Chapter 724
Rahle took a short trip home
“Kii! Kii!”
“Are you sure?”
It was shortly before dinner, and I heard Tilura talking with Rahle. There was a mixture of worry and sadness in her voice.
The reason for this was that we had encountered monsters on the way to Range village.
On the road, trolls had come out of the forest. A lot of monsters had grown restless because Leo was nearby.
And since Rahle lived in the mountain next to the forest, Rahle decided to go and see how things were doing, and possibly advise the monsters to not come out…
Apparently, Rahle been thinking about this idea since yesterday. Perhaps it wanted to be useful in ways other than just flying.
Normally, it would probably be better for Leo to go, since she was the cause of the restlessness in the forest. But Rahle said that it might cause even more chaos.
Tilura had also offered to accompany Rahle, but it was apparently too dangerous.Even though she could use a sword well enough to defeat ors, Rahle’s movements would be quite limited in the forest, and there was no guarantee that it would be able to protect her.
“Rahle. Thank you. Be careful, alright? Not only are you Tilura’s familiar, but you are like family to everyone here now. So you should run away if it becomes too dangerous.”
“Kii!”
Claire said from behind Tilura. She was clearly quite worried as well.
Upon hearing her words, Sebastian and the other servants nodded in agreement.
They really were kind.
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff! Wuff!”
“Kii…”
“Grau!”
“KiI!”
Leo also raised her voice encouragingly. Well, she said that if it came to it, she would blow away the monsters and the whole forest.
“Kii!”
“Yes, I will do my best as well, Rahle!”
Sometimes, Rahle was like a guardian for Tilura. Well, given the difference in age and size, it made sense.
“Kii! Kii!”
“Rahle! I’ll be waiting for your return!”
Rahle beat its wings and rose into the sky. And for a moment, it circled above our heads and cried.
Tilura waved as she shouted at it.
And then Rahle flew off towards the mountain in the north.
I didn’t know how long it would take, but Rahle had left once before. So there shouldn’t be any problem.
“Will Rahle be alright?”
“Tilura. Rahle just flew away a moment ago. You are worrying too much. Rahle is not so weak as to be defeated by a random monster.”
Claire said with exasperation as we ate dinner in the dining hall.
Recently, they had spent so much time together, so she already missed it.
“That’s true, but… I still feel lonely.”
“I understand how you feel. But Rahle is doing its best. So you must do the same.”
“I know…”
“Wuff?”
“Kyau?”
“I’m here too, sister Tilura?”
“Ahaha! With Leo, Sherry and Liza, I cannot be too lonely!”
Tilura said with a laugh. She would surely be fine… Instead of trying to persuade her with logic it was best for her to be with friends in such times.
“…I am here too… Well, I suppose they are a better time than a noisy older sister.”
“Yes. Friends are often better than family when it comes to encouragement. Especially at that age. Still, I’m sure that your presence is important as well.”
“Ah… You were listening, Mr. Takumi. Sorry you had to see that…”
“Not at all. I know you were just trying to encourage Tilura.”
