Today, I headed to the Guild to accept a Goblin subjugation request.
Then, a lady came crying to me.
“Please! Please take Tanaka-san’s dog for a walk!”
“Eh! I thought I was done with that…”
“I’m sorry. There are few others who will accept, and no one else can tame that mad dog.”
Come to think of it, Colon was strangely attached to me. According to Tanaka-san, she was more attached to me than any of the other helpers who had come before.
“Recently, the requests have all been dangerous, so it’s not bad to have a change of pace.”
With that, I decided to accept the request.
The mansion I visited after a long time was still quite large.
“Oh! Cain-san. I’m so glad you could come again.”
Tanaka-san is the chairman of a large trading company, turning 70 this year.
He’s currently living in a wheelchair, so he can’t play with his beloved dog, Colon.
“It’s been a while, Tanaka-san. I’m glad to see you’re doing well. Is Colon doing well too?”
“Well, she’s doing well, but… it seems she was lonely without you, Cain-san.”
“Hahaha. Then I should go see her right away.”
I left my luggage with the maid and headed to Colon’s doghouse.
“Oh! Colon. Have you gotten a little bigger?”
Her body, which was only about 3 meters tall a few months ago, is now about 5 meters tall.
That’s right. Colon isn’t just any dog; she’s a Grendadog, a B-rank monster.
“Woof! Woof!”
“Stop, stop, you’ll crush me.”
Colon rubbed against me, happy to see me again after so long.
“Well then, I’ll take Colon-chan for a walk right away.”
I told the helpers, took Colon’s leash, and went out for a walk.
Colon is mischievous and starts running as soon as she sees something unusual.
I had been paying attention to Colon’s every move, and before I knew it, she had become attached to me.
It felt good to relax for the first time in a while.
When I glanced at Colon, she was squinting her eyes and looked sleepy.

Colon loves school.
When she comes here, she can’t help but skip at the sound of the students’ cheerful voices.
Colon loves the riverbed.
When she comes here, she always starts running when she sees the beautiful flow of the river.
Colon loves the hill.
When she comes here, she gets excited by the height from which she can see the whole town and howls.
Colon loves this town…
Colon loves her master…
Colon loves Cain…
In this way, Colon continued to increase the things she loved.
That’s why she had forgotten.
The eyes of the humans she hated…
But that’s fine.
There’s no need to remember anymore.
Colon will continue to live happily in this town…
I’ve hinted at various things about Colon’s past, but I probably won’t write about them if it’s not popular.
So, please don’t expect any foreshadowing or the start of a new enemy.
It’s just that Colon has had her own experiences…
