The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee-Chapter 383 - The Children of Wolf Wholesaler
Chapter 383 – The Children of Wolf Wholesaler
Cruz was just sitting in front of the fireplace with Moofy and Femm, staring at the fire.
On the other hand, Tant was talking to customers.
「Of the lumber we have, pick what you desire from here.」
「Ah, thank you. When do you think the shipment will be in?」
「Probably from tomorrow.」
「Wonderful. Well, I’ll see you then.」
Tant had become a very efficient salesgirl.
And behind her the other orphans were running around, helping.
The merchant noticed Millia coming in with us and greeted her,
「Welcome back!」
Tant and the others greeted her as well.
「They all are doing a great job.」
「Yes, they help quite a bit.」
Millia said with a smile, as Tant blushed.
「We still have to work harder.」
「No, take a rest, you’re doing fine.」
「Sure.」
I looked at Cruz.
She was just sitting next to the fireplace, and then she jumped up,
「Al! Welcome back!」
「Wuff」「Moo moo」
The beasts ran over and I petted them.
「Hey guys, thanks for taking care of Cruz.」
Then I explained about the agent, and the kids ran over.
「Lion mask Cruz…what is this?」
「Huh? What? Oh this…」
「Thanks.」
Seems like Cruz wasn’t just zoned out in front of the fireplace.
She was teaching them this and that as she sat there.
But she still had her mask on.
So I said to Millia,
「Seems like Cruz is teaching them things too.」
「Yes, and Steff also helps them back at Tom’s house…so…」
Just recently Tom, Kay, and the orphans started learning; their learning speeds being different.
So, in order to make their learning differences closer, Cruz and Steff helped the ones behind.
Vi-Vi said proudly,
「I can teach them anytime too.」
「Oh, that would help. Thanks, Vi-Vi.」
Vi-Vi was a bit of an academic. She had studied magic so much, after all.
She probably wouldn’t have any problems as a teacher.
I never thought Cruz could teach much, though.
「Are you teaching them well, Cruz?」
「Of course! I have things to teach them with…」
「That’s great, Cruz. I can help them with you.」
「Yeah, thanks, Vi-Vi.」
So Vi-Vi moved to the back of the group of kids and said,
「Are you studying?」
「Yeah! Vi-Vi, I did this!」
「Wow!」
「Eheh heh.」
Millia was also talking to Tant.
「Thanks for taking care of the store. I’ll take over so take a break.」
「Sure!」
Tant joined the other kids, studying instead of resting.
「You should take a break ,Tant.」
「But I have time to study!」
Seems she was quite interested in school. It was refreshing, but maybe better if she rested.
Vi-Vi was thinking the same,
「Okay everyone, time for snacks.」
「Yaay!」
「Yay! I’ll get some tea!」
They were all ready to stop work and rest.
The kids were very happy. I think Vi-Vi picked the perfect time for the break.
「ryaa ryaa」
Shiggy popped out from the pouch and cried out happily.
She then flew over to Vi-Vi.
「Huh? Snacks?! Yay!」
The kids with Cruz also got up.
「Moo moo」「PiggGi」
Moofy and Chel came over too. Femm was just seated, waiting.
「You can have some too, Femm.」
『I’m not a kid.』
「But the kids will be happy if you join them, right?」
『I guess then I should.』
So Femm barked with a 「ruff」and joined the kids.
I sat in front of the fireplace and explained the situation to Cruz as she ate.
The new agent and Jearl as well.
Seems that the kids and beasts were interested in hearing about Jearl.
Then she listened to what the kids were talking about.
I had warmed up enough in front of the fireplace, so I told Millia,
「Okay, time to go to Lindobal Forest…」
「Oh, yeah. Can I leave it all to you?」
「You certainly can.」
We were off to Lindobal forest to by wood from Vallimie.
Since she was our friend, it made everything easier.
We wouldn’t need Millia with us.
「Will we need stone to be bought?」
「No…I think lumber is enough.」
「Understood.」
We headed off to Tom’s and Timi told us,
「I’ll go with you.」
「Sure.」
「M, me too!」「Wuff!」「Moo moo!」「ryaa?」「Piggi!」
Cruz and the beasts were ready to go too, but they were still eating snacks.
Of course, they were confused at what to do next.
「We’ll be right back, just stay and eat with Cruz.」
「S…sure!」
「Moo!」「Wuff!」「PiGGi!」「ryaa ryaa!」
It seems the beasts still wanted to come with me.
They all ran up to me.
「I’ll go with you!」
Vi-Vi wanted to go because Lindobal was her home.
I knew why she wanted to go.
「Okay, let’s go then. It’s not a sightseeing trip, though.」
So Timi, Vi-Vi, and the beasts and I went to Tom’s
Cruz stayed and watched over the children.𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
