Conflict

"They are devils of the Gremory family" Smiling towards Fenrir, Saya turned to Rias and continued "Rias, he is the owner of this territory, his name is Amarok".

"Amaro-?" Being instantly silenced by a tail stroking his face, Fenrir looked up at Shizuka and watched her silently, then narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"Don't be angry" Gently caressing Fenrir's face, Shizuka whispered in his ear "Saya is only doing it to protect us. We still don't know what this area is like and your name represents a lot, who knows if you are somewhat hated in this place."

"Hated? Why?"

"The name Fenrir comes from a very ancient history" Ignoring all the outside, Shizuka continued to whisper softly "Fenrir represents destruction and even though right now it may seem like unnecessary caution, it's better to be safe than sorry, since the last thing we want is to see our cute Fenrir being attacked"

"..." Looking into Shizuka's soft eyes, Fenrir growled softly and looked back down at the group, then scanning them one by one and focusing on the small dragon on Asia's shoulder.

Lowering his gaze quickly, the dragon leapt into Asia's arms and hid in her arms.

"Amarok... where did I hear that before?" frowning slightly, Rias muttered.

"Amarok is from Inuit mythology, hailing from the Eskimos" Hearing Rias' murmur, Akeno continued "It is said to be the wolf that hunts anyone who dares to hunt at night... a gigantic wolf said to have lived in the realm of the gods, though I remember hearing that it was a lone wolf."

Raising her eyebrows, Saya nodded "I read that story when I was a child."

"Me too" Smiling slightly, Akeno replied.

"*Sigh*" Leaving the hut while sighing, Yuriko looked at Saya reproachfully and spoke "You suck at treating guests."

Carrying a tray with glasses of natural juice inside, Yuriko smiled towards Rias and her people and spoke "It's nice to have guests after so long, please make yourselves comfortable and have a drink. We're sorry we can't give you a seat, but as you will see, animal skins are everywhere and you can place yourselves wherever you like."

Opening her eyes wide at the sight of the halo on Yuriko's head and the beautiful white wings, Rias stammered "A-an angel!?"

Hearing the shout of Rias, a young man who until now was gazing dazedly at the large breasts accommodating Fenrir's head, Issei swallowed saliva and resisted his strong urge to shout at the top of his lungs how heavenly such breasts are, because even being covered by a baggy yukata, he could easily notice that without a doubt those are the largest breasts he has ever seen in his life.

But knowing that he already screwed up once and the situation couldn't be more dangerous, Issei took a shaky breath and turned to Yuriko, being once again stunned by such an angelic figure.

"P-please don't do it!" But while everyone was under their own daze and thoughts, a shout suddenly woke them all up, as Saya quickly rushed forward towards Issei and held Fenrir.

"W-what?" feeling a dangerous breath on the back of his neck, Issei slowly rolled his eyes and watched in horror as the claws nearly penetrated his neck.

"*Sigh* It was obvious that would happen" Looking at the worried Saya and the furious Fenrir who is watching her as if he wanted to devour her right now, Yuuki came out of the hut and commented while shaking her head "Even I could feel the look he gave Shizuka and I certainly felt the look he gave Yuriko, and I didn't even look out the door."

Robotically turning her gaze back to Issei, Rias pupils narrowed like a needle as she saw how close to death ers prized pawn was, but realizing that she didn't even see the man move nor did he manage to feel him, a bead of sweat fell down her forehead as her entire group went on high alert.

But if everyone felt on the verge of death right now, the most affected was undoubtedly little Koneko who was trembling heavily and her breathing stagnated at the sensation of danger that enveloped her acute senses.

"What are you doing?" Seeing the hand holding his wrist, Fenrir whispered coldly, while his sharp teeth were fully exposed and ready to tear his target apart.

Biting her lips tightly as she saw a look that seemed to squeeze her heart, Saya pleaded "Please don't do this... trust me."

"Do you understand what you're asking me right now?" Forcing himself not to lose himself in fury, Fenrir inhaled deeply and whispered coldly "Do you smell that, Saya?"

"I-I don't smell anything..." Knowing that the only way to reason with Fenrir is to first understand his reasons, Saya quickly shook her head.

Raising his gaze to Yuuki, Fenrir whispered "You smell it?"

"His hormones are at their peak, ready to mate" Smiling slightly as he fully understood the reason for the rage, Yuuki casually commented.

Turning his gaze back to Saya, Fenrir continued "I'm not as smart as you Saya, I know to humans I may seem... uncivilized."

"But even though what you call wisdom is not my forte, I know that being a wolf I am the best" Hiding his teeth while his face shows an intelligence never seen before, Fenrir continued "This human puppy unleashed his hormones when he looked at my betas... declared in front of me that he wants to mate with my betas, and yet... you ask me to let him live?"

"Do you understand what you're asking me right now?" With a vein scarred on his forehead as he suppressed his murderous intent for the first time, Fenrir took a deep breath and growled "Do you even try to comprehend this?"

"You come here... you bring dangers to our cave and ask me to bow my head to a mere prey" Taking an even deeper breath, Fenrir withdrew his hand and clenched his fists, while his whole body seemed incredibly tense and agitated.

The veins stood out on his temples, his ears stood up straight, his body seemed to tremble as his muscles bulged.

But if people felt what he himself feels now inside, they would certainly fall down without being able to achieve what Fenrir is doing right now.

And the reason is simple.

His instinct screamed murder!

His instinct screamed to consume flesh and drink blood!

Literally everything inside him was incredibly furious like he had never been before!

And Fenrir, being a man who always acts purely on instinct, was literally mutilating himself right now to avoid losing his head.

Opening his hands, Fenrir stretched his fingers wide and clenched his fist tightly again, while his breathing became increasingly agitated and heavy.

But when Fenrir was going through the worst moment of his life, a sudden warm embrace enveloped his body, while a soft voice and comfortable wings enveloped his body "Just let it out, don't hold yourself back."

Gently stroking Fenrir's back, Yuriko whispered sadly "Scream, curse, kill him if that's what you want, but please don't hurt yourself..."

Inhaling Yuriko's sweet scent, Fenrir took a deep breath and rested his forehead with hers, staring into her eyes as his mind quickly calmed.

"Don't open a second time..." Looking at Yuriko's warm gaze, Fenrir whispered.

"I'm sorry there is a first time..." Gently caressing Fenrir's cheek, Yuriko whispered.

"..." Nodding silently, Fenrir inhaled deeply, then turned away as Yuriko retracted her wings.

Staring with narrowed eyes at the frozen Issei, Fenrir turned his gaze to the rest of the invading group and growled softly, then looked at the pale Saya and spoke "I don't want to see him around here again, no second chances for him."

"Mn" With her head down, Saya nodded softly.

With one last glance at the group, Fenrir growled softly and walked out of the cave, causing the entire group of guests to sigh in relief with sweaty faces.

"I-I'm sorry!" Bowing deeply, Rias gritted her teeth and spoke sincerely "I promise that something like this will never happen again!"

"B-buchou..." With a pale face, Issei looked at Rias in disbelief, not quite managing to process what just happened.

"*Sigh* It's okay, it was my mistake to have brought them to begin with" Rubbing her face helplessly, Saya turned to the side and grabbed a glass of juice, then slowly drank it and sat down on a pile of animal skin.

"What a cute little girl~" Wanting to lighten the mood, Shizuka climbed down from the pile of animal fur and came quickly behind the still pale Koneko, then hugged her and rubbed her face with hers "She's like a cute kitten."

"Th-this..." Shyly approaching Yuriko, Asia looked around anxiously and whispered "H-he'll be okay?"

Raising her eyebrows at an unexpected question, Yuriko asked "You worry about him?"

"H-he looked very sad... and angry" Gently stroking the little dragon's scales between her arms, Asia commented shyly.

Looking at the young girl silently for a few seconds, Yuriko smiled softly and stroked her hair "Your heart is very beautiful little Asia, thank you for worrying about him and relax, he'll be fine."

"Th-thank you" Lowering her head with a blush on her face, Asia looked sideways at the halo on Yuriko's head and fascination passed through her gaze.

Looking at the group silently and at Yuriko specifically, Rias thought for a few seconds and turned to Saya "Can I send back part of my group?"

"Whatever..." Losing all her previously seen momentum, Saya nodded.

Turning to Kiba, Rias approached him and whispered, "Go with Issei and Koneko."

"But president..." Frowning slightly, Kiba tried to protest, but seeing Rias' serious look, Kiba finally nodded and sighed.

"Akeno."

"Understood~" Regaining her smile, Akeno raised her hand and formed a large magic circle underneath Kiba, so that after about 20 seconds, half of the group disappeared.

"*Sigh*" Being more relieved to have some of her people gone, Rias turned to Saya and bowed her head slightly "I apologize again for what happened...I'll see to it that this doesn't happen again."

Nodding silently, Saya sighed and shook her head, then stood up and walked towards the hut "Follow me please."

Entering the hut, Saya walked to the table and sat down, then waited for Rias and the rest of her group to sit down.

When everyone was ready, Saya rubbed her forehead in a rather low mood and sighed "I'll be straightforward, that dragon can be considered as a gift to strengthen friendships, I wasn't planning to charge you for it in the first place."

"But I am interested in trading animal skins" Turning to Satooji, Saya continued "I am not going to put on airs and I recognize that at present I do not know what value each skin should have, so I will leave it on your conscience, but don't forget that this lack of knowledge won't last forever and as you saw, we are not people to be easily played with."

"M-may I know what skins you have?" nodding quickly, Satooji stammered.

"Mmmm... Do you have any list of the beasts in the area? I could identify them easier with that."

Nodding, Satooji pulled out an old book from among his clothes and held it out to Saya, causing the young girl's eyes to sparkle as she took it in her hands.

Opening the book, Saya looked carefully at each page and spent the next 15 minutes memorizing all the contents, something considerably easy considering her new super memory.

Having a better understanding of the entire forest surrounding them, Saya frowned slightly as worry rose within her 'Very powerful beasts... to the level that they can easily destroy cities... 9-headed hydra and a dragon named Tiamat.... what a fucking madness'

Shaking her head knowing that this is not the time, Saya looked at Satooji and commented "We have bloody rabbit skins, crimson rabbit, minotaur, purple weasel..."

After naming more than 20 different types of beasts, Saya continued "Depending on the level of danger, each skin should have a different price, but now the important thing is... how will you buy these skins?"
