My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

We arrived at the orphanage

"I see, Mr. Takumi. In that case, what do you mean by children's stories?"

"Uh…well…"

Now that I thought about it, while there were books in this world, it was rare to see ones with pictures.

There were some for studying, such as books about plants. But I had never seen any story books with pictures for children.

"Just stories made for children. Something easy to understand…with lessons to learn. Maybe an old myth or fable…"

"I see… Then perhaps stories about Silver Fenrirs…"

"Wuff!"

As Walter muttered to himself, we reached the orphanage.

"It's nice to see you again, Lady Claire. Mr. Takumi."

"Yes, it's been a while, Anna. I hope that the children are all doing well?"

"Yes, thank you."

We were led inside and then sat at a table with Ms. Anna.

Phillip and Cheryl waited behind me. I had suggested that they sit down as well, but they had refused.

As for Leo, Tilura and Liza, they had gone out into the garden. And so Chita, Walter and Johanna went with them.

"What brings you here today? Is Mr. Takumi still thinking about hiring?"

"No, it is not that. We just happened to be in Ractos, and thought of stopping by. Besides, Leo and Liza wanted to play with the children."

"And Tilura. While I cannot get into specifics, a lot has happened to her recently."

Considering what had just happened in the slums, visiting the orphanage afterwards was the right decision.

We then spent some time enjoying the tea and talking with Ms. Anna.

The conversation was mostly about the recent situation at the orphanage.

There were more children coming in these days. Both from the slums and from other parts of town.

"Indeed, there do seem to be more than last time."

"Yes. While we do not have enough rooms, we have managed to make enough space for people to sleep."

After talking with Ms. Anna, we went out into the garden to see the others.

While it was nice to see the children playing loudly…it was definitely more crowded than before.

"And do you have sufficient funds to keep things running?"

"Yes. Thanks to the support of Lady Claire, as well as those who have left us. There is no problem."

Apparently, people who left the orphanage and were now working, like Ms. Lyra, offered them a little help.

Unlike in the slums, the children here wore proper clothing, and were given plenty of food to eat. None of them looked too skinny, and some were even quite chubby.
