Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 96
Tap, tap, tap.
Daniel tapped his armrest impatiently while thinking of all the things he should do.
He is back in his office now, and he just left Pina, eyeing Randell closely.
He went back to his office to organize more of his thoughts, but the pile of paper in front of him was distracting him.
“Do they think I have multiple bodies to work with this at the same time?” Daniel grumbled.
He roughly brushed his face with his hand.
“Shit, my face is getting oily from all of this stress.” He said this as he walked into the restroom. He washed his face and then gazed at his reflection in the mirror with a piercing gaze.
“A new godless priestess will be awakened soon. Guide her.” He repeated the message from the divine realm and frowned even more.
Godless?
He thought, how can anyone be a priestess if they’re godless?
The message from the divine relm didn’t make sense at all, at makes Daniel turn into his worst mood.
Why wouldn’t his boss just give them specific orders and just stop giving him abstract messages and let him think like he was solving a puzzle?
“At least tell me who the fucking priestess is!” he shouted.
He thought that his job would be easier if the gods and divine realm would stop being mysterious about their orders and just straight-forwardly tell the details. They left him another vague description of the task, which he still needs to investigate further before doing the actual job.
“Why must you make our lives difficult?”
He grumbled some more, but bit his lower lip when he realized who was in his back also peeking into themirror.
“My lord! You’re here.” Daniel suddenly changed into his respectful and calm demeanor and bowed his head toward the visitor in his comfort room.
It’s a dark, shadowy creature without a face or form.
It’s the only god Daniel truly respects and serves.
“Why is my lord here visiting me?”
“Daniel, your twin is awake.”
“Oh, thank you for taking care of us.”
Daniel’s grimace turned into a bright smile as he let the dark entity cover his body with its slime-like dark appearance.
“Danny!”
“Donna!”
A bright pink room filled with toys suddenly reappears once Daniel opens his eyes.
“How was your sleep?” Daniel asked while hugging his twin, who looked younger to him.
“I had a nice sleep. Do you want to sleep as well?”
“Why do you want to go out? I can’t lend you my body now.”
“Why?”
He didn’t get angry that he didn’t give her what she wanted and tilted her head because it was the first time he didn’t agree to lend his body.
“The outside is somewhat in chaos. I am in the process of fixing it. Sorry, I can’t let you play outside right now.”
“It’s okay! Play with me here instead. Let’s ask Darkie to let you stay here, even for an hour.”
“Hey, don’t call him that. He is still a god.”
“Darkie recently played with me too! Don’t worry, we became friends!”
“Are you sure?”
His twin nodded her head cutely and then raised her head, looking at the ceiling.
“Aren’t we friends’ darkie?”
“Yes.” A low baritone voice responded.
“Thank you, my lord.” Daniel also responded while looking up at the ceiling.
Daniel played with his sister for a while, then bid her farewell again.
“Thank you, my lord.” Daniel thanked his God once again once he went out of its dark slime-like dimension.
“Daniel, no need to keep thanking me; you’ve been doing well as a priest.” The dark creature didn’t wait for his response and just disappeared without warning.
Daniel was just left bowing, but this time he is now motivated to work.
He went back to his table and finished all of his paper work in CTC.
He planned to finish all his administrative work before he could deal with his supernatural side job.

“He really just passed the day normally!” Pina exclaimed while she was invincible.
She keeps following Randell for days, but finds nothing out of the ordinary. He just lives his life as a normal office worker, waking up early, going to work, going home to sleep, and repeating.
She doubts that Randell is scheming something bigger as he is not letting her catch him.
Pina didn’t sleep and continued to watch him day and night, every second of the day.
She looked like a zombie on the fourth day of continuous watching without sleep. She also gives a report to Daniel every hour, but her report is getting shorter and shorter as time goes by.
She wrote in her latest report, “The goddess might really have had a mistake.”
“Hmm?”
She crumpled the paper she was writing the report on, then stood up and walked closer to Randell, who was acting strange for the first time.
“Is he talking to himself?” She hurriedly took out a new sheet of paper to take down Randell’s own monologue. She doesn’t know if it’s useful, but at least she’ll be writing something different into her report.
“What happened to the goddess Mila?”
Pina’s ear twitched once the topic was about the thing she’d been looking for.
“Ah, okay.” She just watched Randell nod, as if he was talking to someone she couldn’t see.
Too bad Pina can’t hear who Randell is talking to.
She can only write down what Randell said and assume what the other party’s response was.
“At least this proves that the goddess is really with him.”
Thud!
Pina ran toward Randell because he suddenly collapsed on the floor.
“What happened?” She asked while checking his breathing. She placed her finger near Randell’s nose.
AAAAAA!
Pina screamed after her hand was caught by Randell.
“How did you know I was here?” Pina soon calmed down and asked Randell, whose eyes were still closed, but he was now getting up from lying on his unit floor.
She could not believe that she was caught while under an invinciblilty spell.
“I placed a lot of barriers here. Randell can’t use them properly yet.”
Ranz is back in this world and put Randell to sleep for awhile because he can’t let Mila and Randell talk to each other.
“I should have taught him this too.” He thought that he left Randell too early without teaching everything.
He went out to check the situation for a moment and would soon return the control to Randell, but the more he saw it, the more he needed more time to fix it.
“So, who are yo – ugh!” Ranz couldn’t interrogate Pina because she started attacking him, punching him with her fist covered in fire.
Ranz just pulled her wrist that he was holding and spun her into the air.
The fire disappeared and was thrown on the side, burying her body against the wall.
Her invincibility spell dissipated and Ranz could finally see her.
“Hmmn? An elf? Your core must be delicious.” Ranz said with an evil smile.
Pina trembled in fear just by looking at him. That is why she decided to escape and was about to teleport, but Ranz immediately approached him and intervened with her casting.
“No, you can’t run. Your core can help me live longer.”
AAAAAA
Pina screamed again when Ranz dug into her chest and took out her core.
She was not injured or bleeding. His hand just slipped into her chest and took her core.
“H-how could you even do that?” Pina asked, surprised by what Ranzcan did.
“O-only priests can do that!”
“Then I might be a priest?” Ranz teasedly responded.
In fact, Ranz, who was formed because of the absorption of cores in their past life, discovered how he could make use of the core that everyone believes is only beneficial to priests.
He learned how he could absorb more and use it as a power source and as his life source.
He opened his mouth and the marble like core was already in his mouth waiting to be swallowed, but someone dug it out of his mouth and sent him flying, destroying his large glass door and sending him falling off the building from the 50th floor.
“Pwe! I tasted your hand!” Ranz shouted while waiting for him to reach the ground.
At the same time, the person who dug out the core off Ranz’s mouth is borrowing Ranz’s kitchen sink to wash his hands, while looking extremely disgusted with his hand that just touched something he never imagined he’d ever touch.
“Sir Daniel! That wolf has the ability of a priest!” Pina reported following him to the kitchen.
“Yes, I saw it.” he said, still repeatedly washing his hand with soap.
Pina just let him be and took her core that was placed at the side of the sink.
She pressed her core back into her chest, but it was not returning.
“Sir Daniel, help.” Pina said, worryingly, as she presented her core to Daniel.
Daniel looked down at it and let out a long sigh.
“Your core has been tainted.”
