04 save the boy
Author POV.
Vero city, Sun 22:12 PM.
Cold and of course gripping. Maybe that's ... ahh No! Those are two words that deserve to be put into everyone's mind. Vero... a beautiful city in the style of London in the 18th century does look "beautiful" even if it's still in daytime, when it's night ... It can't be denied what the two words just mentioned look like. However, this metropolitan city is the only largest city in the Land of Wales. The city, which accounts for 10 million people and has a land area of 645,456 hectares, can make anyone think... "Ahh, this is the human world, and too big." And it is true that fact ... Wales is the paradise of the human race, and one of them is in Vero.
Despite having a vast land far away. There is still a wider forest and garden than a building, but it's still quite large. During peak hours, such as between morning and late afternoon, it is no different from Mally City. Trade, offices, to mugging as well… it makes no difference. The only difference was the spread of rumors about a mysterious monster invasion. It is a natural which is quite troublesome, because to the east of Vero ... is directly adjacent to the Land of Leaflets, the land of spirit monsters. No wonder the population of Vero City always decreases every year.
The frequent terror has made the townspeople anxious and afraid throughout the ages. They felt like transmigrating to their neighboring town, Mally. But the only reason why they can't go there is because of the hostile natural barrier. The Briggs Mountains and The Sleeping Beast's bottomless abyss, separated them in a matter of distance. If they were desperate, they would have to break through Leaflet territory and reverse the ravine and then pull over to the northeast of Mally.
How did Sam and his friends go there is a secret that cannot be known by humans, even fellow races. Teleportation magic is an alternative that can be used, although not many people dare to use it, because it can drain the user's life.

Muller POV.
"Hey! Mull! Looks like today's assignment is quite easy! ” Seth hit me with his silly remarks. Hah! I'm already dizzy thinking about him.
“Seth! Our enemy is the ... foxtroum, they may be weak, but don't underestimate them! ” I said.
"I know, Mull! Could it be that you are afraid if we are outnumbered? Hah? How ... you're afraid right?" Seth made fun of me. While the two of us were joking. There comes a boy who may be agent Elrick's adopted son. His name is Alto. Between me and agent Elrick... the two of us do meet very often, naturally because we are close friends. But on the other hand, I don't know what his business is and why he doesn't go to sleep... but it seems like he's interested to us.
“Brother Muller and Seth. Are you really human? " He asked innocently. Immediately, I was so surprised and confused about what to do with him... his innocent face really bewitched me... and at that moment Seth was immediately finished.
“Oops! ... Sorry! Sam called me. " Said Seth while jogging.
"Ehh, hey! Seth! ... don't! ... Ahhh ~ ”I exclaimed with a small sigh, I was forced to speak…,“ Ehm! ... Your name is Al, huh? How old are you? " I asked.
"15!" The answer. Honestly, I don't know what to say to him... but I can't ignore it.
“Hmm... maybe you won't believe this legend anyway... but I'm sure you have a lot to think about. Yes! To your sight we do look like ordinary humans, but we are actually spirits. " I answered, trying to scare him. But the first expression she put on really made me have to be honest.
"Spirit? What is that …? Some kind of ghost? Or…. ”
"We are the 'wolves' of the forest spirits who take care of you and nature." I answered, this time I'm serious.
"Humans ... and nature?"
“Yes... you and also this forest. It sounds weird, but... ”
“Cool! So Brother Muller, can I be like you? I think that… cool, can turn into a wolf and defeat enemies. Isn't that the coolest thing to be proud of? ” He asked suddenly while cutting my words. Honestly... his statement really shocked me.
"Hah! ... Ehh that! I…. ”
“Ohh… come on! Turn me into a wolf too, right? Either way... I'll go through. ” He answered softly, deliberately so that Sam and Seth wouldn't overhear him.
“Ehh…? That, I can't ... Alto! To be precise, I don't want to. "
"Huh ... why?"
"I don't want your future to be gloomy like ours ... there are many things outside your world that are more interesting to learn ... you want me to change you, then what about your parents ...,"
"My parents are both dead." he continued suddenly. Taking it seriously from a child's mouth was not something to be considered a joke. His sharp eyes gave off an extremely deep desire.
"My human world is too narrow, I want freedom, I want something different, something that can arouse my desire as well as my freedom." The answer. Those emerald green eyes --- glazed with torchlight --- seemed to give off something different.
I began to feel something very different about Alto. Even so, he still wanted to be a werewolf. I couldn't tell him that it was impossible for humans to want to be another race, the situation I'm in right now really makes me dizzy. Between wanting to change it and not, I feel like I have no choice at all... “Freedom in our world is something that cannot be reached by humans. If you insist on that, then you have to get rid of all your hatred and become one with nature. Are you willing to accept all of that with your human body? " I asked once again, before I finally agreed to change it.
"Yes I'm ready. Brother Muller. " he replied firmly softly. After she blurted out that way, I had no other choice but to change it.
“Well… it's fine, but I don't change you carelessly. First you have to be old enough and your determination must be unanimous, you can't help it if you are still influenced by your world. You can die... Al. And also... that person who changed you wasn't just anyone... he is the Alpha of all the small groups in our world. ” I answered.
"Ehh! … Is that so ?! ... Well never mind! If indeed I'm still not 20 years old. "
"Well, that's how it is ... your journey is still 5 years away ... please be excited." I exclaimed while trying to encourage him. The look on his face may look disappointed but I can feel that he is really just curious and with the intention of joking too.
“Okay... I'll excuse you. Brother Muller! Bye! " He said as he moved away and then he had disappeared again into the city. Letting out a harsh singh, I tried to stay calm and focused. To my surprise, in a remote area like this there are still children who dare to reveal their true nature and want to do such dangerous things. While walking towards Sam's gang and the others, I glanced at my right and Seth was beside me again.
"You bastard! ... Leaving me alone in front of that brat... okay, next chance I don't want to pay. ” My protest.
"Sorry ~ because I feel awkward when there are small children, especially babies ... but it seems I heard something interesting now, what did you say to him?"
"I'm straightforward. And you want to know what he wants? "
"Huh what?"
"He wants to be our member!"
"What? A new Member…? Ohh yeah! " Happy Seth. To the point of making Sam and Retno shocked by his screams.
“Don't be happy just yet… you idiot! That's a big problem for him…. ”
“You think... just because he's still an ordinary kid? Ohh, come on! We can either count on Sam or else Mally does it. There is nothing to worry about... well, if there is, it depends on his will. ” Connect Seth. I just responded with a grin, trying to forget about it and trying not to make a big deal out of it.
🐺🐺🐺
Sam POV. (Point of view) [Note: The dialogue in sign of ([...]) is the language of the wolf.]
After the two of us agreed to sort this out, Agent Louis came back with another request. Since this outbreak was very disturbing and unsettling, he asked me to make a kind of "fence" barrier. At first I was confused because the city of Vero itself already has a very strong natural fence, so there is no need to bother making a fence. But after looking at Vero's geography, I was wrong. To the northeast, Vero has been separated by a forest which is in direct contact with the Leaflet territory. So if a sudden invasion came, they would pass through the forest and rush into the city through the gates.
Seeing that, I asked Muller and Seth to put a bounding mark. At first agent Louis was surprised by the two of them, because without any tools they had gone through the darkness of the forest. I just tolerate the feelings he is experiencing, because he is the only human here (his men are somewhere ...)
10 minutes later, the two of them had finished marking the barrier. At that time, agent Louis immediately asked "form" Instead of the barrier ...
"Ehh? What did you do? Bolt? How come it's finished so fast. " Asked Louis.
"Just ... pee!" Muller and Seth answered simultaneously. For a moment I chuckled amused, you can imagine what Louis's expression would look like when he heard him. Louis looked at me in confusion. Then I started explaining to him why we did this.
“All of Leaflet Country's inhabitants are spirits. They are very sensitive to smells, if they smell the barrier we marked, they will run away and think this is the territory of another race. " I explained. Louis finally nodded in understanding while laughing in surprise. Making jokes at a time like this is something unnatural and quite disturbing, but Louis accepts it gracefully, as long as we seriously want to protect, they will not hesitate with our presence.
CRACK! CRUTCH! the faint sound of straw and twigs broke the silence of the morning. Soon Muller and I were on full alert. The silence was terrifying, imagine! There was no sound there except for the broken branch just now - the sound echoed - as if hearing a scale bouncing off the orchestra wall.
I vaguely felt... there was a very heavy movement in front of us, about 20 meters away, a black shadow and a flash of green light (a foxtroum's trademark)... “Mull! Try pointing the flashlight at the big oak tree ... I've been curious, like there is something under the tree. " My orders and Muller also highlight the super bright 32000 lumens flashlight towards the tree and ...,
“Ho… holy s ** t! foxtroum! Mull... chase! ” I was so shocked after seeing it so clearly, there it is! the monsters we were looking for.
"Sam I changed!" He said while running.
“No problem... I allow it. Hurry up and kill that monster while it's still silent. ” My orders, I really want to help him ... but beside me is agent Louis, I couldn't leave him alone.
“Sam! Go on and help Muller! Guarding Louis I'll do it. " Anna's suggestion.
"Thanks" I said, then I went straight to Muller in the shape of my wolf. I could see Louis' face of fear and confusion, when I saw Muller and I suddenly turned into wolves and ran after foxtroum. Even though he was under Anna's guard, I realized that Louis wasn't the only human being with us.
"Hah! Jeez... Sam! There's a kid there! ... Hurry up and save him ~ ”Anna shouted hysterically and scared.
[ “Grrr! ... What is that human doing... it's just annoying. ” ] I muttered with a small growl. Trying to run as fast as possible and approach the boy, because right behind him is a foxtroum ready to steal his soul.
[ “Mull! ... You take care of the other ... foxtroum... I have to focus on that brat. ” ] My orders.
[ “What the f ** k! That kid… if I'm not mistaken. Hey Sam! Wait... let me…. ” ] The protest. I was so confused by the current situation, Muller ran quickly over to me and then unexpected events occurred.
The two of us immediately fell right at the boy. Accidentally... I bit the boy's left arm, while Muller managed to kill foxtroum. Ohh shit... I have made a very fatal mistake.
[ "Muller ... you!" ] I turned towards Muller and the wild side began to overpower me.
[ "Oh no! Sam goes mad. " ] Muller muttered inwardly as he walked back from me.
🐺🐺🐺
Author POV.
A fight between Sam and Muller ensues. The number of ... foxtroum killed was around eight, with the help of Seth who had arrived before their fight. They have successfully completed the mission, but the situation of the boy who was bitten by Sam is a different story.
"Why the two of them?" Asked Seth while throwing the sprite at Anna.
“Sam accidentally bit the boy, because Muller pushed him down. Let's help that brat while we can. ” Anna's suggestion. Seth, who had known the boy from the start, immediately pretended not to know. Indeed, Seth was an unconcerned bastard.
"Do you know this kid, Agent Louis?"
"Oh no! Oh, my God! He is Mr. Elrick's adopted son, his name is Alto. Jeez... what should I tell him ?! ” Anxious Louis while kneeling beside Al.
“Hmm... agent Elrick huh. Okay Louis! can we bring this child? Meanwhile we treated him and healed the bleeding as well. " Said Anna explained.
Louis was stunned by two things. First he was not sure he wanted to let Alto go with Sam, because as he knew that Sam was not an ordinary human and also Alto was part of the population of Vero. And secondly, the problems faced by the Vero people have now been resolved ... with the foxtroum carcass being deliberately placed near the boundary stake (meaning that the other ... foxtroum are reluctant to invade again), Louis thought ... maybe this is enough, remembering that Sam and three other friends have contributed to protecting Vero.
Together with Sheriff Mike who had returned to the location and all of his remaining men, Anna and Seth then left and saw Mike with a grateful smile ... "See you again, Mike!" Said Anna, while changing her form and immediately disappeared deep into the forest with Seth. Now Anna and Seth must race against time ... in order to save the boy.
🐺🐺🐺
~~ One hour later, Anna and Seth at that time had arrived at the meadows forest ahead of Sam and Muller. You can read the difference between time and place after seeing Anna and Muller POVs~~
Anna POV (point of view) in Meadows Forest, 7 kilometers before the Guild headquarters.
I feel so sad. It was like seeing my little brother myself. The sharp scent of blood from Alto's wound pierced my kiss, so I asked Seth to carry him. If so... the possibility that Alto will change is also inevitable.
"Anna ... actually this kid ..." Said Seth trying to explain while we were still running. Then Seth told him at length, I could hardly believe him.
"What? ... He wants to be our member? ” I shouted, I almost woke up Al.
"Uhh ... slow down your voice! Later Sam will hear. " Said Seth while holding his forefinger in his mouth.
“Jeez... Seth! I mean ... why did you get that far? He's still a kid ... death is clear to him. " I added.
"I'm also confused, Anna… But we have to help him first before he tells us why. I really want it ... if he can be friends with us and do our daily life together. Because of that... I think you agree with me too. ” Seth added in a somewhat pitiful voice, maybe he was trying to beg me to heal this boy. Hahh! ... Really! Men are not reliable.
While we continued to run and avoid the branches, I accidentally saw his ridiculous face. so annoying to look at! But after glancing at Alto's innocent face... my heart immediately melted. His face was very much like my sister's --- driven by my concern and compassion --- despite being annoyed at being told by Seth, still! I have to help him.
"Seth!"
"Yes ... Madam?" Asked Seth with a grin (as if mocking) at me.
"Semifreddo one with soft cream on top, okay?"
“I'll prepare one minute after arriving at Mally's headquarters. I promise, the White Fur! " Crap Seth. The nickname 'White Fur' really deserves me ... because I'm a snow white wolf.
"Heh! ... come on! We leave Sam and Muller. Until they can't catch us anymore. " I said. then the two of us sped off in wolf form.
🐺🐺🐺
--- Meanwhile... at Sam and Muller's place ---
Muller POV (point of view)
Finally! Sam has agreed to make the boy our new member. Phew! I almost failed to convince him, because for nearly half an hour we had to wrestle in the forest and wrestle in our hearts, until finally we decided to go back to Mally's headquarters. Still in the form of a wolf... While we were walking treading paws in the forest, we still had time to joke... even though the reality was not like that.
[ “Ehehehe! ... Sam was still in good shape, even after I dropped it into the abyss of The Sleeping Beast. ” ]
[ “If you ask for a fight... it's better to get to headquarters first. I still can't believe what you said earlier. "]
[ “That's true... you can ask Seth. He also doesn't mind with him. "]
[ "Using me to change him ... you crazy Mull, if he dies how do we take responsibility?"]
[ "About that you don't need to worry. He had already passed the first stage with that belief. I'm sure he will be fine later. "]
[ "He's Mr. Elrick's adopted son, right? As if we can adopt it. Besides, we know that…. ”]
[ “Seth will take care of the matter. Take it easy, he is also reliable. After all, we have Anna on our side. "]
[ “Hmm... okay. Anyway, I don't want to know your business. I give up. "]
[ "Ehehehehe ... Sam gave up? It was true... Sam only lost when it came to debate. ”]
[ “Muller! Grrrhh…. ”] Sam pounced on me until we fell again to the bottom of the abyss.
🐺🐺🐺
For nearly two hours, we finally arrived at Mally's headquarters. When I got there I saw a group of guild members coming to gather around the base of the headquarters, there I also saw Anna kneeling while healing the boy.
“Ohh... finally the wolf duo who have been waiting for are coming. Hey! ... Anna! They have come here. " Shouted Seth.
"Ahh ... Sam come here!" Anna orders. Sam could only lick his lips and come closer, when he came, automatically everyone gave him a way. If I describe it --- even though it doesn't stand on its two feet --- it's already 2 meters tall, Sam is a pretty big werewolf compared to a Grizzly bear.
[ “Hey… Seth! What's wrong with that kid again? ... Is he still in pain? ”] I asked.
“Anna is confused by the scar. The wound wasn't only when he bit it, but there was a foxtroum bite on his arm as well. " Obviously Seth.
"Which part are you biting? Upper right or lower left arm? " Asked Anna.
[ "Lower left arm." ] Replied Sam. After a moment Anna complained.
"Geez! ... The rabies is so strong! Hey Sam! When was the last time you brushed your teeth. " Anna's teasing continued with the laughter of the crowd.
[ “You told me to come closer just to say that? ... Of course every day I always... ”] Sam looked shocked at Anna's review, then he calmly lied to Anna, I can explain... actually he never brushes.
“Fufufufu... Anna! When was the last time he brushed? Mull and I were the only ones who borrowed the Guild's restroom for brushes... while he was always sleeping on a chair himself. Ahahaha! ” Connect Seth.
[ “Seth! … damn you."]
"Lol @ U, clumsily Alpha!"
“Okay, okay... fine! He will wake up after I give him morphine. Mull, when he realizes take him in front of Mally, okay ?! I'm tired ... "
"Okay ... fine!" I replied while carrying Alto and bringing him into the room. Taking too long in wolf form gave my head a headache, so before taking it I was back to normal. Seth came over to Anna and whispered something.
“White Fur! Your Semifreddo is in the fridge... I've prepared it. Thanks for healing this poor boy. " Said Seth, but was ignored. Anna immediately entered the headquarters, you could see on her face a huge feeling of fatigue. Looks like she's going to rest all day long.
There it is. That day the four of us took turns guarding Alto for a whole week, we had to handle the healing very carefully, because werewolf bite wounds were very painful and could be life threatening. In its first week, his body has started to respond. If it weren't for Anna's help, it looks like Alto would be in a coma for up to a month.
Author POV.
Vero city, Sun 22:12 PM.
Cold and of course gripping. Maybe that's ... ahh No! Those are two words that deserve to be put into everyone's mind. Vero... a beautiful city in the style of London in the 18th century does look "beautiful" even if it's still in daytime, when it's night ... It can't be denied what the two words just mentioned look like. However, this metropolitan city is the only largest city in the Land of Wales. The city, which accounts for 10 million people and has a land area of 645,456 hectares, can make anyone think... "Ahh, this is the human world, and too big." And it is true that fact ... Wales is the paradise of the human race, and one of them is in Vero.
Despite having a vast land far away. There is still a wider forest and garden than a building, but it's still quite large. During peak hours, such as between morning and late afternoon, it is no different from Mally City. Trade, offices, to mugging as well… it makes no difference. The only difference was the spread of rumors about a mysterious monster invasion. It is a natural which is quite troublesome, because to the east of Vero ... is directly adjacent to the Land of Leaflets, the land of spirit monsters. No wonder the population of Vero City always decreases every year.

If they were desperate, they would have to break through Leaflet territory and reverse the ravine and then pull over to the northeast of Mally.
How did Sam and his friends go there is a secret that cannot be known by humans, even fellow races. Teleportation magic is an alternative that can be used, although not many people dare to use it, because it can drain the user's life.

Muller POV.
"Hey! Mull! Looks like today's assignment is quite easy! ” Seth hit me with his silly remarks. Hah! I'm already dizzy thinking about him.
“Seth! Our enemy is the ... foxtroum, they may be weak, but don't underestimate them! ” I said.
"I know, Mull! Could it be that you are afraid if we are outnumbered? Hah? How ... you're afraid right?" Seth made fun of me. While the two of us were joking. There comes a boy who may be agent Elrick's adopted son. His name is Alto. Between me and agent Elrick... the two of us do meet very often, naturally because we are close friends. But on the other hand, I don't know what his business is and why he doesn't go to sleep... but it seems like he's interested to us.
“Brother Muller and Seth. Are you really human? " He asked innocently. Immediately, I was so surprised and confused about what to do with him... his innocent face really bewitched me... and at that moment Seth was immediately finished.
“Oops! ... Sorry! Sam called me. " Said Seth while jogging.
"Ehh, hey! Seth! ... don't! ... Ahhh ~ ”I exclaimed with a small sigh, I was forced to speak…,“ Ehm! ... Your name is Al, huh? How old are you? " I asked.
"15!" The answer. Honestly, I don't know what to say to him... but I can't ignore it.
“Hmm... maybe you won't believe this legend anyway... but I'm sure you have a lot to think about. Yes! To your sight we do look like ordinary humans, but we are actually spirits. " I answered, trying to scare him. But the first expression she put on really made me have to be honest.
"Spirit? What is that …? Some kind of ghost? Or…. ”
"We are the 'wolves' of the forest spirits who take care of you and nature." I answered, this time I'm serious.
"Humans ... and nature?"
“Yes... you and also this forest. It sounds weird, but... ”
“Cool! So Brother Muller, can I be like you? I think that… cool, can turn into a wolf and defeat enemies. Isn't that the coolest thing to be proud of? ” He asked suddenly while cutting my words. Honestly... his statement really shocked me.
"Hah! ... Ehh that! I…. ”
“Ohh… come on! Turn me into a wolf too, right? Either way... I'll go through. ” He answered softly, deliberately so that Sam and Seth wouldn't overhear him.
“Ehh…? That, I can't ... Alto! To be precise, I don't want to. "
"Huh ... why?"
"I don't want your future to be gloomy like ours ... there are many things outside your world that are more interesting to learn ... you want me to change you, then what about your parents ...,"
"My parents are both dead." he continued suddenly. Taking it seriously from a child's mouth was not something to be considered a joke. His sharp eyes gave off an extremely deep desire.
"My human world is too narrow, I want freedom, I want something different, something that can arouse my desire as well as my freedom." The answer. Those emerald green eyes --- glazed with torchlight --- seemed to give off something different.
I began to feel something very different about Alto. Even so, he still wanted to be a werewolf. I couldn't tell him that it was impossible for humans to want to be another race, the situation I'm in right now really makes me dizzy. Between wanting to change it and not, I feel like I have no choice at all... “Freedom in our world is something that cannot be reached by humans. If you insist on that, then you have to get rid of all your hatred and become one with nature. Are you willing to accept all of that with your human body? " I asked once again, before I finally agreed to change it.
"Yes I'm ready. Brother Muller. " he replied firmly softly. After she blurted out that way, I had no other choice but to change it.
“Well… it's fine, but I don't change you carelessly. First you have to be old enough and your determination must be unanimous, you can't help it if you are still influenced by your world. You can die... Al. And also... that person who changed you wasn't just anyone... he is the Alpha of all the small groups in our world. ” I answered.
"Ehh! … Is that so ?! ... Well never mind! If indeed I'm still not 20 years old. "
"Well, that's how it is ... your journey is still 5 years away ... please be excited." I exclaimed while trying to encourage him. The look on his face may look disappointed but I can feel that he is really just curious and with the intention of joking too.
“Okay... I'll excuse you. Brother Muller! Bye! " He said as he moved away and then he had disappeared again into the city. Letting out a harsh singh, I tried to stay calm and focused. To my surprise, in a remote area like this there are still children who dare to reveal their true nature and want to do such dangerous things. While walking towards Sam's gang and the others, I glanced at my right and Seth was beside me again.

"Sorry ~ because I feel awkward when there are small children, especially babies ... but it seems I heard something interesting now, what did you say to him?"
"I'm straightforward. And you want to know what he wants? "
"Huh what?"
"He wants to be our member!"
"What? A new Member…? Ohh yeah! " Happy Seth. To the point of making Sam and Retno shocked by his screams.
“Don't be happy just yet… you idiot! That's a big problem for him…. ”
“You think... just because he's still an ordinary kid? Ohh, come on! We can either count on Sam or else Mally does it. There is nothing to worry about... well, if there is, it depends on his will. ” Connect Seth. I just responded with a grin, trying to forget about it and trying not to make a big deal out of it.

After the two of us agreed to sort this out, Agent Louis came back with another request. Since this outbreak was very disturbing and unsettling, he asked me to make a kind of "fence" barrier.

"Just ... pee!" Muller and Seth answered simultaneously. For a moment I chuckled amused, you can imagine what Louis's expression would look like when he heard him. Louis looked at me in confusion. Then I started explaining to him why we did this.
“All of Leaflet Country's inhabitants are spirits. They are very sensitive to smells, if they smell the barrier we marked, they will run away and think this is the territory of another race.

Making jokes at a time like this is something unnatural and quite disturbing, but Louis accepts it gracefully, as long as we seriously want to protect, they will not hesitate with our presence.
CRACK! CRUTCH! the faint sound of straw and twigs broke the silence of the morning. Soon Muller and I were on full alert. The silence was terrifying, imagine! There was no sound there except for the broken branch just now - the sound echoed - as if hearing a scale bouncing off the orchestra wall.

“Ho… holy s ** t! foxtroum! Mull... chase! ” I was so shocked after seeing it so clearly, there it is! the monsters we were looking for.
"Sam I changed!" He said while running.
“No problem... I allow it. Hurry up and kill that monster while it's still silent. ” My orders, I really want to help him ... but beside me is agent Louis, I couldn't leave him alone.

[ “Grrr! ... What is that human doing... it's just annoying. ” ] I muttered with a small growl. Trying to run as fast as possible and approach the boy, because right behind him is a foxtroum ready to steal his soul.
[ “Mull! ... You take care of the other ... foxtroum... I have to focus on that brat. ” ] My orders.
[ “What the f ** k! That kid… if I'm not mistaken. Hey Sam! Wait... let me…. ” ] The protest. I was so confused by the current situation, Muller ran quickly over to me and then unexpected events occurred.
The two of us immediately fell right at the boy. Accidentally... I bit the boy's left arm, while Muller managed to kill foxtroum. Ohh shit... I have made a very fatal mistake.
[ "Muller ... you!" ] I turned towards Muller and the wild side began to overpower me.
[ "Oh no! Sam goes mad. " ] Muller muttered inwardly as he walked back from me.

A fight between Sam and Muller ensues. The number of ... foxtroum killed was around eight, with the help of Seth who had arrived before their fight. They have successfully completed the mission, but the situation of the boy who was bitten by Sam is a different story.
"Why the two of them?" Asked Seth while throwing the sprite at Anna.
“Sam accidentally bit the boy, because Muller pushed him down. Let's help that brat while we can. ” Anna's suggestion. Seth, who had known the boy from the start, immediately pretended not to know. Indeed, Seth was an unconcerned bastard.
"Do you know this kid, Agent Louis?"
"Oh no! Oh, my God! He is Mr. Elrick's adopted son, his name is Alto. Jeez... what should I tell him ?! ” Anxious Louis while kneeling beside Al.
“Hmm... agent Elrick huh. Okay Louis! can we bring this child? Meanwhile we treated him and healed the bleeding as well. " Said Anna explained.
Louis was stunned by two things. First he was not sure he wanted to let Alto go with Sam, because as he knew that Sam was not an ordinary human and also Alto was part of the population of Vero. And secondly, the problems faced by the Vero people have now been resolved ... with the foxtroum carcass being deliberately placed near the boundary stake (meaning that the other ... foxtroum are reluctant to invade again), Louis thought ... maybe this is enough, remembering that Sam and three other friends have contributed to protecting Vero.
Together with Sheriff Mike who had returned to the location and all of his remaining men, Anna and Seth then left and saw Mike with a grateful smile ... "See you again, Mike!" Said Anna, while changing her form and immediately disappeared deep into the forest with Seth. Now Anna and Seth must race against time ... in order to save the boy.

~~ One hour later, Anna and Seth at that time had arrived at the meadows forest ahead of Sam and Muller. You can read the difference between time and place after seeing Anna and Muller POVs~~
Anna POV (point of view) in Meadows Forest, 7 kilometers before the Guild headquarters.
I feel so sad. It was like seeing my little brother myself. The sharp scent of blood from Alto's wound pierced my kiss, so I asked Seth to carry him. If so... the possibility that Alto will change is also inevitable.
"Anna ... actually this kid ..." Said Seth trying to explain while we were still running. Then Seth told him at length, I could hardly believe him.
"What? ... He wants to be our member? ” I shouted, I almost woke up Al.
"Uhh ... slow down your voice! Later Sam will hear. " Said Seth while holding his forefinger in his mouth.
“Jeez... Seth! I mean ... why did you get that far? He's still a kid ... death is clear to him. " I added.
"I'm also confused, Anna… But we have to help him first before he tells us why. I really want it ... if he can be friends with us and do our daily life together. Because of that... I think you agree with me too. ” Seth added in a somewhat pitiful voice, maybe he was trying to beg me to heal this boy. Hahh! ... Really! Men are not reliable.
While we continued to run and avoid the branches, I accidentally saw his ridiculous face. so annoying to look at! But after glancing at Alto's innocent face... my heart immediately melted. His face was very much like my sister's --- driven by my concern and compassion --- despite being annoyed at being told by Seth, still! I have to help him.
"Seth!"
"Yes ... Madam?" Asked Seth with a grin (as if mocking) at me.
"Semifreddo one with soft cream on top, okay?"
“I'll prepare one minute after arriving at Mally's headquarters. I promise, the White Fur! " Crap Seth. The nickname 'White Fur' really deserves me ... because I'm a snow white wolf.
"Heh! ... come on! We leave Sam and Muller. Until they can't catch us anymore. " I said. then the two of us sped off in wolf form.
🐺🐺🐺
--- Meanwhile... at Sam and Muller's place ---
Muller POV (point of view)
Finally! Sam has agreed to make the boy our new member. Phew! I almost failed to convince him, because for nearly half an hour we had to wrestle in the forest and wrestle in our hearts, until finally we decided to go back to Mally's headquarters. Still in the form of a wolf... While we were walking treading paws in the forest, we still had time to joke... even though the reality was not like that.
[ “Ehehehe! ... Sam was still in good shape, even after I dropped it into the abyss of The Sleeping Beast. ” ]
[ “If you ask for a fight... it's better to get to headquarters first. I still can't believe what you said earlier. "]
[ “That's true... you can ask Seth. He also doesn't mind with him. "]
[ "Using me to change him ... you crazy Mull, if he dies how do we take responsibility?"]
[ "About that you don't need to worry. He had already passed the first stage with that belief. I'm sure he will be fine later. "]
[ "He's Mr. Elrick's adopted son, right? As if we can adopt it. Besides, we know that…. ”]
[ “Seth will take care of the matter. Take it easy, he is also reliable. After all, we have Anna on our side. "]
[ “Hmm... okay. Anyway, I don't want to know your business. I give up. "]
[ "Ehehehehe ... Sam gave up? It was true... Sam only lost when it came to debate. ”]
[ “Muller! Grrrhh…. ”] Sam pounced on me until we fell again to the bottom of the abyss.

For nearly two hours, we finally arrived at Mally's headquarters. When I got there I saw a group of guild members coming to gather around the base of the headquarters, there I also saw Anna kneeling while healing the boy.
“Ohh... finally the wolf duo who have been waiting for are coming. Hey! ... Anna! They have come here. " Shouted Seth.
"Ahh ... Sam come here!" Anna orders. Sam could only lick his lips and come closer, when he came, automatically everyone gave him a way. If I describe it --- even though it doesn't stand on its two feet --- it's already 2 meters tall, Sam is a pretty big werewolf compared to a Grizzly bear.
[ “Hey… Seth! What's wrong with that kid again? ... Is he still in pain? ”] I asked.
“Anna is confused by the scar. The wound wasn't only when he bit it, but there was a foxtroum bite on his arm as well. " Obviously Seth.
"Which part are you biting? Upper right or lower left arm? " Asked Anna.
[ "Lower left arm." ] Replied Sam. After a moment Anna complained.
"Geez! ... The rabies is so strong! Hey Sam! When was the last time you brushed your teeth. " Anna's teasing continued with the laughter of the crowd.
[ “You told me to come closer just to say that? ... Of course every day I always... ”] Sam looked shocked at Anna's review, then he calmly lied to Anna, I can explain... actually he never brushes.
“Fufufufu... Anna! When was the last time he brushed? Mull and I were the only ones who borrowed the Guild's restroom for brushes... while he was always sleeping on a chair himself. Ahahaha! ” Connect Seth.
[ “Seth! … damn you."]
"Lol @ U, clumsily Alpha!"
“Okay, okay... fine! He will wake up after I give him morphine. Mull, when he realizes take him in front of Mally, okay ?! I'm tired ... "
"Okay ... fine!" I replied while carrying Alto and bringing him into the room. Taking too long in wolf form gave my head a headache, so before taking it I was back to normal. Seth came over to Anna and whispered something.
“White Fur! Your Semifreddo is in the fridge... I've prepared it. Thanks for healing this poor boy. " Said Seth, but was ignored. Anna immediately entered the headquarters, you could see on her face a huge feeling of fatigue. Looks like she's going to rest all day long.
There it is. That day the four of us took turns guarding Alto for a whole week, we had to handle the healing very carefully, because werewolf bite wounds were very painful and could be life threatening. In its first week, his body has started to respond. If it weren't for Anna's help, it looks like Alto would be in a coma for up to a month.
