Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 101

“You’re making me more confused!” Nida shouted as her mind became more chaotic as the truth kept revealing itself to her that she could not tell anymore if it was really the truth or not.

“This is frustrating. Can anyone summarize the events and tell me what really happened? You are not helping me. Not at all!” She exclaimed as she continued to talk to her silver dust.

Her dust continues to swirl around her to help her know the real truth and what really happened.

Actually, her dust is the most trusted witness of all those who tried to give her a fake truth. No one knows that her dust could speak to her. And Nida doesn’t know where it stores their memory and intelligence, but no one can alter or erase what the dust has witnessed.

Her dust made a visual presentation, forming shapes of what they were trying to explain to make Nida further understand them.

“So you are all telling me that ten years ago, Angel didn’t alter my memory as she should have done, and once I entered the company, Wendell erased my memory, but Angel returned it back again. Then, when we came to this world tree and argued, we were knocked down, then erased Daniel’s memory and Rendell’s memory (Ranz not included) and returned to where we were, thinking that I wouldn’t do the same after waking up with fresh new memories, but you (dusts) intervened and led me to rereading Ranz’s core again. We are back to this place again, but this time Vina and Daniel were not involved.” Nida slowly said, after summarizing all the information that her dusts had said to her.

“Is my brain still okay?” She checked her head, wondering how she remained sane after all the multiple memory manipulations.

It’s nice that there’s a chance she’ll forget about her heartbreaks, but being duped and manipulated doesn’t feel right.

She then looked up to the gigantic tree and thought about taking the offer the lady with the heavenly voice had offered her.

She mumbled, “Should I protect my head from these tricksters?” she gathered her dust on her back.

“Let’s fly up! She ordered her dust after it formed a large wing connected to her back so that she could fly to the crown of the tower-like tree.

She flew upward, but once she reached half way, her dust started to fall off her wings, and soon it made her fall into the ground.

Thud!

“Ugh! That hurts!” she shouted. “I can’t use you to fly?” she asked her dust, which was swirling around her.

“The world tree doesn’t like outside powers coming through her crown?” She repeated what the dust said to her and found it ridiculous.

“How can I go up if I can’t use my dust?”

She asked, while thinking hard.

“Do I badly need it or not?” She wonders if she really needed the powers. Or is it worth the effort to come up with a plan just to have the power to repel manipulation spells?

“Ugh! I’ll take it! I’ll take it! ” She yelled as she made a new set of wings to fly with, but this time they only stayed where she could place her dust without being interfered with.

She then grabbed the body of the tree and tried to climb from there. She thought it would be easier to climb from the middle.

But that was what she thought. The crown was too far away to be climbed that easily.

huff huff huff

Nida catches her breath and her muscles hurt. But she didn’t give up.

“Finally!” She shouted once she reached the crown and celebrated as if she had reached the peak of Mount Everest.

Her eyes sparkled as soon as she saw the brightly sparkling pile of gems scattered around the top of the crown. A large nest is sitting on top of the crown, as if a hundred-foot dragon is collecting gems in his nest.

“Finally, you wanted my offer. Or just come here to steal some of my gems.” The heavenly voice asked as she slowly showed up.

Nida took a step back, which caused her to fall on the edge of the large nest, slide down, and fall into the tower-like tree.

AAAAAAAAAA

She screamed loudly as she held out her hand upward, desperate for someone to pull her up so that she wouldn’t fall like ripe fruit falling from the tree.

“I thought I would die from a wolf attack, but I was going to die because I stupidly tripped and fell from the world tree.” She shouted in fear as her tears flew up from the gravity that was pushing her to meet her end.

“Help!” she exclaimed. She shouted desperately, and she stopped falling right after she was just ten inches away from the ground.

“Huh? I’m still alive?” She asked herself while checking her body if it was still in one piece. “Thank you veraaaaaaaaa.”

She was about to thank the world tree that moved its branches to catch her right before she could meet the hard ground, but her speech of gratitude was interrupted once the branch sent her up again, as if she was a bullet from a sling shot.

“Ugh!” she groans once she is caught by another branch again and placed gently back into the large nest.

“Do you like extreme things?” the lady with a heavenly voice asked, clueless about what Nida was doing from springing up on her branches.

“Huh? No way! Of course not! I was just shocked.” Nida held on to what she was about to say because she felt like it would offend the lady who seemed very powerful.

“Do not hesitate. I’d prefer it if you talked with all honesty. I don’t get offended that easily.” She said, encouraging Nida to voice her thoughts.

“Then, ehem!” she cleared her throat first to prepare herself to talk straightforwardly. “I was actually perplexed by your appearance.”

“My appearance? Ahh. You got scared?”

“Yes, madam. Your voice sounded very heavenly, but you don’t look like you came from heaven at all.” She cautiously shared as she fidgeted around.

Nida is still wary of the lady in front of her as she releases ominous feelings around her.

The lady is wearing a long black gown that covers her feet and arms entirely with its long sleeves. She’s also wearing a torn black crown that supports the long black veil that hides her entire head, face and neck.

“Oh? Why? What do Heaven’s people look like? ” The lady asked, even though she knew exactly what the divine race looked like.

“They look kind, bright and beautiful.”

“Why am I not beautiful?”

“No! I can’t tell because you’re dressed in full black and you’re also covered up and with that veil you look very ominous. ”

Ha ha ha.

Nida watched the lady in black and gracefully laughed aloud.

“W-what’s funny?”

“No, sorry. It’s just funny how humans perceive white automatically as good and dark automatically as evil. Who are you all deciding that for yourself? ”

“W-why are we wrong?”

“Who knows? Want to know the truth? ”

“Yes!” she curiously asked, even though it was not the thing she went about, but she soon regretted it once she watched the lady in black form a gun in her hand and shoot her without blinking.

Bang bang bang.

“Oh, no! Why suddenly? Why are you shooting me? ”

Bang bang bang.

She doesn’t know if she’s just good at avoiding the bullets or if the lady in black was just poor at shooting because not a single bullet managed to hit her.

“Why are you avoiding me? I assumed you were curious about what a true evil person looks like and what a true angel looks like. And you can only meet them once you die. ”

“I am curious, but I don’t want to die either.” She shouted, not letting down her guard to be prepared for any possible shooting of the lady in black.

“Okay, fine. So you want the spell repellent right? ”

“Yes!”

“Okay here.” The lady in black suddenly appeared in front of her and tapped her finger on her forehead. Nida felt a sudden electricity leave her head and spread throughout her body, but it disappeared in an instant.

Tsk tsk tsk.

“Mila is getting demoted.” The lady in black said and clicked her tongue after touching Nida’s forehead. The lady took this chance to read about the purpose of Nida’s existence. As a world tree that oversees and watches over the world, with the power to see someone’s fate and purpose of existence.

Everyone has a purpose for why they were born. Even tiny bugs have an important role in the world, and that significant truth about one person could be clearly read by the world tree.

Haaa

She let out a sigh after clicking her tongue.

“What did you say, ma’am?” Nida asked, confusedly.

“You’re blessed with a long life, so you don’t have to worry about dying.”

“Seriously? Wait, are you some sort of fortuneteller?” Nida asked, still clueless about whom she was interacting with.

“No, I am the world tree.”
