My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 769

I was moved by Ms. Anna’s storyR/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
“In any case, even if we are not connected by blood, I see the children as family. And through spending some time with you, and seeing Leo and Liza, I believe that you are trustworthy.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, there I go again... Getting carried away. Excuse me, Mr. Takumi. Sometimes people of my age tend to ramble.”

“No, I am glad to be able to hear what you think. And I will do my best.”

“Mr. Takumi...”

Claire and Ms. Lyra watched with warm expressions, and everyone there seemed to have been moved. Even Sebastian was nodding with a warm and knowing expression.

Ms. Delia was crying...

Even though she wasn’t involved, I suppose Ms. Anna’s words had been deeply felt.

It was just supposed to be a simple conversation, so how had it turned to this?

I decided to drink my tea and pretend like I didn’t notice...

“Ah...that was a mistake...”

“Oh, is that so? I enjoyed being able to see a different side of you, Mr. Takumi.”

“Perhaps beastkin feel emotions more strongly. Well, Mr. Takumi was also nervous for most of the day. So that might have had an effect.”

“Ah, that is true. After hearing Ms. Anna, I felt a lot of relief... Though, I wish that I could have done better.”

“But you did well enough, Mr. Takumi. You were able to persuade her.”

“I don’t think I persuaded her, as she would not likely object to begin with.”

The first interviews and talking with Mr. Soldan.

And then talking with Ms. Delia. And then coming to the orphanage. A lot had happened that kept my mind working full-time.

“Mr. Takumi. She agreed because she determined you could be trusted after talking to you. I think if you were too confident and made grand promises, she might have felt differently. She can be quite strict, after all.”

“Indeed. Anna would be able to see past empty boasting.”

“I-I see. Well, I prefer to be honest, and like to act confident in what I’m doing... I suppose it worked out for me this time?”

“It is sometimes best to be confident. But in this instance, being yourself was a good thing, Mr. Takumi.”

I supposed I should be happy...that being pitiful had worked better with this mother superior then.

But then again, I shouldn’t be too happy, or then I would become truly pitiful...
