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 .
