Chapter 22
Chapter 22: Wish
After she was done crying, I let her help me with some of the house chores, which also served as some sort of rehabilitation exercise for her . We were all together when we ate lunch afterwards . I asked her why she was looking so hesitant to be there with us, and she strangely asked me back ‘Is it fine for me to be here?’ . Martha said that it was probably her first time feeling the warmth of another person, so she was confused . When we were done with lunch, I invited her to accompany me to the lake .
“Fenrir-san! Do you want to go to the lake together with me and Ell?”
“The lake? You mean the place where you picked me up?”
“Yeah! I always go there to practice my magic and hunt monsters . ”
“I see…But sorry, I don’t think I’ll go with you today . I want to be alone outside for a bit . ”
She said with an apologetic face .
“But you’ll come back before it’s dark, right?”
She seemed like she would disappear off somewhere so I just blurted that out .
“I will come back, don’t worry . I won’t leave this place until I have repaid you for saving my life . I know this is very selfish of me, but will you allow me to stay?”
“You heard her! Martha, she can right?”
Amelia’s face was smiling brightly when she asked Martha .
“Well, I guess it’s fine . ”
Amelia turned back towards the black fenrir after hearing her response .
“Black fenrir-san, I have a small proposal for you . ”
The black fenrir seemed glad her request had been accepted, but she soon became tense again and waited in silence for me to continue:
“Do you want to continue living with us like this? Martha said it was fine if you didn’t mind it!”
The black fenrir seemed a bit troubled .
“Of course, it won’t be like you are freeloading off us or something . We’ll give you a job . Please become Amelia’s guard . ”
“Is it enough with that? I’m not nearly as strong as Russel-sama . ”
“That doesn’t matter . You can learn whatever you feel you are lacking from him . Amelia likes you just as much . If you want to somehow return the favor, protect her! How about that?”
“You have a point there . I don’t really have a reason to refuse either . ”
“Then it’s fine, right? So… . ”
“Yeah! If you are fine with it, can you live with us here?”
After I asked again, she stood upright and answered:
“I will protect you, even if it costs me my life . I don’t want to feel like I was nothing but a stranger here . And Russel-sama, Martha-san, please train me to be as strong as you two, so I can protect Amelia . ”
“Then it’s decided . ”
“Yeah! I’ll be counting on you from now on, Fenrir-san! We are family now!”
We all happily accepted her, me, Russel and Martha from above .
In high spirits, Martha, Russel and I happily accepted her .

AN:
Hello, kurumi here .
Thank you, dear reader, for accompanying me until now!
From this chapter onwards, I will update the story at one chapter per day .
I also think I will increase the character count to 2k, so there will be around the same amount of content in one chapter as there used to be in two .
(I’m sorry, this chapter is still only 1k characters long . My deepest apologies . )
If you find any typos, funky parts, or just some feedback, please point it all out, thanks .
