The White Wolf and the Young Wolf (1)
Winter to remember.
I remember his childhood as being at a level where he was not overdoing it.
‘But now…’
For some reason, it seems to be overdoing it a little.
[…]
Georeum stared at the old warehouse on the far side of the pier with a slightly uneasy gaze.
‘…Is it really okay?’
What stood in his gaze was obvious concern.
In the warehouse. Normally, only the crowd would have slept comfortably in this place.
There was a slightly different species together.
A plum tree snake, one of the low-level monsters with a rather ferocious appearance.
That guy was the target.
[Tsutsutsutsu!]
That guy who was injured and was bleeding all over.
He wagged the bells of his tail from side to side as if he had been bitten at a dead end.
He was glaring at the young werewolves, Inari and Luna, who surrounded him on either side.
The appearance of desperately showing off one’s threat and forming hostility,
Georgi was lying on his stomach with his chin resting on the outskirts of the pier, a little far away, watching.
‘No matter how you look at it…’
It was a subtle anguish that stood in the snow of the winter watching them.
‘Isn’t that a bit overbearing?’
Such a thought occurred to me. It seemed like overkill.
In fact, even in the winter situation, it was like that.
‘I think it was when I was almost half a year old when I finished my first hunt…’
Winter had plenty of time. There was also leeway.
He started hunting only after he had grown physically.
Yuhua Lin, Mother of Winter, made sure that he had fully prepared her for himself, and then she brought game for him and her two sisters to deal with.
Even with that, he drained all his strength and injured him to the point where he was almost unable to move.
Even more so in the case of his two sisters.
Yui, who was born a year earlier, had already grown to the point where signs of s*xual characteristics had already appeared, and Yumi was almost the same.

In fact, until winter grows and prepares itself physically,
They said that they had never tried hunting on their own.
‘However, the situation that Inari or Luna is facing now is completely different from mine. Why?’
Why?
Inari. And Luna.
They were born only three months ago at most.
But already, their mothers are forcing their children to fight their prey.
‘I’m sure it’s right to overdo it…’
But I can’t figure out why.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was the same.
Actually, Eve and Rubris.
Looking into their eyes, I could see that they didn’t look that good either.
It’s like-…
‘…It’s like an unwanted abuse.’
* * * *
The day was repeated.
Winter began hunting again with the pack, and the return routine did not begin until late afternoon.
And in the meantime-.
As expected, the same routine was repeated in their home, the warehouse.
‘As expected.’
It was late at night after hunting.
I thought while enjoying the leisure time of the setting sun, watching the scene in the warehouse in winter.
‘Today as well.’
[Hyaaak-!]
[Kyaaak!]
Inari and Luna.
The two struggled to write unfamiliar beast shoes,
It faced its prey in the form of a jumbled half-beast with not even its hair standing up properly.
A fight between two young individuals.
Radical fights with prey continued from time to time.
[Kiyaaak!]
The Mad Hatter Rabbit, a low-level monster with quite a large body and fierce teeth like saw blades, and two young werewolves fought.
Even if it’s a rabbit, that guy isn’t normal.
Those guys are extremely ferocious.
It is because he is literally a mad man, a rabbit whose eyes have been blinded, so he is a reckless tribe.
Even though it was only a low-level monster, it had eyes on predators stronger than itself and recklessly attacked it with its sharp teeth erect.
And because of fighting such a guy.
Inarina Luna’s body quickly grew scarred. Her thin, thin arms and legs were covered with deep, sharp cuts from her knife, and small cuts were made all over her face.
The fight between the two young cubs continued even late at night,
The result is-.
It was the same as what you see.
[Mandible! Mandible!]
[Curl-!]
As if they had barely won, Inari and Luna sat down breathing heavily.
The two’s bodies were full of wounds after they had released their beast shoes.
When I unlocked my beast shoes and exposed my bare body, I could see the scars all over my body even more clearly.
[…]
Winter watching that scene was also not comfortable.
To my surprise, the other adults had already been away from the warehouse a long time ago.
They were sleeping in groups of threes and threes outside. It’s like getting hit by the falling snow.
‘Of course it’s going to be burdensome.’
He thought as he listened to the sound of the two breathing heavily.
‘…Because they fight one after another with their bodies not yet fully developed.’
It was natural.
Because he fought his prey with an immature body, not with enough extras and physical growth like Winter and his two sisters.
Moreover, such days were repeated over and over again.
It’s all the more exhausting.
Even when Winter and his pack went out hunting, there must have been more than one, in fact he must have fought more than he encountered.
‘The wounds on my body are increasing as time goes by.’
Lick. Lick.
Eve and Rubris each held their children in their arms and licked their wounds.
It was because they were well aware of the hardships they had suffered.
“Ahhh…!”
As I licked the wound with my tongue, Inari and Luna shivered slightly as if it was painful.
However, this action rather disinfects the wound and helps in faster regeneration.
The two of them were in pain, but they never refused.
It was an instinctive act.
[…]
Winter half buried his head in his thick paws,
I watched it quietly with my eyes narrowed.
‘Obviously, if you see them like that, it doesn’t seem like they’re creating this situation because they don’t like Inari and Luna.’
It is clear that they care about their children.
I could see that right away when I looked at the way he cared for his wounded children every night.
Looking at the scars on Inari and Luna’s bodies.
It was proof of that, as if he was not comfortable with his sad eyes.
However, the reason was completely unknown to Winter.
‘…I’m sure there’s something there.’
Why?
I can’t figure out why.
‘I don’t think Eve or Lou Breece would push their children to this limit just because they liked it.’
* * * *
The next day.
Something happened.
In the late afternoon, Winter followed the group and returned from hunting safely.
“Hiyah!!”
With a screeching scream, Luna jumped out of the warehouse.
‘Huh?’
For Winter, who is trying to turn her head to see what’s going on.
Luna ran up screaming and hid behind him.
[…?]
Winter blinked at the sight.
‘Luna? Why is that?’
Luna was very surprised.
In response to Luna’s behavior of hiding behind Winter, who was normally so wary, he tried to control her movements and watched the silent sheep.
That’s probably because Luna was too timid for a werewolf.
For a while, if the big Winter moved, Luna, who was much smaller than him, had a big difference in body size, as if a small hill would move, so she refrained from moving as much as possible.
[Kieek!]
Soon, screams were heard from inside the warehouse.
A small, low-class monster that emits light with a sound, the ‘furry ladybug’.
“…Hmm.”
Rubris firmly held onto such a monster so that it could not move.
I looked disapprovingly at Luna hiding behind Winter’s back with fierce eyes.
Luna met her eyes.
“Ugh, ugh!”
After a while, he shuddered and hid behind Winter’s back.
‘Ah, no way…’
That’s it.
Winter was able to discern what had happened in the postwar situation.
‘Forcibly trying to fight the prey, so in the end, Luna, who could no longer endure with her weak mentality, ran away.’
As Rubris, the most reliable mother entity, forced a fight,
Luna, who could no longer be trusted, hid behind the mild-tempered winter among the crowd.
It was a somewhat absurd moment for winter.
Her ‘The situation that scares her mother the most is coming. Are all these things happening?’
Rubris with a troubled expression,
Luna who is afraid to even make eye contact with her.
Of course, winter ended up caught in the middle of such an ambiguous situation.
It was an embarrassing situation.
Because, for those werewolves, childrearing is strictly carried out by the individual mother.
It was a situation that Winter, who was just a group of colleagues, could never intervene.
