Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 103

“Would we talk in a normal position?” Ranz asked as he could not stand to remain in his embarrassing position because Nida remained sitting on his back while he was eating dirt while lying face down on the ground.

“No, let’s keep this position.” Nida rejected Ranz, and she put more weight on her dust to make her feel heavier.

She doesn’t want to give Ranz any chance to attack her.

“Ugh! You sound like you’re asking for a deal, but you’re not treating us nicely! ” Ranz grumbled, but he moaned loudly again once Nida’s hand landed on his tail.

“Hnghh! Stop!” he shouted while his face flushed. Nica could also see his ears and neck getting red.

“You’re quite sensitive to this part?” Nida pulled his tail and that made Ranz moan even louder, which sounded too erotic for her, and her face turned red as well.

“I am not a pervert!” she convinced herself after letting go of Ranz’s tail. She didn’t mean to make him sound too erotic; she just wanted to tame him.

“Ehem! Just behave there and listen to me. ” Nida said, awkwardly, as she could feel Ranz’s hard breathing from moaning loudly and feeling the strange sensation of his tail being pulled.

Ranz turned silent while Randell was feeling embarrassed inside of him.

“Back to what I was saying: The world tree gives me power to give Ranz his physical body. ”

“What? Physical body!” Ranz was still in a daze. It was Randell who shouted in surprise at the news that there was a way that they could live as two individuals.

They actually never searched for ways to live separately and just acted as if they would live together forever, and hearing that it was possible was the best thing that they could get to live a much better life. In that way, their lives won’t be so complicated.

“Yes, but there are consequences to having a new body.”

“Ha! In this world, there really is no such thing as free things.” Ranz was back and scoffed at Nida, thinking that there was no way the world tree would give them an easy pass to living harmoniously.

“I don’t think if this is fine with you, but if you want to have two separate bodies, you can, but both of you could never transform into your berserk form. You two will become normal human beings. ”

“Will we lose our wolf blood?”

“No. Actually, you could berserk, but one body will disappear again, and I am not sure if it will go back to the other body or if it will die. It would be risky if you loved transforming, but it would be safe if you could live as a human for the rest of your life. ”

Ranz and Randell were both speechless.

It is not like they really need their wolf form.

They were doing fine even before they could berserk, but if their enemies knew about this, their lives may be in danger.

“Is it nice, Ranz?” Randell stated that he felt excited about having two separate bodies.

“It would be nice if no enemy attacked us. We will lose our beast form. That’s dangerous, especially for you who suck at fighting.”

“Then let’s move into a place we can live peacefully! Isn’t that what we’re aiming for? We can finally live normally!”

Ranz can’t believe how naïve Randell is.

“Is this some sort of effect when your memory has been altered multiple times?”

“What?”

“No, nothing. Look, Randell, we actually have a lot of enemies. So, your idea is almost impossible. I can protect myself, but I can’t protect you most of the time.”

“Enemies? Who the tikbalang?”

“They’re one of them. There’s a lot more.” Ranz said this while regretting his previous actions for amassing so many enemies that they were having difficulty accepting a very good offer.

“What? You made a lot of enemies?”

“Yes, sorry about that. Sorry for ruining your dream of a peaceful life.”

Randell became speechless, and Ranz stopped talking as well.

They hit a wall. They can’t think of a way out of their misery.

Meanwhile, Nida just gave them time to think and she just waited for them to decide while she sat at the back of Randell.

“What took them so long to decide?” Nida wondered as she could not observe the werewolf expression that she was sitting on.

All she could see was the back of his head.

“Excuse me? Aren’t you done deciding yet?” Nida asked as she felt tired sitting on the werewolf’s back, but Ranz didn’t respond and just kept his face down to the ground.

“You asleep?” Nida leans forward to check on the werewolf’s face. “I can’t believe you fell asleep at a time like this.” Nida said she could finally see Ranz’s face. His eyes were closed and he was not moving at all.

Nida got up from sitting to stretch out her body that had gotten stiff from sitting for too long.

“HEY!” Nida shouted once Ranz suddenly got up and ran away, leaving her with dirt that flew up from the wolf’s sudden dash.

“They don’t want to lose their wolf form?” Nida asked, realizing what the two had decided.

“Madam, I think you judged them wrong?” Nida looked up at the world tree and talked to it.

“You’re not responding too?” Nida returned her gaze to the direction where the wolf had run off to.

“But really, where are they going?” Nida tilted her head as she knew from the world tree that this place is not something you can go in and out of freely, not unless you’re a god, saint, or priest.

“Madam, I am going to rest. Please wake me up once they come back.” Nida gently asked the world tree, and she looked for a good place to sleep.

She found a good shade she could sleep on and a group of dried leaves suddenly gathered around the shade, forming a comfortable bed-like cushion for her to lie on.

“Thank you, madam.” Nida thanks the world tree and lays down to sleep.

….

….

…..

“Shit! What kind of place is this!” Ranz grumbled as they couldn’t get out of the jungle even though they were running straight and at full speed.

“Ranz, calm down. I don’t think we can live here. Nida didn’t even try to run after us.”

Ranz stopped running and punched the tree on his side. The punch was so strong that it broke the trunk of the tree and their fist bled.

He also realizes that they cannot freely leave the forest after Nida didn’t even try to run after them, but he doesn’t want to return to her after running away like a coward.

They try to escape as they decide not to take Nida’s offer.

“That bitch sided with them too!” he shouted angrily.

“Ranz, do you hate her now? Why are you so angry at Nida? I thought you loved her? We love her. Right?” Randell innocently asked, as he could not understand why Ranz detested Nida so much.

“I may look very unreasonable, but I am like this because I still love her, even though I really hated what she did. It’s so frustrating!” Ranz pounded his chest as he was angrier with himself than with Nida.

“Did she really side with our enemies? Is it our fault?”

“Our fault?” Ranz could not believe what he was hearing from Randell.

“We almost killed her. Isn’t it normal that Nida would hate us.”

“Are you justifying that it is normal for her to kill us too because we are the first ones to harm her? It’s not like we intended to do it!”

“What if we just misunderstood her? What if she doesn’t intend to kill us as well?”

“Why are you siding with her? Are you in love with her?”

“Why? Aren’t you too, Ranz?”

Ranz cannot answer Randell because he can’t agree or disagree with him.

“Should we go back?” Randell suggested.

“What are you planning to do after we go back to her?”

“Should we try to understand her and make her understand us too?”

“Are you trying to clear up some sort of misunderstanding? What if there is really no misunderstanding and I am right? What will you do?”

“I’ll kill her, of course.”

“You- you have never been vicious since you were born. Where did you learn that word?” Ranz was surprised by Randell’s sudden villainous remark. He saw Randell as an innocent and soft-hearted child. He never thought their situation could turn his soft side cruel as well.

“If you are really right, Ranz, I won’t hesitate to kill her as well. But I don’t want to regret not understanding her if we really misunderstood her.”

“Okay, fine. You win. But don’t be reckless. Our lives are on the line here.”

“You should be saying that to yourself, Ranz. You’re the most brute and reckless person here.”

“Che!”

Ranz and Randell finally agreed to go back to the world tree where Nida and they are, hoping their new decision will take them to the peaceful life Randell wanted.
