episode_0038

Purr-.

The sound of a lark crying comes from somewhere.

You must not let down your guard. This is Masurim. A place filled with monsters and monsters that easily go beyond imagination.

That lark sound is, absurdly, the sound made by a large unknown bird to attract prey. On the other hand, if there is a loud noise in the forest, nine times out of ten it is the sound of relatively weak creatures chasing away predators that have entered their territory.

The only remaining move is the overwhelming howl of a truly large monster. If you get caught in that, there is no answer. Let us kneel reverently and accept death. How can I beat a crazy person who screams so loudly that he can offend the Five Kings?

Of course, in the next 500 years, I will hunt down one of the Five Kings and become stronger than I was in my past life, preparing for future wars.

anyway.

“, the stain is very dirty. It’s been a few days since you washed up, right? Hmm, but do wolves wash?”

“Grrr… .”

“What! No problem! You won’t die if you don’t wash for a day or two! Of course, I attach great importance to cleanliness, but demons and beasts can’t be on the same level, right? Still, if we find a lake or something later, let’s take a shower!”

“Kung! Kkkk! Crrr… !”

“Why are you barking all of a sudden? Is it because my voice is loud? Don’t bark though! A wolf that confronts its owner is a bad wolf!”

“Kkkk! Kkkk! Demon! Die!”

“Wow, there was no etiquette training at all. Well, you can slowly learn etiquette between masters and servants from me from now on! ruler! Let’s shake hands to say we will work hard from now on!”

He extended his hand towards the wolf girl who was locked in a cage with iron bars. Put your hand through the cold iron bars.

The reaction was fierce.

“Krrrr! Kkkk! Do not come! Wow!”

Quack-!

Perhaps surprised by the sudden intrusion from outside, the wolf girl tried to bite my hand. I quickly pulled my hand out before it bit me.

Phew, I’m not being obedient. How did Lilith turn such a fierce guy into an emotionless machine?

… Actually, it’s easy to make it. Just beat it up all day. Then starve them, beat them again, beat them if they don’t listen, beat them if they see you, beat them if they offend you.

Then, you either commit suicide or endure and wear out, but although this wolf girl looks fragile, she is clearly of royal blood. There is no way I would choose suicide.

Of course I wouldn’t take that route. You might not have known it before, but I was reborn after receiving the baptism of love from a saint.

I have to make King Lang my servant, but a relationship with no loyalty and only violence is not safe. I can’t even leave it behind.

“Okay, if you act like that, I can’t help it.”

“Krrrr… .”

“First, let’s start with the name. Are you gradually becoming friends? You understand what I’m saying, right? What is your name?”

“Kwaaak! Demon! go away! Wow!”

“Is your name Keaak? Hmm, okay. Keuak-ah, I’ll be nice to you from now on?”

“Kkkk! No! Don’t call me weird!”

“No? So what is your real name? You have to tell me so I know.”

Although I know her by the name ‘Lang King Rua’.

That may not be the real name. Probably, Lilith added it to make it easier to sing.

“Grrr… !”

Seeing the tail showing its teeth without even noticing its owner, I don’t think it will be easy to tell.

“Oh, now that I think about it, you haven’t told me the most important thing yet. Okay, let’s get this straight first.”

I put my hand deep into the bag I had kept in my arms. I put the bag in until the mouth reached my shoulder and dug in hard to find one object.

A long stick touched my fingertips. I twitched my fingers, grasped it with my index and middle fingers, and pulled my hand out of the bag.

Whilick-!

What came out was a magic wand about three spans long. A magic tool used exclusively by magicians, also known as a magic stick.

I waved the magic wand from the bag in front of the wolf girl.

The wolf girl was very wary of the long magic wand she had never seen before. It’s not unreasonable. You must have been beaten a lot by a club that looks similar to a magic wand at the auction house.

I reached into the bag again and pulled out another item. Holding the raw meat dripping with blood in the hand opposite to the magic wand, I waved it in front of the wolf girl.

“… ! Grrr… .”

Perhaps it was because of the wolf’s instinct, but the wolf girl’s mouth watered. But, as if she didn’t want to show me weakness, the wolf girl was half baring her teeth. The growl also became a little weaker.

I said to her with a grin.

“I’m going to do something fun from now on!”

“Grrr… .”

“Every time you do something wrong, I will hit you on the forehead with a magic wand! Instead, if you listen to me carefully, I will reward you! With this meat!”

“Kung!? Kkuk, kkk! gibberish! Whoever wants!”

“Haha, you don’t like it? Don’t worry! You have no choice!”

The most common way to tame ferocious beasts is carrots and sticks.

There is a saying that all you need to train a dog is a carrot. The best way to train them is to reward them if they obey them, or not give them any rewards.

I agree with that. why? That’s a dog! Dogs are naturally good at imitating people!

First, the wolf in front of me right now is fundamentally different from the dog. In order to tame this ferocious beast, sweet rewards and severe punishments must be thoroughly administered.

Additionally, I would like to add the ‘love’ that the saint taught me. The saint’s love and my love may be a little different.

“Then, I will give you the first command. Kid! What is your name?”

“Kaaak… ! Kkkk! How dare the king! Giving orders!”

“This is an order and must not be broken, but you still don’t understand?”

“Kung! Kkkk… Awesome!”

Byak-!

He struck the wolf girl’s forehead with the magic wand. Not so much that it breaks a bone, but just enough that it hurts like my head is splitting open.

“Kkegaeng! Wow! Wow!”

“Okay, let me ask you again? Kid! What is your name?”

“Kkiing, whinging, whining… Wow!”

Byak-!

“Wow! Wow… .”

“Hmm, let me ask you again? Kid! What is your name?”

“Kkiing… Grrr.”

Byak-!

“Kkegaeng! Kiing! Wow!”

Is it too much to hit three times and get hit again and then get hit again and again? The Wolf King clutches his forehead and rolls on the prison floor in pain.

I need to release that too, but first I have to complete the first command.

“If you hold on, only you will lose? Kid! What is your name?”

“Krrrr… Oh, I won’t lose… !”

“support? Is your name Jiji? That can’t be possible!”

Byak-!

“Kke-ang! Kiing! Whine!”

“Say your name correctly! Kid! What is your name?”

“Ugh… .”

What’s important is the fight.

Just like when I made fun of Lilith earlier, I am showing that I will never be defeated or give up my will.

Additionally, it helps you realize that no matter how you react, the outcome will never change and you will only get hurt in the end.

Thus, breaking down that stubbornness and stubbornness.

This is the primary purpose of this training.

Byak-!

“No! Why, why are you hitting me! Wow!”

“Because you exceeded the time limit? Hmm, maybe you don’t want to get hit?”

“Kkkk! Of course!”

“I see! But why aren’t you answering properly? I thought you were the kind of person who likes to stay still and get hit! Well, what did he say? masochist? Majo Wolf?”

“… ! dog sound! Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Wow! The wolf tells me not to talk nonsense. On the same topic.”

“Kkkk! Don’t be confused! Don’t compare dogs to wolves!”

“What are you saying? A beast-man. If you want to be treated like that, tell me your name! Then I will recognize you as a smart wolf!”

Byak-!

“Kung! Wow! Wow!”

“You kid! What is your name?”

Byak-!

“Kkegaegaggang! Awesome!”

“You kid! What is your name?”

Byak-!

“Wow! Kkeggang… ! Wow… !”

“You kid! What is your name?”

Byak-!

“Kk… ! Twisting, twiddling… .”

“You kid! What is your name?”

Byak-!

“Peep… Sigh… Twisting… .”

“You kid! What is your name?”

The sounds of resistance die down. However, as if in inverse proportion to the growl, the venom in the Wolf King’s eyes burns even more.

Remove that poison carefully, for now.

“Kkiing… it hurts… .”

The priority is to sew the first button.

It lasts quite a while, but it doesn’t matter. Because that was within the expected range. It’s natural to grit your teeth and hold on.

What I must not forget is that I do not get tired. Even if you are tired, you will never show it. Just keep these two things unconditionally.

Byak-!

“Queep! Whine! Wow… .”

“Kid.”

“It hurts… stop… Twisting… .”

“What is your name?”

I ask quietly. With a bright smile on his lips.

Pain is disgusting.

Living things cannot withstand hatred.

If hatred continues, the creature collapses.

“Bad demons… .”

There is fear in the wolf king’s blue eyes as he looks at me. Her ears, which had been standing upright, droop down, and her tail curls between her legs.

The rag the wolf king wears trembles. I held up my magic wand as if repaying the favor.

“Stop it! Wow!”

“Child, do you listen? What is your name?”

Byak-!

“Kkegaeng! Aru! Aruya! My name!”

“Oh! Now you’re finally listening! good job! Aru! Really, really good job! You are the smartest, prettiest, handsomest, coolest, and sleekest wolf in the world! I guess I’ll just keep doing it like that in the future!”

“Kkiing… it hurts… It’s bitter… .”

“Oh my, does it hurt? As your master, I want to sympathize with your pain! It’s a shame I can’t do that!”

Your real name is the opposite of Lua. I didn’t think of that.

“You answered very well! You just have to follow my orders as carefully as before! Oh, by the way, since I followed the order, I should give you a reward, right?”

“Kkii… I’ll kill you… Evil demons… .”

Expressing my heartfelt feelings of joy, I hid the magic wand behind me and held out the raw meat in front of me.

Magic wand, thank you for your hard work. I will continue to use you well in the future. Rest for now.

Appetizing raw meat, dripping with blood and just the right amount of oil, is neatly placed in front of Aru. Can Aru, who has wolf blood, reject this?

Sniff-sniff-.

Aru’s nose twitches when he smells the smell of fresh meat.

Now that I think about it, how did wolf beasts have a nose shaped like a human’s, but a sense of smell that inherited that of a wolf? This is the part that makes me curious.

“Kung! Don’t eat it!”

“What? Not eating? Does the wolf refuse meat?”

“Enemies! trash! Demon! Kkkk!”

“Aha, so you’re saying you won’t eat meat given to you by an enemy trash demon like me? But why am I your enemy? Even trash demons can understand.”

“Enemies! Demon! Kkkk!”

Wow, it’s noisy. Doesn’t this damn dog have a sore throat all day long? You can’t just have vocal cord surgery.

“Now, let’s think about it. Aru, how did you get caught at the auction house?”

“Kkkk! The demons killed them all! Bad guys!”

“That’s right! Demons are bad guys! These are pieces of trash that deserve to be punished and will be torn to death!”

If you find someone to curse at, you curse them together. I’ve been using it for a while now, and when dealing with others, building empathy and turning away resentment is a necessity, not an option.

“My words! Wow!”

“But, Aruya. What would have happened if I hadn’t bought you there?”

“Keng? I don’t know!”

“Think about it! It’s already stupid Aru, but you have to think at least for your brain to work!”

“Kung, Kung? I’m not stupid!”

“What did the evil, bad, trash-like demons that Aru mentioned do after they bought Aru? They could have tortured Aru in all kinds of uneducational ways! Or maybe he found a wolf toy and played with it!”

“Grrr… ! I am not a toy!”

“That’s right! Aru is not a toy! But the demons may have treated it that way! In severe cases, it can be used as a material for those who study alchemy or black magic! In the worst case scenario, the skin could be ripped off and stuffed inside the house! How about it, isn’t it scary just to imagine it?”

“ Lee, don’t say anything weird! Kkkk!”

“That’s how vicious the demons are! Oh, you know it!”

“That’s right! Demons are bad!”

Oh, a consensus is gradually forming. After all, there is nothing better than shock therapy?

“Kkkk! But you’re a demon too!”

The question I was waiting for came out. Ridiculous wolf bastard. You are swayed here and there by the words of a superior demon.

“But I don’t bother you! Therefore, I am different from those evil demons!”

“You hit me! Grrrr… !”

“Because it’s the hawk of love! Aru, have you ever been beaten by your mom and dad? If you made a mistake, didn’t you get hit?”

“Kkiing… Hey, I tried it! If you miss your prey, you get hit on the calf!”

“That’s exactly it! Why would your parents hit Aru? It’s all because we love Aru! so do i! As Aru’s owner, I’m hitting him because I love him!”

Aru’s round face becomes blank. I touched the juicy meat and touched my lips.

“Recall your memories! Didn’t Aru praise you when you listened to mom and dad? I’m praising you now too! Like this, we also give rewards! It’s all because I love Aru!”

okay.

This is it.

How to reliably tame Aru.

love.

There is no doubt about its effectiveness. Because I have already experienced it myself.

The saint reformed me, who was the worst evil species in the demon world. Even though it wasn’t entirely in the direction she intended, she showed me a faithful light. It is an achievement so great that even I, the person involved, was surprised.

Even Shine Stella, the greatest hero on the continent, failed…

Anyway, I plan to train Aru the way the saint trained me.

Just as I became the servant of the saint, I made Aru my servant.

Just like I follow a saint, I make Aru follow me.

“Giggle.”

“Don’t laugh! I’m scared!”

“… … what? Are you scared of me?”

“Kkkk! I’m scared!”

No, you treat me with kindness like a saint, so why are you scared? Doesn’t the word “saint” go well with the word “scary,” even as a joke?

Hmm, if I think about it, the saint used to scold me for hugging me. I am disciplining Aru with a magic wand. If you put yourself in Aru’s position, it’s quite scary. Because it was the first demon I had ever seen before and was beating my forehead.

It seems like Aru doesn’t know my love, which makes me a little sad.

“And! Why are you my boss!”

“What? Aru, what do you mean?”

“Grrr… ! I am not an object! A king! Wow!”

“Oh my! Aruya! You’re saying something that will destroy my confidence!”

Anyway, for now, let’s just focus on taming Aru. If you lose focus for no reason, nothing will happen.

“Kkekekekekekeong! Why me!”

“What do you mean? How much money did I spend on Aru! A whopping 500,000 days of gold were spent! Do you know how much it is worth?”

“Keng?”

Aru tilts his head in response to my words expressing my deep sense of injustice. Aru seemed to have forgotten the pain in his forehead.

Looking closely, the red stick-shaped mark on Aru’s forehead had completely disappeared. Truly a beast, a specimen of wondrous regenerative power.

“500,000 days gold! That’s enough money to buy fifty thousand wolves like Aru! I spent that much money! Just to buy one aru! But how can you say that? I’m not Aru’s master?”

“Kung, Kung? Is something you can’t even eat worth?”

“Tsk! You stupid beast! They bought it for me and I didn’t even know the favor! This is why we need to listen to the words of ancient saints! They say they don’t harvest black-headed animals!”

“Who told you to buy it? You did it! Kkkk!”

“If you weren’t going to treat me like a master, I should have stopped you! It’s all because of you! When I live, I just keep my mouth shut! After losing all my money, they say I’m not even the owner! Oh my, it’s so absurd!”

One thing you need to know here is that wolves are a race with a very absolute and clear hierarchical system. In other words, as the name “master” carries great authority, becoming a master itself is very difficult. Unlike dogs.

There is also a way to simply fight Aru and win and declare him the master, but honestly, I am not confident that I will win. Aru is a beast and not a monster, so even the saint’s cross will not work.

Above all, I came to Masurim to practice, so why are you losing your strength with Aru?

That’s why I chose Sarang, a trustworthy training company. Because right now, I can’t handle Aru with my strength. In the demonic forest where danger is everywhere, there must be at least a support base to rest your back on.

Of course, if you expect to be treated like a master right away, you are a thief. I don’t even want that.

Being loyal to me easily means you can fall for someone else too. Just as fruits grown with great care have excellent sugar content, I will slowly tame Aru. Only then will you be loyal to me.

“That’s it! The wicked Aru doesn’t even understand his master’s feelings! Eat meat quickly!”

Pretending to be angry and spitting out harsh words, I pointed to the meat I had placed in front of Aru earlier.

Aru stared at him quietly, then turned his head and went to the corner of the prison, curled up and lay down.

“Aru, are you not going to eat meat? Is this really fresh?”

“Grrr… evil demons. I don’t listen to demons.”

“Oh, but you don’t make enemies anymore! I thought Aru was bad at learning! This owner is happy!”

“Owner, there is nothing! The owner is a dog! Wolves are the leaders!”

“Huh? Ah, did you by any chance reject me just because you were the owner? The wolf is the leader, the dog is the master?”

Wow, there are a lot of things that cover the topic of animals. I will adjust, please adjust.

“Okay! From now on, I will be the leader of Aru! But nothing changes, you know?”

“Grrr… ! I am the king! King of Wolves! A king has no captain! Wow!”

“What! Hmm, yes! okay! You don’t have to force yourself to eat it if you don’t want to! Still, if you feel like eating, by all means eat it! Because the meat was prepared with great care!”

“Grrr… ! Don’t eat it!”

Aru clumsily showed his baby teeth and was very wary of me. As if he was planning to keep his word, Aru took a seat in a corner away from the fish.

So, how long can you last?

There is a lot of time.

The leisurely whistling sound of demons flows through the cold iron bars. The lonely heart of the young wolf girl burns anxiously.

*****

it hurts.

it hurts.

it hurts.

It hurts a lot more than when my dad hit me.

Evil and vicious demons.

Everyone die quickly.

cold.

The lonely mountain is cold.

hungry.

I’m so hungry.

I want to eat something.

I think I can eat things I normally don’t want to eat now.

But there is nothing here.

I don’t even have the grass that my mom said I should eat sometimes.

hungry.

There is meat.

hungry.

You can’t eat it.

It was given to me by an evil demon.

You’ve already been through it.

My father ate the meat the demon gave him and white foam formed at his mouth.

Don’t let it happen again.

hungry.

I feel dizzy before my eyes.

I am the king, the king of wolves.

You can’t be servile.

There shouldn’t be such a thing as a captain.

So you shouldn’t eat it.

it hurts.

cold.

hungry… .
