Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 81

Fifteen years later,

“Hey! Hey! Isn’t that the amusing child we met last week? ”

Ranz commented that once a girl came inside their class room carrying papers from her class.

“Her name is Nida, right?”

Ranz asked, as he remembered their first meeting last week. Although playing hero is something they would not do, with Nida, they end up saving an orphanage from getting bullied.

“Talk to her!”

“Ranz, stop bothering me. I am taking a quiz.” The fifteen-year old Randell shuts Ranz, his other personality, from talking to him because he is distracting him from answering his long quiz.

It’s been fifteen years since they were teleported to this world and Ranz told him about their past, but he still can’t believe what his other self is telling him because he’s never seen any supernatural beings since birth.The only peculiar thing happening to him right now is that he has another personality that can hold a conversation with him.

He calls him Ranz since they became confused as well from having the same name.

Of course, Ranz didn’t include the killing and brutal things in telling him about their past, because Randell is too young to know about it, and it will only give him nightmares.

“Number four’s answer is D. Five is C. Six is D. Seven is A. Eight is—.”

“Stop!” he shouted, since he wanted to finish the test on his own.

“What’s wrong, Lobo?” the teacher asked, surprised by his sudden shout.

“Oh, no! Sorry ma’am! I was daydreaming.” He made an excuse while he could hear Ranz laughing.

His face instantly turned red when he saw that everyone was looking at him, including Nida who was about to leave their room.

“Focus on your quiz.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

He lightly bows his head and apologizes to his classmates, and he returns to looking at his paper again.

“Isn’t she cute?” Ranz commented again, talking about Nida with admiration.

Randell just ignores him and continues his quiz with so much effort to focus on.

“Hey, do you think she’s dating already?” Ranz asked once Randell finally went out of their classroom.

“Why are you so interested in that girl? Stop being a bother!”

“Isn’t she your type? I think I like her. She’s kind of appealing. ”

“appealing? That girl? She’s ugly though. ”

“Wow, has your standard become human as well?”

“No. But no matter what you see, she’s not a beauty. Remember, her face is as if there’s no more room for new pimples.”

“No. no. no, kid. Take a look at her again. Her aura, charisma, and appeal are ideal for being our mate! ”

“M-mate? Hey! We are just fifteen, okay! ”

“Stop acting pure; you make me nauseous.”

“Are you in heat?”

“We have the same body, so why would you ask if you feel nothing?”

“Well, now that you say that, what happens if you feel in heat? Does it make me feel the same too?”

“Of course, like I said, we are one. I can also tell if you’re thinking impure thoughts, so don’t act pure in front of me, because you’re not! ”

“What do you mean? I am still a virgin! ”

He said it loudly while he was turning at the edge of the hallway.

“Ah,” he gasped shortly after recognizing the person he had bumped into.

“N-Nida?” he nervously asked as his eyes tried to avoid her gaze out of embarrassment.

“Did she hear me?” he asked internally.

“Hey! Allow me to switch! You don’t like her? Just let me hang out with her! ” Ranz asked.

“T-then just don’t cause any trouble.” Randell willingly switched control over their bodies since he really couldn’t think of how he would excuse himself from shouting that he was a virgin.

“Do you still remember me?” Ranz asked with a bright smile, which made Nida frown as he felt weird talking to him.

“Of course, but did you act bold today?”

“Why? You don’t like bold people? ”

“Yes, anyway, I have something to do. Bye.” Nida walked past him and waved her hand, but Randell caught it and grabbed it.

“Wait!”

“What do you think you’re doing?”

“Since you just said you hate bold people.” Ranz let go of her hand and stood straight in front of her.

“I try to be less bold, but would you like to date me? I like you. ”

“D-date?” Nida was flustered by the sudden confession that left her pimples covered more in oily sweat. “Isn’t it bold to ask someone to date?”

“I can’t help it because I like you!” He showed his brightest smile, which made his young and handsome face glow in the orange light of the afternoon sun.

“I refuse. No. Bye!” Nida ran away while hugging her school bag, while Ranz was left alone in the hallway with his big smile still intact.”

I refuse. No?” Ranz repeated Nida’s response while touching his chest.

“Did she just reject me twice?” he asked himself while still in a daze.

“What was that? Why did you ask her to date? Do I need to date her too? ” Randell interjected, breaking Ranz’s daydream.

“No. She’s mine alone.” Ranz said, returning control of their bodies to Randell.

“Oh, really? If that’s okay with you, then that’s fine; she’s not my type anyway.”

“Yes, she said she doesn’t like bold people, so don’t bother me tonight. ”

“That’s nice since I need to study, but what will you be doing?” Randell gets curious since this is the first time he won’t be bothered while studying.

“I need to train to control my bravado. From now on, I will not be a bold person. I will be a well-mannered man! ” With full determination, Ranz wanted to fit in with Nida’s preference for him to pursue her.

“You’re a naturally valiant man. How can you even not be?”

“I’ll meditate! Don’t bother me! ”

Randell is amazed by Ranz’s determination and it just doesn’t bother him anymore. He thought he was more than willing to support him with his new-found love.

..

..

Days have passed and Ranz keeps switching control over their bodies every time they see Nida around.

Ranz also learned to rein in his arrogance and respect Nida as a lady in their world.

pure and delicate.

He tries his best to learn more about her for him to make his way to her heart until she can fully open up to him.

At first, Nida sees him as an annoyance, but soon she gets familiar with and enjoys his company as a friend.

The orphanage boy who they helped become their friend too, ends up hanging up every time they walk home together.

“Where did you get this tea set?” Nida asked while watching Ranz make flower tea, which they had freshly picked from the school garden they were in.

“It’s my mother’s set.”

“Is it fine to use this?”

“It’s fine.”

“Why do you even bring a traditional tea set? We can just buy a ready-made one at tea shops. ”

“You said you love tea. That’s why I want to make you one for myself,” he sweetly said, as he focused on pouring the tea into Nida’s cup.

Nida can’t get used to Ranz’s sweetness and her red face due to pimples becomes more red from blushing.

“Where did you even learn to make tea? Are you doing it right? Or are you brewing poison instead of tea?”

“Don’t worry, my tea is safe to drink.” Ranz snickered and brushed his fingers across her face.

Ranz knows how to make tea because their late mother taught him how to make one.

Although their other selves don’t remember everything, both of them know the pain of losing someone and being betrayed, both by their biological fathers.

The pack leader in this world and in their previous world are cunningly the same.

He frowned as he remembered their mother’s grave, which had been left unattended for years.

“Why, did I say something wrong?” Nida asked after noticing Ranz’s change of mood.

“Ah no, I was remembering someone.”

Nida didn’t ask more once he heard his gloomy response. Nida doesn’t love hearing someone else’s back story. It will only make her feel troubled as well.

“Why do you drink coffee instead of the tea you made? It’s sad to drink this alone,” she commented as she watched him open an iced coffee can.

“I don’t like to drink grass,” he teasingly responded, “but I love making it to the person I like. I pour all my love into them. Does it taste sweet? ”

“Stop making fun of me.” Nida pouted as she tried to hide her smile after hearing Ranz’s sweet words.

“I am not making fun of you because I am really fond of you.” Ranz moved his face too close to Nida, and that made her visibly panic.

“Haha! You should get used to my sweetness because I’ll be pouring all my affection on you. ” Ranz stared at her lips for a second, then pulled back his head from sitting properly.

He tried his best not to be bold and restrained himself from wanting to kiss her lips.

“We are not even dating. Stop it.” she said as she looked away, hiding her red face.

“Then date me.”

“No.”

“Oh, am I getting rejected again?”

“No, I mean, you have to ask the question again so that I can answer you.”

Ranz twisted his head trying to figure out what she wanted, but once he figured it out, he plucked at the ring-pull of the can on his coffee, then he kneeled down on one leg, offering the ring-pull as if he was proposing marriage.

“Will you date me?”
