My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 769

I was moved by Ms. Anna’s story

“In any case, even if we are not connected by blood, I see the children as family. And through spending some time with you, and seeing Leo and Liza, I believe that you are trustworthy.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, there I go again… Getting carried away. Excuse me, Mr. Takumi. Sometimes people of my age tend to ramble.”

“No, I am glad to be able to hear what you think. And I will do my best.”

“Mr. Takumi…”

Claire and Ms. Lyra watched with warm expressions, and everyone there seemed to have been moved. Even Sebastian was nodding with a warm and knowing expression.

Ms. Delia was crying…

Even though she wasn’t involved, I suppose Ms. Anna’s words had been deeply felt.

It was just supposed to be a simple conversation, so how had it turned to this?

I decided to drink my tea and pretend like I didn’t notice…

“Ah…that was a mistake…”

“Oh, is that so? I enjoyed being able to see a different side of you, Mr. Takumi.”

“We didn’t come to have a good time, Claire. Hah…”

“Lady Claire, men tend to want to hide such things. It’s best to leave it alone.”

“Really?”

“Sebastian, pointing that out just makes it more embarrassing…”

Once Ms. Anna left the room, I leaned forward against the table and sighed.

Apparently, Claire had enjoyed seeing me get a little emotional.

Well, she would have probably kept such thoughts to herself in the past. So I suppose that I should be happy for her.

And then Sebastian had to make matters worse…

“Sniff..”

“Ah, but there is someone here who is in an even worse condition…”

Ms. Delia wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that she was crying as she sat next to me.

Ms. Lyra was about to offer a handkerchief, but then realized that it was not enough. And so she brought a towel and dried off Ms. Delia’s face with it.

It would likely take her some time to calm down completely.

“Perhaps beastkin feel emotions more strongly. Well, Mr. Takumi was also nervous for most of the day. So that might have had an effect.”

“Ah, that is true. After hearing Ms. Anna, I felt a lot of relief… Though, I wish that I could have done better.”

“But you did well enough, Mr. Takumi. You were able to persuade her.”

“I don’t think I persuaded her, as she would not likely object to begin with.”

The first interviews and talking with Mr. Soldan.

And then talking with Ms. Delia. And then coming to the orphanage. A lot had happened that kept my mind working full-time.

“Mr. Takumi. She agreed because she determined you could be trusted after talking to you. I think if you were too confident and made grand promises, she might have felt differently. She can be quite strict, after all.”

“Indeed. Anna would be able to see past empty boasting.”

“I-I see. Well, I prefer to be honest, and like to act confident in what I’m doing… I suppose it worked out for me this time?”

“It is sometimes best to be confident. But in this instance, being yourself was a good thing, Mr. Takumi.”

I supposed I should be happy…that being pitiful had worked better with this mother superior then.

But then again, I shouldn’t be too happy, or then I would become truly pitiful…
