Chapitre 232: Catching up

"...the wolves..."

Mary spoke up while staring down at her own feet.

"Yeah. The six cute doggies."

Zombie nodded, smiling brightly, and looked at the brown-haired girl expectantly, which only made her, Arion, and Blueberry feel all the more terrible.

"...I'm sorry... I can't do that..."

Mary clenched her fists and shook her head.

"...? Huh? Oh come on, you don't think I would do something to them! Even if they slacked off and are really weak, there's no way that I would be angry at them!"

Zombie scoffed and assured the girl.

"..."

But Mary didn't raise her head.

"...skwee... (...daddy, it's not like master doesn't want to...) ...skwee... (...she really can't summon them anymore...)"

Blueberry hover nervously and screeched sadly, lowering her head.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Zombie furrowed his brows and looked between the brown-haired girl and the blue griffin.
