“These beasts, are dogs, from Jagar. They have, been trained, for hunting. Hunters in Jagar, and Selva, use such hunting dogs,” Shumiral explained, paying our shock no mind. “I was late, returning to Genos, because I was learning, how to handle them. I have trained, for half a month.”

“Hmph... So you’re saying you can use these dog things to hunt giba?”

“Yes. Jagar dogs, are clever, like people. They are capable, of hunting all sorts, of beasts. I am certain, they can hunt, giba as well.”

Donda Ruu’s face was rigid as he stroked his bearded chin. “Those traveling performers who visited Genos for the revival festival were capable of manipulating beasts as if they were their own limbs. Are you saying you can match that feat after only half a month of training?”

“That much, would be difficult. But we have, established a bond.” Shumiral turned back to the wagon and called out, “Duey.”

In response, one of the dogs leapt down to the ground, making Rimee Ruu let out a “Wow!” with her eyes sparkling.

“I named the leader, of these hunting dogs, Duey. Duey, lie down.”

The hunting dog followed the command, lowering its head to the ground smoothly. It was a big, solidly built dog, around seventy centimeters tall and a hundred and thirty long, and had short light-brown fur, a large head, and somewhat floppy ears. If I were to compare it to a breed I was familiar with, it was closest to a bloodhound.

“Good,” Shumiral called out, and the dog swiftly rose. It then gazed at us softly with its black eyes. “Well? Do I have, permission to, use these dogs, in hunting?”

“You obviously wouldn’t have heard about this, but there was an occasion where we allowed traveling performers to bring beasts into the forest not too long ago... There’s little chance that the nobles or the other leading clan heads would deny you after what we allowed before,” Donda Ruu said, turning his piercing gaze toward Shumiral. I couldn’t get any sense of his emotions from listening to his voice. “But the beasts those performers brought here were as large and as powerful as giba. These are only about as big as a mundt. Are they really capable of bringing down a giba?”

Shumiral tilted his head a bit in response, so I jumped in to explain. “The traveling performers came here with an algura silver lion, a gaaje leopard, and a vamda black ape.”

“Such beasts, entered the forest, of Morga? That is, a surprise,” Shumiral replied, his eyes opening slightly wider. He still seemed to be having difficulty with letting his emotions show, but that was still more than enough for me to know what he thought about that. “Regardless, hunting dogs, are indeed used, even when hunting, animals of that size. They are even, used to hunt, muffur bears, which are, larger still.”

“So you’re saying these little animals are even stronger than lions and black apes?”

“No. In a, one-on-one fight, they would lose. But they do, help hunters, be more effective.
