"So this is the one you want to help us?" Kanaria fell on her knees, staring at the wolf at the same eye level. She was a bit curious why Clovis chose the dire wolf.
"Yeah." Clovis nodded. "Reolf. This is Kanaria."
Reolf sniffed Kanaria cautiously. There was no way Reolf would open up completely in just a single day. The fact that it was already trying to remember her alone was already beyond what Clovis would happen.
"Oh my. You—" Kanaria wanted to rub Reolf, but the latter backed off before she had the chance.
Clovis smiled wryly. "Let Reolf trust you first."
"Oh?" Kanaria scratched the back of her head. "I understand."
"This is my group, Reolf. They are Jay, Melody, Ragna, and Erwin." Clovis introduced him to the rest of the group. Reolf might actually be their seventh member.
While he never thought that a beast would join his group and become an important member, he couldn’t help but notice how easy it was for Clovis to trust Reolf.
Unlike humans, whose thoughts sometimes eluded him, Reolf was more straightforward in his approach.
Reolf sniffed every single one of them, remembering their smells. They stood still so that Reolf didn’t back away.
"I know that there are a lot of questions in your head, but let’s go back first. There are a few things we need to do after this investigation."
"Alright."
Reolf’s body wasn’t too big, so he easily fit inside the minibus. In addition, Clovis planned to get a custom minibus when they reached Hana’s plan in the near future.
"So what did you find out about the other two cities?" Clovis asked.
"We have found this." Melody projected a screen, which contained two maps. "We set up more than ten sites and checked them with the radars. And these are the results."
Several radar images appeared on top of the ten dots of each map. As Clovis expected, there were about three hundred beasts in one radar image. And each radar wasn’t even scanning a huge area either.
Clovis’ expression turned solemn. "This is rather concerning."
"Yeah. We have confirmed that these two cities are infested by beasts."
Clovis projected a video for them. "This is what I’ve found."
Unlike them, Clovis was actually showing a video of a radar getting scanned from one corner to another.
As for who managed to get all this quality recording, it was the wolf who was trying to sleep on the back.
…
A few hours ago.
Clovis placed a radar and a small camera under Reolf’s belly and asked, "Can you go around the city while bringing this?"
Reolf agreed nonchalantly. As a beast, Reolf was able to pass the area with numerous beasts without a single fight. He moved around the city as Clovis recorded the entire process.
In just two hours, Reolf had found more than 4,000 beasts on the radar. It was to be expected that there would be a lot more beasts around. The camera had confirmed the existence of those beasts, which was higher than normal.
Although it was a shame, Clovis could only retreat and bring this finding for the next plan.
…
Clovis asked, "With this, we have enough proof that the information is true. We’ll begin our plan so that we can win against them."
"But how? According to her prediction, there would be more than a hundred thousand beasts coming to the city, right?" Erwin asked.
"I have a plan." Clovis nodded with a serious expression. The more they listened to Clovis’ plan, the more they realized how much Clovis wanted to destroy the enemies.
They didn’t know if it was going to work, but it was indeed worth trying.
As soon as they returned to the city, Clovis and Reolf were dropped right in front of their house. They had to park it a bit closer to the house to avoid anyone from seeing Reolf.
At the same time, the rest also left the minibus here since Reolf could only be moved out with the minibus for the time being.
"I’ll go back to my house." Kanaria had to return to her family because of the incoming beasts. At the same time, she took on the role of convincing her family to go through Clovis’ plan.
"Yeah. Please ask your mother to continue monitoring the Drake group and the Rusth family." Clovis waved his hand.
"Don’t forget your promise. I’ll definitely ask you to uphold your promise after all of this is over." Kanaria made a cheeky grin, teasing Clovis.
"Ahaha." Clovis only gave a wry smile.
"I’ll return to my family as well. Are you sure you’ll be fine alone for the next few days? Are they not going to attack you?" Jay asked.
"You should worry yourself more than me." Clovis patted Jay’s shoulder. "You have the most important role in this plan, Jay. Because you haven’t done anything remarkable and have access to all the connections we need, you’re the most suitable to handle it."
"I know. I might be a bit passive in my role, but I should be able to handle it." Jay nodded.
"In that case, I’ll just go back with Ragna." Erwin shrugged. "By the way, are you sure this is going to really work?"
"They have no choice." Clovis shook his head.
"Alright." Erwin nodded. That was what Erwin only needed.
"Melody. Please gather all information from the media, not only about this city but also other cities. We’ll have to know when they’re going to attack." Clovis explained.
"Got it." Erwin waved his hand and just dragged Ragna away.
"Do you need a ride? My family should pick me up soon. Or I can give you a ride to the hospital if you want." Jay asked Melody.
"I’ll go to the hospital. Thank you." Melody agreed and walked to the street.
Kanaria hugged Clovis tightly while saying, "Clovis…"
"What’s wrong? We’ll only be separated for a few days." Clovis chuckled.
"No. I just want to tell you that we’ll be here with you."
"…" Clovis was slightly startled. It seemed that the time he locked himself in his parents’ room made her misunderstand.
At the same time, he felt a bit moved. As she said, this wasn’t like a few months ago, where he was all alone.
"Thank you, but it’s going to be fine." Clovis smiled.
"Alright." Kanaria felt relieved that everything was fine. She waved her hand as she chased after Jay and Melody since her parents would be sending someone to drive her back.
After seeing all of them leave, Clovis finally entered his house. To his surprise, Reolf was already waiting for him right in front of the door.
"…" Clovis felt a bit weird since this was the first time he had a pet.
"Well, there is nothing we can do for the next several days." Clovis smiled wryly. He had noticed that Reolf’s affinity had reached 35 points. If this continued, he might be able to get Reolf’s trust in a month or so. "Anyway, are you hungry?"
In the next few days, Clovis spent his time developing his relationship with Reolf.
Because of his size, Reolf stayed inside his training room.
He had been a good wolf since he understood Clovis a lot and didn’t really make a mess.
However, because there was nothing to do, Reolf chose to spend his day sleeping, which made Clovis feel bad.
If he didn’t bring Reolf back, this wolf would have been roaming around the city instead of getting imprisoned in this small room.
For the first time in his life, Clovis was thinking that owning a mansion would be quite good. At the very least, he wanted a space for Reolf to move around.
Since he was a beast, it would probably be fine to have a spar with him since it would continue his instinct.
And the pet shop didn’t give any toys that Reolf could use. Even Clovis thought that having a toy that could be used as training equipment would be good.
Unfortunately, Reolf could only sit and watch Clovis through the window as he trained his swordsmanship.
He promised that he would get a mansion even if he had to empty his bank account once he reached Hana’s place. This also meant that the mansion would be their base of operation, and everyone would be living inside it.
All of it changed in three days. Clovis was supposed to wake up as usual, but this day, he woke up due to a small bark from above.
His body felt heavy, which made him open his eyes right away.

What he found was a brown wolf, whose height seemed to almost reach the ceiling. Even though the wolf was standing on top of his bed, it didn’t change the fact that the wolf was supposed to be a bit shorter.
"Reolf?" Clovis let out a small groan. He noticed the excitement on Reolf’s face. It was confirmed when he noticed the change he found on Reolf’s body.
