My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

The Audhumbla had a powerful charge

---

“However, the combination of their speed and weight make their charges even more dangerous than that of orcs.”

“Now that I think about it, I remember someone saying that they could easily knock a troll off of its feet.”

“Even a troll? That is something…”

After Phillip, Nicholas also told me about the Audhumbla.

Trolls were three meters tall and incredibly strong. How powerful would it have to be to knock down something like that?

“Not only that, but they are also good at quick turns. Still, you just have to be able to dodge them. And turns can be seen as a chance to attack.”

“Well, you would have to be very skilled to take advantage of that…”

“But after seeing Ms. Delia playing with the children, it makes sense.”

She had the speed of a horse, after all.

It was no wonder that the woodcutters wanted her help.

“Hmm, Ms. Delia. Do you think I could participate in this Audhumbla hunt?”

“Mr. Takumi!?”

“Uh…don’t call me ‘mister,’ Phillip.”

“…Oh, I was just surprised. But surely there is no need to go out and hunt monsters? It is dangerous.”

“Mr. Takumi, why do you want to go? I have not known you for that long, but you do not seem like the type who enjoys going on hunts.”

Ms. Delia was right to wonder about that.

Indeed, if I had a choice, I would generally prefer to avoid fighting.

Still, I had to explain that it wasn’t mere interest.

“I have not got to meet the woodcutters yet, so there is that. Also, I feel like I should experience this. Hunting…or watching something other than an orc be hunted.”

I had been able to meet the people who worked in the fields, but not the others yet.

Well, it wasn’t as if I had to, but since I wanted to view different people at their jobs, it seemed like a good idea.

“Well, there was that serpent that you caught… But I have not seen that many monsters here.”

“There are people who live in the cities who have never even seen an orc.”

“Well, they are generally protected by walls and guards. So if you do not leave, it is no surprise that you’ve never seen one.”

“Still, I have fought against orcs. It was part of my training. And so I think I should see others as much as possible. Of course, I will be sure to not get in anyone’s way. I just want to watch, not really participate.”

After all, a stranger joining suddenly would affect their teamwork.

I did not know much about this monster and would not know what to do or how to be helpful to the others.

And the last thing I wanted to do was to cause trouble.

“Well, if that is all, then it shouldn’t be a problem. And if something happens, I will protect you.”

“…But that is our job. Ms. Delia, do not worry. We will protect Takumi.”

“Oh, I forgot that you two are guards.”

“And so you can focus on hunting the Audhumbla. Leave Takumi to us.”

After thinking about it for a moment, Ms. Delia nodded her head and agreed. She also said that she would protect me, but Phillip and Nicholas insisted that it was her duty.

Well, I did want her to focus on the hunt without worrying about me…
