Chapter 9

The Veenen country is right before our eyes .

We can see the border fortress from here .

We shuffled slowly and quietly to avoid detection, nevertheless, the guards still came out from the fortress .

Ha~, I knew it would come down to this .

I sighed while looking at the clumsy Feru follow with heavy footsteps .

“There are loads of soldiers coming out huh……”

“It’s cause Feru-sama is here . I’ll go ahead and explain the circumstances to them . ”

After saying that, Werner-san ran towards the fortress .

This is so annoying .

The soldiers were already lined up and waiting for Werner-san .

“I am Edgar Wollgard, the commander of the 4th Knight Squadron of Veenen . I have heard from Mr Werner . About the claim that the Fenrir has formed a familiar contract with you, is that true?”

I can see that among the guards, this commander-san has the highest rank (he has a surname too, so he might just be an aristocrat), and that there is a very tense aura around him as he spoke .

This is because Feru is around .

The guards that are supposed to be ready to deal with all sorts of situations were holding on to their weapons .

What to do, this is the legendary beast, even if the legend is centuries old .

“Yes, I have formed a familiar contract with this Fenrir . ”

The guards gave off an “Ohh” as they listened to what I said .

“I see . Still, this is a Fenrir that can single-handedly destroy a country that we are talking about . Are you very sure that no harm will come upon this country and its people?”

As the people entrusted with the security of this country, these guards’ concerns are reasonable .

“Oi, Feru . The people here are worried that you are as strong as the legends claim and are extremely worried about you entering the country . They would be troubled if you were to become violent while in the country . Feru, could you promise never to do such a thing?”

[Nu, don’t put me in the same league as the other dumb demons . As long as no harm comes towards my master and I, I would not do anything aggressive . ]

“As you have heard . Commander-sama . ”

The commander gave an astonished face as he observed the exchange between Feru and I .

“This is really a legendary beast that has formed a familiar contract huh …… Even though it is right in front of me, I still can’t believe it……”

That’s right, commander-sama .

While I didn’t understand anything about Fenrirs, I was forced to form a familiar contract .

“Judging from the conversation, the familiar contract seems to be real . If that is the case, I shall grant permission for entry . However, please hold tight the reins of your Fenrir familiar . ”

“Yes, I am aware . Oi, Feru, please behave yourself ok?”

[I know what to do . As I said earlier, if nobody strikes at us first, I do not intend to do anything dangerous . ]

“I’m counting on you to really, really behave yourself . If anything happens, it will be my fault, you see . ”

[Are you a broken record?]

“Please, you need to be very careful and pay attention to all your actions . Ah, if you cause anyone trouble, it will mean no food for you . ”

[Gu……]

Somehow we managed to receive permission to enter the country, but I pray that nothing strange happens .

If anything does happen, the sin would be on me .

“I see . As the Fenrir seems to be well-tamed, it is unlikely that troublesome situations occur while in the country . ”

The commander-san said while appearing to be relieved .

“Commander-san, I think that the likelihood of such situations is almost zero . We were there when Makooda-san formed the contract with the Fenrir, and ever since the Fenrir tagged along with us, Feru-sama has not shown any reckless or violent acts . ”

“It is as Rita says . For example, Makooda-san had once instructed Feru-sama to bring back prey . I was so shocked at that . ”

Rita, I was surprised too .

Feru captured and brought back the prey to secure his own portion of food though .

Well, she didn’t say that the capturing was for my sake so, saying that isn’t wrong too .

“Whoa, this means you are totally in control?”

Hey commander-san, why did you go “whoa”?

I really wanted to go up and keep his mouth shut; can’t he tell that there are some things you can’t say?

Forget it, doing that would be problematic .

After all that, we managed to get permission for entry and safely descended into Veenen .
