NOVEL NEXT Chapter 810
Leo could not hold back her excitement
As I got onto Leo, she wagged her tail excitedly.
“Wou!”
“Hey, Leo! That’s too fast!”
As soon as she took off, Leo ran fast enough to catch up with the others, and I was almost thrown right off. But I shouted and Leo frantically slowed down.
Thankfully, my training had helped. And I had a tight grip on Leo’s fur. It didn’t seem to hurt her. I suppose a human’s strength was still nothing.
“Wah! Mama and papa have joined us! Don’t lose, Feri!”
“You can do it, Feri!”
“Gu, gurr…!”
“Wou?”“Gur! Gur!”
Feri sounded like he was crying for mercy, knowing he had no chance of outrunning a Silver Fenrir.
I had gotten used to Leo’s speed now, and was able to keep my balance. As I sighed in relief, Leo seemed to bark at Feri provokingly.
“Gurru!”
“Woah! Fast!”
“Oohhh! But Liza, hold on tightly!”
“Wuff! Grau!”
“Hey, Leo! You two. Be careful!”
“Okay, papa!”
“Yes!”
While it wasn’t exactly a race, Feri picked up speed. Liza and Tilura were overjoyed, and held on tighter.
Still, Leo quickly caught up with them, and then she headed towards Fen an Riruru.
“Mr. Takumi! The fenrirs are so fast!”
“Indeed! While it’s good they can run faster than horses, it cannot always be this fast!”
“I agree! Ah, please be careful, Mr. Takumi!”
“Tell that to Leo!”
Leo was now running parallel with Riruru.
I had to shout loudly in order to talk with Claire.
When we finished talking, Leo started to run faster again, and so I had to hold on tightly.
“Wou!”
“Grau!? Gau, gau!”
“Kyuu!”
“Wuff!”
Leo barked at Riruru, which startled the fenrir. And then Sherry said something like a greeting.
After that, Leo left her and accelerated towards Fen, who was the fastest.
“Wou?”
“Leo. It’s a bit late to be worried about me… You want to go to Fen, right? Fine, I’ll hold on. Don’t worry.”
“Wou!”
“…Though, I might have something to say about it later.”
“Wou!? Kuuun… Grau!”
I wasn’t that worried about myself. But it would be dangerous if Feri was provoked into running too fast while carrying Liza and Tilura…
“Well, for now, you can run. Let’s go, Leo!”
“Wou!”
When I looked back, her tail was no longer wagging like before.
Her ears also seemed to droop a little. Perhaps it was too effective.
In any case, I patted Leo and gave her the signal. It was something we had practiced before, when going to the forest with Mr. Ekenhart.
Leo ran faster until she caught up with Fen, who had been quite far away.
Using the signal really made her enthusiastic again…
