Chapter 8
Since the strange incident in which Feru the Fenrir joined us on our journey, we have continued travelling towards Veenen and are nearly reaching it .
The formation was like this: I am right in the centre, Rita is at front, on the left is Vincent, on the right is Ramon-san, right-back is Franca, left-back is Werner-san and finally, Feru was at the back of the formation, following clumsily .
Werner-san seemed to be in deep thought and gave a sigh .
“What’s wrong? Werner-san . ”
“No, we are about to reach the borders but, I still have no idea what can be done in our current plight . ”
Hm? What plight?
“Nonono, Makooda-san, we will definitely stop this . ”
Vincent glanced back before saying .
Ah—, it’s because Feru is here .
“All the border guards would be very curious I suppose . However, I think they will realise we have no ill intentions and let us go . ”
“Werner, before they even do that, there would be a confrontation with the imperial army even if Fenrir has no intention to fight . ”
“What Ramon said make sense . ”
“Eh, that Fenrirs once destroyed an entire country is not just a nursery-tale?”
“Rita, that is treated as a historical fact you know?”

Wait, was I hearing things?
About destroying an entire country, is that not a joke?
“Even if they recognise Fenrir as a familiar and let us in the country, this time, I’m sure, the whole country will be after us . ”
Werner-san said that as he looked upon me .
Wait, me? This time what?
“They would think that Makooda-san, who has contracted with the Fenrir, would unlikely leave the country alone . If Makooda-san wanted to take control of the country, the Fenrir would definitely help out . ”
Eh, Ra-Ramon-san, is that true?
It would be extremely troublesome if the country spread such rumours .
[No worries . If they plan to inflict harm on me or this fella, we will just take on their challenge . ] (TN: I will now use square brackets when Feru talks since the author is using some special quotations too . )
“Nonono, T-That’s too excessive . Fenrir-sama……”
[It’s Feru . ]
“… If Feru-sama actually went all out, the country would really be wiped out . ”
[If we are going to get our hands dirty, isn’t destroying a good thing?]
F-Feru-san, isn’t that a little too much enthusiasm?

[If you don’t like it, then I won’t make any moves . It’s easy . ]
Hearing what Feru had said, everyone’s mouth became wide open .
[Speaking of that, isn’t the time to have our meals?]
Thus it became break time .
Ah- disaster .
The amount of red boar meat that everyone in Iron Will hunted earlier is reaching crisis levels .
Even if you tell me to use everything without reserve, there is still a limited amount of food .
I used up quite a lot because of yesterday’s stir-fried pork with ginger and also because of this morning, when Feru kept insisting [Meat! Meat! Meat!] .
[Oi, I am hungry for more meat . ]
“As expected, afternoon is going to be meat too . The red boar meat is not mine, if you realty want to eat meat, please go catch some on your own . ”
[Mu, is that it? I’ll be right back, wait for me . ]
After saying that, Feru dashed to the closest forest by the path .
“M-Makooda-san, it is okay to just use the red boar meat actually . ”
“Nah, I wouldn’t let that happen . Everyone put in so much effort to hunt that and Feru would just be finishing everything by himself . Furthermore, I don’t want to pamper Feru too much . If Feru intends to continue following me, he has to at least provide for his own portion right? I can’t really hunt, neither do I have enough money to buy so much food all the time . I will become broke in no time . Hahaha . ”
