“I am Sirius-sama’s attendant. I will follow you anywhere.” (Emilia)
“And I am Aniki’s sword! Although the opponent is Hundred Wolves that Tou-chan told me about, if it attacks Aniki, I…” (Reus)
“All of us are the same!” (Reese)
While smiling wryly to the disciples who didn’t want to distance themselves away, I approached Hundred Wolves once more and we came over to one step before the spring. As I expected, it raised its face to look at us after we took few steps closer, the wolf still remained the same. It’s not vigilant and there wasn’t any bloodlust, it just looked at us with a dim golden eyes.
“Whatever happens never put down your guard. Doesn’t it recognize human as an enemy?” (Sirius)
“It looks more amazing when you see it closer. This place is also beautiful but if it’s compared to the wolf, it seems overshadowed.” (Reese)
“N-nice to meet you Hundred Wolves -sama! I am Sirius-sama’s attendant and my name is Emilia!” (Emilia)
“I am same with her and my name is Reus!” (Reus)
I was surprised when those two suddenly began to introduce themselves but what surprised me more was the Hundred Wolves replied with small howl.
“Y-yes! Nice to meet you too!” (Emilia)
“Do you understand that!? Or perhaps I should say, does the wolf understand our words?” (Sirius?)
“I somehow understand it. It said nice to meet you.” (Emilia)
“I understand its speech. Furthermore, it has no name so we can call it whatever we like… that’s what it said, Aniki.” (Reus)
“Reus seems to understand more clearly than Emilia.” (Reese)
Why there is difference? When I think about the difference between those two, it is gender… and maybe because Reus can transform? The reason may be because Reus is closer to wolf.
Whatever the reason is, it seems this won’t be a sudden battle since a conversation is possible. Whether it is a male or female, it gently answers Emilia and Reus’ questions. Shall I ask it various things?
“First question is, is this your territory? If I have entered without permission, I want to apologize.” (Sirius)
We look like a visitor in this situation. At the beginning, when the wolf heard our courtesy, it waved its neck while somehow groaning.
“Please be the interpreter.” (Sirius)
“Well, the Hundred Wolves travels here and there and it doesn’t seem to live here. So, it said don’t worry about it.” (Reus)
The Hundred Wolves was also somehow a visitor. Is that so? If this place is not its territory, there won’t be a reason to get angry. When I’m thinking about why it didn’t put up its guard, the siblings responded when the Hundred Wolves was howling.
“Yes… it’s alright. It came here by chance.” (Emilia?)
“Yeah…Yeah… Ooh… Is that so?” (Reus?)
“We’re completely left from the conversation, huh. Nevertheless, this splendid and beautiful wolf is the one that attack the horses, right? Despite the rules of the nature, I’m slightly sad.” (Reese)
“No, I think it’s probably different. Although it was said that it attacked the horses, trace of blood couldn’t be found. In fact, we heard that there were dozens of horses were attacked at that time. It probably got attacked by a group and that wolf, no matter how you look at it, is a part of the group. The probability is low, I think.” (Sirius)
I was looking at Reese who made a relieved smile and the siblings who exchanged conversation with the wolf but I was wondering when the Hundred Wolves looked at us several times.
The conversation seemed to be finally over and the siblings reported the result.
“First of all, Hundred Wolves is a male.” (Emilia)
“Aah, yeah. We certainly confirmed that but was that the first thing you need to inform?” (Sirius)
