EP.78 Shedia
Werewolf.
It refers to a human who can transform into a wolf-faced, half-human, half-beast that walks on two legs. Although they are already a little far from humans in that we can transform into half humans and half beast, humans are humans.
At least they think so, and that’s why they live in hiding among humans.
‘It’s a little different in this game.’
Shedia is the only werewolf that appears in Hero’s Party.
This is because the number of dogs has decreased so much.
The reason is that when you become a werewolf, you lose your sanity and become ferocious.
This is the reason why Shedia lost her mind to the moonstone and jumped into the river.
Moonstone is an item that definitively prevents confusion and runaway status abnormalities. If you possess a moonstone, you can maintain your sanity even if you become a werewolf.
👌👌👌👌
As Shedia stood up, the river splashed on both sides. With her wet hair and clothes hanging down, she looked like a drowning dog.
A dog came out of the river and looked at me.
“Give it up.”
She growls and tries to run at me.
Oops, no
I held the moonstone necklace in my hand.
“If you comes, I will crush it and then throw it into the river. If you don’t want to be a chicken chasing dog, would you better stop?”
Shedia flinched and stopped moving.
She clenched her fists and trembled as she looked at my hand holding the moonstone.
Bite your lips gently. I’m bleeding, girl.
“…what do you want?”
“You finally understood the situation. My request is not that difficult. You just need to follow me for a while and be my friend.”
“Colleague?”
As if asking what it was, Shedia tilted her head.
“You don’t know what a colleague is?”
“Do not know.”
Shedia speaking proudly.
I wanted to make fun of her for a moment, but since she was a kid who lived her whole life in a dark closet, I thought it might be.
“Comrades are… people who grow up through fun and sometimes difficult experiences together, sometimes supporting each other’s backs, and sometimes risking their lives for each other.”
Shedia, hearing my explanation, made a blank face.
Did you understand that properly?
Shedia, who had a blank face for a while, nodded.
“Okay. colleague. I will.”
Then she reached out to me.
“Now give me the moonstone.”
“No.”
Shedia narrowed her eyes.
“You promised to give it to me when I became a colleague.”
“If you get the moonstone, it’s the promise you made earlier, and it’s just going to bounce off of it. For such an uncertain deal, a solid trusting relationship has not been established between us.”
“?”
“…I can’t believe it. I’ll keep the moonstone and give it to you later when it’s appropriate.”
Shedia made a blank face again and then nodded.
“Oh, and you can do it if you want to make a night raid. If you had the confidence to steal the moonstone faster than I could pulverize it.”
“Shit.”
Shedia clicked her tongue as if she was sorry.
I smiled, put the moonstone necklace in my arms, and started walking along the road again. Shedia followed me a little further away.

“I haven’t heard of you going to Oulheim.”
Shedia said with a prickly expression on her face.
“You didn’t ask.”
When I respond like that, she out her lips this time.
“If you go to Oulheim, I will die.”
Oulheim is the capital of the Kingdom of Alitia.
There was the stronghold of the Zadokhoe, and as such, their limbs were also widespread.
What she’s worried about is that her owner finds out that she’s walking with him.

Group 1 was annihilated, but the appearance of Shedia, who lives alone and walks with me, will only look like betrayal.
“You won’t die.”
“How do you know that?”
“I won’t let you die.”
“How?”
“It’s a secret.”
After giving a rough answer, I got along with the people in the bar again. It’s not difficult to get along. Just buy them a glass of ale.
I went shoulder to shoulder with them, singing and drinking, and asking when the festival was held in Oulheim.
Then he slowly turned his head.
Shedia was still staring at him.
With her characteristic dazed expression.

In the morning, until evening, they undergo rigorous training just before death. After training, they goes back to the darkened room, where the only advantage is that it is spacious, and they eats the food the vampires give them.
That is the life of the werewolves captured by Kelly Dan.
A life worse than a slave, with no respect for intelligent life.
Shedia had no major complaints there.
Since she was captured at a very young age, she didn’t know that she had a free life.
But those who remember life in the outside world were different. They wanted to free themselves from the shackles on their legs. After successful training, they hoped to become a great assassin and experience the outside world once more.
And Shedia trampled on those beautifully shone hopes.
In us called loneliness.
The one and only blood and the sister’s hope.
She is a sinner
She has a duty to atone for all who trampled on her.
But she could not perform her duty.
Because the blessing of the clan, which was an advantage when training, has now become a curse that binds her.
As she was educated, she waited for the opportunity to come. Continue in the narrow, dark basement. In the end, she was given a valuable opportunity that will never come again.
Moonstone.
A treasure that has been said to prevent the runaway of werewolves since ancient times.
The reason Shedia behaved quietly without escaping from the social reading society is because when the full moon rises, she is forced to run wild with its energy.
No matter how much you hide, once you run into a run wild, it will leave a huge mark that you can’t control.
In that case, being caught is only a matter of time, and at the most, there is no reason to run away.
But what if we can stop the gone wild?
There’s no problem with chasing a vampire. Raised as an assassin her entire life, she was confident she wouldn’t be caught.
That’s why you need a moonstone.
A night when everyone is asleep.
Shedia got up from her bed. Starting from her feet and ankles, her body sank into the shadows.
When she was educated as an assassin, it was unusually a skill she learned only by the instructor’s dictation.
Shedia was the only one among all werewolves, not just her age, who could use this skill.
The vampires who had been teaching her made a fuss about restoring the lost secret, but it was just a convenient technique for Shedia.
Shedia, completely assimilated with the shadows, crossed the doorway and headed to Cloud’s room.
– Drooling…
The strong smell of alcohol and snoring.
Shedia hid in the shadows and waited for about an hour. There is no change in the appearance of Cloud lying on the bed.
Convinced that he was completely asleep, Shedia slowly emerged from the shadows.
She saw Cloud lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
‘No grudges.’
No, actually, it’s a little, but it’s not life-threatening.
She just kill him because she need it, as always.
Shedia took her hand towards the sword at the waist.
At that moment, Cloud opened his eyes and kicked Shedia in the stomach.
“Ugh..!”
Shedia was unable to withstand the shock applied to her abdomen and fell to the floor.
“You did it after all.”
With an ominous feeling, Shedia lifted her head.
Cloud let go of his clenched fists.
Fragments shining blue enough to be seen even in a dark room flowed down to the floor.
“Ah…”
Her eyes trembled as she looked at the pieces of jewelry that had been completely shattered.
That was hope.
A hope that will remove the curse that has been holding her for a long time and give her a chance for atonement.
But that hope was shattered.
She will forever be bound by the curse of the full moon and die without atonement.
Even death will not be forgiven by them.
It was when Shedia’s eyes, who had fallen into despair, gradually lost their light.
A round blue jewel appeared before her eyes.
“..?”
What is this
Freeze for 2 seconds.
Shedia, who had grasped the situation, reached out her hand hastily, but there was no rush. The moonstone bounced up and fell into Cloud’s hand.
Shedia looked up at Cloud with a blank expression on her face, wondering what the hell happened.
Cloud grinned and squatted down to make eye contact with Shedia.
“I didn’t even think that it would be easy to get over with just one oral contract. I expected it to bounce at least once.”
“Then this is…”
“It’s not a moonstone, it’s just a similar-looking gem. Did you just see the real moonstone?”
Cloud placed a hand on Shedia’s head.
“I can make it cute with just one bouncing. But not twice. If something like this happens again…”
Cloud gave the hand holding the moonstone a little force. Shedia was horrified and shook her head to tell him not to. Cloud smiled and stroked Shedia’s head.
“You know if I don’t tell you?”
Shedia nodded her head.
“Then you won’t be doing this in the future, are you?”
– Nodding.
“Are you going to be a good girl who listens well?”
-Okay… uh…?
As Shedia nodded faintly, Cloud gave strength to the hand holding the moonstone again.
– Nod nod nod nod.
Shedia nodded frantically.

A woman poked her face and looked into the hallway.
After confirming that there was no one in the hallway, she pulled out two curves that had been wrapped in cloth.
She took a deep breath and took a step with her right foot.
At the same time, her arms moved gently like flowing waves, swinging a curved sword.
It spins, spins, spins again.
Long orange hair intertwined with a red veil, and a thin skirt fluttered, exuding splendor.
Ripe copper-colored skin and breasts that shake with each step made beauty by adding femininity to splendor.
However, the blade hidden in that beauty was sharp.
If you approach it prematurely, drunk with beauty, your neck will run away.
‘I feel good today. If I continue with the next action like this…’
Changes softness to rigidity.
It was a failed move every time, but it seemed to work now.
The moment the woman steps on her left foot for the next movement-
“Katrina! The march will start soon, where are you going?!”
A sharp shout echoed in the hallway.
Surprised, she hurriedly hid her sword and put on a veil.
“Yes, sister! I’m out!”
The third-class dancer, Katarina, ran out into the hallway.
