Haha ...... haha ...... haha!

　Uru walked away from Brett and the others and ran down the main street at night.

　There was a lot of traffic.
　He almost ran into people coming from across the street several times and finally collided with one.

　The other person was a large man.
　Ur is knocked off and falls on the cobblestone floor.

The man grabbed Uru by the chest and said, "Ouch, what a kid.

　The man grabs Ur by the chest and glares at him.

The man grabs Ur by the chest and glares at him. "I'm sorry, .......

　Ur apologizes.
　But the other man spits at him and clamps his chest even tighter.

"You think you can get away with that, huh?

"Ugh, .......

　The man raises his fist and shakes it.
　The man raises his fist and is about to strike Ur, but a woman who appears to be his companion stops him.

That's all you need to do.

......!　Hey, kid, watch your back.

Yes, yes .......

　The man lets go of the urls and walks down the street again.
　The woman who seemed to be his companion slumped against him and they disappeared into the night.

　Uru stumbles to her feet and begins to walk.
　Uru staggers to her feet and begins to walk, alone.

"Huh ......, why is my life like this ......?

　He mumbles and looks up at the sky.
　In the night sky, there was a golden moon that was about to reach full moon in a few days.

I wonder what we would have done if the concert hadn't been on a full moon night. ......

　Uru is a werewolf.
　In the light of the full moon, he loses his reason and becomes a monster ruled by the urge for violence and killing.

　That's why on full moon days, he retreats to a cabin deep in the mountains, far from the city, and never steps outside.
　This is a habit that Uru has been following for years.

　In the past few years, Uru has been able to control the power of lycanthropy that torments him to some extent.

　He can now turn into a beast of his own will even on nights other than those with a full moon, and he does not lose his reason when he does so.
　He can now use his power as a werewolf at will.

　When he takes the form of a werewolf, his body is transformed into a muscular one that is nearly two meters long.

　The power of a werewolf is comparable to that of a brave man, and if he wanted to, he could easily subdue the man he just bumped into.

　But Ur has no intention of doing that.

　He was afraid that he would not be able to live in human society if he did so, but more than anything, he was afraid of becoming a monster of his own will.

　If he used his power to harm people with violence, he would become a real monster.

　However, such thoughts of Uru's are drowned out on the night of the full moon.

　Uru's usual kindness, rationality, and willpower are all erased before the violent impulse that fills everything when bathed in the light of the full moon.

　That's why Uru has avoided interacting with people as much as possible in order to avoid turning herself into a monster.

　The price he pays for this is loneliness.
　He has always lived alone, lurking in the shadows so as not to be noticed.

I don't even know why I'm living ...... anymore. ...... Maybe it's time to stop living .......

　I don't even know why I'm living anymore. I guess I should stop living." Muttering this, Ur sighs and walks through the night.

　I have to go home again today.
　To that all alone house.

　After her mother died of an illness, Uru had been living her life by force, but she no longer understood the meaning of life.

　The one thing that supported Ur's heart was idols.

　Seeing the girls on stage with their shining smiles always cheered me up a little.

　I longed for the sight of those lovely girls dancing and singing with all their sweat, and I even had a faint dream that I could be like them.

　But the one and only chance Uru had to be like them ended up like this.

　The concert was on a full moon night.
　I can only think that fate is mocking me.

But I'm glad I did this. You didn't have to bother Rio and the others for my sake.

　He said, and laughed.

　Rio, Iris, and Maifa - they were all cute, cheerful, kind, and like the sun.

　They all seemed to get along well with each other, and even had good-looking older brothers next to them.
　They were so different from me that it was ridiculous to even be jealous.

　It's ridiculous that Uru would form an idol unit with those girls in the first place.

I'm not sure what to make of this. We are ...... why are we like this ......?

　Tears overflowed from Ur's eyes.
　The girl wipes it away with the sleeve of her dress.

　Let's go home to our own home.
　One night's sleep in that empty house will remind me of my worthiness.

　As Uru walks down the street at night, thinking about this...

　He saw a horse-drawn carriage coming from the front.

　He couldn't tell if it was a wealthy merchant or a nobleman, but it must have belonged to a rich man.
　The people on the street made way for it as they watched the two-horse carriage, its hooves clacking on the cobblestones as it slowly made its way.

　Ull also vaguely tried to move to the side of the street, avoiding the path.

　But then he realized...

　There was a little boy, not far from where the carriage was going.
　He was looking around like he was separated from his parents.

　The driver of the carriage was looking away and did not seem to notice the child.

　The child, too, was looking in the wrong direction, unaware that the horseshoes of the large carriage were about to run over him.

　The horse weighed more than five human beings.
　If he were to be crushed by the hard horseshoe, the child's body would be in no danger.

"Watch out...!



　Ur's body moved quickly.

　His instincts told him that he would not make it in time in human form, and he instantly turned into a beast.
　His muscles swelled up and the clothes he was wearing ripped apart.

　He then turned into a werewolf, and with his inhuman physical ability that rivaled that of a hero, he ran to the boy who was about to be hit by the carriage, picked him up, and rolled to the side of the street.

　As if to protect the child, the werewolf's body plunged into a pile of crates on the side of the road, making a loud rumbling sound.

　For a while, all the people present were unaware of what had happened.

　But the next thing they knew, a werewolf suddenly appeared in the city, grabbing a small boy and standing on the side of the street.

　The werewolf - Ur - drops the boy to the ground.

　Then the child, who had no idea what had happened to him, saw the werewolf in front of him and cried out with a look of terror.

(......)

　When Uru saw the boy's face, she felt a tightening in her heart.

　Yes, I'm a monster.
　I remembered.

"Aaaaaaah!

　One of the passersby must have raised it.
　A woman's voice that sounded like it was ripping silk echoed through the area.

　For a moment, Uru thought that if she could undo her beastliness, if she could take human form, people would understand her.

　But he quickly discarded that thought.
　If he did that, the whole town would know he was a monster and he wouldn't be able to live in this town anymore.

　I can imagine the people of the city throwing rocks at Ur and trying to drive him out of town.
　I knew that would happen if I unleashed the beast now.

　That's why Uru fled the scene.
　In the form of a werewolf, he ran at once through the frightened people.

　From behind him, he could hear the confusion of the people and the shouts of monsters.

(Oh ...... that's right. I hadn't forgotten about it.

　As Uru runs through the crowd in her werewolf form, she cries out in her heart.

　I'm a monster.
　I'm a monster. I've been made aware of that once again.

"Aaaaaaahhhh!

　Uru let out a howl as if to let out the sorrow in her heart, and ran through the streets of Ravilton at night.
