A happy reunion
“Tha-that is Leo’s voice.”
“There is no doubt about it. But I can’t see… Ah, is that them?”
When I turned to the north side and squinted, I could see something moving that was reflecting the light.
While they were not in a carriage this time, giant wolves were running in a field.
And Rahle was flying up ahead.
“Wuff, wuff, wou!”
“Hey, Leo!”
They seemed to see us as well, and Leo began to bark loudly as she ran straight towards us.
I waved back and called Leo’s name.“Wuff!”
“Kyah!”
“Ah, mama is fast!”
“Oh… Claire, Liza. Are you alright?”
“Ye-yes… Mr. Takumi.”
“I’m fine, papa!”
After hearing me, Leo ran faster and moved ahead of the group. And then she stopped suddenly right in front of me.
Still, she somehow managed to not shake off Claire and Liza.
“Wuff…”
“Thank you, good Leo.”
“Thanks, mama!”
“Wuff. Wou… Wuff-wuff-wuff!”
“Oomph! Hey, Leo! Calm down!”
“Hehe. Leo was very sad after you left. So she cannot help but be happy now.”
No sooner had Liza and Claire climbed down, Leo started to lick my face excitedly.
I kind of felt as if I was about to be eaten… Still, I gave up on trying to stop her, and just waited for her to calm down again.
“Hah… Hah… Leo, that was a bit too much, you know?”
“Wou…”
In any case, I was also happy to see them after all of this time, so I was not angry.
“Phew…good. Leo. Were you being good?”
“Wuff!”
“I see, I see!”
As if to counter attack, and to console her, I threw my arms around Leo and petted her fur.
Some time after, when Leo was satisfied, I went over to Claire and Sebastian and bowed.
Behind them, Ms. Lyra and Nicholas were smiling.
“Papa! Me too!”
“Oh, Liza. I see you are doing well. Haha.”
“Yes. Mama and sister Lyra were with me all of the time!”
“I see. That’s a relief.”
Liza threw her arms around me and wagged her tails. Wait, tails?
“…Hey, Liza? What is…”
“Oh, I don’t know why, but it grew! Having two tails is great for keeping warm at night!”
“Uh… I see. That’s nice.”
Liza nodded happily. It seemed like having two tails was not a problem for her.
Previously, she would often bend her tail and hug it while sleeping on her side.
But now she could envelope herself from both sides, which I suppose was reassuring.
“Wuff?”
“Mr. Takumi. About Liza…”
“I was surprised, but…if it is not a problem for her…”
After that, Claire and Sebastian explained the situation to me.
But Leo continued to look puzzled…
