Chapter 885


    The woodcutter foreman had a strong personality


    I noticed that the foreman had a scar that went from his left sideburn down to his jaw. And he had piercing eyes.


    Still, while he was intimidating, it was nothing compared to Mr. Ekenhart.


    “Oh, I see that you are not fazed by my appearance. You have some nerve.”


    “Ye, Mr. Takumi is amazing!”


    “No...I wouldn’t say that...”


    Ms. Delia really had a habit of praising people that she liked... But now I felt pressure to not disappoint them.


    “Still, to see Delia become so friendly with others. The foreman must be anxious.”


    “Yes. His predecessor asked him to take care of her.”


    “Well, since this one looks promising?”


    The other woodcutters were looking at us and laughing.


    Regardless, after a short chat, we all left the village and headed for the forest.


    It was only about half an hour away, and the entrance was marked with tree stumps.


    Ms. Delia and I walked in the leads, while Nicholas was in the back, and the foreman and Phillip were in the center.


    “Mr. Takumi. I think we should be on our guard now.”


    “Do you sense something?”


    “No. But that...”


    “Footprints?”


    There seemed to be footprints on the ground. And they did not look human.


    Not only that, but there were four of them, and they led deeper into the forest...


    “Those are the footprints of an Audhumbla.”


    “I see...”


    They were about the same size as Leo’s paw prints. I thought back on the time she walked into the mansion after running around in the garden...


    That didn’t happen anymore, because her feet were wiped.


    But while Leo had adorable toe beans, this thing did not.


    Well, if the Audhumbla was like a cow, then I suppose I should call them hoof prints.
