53 The beginning of the battle (1/2)

Raymond woke up the next day and saw a beautiful naked woman with wolf ears beside him. When Raymond saw Luna he started to remember what happened last night. This soft looking wolf girl was very intense. Remembering what happened last night made Raymond think about his previous world.

'I guess this counts as my first time. If I don't count pr*stitutes I guess I have never done it before.' Once Raymond finished deciding that he stood up wore his clothes and did his usual routine. He noticed that there was a well in the middle of the town were he could get water to wash up.

When he approached the well, he noticed Clarise who was standing outside a tent. It looked like she was guarding her brother from the wolf kin women. Seeing that Raymond couldn't help but shake his head.

'I kinda feel sorry for the guy.' When Clarise spotted Raymond for some reason she approached him.

”Good Morning Clarise.” Raymond greeted her with a smile on his face.

”Good Morning, so Guild Master, I have been going around this village earlier this morning. After a quick look, I found out that this place has not a single fortification. Normally I would advise intercepting the enemy before they reach the village, but because we lack too much information we cannot act carelessly. So Guild Master what should we do?”

When Raymond heard what Clarise said he was a bit shocked. This woman who showed no signs of being interested in anything except for her little brother was actually taking her job as a Guild Member seriously.

'I guess she really isn't that bad.'

”Don't worry about that, we will face them near the village.”

”Is that all? Don't you have a strategy or some tactic we need to employ?” Clarise was now looking at Raymond a bit disappointed.

”Strategy? Tactics? Don't you use those if you're facing an equal or greater opponent? The ones we're facing now are just a bunch of mutts. The power difference is so huge that I kinda feel sorry for our enemy.” Raymond felt really confident as he answered.

When Clarise heard what Raymond said she was momentarily stunned. The way he gave his response and the look in his eyes, he truly believed every word he said. Baffling enough, it doesn't sound like he was being arrogant. In fact, Clarise felt weirdly reassured and motivated when she heard Raymond's response.

This was the first time she felt this way from the words of another person that was not her little brother. Even the Grand Commander from the Custodians of Iron wasn't able to make her feel this reassured. Clarise found her feelings confusing and strange.

Seeing that Clarise wasn't responding and remained silent for a few seconds now, Raymond spoke.
