Chapter 310

The Beastkin’s Mother Was Not Human

“Uhh… Mama!”

“Wuff!?”

“Oh…so that’s who it is… Ahahaha!”

“…I can’t believe that it’s good Leo… I am defeated…but it cannot be helped.”

“Tsk! Yes, one cannot compete against a Silver Fenrir…”

“That makes sense. Leo is so nice!”

“Leo…”

After thinking about it for a moment, Liza got off of her chair and grabbed onto Leo, who was eating her food.

As she was not one to ever enter our conversations, Leo was quite startled by this.

Mr. Ekenhart just burst into laughter, and Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne seemed disappointed.

But Tilura was nodding understandingly.

Well, Leo was big, female and protective over Liza on top of being very kind.

And perhaps being beastkin meant that she didn’t see Leo as being so different.

Leo saw Sherry as a younger sister, and was also good with children, so it might be appropriate.

But then again, I think Leo is younger than Liza…

Liza was probably around seven years old, and I rescued Leo about five years ago.

And she was close to being a newborn, so she must be younger than Liza.

Well, I suppose in dog years, or Silver Fenrir years, she was an adult…

“Do you like Leo?”

“Yes! She is kind and warm!”

“I see. Well, I guess Leo is your mama then.”

“Wuff? …Wuff.”

It was true that Leo was kind, and she was definitely warm when you were enveloped by that fur.

Liza likely didn’t have anyone she could cling onto like that before, and she had the biggest smile now.

But Leo didn’t seem too convinced. However, after seeing Liza’s smile, she barked as if to say it could not be helped then.

“So Mr. Takumi is the papa and Leo is the mama. What an amusing result.”

“Father… I do not find it very amusing.”

“…How can I break this apart…”

“…Kyau? Kyau!”

“Wuff-wuff.”

“Kyau.”

“Ahahaha!”

Mr. Ekenhart and the others were talking about something.

Aside from that, Sherry, who had been eating quietly up until now, suddenly got down from her seat and approached Leo.

I suppose she wanted to see what was happening.

After barking questioningly, Leo seemed to explain the situation to her.

Sherry looked happy, and then licked Liza’s face as if welcoming her to the family.

Liza looked surprised at first, but then started to laugh.

They would have no trouble becoming friends.

The servants in the dining hall were also watching them and smiling.

“Excuse me. Mr. Takumi, the medicinal wine is ready.”

After some time had passed, we finished eating, and then Ms. Helena entered the room.

The medicinal wine… Yes, we were supposed to taste it today.

“Thank you. Mr. Ekenhart?”

“Mmm. Yes, let us all taste it here then. …Of course, Claire might want to be careful…”

“I know, father. I will not repeat what happened yesterday.”

“…I would certainly hope so…”

When I turned to Mr. Ekenhart, he decided that we should all drink it here.

Ms. Claire looked a little embarrassed, and so Ms. Anne took the opportunity to glare at her accusingly.

Ms. Claire was usually the one accusing Anne, so this was a rare occasion where the tables were turned.

Well, she had drunk so much yesterday…

“Then I shall serve it right away.”

“Yes.”

Sebastian and Ms. Lyra then helped her serve the wine in front of everyone.

A small amount was poured in each glass. It was a dark color that was almost brown. It was not clear like the previous wine.

I suppose mixing in the medicine would change it this much.

“It is a lot less than yesterday. And it is not clear…”

“As we did not have a lot of medicine, we could only serve a little right now.”

“Yes, it depends on how hard Milina and I can work.”

“Indeed. And it also lost its clarity when mixing in the medicine. The color was also changed, which is one of the medicine’s effects, I believe.”

“I see… And what about the taste?”

“As Mr. Takumi was absent, we cooks tasted a small amount of it. …And while the taste is a little distinct, it should not be a problem.”

So they had tasted the wine while I was gone.

I felt a little bad, as it was probably my responsibility.

That being said, since they had made the other wine first and tasted it, I trusted their judgment.

And now I was curious to try it for myself.

I also wanted to know if it was effective.

Of course, when it came to Tilura, Liza, Leo and Sherry, they were given some grape juice as usual.

Liza had drunk it before, and knew it was delicious. So she smiled broadly when she saw the glass placed in front of her.

“Now, let us drink.”

“Yes.”

“Very well.”

“Indeed.”

At Mr. Ekenhart’s command, everyone picked up their glass and tipped it into their mouths.

…The smell…was very faint… Less so than the previous wine.

Surely there was no need to brace myself then. And so I took a sip of it.

“…I see.”

“I understand what you are saying, Helena. It does taste a little odd.”

“I do not care for this one at all. The wine we had yesterday was much more delicious.”

“…It isn’t bad at first…but the after taste…”

Everyone put the glasses back on the table.

I understood what they all meant and nodded in agreement.

Ms. Anne liked it the least, and she was scowling.

I didn’t think it was quite that bad, but it was hard to not notice the taste when compared to the other wine.
