Chapter 207
Grulf and Lord Gerberga’s Walk
I called to Lord Gerberga .
“Do you want to come too?”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga clucked and jumped off of Luchila’s shoulder .
“We’ll go with you!”
“Me-me too!”
Shia, Serulis, Nia and the children all wanted to come .
“You’re all awfully energetic, considering you have been training . ”
“Yes!”
The kids replied happily . Their energy was admirable, but it was also important to rest .
And so I ordered Shia, Serulis and the children to rest .
And then I went for a walk with Grulf and Lord Gerberga .
“Grulf . You can run as much as you want . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf dashed forward at an incredible speed .
I felt like he was getting faster and faster .
He was really growing .
One of the reasons I had left the children was because I wanted to let Grulf run like this .
The children were fast, but they would not be able to keep up with him .
“He’s so fast now . ”
I muttered to myself . Then Grulf slowed down and looked at me .
“Grr?”
“You can run faster . Give it all you got . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf ran happily .
I chased after him .
“Cluck-cluck!”
Lord Gerberga clung desperately to my shoulder as if to defy the oncoming wind .
It was a good exercise for Lord Gerberga as well .
After running for some time, Grulf began to walk .
“Have you had enough then?”
“Hah-hah-hahhh…”
Grulf’s tongue stuck out as he panted .
He was tired from so much running .
“Well, have some water . ”
“Guff-guff-gufff…”
“Cluck-uk-uk…”
I pulled out a bowl and some water from the magic bag and gave it to him .
Grulf started to drink the water at an incredible speed . Lord Gerberga also drank it .
Grulf was drinking from the edge of the bowl, perhaps out of respect for Lord Gerberga .

When they were finished, I picked up Lord Gerberga .
“You can rest in my clothes if you are tired . ”
“Cluck . ”
And so he rested inside of my jacket .
And then he stuck his head out . Now he would not get tired .
I petted Lord Gerberga’s head . His crest was jelly-like and felt nice .
Grulf started to walk again after resting . He was on patrol mode .
He would occasionally mark his territory .
“You don’t raise your leg, huh?”
“Grrr?”
Grulf was still a puppy, so perhaps that was why .
Either that, or he was showing respect to me, since I was the boss of the pack .
“Grulf, you don’t need to care about that . ”
“Grr?”
“I don’t have any intention of marking my territory . ”
I wouldn’t get angry if he lifted his leg . I wasn’t a rival or anything .
But Grulf did not look like he understood me .
He would run and walk as we continued on .
I occasionally gave him some water or treats .
And then after an hour, we returned to Danton’s mansion .
Luchila came just as I was giving Grulf and Lord Gerberga some water again .

She was running happily .
“Welcome back!”
“Oh, Luchila . We’re back . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf raised his head and sniffed at her .
Luchila smiled and petted him with her left hand .
Then she squatted and petted Lord Gerberga with her right hand .
“Welcome back, Lord Gerberga . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga raised his head and then jumped onto Luchila’s shoulder .
“Have you had enough water?”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga buried his head in Luchila’s hair .
He was lightly pecking on her ear . What a baby .
“He seems to have had fun . ”
“Cluck!”
“Mister Locke . Thank you . ”
“I was taking Grulf out anyway . And I enjoyed it as well . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga turned around and bowed as if to say thank you as well .

And so I petted him on the head .
“Lord Gerberga, you are welcome to join us any time . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
As I stared fondly at Lord Gerberga, Luchila seemed to remember something and said,
“Oh, that’s right . Miss Kathe has returned . ”
“That was very quick . ”
“And she brought a guest with her . ”
Kathe had gone to the water dragon settlement .
She was going to ask them to teach me about barriers .
So the guest was probably one of the water dragons .
“Hmm . A guest . ”
“Yes . Someone I have never met before . ”
In that case, it was probably Leea or Morris .
And since they were in the mansion, they must be in human form .
So they were either royals or someone close .
While Danton’s house was big, it wasn’t big enough to fit a water dragon inside .
“I wonder who it is . I should know them if it is a water dragon…”
I visited the settlement almost every day for a while .
So I knew all of them .
And so Luchila, Grulf, Lord Gerberga and I all went inside .
Then we went to the room where Kathe and the guest were waiting .
