yes, Sherry was helped with Weed Cultivation… Though, I had no confidence in it at the time… I was just hopeful.”

While being thanked by a beautiful woman like Ms. Claire was very pleasant…it was also a little embarrassing.

Perhaps it was something I must get used to…

That being said, how was one to get used to something like that?

In any case, after discussing many things, such as the sales agreements, the familiar contract and other things, the day finally ended.

As I had slept for two whole days, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to sleep. But after leaving the drawing room and taking a bath, I returned to my room with Leo and got into bed. And I fell asleep quite quickly.

Leo also put just half of her body on the bed so that I could rest on her as if she was a pillow.

Thank you, Leo.

I have a feeling that I’ll have sweet dreams tonight.

————-

The next morning, I woke up and looked out the window. The weather was nice, and the sun’s rays were almost blinding.

I got out of bed and stretched my limbs while standing up.

Yes, I had a good night’s sleep thanks to having Leo’s soft fur as a pillow.

Though, I don’t remember if I had any good dreams.

With dreams, sometimes you remembered them, and sometimes you didn’t.

And even if you do remember them at first, you would forget about them quickly. Sometimes, you’re not sure if you even saw it in the first place.

Well, some people say that everyone dreams when they are sleeping. And there are evaluations based on how you remember them and what you dreamed about, but I didn’t know the details.

It was with such nonsensical thoughts that I finished getting ready.

Leo woke up around the time that I was washing my face. She pushed her paws out and stretched as she always did, and then watched me get ready while wagging her tail slowly.

I was glad to see that she was in a good mood.

When I was finished, I left the room, thinking that breakfast would be ready soon.

“I’ve become quite accustomed to living in this mansion now.”

At first, I had found it quite awkward to live in such a large place.

And Ms. Lyra would often have to guide me from room to room.

It wasn’t that I had now memorized the layout of the whole house, but I could go to all the places I was a regular at just fine.

And there were not many places in the house that I had any business in.

And so I walked down the now familiar hallways and headed towards the dining hall. And then I saw that maids were rushing around busily near the entrance hall.

I had to pass through it when going to the dining hall, and so I noticed it.

“Is something happening today?”

I could not think of a reason for the maids to be rushing about like that.

And though I thought it was strange, I continued to walk to the dining hall with Leo.

I then knocked on the door and waited for a reply from the other side.

“Come in.”

After being given permission, I opened the door and stepped inside.

Ms. Claire was already sitting at the table, and Sebastian was standing behind her.

Ms. Lyra was standing next to the door I had come through…but Ms. Gelda wasn’t here. Perhaps she was busy?

Still, I greeted the others.

“Good morning. Ms. Claire, Sebastian, Lyra.”

“Good morning, Mr. Takumi.”

“Good morning, Sir.”

“Good morning, Sir.”

After greeting them, I went over to my usual place at the table and sat down.

Leo also sat down next to me as usual.

“I see that Tilura isn’t with us today. Did something happen?”

Now that I thought about, Tilura hadn’t woke me up today.

She was usually the first one to come to my room in order to see Leo.

“She is still sleeping. Gelda just went to wake her up. Really… It’s because she stayed up late playing with Sherry…”

“Hahaha. I see.”

Apparently, Tilura had continued to play with Sherry after I left.

I wondered where Sherry was, and then noticed the white mass that was rolled up by Ms. Claire’s chair.

Apparently, Sherry was also still sleepy after having stayed up late.

“Ms. Claire, I would like to continue with my tests in your back garden again today. Is that alright?”

“…About that… Mr. Takumi, something important is happening today.”

As we had decided on this sales agreement, I wanted to get to work, and also continue my research. But it seemed that something else was happening.

She looked rather serious. What could be the matter?

“I’m sure you got a glimpse of it when coming to this dining hall, Mr. Takumi?”

“Uh, yes. I did. The maids were rushing around frantically.”

So Ms. Claire was aware of what was happening at the entrance hall.

Well, she was the master of this mansion, so it was no wonder.

“Those maids are preparing to greet someone who is arriving today.”

“Today? Is it an important guest?”

It must be a very important person for the maids to look so frantic.

…Perhaps I should stay in my room then… I did not want to do something unpardonably rude towards any important guests of the duke…

I still did not know anything about the manners of the upper class in this world.

“It is someone who is very important for you as well, Mr. Takumi. And not really a guest, eigher.”

“Not a guest… Important to me… Who is it?”

As I had only just come to this world, I had no acquaintances outside of this mansion.

Well, there were the people from the shops, and the ones who petted Leo in the town of Ractos, but they were definitely not people who were important to me.
