Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 97

“Your core has been tainted.” Daniel said while taking the core from Pina’s hand.

“W-what do you mean with that, sir?”

“It seems that person is a demonic wolf.” Daniel’s expression remained expressionless as he thought about the most exhausting race to deal with. the demonic race.

“Do they still exist? I thought they were all exterminated.” Pina asked while trembling in fear. She had never personally encountered the demonic race, but she had heard terrifying stories about it that were very evil and truly horrendous.

“Maybe he survives? I don’t know. But only demonic creatures have the power to extract the core and consume it like food.” Daniel responded unsure, but there’s nothing else that can explain how Randell did it to Pina.

Pina gasped and said, “Is that why he acted as if he was going to swallow my core? What would happen if he was successful?”

“You’ll turn into dust.” Daniel bluntly responded, while Pina continued to gasp at every one of Daniel’s words.

The priest needs to eat the core of a living creature for awakening. That creature will eventually turn to dust, but the priestess can resurrect it as a new born. with demonic creatures, the core eaten will be gone forever.

Demonic creatures were exterminated a long time ago and are believed to not exist anymore.

They were purged because they are a race that lives off of consuming other races’ cores.

“He is back.” Daniel said, and pushed the core back to Pina’s chest.

“Ah! it went back easily?” Pina said, surprised, and rubbed her chest with both hands.

“I purified it.” Daniel bluntly responded as he approached the broken window. He opens up his arms the moment Ranz jumps up exactly where he was standing.

Poof!

Everything turns dark.

“Oh, you have this type of spatial dark place too?” Ranz commented once his surroundings turned dark and brought him inside Daniel’s spatial spell, in which Daniel has full control of everything.

“What are you?” he asked while gesturing his hand towards Ranz, making a shadowy string, wrapping around Ranz and binding him.

“What? I was doing nothing.” Ranz casually said while giving up looking for a way to exit.

“What is your plan?”

“I really was doing nothing. All I want is to live peacefully. ”

Ranz was too laid-back, and that made Daniel doubt the wolf’s words.

“What did you do to the goddess Mila?”

“She’s safe in my spatial spell. Don’t worry, the Goddess will not die.”

“I don’t care if that goddess dies or not. My concern is the inconvenience that you keep giving me.” Daniel said while crossing his arms, sending off an intimidating aura that can make anyone bend down from it, but Randell is not being affected by it.

Daniel was perplexed by the lack of reaction from Randell’s body from his power, which strongly confirmed that the person in front of him was a demonic race member.

“Inconvenience?” Ranz tilted his head.

“Yes, I have to do all the work the goddess left behind because you took her.”

“You are not concerned with the goddess?” Randell wanted to laugh loudly and was excited to share this with the poor goddess.

“She’s not even the goddess I am serving. She’s just a side hassle.”

“Oh, you’re a unique priest. I like you. ”

“Thank you for the compliment, but please release the goddess. I have a lot of other things to do.”

“No, I can’t. She always comes after us. How can Randell even live peacefully if that bitch keeps coming and nagging around about how evil we are?”

Godess has the impression of Ranz that he is pure evil and will only cause destruction; she’s been working to exterminate him. which makes Ranz go against her even more.

“Randell?” Daniel wasn’t aware of Ranz and Randell yet.

“Should I be honest with you?” Ranz is thinking of having the dark priest help him because he heard that Daniel is not biased towards black and white.

Because of their similarity in attributes, Ranz feels like he can open up to the dark priest in front of him.

“What?”

“There are two people here, but with one body.” Ranz pointed at himself.

“Am I talking to two people?” Daniel asked, wondering whether he should believe him or not.

Ranz smiled because Daniel was so easy to talk to.

“No, I put Randell to sleep. He’s young, he can’t deal with this thing.”

“Okay? Then who are you?” Daniel just simply responded, not wanting to know the details since he expected it would be another set of trouble.

While Ranz likes that the dark priest is not a nosy person,

“Ranz, that’s what they called me.” Ranz introduced himself with a bright smile.

“Okay, nice meeting you. Now will you release her now?”

“You don’t get me. Don’t you? ” Ranz shakes his head as he starts to grumble. “You know what? We are not even planning to dominate any place or annihilate anything. We are not even interested in leading the pack, but that bitch keeps insisting that we are evil and will only bring chaos!”

“Aren’t you doing it right now?”

“No.”

“Randell is a poor child. He is deprived of the good life he deserves. I am just giving him a peaceful life. Why does he keep bothering us? ”

“I think your actions contrast with your words.”

“Whatever! I release her until I am sure that she won’t hinder our lives again.”

Daniel’s ears twitched in irritation because the life that was being hindered was his own life.

“Then I won’t release you either, not until you solve my problem of having a load of work.”

“You’re not going to insist on releasing the goddess?” Ranz asked as he gazed strangely at Daniel.

“I am on the side of no one. If you can offer a better solution that won’t inconvenience me, I’ll go with your suggestion.” Daniel said, releasing the strings he had wrapped around Ranz.

“Oh! I really like you!”

“Then, what is it? What can you do, so I can release you now?”

“I can’t do the guarding because all I know is to attack.”

“What?” Daniel asked because Ranz’s statement feels so random.

“I’ll do some other jobs for you, I have no intention of releasing the goddess.”

“What job?”

“I know you have a lot of side hassles on the dark side. I’ll cover that for you, but let my brother live quietly. ”

“Hmmn… I do have a hundred jobs. You know, you can take them?” Daniel is grinning internally, relieved that someone has finally arrived to end his never-ending job.

“I can do it while Randell is asleep. Just remember not to bother him.”

“Oh. We are doing a great deal here.” both of them has finally come to a closing deal.

The two discussed more things inside Daniels’ spatial spell, and they soon agreed to work together.

..

..

“Sir, did you beat the wolf? Ah! ” Pina asked the moment Daniel reappeared again in front of her, but she screamed once Randell appeared after.

“I have another task for you, Pina.”

“What is it, sir?” She awkwardly asked as she became wary of the still free wolf.

Check each temple to see if any mismatched priestesses have awakened.Tell them it’s mine. ”

We will have a new priestess? You’re retiring? ”

“Why do you have to jump to a conclusion like that?”

“Ah? You’re not.”

“No. Just look for any newly awakened priestess. ”

Daniel looked less exhausted after talking to Ranz inside the spatial spell that made Pina think that things were going the right way. She just disappeared and followed Daniel’s order.

“What’s with the new awakener?” Ranz asked, even though he knew what they were talking about, and he didn’t have the intention of sharing it with Daniel.

“None of your business.”

“Oh okay.”

Don’t cause any more trouble and fulfill your promise.

“Yes, sir, I’ll be. You need to do what you promised as well. ”

“Okay.”

The two looked at each other for a minute before Daniel jumped off the window.

“What in the world happened?” Randell immediately asked once Ranz had woken him up.

“Sorry Randell, I had to make you fall asleep. I don’t want you to see such violence.”

“Why does an enemy come into our room?” he asked while looking at their messy room and destroyed window.

“Yes, but I will deal with it.” Use the other room; we have a lot of rooms here on the 50th floor. ”

“Oh okay, but you won’t leave now?”

“No. I still need to take care of Mila. ”

“What? Why? Is this even necessary? ”

“Just enjoy the day. I’ll be taking over the body when you sleep.”

“What? Why?” Randell had a lot more questions to ask, but Ranz had disappeared again, and one of the questions he wanted to be answered was why did he need to turnover when he was asleep.

He stopped uselessly pondering himself and went to another room to see where he could stay, as he usually did.
