Chapter 1019
It was best to tell them right before
When I told them about riding the fenrirs, most of them shuddered with surprise.
Only Ms. Chita was a little different… On the other hand, the servants that already worked at the mansion looked a little jealous.
“Hey, Chita. What are you saying? Don’t you see that he is basically condemning us to death! Nothing could be more horrible…”
“No, no. It’s nothing like that. As I said yesterday, the fenrirs will not attack you… You won’t get hurt or anything. It’s fine. I’ll be with you while riding on Leo.”
“But… Are you really sure, Mr. Takumi?”
Walter was exaggerating now, and so I had to protest.
Yes, there were hostile fenrirs out there. But these ones were friendly and would do them no harm…
After lunch, the fenrirs and Leo stood in a line outside.
The servants, Claire, Sebastian and Liza were all present as well. Even Tilura and Rahle were watching.
However, looking at the faces of the servants…I regretted my decision to tell them early. It had given them too much time to think.
“Wuff!
“Yes, thank you. Uh…some of you look a little pale.”
“W-we are fine. Though, some of us didn’t eat much…”
In fact, they all looked pale outside of Ms. Chita. Walter and even Alfred were no exception.
“Well, let’s proceed then… Of course, if you do feel unwell, please tell me. I don’t want to force anyone to do this.”
“…In that case…I am not feeling the right now, so I think I will…”
“No, you should participate, Walter. This can be your way of showing that you are sorry for being rude to Mr. Takumi when you first met.”
“What!”
“Haha…”
While Sebastian seemed pleased for his son to ride, he also seemed a little concerned about another matter. Tilura was going to be with us and ride on Rahle.
After hearing that we were going, she demanded to come too. And it was decided that Sebastian would accompany her.
The saddle had already been strapped to Rahle. Both Johanna and Phillip were standing nearby with dark expressions.
Phillip had not experienced it yet, but he had heard all about it from Johanna.
I felt a little bad, since this was all my idea.
“…So, is anything feeling too unwell to ride?”
“No, no… This will be a good opportunity to get used to the fenrirs.”
“Hehe. Alred. While it will be scary at first, you will understand soon enough. It is quite comfortable to ride them.”
Claire reassured him with a smile.
Indeed. Much like Leo, they were careful so that you did not shake too much, or be hit by too much wind. It should be more comfortable than a horse.
When heading to Bleiyu village, I had ridden behind Phillip. And it had been quite rough.
It probably helped that the fenrirs had a lot of soft fur as well.
“Alright then. Please mount the fenrirs one by one. Liza and I will be riding on leo.”
I could not just stand by and watch them. And so I would be riding as well.
Besides, Leo needed some exercise.
