Chapter 152
Grulf had been running around wildly, but suddenly became very quiet .
He was now lying down next to me .
“…Grulf . Are you tired?”
“Grrr . ”
It was a good thing to play to your heart’s content .
But I wished he wouldn’t play so hard that he couldn’t even move afterward .
We still had to travel back to the mansion .
“Grulf . You have to think about saving energy to go back . ”
“Groof!”
He barked once and then stood up before putting both of his front paws on my shoulders .
“I’ll just tell you now, but that’s not happening . ”
“Groof?”
Grulf wagged his tail and tilted his head to the side in a puzzled expression .
“Serulis . Grulf’s tired now . We should head back . ”
“Yes . Grulf, it’s a race . ”
“Groof?”
Serulis dashed on ahead .
While this had come as a surprise, Grulf chased after her .
“Oh, so you can run . ”
I muttered as I jogged after them .
As Grulf was quite out of breath, he was a good match for Serulis .
When we arrived at the mansion, Shia and Tama greeted us .
“Welcome back!”
“Woof-woof!”
“Thank you . Where’s Milka and the others?”
“They’re still studying . ”
It was good that they were passionate about their studies . I would have to thank Philly later .
I prepared some water for Grulf and then asked Shia,
“Shia . Did you go to the Adventurer’s Guild?”
“Yes . But there were no urgent quests . ”
“We don’t know when we’ll be called to help at the water dragon settlement, so it’s hard to accept any quests now . ”
“That’s true . ”
Shia and Serulis were going to help in protecting the settlement .
“Groof . ”
“What is it, Grulf?”
After finishing his water, Grulf stood up on his hind legs and licked my face .
He was trying to tell me something .
“Do you want more water?”
“…Grrr . ”
“Are you hungry?”
“Groof!”
His tail began to wag very quickly .
“I see . Well, it is almost lunchtime . ”

As Milka was currently studying, I would have to prepare some food .
“Wait a little while . I’ll go and get you something . ”
“I’ll help you . ”
“Thanks . ”
“I will help you as well!”
“Thank you, Shia . ”
Tama and Grulf watched the house as we went to buy some food .
I wanted to buy something that was already made, but Serulis insisted on buying ingredients .
“This is a good opportunity! We should make something . ”
“I see . Well, I guess we could…”
Grulf was hungry, but he could wait a little longer .
And so we bought some ingredients and returned to the mansion .
“Groof!”
“Grulf, you’ll have to wait . ”
“Grrr…”
He was clearly disappointed . He had likely expected us to buy something he could eat immediately .
Next to him, Tama was sitting patiently .
“Now, let’s make some lunch!”
Serulis was very enthusiastic .
Shia and I helped her as she made the food .
I also made some for Lord Gerberga as well as Grulf and Tama .

Grulf paced back and forth in the room the whole time .
When the food was almost ready, and a delicious smell wafted through the house…
“Oh! I completely forgot about it!”
Milka came running in a panic .
“Did you finish your studies?”
“Yes . We finished just now . ”
And then she went to Serulis .
“Sister Serulis . I’m so sorry . ”
“Oh, don’t worry about it . ”
And then we all ate the food that Serulis had made .
The beasts also ate their food ravenously .
As the person who had been in charge of their food, I was very happy .
Grulf ate especially fast . It was probably because of how much exercise he got .
“Philly . So you were teaching them today? Thank you . ”
I said as we ate .
“Yes . I thought that we should get an early start!”
“And how were they?”
“Let me see… They were all quick to learn . I think they are fantastic students . ”
Milka, Nia and Luchila all looked embarrassed as Philly praised them .
“I’m very sorry that I forgot to prepare lunch . ”
“Don’t worry about that . Prioritize your studies . ”
“Really?”

“Yes . I’ll cook if I happen to be here . And if I’m not, you can go out and buy food after your lessons . ”
“I can go and buy the food with you!”
Philly offered . But she was being targeted by the dark ones .
I told her this and asked her to be careful .
“Gwoofff…”
I looked to the side and saw that Grulf was sleeping on his back .
I suppose he became sleepy after eating so much .
Serulis looked at him and smiled .
“He must have been so tired . ”
“Grulf’s still very young, after all . ”
If he were human, I would have put a blanket over him .
But he was a wolf, so it would probably be too hot .
“Cluck-cluck?”
“Gwooff . ”
Lord Gerberga tried to approach the sleeping Grulf, and so I picked him up .
“Let’s let him rest for a while . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga also closed his eyes sleepily .
Tama was also being petted by Philly and looked like he wanted to sleep .
Perhaps it was time for the animals to take a nap .
As time passed blissfully like this,
“I’m back!!”
Kathe’s loud voice suddenly rang from the front door .
