Belze’s gray tail flutters.

“But it’s all right.”

“How.. were you able to defeat that [Mutant Lil Bear]?”

Belze thought a lot.

If Dahyun had a secret she wanted to hide… wouldn’t it be a mistake? That’s what I thought. Therefore, Belze became even more cautious.

‘uh..?’

“What does that mean?”

“Belze, you weren’t the one who protected me.??”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by Belze’s question.

＇I definitely remember how desperately I tried to block it at the end..＇

When I opened my eyes after the battle with [Mutant Lilgom], I was lying down, hugged by Belze as if he had protected me. Of course… naked.

Fortunately, I had extra clothes with me, so I quickly changed and went to treat the fallen Belje.

Since it was definitely a habitat for [Mintra herb], I was able to immediately find the medicinal herb seen all over the area.

And then… I couldn’t sleep even a wink until Belje woke up and I didn’t let the monster come near me.

Strong.. Strong..

Again.

The more I try to retrieve forgotten memories, the more severe headache I feel.

＇It feels like something strange is coming out of my eyes..＇

A dizziness that is not easily felt spreads throughout my body, as if my eyeballs were popping out.

＂Ugh..!!＂

Immediately, I grab my right eye and try to block out the pain that surges in me.

＂All, all.. are you okay?＂

“okay. “I’m not going to ask.. Calm down.”

There was absolutely no malice in his actions to protect himself. Therefore, Belze, who could no longer see Dahin in terrible pain, decided not to ask about the situation.

Sigh..

Belje holds Dahuin so that he can rest on his shoulder so that he does not fall.

And then, slowly… very slowly, I stroke his head.

Sigh.. Sigh..

＂It’s all in the past.. It’s all over.＂

“Don’t think any more.”

How many minutes have passed like that?

We melted into the glow of this quiet forest.

Sigh.. Sigh..

Dahin’s hair, as dark as the night sky, was so soft.

It suddenly occurred to me that I might become addicted to this feeling.

In the meantime, many wolf-beast tribe males approached Belze as a mate.

But for her, being a male… is part of a painful memory.

That’s why I pushed it away and rejected it.

I needed to become even stronger.

Excited.. Excited..

However, this excitement shakes Kim Jong of Belje little by little.

Dahein remained vigilant for Belje, who collapsed from exhaustion after a full day.

Tiredness creeps in.

My heavy eyes close as I feel Belze’s hand gently stroking me.

＇Are all male humans originally this soft?

When I felt Dahyin’s warm warmth and breath slowly flowing over my shoulder.

Tuk..

Belze also falls asleep quietly, leaning against his soft head.

***

It was late in the morning while Belje and Dahuin were asleep.

＇This smells like blood.?＇

Belzab, who sensed their faintly spreading scent, gave a signal with a small hand gesture and immediately changed the direction of the {hunting party} beastmen and began to move.

＇Don’t be late..＇

On the way into {Deep in the Diggle Forest}, Belzab and {the hunting party} discovered a large group of monsters running away from something.

If these monsters had been ignored and they had headed towards Belze and Dahyin, it was clear that the {Wolf Beast Tribe} in {Diggle Forest} would end up in a dangerous situation.

In an urgent situation.

The moment of having to choose again came to Belzab.

Should I have ignored this large number of monsters and run to save my daughter and Da-hein?

So what about the tribe members…?

Clearly, if this amount of monsters were moving in large numbers, something might have happened {deep in the Diggle Forest}.

that day..

The memory of being overwhelmed by emotions and losing everything, like when she lost her lifelong partner, makes Beljav more rational.

A cow is sacrificed for the greater good.

Those are truly terrible words.

As the mother of a child and the chieftain of the {Wolf Beast Tribe}, Belzab had to make a choice.

Because I trusted those children, I ended up wasting a day trying to stop the movement of a large number of monsters.

Cracking…

Belzab’s {Three-legged Foot} is producing a sense of speed that is invisible to the naked eye.

Sniff…

The more I followed the scent, the more I could feel the scent of blood lingering in the air.

I began to have bad premonitions from time to time.

I can’t forget the painful memories of that day.

dump.!!

The bloody central point that we barely arrived at.

The body of a monster with dark brown fur that appeared to be a [mutant Lil Bear] was coldly dead with its head cut off.

‘It’s cruel…’

Just looking at the surrounding terrain, you can see how fierce and desperate the fight was.

The surrounding area is strangely damaged, without any healthy trees.

An incredible amount of blood was clearly visible between the cavernous ground, as if the area had been torn apart by a huge excavator.

＇It hasn’t hardened yet..＇

Sticky..

And one of the {hunting party} beastmen who was exploring the surrounding area pulls out a magic stone that emits heterogeneous magical power from inside the corpse of a [mutant Lil Bear] that has already lost its life.

Dent.!!

just as expected..

At the same time, the body and head of [Mutant Lil Bear] turned into dust and disappeared without maintaining its shape.

Passs..

It’s like water boiling and steam rising.

＇What is this.. magic stone.?＇

The attention of all {hunting party} beastmen was drawn to the opaque black-brown magic stone that seemed to suck their consciousness just by looking at it.

＇??????＇

Belzab, who sensed an ominous yet horrifying magical power, immediately intercepted it.

Taaa!!

“Don’t be distracted and look for Dahin and Belje.”

Feeling Belzab’s powerful magic, the {Hunting Party} immediately regained their dazed consciousness and dispersed in all directions to search for them.

＇Definitely.. I felt this magic somewhere.＇

＇I need to find out.＇

An instinct to crave magical power that any beastman possessing a monster’s magic stone can necessarily feel.

Suddenly..

The magic stone of [Mutant Lil’ Bear] placed on Beljav’s hand gradually turned black, and soon its ominous magic power disappeared, as if it had been completely exhausted.

＇As expected, radiating magical power… doesn’t suit my body.’

For a beast of Beljav’s level, it is easier than you think to reach the level where you can release your magic to the outside. Of course, this is from her perspective, having gone through countless experiences.

However, it could not use {magic} that could shape magical power like a human, and it was simply offset by overlaying the magical power contained in the magic stone of the [Mutant Lil Bear].

Throbbing.. Throbbing..

Belzab immediately came to his senses and firmly grasped his throbbing right hand.

Quad deuk..

＇I can’t believe that the little magical power left is trying to invade in reverse..＇

＇I barely managed to block it, but this… is still dangerous.＇

Belzab’s brow furrows. The memory of the war, which I had barely forgotten after such a long time, seemed to leave a bitter taste lingering in my mouth.

“I found the chief.”

***

The {hunting party} beastmen who found Dahuin and Velze not far away couldn’t help but smile happily at the sight of them sleeping on each other’s shoulders.

Beljav, who had been very worried about not being on good terms with each other until recently, seemed to be a bit disturbed by the sight, and let out a deep sigh.

“after..”

“Stay here today and leave tomorrow.”

The {hunting party} beastmen, who immediately responded to Belzab’s words and confirmed that there were no monsters nearby, each sat down on a tree and had a good night’s sleep.

So that whenever a battle breaks out, you can react and move immediately.

***

The frost in the deep forest announces the dazzling dawn.

On top of a towering tree, Belje and Dahuin, leaning against each other and sleeping soundly, cling to each other, perhaps because of the cool early morning air, and quietly share each other’s warmth.

Shivering…

＂Sweet!!!!!＂

just as expected.

Da-heein, who could not hold back her sobbing and shaking, sneezed refreshingly.

Animals and plants are resting on the trees! It spreads in all directions… and soon falls backwards indefinitely.

Shake..

“uh.?”

As if my whole body was reacting to the feeling of my heart sinking, goosebumps began to spread.

Even though it was a sudden situation, I instinctively surrounded myself with a {defense shield} of the “nothingness” attribute to prepare for my body falling head first.

Because it was such a fleeting moment, this was my limit. Sleep is so scary…

The moment I was about to fall to the ground like that.

Fluffy..?

“to..?”

What happened?

Am I half asleep yet?

I thought I would fall headfirst, so I made a firm resolution and tried to accept it.

However, as if I was being hugged by something, I started to feel a soft yet familiar scent along with a reaction of defying gravity.

＇This smell..＇

＂Master!?＂

Master Belzab’s heavy and large breasts were clearly visible through the bright sunlight.

To be honest, it wasn’t my first time being hugged by a princess, so it wasn’t unfamiliar, but it was my first time being hugged by someone other than my family… so I felt something strange.

Is it because the memories of my past life are clearer and clearer?

I couldn’t even wonder why she was here and was just waiting for this situation to end.

Taaa…

“Daughter.. Are you going to let your husband-to-be fall like this?”

“Did I teach you that?”

Belze blushed for a moment at Belzab’s unexpected words, but then turned his head the other way as if he had never done that before and quickly avoided the situation.

＂Tsk.. It’s because I’m not that proactive..＂

Why is Belze blushing?

I couldn’t understand why Master Beljav was referring to me as her husband-to-be, but the fact that she was here with me was enough to reassure me.

***

＂Move right away.＂

＂Get ready.＂

I wake up to the loud sound of Master Beljav.

Belze and I, who had joined the {hunting party}, checked each other’s physical condition and began to gradually relax so that we could move sufficiently.

“How’s your condition?”

Just two days ago, Belje’s body, which had been swollen and swollen due to fractures throughout his body, had improved to some extent and was now turning a reddish apricot color.

＂Except for the ribs… everything seems fine.?＂

“Even if our beastmen break a bone, they recover in a day or two.”

Belze immediately takes my hand and touches his bare skin, as if nothing is wrong and asks me to touch his body.

Strong muscles that are invisible from the outside.

And the magical energy clearly alive and breathing within it can be felt through {monomistic senses}.

“We also practice breaking bones or tearing muscles on purpose to strengthen our bodies according to the long tradition of the wolf beast people.”

“I didn’t do it because it was obviously dangerous for you, a human, but…”

“Do you want to try?”

On the one hand, it was different and nice that the distance from Belze had narrowed.

But honestly, it was a little creepy to see Belze smiling and saying something like that so casually.

＂Bird, I’ll think about it..＂

I try my best to avoid her orange gaze.

“So you’re okay, right?”

“Your expression is different from usual?”

I smile and laugh at Belze’s question.

＇There is no problem with movement, but…＇

A critical moment where one’s life was at stake.

I had to make a choice to survive.

The result was a “nothing” attribute [slime] magic stone that was hastily implanted in both arms.

I can still feel the pain inside. Just like the practice she mentioned, you can feel the process of your muscles being torn and repaired in real time.

I didn’t show it willingly, but it was getting better little by little as time went by, so I decided to endure it a little longer.

‘Now that I think about it… according to what Belze said yesterday, I said I subdued the [Mutant Lil Bear], right?’

I open the [information window] and check the changes that have occurred in my body.
