Are you drunk?

I can feel the warmth of my face gradually turning red.

＂Hike..!＂

“That’s how it happened. Master…”

Perhaps because of the combination of the overwhelming intoxication and the fatigue that I had not yet recovered from, I felt quite dizzy and started to feel dizzy.

Nevertheless, I slowly explained the situation when I confronted [Mutant Lil Bear] and relayed it to Master Beljav.

Perhaps they used {Berserk}, which is an upward compatibility with {Magic Circulation}.

He was hesitant about going to save Belze in an urgent moment…

This and that.

Honestly, I don’t remember.

Tread.. plod..

just as expected. Master Belzab, who had been listening intently to my prediction, got up and started coming towards me.

Click…

Then he suddenly grabs my cheeks with one hand and pulls me closer.

＂Master.?＂

A steady voice without any lies.

Blue eyes that do not waver even when looking straight ahead.

＇I think I drank well..＇

“{Berserk} was used.?”

Beljav’s expression distorts as he looks at Dahyun’s face up close.

On the one hand, I was full of worry, but I also felt anxious somewhere.

“Hmm.. I understand.”

“Go out and enjoy dinner.”

It feels like the world is spinning.

I don’t feel like the awkward feeling is that bad.

“Master, won’t you stay with us..?”

I speak confidently without realizing that my tongue is twisted.

Belzab soon relaxed his grip and returned to his original position, sending back the drunk Dahuin and summoning Belze.

“A.. Let’s eat together!”

Tread.. plod..

just as expected. Belze, who was watching the whole situation, slowly appears and approaches Belzab.

＂So.. are everything I heard Dahyin say true?＂

Unlike when I look at Dahyun.

Belzab’s orange gaze, which showed sharp eyes, was split straight like the eyes of a snake.

Passs..

A threatening magical power engulfs her, to the point where all of Belze’s hair stands on end.

Belze is trying to control himself calmly.

I could never save a lie.

Blinking of eyes.

Fluttering pupils.

Everything that seemed nervous would determine whether what was being said was true or not.

Belze barely holds on to his trembling hands and proves once again that what Dahuin said and everything he has experienced so far is true.

“Yes… it’s true. mother.”

“Dahuin definitely risked his life to save me from dying and went beyond his own limits.”

“And I saw it clearly with my own eyes.”

“The secret technique of the beast people… the use of {Berserk}.”

Although Belze himself couldn’t believe it, it was clear that all of this was true.

＂In the end, he was unable to overcome the aftereffects of {Berserk}… He appeared to be unable to accurately remember the situation at the time. ＂

For some reason, Belze didn’t say anything about Dahyun’s appearance turning black at that time.

It was a difficult experience that felt as if what had only been 10 seconds had lasted over an hour.

“i get it. Belje…”

The pressure of Belzab’s threatening magic power has been lifted.

“I’m glad you came back safely..”

There was a feeling that they were trying to hide something, but Belzab decided to trust their words for now and decided to focus more on this ominous magic stone left behind by [Mutant Lil Bear].

***

From that day on, Master Beljav’s training method changed a lot.

Rather than learning a practical sense by sparring with Belze, it is a way to strengthen it according to your own abilities.

Her training was mainly instruction on how to use {Berserk} correctly.

Just as in order to swing a sword, you must have the basics of holding the sword and posture.

Master Belzab explained why I was able to demonstrate this ability.

It is said that beastmen dramatically awaken their bodies through {magic circulation} by the magic stone of another monster existing in their bodies.

In fact, it is said that there is another secret technique besides that, and that is {Berserk}, which was used a while ago.

“Listen carefully and put it into your head. Kid.”

“For example, let’s say the total amount of magic required to use {Magic Circulation} is half.”

“However, the condition for using {Berserk} is a skill that converts your total magical power into a monster’s magic stone.”

Belzab’s expression, which seemed quite serious, showed the seriousness of the situation.

“In other words.. the moment you use {Berserk}, you are not human.”

As she said, in theory it seemed easier than I thought.

However, the side effects that come with such vast power were also so great that they could not be ignored.

“I have seen many untrained and inexperienced people use it.”

” Unable to recognize his tribe, he lost his senses… he fought endlessly until he exhausted all his magical power, and met a miserable end. ”

“As it is a powerful force, it depends on how it is used. Kid.”

Not only does it require a great deal of mental strength and patience to use {Berserk}, but it is also said that if 100% of the monster’s power is used, the physical side effect will be to change the appearance to resemble a monster even more.

Due to the severe injuries, the wolf beastmen’s nails and teeth became even sharper and stronger.

More sensitive hearing and smell.

Even the black eyes, a characteristic of monsters that can identify moving creatures even in the dark of night.

On the other hand, in my case, I remember gaining massive defense power through thickened mucus due to the “nothing” attribute [slime] magic stone implanted inside my body.

To that extent, for me, this technique called {Berserk}… came to me like a rope of salvation that could help me survive in times of crisis to the extent that I didn’t even realize it.

***

The two months that seemed like they would never last passed quickly.

The dizzyingly hot summer sun has set.

A cooler autumn breeze has arrived.

As it has already been 7 months since I trained here, I am satisfied with my own growth as I look at the [information window] unfolding before my eyes.

『Information Window』

□Name: Dian Deluca Dahein

□Gender: Male

□Age: 14 years old

□Title: {One body with the monster}

□Status:

『Abilities』▼

[Stamina: 18] [Magic Power: 25]{-3} [Strength: 16]

[Dexterity: 16] [Intelligence: 13]

『Ability Window』▼ 『Technology Window』▼ 『Reinforcement Window』▼

After working hard for the past two months, I was able to safely use {armor} with titanium slime covering both arms.

As the {armor} becomes more proficient, its form can be slightly modified, making it possible to use it for various purposes.

It was also proof that the time to leave this place had come.

***

＂Dahein.. I will never forget the food you cooked..＂

＂Because you are like a member of our tribe, you will be welcomed whenever you come!!＂

Everyone was informed that I was leaving on the same day and started to gather in a hurry.

Dent!

just as expected. Maybe they didn’t want to send me away like this?

Master Beljav couldn’t stand it any longer and pushed my head right between his massive breasts.

Stroke.. Stroke..

“I wanted to raise a son just like you..”

I feel regret in Belzab’s gaze as he looks at Belze.

Teacher Belzab, who always showed a cheerful and lively side, must have felt regretful that he was sending me away like this, and his emotions were clearly visible on his face.

Nevertheless, he seemed to be trying hard not to lose his smile.

Sigh..

Now, I was used to Master Belzab’s behavior like this.

Just as Master himself was okay with this situation, I had to acknowledge and accept it to some extent.

I quietly slipped out from between Master Belzab’s heavy chest and bowed politely, showing courtesy to my teacher.

“I learn a lot from my teacher.”

＂Dian Deluca Dahuin… It was an honor to receive the teacher’s teachings as a disciple.＂

“Please stay healthy.”

The wolf-beast race that has been living with Da-hein for the past seven months has greatly improved the concept of the human race, which was full of distrust, thanks to his good influence.

All of the wolf beastmen would know that all of this was due to his diligent efforts.

“mother.!! Please stop.”

just as expected. Perhaps because he doesn’t want to miss Dahyun, who only chooses pretty things to say, he clings to her more than usual.

＇Soo, I can’t breathe..＇

And Belze is trying to stop Beljab in some way…

“Aren’t you planning on marrying my daughter??”

“It seems like the only person who can take a daughter who treats her mother like that is you, little one.”

Belzab’s sinister orange eyes came toward me, as if trying to satisfy his own selfish desires.

So close.

‘Boo, it’s burdensome..’

Its gray ears and tail were just waving as if waiting for my answer.

“Uh, mother!!”

Belze, whose face is red, urgently pulls Belzab and blocks the road.

“ha ha ha.”

I smile lukewarmly and scratch my head at Beljav’s joking question.

＂What.. is that reaction?＂

“Are you saying you don’t like me!?”

For a moment, I started to get goosebumps at the sight of Belze looking at me with a straight face.

＇Live, live?＇

As I spent a lot of time with her during the two months we were friends, I was able to become quite close with her.

It’s like a great relationship where you spar with each other and point out each other’s shortcomings.

However, when Belze, who never joked, answered seriously in such a joking tone, I could only stare at her in bewilderment for a moment.

“It’s okay.. I’m just kidding.”

“Stop it. It was fun. Everyone..”

So I was able to leave the {Wolf Beast Tribe} and head home with everyone seeing me off.

‘I’ll miss you.. my friend Dahein.’

It was Belze who remembered the seven months he had spent with Dahuin.

The person who ignored him and pushed him away.

Nevertheless, Dahein keeps coming.

In the end, we became friends who were trustworthy enough to lean on each other’s backs.

The sight of Dahyin leaving behind…

Belze is so depressed that he doesn’t seem to want to show his crushing emotions on his face… so he just turns his head away.

Da-heein, who suddenly leaves, shouts loudly from far away.

＂Belze!!＂

“Because it’s time to come back!”

“We are going to spar to see who is stronger then??”

“got it??!!”

Belze’s face was not visible when he turned around.

However, I was able to recognize that its fluffy gray shiny tail and ears were fluttering in response to my words.

So I head to {Dirrin Village}, which I miss.

***

Belzab, looking at Dahein leaving like that, asks Belze if he has any questions, with a meaningful smile.

“So… when are you going to bring me in as a mate?”

Beelze is aroused by Belzeb’s playful voice, and he hurriedly leaves, saying he is going to train, as if he is embarrassed to be here anymore.

Turf.. plod.. plod..

Belze thinks as he looks at Dahyin’s back disappearing beyond the forest.

‘You said you wanted to live a life you wouldn’t regret, right?’

‘That’s why I’m trying to become so strong…’

Why does he want to become stronger?

Belze did not know.

However, I instinctively felt that Dahyun was becoming stronger to face something.

‘If you want to prevent future misfortune…’

‘I will help you. It’s all right.’

Belze had such a high opinion of him that it was difficult to think of him as being of the same age.

There was always something to learn, and all the advice given to him had such deep meaning.

Even when I face my own incompetence head on…

Dahyun did not get frustrated or kneel down.

Once again, his eyes were always blue, and he stood up more resolutely and moved forward.

And his presence was deeply entrenched in Belze’s heart as he watched it all from the side.

match!!

‘I can’t be like this either.’

Belze firmly pressed his cheeks together, then showed a solemn expression as if he had made a resolution, and left for {deep in the Diggle Forest}.

And at that moment…

Something shining dark brown sparkled from the mysterious mark carved on Belze’s back and shoulder, and then quickly disappeared.
