Chapter 194
To be honest, I wanted to decline .
The beastkin tribes trusted me .
It did not seem right to take advantage of that trust to gather information .
It was not as if we suspected any of them .
We suspected merchants and anyone else that may lurk around them .
However, it seemed unlikely that the beastkin would allow those they didn’t trust to get anywhere near them .
In other words, we were suspecting someone that the beastkin trusted .
“…I understand . I don’t want to do it, but I’ll try . ”
“I am sorry . ”
“No, it’s fine . ”
If there really was someone suspicious around them, then we could not overlook them .
There was no one else better for the job . I had to do it .
“Everyone is doing what they have to do . And so shall I . ”
It was the beastkin wolves and the Adventurers Guild that was dealing with the enemy base after the fight .
The privy council was also working hard in their investigation . As were the royal knights .
Philly was also busy with requests from the privy council .
All of the items that they could not examine were to be brought to her .
My apprentices, Milka and Luchila would help her .
I had to do what I could as well .
Eric said,
“It would be best not to tell Shia and Nia . ”
“Yeah, they will worry about it . No one needs to know but me . ”
Goran looked at me seriously .
“I’m sure you already know, but don’t tell Serulis about it . Got it?”
“…Yeah, I know . ”
She was the last person in the world who should be told . She clearly could not keep a secret .
It wasn’t that she was lose tongued, but she started to act strange .
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga looked a little nervous .
He was shaking in my clothes .
It was as if he was worried that he would leak the information .
“You shouldn’t worry about it, Lord Gerberga . ”
“Cluck . ”
I petted him gently and he cooed .
Lord Gerberga couldn’t even talk, so there was no way to get information from him .

“…Grrr…:
Grulf started to yawn .
When I looked towards him, he had a ‘are you done?’ expression as he started to lick me .
As he did so, I explained .
“No, we’re still talking . ”
“…Groof…”
Grulf looked like he was bored . He stopped licking me and put his jaw on my knee .
“By the way, Eric . These beastkin wolves live in tribes that are separate from each other, right?”
“I believe so . ”
“It would be easy enough to visit Shia’s tribe, but I would need an excuse to visit the others . ”
“…That’s true . Let’s think of something . ”
“No, wait . ”
“Hmm?”
I had a bad feeling .
Whatever Eric would think of, it would probably be bad .
He would probably establish a whole new office or something .
“I’ll think of something . Don’t worry about it . ”
“Really? You don’t have to be modest . ”
“No, it’s really fine . ”

I just had to give it some thought .
That night, everyone except for Eric stayed at my house .
The next morning, I spoke to Shia after Goran left .
“Would it be inconvenient if I went and visited your tribe, Shia?”
“It wouldn’t inconvenience us at all… But is there a reason?”
“No . But Danton had been a great help, so I thought I would like to say thank you . ”
“Oh, you really don’t have to worry about that . If anything, it is you that has been a great help . ”
As predicted, Shia was reserved .
“Well, that’s not all . The fight against the dark ones will only become worse now, you know?”
“That is true . ”
“I want to keep in close contact . So I think it would be best if I visited again . In fact, I feel like I should install a teleportation circle over there . ”
“I see . That way, you could visit whenever you liked . ”
“It would be great . Will you come too, Nia?”
“Yes . I will go!”
Serulis started hopping around and raising her hand .
“Me too! I want to go!’
“Groof! Groof!”
Grulf and Serulis started jumping . They were suddenly very happy .

“…”
Next to them, Tama was sitting politely .
I sometimes wished that Grulf would learn a thing or two from Tama .
However, it was difficult, due to Grulf’s age .
“Cluck-cluck! Cluck-cluck!”
Lord Gerberga clucked happily on Luchila’s lap .
And then he flew off and landed on my shoulder .
“Do you want to come too?”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
It sounded like he did .
“I was thinking about having you stay in the palace while I am away…”
“Cluck!”
Lord Gerberga pressed against my face .
It seemed like he really wanted to come with me .
“Alright, I will take you too . ”
“Cluck!”
“In that case, I will go too!”
Luchila decided that she would come as well .
