Thanks to that, the whole place descended into chaos.
The director, with a pale face, confronted the zookeeper who had reported the incident.
"That’s impossible! We erased the scent when we took her in, and we even used presence-blocking magic! How did they find this place?!"
"The opponent’s magic power was just… far too strong, that’s the only explanation…"
"It's true that this one has lived here for over a hundred years... but it was more than we expected."
The director and staff looked down with bitter looks.
Fenrir is famous not only for its rarity, but also for its pure strength.
A specimen over a hundred years old could easily wipe out an entire city. And now, such a creature was heading for the zoo. This was clearly a serious situation.
Allen could only groan as he felt the sweat running down his back.
"From their perspective, the zoo did kidnap their child… Simply returning her quietly won’t cut it, huh."
"She’s still under treatment, and it would be dangerous to release her outside. And seeing their injured child… what would the parent think…"
"It would just be throwing fuel on the fire, huh…"
Allen let out a long sigh.
In that case... there's only one thing to do. He rolled his shoulders and said.
"There's no other way. I'll stop the mother."
"That's... even if you're the son of the Crawford House, that's too much!?"
"Don't worry. I’m good at dealing with trouble. Leave it to me. But just in case… please evacuate the guests."
"Gh… Understood. I’m sorry…"
"Okay, then Charlotte, along with the guests――"
"Allen!"
He was about to continue, telling her to run away, but he was interrupted halfway through.
Charlotte stared straight at Allen. In her eyes burned a will stronger than anything he had ever seen in her before.
"You said it earlier, didn’t you Allen-san? That I might have talent as a monster tamer."
"Yeah, I did say that... but..."
Allen frowned.
He already knew what she was trying to say. He shook his head slowly.
"…Don’t. It’s too dangerous."
"But… I can’t just sit by and do nothing!"
Charlotte wouldn’t back down.
She bowed deeply, her voice trembling as she pleaded.
"Please. If things get dangerous, I’ll run right away. But let me talk to that child!"
"Charlotte…"
"Who is this young lady…?"
The director tilted his head in confusion, but the zookeeper who had brought Allen and Charlotte spoke up brightly.
"She might really be able to do it! She tamed the magic beast in the petting zoo without using a single spell!"
"But those magic beast are pretty docile..."
"This is a Fenrir we’re talking about…"
Most of them remained skeptical.
But Allen smiled faintly, lifting the corner of his mouth.
(Fu... you really have changed.)
Before, if Allen said no, she would’ve backed off right away. But now, Charlotte showed no signs of backing down.
The girl who once seemed like a lifeless doll was now trying to fight for someone else.
That change only fired Allen up even more.
He smiled and patted Charlotte on the shoulder.
"In that case, I’m counting on you. Convince that child and get her to accept treatment."
"Y-Yes!"
Charlotte raised her head and clenched her fist tightly.
"Director, please allow her to speak with the young Fenrir. She really does have a talent for monster taming."
"…If it's a recommendation from the Crawford family, I won’t object. Besides, we have no options left…"
"Good. Then it’s decided."
They had worked together before.
But this would be their first… true joint battle.
"Well, let's go. Let's talk to the wolf!"
"Yes!"
