That wolf over there...
Gah...!
Hey! Are you okay?
Wh-what...? Outsiders? Why are outsiders all the way here...?
I brought them here.
Haight! Hah, a coward like you would bring outsiders into this.
Reaching out for help in times of need is a form of bravery.
Hmph! We are warriors. We do not need help from outsiders.
Hmph. But your camp's already gone to the dogs. What use is honor if you're dead?
You...! Are you here to mock us? You damn humans...!
Please, just listen to us. We're here to help you.
Lay down your pride and tell us what you know. We might be able to save some of your people.
What would you rather lose? Your pride or your family? You and I both know which is worse.
Gah...!
Since I'm just a gatekeeper, I wasn't aware of what happened deeper inside.
I don't know much either. The fighting started without any warning.
Have you seen any suspicious people around?
No. I may not be a warrior, but I'm a qualified gatekeeper.
I haven't seen anyone other than us wolves around here, either.
Can you tell us more about what happened before the fighting broke out?
It was around noon, when we were divvying up the meat from our daily hunt. A small group started fighting.
At first, I thought it was nothing... But then everyone else joined in on the chaos.
About that meat... Was it from a monster that you recently hunted?
Yes. We eat everything the same day we catch it.
...That must be the problem. What do you think?
The wolves ate meat from corrupted monsters, so the corruption spread to them...
That's certainly a possibility.
Did you eat it too?
No... I was in charge of handing out the meat.
Wait, if the meat is the problem... Lupe...! Lupe also ate the meat!
Th-the Mighty Warrior?!
...Well, that's not good.
This is why I always tell Cloud not to eat things he finds lying on the ground...
Yeah...? Mmm, but...
Hey! What's up with that half-hearted response?
There should be even more members of our pack deeper inside.
Unfortunately... It'll be very difficult to subdue them without hurting them.
This is a cave, yes? We'll just fill it up with some sleeping gas, and before you know it the little wolfies will go night night. ♡
I'm back!
Already? How'd it go?
Perfectly. Shall we go take a look?
They are indeed all unconscious.
Hm? Effective, right?
Yeah... It's like they're... dead...
Haha!
They aren't... dead, right?
Gah...!
Hey, are you okay?
Haight...! Run! You should save yourself... Gah...!
They're all severely injured.
The fact that they're all still conscious is a testament to their strength.
Oh. If we just leave them like this, they might never recover...
Is there any way we can save them? I'll do anything!
There should be cavernblooms in a cave like this.
If I can get just one flower, I can make some first aid treatments with the ingredients I have on me.
Flowers...! I know where those are!
We just need to combine the cavernblooms like this, mm-hmm, and give it just a little tap of that... ♡
Ugh... H-humans...? Gah...!
Relax. I'm a doctor. This is treatment. ♡
The medicine is more effective than I would have imagined.
Oh? ♡ Are you finally awakening to my many charms?
...Do not speak to me in that tone ever again.
There's another person over there! Please, you have to help them!
...
Ugh...
Are you okay? Can you hear me?
You're...
Who did this to you?
Lupe... Lupe, he... attacked us...
You should run... None of us are a match for the Mighty Warrior...
Lupe attacked our pack...? He must also be out of his mind! This is a disaster.
Are you going to challenge Lupe?
Of course.
...You should turn back here. It's too dangerous... I'll figure out what to do about Lupe...
We promised we'd help you. We'll see this through to the end.
He also has that thing we need, remember?
...
Haight... This smell... Humans...?
Lupe? Have you come to your senses?
Stand back, Haight!
Our brothers... How are they...?
I gave them first aid. They're sound asleep.
You have my gratitude.
Listen. My mind is not my own.
I am holding on with all my might, but at any second I could become a violent monster again.
I see... The key.
Yes... This threat... Having the aid of Custos would go a long way...
However... I am afraid that my body is no longer listening to my mind.
I can feel the world fading away...
Defeat me and claim the key.
If you are able to slay me, then that... that is proof enough that you are worthy of the key...
And... If I am to fall here... I leave the fate of the pack in your hands... GRAAAAH!!!
AHHHHHHHHH!!!
Aahhh!
That's one menacing aura... He's fully corrupted.
Hut!
Hehe, time for a little nap...
Ah! This key is ours, as per our promise.
They should have enough medicine now. Well then, shall we head back to Hananis?
Thank you for saving Lupe. I won't forget what you've done for us.
That's what friends do. Help each other when we can. We are friends now, right?
Ah! Love blossoming between two different species... ♡ I love these stories... ♡
Um... I'm still not quite sure what she means sometimes... But yes. You are a friend to me and my pack.
...No need to pay any heed to that woman and her depravity.
Hehe. But please pay attention to the instructions for the medicine, okay? ♡
Oh, and since he'll be dangerous, make sure to tie him up real tight. ♡ Hmm... That sounds fun, maybe I should...
You really don't know when to stop!
Of course! I will to look after my pack until the corruption has faded.
Chin up, Haight. You're a lot braver than you give yourself credit for.
I-is that so...? You're the first person to say that about me... It's a bit embarrassing.
Once everything is over... Remember to come back. Our pack will do anything to repay you for your kindness.
This is a secret passage that only we wolves know about.
It should let you return much more quickly.
