Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 98

“Randell won’t get angry at you if you keep taking over that body?” Wendell asked while he was tying two goblins together.

“He will understand, and don’t worry too much about us.” Ranz responded, as he was done tying another set of goblins.

“Why so cold? I am even helping you with this job that I don’t know where you were taking it from.”

“I didn’t ask for help. It was you who came and joined me.” Ranz remained cold toward Wendell.

Ranz keeps receiving tasks from Daniel every night, like catching the problematic creature that is troubling the humans, inscribing work, and many other things.

On this day, it took too long to catch the goblins. Wendell saw him and eventually joined the tag of war.

“Hurry, secure them here. Randell told me he needed to attend a meeting at 9 a.m.”

“Oh, I am too. Glad you reminded me of that.”

Ranz locked the goblins first into a storage room and planned to retrieve them later and would wake Randell once he managed to go back to CTC.

Both of them transformed into their wolf form, and they dashed at great speed towards their office.

“Why are you changing in my office as well? That’s my clothes, you know.” Wendell asked as he stripped off his ripped clothes that were overgrown by his werewolf form. His office has a walk-in closet full of clothes because he ripped his clothes on a daily basis.

“Randell always forgets to place clothes in our locker. I guess he is not yet used to being a werewolf.” Ranz explained.

“You’re twin is weird.” Wendell remarked.

“He is not weird. He is just more human than a wolf.”

“Oh. That’s pretty interesting. ”

“Stop leisuring  around, the meeting will start soon. It’s past 9 already.”

“Come on, I’m the president. They won’t get angry at me even though I’m an hour late.”

“Good for you.” Ranz just rolled his eyes.

Together, they walked toward the conference room.

“Hmm?” Ranz paused and didn’t enter the room, even though Wendell had already come in first.

He planned to wake up Randell before he entered the conference room, but he could smell something familiar, yet it gave him a strange feeling. That is why he entered the room as Ranz.

Ranz walked in slowly as he tried to figure out what the strange feeling was, and it was soon answered by the appearance of the new office staff sitting across his chair.

Her appearance was now different, but her smell was so familiar that he immediately mumbled her name the moment he realized why he was feeling strange.

“Nida.”

Without caring about anything else, Ranz stared at her openly.

Nida ignored him and focused on the presenter, which made his heart sink as he recalled that Nida’s memories were also altered.

“Is it still fine to approach her?” Ranz observes her and ignores everything else in the room.

“Her pimples were all gone, but her face was still oily.” He commented. He studied her face, which was new to him, because the last time he remembered seeing her was when she was a teenager.

“She became more beautiful.” He thought this as he was itching to hug her again.

The two-hour long meeting was spent by Ranz only staring at Nida.

One by one, his office mates left the conference room. He gathers some courage to try to approach her and will try to befriend her, hoping they can still have the same relationship as before.

He slowly stood up and approached her.

He paused to consider what to say before softly calling her name.

“Nida.”

Thud!

Her things fell down, including her laptop.

Nida stood up, shocked, and looked up at Ranz in fear.

“Y-you’re Randell?” She asked, trembling.

Although Nida was acting frightened by his existence, Ranz felt relieved that Nida could remember him. That only meant they could still continue their relationship. He was hoping she would forgive him and love him again.

“Nida, you can still remember me?” He asked, shaking, when he felt happy and worried at the same time.

“M-monster. Hic!” she hiccups, indicating how troubled she is at encountering Randell again.

Ranz didn’t want her to feel troubled, but he really wanted to get back at her again. She missed her so much.

“If you still remember me, I thought they erased your memory. Can we s-. ” He was about to start to convince her to be back with him again, but he stopped as he sensed someone was coming toward the conference room, which had become empty after all the other employees left after the dismissal of the meeting.

He kicked Nida’s things that were on the floor under the table to hide them, then grabbed her by the waist and dragged her inside the cabinet.

“What is happening?” Nida asked as she still trembled in fear while the wolf attack was uncontrollably flashing in her head. Also, a weird sensation in her chest was happening that made her look at Ranz’s chest.

She blinks multiple times because she could see through his chest and could see his inside, but the weird thing was that he could see a marble beside his heart.

“W-what is this?” she asked, confused, which Ranz thought she was asking about his behavior.

“Wait a moment, I don’t want other wolves to see us.”

“W-wolf? Are you going to eat me?” She tried to move out of the cabinet, but Ranz hugged him tightly.

“Wait a minute. I won’t harm you. ”

“N-no!” Nida pushed her hand to his chest, but it ended up going through it.

Both of them stared at her hand, surprised.

“N-nida, what are you?”

“AAH!”

Due to her panicking, she pulled out her hand while Ranz core was in her hand.

“Y-you already know you’re a priestess?” Ranz asked, furiously hating the fact that Mila was right about what she had said to him. “You’re going to kill us too?”

Ranz was releasing a demonic aura that made Nida scared, and she went out of the cabinet trying to escape, but Ranz caught her hand.

“Are you going to eat my core?”

Nida didn’t get anything Nida Ranz was saying and just held on to the core more tightly, which gave Ranz pain.

“UGGH!! Stop! ” He let go of her and screamed in pain.

Nida ran away and went out of the conference room, holding on to the core.

“Is this deja vu?” she asked herself, as she felt like she was experiencing the same thing that happened decades ago.

She hadn’t gone far away yet, but Ranz appeared in front of her in his wolf form again.

Her knees give in and she loses the strength to run anymore.

She wanted to scream, but there was no voice coming out of her mouth. She was panicking and cowering in fear as she experienced another horror in the middle of the day.

“Give me that! ” Ranz tried to get the core back to him, but Nida gripped it and hugged it instead.

AAAAAAAAAHHH

He screamed in pain again.

The core became her lifeline. Without it, she doesn’t have anything else to attack the wolf with. She thought.

But she was wrong; it only made Ranz angrier and think that she had changed and just wanted to harm him.

“You!” Ranz grabbed her feet and dragged her back into the conference room.

“N-no!” she shouted as she feared more of her life again.

“AHH! Ugh!” she screamed as Ranz threw her inside and she hit her butt from landing.

“What should I do? What should I do!” she mumbles as she watches Ranz approaching her again.

“Give me back the core!” Ranz grabbed her hand that was holding the core tightly.

Since Ranz was pulling her hand, she pushed it as well, landing on his chest again.

“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, as he felt less pain once the core and her hand were inside him.

“Please disappear!” she sincerely prayed while her hand was clasped on his core.

A silver dust suddenly exploded around her as if a party popper had popped open around them, but before they could wonder what happened, Ranz lost consciousness.

“AAAAAHHH!” Nida screamed while her hand was still stuck on Ranz’s chest.

A silver-furred wolf suddenly came out of Rand’s body and freaked out Nida.

“Don’t be afraid, child; I am a goddess, Mila, and I will p-.”

“No, I DON’T LIKE TO DISAPPEAR!” Nida shouted in fear, not willing to hear another word from a strange being in front of her.

“NO NO NO NO, please disappear. I DON’T WANT TO! DISAPPEAR DISAPPEAR DISAPPEAR BE GONE! ” Nida loudly screamed and sincerely prayed that all the scary things would disappear and that this nightmare would end soon.

“No! child! Don’t! ” Goddess Mila tries to stop her, but soon her body becomes transparent and she soon starts to disappear, as what Nida wished was happening.

“NOOOOO!” screamed the goddess Mila before she vanished completely.

The room became silent once again once the silver-furred wolf disappeared.

“What should I do now?” she asks herself as she stares at her unconscious ex-boyfriend while her hand is still stuck inside his chest.
