Leading the young lady I picked up astray, making her the happiest girl in the world!-Chapter 69 - Journey’s End 1

Crude laughter echoed through the dark forest.

No matter how you looked at them, they were clearly a band of poachers. And because of that... their fate had already been sealed.

“Freezing Bind.”

"Gah!?"

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet froze, and their screams rang through the mountain.

The ice reached up to their knees, and even when they stabbed it with their swords, it didn’t leave a scratch.

As they panicked, Allen appeared, stepping into view.

"You really did come crawling in. Villains are so predictable, it makes my job easy."

"Wh-what! You are...!"

"I'm not worthy of an introduction. I'm just an attendant this time."

"An attendant... what!?"

The men's faces turn pale.

With heavy, thundering footsteps, Fenrir’s mother emerged from the trees. Of course, the other pups were with her.

She glared down at the group and let out a low growl.

"Grrrrr…!"

"Hiiiiiieeeee!!"

That alone was enough for them to grasp Fenrir’s fury, and the fate that awaited them.

Shaking uncontrollably, the poachers began to beg for their lives.

"P-Please! We beg you… just spare our lives!"

"What are you talking about? Of course I won't kill you. I’m just going to hand you over to the authorities."

"H-Huh… r-really…?"

Relief washed over their faces.

Allen was telling the truth. He had asked Charlotte to help persuade Fenrir's side not to take their lives, even if poachers were caught. But… that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be consequences.

"Now, now, before that... 《Strengthen Defense》"

"Huh?"

Allen snapped his fingers, and the men's bodies glowed faintly.

It was a spell that increased their defense.

Though, he had intentionally weakened the effect a bit. A light slap wouldn’t hurt, but getting punched with full strength? That would sting. It was a very calculated balance.

Allen turned to the Fenrir family with a cheerful smile.

"Now you can go all out without killing them. Take out all your anger—have fun!"

"GRRAAAAAHHHH!!"

"GYYYYYAAAHHHHHH!!"

And so, like chew toys, the poachers spent the entire night getting gnawed on by the Fenrir family.

The next morning…

"Thank you so very much!"

At the hotel entrance, the mermaid concierge bowed deeply.

Since Allen and the others were leaving, she had come to see them off. With a bright smile, she continued.

"I heard all about it, sir! You saved Fenrir, didn’t you?"

"Fu. Yeah, I guess so."

Allen gave a faint smile and patted Charlotte on the shoulder.

"Though the real hero here is this one."

"Oh my, is that so?"

"Ehh!?"

Charlotte let out a surprised squeak.

She opened her mouth timidly, eyes wide.

"It was the zoo staff who healed Fenrir's injuries, and Allen caught the bad guys, right? I just talked to them, it's not a big deal..."

"But without Charlotte, it wouldn't have been so peaceful."

Fenrir's child continued to refuse treatment, and the parents' anger was unrelenting.

If that had happened, Allen would have hurt Fenrir's parents in order to protect the zoo.

"So this is your achievement. You should be proud of it."

"My..."

Charlotte stared blankly at her own hands.

The mermaid turned toward her once again, bowing deeply.

"Thank you so much, miss. Now we’ll get to see those little ones happy and healthy again!"

"…Yes!"

Charlotte replied with a beaming smile.

The three-day, two-night hot spring trip was not only fun... but also a very rewarding event for Charlotte.
