My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

s store to buy magic tools and things that would be useful on his travels.
And that was how he had met Ms.
Isabelle.
As it was decades ago, it was probably before Ms.
Claire was born.

They would talk about magic and traveling… And before she knew it, he was a regular at her store.

When talking about him, Ms.
Isabelle had a far away look on her face.
But as he traveled a lot, he could only visit her once every few months… Sometimes she would not see him for years at a time.
But whenever he happened to be in Ractos, he would always pay her a visit.
However… He stopped traveling altogether a few years ago, when he found Liza.
That must have been around seven years ago… It would be too difficult to travel while caring for a beastkin baby, and it would not be good for the child.
And so he decided to stay in Ractos.

That being said, as he had been traveling for years, Mr.
Reyndorf had no savings.
And so he had no choice but to settle down in the slums.
While Ms.
Isabelle had been against him living in such a dangerous place, he had learned how to deal with such people on his travels, and so no problems had occurred.
And now that he was no longer traveling, he would slowly try and save up money so that he could eventually buy a house for Liza to live in.

“Reyndorf was very fond of Liza.
He no longer had that sharp expression that he did when he was a traveler.
I think she brought peace to his heart.
But why is Liza now with you and Lady Claire?”
“About that…”

And so I told her about the situation when I had found Liza.
And how Liza had talked of her grandfather’s death.

“I see… So he is gone… Well, at this age, it is not unusual for your friends to pass away.”

Ms.
Isabelle said as she looked up at the ceiling.
I could not tell what she was thinking, but it looked like she was offering a prayer to her old friend.

“…Haah.
So he died before achieving his dream… I suppose in a way, it was good that she was taken in by you and Lady Claire.
Perhaps it was through his guidance.
His last wish…”
“Perhaps…”

Leo had been acting like she was searching for something as she moved through the slums.
And then she found Liza.
Both Mr.
Ekenhart and I knew nothing…
I had thought that it was because of some connection between beastkin and beast type monsters, but perhaps there was more to it.

But there were so many people in Ractos, and it wasn’t like her senses were sharpened with herbs.
Finding Liza should have been even harder than finding Sherry.
When I thought about it like that, it did seem like Mr.
Reyndorf had entrusted Liza into my care.
Which was quite sobering.
