They left the guild, and Silva headed for an inn. He got a room for Dawn and decided to stay a bit and talk to her.
But as soon as he entered the room, she followed behind and hugged Silva from the back.
Silva was shocked as he felt her body press against him. Even with ten extra minds working in parallel, he couldn’t calm down.
“Dawn,” he said.
“Please, just for a moment,” she said. “Thank you, thank you,” she repeated.
‘It seems I underestimated the effect of loneliness in her heart,’ Silva thought.
“I said I’d save you, right? The next time they lay their hands on you, or talk to you, I’ll kill them, slowly torturing them till death,” Silva said.
When she heard that, she tightened her grip on him. After a while, she let go.
Both of them sat on the bed, and Silva started talking about the raid tomorrow.
“The labyrinth belongs to me, but the town doesn’t know that. They believe it’s a group of people probably still in the labyrinth.
So tomorrow, the raid will be happening, and I want you to be there with me,” Silva said.
“You don’t need to ask; I’ll surely go with you,” she replied. “But the labyrinth doesn’t really have anyone inside, right? Yet you’re allowing them in. What’s your plan?” she asked.
“Information gathering. People from Blacklight City are coming. They have some A-ranks, and A-ranks have information that normal people can’t access.
I need all the information I can get before I head for the academy in a few months. So while they’re all there searching for non-existent people, I’ll slowly carry out my plan,” Silva explained.
He spent the rest of the time explaining the details to her until night came, and he decided it was time to leave.
But as he got up, Dawn grabbed his hand. She looked up at him with eyes that begged him to stay.
Silva couldn’t see the mature woman anymore; all that was there now was a child that wanted someone with her.
“I’m still a kid. Spending the night in the room of a woman doesn’t sound right,” Silva said.
“Please, just this once,” she said.
Silva stared at her. The man in his body screamed at him to stay, overshadowing the small voice that tried to tell him to leave.
‘Whatever, man. Fuck it. Whatever happens, happens. No regrets, no looking back,’ Silva decided.
So they lay in the bed, and the night came. Dawn snuggled up to him, sleeping like a little lamb.
On the other hand, Silva was heating up. There was a wolf lady right next to him.
In his past life, everyone had a fantasy about a cat lady, a wolf lady, or something like that.
They may not say it, but everyone has definitely thought about it. And now, here he was, living that fantasy. freёweɓnovel.com
He couldn’t control his body. He heated up from the stimulation and slowly closed his legs to stop his little friend from poking out.
He cursed the rapid development of children in this world. Unlike Earth, fourteen was considered adulthood here, and children grew faster due to Mana.
Silva slowly passed the night without a wink of sleep. His eyes were wide open as he watched Dawn sleep. From time to time, she muttered something in a cute manner and held onto Silva tighter than before.
Her tail would wag from time to time and hit the bed, while her ears perked up and down quickly in random patterns.
As she slept, she was the epitome of cuteness, and Silva was barely holding on to his sanity.

The day of the raid finally arrived, and all adventurers of B-rank and many of the C-rank were getting ready to go.
Silva and Dawn also got ready and left the inn. As they walked, Silva noticed a spring in her steps, like she was lighter and full of energy.
‘I guess she hasn’t been resting well enough for some time,’ Silva thought.
The raid would start when the leaders of the Ribest town adventurers and the Blacklight town adventurer’s leader arrived at the labyrinth, along with the people raiding.
As for Ribest town, the leader was Silva, and since they all knew Silva and what he was capable of, they had no issues with it.
The same could not be said for the Blacklight City adventurers because when they saw Silva arrive at the labyrinth, one of them tried to chase him away.
“Why, why, why? Why do fools keep coming my way?” Silva asked out loud in a tired voice.
The adventurer got pissed and wanted to attack Silva, but he felt lots of killing gazes on him. He looked at the Ribest adventurers.
They were all looking at him with murderous intent.
The leader of the Blacklight group came forward. He wore black armor with a two-handed sword on his back. His hair was white and flowing all the way to his back.
He had a well-carved face. Silva was sure that this man would be a very popular model if he was from Earth.
Silva didn’t fall behind look-wise, actually. It was hard to find a person as good-looking as him, but he wasn’t aware of this; he just lived his life.
“From how the adventurers reacted just now, should I presume you are the leader?” the man asked as he stepped closer to Silva.
Dawn placed her hand on her sword and was ready to draw. If this man did anything careless, his head would roll.
The man glanced at Dawn and then frowned. It seemed he knew who Dawn was.
“Yes, I am the leader, B-ranked Silva,” he introduced himself.
The Blacklight adventurers started talking when they heard this. They kept talking about how Silva must either be lying or have some sort of secret.
Silva could already feel some envious gazes on him. These were the ones that would fall prey first.
