Evelyn's attack dealt a killing blow to the scout wolf, which caused the leader of the wolf pack to start investigating.

Using the camouflage ability that Noel often used, I immediately hid my presence along with my body odor that could not be sniffed by the wolf pack.

My disappearing body made Mio feel uncomfortable. This stealthy disguise technique made me look like I had disappeared beside Mio, but I remained beside her.

"Lily-sama, I feel jealous after seeing Lily-sama being able to master such a camouflage technique. If only I could control magical energy freely and not hated them, then I would also hide in a way like that," Mio grumbled a little who was now starting to look for another way to cover her body odor that could be sniffed by the wild wolf pack at any time.

Mio immediately headed to the top of the tallest tree and mixed her body odor with the sap of the tree trunk. That was the only way to blend in with nature and not leave a scent trail that could reveal her position.

In contrast to us, Evelyn and several young noble girls used the blood of the sharp-horned boar to spread. It gave a sharp sense of smell to the wolf pack to no avail.

"Eh, good tactic. It seems to be in Earl Timoti's military manual," I commented a little while starting to praise them for their clever actions that were able to take advantage of the situation.

Even to use the battlefield optimally, they had passed with satisfactory marks from me. The failure shown by them in the surprise attack only came from their muscle memory that suddenly shouted.

Replacing their main weapons with throwing knives, actually made their mouths quieter without giving away their presence through sound.

Before the wild wolf pack came, they immediately took several throwing knives that had penetrated several scout wolves' heads.

"Taking weapons that can still be looted to be reused, that was good survival instinct," continued my praise while assessing them.

I have to admit that their survival instincts in the wild are very high.

Not everyone can take the risk of looting disposable weapons to reuse them. The tactics used have also begun to develop after their previous failures.

From the darkness of the night like this, I can see Evelyn's well-honed leadership.

Is it related to her being the only daughter of the Earl Timoti family at this time?

"AAUUUU!!"

As my small mutter and thoughts drifted into an answer that caught my attention, a roar from a wolf pack broke the darkness of this night.

With limited preparation by time, the hunt was hunting each other.

Within the wolves' sharp sense of smell, they seemed to have smelled the blood of their wolf pack along with the scent of blood from the sharp-horned boar.

From the roar of the wolf pack, I could see Evelyn and several other noble girls had positioned themselves to attack in the darkness.

Their eyes which were used to seeing in the dark had hidden spots from the wolf pack's vision such as lying on wild grass and taking advantage of the visibility blocked by tree branches.

The distance between the wolf pack leader and Evelyn's group was getting closer.

Swiippp...

Skuuuuttt!!

"Hyyuukkk!!"

A first attack was opened by Evelyn, her throwing knife managed to knock down one of the scout wolves that had entered her attack range. The attack was quite stunning with the distance and darkness around it.

The moonlight that illuminated several wolf packs also became an easy target for the throwing knife attack.

Swiipppp...

Srruukkk...

"Huunngg!!"

The screams of the wolf pack that slowly began to die with the surprise attack had made the leader of the wild wolf pack aware of the hunt that was targeting wolf pack.

"AAAUUU!!" the roar of the wild wolf that pierced the night was heard again.

Unlike the previous attack which was careful, this attack was carried out aggressively by spreading out entire wolf pack to search for someone who had attacked them in the darkness.

Evelyn immediately gave a small code through a small whistle that was heard by the entire wolf pack and immediately headed towards the whistle.

"Haaahh... using a whistle when fighting a wolf pack that can hear well in the darkness like this?" continued my small comment while enjoying the panic experienced by Evelyn.

"Pretty good battlefield utilization... but failed by the whistle that can be heard by the enemy, I guess that has become an additional lesson for her."

"Now... how many additional lessons will be there..."

"Like... experiencing failure ambush like that several times?"

My gaze was fixed on Evelyn's group who panicked and started to let out screams as their hands pulled the hilt of their swords from their sheaths.

"Hiyyaaa!!"

"Hyyaaaa!!"

"Haaaarrrhhh!!"

At this moment, I could only pat my head with my palm and release my camouflage technique. With a sneak attack that turned into a barbaric intense attack like this, it seemed like there was no need to be careful with a pack of wild wolves like this.

"I think I'm out of words for this one, Mio," I muttered a little together with Mio who returned to my side after seeing me release my camouflage technique.

"Not only Lily-sama who is speechless, but I am also speechless after the sneak attack was successful but ended with a fairly crowded attack with screams like this," replied Mio who also gave her small assessment of Evelyn's group who were facing the pack of wild wolves.

"Should I confiscate their swords so that their actions will be more careful, Lily-sama?" continued Mio who gave an idea to confiscate their weapons.

"That's a good idea, but it will be a problem if something moves out of control. Like at this time..." I said in a calm tone and enjoyed the fight that was happening before my eyes.

The pack of wild wolves who had found out the position of their enemy immediately gave an attack that wanted to kill Evelyn's entire group, but it was thwarted by the stealth slime attack that was tasked with protecting them from the danger of death.

Slaassshhh...

Sppllaasshhh...

When one of the noble girls was almost grabbed by the wild wolf that was jumping towards her, it got a surprise attack from the stealth slime's water-cut magic chant.

The body of the wild wolf that was jumping in the air suddenly got cut in half and splashed blood on the noble girl.

The additional safe security made the military training into a long-term battle between Evelyn's group and the wild wolf pack until it ended with the death of their leader who was defeated by Evelyn.

Pingg!!

Tiinnngg!!

I could observe the fight between Evelyn and the leader of the wild wolf pack from a distance. Evelyn's changing sword attack technique only caused minor damage to the body of the wild wolf pack leader.

The shallow and imprecise attack only cornered Evelyn. She who was already exhausted and ran out of time to recharge her sword technique attack had to be assisted by a water cut attack that injured the leg of the wild wolf pack leader.

Slaasshhh...

"Kuuunnggg!!" the scream of the wild wolf leader was heard after all four of legs were hit by a water cut that made it difficult to stand using all four legs.

Evelyn realized that the assist attack was aimed at the wild wolf pack leader make it easier to defeat the wild wolf pack leader.

Her insulted and tarnished pride made her look like a military girl who was being pampered by me.

Evelyn's sword attack once again shot straight and stopped at an inappropriate distance. The energy in her body had run out and fatigue began to affect her grip on the blade of the sword that was almost falling.

Before Evelyn's sword fell, an attack from the water ball hit the back of the wolf pack leader and made the wolf pack leader body push to receive a stab from Evelyn's sharp sword.

Staabbb...

Kraasshh...

The victory that was filled with a lot of help made Evelyn bite her lip. Her hand trembled and released the grip of the sword that was still piercing the body of the wild wolf pack leader.

At the end of the fierce battle, the few remaining wild wolf packs immediately fled after their wolf pack leader had been defeated.

"AAAUUU!!"

With that loud howl, an emergency signal from the wild wolf pack had signaled to retreat.

Several other noble girls who were fighting the wild wolf pack began to feel relieved after the intensity of their fight stopped.

The exhausted body and the almost successful sneak attack tactic had caused Evelyn's second failure.

With a face covered in sweat and gasping for breath, I immediately approached Evelyn while using camouflage techniques.

The unheard footsteps and the air that didn't vibrate when I walked had shown the high-level stealth technique that Noel often used.

I walked leisurely towards Evelyn who was pulling her sword from the body of the dead wolf pack leader.

Standing in front of her body, I began to release my camouflage technique and asked Evelyn a question.

"Are you satisfied with such a humiliating victory?" I asked in a flat tone and showed my presence in front of Evelyn.

"Hyyaaak!! L-Lily-sama!!" Evelyn's body looked surprised by my presence which suddenly appeared in front of her.

From her facial expression alone, I could see the fatigue and humiliation that remained on Evelyn's facial expression.

Swiiisshhh...

Swaasshhh...

Together with the appearance of Mio beside me who used Sakura Dash and Sakura Vanish, it made her look like an assassin who appeared from the darkness.

Seeing Mio's sudden appearance, Evelyn chuckled.

"Haha... can I do such a elegant movements like that?" Evelyn asked with an expression that looked envious of Mio.

A face that looked envious after seeing someone else's greatness.

It made me want to give a little push that would make Evelyn develop even further in the future.

With a serious facial expression, I started to give Evelyn a cold and firm gaze.

"Evelyn, do you want to get stronger like Mio?" I asked in a cold tone and gave her a sharp gaze.

"L-Lily-sama?"

It seemed that my words had confused Evelyn.

"I'll ask you one more time, do you want to get stronger by swearing loyalty to me?" I asked once again with a serious expression on my face.

The question I gave seemed to sound like a hope that was too beautiful for Evelyn.

However, it was not a fake hope that was too beautiful for her.

Evelyn has great potential as a genius military leader and is blessed with abilities that are ready to develop at any time.

Currently, she is only hampered by an obstacle that makes it difficult for her to advance.

"O-Of course I want to grow stronger to be able to prove my worth to Lily-sama!" she replied with a loud shout and attracted the attention of the other noble girls.

"Quite a good answer, Evelyn. I like that answer..." along with the movement of my lips that approached Evelyn's lips, I gave a soft kiss on her lips.

In that kiss, I gave a Linked Ritual that would trigger Evelyn's development based on the blessing that my Goddess had given to create a harem of women.
