Adventurer's Guild Café: I Was Wrongfully Exiled by the Saint, So I Will Enjoy My Second Life with My Fluffy Friends-Chapter 1V2. .7 - Elena Leiria

“I never thought I would meet someone from the same White Wolf Tribe as Kuu-chan~”

After Ingrid and the others left, Ruri placed her hands on her cheeks and let out a surprised breath.

“I feel the same. I never expected to meet them so suddenly...”

“But it’s a good thing, right? They don’t seem like bad people.”

“Yes.”

Watching the fluffy ones playing around on the table, I let out a relieved sigh.

If what those people said was true, then perhaps the White Wolf Tribe had almost completely disappeared.

If that’s the case, where did my mother come from?

Could there be another place besides Grantania where members of the White Wolf Tribe live?

“......”

Dan had been deep in thought for a while now, arms crossed, staring intently at the floor.

“Dan?”

When I called out to him, he flinched slightly, which was unusual.

“Is something wrong?”

“...No, it’s nothing.”

Come to think of it, he was about to say something earlier too. What’s going on with him?

“...Kuna, I think you should treasure this connection.”

“Huh?”

Dan suddenly said something like that.

“If there are things you don’t understand about your own tribe, you can ask them. And if you ever find yourself in trouble, they’ll probably help you.”

“Y-yes.”

Dan spoke so seriously that I nodded repeatedly.

“Let’s call it a day. Kuu-chan must be surprised too.”

“Yes, that’s true...”

Before I knew it, while we were busy, the sun had begun to set.

Both Ruri and I were exhausted, so we decided to end work for the day.

“Today was surprising, huh, Lulu?”

“Ru?”

With only the faint light of the lamp on, I lay in bed and murmured to Lulu.

“By the way, Lulu, do you have a father or a mother?”

“......”

“Where were you born, I wonder? Could it be that your parents were actually in that forest?”

When I asked that, Lulu tilted its head. It didn’t look sad.

It was as if it was saying, “I don’t know.”

“Kyuruu.”

“Fufu, that tickles.”

After evolving, its chest fur had become even fluffier, and as it rubbed against me, I couldn’t help but giggle.

“Yeah, I don’t really understand either...”

After making sure the fluffy ones were properly asleep in their basket, I turned off the lamp as well.

Maybe I was exhausted, because that night, I quickly fell into sleep.

Perhaps because I had met Ingrid and the others, I had a very nostalgic dream.

When I was little, I once had tea in the garden with my mother and father. My mother was gazing intently at a distant flower garden. Sitting on her lap, I was playing with sweets like they were toys.

“Elena.”

“......”

“Elena, Kuna is playing with the sweets.”

“...Ah.”

My father called my mother’s name. The first time, she didn’t seem to notice. When he called her a second time, she hastily looked at him.

“Elena.”

“Eh, oh... yes.”

Why, I wonder? We beastfolk have good hearing. Even if she had been lost in thought, at this distance, she should have definitely heard him.

Thinking back on it now, it almost seemed as if my mother didn’t recognize “Elena” as her own name.

Am I just overthinking it...?
