BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37
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 .

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~”
