My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 749

I asked about the woman who I was curious about

“Hmm…”

“Is there something you are wondering about?”

Number 38… When tripping, I had thought that she hit her leg against the chair at first, but there was no sound, so it was probably not the case. Regardless, I was glad that she was not hurt.

“The woman who tripped in front of the building… I saw her when she was leaving, and she almost tripped again.”

“Indeed. But she seemed very composed while asking questions, so I do not think she is like Ms. Gelda… But you never know with people.”

“Yes. And I couldn’t help but be curious…”

“Oh?”

“Don’t look at me like that…I don’t mean it in any strange way.”

Why did Sebastian always say such things… Perhaps it was because of what Number 9 said earlier.

In any case, that was not what I meant at all.

“No. There isn’t really any reason that I can think of… Excuse me. Do you think it would be possible to call her back?”

“It is possible. Hmm… Ms. Deria. You. Go and call Ms. Deria. She was the one with the hat.”

“Certainly…”

Sebastian looked at the list and had someone call her back.

There was almost something familiar about her. Regardless, I waited for the butler to return with her.

“Excuse me…”

“Mr. Takumi. Here is the lady from earlier.”

“Thank you.”

After some time, the two returned.

And I had the same strange feeling. Like there was something odd about the way she walked.

“Umm… Did I do something wrong…?”

Apparently, Ms. Deria was worried that she was in trouble. She was holding her hat and looked at us as if frightened.

“No, it is nothing like that. I was just curious about something… Please don’t be alarmed.”

“I-I see… Oh…what is it that you were curious about?”

“Well, please sit down for now, and then we can talk.”

“Yes…”

I also moved back to my seat.

I had been observing her carefully, and was starting to understand what it was that seemed strange about her…

“So…Ms. Deria. You are not from this town…”

“Uh, yes. I am from Vlayu village. It is near a forest by the main road that is east of Ractos.”

“Vlayu village…”

“Mr. Takumi. It is a village close to Ractos. The population is smaller than Range village, and they make a living through selling crops and wood.”

Hmm. A farming and forestry village then.

I nodded at Sebastian and tried to imagine what it was like.

If it was to the south and close to the forest…it must be the edge of the fenrir forest. Perhaps we could reach it if we traveled southeast…

“And that is why you were worried earlier, about the way that people would see you?”

“Many small villages are independent, and do now welcome outsiders… Or so I am told. My village was not like that…otherwise, they would not have raised me.”

“So you were not originally from there?”

“Uh, well…I am from there. I was found by a lumberjack in the village. I was raised there. But as for where my parents are from…I do not know.”

“Ah, I didn’t mean to pry to that degree. Sebastian, are such things common in this area?”

“It is one of the reasons that the orphanage is full. Ractos is on the road that leads to the royal capital. And there is a lot of trade conducted here. And so many people come…and sometimes leave their children for various reasons.”
