Shepherds were occasionally mocked as children born between humans and animals. They spent much of their time in the fields and the mountains, and they held an eerie presence for humans who lived in towns.

But one only need to watch the shepherds’ skills once to understand that such a terrible prejudice also came from a certain species of admiration.

Just by waving around one staff, they could control an entire flock of sheep at their will.

“Ho! Come now! There shall be no running!”

Clang, clang, clang. The bell hanging at the end of the staff rang violently. Holo was not so much holding the stick as she was partially clinging to it. When she glared at the sheep toward the left that had tried to sneak off when she was watching those on her right, the unattended wards seized the opportunity to start meandering off, and when she yelled at them, the sheep right in front of her tried to wander away as well.

Holo busily ran back and forth, mud covering her up to her knees.

“You…foolish…!”

She seized a nearby sheep by the scruff of its neck, displaying the depth of her indignation. The unlucky specimen, which Holo held tightly with her fangs bared, cried as though pleading for its life. But since the flock was so large, the sheep at the edges decided it was irrelevant and resolutely continued trying to move about as they pleased.

Lawrence thought that keeping a flock of sheep together would be a piece of cake for Holo, an embodiment of a wolf. She must have thought the same.

It had become clear that was a mistake.

“Hah…hah…”

She breathed, her shoulders heaving, and gave a dry cough. Under the muddied bottom of her coat, the covering that protected her tail was so full it seemed ready to burst. The sheep would listen if she glared directly at them, but the moment she looked away, they forgot everything.

Not only did she just have two eyes, she was also heavily outnumbered.

“Holo, are you okay?”

Unable to ignore her, Lawrence called out to her, and she turned to glare at him, too.

If he asked if he should help her, then he would have to pay the price for hurting her pride.

“Ooohhh…Why do they not listen!”

She slammed the staff into the ground, but the flock gave her no heed as they sauntered off in all directions.

The incessant baa, baas must have been getting on her nerves, as he could clearly see the ears under her hood were stiff with rage.

She took such a deep breath that it almost looked like her body grew larger, and then she spoke like she was chanting a curse.

“Perhaps I should show you how frightening I can truly be?”

Lawrence was shocked—there was no way she would show her true form here, right?

At that moment, she looked like a frail girl just growing into her teenage years, but her true form was a gigantic wolf. If she transformed and bared her fangs to the sheep, they would not only tremble in fear but probably also drop dead on the spot.
