My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

There was a reason for Sebastian’s teasing

“Ah, I suppose it happened during our regular hunts. I’m sorry for the trouble. In fact, perhaps I could just take it to Mr. Halton later.”

“No, this shouldn’t be much trouble. Of course, it won’t be as professional as taking it to a tailor…but please leave it to me.”

I felt bad for relying on her for this, but she seemed happy to do it. And so I was grateful for her help.

“Thank you.”

“Perhaps if I was able to do such things like patching up clothing, I would be more useful to Lady Claire…”

Ms. Johanna muttered.

“You are already very useful as a soldier and a guard. You must leave this other work to us maids.”

“Do you think so? Well, I am likely to hurt myself if I use a needle.”

A long time ago, I had attempted to sew something and ended up with blood all over my fingers. And so Ms. Johanna and I felt kinship at that moment.

“Well, it’s getting late. I suppose everyone will want to retire for the night…”

“Hohoho. Lady Claire, you are quite red in the face. Your lady mother would never have been so lacking in composure.”

“It is not fair of you to bring out memories of my mother, Sebastian. Especially since she is the person I look up to the most…”

Claire said with a sigh.

“Sebastian, she will get angry soon…if you persist.”

“Oh, I got a little carried away. Still, I am only trying to toughen her up.”

“You seem to be enjoying yourself though? Hah…”

Apparently, Sebastian was purposely saying things to affect her emotions, especially during times when it would surprise her… That way, she could practice dealing with such tactics, which would come in hand during negotiations and business meetings.

I suppose learning to speak in such ways was important.

Otherwise, you would find yourself always at a disadvantage when talking with merchants.

Though, I’m not sure why he had to make it about my relationship with Claire most of the time.

“Well, if we are retiring for the night… I will be sleeping here.”

“No, no! Please rest in your room, Mr. Takumi. We will sleep here!”

“Huh? But you must be tired from the journey. I have been taking it easy here.”

After some discussion, it was decided that Claire would sleep in a room with Liza and Tilura, while Ms. Lyra and Ms. Joanna would use Nicholas’s room.

And so I took the last room.

As for Sebastian, it was decided that he would be staying at the chief’s house.

They had actually wanted Claire to stay there, but she refused. And so since they felt pressured to send at least one person, Sebastian would use that room in her stead.

I suppose it looked bad for a noble’s daughter to visit, and for the chief to have done nothing in terms of hospitality…

Though, was Sebastian still the best choice for that? I could not help but wonder…
