Chapter 3
I Encountered A Creature I Had Never Seen Before
“…Sorry, Leo. I wasn’t able to spend much time with you up until now.”
“Wou? Wuff!”
When I thought back on everything up until now, it wasn’t not being able to relax that I most regretted. It was that I hadn’t been able to give Leo enough attention.
After rescuing her, I put her in a room and fed her. But I only took her for a walk once every week.
So many times she had to wait until midnight for my return…
If we escaped this forest and returned home, I would quit my current job and search for something that would give me more free time.
As I had worked so hard, I didn’t have any time to spend my money, so I should have a decent amount saved up.
I would be able to live off of that, and spend plenty of time with Leo.
As I thought of such things and petted Leo’s silver fur, she suddenly raised her head and licked my cheek once.
“Wou. Wuff!”
“…Are you saying that I shouldn’t worry about it?”
