13. It was Fluffy (2)
Through healing magic, I had healed the FenrirāsāRalph-chanāsāillness.
āYouāre a quiet boy, arenāt you?ā
I gently stroked Ralphās fur.
Hmm, as I thought, Fenrir is the best!
First of all, he felt good to touch!
Nigel said Ralph disliked other people, but I didnāt think so.
Despite my touching, I didnāt think heād resist me.
After enjoying Ralphās fur for a whileā
āIt tickles.ā
I heard Ralph-chanās voice.
āAra, you can talk after all.ā
ā!?ā
Ralph looked surprised when I responded.
āYou…. You can hear Ralphās voice?ā
āOf course I can, I am a āhealerā, after all.ā
I laughedākusukusu…
āEliane? Who are you talking to?ā
Nigel beckoned to meā
āhuh…? Oops!
Unlike ordinary people, I could understand the voices of demons and animals.
I was too excited talking with the Fenrir, I forgot about that.
āUh, uhm… as a healer, I need to be mindful of both demons and animals…ā
ā…I see?ā
āSince Iām an experienced healer, Iām able to converse with both demons and animalsāin short, I was talking to Ralph-chan.ā
āWhat!?ā
Instead of Nigel, the one who let out such surprised voice was His Highness the King.
āMs. Eliane is able to do that?!ā
āY, yes.ā
āSo, what did Ralph say? Can you please convey to him that Iām sorry for letting him suffer such an illness?ā
āAh, even if Iām the only one who can decipher what Ralph-chan is saying, he can understand what Your Highness the King said just fine. Isnāt it so, Ralph-chan?ā
I glanced at Ralphā
āthen.
āOf course. I can understand him just fine. Therefore, I must reassure him.ā
Ralph repliedā
āonly I can understand you, though.
āHe neednāt worry about the illness any longer. I know that despite his business, he still desperately tried to tend to me. Not only I am grateful to him, I donāt bare any ill will towards him.ā
āU, umm, he said to not worry, and that heās grateful because youāve taken care of him.ā
I conveyed Ralphās intention to the King.
āO, oooh…! Thatās good! Indeed, if Ralph said so, then I am relieved…ā
The King looked happy.
Apparently, he was thoroughly impressed with my ability to communicate with Ralph-chan.
ā…ā
Jiii…
Nigel was staring intently at me.
Acha… those eyes were suspecting me.
āU, uhm! If you donāt mind, may I pet Ralph?! It has always been my dream to get along with a Fenrir!ā
As a form of distraction, I requested such of the King.
Anyways! I shall thoroughly discuss that again with them later! Right now, changing the topic was my utmost priority!
āOf course, itās fine. Well, as long as Ralph is alright with it…ā
āIām alright with it. Youāre Ralphās benefactor. If you like, Iād even let you ride me.ā
āW, will that be fine!?ā
Suddenly, I uttered a loud voice as well.
āWell then, excuse me…ā
When I showed the motion as if was about to ride him, Ralph-chan crouched on spot.
He was thoughtful.
With my height, there was no way I could get on Ralphās back if he didnāt do so.
Then, I plopped on Ralphās back.
āWaaa…!ā
When Ralph-chan stood up slowly, I saw a view I had never perceived before.
Itās almost as though Iāve changed places!
Looking at the scenery from such a height, it felt refreshing…
āAlright then, letās go. Be sure to not fall off!ā
āU, uhm, please be gentle.ā
Although Ralph said so, he was mindful of me and gently walked around the garden.
ā…After hearing what you said before, I totally didnāt expect such a gentle pace.ā
āI was just joking around.ā
Ralph said bluntly.
Due to the height, I was a little scared…
However, probably because I felt such a sense of security from Ralph-chan, I experienced more fun than fear.
Even if I fell, I was sure Ralph-chan would help me…
āT, that Ralph, who has never let anyone ride him! Eliane seems to be compatible with Fenrir, ahahaha!ā
The King, although surprised, laughed again.
I had no choice but to laugh with him.
āNigel, donāt you think so too?ā
āY, yes… I thought she was just an excellent healer, but it turned out that sheās so much more… It seems that we need to raise Elianeās reputation.ā
Although Nigel was being accommodating to the King, it seemed like his suspicion regarding me hadnāt cleared yet.
A man whoās too nitpicky isn’t popular, you knowā
āwell, not like I could say it out loud.
***T/N: Pet acquired! This is my first time reading this kind of story, is Fenrir common to appear in this kind of story?
Btw, Kings and Queens are addressed as “Your Majesty” while Princes and Princesses are addressed as “Your Highness”. If the ruler is an Emperor or Empress, then you add “Imperial” before “Majesty” and “Highness”.
Pet acquired! This is my first time reading this kind of story, is Fenrir common to appear in this kind of story?
Yes. In many fantasy settings, Fenrirs are just a type of monster. So it’s a not that uncommon.
ok look at her putting shackles around her on her own…
Boiling in jealousy… not only did she get to sink into the fluff SHE CAN TALK WITH A GIANT DOG. I would kill for such a cool ability T-T I just want to raise giant fluffy demon dogs
I’m evious, too.
ok this is the time where i have to drop this, this thing feels weird. i dunno why but fmc is kinda scary???? and something feels off about the king and nigel
Lol she’s not even hiding that she has powers of a saint at all
“Isn’t be” is not a grammatically correct construction, as far as I know. I’m not a native English speaker though, so you might get a second opinion of one before changing anything.
Thanks! It’s a miss!
Thanks for translating this, you’ve done a wonderful job
š is she starting collection? Demons, animals, love interests…. Well done, and thank you
Thanks for the translation! Actually, yeah Fenrir are among the many beasts that appear so common that it became a trope (a dragon and gryphon also falls into this) especially in Japanese mangas/novels. But oh well who hates a furry fluffball anyways?
Hola
Don’t forget the Giant white Tiger/Lion spirit beast too! That’s also a common pet/trope.
Don’t forget Bears too ???
If the MC is rather OP or the plot demands it, Iād say yes.
