My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 69

The Monsters Were Fighting

“…Huh…?

“What!?”

“Is this true, Mr. Takumi!?”

“However, we cannot sense anything…”

“Leo’s senses were very sharp to begin with. And then she ate the herbs.”

“So that means…”

“Her senses have sharpened even more. And so I think that she is able to detect far away things that even you cannot.”

“…I see.”

Still…there really were finrirs here then…

As we had been on the verge of giving up, the others were very surprised.

Ms. Claire and Sebastian had reacted the most to this.

And I could hardly blame them.

“Leo. Are the fenrirs attacking a monster?”

I had heard that they hunted in packs.

In that case, they likely traveled as a pack and attacked other monsters.

And though we might be safe as long as Leo was with us, it seemed unwise to carelessly go too close to them.

“Wuff-wuff… Gau-wuff-wuff!”

But Leo shook her head to my question.

It was the fenrirs who were being attacked by something?

But what monster could be in this forest that was stronger than fenrirs…

Orcs were no match for them. And Leo agreed.

“Ms. Claire, Sebastian. It seems like the fenrirs are being attacked. Are there monsters who are stronger than fenrirs in this forest?”

“A monster that attacks fenrirs…”

“I do believe that there are monsters that would attack fenrirs…at least, if there are many of them, and they are attacking a single fenrir… Perhaps a troll…”

“A troll… What kind of monster is that?”

“They are giants who are three meters tall. And they have such monstrous strength, that they can knock down trees with a single hand. And while it is said that they are weaker than fenrirs, if there a multiple trolls and only a single fenrir, then it may be a fair fight.”

“I see… Leo. What kind of monsters are attacking the fenrirs?”

“Wuff…gau-gau-gau.”

Five large monsters that walk on two legs… Yes, Sebastian was probably right, and they were trolls.

“I believe you are right, and they are trolls. Leo says that there are five of them.”

“I see…”

“Let’s go and help the fenrirs then!”

Ms. Claire had been silent up until now, but she suddenly shouted.

“But Lady Claire, there are five trolls. And we are not enough to go up against such an enemy!”

“But…!”

“Wuff!”

Just as Ms. Claire was about to answer to Sebastian’s protest, Leo interrupted them.

“Good Leo?”

“What is the matter?”

“Wuff-wuff… Gau-gau!”

Leo raised her paw as she had before.

And her claws were fully extended.

“Leo seems like she wants to fight.”

“Good Leo… However, five trolls are surely…”

“Wuff-wuff!”

That again… Does a strong enemy even exist for Leo?

“Uhh, Leo says that five trolls are just small fry. And it’s a simple job.”

“Even trolls…”

“Good Leo. Can you do it?”

“Wuff!”

As Ms. Claire made the request, Leo nodded firmly as if to say that we should leave it to her.

“Very well… Can you lead us to them, Good Leo?”

“Wuff!”

Leo nodded once again and then took her position right in front of Sebastian, and then she started to lead us.

After we walked for some time, the presences that only Leo had sensed, were now sensed by the rest of us.

“So these are the presences that Leo was talking about.”

“It looks like it…”

“This…is it a one-sided fight?”

One of them, likely the fenrir, was not moving much.

And it was surrounded by five monsters that were probably trolls. They seemed to be moving in and out around the fenrir over and over again.

“Apparently, the trolls are surrounding the fenrir and attacking it little by little.”

“…How horrible…”

“We must save it!”

“Yes, let’s hurry!”

Everyone felt sorry for the fenrir that was being attacked.

Was it because it was a lone creature that was surrounded by a group?

Or was it because they had become close to Leo, who was a Silver Fenrir?

“Leo. You go on ahead!”

“Gau!”

And so I had Leo run ahead of us.

She would definitely reach them faster if she went alone.

Leo barked once and then dashed off like the wind.

While I could no longer see her, my sharpened senses could tell where she was.

A large figure was moving towards the fenrir and trolls at an astonishing speed.

And before I knew it, she had reached them.

A second later, one of the trolls disappeared.

Leo must have killed it as soon as she arrived.

“We must hurry as well!”

“Yes!”

Said Ms. Claire, and everyone began to run.

And while the trees prevented us from running at top speed, it was still better than walking.

And Ms. Claire did not even care about the tree branches and plants that hit her as she ran.

After a few more minutes, we arrived at the scene where the fenrir was being attacked.

“Wuff!”

You’re late. Leo seemed to say as she turned to us and barked. Then she sat down.

When I scanned the area, I saw that it was a decent sized clearing.

The sun could be seen above us, and it was already starting to descend.

And on the ground surrounding Leo, were four bodies that must have been the trolls.

They were all slashed and burned.

Not only that, but there was even one that had been frozen with its arms raised.

Leo had done all of this.

As Sebastian had said, the trolls were large and looked to be three meters tall. And their thick arms held clubs.

I didn’t want to think about what damage they could inflict with those weapons.

…Of course, it hadn’t seemed to matter much for Leo.

Considering Leo’s speed, even if these clubs were the size of humans, the trolls wouldn’t have been able to land any blows.

Once we were sure that all of the trolls were dead, we caught our breath after running and then approached the sitting Leo.

However, Leo did not move from where she was.

Usually, Leo would come over when we moved towards her… I wonder what was the matter?

“Leo… What is it?”

“…Good Leo. Where is the fenrir?”

“Wuff…”
