My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 349

I told them that Liza could talk with Leo

“Papa. Are you finished talking?”

“Aye, I’m finished. You were good to wait there quietly.”

“Ehehe…”

She must have sensed that we were finished talking, as Liza got up and moved away from Leo and walked towards me.

And while I doubted she understood anything, she did not look bored and had waited quietly. And so I patted her head and praised her.

Thanks to Leo’s advice, Liza didn’t mind being patted and laughed happily.

“…Mr. Takumi. So you are able to do that now?”

“Well, Liza did not know about any beastkin rules. And so as long as people aren’t rudely yanking on her tail, it should be fine. Right?”

“Yes. As long as it’s gentle!”

“Though, you have to do it right…”

Upon seeing me pat Liza on the head, Ms. Claire asked me about the request she made yesterday.

I suppose she wanted to pat Liza on the head as well…

In any case, she and the maids seemed to brighten up when I told them it would be fine.

Ms. Claire let out a sigh of relief.

And so I explained to them what Leo had told me.

And I also asked if one of the maids could occasionally massage her tail when it gets sore.

“Ah, that’s right. There is something else…”

“What is it?”

I remembered that there was something else concerning Liza that I wanted to tell them.

“About Liza. Apparently, she can communicate with Leo. She can understand what she is saying very clearly.”

“Little Liza…”

“Hmm… Is it because she is a beastkin?“

“That seems to be the case. I have heard that some beastkin can talk with beast-type monsters.”

Ms. Claire looked quite surprised, but Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian were nodding as if it made sense to them.

“So…it’s just some, and not all of them?”

“Well, I do not know the details about that. There are hardly any beastkin in these territories. And so I cannot confirm anything. However, I heard that through talking with monsters, they are able to make them their familiars.”

“I suppose since they can talk to them, it’s much easier to make them familiars than it is for humans.  Of course, only if they are beast-types. Of course, it is just a rumor, and one of the reasons that some people fear beastkin.”

As there was not much information, nothing could be confirmed yet. But at least we knew that Liza was not unique in her ability to talk with beasts.

Being able to talk with monsters also meant that it was easier to coexist.

However, this made some humans think that beastkin were like monsters, which added to their fear.

It was not surprising that such negative rumors would be spread during war time, but it was sad that Liza was still being persecuted because of it.

“Sherry, come over here.”

“Kyau? Kyau!”

“And you too, Liza.”

“What is it, sister Claire?”

After hearing what Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian had said, Ms. Claire then called Sherry over.

Sherry looked quite sleepy, but she immediately reacted and raised her head when she heard Ms. Claire’s voice. And after looking puzzled for a moment, she tottered over to Ms. Claire.

And then after picking Sherry up and placing her on her lap, she gestured for Liza to come over as well.

Liza’s tail wagged slowly as she walked towards Ms. Claire.

She seemed happy, which showed that she was quite fond of her now.

“Liza. Can you understand what Sherry is saying?”

“Yes, I can.”

“I see. In that case… Sherry?”

“Kyau?”

“What did Sherry say just now?”

“She is asking for food.”

“Kyau.”

Apparently, Ms. Claire wanted to test to see if Liza could understand Sherry.

It seemed obvious enough to me, what Sherry wanted. Still, Ms. Claire asked Liza to tell her what Sherry had said.

Liza answered confidently, and Sherry nodded.

Hmm… I had thought that Sherry was asking about why Ms. Claire had called her… I suppose I was wrong then.

I still have a ways to go…

Besides, didn’t Sherry just eat?

“I see. Now, Sherry. Tell me how you feel about me, Mr. Taumi and Liza.”

“Kyau… Kyau! Kyu…kyau!”

Ms. Claire nodded at Liza before turning to Sherry and asking the next question.

Upon hearing the words, Sherry barked once at Ms. Claire, and then she was about to turn to me, but paused once as she looked at Leo.

Then she barked a little weakly and then louder after looking at Liza.

So, what had she said this time…? It sounded like she had called Ms. Claire her master.

But I didn’t quite catch what she said about Liza and me.
