Alidus and I were sent out of the room after this.
It seemed like the two of them wanted to discuss something in private, but when we came out of the room, Alidus said, "I know that look. The two of them are going to drink."
I raised a brow in doubt when I heard this, but he said with a smile, "It's just how the two of them are. Whenever they talk about the demons, that's how they will act. We'll have some time before they recover, so let's go take care of something before that."
I had an even curious and confused look on my face when I heard this.
"Let's go and hunt some wolves." Alidus said with a smile.
I was surprised, but I gave a nod in response.
Though I certainly didn't expect him to suggest this out of all things.
...
"Is everyone ready?" Alidus said to the group of giants that had gathered.
They nodded in response when they heard him ask this question.
The group that had been gathered was the group of giants that had followed Alidus previously when he had been in the Harakka Tribe. During the time that he had been away, they had been following one of his friends who was the vice leader of their group.
But now that Alidus was back, naturally they went back to following him.
Technically, this group was a group of guards, so their duty should have been to guard the Harakka Tribe.
However right now, it didn't seem like anyone was planning on guarding anything.
It seemed like everyone was preparing a banquet to welcome us back, while also starting to trade for the goods that we had brought with us. These giants appreciated art very much, so they were happy to see all these pieces of art that we brought with us.
For them, it was as if the market had come to them.
That was why they were celebrating.
Though a part of it was that they were celebrating the return of their human friends.
I was surprised to find that the ice had broken far more than I thought. It seemed that at least for the Harakka Tribe, it wouldn't be long before the scene of humans and giants getting along would be common.
But that was for after we came back.
For now, we were planning on going to the den of the Great Wolves.
This was the agreement that I had come to with Alidus.
The Great Wolves were just abandoning their young, so it wasn't as if anyone was going to take them in the first place. In that case, it was better for me to see if we could rescue them.
I had my way of training them, so it would be good to have a pack of Great Wolves under our control in the future.
Once everyone showed that they were ready, we headed off.
Though there was a trace of bitterness that was on my face as we headed out.
That was because there was someone here that shouldn't have been here.
I turned to look at her and asked, "Should you really leave them all alone? Don't they need you for the trades?"
Haley just said with a smile, "It's fine, they can handle themselves. That's what I trained them for."
Then in a more serious voice, she said, "Are you trying to leave me here because you think that I'll get in the way?"
I quickly shook my head to deny this.
Haley narrowed her eyes to look at me as if she was scrutinizing me before suddenly going back to the smile to say, "Good. You know that I need to see the products first before we bring them back."
Though she said this like a businesswoman, I knew that there was a different meaning behind her words.
I had seen the way that she treated the Great Wolf cubs that we had brought back with us.
Though after some time, it was hard to call them cubs anymore...
It was better to call them fully grown Great Wolves with how large they were now.
They had already grown to the point where they could breed if they wanted, but it didn't seem like they were planning on doing that yet.
Especially with the way that they were spoiled by those that were supposed to train them.
It was all because of Haley and the other wives of mine who saw them as pets rather than as powerful Great Wolves.
Still, I didn't say anything since the Great Wolves would protect them when the time came, so it wasn't as if it was bad for them to get closer to the Great Wolves.
Even if I couldn't stop her, there was something that I had to say.
"If there's any danger, you will be leaving right away. It doesn't matter what happens, you'll be leaving first."
Haley didn't say anything this time as she just nodded with a serious look on her face.
She knew that I wasn't joking about this and she didn't want to go against this either since she knew that I was doing this for her good.
If the Great Wolves found what we were doing and attacked us, it would be dangerous.
So it wasn't a joke if something were to happen.
Seeing that she agreed, I didn't say anything else as I focused on the path that we were traveling.
Alidus led the way and soon we made it back to the territory of the Great Wolves that we had visited before.
Of course, we didn't go to the main nest of the Great Wolves since there was no doubt that they would be there. They hadn't been there last time because they had been out attacking us, but it was different this time as there was nothing distracting them.
If we were to poke that hornet's nest, it would be troublesome.
So instead, we focused on where they dumped the unwanted cubs.
We had come at just the right time.
There was a cub that was being carried out when we arrived near the Great Wolves' nest.
