  In the middle of a calm night, I opened my eyes as I awoke .

  It was because the【presence sensation】skill reacted to something .

  Someone is nearby . Though this time, they’re not inside the house, but outside . In other words, someone was observing me from the roof .

  “Rouga . ”


  “What is it chief~”


  Calling out Rouga, she answered with a sleepy voice .

  “Not sure if it’s an enemy, but someone is watching me . Let’s go confront them . ”


  “Understood~”


  I was not sure who this person could be, but they’ve got some nerve to disturb me while I was sleeping .

  Feeling a bit angry about being disturbed, I teleported behind the peeping Tom .

  “What could be the matter this time, Peeping Tom?”


  “!!?!”


  When I spoke to the spy from behind, the person abruptly turned around, surprised .

  I couldn’t see the spy’s face since I wasn’t used to the darkness .

  “I don’t really appreciate being spied on at this time of the night . Who are you?”


  “.……”


  The spy remained quiet in response and slowly stretched a hand to me instead .

  Then suddenly, a bright light came out of that hand .

  “Guu! Rouga!”


  “Wan!”


  I swiftly summoned Rouga before I closed my eyes unintentionally due to the light .

  Summoned at that moment, Rouga leapt on the spy . In a split second, I heard the sound of a bite; looked like Rouga’s attack was successful .

  “?!”


  The spy shook off Rouga, who was biting hard, then ended the light and escaped off the roof .

  With my eyes flickering, I was about to follow before I realized something odd .

  (I can’t sense the spy’s presence . Was it a concealing skill?)

  I couldn’t track the spy location using 【presence sensation】 . There’s no way I’d be able to find the spy now . Turning back to look in the direction the spy ran, I couldn’t see anything but darkness . I let the spy get away .

  The fact that the 【presence sensation】skill didn’t work on the spy was proof enough that it was not a normal person . As well as that light that was released from the spy’s hand .

  “Chief- So-rry!”


  Rouga walked towards me while being apologetic for getting shaken off by the spy .

  “Don’t worry about it . You did well . ”


  I replied to Rouga’s apology with a head pat .

  Property of © Fantasy-Books . live;.

  Apparently happy that I stroked her head, Rouga took back her lively ambiance and let out a happy whine .

  I wonder who that had been?

  Not having the least idea about who it could be, my doubts slowly vanished in the night’s dark .

  “Rouga, you’re a wolf, right?”


  “That’s right~”


  “Then why do you bark like a dog?”


  “I dunno~”


  “Maybe you’re a dog after all . ”


  “I’m a wolf-!”


  “Here, Rouga, a bone . Go fetch it!”


  “Wan!”


  “.…… she went to pick it directly . ”


  “I can’t win against my instincts~”
