And before dying, he would hear a soft voice saying, "I'm truly sorry, I arrived too late. You suffered so much. It's my fault. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, all Wataru could say was that she shouldn't feel guilty, that she had brought this on herself.
???(1) - Thank you,I lov
Wataru Yoshida - "She looks like an angel, but why are her eyes red? And why did she specifically come and say that? Do I know her?"
Wataru Yoshida - ...
The girl's figure slowly faded from Wataru's sight until she disappeared completely.
???(1) - I arrived late, but at least I was able to stop her suffering for now. Thank you, ma'am.
???(2) - It's not alright, Lilith. It was something you were going to do even if your father wouldn't let you.
Lilith - Well, that's true... but thanks to you, I didn't get into a huge mess.
???(3) - With this, your visits to the human world end, daughter.
Lilith - What? Why, Dad?
???(3) - The next time you go out, you'll become human again, and I can't allow you to go with them.
Lilith - But, Dad...
???(3) - No arguing. Go to your room.
Back with Wataru, he returned to the starting point where he activated his ability. Wataru turned around and looked at the two of them.
Hana Watanabe - Did something happen, Wataru?
Wataru Yoshida - No, I just wanted to see you one last time. Well, now I'll be going.
Hana Watanabe - Again? What the hell is he going to do to say that?
Akira Matsumoto - No idea.
Hana Watanabe - I'll go see what's going on.
Akira Matsumoto - Okay.
Wataru barely left the room before running towards the classroom where the vice-principal was. Hana immediately came out and followed Wataru, who was much faster than her. When she was about to reach the door, she bumped into a group of hooded figures.
Hana apologized for bumping into them, but they told her it was nothing and offered her a hand to help her up. Hana accepted it and found it strange why they were hooded. She asked, and one of them said it was a surprise for a third-year student, and they continued talking.
Meanwhile, Wataru arrived at the classroom where the vice-principal was and quickly announced that a sleeping potion would enter through the vents, but the teachers wouldn't understand Wataru. The power would go out, and the assistant principal would realize this upon smelling the gas and tell them to cover their mouths and noses, but the teachers would fall asleep again.
The assistant principal, though suspicious, would hand him a gas mask and ask how he knew this, but Wataru would say there wasn't time and ask him to tell him what the werewolves' weakness was.
Assistant Principal - Well, I'll be brief since I have to see what happened.
Assistant Principal - Metal is a weakness. They can't break it or touch it because it would cause irreparable damage, I think.
Wataru Yoshida - Okay, Principal, thank you.
Wataru would quickly go to where the group of werewolves was to kill them since he had their weakness, but upon arriving, he would see the group of hooded figures with Hana. He would try to tell Hana to get out of there since those were werewolves.
Hana, distracted by the conversation she was having with the hooded figures, saw Wataru say a few words, but she couldn't understand anything he was saying, so she just watched him. She became alarmed when she saw Wataru's face, as he seemed to be in anguish.
But the moment she made a move toward Wataru, she was scratched on the neck and slowly fell before Wataru's eyes.
Werewolf (1) - Ah, I liked you, girl. Too bad you wanted to escape.
Wataru Yoshida - You son of a bitch!
Wataru would quickly lunge at the werewolf with a metal gauntlet featuring metal claws.
But he would be dodged and struck, crashing lightly into a closed room. The werewolf, laughing, would tell him he was such a stupid creature for believing a myth.
Wataru Yoshida - The stupid one is someone else for dodging me. You confirmed that the myth must be true.
Werewolf (1) - It's easier for me to dodge and hit you than for you to hit me.
Quickly, Wataru would generate a metal spike on the werewolf's back and throw it at him. It would pierce the werewolf, causing him to fall to the ground with a deep wound.
Wataru Yoshida - "Well, it was true."
Wataru would get up and tell the werewolves to be prepared, as he would experiment on them.
The wolves would watch from afar without showing any concern, and Wataru would think that the leader was hiding somewhere.
Werewolf (1) - You were right.
The werewolf would sink his claws into Wataru's back, lifting him up and throwing him behind him.
Wataru Yoshida - How the hell are you still alive? I pierced your stomach.
Werewolf (1) - Simple, you didn't rip my head off.
Wataru Yoshida - Even if I didn't rip your head off, you can't regenerate since you don't have mana, and the metal touched you.
Werewolf (1) - The metal pierced me just because I was moving fast. We are the perfect species; we don't have a single weakness.
Wataru Yoshida - Thanks.
Werewolf (1) - ??
The werewolf lunged swiftly at Wataru, but Wataru conjured a metal object in front of him. Wataru dodged it, but the attack continued, striking Wataru's head and piercing it.
Werewolf (1)-This is too strange. Group, let's move away from the body, just in case. It might explode.
Werewolf (1)- I expected more from humans, but it seems they resort to this against other races.
Wataru Yoshida-Hana, could you tell me the time?
Hana Watanabe- It's 3:30 PM. Wataru, are you asking for something?
Wataru Yoshida- I didn't just want to know.
Wataru Yoshida-"Hey, demon, I need your help. I have a plan."
Mitio- "Are you going to die so many times?"
Wataru Yoshida- "Maybe."
