My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 356

Today’s Training Was Different

After Ms. Anne and Liza had finally become comfortable with each other, Milina and I worked together to finish the last of the medicine.

Liza also helped, and Ms. Anne would watch and cheer her on.

Though, as Leo was also close by, she still kept her distance…

As for Ms. Claire, she was relieved to see that Liza was doing well, and so she went back to speak with Mr. Ekenhart.

I suppose she had also wanted to monitor Ms. Anne, who had not been seen for a while.

Even though she thought of doing strange things, at least she was not hurting anyone. We were all relieved.

After the medicine was completed, we all rested again and drank some tea. And then it was announced that lunch was ready, and so we moved to the dining hall.

I asked Ms. Lyra and Milina to take the medicine to the kitchens for Ms. Helena.

And yet by the time that we arrived in the dining hall, Ms. Lyra was already waiting there… Were there secret passages that I wasn’t aware of?

“The food was delicious again.”

“Yes. We must be grateful of Ms. Helena. Liza really enjoys the meals.”

After everyone had gathered, and we finished eating lunch, we drank some tea and rested with Mr. Ekenhart.

Liza had eaten everything with a big smile, and then the dessert was served, and she would feed some to Leo and eat some herself.

Sweet food was still new to her, and just like Ms. Claire, Tilura and Ms. Anne, she liked it very much.

Ms. Anne still had her hair tied in bows, and she watched Liza eat with great interest.

Sebastian had been quite surprised when he saw Ms. Anne’s hair, but Mr. Ekenhart barely even noticed the difference.

After all, he didn’t care much about his own hair or beard.

Or maybe he was too busy thinking about other things.

“Now, it is time for Mr. Takumi and Tilura’s training. Today, it will not be magic, but swords.”

“Indeed. As for magic, Ms. Claire was able to teach me some of the basics yesterday. So I would like to go back to swords today.”

“Mmm. About that. There is something I have been thinking about for some time, after seeing the way that you move… I wanted to do it yesterday, before we decided to focus on magic.”

“Really? What is it?”

While I was still continuing my mental training, Mr. Ekenhart would not be here forever, and I wanted to train with him directly while I could.

Mr. Ekenhart nodded at my enthusiasm and explained that he had an idea.

I hoped it wasn’t something like before, where I would be thrown into actual combat…

“Yes… I will tell you the details once we are outside.”

“Father. I hope you are not thinking about anything strange?”

“Indeed, I am thinking of nothing of that sort! At least for now. …There is one thing that I will have to discuss with Sebastian later.”

Ms. Claire was just as suspicious as I was of her father.

But Mr. Ekenhart averted his eyes and denied it. However, while Ms. Claire didn’t hear the next thing he muttered under his breath, I did hear it.

Regardless, Ms. Claire did not look very convinced.

Something he had to discuss with Sebastian…

I didn’t know what he was talking about, but it couldn’t be too bad if it went through Sebastian… At least, I hoped so.

After all, Sebastian would sometimes do things for the fun of it… And he had also been involved the time I was made to fight in the store.

Well, I was getting anxious now. 

However, was Tilura involved as well?

But Tilura was still young, and surely they wouldn’t put her in any danger. Besides, she was his daughter, so he couldn’t be reckless.

I told myself this, even if I was still a little nervous about it.

“Well, in any case… It concerns your training, Mr. Takumi. …Sebastian.”

“Yes.”

“Bring that thing I mentioned…and the spare. Also, call Nicholas.”

“Certainly.”

“Nicholas?”

As Mr. Ekenharted sweated under Ms. Claire’s glaring eyes, he called out to Sebastian.

Sebastian bowed at his request and then left the room. What was that?

And to call Nicholas… The guards had never been involved with our training before.

They were surely busy with their own duties, and had no time to be teaching an amateur like me.

“Well, he has a little to do with this too, one could say. He will be fine as an example.”

“Example… What are you going to do?”

“You will find out when we go out into the garden. It is nothing strange, like Claire is thinking. Just think of it as a way of exploring your potential, Mr. Takumi.”

“I see. Very well.”

I didn’t know how Nicholas was related to this, but if it would help me become stronger, then I would go along with it.

After all, I did feel that I had improved after being in an actual battle, and perhaps it would help with my mental training as well.

Of course, I wasn’t too focused on becoming strong. But I had to fight orcs in Range village once… And so I wanted to train so that at the very least, people would not have to worry about me.
