When Guronde laid a blanket in the corner of the room for it, it seemed to have liked it.
However, when Girar is staying in the room, it will sleep outside.
I wonder if it is because of Girarās glares.
It looks kind of sad.

Oru always follows after Guronde.
Itās with her wherever she goes.
However, it doesnāt follow her inside the toilet or bath.
During those times, it can only whine in front of the door.
Guronde canāt help but smile wryly at it.

When Guronde was teaching the children, it also doesnāt follow her.
Itās because itās kind of playful with the children.
At first, it managed to just watch and endure but when it no longer can hold back, it barks. At that moment, it was surrounded by the kuros who were guarding the children.
It hid behind Guronde while being scared silly.
After that, Oru no longer approaches the children.
It canāt even be brought near?
Now, when it is time for Gurondeās class, it does everything to not get in the way.
However, it looks like it knows that it is prohibited to cause any kind of disturbance so it just stays at the same place and doesnāt even move.
Doing that, Guronde will stroke its two heads alternately.
Then, it will fall asleep.
After lying for about an hour, it will begin moving again.
After that, it will start its daily routine.

Oruās daily routine is to look for those who are weaker than itself.
However, it filtered its search to those with four legs.
In short, I and the slimes are not eligible.
Its targets are the inferno wolves, fenrirs, centaurs, horses, cows, pigs, sheeps, goatsā¦.tortoises, and cats.
Itās doing what it can.
Itās working hard but thereās no result.
The lions from the hot spring and the dungeon walkers in the Big Tree Villageās dungeon are also out of the question.
Recently, I saw it gazing at the distance.
Itās doing that even though itās only a puppy.

I think I want to do something for Oru but, what should I do?
What kind of life does an ordinary orthros have?
I asked Loo.
ćI think it bred as a guard dog to protect cattles.ć
But, didnāt it lose to a cow before?
ćProtecting someone doesnāt necessarily mean that the protector should be the stronger one.ć
I guess soā¦.
What should I do?
Since it is bred to be a cattle shepherd, letās just throw it at the ranch area to watch over the cows but Loo saidā¦.I shouldnāt.
It lost to a goat.
It is likely to be bullied.
Thenā¦..
How about I build a small ranch dedicated for Oru?
Ah, a cow volunteered to cooperate.
Then, letās do it.
I made a mini ranch of about 5 meters square in the residential area.

Guronde took Oru to the mini ranch.
Its face looks dissatisfied after seeing the ranch is so small but its tail is wagging like crazy.
And when Guronde ordered it to protect the cow, it barked happily.

My name is Oru.
Iām an orthros and Iām proud of the name given to me by milady.
Milady is super gentle.
And super strong too.
I can tell by the smell.
Thatās the reason why I chose her to be my lady.

That village chief guy.
Heās no good.
He smells scary.
He reeks of wolves and spiders.
Of course, if those are smells of ordinary wolves and spiders, I have nothing to be afraid of.
However, they are not normal.
I donāt think I can win against them.
It is impossible for me to recognize the village chief as my lord since heās being followed by those scary beings.
I canāt go against them.
Also, it looks like they wonāt let me follow him.
If Iām strongerā¦.
Ah, no, I donāt hate milady.
Milady is great too.
Even if miladyās husband drives me out every time he comes, Iām satisfied with being with milady.

By the way, the place where Iām currently living seems to be called Big Tree Village.
The first thing I must do here is to assert dominance.
If Iām not strong, milady will be laughed at.
Thatās unforgivable.
Thatās what I thought as I began challenging everyone.
Ah, everyone with four legs.
Itās impossible for me to go against spiders.
They are floating above which is cheating.
Two legs?
Then, who the heck am I going to challenge?
Do you know what I mean?

I started challenging everyone to a duel.
Iām losing every day.
I canāt help but lose to inferno wolves and fenrirs.
They are wolves after all.
Iām a dog.
Itās regrettable but Iāll just admit my defeat to them.
The centaurs have the same upper body as those two-legged.
Iām not convinced but the horses, cows, pigs, sheeps, and goats are strong.
Iām supposed to protect them, right?
Why are they stronger than me?
Is it because Iām a puppy?
No, that doesnāt matter.
The flame magic I casted is directly being kicked off by the horses and cows together with me.
The pigs, sheeps, and goats are fighting with me as a herd.
Also, why are they used to fighting?
Or am I just inexperienced?
Yeah, how can I win?
Moreover, turtles and cats.
Why are you strong?
I can see why with the turtles.
They donāt look like ordinary turtles.
As for the cats.
They have a shining jewel on their foreheads.
Are they counted as normal?
Are they?
Iām kind of worried.
Seeing me like that, a minotaur child challenged me to a duel. It imitated a cow and lost.
Thanks.
Iām happy for your kindness but you just broke my heart.

Iām the lowest of the low in this village.
I donāt mind if Iām with milady but I do mind when Iām not with her.
I have to do something.
I spend my days thinking about how to be useful.
One day, milady brought me to a small ranch.
A really small ranch.
Thereās only one cow.
However, milady ordered me.
ćProtect the cow.ć
Oooooohhhhhhhh!
What is this feeling of elation?
I feel like I can do anything.
Milady.
Leave it to me.
I will definitely protect this cow!
Even if Iām this villageās bottom-tier character, even if the cow is stronger than me, I will follow your command.
Iāll take pride in it.

ā¦..Hnn?
What is it, cow?
You canāt open the door without permission.
What?
Itās time to go back to the ranch area?
Itās hard to spend a night here?
What should I do?
Should I go with the cow?
Should I report it to milady?
No, I have my ordersā¦..
Ah, milady has come to pick me up!
Whoah!

At a later date.
Oru can be found working hard in the ranch area.
It seems to be getting along with everyone.
However, Iāll refrain from saying that the mini ranch I made was no longer used after three days.
It was converted into a flower field.
Hnn?
The oru is moving together with the cowsā¦.ah, youāre going to the hot spring?
Be careful.
I hope the oru wonāt get lost.
When I said that, it barked at me angrily.
It looks like it got used to life here.

The orthros was named Oru.
Does this mean that Gurondeās naming sense is the same as village chief?
