“You came . ”

“Yeah . This is Lehaty . Be nice . ”
When we entered the window to Rachel’s room, we found her in clothes made of fur . It was probably what she considered formal .
“That depends on your decision . ”
“Yeah, I know . That’s why I’m asking . ”
“So, you agree then?”
“Why not? I’m just going to think of it as changing my horse’s saddle . ”
Yes, that’s all it was . I was upgrading from Beowulf to Rachel . I would be given a more advanced version of the skills I already had . It was very game-like .
“But there was one thing that I was wondering about…”
“And what is that?”
“What exactly should I tell Beowulf when I meet him again?”
Overwriting his gift seemed like a very ungrateful way to repay a debt . And so that had been on my mind .
“Well, as for that, I shall tell him myself when I meet him again . And it should not be so long until I do . ”
“Really?”
“Aye . Well, that is my business . Now, hurry up and sit down . ”
We had all been standing all of this time . And so we frantically sat down on the cushions .
“Um, uhh…”
Lehaty mumbled as she looked questioningly at Rachel .
“What? What is it? Werewolf girl . ”
“I…are…are you the legendary wolf god?”
“Ahh, well, there are some who call me that… But I don’t know, I find it a little embarrassing . ”
“Ohh…!”
Now that Lehaty knew, her face lit up with a smile . Then she rolled over onto her back in front of Rachel . This was familiar . It was a pose of submission…
“Idiot! Stop! Stop this! And in such a place!”
“So-sorry…”

Both of them looked quite flustered as they sat back down . I guess something had not quite connected .
“So? When will Asagi become your thrall?”
“Oh, yes, yes . Here . ”
“Here?”
Rachel raised her hand .
“There!”
And then she swung it towards my cheek .
“Ooomph!!”
“Asagi!?”
“Woah!?”
As I was not on my guard, the impact of the hit sent me flying from the floor and into the paper doors behind me . It hurt…
“There . That is it!”
“Damn…damn…”
“Asagi, are you alright? Anything broken?”
I couldn’t see her, but I was quite sure that Rachel was standing close by with her arms crossed in front of her and nodding with satisfaction . I tried standing up with Daniela’s help, but I seemed to be stuck in the wooden frame of the sliding door .
The thing was heavy around my neck as my hands touched the floor . It was then that I saw that silver and green powder seemed to be coming from my hands .
“What’s this?”
“That is my gift to you . ”
I would have tilted my head in puzzlement if I could . The powder kept flowing . They glowed and then were absorbed into my body .
It reminded me of that time . When Beowulf had done the same thing to me in the forest . There had also been glowing dust that was sucked into me…
But he hadn’t hit me .
“So this is the gift of the god wolf…”
Unique skill ‘Legs of the God Wolf’ and ‘Eyes of the God Wolf . ’ I had newly acquired these two skills . Of course, the use of them had also been ingrained into me as well, so I was sure I could use them now if I had to .

“Alright, now that that’s done, you can help Lehaty . ”
“Yes, I will send her to where she wants to go . ”
Daniela helped me remove the door frame from my head and I turned to Lehaty .
“To be honest, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, but I’m glad it all worked out . ”
“Thank you, Asagi . I am glad that I met you . Now that I have met Rachel, I am very happy . ”
That was good .
“Good luck over there . ”
“Yes, thank you . You two take care . ”
“Mmm…yes . ”
I glanced over to Daniela . She looked a little red . It was cute .
“Well, you two are done here . Now leave . Go! Go!”
“Huh? I thought I’d at least watch Lehaty leave and wave goodbye…”
“Are you some kind of child? You will meet again . Now go!”
“Fi-fine…”
And so we were both chased out of the house . I didn’t understand it, but I would find out later .
About the pose of submission that beastkin did .
While not ideal, it did seem that I had succeeded in getting Lehaty sent to the island . …Probably . I would like to think so .
“Well, there is no point in worrying about it . We did what we could . ”
“…Yeah . And we’ll see her again some time . Maybe we can visit the island . ”
“Yes . ”
But first, it was off to the capital . I didn’t know what we would encounter next, but the two of us could make it together . I was sure of it .
It didn’t take long to reach the south gate from the abandoned village . It was just a straight path . But there would probably be more people passing through it in the time to come . The Loup-garou that had scared so many people was now gone . It had only been a girl who was tormented by her unfortunate nature . But only Daniela, I and Rachel knew of it .
I wanted to keep it that way . But how could I explain it? The south gate was already in sight . There was not much time left .
“Still…”
“Hm?”
Daniela looked at me . And so I asked her the thing that had been on my mind .
“I was told while leaving the south gate . Many people left to catch a glimpse of the Loup-garou, or to kill it . And not one of them had returned . ”
“Are you suggesting that Lehaty killed the Adventurers?”
That couldn’t be . Yes, she had the power to do it . But neither I nor Daniela felt that she was that kind of person .
“Then…is it someone else…?”
Before Daniela could answer this question, a voice interrupted us .
—ooooooOOOO…
Daniela immediately unsheathed her sword . As my spear was in the bag, I took out the Glampanzer instead .
“He-he-hey, what’s going on!?”
“Is it not obvious!?”
Daniela said frantically as she spread the range of Presence Detection .
“Lehaty was not the Loup-garou… There was another one!”
She shouted, and at the same time, pushed me away . I could do nothing but roll away as I saw it .
There was a giant wolf standing between me and Daniela . It had platinum fur and three tails .
“Beo…wulf…?”
“Oh? You know of me? Human . ”
Its eyes bore into me with hostility and murderous intent .
“That was a rude greeting for an old friend, don’t you think?”
“Old friend…? I do not know you . ”
Then Beowulf slammed his claws into the earth and howled .
“I just came to eliminate the source of the stench . Now die, human!!”
Silver and green wind swam around Beowulf’s legs . It was all very familiar to me . I had seen it so many times, but it wasn’t unique to me . I had forgotten .
“Tsk…!”
I knew it . I knew the speed . I should be able to dodge it .
“Oh? Dodging…then how about this!?”
The silver and green wind enveloped his three tails now as he swung them . Blades of wind were unleashed . I rarely used it, but I knew that move . And I knew its weakness .
I hit them from the side with my sword . This created additional wind and caused the blades to disperse . That was the weakness . I had once considered if I couldn’t incorporate the wind blades into my fighting style, and so I had run simulations . That’s how I found out about their weakness . It definitely made me use them less, which resulted in me using the kick more and more . There were times when I used them as a diversion, but overall, they were just not that reliable .
“Hmph . They were only wind blades . In that case…my claws and fangs…”
“Wait!”
I called as Beowulf tried to continue the fight . But he didn’t seem to want to talk .
“Have you really forgotten about me? Don’t you remember us making peace back in Fhiraldo?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about . And I do not know you . Or Fhiraldo . What I do know, is that I do not like you at all!”
Beowulf sprung forward, clearly having no intention of talking . It was then that an arrow wrapped in wind shot out towards his foot . Beowulf dodged it with ease and jumped backward .
“Asagi . He will not listen to you . ”
“But, Daniela…”
“Listen . Asagi . ”
She had drawn her bow and was ready to shoot again .
“That is not the Beowulf you know . We met a very different silver wolf . ”
“What…is-is that possible?”
The string was pulled tight .
“It is . And this is the true Loup-garou!”
And then she unleashed the arrow .
