A night with a full moon.
　A group of people were wandering in the mountains of the Unoha region under the cover of darkness. All of them were armed, and there was a somber air about them.
　The man who seemed to be the leader of the group was particularly large and stared at the depths of the forest.

"Are you sure it was in this direction?
Hey, hey. I'm sure. I saw him coming back from the zoo.
Still, it's a shame you were taken in by the zoo, isn't it? ......
That's right. I've finally gotten rid of one of the kids.

　The leader sighs and then smirks.

But we're lucky if there are any more kids. Let's round them up, shall we?
"Yes!　I've got all kinds of poisons, and I'm not afraid of my parents!
One kid is worth a hundred gold pieces. What should we do when it's all over?
Let's go to the whorehouse and have some fun!

　The vile laughter echoed in the dark forest.
　To all appearances, they are a group of poachers. That's why ...... has decided what to do with them.

"Ice Bind.
What?

　Suddenly the ground beneath their feet froze, and the screams of the men echoed through the mountains.
　They tried to break the ice that had engulfed them up to their knees, but even with their swords they could not get a scratch.
　Allen wandered in front of them as they fussed.

You've really come a long way, haven't you? It's nice to be able to read the thoughts of the bad guys.
What the hell?　You're ......!
"I'm not worthy of a name. I'm just a chaperone this time.
What's a chaperone ......?

　The men's faces turned pale.
　There was a thud as Fenrir's mother poked her head out from between the ...... trees. Of course, the other children were with her.
　She scowled at the group and growled in a low voice.

"Garrule, ......!
What the hell?

　That was enough for her to sense Fenrir and the others' anger. And the fate that awaited them.
　The men began to shake and beg for their lives.

"Please, please, please ......!　Please spare our lives!
"What do you mean? Of course we won't kill them. We'll just turn him in to the authorities.
"Oh, really, ......?

　The fear is gone from the men's faces.
　Allen's words were true. I asked Charlotte to convince me not to take the life of a poacher if I found one. But ...... of course they will retaliate.

"Well, well, well. Before that, ...... "Defense Up.
"Heh.

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.
　It's a spell that boosts your defense.

　But it's a little less effective than that. A slap won't hurt or itch, but a full-on punch will hurt a bit. It's the perfect balance.
　Allen gave the Fenrir family a refreshing smile.

"Now, no matter how much you do, you won't die. Now you won't die no matter how much you try. Let your resentment out all you want.
"Gullllllll!
"Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　And so the poachers were gobbled up by Fenrir's family all night long like bones for a snack.



　The next morning.

"Thank you very much for ......!

　At the entrance of the hotel, the mermaid concierge bows her head.
　The mermaid concierge had come all the way to see Allen and his friends off as they were leaving. She continues smiling.

"I heard you, sir!　I heard that you saved Fenrir!
"Huh. Well.

　Allen smiled thinly and patted Charlotte on the shoulder.

By the way, this is the guy who did it.
"Oh, really?
What?

　Charlotte's voice was shrill.
　She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth slowly.



It was the zoo people who healed Fenrir's injuries, and Allen-san caught the bad guys, right?　I was just telling you a story. It's not much. ......
But it wouldn't have worked out the way it did without you.

　Fenrir's child continued to refuse treatment, and the parents' anger did not stop.
　If that had happened, Allen would have hurt Fenrir's parents to protect the zoo.

"So, you can take credit for this. You should be proud of yourself.
"I, of .......

　Charlotte pouted and stared at her hands.
　The mermaid turns to her and bows her head again.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Now you can see them healthy again!
"...... Yes!

　Charlotte responded with a bright smile.
　The three-day, two-night trip to the hot springs was a fun and ...... rewarding event for Charlotte.
