p90
>Don't forget...

>Eh?

p91
>>Gugaaaaa
>!?

>No way... Did I
>do all this?
>Wait, just now
>I remembered something important, right...?
>A-Are you okay?

>!?

p92
>You're...
>really strong!
>You were as strong as a native loups-garou!!
>Huh...?
>Erm...
>Native?

>In the natural world,
>strength is power!!
>Power is a lot!!
>She knows a lot of words!!
>You're peaking my interest even more!!

>I was just gonna have a fling with you...
>but you may rejoice!!
>!
>For I'm gonna make you my legally wedded wife!!

p93
>Why is this happening?
>I don't wanna!
>Fuhaha! You should be delighted!
>Why you!
>Listen when people are talking!

>Quit screwing around!
>I'm not your thing!!
>Uuh~
>Oh!? You wanna have a go?

>No matter how strong you are, I've been a loups-garou since birth!!
>I'll show you just how much more superior I am to you!!

>A garous
>since birth?
>What the heck is that?

p94
>Those who are beastkin from birth are known as loups-garou.
>Those who aren't are known as feu-garou.
>Loups-garou?
>Feu-garou?

>Although their appearances are similar,
>loups-garou are more experienced when it comes to using their superhuman strength.

>I see! That's why she was able
>to capture Touko-chan in an instant back there!!

p95
>Indeed. But what I find curious is why the kidnapper
>I am the leader of this forest!
>...decided to call herself that.

>That's right! This forest,
>isn't your property, is it, Rinne-san?

>This area is a solitary island.
>Every kingdom has a forest whose sacred territory nobody can own.
>But that's speaking strictly in cross-national terms...

>When it comes the species that mark their territory here,
>the leader, quite literally, stands at the top of the pyramid.

p96
>In other words, it follows the simple rule
>that whoever is strongest rules the land!!
>Then Touko-chan is...

>Hmm, well, she should be safe, but
>there's no telling what'll happen due to her personality.
>She's a bit militant, after all...

>Let's hurry, Rinne-san!!
>Alright already!

>Long ago, Mew's mother watched over the forest,
>but she left Mew in my care, saying "my daughter will be the next leader" before running off.
>I told her that she couldn't rule, but to no avail...

p97
>Mew, what's wrong?
>Do you know where they went?
>It's no good. I can't get past the scent of the river...

>Mew is a loups-garou, a beastgirl since birth.
>If even her nose can't lead the way, then I guess it's my turn!

>Is that
>life detection magic?
>!

>...
>How do you know?

p98
>The circle being projected from the wand...
>I've only seen it once before, but...

>now that I look at it closely, it kinda resembles the circuitry a life detector.
>It's faint, but it even replicates the integrated circuitry.
>!

>You...
>could tell what this was just from its circuitry?
>Yep.

>Of course, I don't know all of them,
>but hardware if my specialty.

p99
>...This girl.
>In that case, tell me...
>What did you imagine when you cast magic with this staff?

>...Magic?
>Say wha?
>That's what got you cursed in the first place!!
>You took my staff from me when we got eaten by that worm, remember!?

>If I recall, back then...
>There was some kind of lightning... like one of those plasma balls.

>...Did you imagine a circuit then?
>...More or less.

p100
>...Why
>did you imagine a circuit instead of a thunderstorm or an explosion or something?
>Eh? Well, I mean...

>if anyone could cast magic simply by imagining it,
>you'd run the risk of that magic going off easily, right?

>...So that's why you imagined a circuit?
>Ehehe...
>I figured I could cast magic that way!

>Hah

p101
>!

>It appears I've underestimated you.
>As much as I'd love to rewrite your memories right now,
>but your intellect and way of thinking has saved us many times now...

>However, you mustn't use magic recklessly
>lest you end up damaging your soul!!

>Let me show you a vision.
>?

p102
>Eh?

>Your reasoning is correct, but slightly off.
>Magic is a tool that even beginners can use.

>So long as you can pay the price, you can will anything you can imagine into existence.
>Those who can master it wouldn't need to walk or even move their hands at all...

p103
>Even without eating or sleeping,
>their bodies wouldn't degenerate...
>People like that...

>would no longer
>be called human.

p104
>Wha-

>What the...
>You...
>suddenly...

>turned small!?
>>Touko
>There's limits to transformations, y'know!!
>Hah...

p105
>You understand now, right?
>Because of my curse, I become a small animal at night!

>So I can't be your se-... your partner
>to begin with!
>Looks delicious.

>Eh?
>If I can't mate with you,
>I'll just eat you instead...

p106
>Wait...
>No way...
>Enough with the jokes, y'hear?

>Don't worry. Even if you lose one or two arms,
>I'm sure they'll grow back<3

>No, no, no, no! No way, no way, no way, no way! They won't grow back!
>I'll due!!
>Please stop! This is too much!!

>Thanks for the food<3
>GYAAAAAAH!!
