My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 758

I explained about Liza’s situation

I told Ms. Delia why Liza called us papa and mama.

While Mr. Reyndorf had been the first one to meet her, as he was quite elderly, she called him grandpa.

Or perhaps he told her to call him that.

In any case, I suppose Liza was looking for some kind of parental figures.

I also told Ms. Delia about how she was treated in the slums and why we took her back.

“She experienced such things… But she seemed so cheerful when I saw her earlier…”

“Well, I don’t think she forgot all of that. But right now, she is surrounded by kind people, and is able to act like a child should at that age again.”

When we first met her, she had done her best to try and speak politely. It seemed like a defense mechanism, where she wanted to avoid being made a target, or have people dislike her.

“And Tilura seems to see Liza like a younger sister.”

“Well…I now understand why she would want to call you papa, Mr. Takumi…”

“It was quite a surprise when she did that.”

“I suppose she must have felt some kind of familial warmth. Beastkin have strong senses when it comes to such things.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes. Though, I don’t know any other beastkin… But as for myself, I can often tell if a person is just being kind on the surface… Or if someone is genuinely concerned… Of course, not everything is always completely right. But I did feel my senses were sharper than most people.”

Well, that did make sense to me.

They were different from humans in some ways. And watching Liza and Leo, I often felt they were doing things based on senses instead of thinking.

Though, I suppose Leo was a special case.

“So perhaps Liza experienced the kindness of Mr. Takumi and Leo, and then sensed something. That you two would love her…”

“Well…do you really think so?”

“Hehe. You look embarrassed?”

Well, it was a little different when it was coming from Claire.

She was laughing at my reaction. Was I really so easy to read? Well, quite some time has now passed since we met. So perhaps it was no surprise.

Though, the idea that she was observing me this carefully made me feel even more embarrassed.

“Mo-more importantly… How was it for you, Ms. Delia? In the village…”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Yes, I was found in the forest. But I do not have a sad past at all. If anything, I had a good childhood.”

I changed the subject in order to hide my embarrassment.

After I said it, it occurred to me that I might accidentally cause her to remember something that she did not want to.

However, Ms. Delia did not mind. And she seemed quite happy as she explained. It did look like she only had good memories.

“I was picked up in the corner of the fenrir forest. However, it seemed to be shortly after I was born, and so I have no memory of that. I just know that the elders of the village took care of me, and played with the children. All of the adults worked until sundown. So it was just the old men and women, as well as the children who were around…”
