My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

I chose the servants

"Lastly…"

The next person I would call out would be the last one.

As they were the ones who remained, Aloysius, Gilbert, Emelia, Cheryl and Chita all looked tense.

And Walter…he seemed fine. As I had already talked to him about the future.

"Ms. Chita."

"Ye-yes!"

"I am thinking about having you help to take care of the fenrirs. Will that be alright?"

"Certainly! I would be glad to take care of such powerful and adorable creatures! Ah, of course, I will help with caring for you and the others too…"

She seemed quite happy about being chosen. And also a little embarrassed about her extreme reaction.

"Thank you, Ms. Chita. If you ever need help with them, just come to me or Leo. We have had little problems up until now…but you never know."

"Problems… I would never have any problems if I was allowed to care for Leo and the fenrirs…"

"Well, what if the fenrirs had a problem with you then?"

"WHAT!!? Ah, so-sorry. I forgot myself."

The fenrirs were watching us from a distance and wagging their tails. And so I was quite confident that they would be fine.

"Now…"

"Um…Mr. Takumi. Do you have a minute?"

Just as I was sighing now that it was all over, Ms. Cheryl raised her hand.

"What is it?"

"I don't mean to sound like I disagree with you… But I just want to know. Does this mean that I and the others were lacking as servants?"

Well, it was no surprise that one might think like that.

Of course, that was not how I viewed them at all.

I just chose people based on the situation, their abilities, and how they would get along with each other. They were from the duke's household, and would not lack for abilities.

"No, that's not it."

"Then why…"

Not just Cheryl, but the others were looking at me as well now.

They wanted to know the reason that they were not chosen.

"Indeed… Sebastian, can you handle the rest? I will talk to Ms. Cheryl and the others."

"Certainly. No, please come this way… Oh, are you coming too, good Leo?"

"Wuff!"

As the talk might take a while, I asked Sebastian to deal with the servants who had been chosen. Leo went too. She was sniffing Alfred and Jane's hands. Perhaps it was to remember the smell? 𝘙äN𝘖ВЕS

"First of all. I want to assure you that it is not because you all had a lack of ability."

"Really?"

"Yes. In the first place, that would be impossible, considering you were working at the main house. Ms. Cheryl."

"Ye-yes!"

"The people that I did not choose will be working in this house. And I wanted you…to look after the fenrirs here."

"Here? But won't they be going with you, Mr. Takumi?"

"It has not been decided yet… But I think they will be going back and forth a lot. Besides, there may be other fenrirs later."

Even if Leo and I traveled from Range village a lot, we would not be taking everyone with us.

And if the fenrirs really did help us with travel, then they would come to this mansion often.

"When I decided that you and Ms. Chita would help take care of the fenrirs, I thought that it would be best for one to stay here and the other to go to Range village."

"I see… I understand your reasoning now, Mr. Takumi. I promise to do my best to take care of the fenrirs."
