Oh, now I see. The mánagarmr I killed mustâve been its mother.
I took a step closer.
âI killed your mother. I canât change that, and I wonât apologize for it.â
âGrrrahh!â
âIf I let you go, youâll want revenge on humans. Thatâs why I have to kill youâto make sure no grudges remain.â
It was a necessity. Unlike the hare we hunted earlier, wolves posed a threat to villages. An orphaned pup would struggle to survive, but if it reached maturity, it was certain to attack the village. I had to prevent future trouble before it began.
With the pup glaring at me, I readied my sword. At the very least, I wanted to make sure its end was painless.
âAyame! Please wait!â Iris grabbed my sleeve.
âIris?â
âYouâre right that his mother harmed someone. Creatures living near humans mustnât do that. But the pup did nothing wrong. Heâs still innocent, and he can learn.â
âWonât he bear a grudge if I let him go?â
âIâll raise him to make sure that doesnât happen. And just look how fluffy he is.â
âFluffy...?â
âYes. Heâs so fluffy.â Iris looked at me with sparkling eyes.
Thatâs really besides the point...
âIris, I know this pup hasnât hurt anyone, but how can you be sure he wonât hurt people once he grows up?â
âItâs fine. Iâll raise him well.â
âItâs not like keeping a cat or a dog.â
âBut he is a dog. Right, Jamama?â
âYouâve named him already?â
The pup whined as Iris approached him without any fear. I kept my sword drawn and ready.
âI know youâre saddened by the loss of your mother. You must be anxious. But youâre not alone. Iâll be by your side from now on. I can never make up for the fact that we took your mother from you. She tried to survive by threatening humans. But youâve done nothing wrong. Iâll take care of you until you grow into a splendid adult. I know itâs hard to trust someone who killed your mother, but will you believe me?â
Jamama seemed unsure how to react. Iris was clearly sincere, and her face was full of kindness.
âDonât tell me that earlier...â Iris had mentioned how fluffy the pup was, but maybe it was just an excuse to save his life. It had certainly eroded my willingness to kill him.
For a while, Iris and the pup stared at each other. It was a tense moment. Then Jamama gingerly approached Iris. Heâd accepted her. The aggression heâd displayed a moment ago was gone.
Well, I canât argue now. Maybe I shouldnât have given in so easily, but I lowered my sword.
âW-Wait!â Latio protested. âThatâs the spawn of a dangerous manabeast. You canât take it into the village! What if it kills someone?!â
âDo you really think a little pup like this could kill someone?â Iris asked.
âWell... Maybe not, but...â
âGrahh!â
âEek! Ah, ugh!â Startled by Jamamaâs bark, Latio stumbled backward, tripped over a tree root, then hit the back of his head on the tree trunk.
âOops.â
âOh, wow. Heâs out cold,â I said.
âHeâs pathetic. And he was too scared to move a moment ago.â
âYou donât mince words, do you?â
âIâm just stating facts.
