My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

pose she would feel better to be of service, as long as it wasn’t anything ridiculous.

“In that case, I’ll gladly accept your help.”

And so I left the gathering and separating of the different types of herbs to Ms.
Lyra, and I used Weed Cultivation.

As Tilura had to study after lunch, she was not here.

But I could see Sherry and Leo sleeping under the sun.

And so the garden was quiet, with only the sounds of Ms.
Lyra and I moving around.

“Mr.
Takumi… Surely this is enough?”
“…I want a little more… For Ractos… And more Ramogi for Range village as well…”

As the sun was starting to set, Ms.
Lyra became concerned again.

In fact, I had actually made more than I had initially planned.

As I would be gone for a few days, I wanted to make extra herbs to send to Ractos…

“But…you look tired.
I think you better rest at the very least.”
“I’m sorry to worry you… Very well, I’ll rest.”

I could not argue with Ms.
Lyra as she peered into my face, and so I decided to rest.

However, she seemed pleased as she started to pour the tea.

But as she had been helping since lunch…she was probably tired as well… I then noticed that my back hurt a little.

While using the Gift didn’t make me tired, crouching with my hands on the ground while growing herbs, as well as picking them, was quite like working in the fields.

“Here.
I hope it helps you to relax a little.”

“Mmm… Thank you.
You rest too, Ms.
Lyra.”

“No, I don’t…”
“I was able to do a lot more than I expected, thanks to your help.
And you must be tired as well? Here, don’t hesitate.”

“…Very well… Phew…”

I stretched my sore limbs and then thanked Ms.
Lyra for the tea as I sat down.

As she had been helping me the whole time, I knew that she was tired as well.

And so I had to get up once and steer Ms.
Lyra over to the chair so she would sit down.

She did so reluctantly, but then let out a pleased sigh as she tasted the tea that she had poured.

So she really was tired… I felt bad all over again for allowing her to help me.

“Now that I think about it…this is the first time we’ve sat together at a table, isn’t it?”

“Yes.
I am a maid of this house, after all… It is not proper for me to sit with Lady Claire and the others.”

I suppose that was the typical way to think if you were a servant.

I wasn’t used to such things, and so I was always worried about Ms.
Lyra and the others when they stood in the same place for so long.

That being said, it might be uncomfortable for them to be forced to sit at the table as well…

“Well, from now on, I hope that you’ll drink tea with me like this, when you have time.”

“…I suppose that as a maid, I should refuse… But if you truly mean it, Mr.
Takumi…”

Ms.
Claire and the others weren’t around, and it was only a short rest.

Besides, I was a guest here, and not a nobleman.

I was a commoner, and so I was sure that Ms.
Lyra would get used to it quickly.

And so after that, the two of us enjoyed our tea and talked as we rested.
