The herbs were surprisingly effective
“
!”
The moment that the herb touched the fenrir, it unleashed a faint light, and the wounds began to close as if time was being rewound.
And once the light faded away, so did the herb that was in my hand. Even the fenrir’s broken leg was now pointing in the right direction.
“
Oh, Mr. Takumi!”
“Wuff! Wuff! Wou!”
Ms. Claire’s eyes welled up with tears as she covered her mouth with her hand. Leo let out a bark of joy.
“To think that there is a herb that can heal fatal wounds
”
Sebastian had an expression of astonishment as he watched the healed fenrir.
Well, I had not known if it would work well either. And so I was also surprised at how effective it was.
“Mr. Takumi, this is amazing!”
“Wuff! Wuff!”
Ms. Claire and Leo were filled with uncontainable excitement.
“
Hahaha. It just happened to go well. I was not at all sure that I would be able to make something like this.”
“Weed Cultivation
 What a wonderful ability!”
“Wuff!”
Ms. Claire and Leo were looking at me with beaming expressions.
It was becoming a little embarrassing

“Is it just me, or did we witness something incredible?”
“Yes, we did, Phillip. A lethal wound was healed in an instant
 That’s not an everyday occurrence, I think.”
Phillip and Nicholas had been watching at a short distance away, but they could also not hide their reaction.
“While the wounds are healed
I don’t think its energy has recovered.”
Sebastian was the first to calm down, and he took out a small blanket from his bag and wrapped it around the fenrir.
Yes. This was no time to be talking about the herb’s effect. The fenrir was more important.
“We’ll have to keep it warm.”
“Yes.”
“Sebastian
 Can I touch it
?”
“Lady Claire. This fenrir was badly wounded and on the brink of death. Surely it should be left alone for now.”
“
I see.”
Ms. Claire sounded a little disappointed.
Did she want to touch it so badly
?
“Wuff.”
“Oh, Leo. Thank you.”
Leo put her face near Ms. Claire and allowed herself to be petted instead.
Ms. Claire smiled with satisfaction.
“However, this fenrir
judging from its size, it must be a pup.”
“Is that so?”
As it looked like a medium-sized dog, I had thought that it would be older.
It was small compared to Leo, but that was just because Leo was too big.
And since I had heard that fenrirs were smaller, I figured that maybe this was close to their average size.
“So a fenrir pup was separated from its pack and then got attacked by trolls.”
“Yes.”
“Hmm? Speaking of which, what happened to the trolls that Leo defeated?”
“Lady Claire, we took care of them while you were tending to the fenrir.”
“While we couldn’t move the one that was frozen, we dug a whole and buried the ones that were cut up by Leo.”
So that’s what they had been doing.
Well, no one would want to see the mutilated corpses of monsters lying around the forest.
Though, the one that was now an ice statue was still standing there

I
wonder how long it will take to melt

“It is sleeping very peacefully.”
Said Ms. Claire as she watched the healed fenrir.
“Indeed.”
As Leo lay on the ground as if to envelope the fenrir with her fur, she brought her face close to it.
A short while ago, it had been breathing weakly as if in pain, but now that the bleeding had stopped and the wounds closed, its breathing had become calm.
“It will take a while for its expended energy to return.”
“We should let it rest then.”
While I had used a herb that healed wounds, it didn’t have the effect of recovering energy.

But perhaps this was enough. I didn’t want to have to force-feed it grass while it was trying to go to sleep.
“Wou
Wou-wou.”
“Hmm? What is it, Leo?”
Now that we were relieved that the fenrir was healed, we were just about to leave.
We had to return to camp soon, as it was getting quite late.
Ms. Claire and Sebastian were looking up at the sky to see the position of the sun.
However Leo barked at us to stop.
“Wou-wou
wuff.”
After barking in our direction, she looked down at the fenrir she was enveloping, and moved her head as if to pick up the fenrir with her jaw.
“
You want to take it with you?”
“Wuff-wuff.”
Leo nodded.
Take it
 But could fenrirs be around humans?
“
Ms. Claire. Sebastian.”
“What is it?”
“What is wrong?”
They turned away from the sky and looked towards me.
And so I told them that Leo wanted to bring the fenrir back with us.
“Good Leo
the fenrir
”
“
I approve of it.”
“Lady Claire. We are able to get close to this fenrir now, because it is asleep. But surely you understand that they are vicious monsters? Who knows what will happen when it wakes up
”
“But
 If we leave it here, it may be attacked by monsters again.”
“That is
true, but
”
“Wuff-wuff. Wuff-wou-wou!”
Leo barked as if in support of Ms. Claire’s decision.
And then she would gesture, raising her paws and moving her head. She was saying that it was safe to take the fenrir. And while she argued her case, she was careful to not wake the fenrir that slept in front of her.
While it was nothing new, a dog using gestures was so very
 Well, she was a Silver Fenrir.
But sometimes, Leo’s gestures were very comical
 It was with such thoughts in my head that I told Sebastian that I too agreed that we should take the fenrir with us.
