42 Confronting the sister (1/2)

Raymond and Lux had successfully formed a partnership with one of the merchants in the nearby town called Roth. After that was done, Raymond and Lux were headed back to the Guild space. As they were walking Raymond whose senses had greatly increased was able to hear nearly silent footsteps following behind them.

He could also smell the scent of something like a perfume. At first, he thought that it was just a coincidence that someone was just going the same way as them, but now it was different. The person behind them actually followed them all the way to the Elisora Forest. It was obvious now that the person was tailing them.

Raymond held the hilt of his sword and started using linker skills on himself and Lux. When Lux noticed that he was being buffed by the Guild Master he also held onto his sword hilt.

”Hey, how about you come out now?” Raymond spoke after he was done giving buffs on himself and Lux.

”...” There was no response. Lux then took out his sword and looked around warily, while Raymond was trying to pinpoint were the sound was.

”Are you sure you don't want to come out now?” After asking for a second time, Raymond looked at the direction where he smelled a bit of the person's perfume. When Clarise saw that Raymond was looking directly at her she had no other choice but to show herself.

'Well, I guess hiding really isn't my style.'

When Raymond saw the person who was following them he was nearly mesmerized by her beauty. He had seen numerous beautiful women after coming here, as most of the captured women have above-average standards. Even the demi-humans were extremely nice to look at, but this person was beyond that. The person looked like a character from one of his favorite VNs but the color of her eyes was different. The game character he remembered had sea-green eyes but this woman had piercing blue eyes. Also, her hair wasn't tied in a bun but in a ponytail.

Not only did she looked like that lady knight character he remembered she was even wearing a similar full plated armor with an old styled dress, made from old-fashioned blue cloth, underneath. Her demeanor exuded pride, confidence, and majesty. She was practically a twin of that game character.

”Are you going to ask if I am your Master?” Raymond couldn't help but blurt out those lines as he looked at the stunning beauty before him. When Clarise heard what Raymond said she frowned.

”I see you're one those kind of men.” Clarise's killing intent was directed at Raymond who was jolted awake. He then understood what just came out of his mouth and shook his head.

”Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. You just reminded me of someone that said something similar upon meeting me.” Of course, that was only in a game. ”If I offended you I apologize, but can you tell me why you were following us?”

”... Fine, I accept your apology since you look sincere. But make another comment like that and I might cut you down. As for why I'm following you that boy should know.” Clarise gestured at Lux whose body shook a bit upon being looked at by her. Also, though she accepted Raymond's apology Clarise continued to frown at Raymond while looking at him.

”Guild Master, that person is Daniel's older sister.”

”Oh, so you're Daniel's older sister. Are you here to meet him?”

”Yes, I wish to bring him home with me.”
