As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

Miscalculated...what?

No, it shouldn't be... This was calculated based on his known fate, and it was also from the perspective of Treya, whom he knew very well and raised by his own hands.

Nothing will happen...

problematic.

——Just like before.

--Right?

Chapter 241 What do you think of him? Yi'er

Seton Township.

This city is a transit point into the capital. As long as you want to enter the capital from the east side, this is the only way to go.

Pevlan's team set out from the town of Yavik and headed for the capital. It took about two days to get here - after all, they were a rescue team with the privileges of the "Adventurers Association".

but……

The strange thing is that Pevlan asked around and heard no news that anyone related to Will and Shona had been here.

She guessed that they probably did not take a straight line to get here, but took a detour from somewhere else.There are many small towns near the capital. If you really want to avoid being noticed, there are at least five different towns to choose from.

What's just uncomfortable is...

As a relay station for entering the capital, there are many businessmen coming and going, so it is difficult to find accommodation without making a reservation in advance.

Fortunately they can sponsor it in the Adventurers Guild.

only……

This adventurers' association is in shabby condition, and cannot be compared with the adventurers' associations in other prosperous areas.

The weather had cooled down, and since they had been heading north, Pevlan had someone light the fireplace in order to keep everyone from catching a cold.

……

late at night.

Elle wagged her tail and looked at the flames in the fireplace.

Everyone else was sleeping on the spot. After she got the information that the young master was probably on a different path from them, she felt a little unable to sleep - this was very difficult for a "canine" creature that always had good sleep quality. A rare thing.

"Speaking of which, the young master seems to have told Yiel that half-orcs mixed with 'canines' have better sleep quality..."

The fire reflected in Yiel's gray eyes.

Such flames reminded her of her childhood...

A story from when I was very young——

At that time, the dog named "Sanqi" raised by Master Will had not yet passed away. She had just been assigned to Will's side and was told that he had chosen her and that she would be his personal maid from now on and would do everything. Follow her orders.

She didn't know Will well yet, and she was still a little afraid of the "weird" young master who everyone said was serving him up and down.

It was winter, and Will stood in front of the winter fireplace, his back to the flames, looking at her.

but……

She didn't dare to raise her head because she was afraid of Will.

Although he looked very "friendly" and was neatly dressed, he was indeed the young master living in System's house.

"Don't be afraid, it's so cold today... Well, did you just learn how to make tea? That's good. The first task is to make me a cup of hot tea."

"Tea……?"

She pricked up her ears. She had just learned to speak and she didn't really understand what others were saying.

Especially someone like Will who, despite being so young, speaks in a polite manner for some reason.

"Well, that's it."

He pointed to the cup.

"Ah."

That was her first time making tea, and her skills were really poor. She couldn't stand what she brewed now. The tea leaves were not filtered very clean, and even the water temperature was wrong. It tasted half-cold but not lukewarm. Weird taste.

She was holding the tea, and was very afraid that the "weird" young master would get angry and beat her after drinking it, but she was very calm - because the first half of her life that she had memory of actually spent in pain in the forest, being beaten. A meal may be what servants like them must experience.

Since it is something that must be experienced, there is nothing wrong with arriving early.

When she came back, she saw the young master sitting on a chair, seemingly reading a newspaper - it was the first time that she had seen a child of her own age able to read an "adult-readable" newspaper.

"Tea...good..."

She didn't know how to call him Master yet, so she served the tea that she carefully brewed. When he picked up the cup, she retreated to the fireplace in fear.

"Oh, let me have a taste..."

Will just picked up the tea, smelled it, and frowned, but he drank it anyway.

"This taste, oh, as expected..."

"Yes... yes... sorry!"

Before he could finish his words, Yiel apologized and backed away until——

Until his tail caught the flames in the fireplace.

For half-orcs, the most difficult thing to avoid when surviving in the human world is the tail that grows outside the body. They often knock over things without noticing, and are accidentally stepped on by others. Even like now...

Burned by fire all at once.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey..."

When she realized it, the flames had burned through a little of the hair at the front, and it was so hot that it burned towards her flesh.

She was so frightened that she threw away the plate, fought the flames with her hands, and walked forward with tears in her eyes.

puff--

At this time, she felt a coolness coming from her newly burned tail.

Will poured a whole cup of unfinished black tea in his hand, which was not the right temperature, onto her tail.

Now that I think about it, this scene is a bit like taking it out on the maid because she felt the tea didn't taste good.

But Elle raised her head, and it was the first time she had looked into Will's eyes for such a long time.

He was not angry. At that time, Yiel could not read expressions, but she could smell his calm and even worried mood in the air with her keen sense of smell.

he……

He is indeed a "weird".

He always does such strange things with his hands and makes such expressions.

"Sorry, that's what you used for your first cup of tea - but frankly, it didn't taste as good as I expected."

He suddenly smiled, and smiled very happily. He reached out and rubbed the tip of Yi Aier's ears, making her tremble in fear.

"You are just as I expected... you are afraid of me."

"It doesn't matter, we can all take our time. We have a long time."

……

"Can't sleep? Why are you warming yourself by the fire?"

After recalling all this while looking at the flames, Yiel's thoughts were called back by Peflan who was speaking quietly beside her.

"I'm very sleepy, but I really can't sleep..."

"Are you worried about your young master?"

"Um……"

Pevlan felt that the little maid's thoughts were really easy to guess. Just by looking at her eyes as she looked at the flames, she could guess that she was reminiscing about something interesting.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. That Will, Will System, is really so charming. Not to mention you... there are also the princess who posted the missing person notice, and even Shona, who I think is very independent. They all seem to like him quite a lot.”

Yiel cocked her ears.

"Yes... that's what the young master is like!"

"Shh... everyone is sleeping..."

Elle lowered her ears.

"Maybe it's because he is indeed strange, but he is very goal-oriented and very motivated. He can also arrange everything. Don't worry."

Yiel gently touched the collar around her neck.

In fact, she has changed many of them, but no matter which one, the young master personally gave it to her.She treasured them all very much and secretly hid them in her room - even though Will told her to just throw them away.

"I don't know what it is like for other people. But he has the power to change me. If you follow him step by step, you can see your own progress and a better future."

"Looking back, although I have become a better version of myself, my trust and reliance on him have become one step closer."

"The kind of peace of mind he brings, like predicting 'fate' and changing the foundation, is... inseparable..."

Elmo was stroking the collar, not looking at Pevlan saying these words, but staring at the flames in the fireplace.

It was as if she was still addicted to memories.

"Oh? Then I'm quite surprised. I originally thought that maybe he would get a 'gentle' comment from a scumbag that I'm tired of hearing."

"...Young Master is of course gentle..."

Yi Aier thought for a moment, although he would care about himself after his hard training and give himself a lot of useful equipment and food.

But, per se... throwing her into harsh training shouldn't be called "gentleness", right?Especially if you hit yourself with a shooting star or something like that.

"...Okay, maybe not..."

"interesting."

Pevlan also sat down and took off the shawl she wore on her shoulders.

"Then I can probably guess why Shona followed him."

"To harm the young master! There must be something wrong with Shona, who has such a weird life experience!"

Yi Aier lowered her voice, but her words were very serious.

"Hmm...Although I told you about Xiuna's somewhat weird identity, I don't think she would harm your young master."

"Do not believe!"

"Forget it, I still think your young master sounds interesting. Hmm...don't you think there are no less doubts about him than the dangerous Shona we talk about?"

"Ok?"

Elle tilted her head.

She also realized that maybe it was because she rarely communicated with people other than the young master - rather, she rarely communicated with people who didn't know Will, so she was actually...

First time "evaluating" Will.

Tell others about Will through her mouth, through her impressions.

"I have been a captain for so many years and have led many players - or students. To be honest, it is very difficult to change yourself. It is even harder to 'change' other people stably. ?”

"This one……"

"To change other people means that you know them very well. To predict events like a god means that you know the future very well."

"The young master often talks about words like 'fate', but... I always think he is very pessimistic."

"He...he often writes something in a red notebook, or flips through something, but he never shows it to us..."

"He always seems to know where something is going to happen..."

When Yi'er mentioned this, he suddenly noticed something keenly.

"Fate...pessimistic..."

"Look, does he look like someone who can see through your 'future'?"

"...Young master will not harm Yi Aier!"

"No, no, sometimes doubt doesn't mean it will harm someone - just like Shona."

"Well... Yi'er seems to know a little bit about what you mean. Although... I can't express it..."
