My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 850

We packed up and departed
“I think that in simple skill with the sword, you are already above Phillip. I’m sure the experience fighting monsters and being in danger had something to do with it. Though, if you both went all out, I think that Phillip would still win.”

“Surely you exaggerate... I am still not able to move like him at all.”

“There is no need to be able to move in the same way. You just need to do what suits you best. Though, Phillip is dexterous and can use other kinds of weapons as well. So, who knows where you will both be in the future...”

Though I felt like he was going too far, it did feel like he was acknowledging that I had improved. And so I had to try not to smile too broadly as I entered the tent.

Phillip had rolled out of his sleeping bag and was laying in the middle with his arms spread out. And so I had to roll him over to the corner so I could get in my own sleeping bag...

The next morning, I woke up quietly, so as not to wake up Nicholas, and slipped out of the tent.

“Good morning, Mr. Takumi.”

“Good morning, Phillip.”

He greeted me as he sat in front of the fire.

“There really is nothing to do when you are on watch duty here. Even though I’m used to that...”

“Well, it’s best if nothing happens. Still, it must be boring...”

“One does not get used to boredom. Ah, please use this hot water. I thought you would be up soon, and so I prepared it. It should not be too hot.”

Like yesterday, I rode behind Phillip on his horse.

We were scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so that meant we could camp out one more night. But I had gotten a little used to riding, and should be fine.

Just like with Range village, the road stopped halfway there.

We traveled to the east from Ractos and then went down south towards the forest.

“Hmm....”

“Is something the matter, Phillip?”

We occasionally took breaks while traveling to Bleiyu village. It was then that Phillip murmured while thinking about something.

“I was just wondering why there are so few monsters.”

“Well, isn’t that a good thing? Besides, this isn’t like the path to Range village...”

“That is true. But there should be some monsters. Either ones that strayed from the forest, or ones that live in the fields.”

Now that I thought about it, the monsters I encountered were always from the forest.

But it would not be strange if there were monsters hiding in the grass here as well. Even though there were supposed to be soldiers patrolling these parts occasionally...
