I Almost Forgot Leo’s Breakfast
“Good morning.
Breakfast has been prepared.”
“Good morning.
Thank you.”
The next day, after waking up a little late, I quickly washed up and left the room I had slept in.
As the chief, Mr.
Hannes’s house was a little larger than anyone else’s, and so he had a spare room.
He did have a married son…Rosalie’s parents, but they lived somewhere else, and so it was currently just Mr.
Hannes and his wife who lived here.
Rosalie had left the village with Mr.
Hannes because she wanted to help her sick parents.
“This is delicious.”
“I am sure it is quite poor compared to what you eat at the duke’s mansion…”
“No, not at all.
It is just as good as the food over there.”
I was in the dining room and eating the breakfast that his wife had prepared.
While the food didn’t look as fancy as what we were served at the mansion, the taste itself was excellent.
I especially enjoyed the hot vegetable soup.
It was comforting to have after staying up so late the previous night.
“Good morning.
You’re up early.”
“Mr.
Hannes.
Good morning.
I actually just woke up, since I went to bed quite late…”
As I was eating my breakfast, Mr.
Hannes came out from a different room.
The sky was starting to get bright when I went to bed, so I only slept for a few hours.
That being said, it was already midday, so it was in no way an early rise.
…But then again, Mr.
Hannes and the villagers stayed up just as late, so I suppose I was early compared to them.
“Thank you…the food was delicious.”
“Not at all.
I just wish we could have served something better…”
After I finished eating, I thanked his wife once again.
While she was very modest, it really had been a good meal, and I was satisfied.
“Wou!”
“Hmm? Leo?”
I heard Leo barking outside, and so I went out of the house.
Leo was sitting there and wagging her tail.
“Good morning, Leo.
Did you sleep well?”
“Wuff.
Wuff.”
I petted Leo as part of our morning greeting.
Leo nodded and continued to wag her tail… I guess she did sleep well with the horses.
“Wuff? Wuff! Wuff!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
As I petted her, Leo moved her nose close to me and sniffed.
And then she started to bark accusingly.
What was it now…?
“Wuff.
Wuff-wuff.
…Kuuuun.”
“Ah…I see.
You want breakfast… Sorry…”
Apparently, she had smelled the food, and was protesting the fact that I had eaten without her.
As Leo had slept in the stable, she would not have eaten breakfast yet.
It wasn’t as if she could eat hay…
“Sorry, Mr.
Hannes.
Do you have anything that I could give to Leo for breakfast?”
“Oh, I didn’t realize… I’m very sorry, good Leo.
I will prepare something at once…”
“Wuff!”
From the door, I called to Mr.
Hannes.
After hearing about the food, Mr.
Hannes came out…and apologized to Leo with a bow.
Leo nodded as if to say…I’ll leave it to you then.
“Hey, Leo.
He’s being very kind to provide food.
So you shouldn’t act too self-important.
You need to say thank you.”
“Wuff… Wuff.
Wuff-wuff.”
“Good Leo… You do not need to bow to me!”
After admonishing her for getting carried away, Leo looked apologetic and bowed to Mr.
Hannes, and then barked to say ‘thank you.’
Mr.
Hannes was very alarmed by this reaction, but I didn’t want Leo to make a habit out of not thanking people.
“I’m afraid that it’s yesterday’s leftovers…but here.”
“Thank you.
Now, Leo.”
“Wuff.
Wuff-wuff!”
“She really does listen to what you say, Mr.
Takumi.
I didn’t really believe my husband’s words until now…”
“Leo is very smart.
She doesn’t attack people, and likes to play with children.”
Mr.
Hannes’s wife had brought out some leftover sausages that she heated up.
As it wasn’t as much as yesterday, some bread had been added.
Leo barked gratefully and then began to eat ravenously.
Mr.
Hannes and his wife watched with interest.
She admitted that she did not believe her husband when he told her about an obedient Silver Fenrir, but she believed it now.
Hardly anyone was afraid when they saw Leo here.
It really was a nice village.
“Chief! Please come over here!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Uh, it’s the person who accompanied the pharmacist yesterday…”
“…You mean Phillip?”
“Ah, pharmacist…perfect.
Can you come with us?”
“Ha…”
As I was watching Leo eat her sausages, one of the men from the village came running while calling out to Mr.
Hannes.
And it was while they talked that I realized he was talking about Phillip.
Apparently, something had happened to him.
“I’m sorry, but could you watch Leo? She can play with the children if they come by.”
“Yes, of course.
I’m sure that Rosalie will wake up soon.
And she will keep Leo company.”
“Thank you.
Leo, wait here for a while.”
“Wuff.
Guff.”
And so I left Leo at the house, and went with the villager to see Phillip.
Leo was still eating, and so merely nodded her head in acknowledgement.
That wasn’t very polite… But I suppose it was fine…
Still, what had happened to Phillip…?
…He seemed quite drunk yesterday.
Had he caused some kind of trouble?
