Chapter 442 – Magical Wolf 2
After looking Femm over for a bit, the magical wolf continued,
「…human…you are correct, I was the former king of the wolves of Mulg.」
「I knew it.」
「What? What did he say?」
Cruz said with her eyes shimmering.
「This great magical wolf was not Femm’s father but her grandfather.」
「Whoa! Femm’s grandfather!?」
『Grandfather…』
Femm looked at her grandfather closely.
It was the first time she had seen her grandfather.
「You’re Femm, then? Good name.」
『I got the name from Alfred here.』
「I see. That’s good.」
We hadn’t been formally introduced. So he didn’t know exactly who Alfred was.
And so Femm nodded over in my direction.
「My name is Alfred Lint. Magician. And…」
So I pointed over to the others around and they answered,
「I’m Cruz.」
「Luka. I know magic beasts well.」
「I’m Yureena Linmia.」
「I’m Vi-Vi.」
「Belda.」「Ecces.」
「I am Timisoara.」
We had little time, so names alone were good enough.
I also remembered to tell them the names of Sighisoara, Moofy, and Chelnovok.
「My name is Moko.」
The wolf told us.
It was a cute name that didn’t quite fit a noble magical wolf.
「My master as well gave me that name.」
「I see…it’s a good name.」
「Yes.」
Moko must have meant the hero from 300 years ago.
The wolves had no history of giving themselves names.
That’s why Femm’s own father didn’t have a name.
「Femm. Is my son still in good health?」
『Last year he died of sickness.』
「I see…He was a great wolf. And he died only 300 years old…」
『Yes, he was a great magical wolf king.」
Both Moko and Femm seemed sincerely sorrowful about the death.
「Femm, you’re so young and yet you had to be king…it must have been hard.」
『I am fine. I was helped by Alfred.』
Femm didn’t act as prideful as usual. She was actually quite humble.
Perhaps she didn’t think she needed to act like a king around her own grandfather.
And so they sniffed each other out.
It was an important thing for wolves.
They probably got more information from that than from talking.
I had a lot of things I wanted to ask Moko. However, the reunion of the two was much more important.
So I just stood back and watched them with Luka and Yureena.
With the greetings over, Moko slowly stood up.
「…you have things you wish to ask. Whatever you desire.」
「Moko. Don’t push yourself too hard. You haven’t totally recovered, right?」
「I thank you for your caution. Master of Femm.」
「Master?」
「If you named Femm, you are Femm’s master.」
「Is that so?」
『It’s just a convenience!』
Femm said, a bit embarrassed by it all.
I was the one that named her, though.
Seems from the first days we knew each other, I had always been her master.
「Master of Femm. I appreciate your caution, but I am fine.」
「Moko, I really mean it. Aren’t you tired?」
「My wounds are healed. I also ate porridge. I was tired from all the urging to fight, but nothing too much to speak of.」
「I see. You’re very strong.」
「And a king of the magical wolves lives a long time.」
Moko said, a bit proud of himself.
I guess being too careful, trying not to hurt Moko’s pride more than anything.
「Well, since I’m going to ask, please relax, you can lay down if you’d like.」
「…as you wish.」
And so the standing Moko lay down.
「We were about to go and defeat whomever is deep inside here…」
「I see. So I guess you know what’s down there.」
「We have heard that it’s an undead demon living down there. I don’t know if we completely trust that information, though.」
「What do you mean?」
Moko asked me, and I tried to explain.
A lord of the undead had come and tried to destroy the town below the Demon Lord’s castle.
He told us that his real mission was to resurrect the demon lord of the undead inside the dungeon.
「I had only heard about the demon lord of the undead from the lord of the undead so…」
「I see.」
「That’s why I’m not one hundred percent sure. It was just something an enemy told me.」
Even so, I don’t think the lord of the undead would tell me a lie.
My intuition told me he wasn’t lying from his expression and tone.
But I didn’t trust my intuition one hundred percent either.
「Master of Femm. Your information is correct. There is an undead demon inside the core of this dungeon.」
Moko revealed, making it a fact.
