Chapter 31 – Ao Will Protect Master! [Ao’s POV]

[Ao’s POV]

I’ve been with Mom from the moment I was born.

Mom was kind and smelled nice, but she was always worried about a lot of things.

“Listen, Ao. We were born as a special race. We live as normal beastmen, but if our true identities are revealed, bad people will come after us. That’s why you must never turn into a wolf in front of other people.”

“Okay!”

I was in the form of a wolf cub the moment I was born.

But at one point, I was able to turn into a human, and Mom told me not to turn into a wolf.

So I followed Mom’s instructions.

“Look at this!”

It was the mountain where me and other children always played, and the village children were climbing trees to play.

I could only watch from afar, and I couldn’t join in.

But I loved watching them play happily.

But then one day, a child fell from the tree, and I frantically tried to help him.

“Whooaa!!! A wolf! Why is there a wolf here!?”

I just wanted to help, but when I picked up the child that had fallen from the tree and saved him, everyone was surprised to see me. Without a second thought, I had transformed into a wolf.

I didn’t realize that this would be the beginning of the end.

“Fufu, I saw it. Who would’ve thought you were a Fenrir~? This is the best news ever!”

A voice that came from the darkness said this, and then it disappeared immediately.

When I apologized to Mom for turning into a wolf, she looked sad. We immediately went into the mountains to hide away from the villagers.

But that voice followed us everywhere, and it eventually took me away from Mom.

I was taken to a pitch black place, and I didn’t know where it was, and I didn’t know how much time passed after that.

I was taken to various places, and tears always flowed down my face because Mom was never with me.

Why… Why do I have to suffer this sadness?

Is it wrong that I turned into a wolf to save that child?

Is it wrong because I broke my promise to Mom?

Is it wrong because I was born as a special species?

I miss Mom.

During the time I couldn’t see her, eating became painful, I was beaten and kicked, and I thought I was going to die.

At least, I want to see Mom for the last time.

“It’s almost done. Let’s get to the finishing touches.”

“Aoooooooo!!!”

Suddenly, the scenery changed, and in front of me was Mom, who had turned into a wolf.

I was so happy…

“Mom!”

When I called out to her, she looked at me.

But then… I was strangled and lost consciousness.

I thought I was going to die.

But Mom was in tatters too, and she was searching for me.

I don’t want to die until I see Mom again.

Someone, please… Please help Mom.

I want to help her if I can, but I’m too weak.

Please. I’m willing to give up everything, so please save Mom.

♢

It feels warm….

Am I…alive?

When I woke up, I smelled a strange scent. But it was a nice smell.

“Ao, I’ll do what I can. If I can help your mother, I will.”

He gave me a warm place to sleep, delicious food, a nice bath, and clean clothes.

Mom said that there are good people in the world, that there are people who will love me.

If I meet such a person, I should call them “Master” and let them make me happy.

“Thank you!! Ao will devote Ao’s life to Master!”

I thought it was all over.

I knew deep down that no one would help me.

Mom said that there were good people out there, but I had never met anyone like that.

There were only cruel people, and I thought everything was over.

Yet, when I woke up, I was in a warm room that smelled wonderful.

When I got closer, unlike others, this person didn’t smell bad.

He was clean, smelled nice, slept with me, smiled at me, and stroked my head.

I felt so happy and I wanted to be with this person forever.

♢

Master took my hand and started walking.

“Ao, let’s go see your mother.”

“Okay! But Master, is it really okay?”

Deep down, I know Mom can’t be saved.

“Mom! Please! Ao’s here! Ao wants the kind and gentle Mom to be with Ao again! Ao wants to see Mom’s smile!”

But Master is still trying to help Mom.

He genuinely cares about Mom and me.

“Eeek!!!”

“Nyaaa!!!”

The two beastmen who were protecting me were blown away.

This is no good. If this continues, even Master would be hurt by Mom.

What should I do?

“Ao. One day, when you grow up and you meet someone important to you, think of that person and make a wish.”

“A wish?”

“Yes, a wish to protect that person. Wish to walk alongside them. If you do, God will grant you strength.”

Mom’s kind face and voice came to mind, and I started making a wish.

“I want to protect Master!! From Mom, and from everyone else. Master is kind, gives me food, stays with me, keeps me warm, and I want to stay by Master’s side forever. I love Master so much!!!!!!”

As I wished strongly, my body began to heat up.

It grew hotter and hotter until it felt like an explosion coursing through me!

“ROOOARRRRRR!!! AARRRGGHHH!!!!!”

“Ao?”

Master called my name.

It’s okay, Master! Ao will protect you!!!

“ROOOARRRRRR!!!”

“UOOOARRRRRR!!!”

I felt my body growing larger. I won’t lose to Mom.

I won’t let Mom hurt Master!

[Salt’s POV]

What’s going on?

Ao suddenly grew up right before my eyes, becoming a beautiful woman.

“Ao?”

“Ao will protect Master!!!”

Even her tone of voice has changed, and Ao, now in a form that could rival the Demon Wolf, turned into a large wolf and began to fight.

When Mia and Honey-sama were blown away, I thought it was over, but Ao truly is a mythical creature.

But with this, I can concentrate on chanting my spell.

“The Demon Wolf’s wounds are healed. The purification of this entire area is complete. Now, I just need to eliminate the miasma that has been absorbed into the Demon Wolf. Demon Wolf! I ask you again. What did you see within the miasma? What drove you to despair?!”

I reached into the despair deep within the miasma that was eating away at the Demon Wolf’s heart.

“Exorcism!!! What… what is this?!”

There was a beautiful woman who broke down in tears, holding the baby Ao in her arms.

What I saw was a beautiful woman, crying while holding a baby Ao tightly.

♢

T/N: Hoo… So Ao has turned into a beautiful woman now *wink, wink*

Muehehe, the dream is alive boys!
