My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

be asleep, it looked like tears were coming out of her eyes.

I was surprised at first, but then I realized that she was having a dream about her grandfather.

Perhaps she was dreaming about their separation…the moment that he had died.

I raised my head and saw that Leo was looking at me.
And then I turned my eyes back to Liza.

And then I gently wiped away the tears with my left hand and patted her on the head in order to comfort her.

Leo also barked in a worried voice.

During the day, Leo and I were around, and she had played with Tilura and Sherry, and seemed happy… But I suppose she pretended to be braver than she was.

After all, she had been abandoned in the slums, and then lost her grandfather, and then was picked on.

I would have to assure her that from now on, she would not be lonely, and that there would be plenty of fun things in her life.

“Mmm…Huh? Papa?”
“Did you wake up?””
“Yes… Hahhh…”

“Hahaha.
Well, you slept a little late, so you’re probably tired.
Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
“No, no.
I’ll get up.
I’ll be with you and maama today!”

“I see.
Well, let’s get up then.”

After deciding to do my best to ensure that she would not feel sad, Liza woke up.

She rubbed at her eyes, and yawned loudly.

It seemed like she was still sleepy, but wanted to get up anyway.

And so she let go of my arm and jumped down from the bed.

“Wuff! Wuff!”

“Aha! I’m fine, mama!
“Wuff!”

Leo immediately moved her face towards her and licked Liza’s face.

Liza replied cheerfully and Leo looked relieved.

I suppose Leo was worried, but also wanted to wipe away the tears as well.

…Hmm.
Liza should probably wash her face before breakfast.

Even if there were no tears, her face would now be sticky.

Not that Leo was particularly dirty, but it would be good for her to learn to wash her face in the morning as a habit.

Back in Japan, Leo had sometimes woke me up in the morning by licking my face… 

Though, it wasn’t because of any concern she had for me.
She just wanted me to feed her.
