Chapter 902


    A great presence approached


    “Mr. Takumi! It-it’s coming closer!”


    “Huh!? Uh, what should... Will it chase after us if it sees our backs?”


    “I don’t know... At the very least, I can sense that it does not want us to get away.”


    Ms. Delia was shaking even more now.


    I continued to move back very slowly. Next to me, Phillip looked quite pale.


    “If we can’t escape... Uh, what should we do? I could deal with an orc, but this is clearly different.”


    “Yes, it must be a large monster, like a troll...”


    Trolls would be very difficult for a human to fight... Even Ms. Delia, who could easily deal with orcs and the Audhumbla, was scared.


    It was clearly very dangerous.


    “...If it does attack, I will try to distract it. I do not know what we are facing, but I am still a guard of the duke. I can at least give you time to escape, Mr. Takumi.”


    “But then you, Phillip...”


    “I am a guard. It is my job to do this. Besides, I would feel bad for Lady Claire if anything were to happen to you. Besides, even if I get injured, you can use the Loe to heal me.”


    I understood that he felt it was his job, but...perhaps he also thought that I would not be that useful in a fight.


    Not only did it not attack, but it sat down and continued to stare.


    This was definitely not what I was expecting.


    “Is that fenrir looking at me? No, Ms. Delia?”


    “M-me-me?”


    “...It is not looking at me at all. So it must be Mr. Takumi or Ms. Delia.”


    “Phillip, please was Ms. Delia for me.”


    “M-Mr. Takumi!?”


    “Very well...”


    As I moved away, the fenrir’s gaze...


    “Yes, it is looking at me after all. Hmm...”


    “Mr. Takumi. You seem very calm now?”


    “Well, if this is what I think it is, then there is no danger.”


    I was starting to feel that it was not hostile. And that made me more calm.


    Of course, I still stayed on my guard, as I did not want to put the other two in danger.
