n'Could this be because this Purple Slime was some kind of Mini-Boss?' Nero imagined. She put the ring on her left middle finger and saw that in her status the ring added the 3 energy points.

n'Okay, I need to go back now. Another time I'll absorb the monster cores,' Nero thought to herself as she closed the system pages.

n

"She-wolf... We will call you Luna. Come, follow me,

" Nero said her new mascot. Luna understood what Nero said and started to follow her. Another thing that Nero noticed was that although the level of the wolf did not decrease, it was completely healed, however, it lost some of the strength that it had initially. If Luna had been close to reaching level 6 before, she had now returned to her level's initial state.

nNow a wolf and a winged girl were walking through the forest, heading in the direction that had a faint light of fire. It was precisely the fire that Jana had built.

n

"Nero, you're back-

" Jana was petrified shortly after realizing a silver-black wolf was following Nero.

"Nero be careful!

" she cried out in alarm. Jana did not realize that the wolf was following Nero willingly, since Nero appeared from behind the trees and only now had Jana noticed the wolf.

n

"It's okay,

" Nero said to her,

"I tamed it.

"

nNero summed it up in a few words, but Jana understood.

"How did you manage to do that? And more importantly ... Is it okay if I pet it?

"

n

"Yes, her name is Luna,

" Nero said.

n

"Oh, is it a female?

" Jana thought that name was quite feminine, so she deduced it must be a girl.

n

"Yes,

" Nero nodded in response.

n

"What a cute thing, my God!

" One could already see that Jana adored the wolf. She not only caressed her, but also hugged the wolf that growled softly in reluctance but did not dare to do anything that might hurt Jana. Of course, that alone made Jana like the wolf even more, hugging it more and more as she stroked the wolf's soft hair.

n

"Nero, you are very lucky. This wolf is very tame and on top of that it is at level 5!

" Jana could hardly believe it. She spoke so loudly at the end that Choko, who was sleeping, ended up waking.

nChoko came out of the tent, with her hair tousled and asked in a hurry,

"What happened? Is it an enemy attack!?

"

n

"Do you see what you did?

" Nero laughed, while Jana blushed slightly.

n

"But... Look, Choko, isn't this wolf beautiful?

" Jana tried to disguise her embarrassment.

nChoko turned her attention to the wolf being hugged by Jana and she also became delighted; her heart was automatically stolen by this silvery black wolf. She didn't even care that she was at that moment all disheveled and joined Jana to hug and pet the wolf.

n

"Master...

" Nero swore she heard the wolf beg for help. Luna the wolf looked at her with pitiful eyes, clearly uncomfortable with this situation.

n

"Hold on just a little longer until they get tired,

" Nero told Luna.

nBut that's not what happened. The two girls stayed for many minutes, almost hours fawning over the poor wolf. Only after they were completely satisfied, Choko remembered that she had left her hair disheveled and went back into the tent, embarrassed, so she could get ready.

nJana was still reluctant to walk away from the wolf, but Luna hid behind Nero, using her as a shield.

n

"Tsk. You won't escape me for long...

" Jana murmured and also entered the tent.

nBreno, who was observing from the men's tent, was sweating buckets - he couldn't find the right time to leave. Only when Choko and Jana entered the other tent did he decide to come out.

"Good morning.

"

n

"Good morning to you too... Breno, was it?

" Nero asked.

n

"Yes, that's right.

" Breno smiled awkwardly.

n

"How's Jair doing?

" Nero asked.

n

"He'll be fine. He just had a bit of a fever this morning, but I gave him medicine and it's gone. Now, he just needs to wake up,

" Breno said, looking very relieved.

n

"That's nice,

" Nero smiled.

nBreno nodded and a silence came over the place...

n

"This wolf, I am very surprised that you have managed to domesticate it,

" Breno said suddenly. He knew a little about wolves and knew it was not an easy task to tame a wild wolf. In addition, this one was a level 5 monster wolf.

n

"I basically saved this wolf's life, so Luna willingly started to follow me.

" Nero lied a little.

n

"I see... Anyway, congratulations. This wolf will be of great help to you in battle. And she doesn't seem to be in adulthood, so she still has a lot of opportunity to grow,

" Breno said with a small smile.

n

"Beautiful wolf...

" Jana returned. She didn't even notice Breno, she went straight to Luna who was running desperately from her.

n

"Haha!

" Nero didn't know why, but she started to laugh watching this scene. Even Breno was laughing secretly.

nChoko returned and after saying good morning to Breno, she joined Jana in chasing Luna, running through the grass of the forest.

n

"Okay then, don't tease the wolf too much. We still need to walk a ways until we reach Esfin Town.

" Breno decided to intervene, however he regretted it bitterly soon after receiving a death glare from Jana and Choko. But his words were effective, as the two stopped chasing Luna.

n

"Okay...

" The two girls were dripping with sweat. The wolf was very fast and slippery to catch, which made the two girls run after the wolf without success.

n

"Awoo, awoo...

" Luna howled softly in protest to her owner who did nothing to stop her being chased by these two girls. Nero obviously pretended not to see anything and started to whistle.

nBreno pulled Jair out of their tent and carried him on his back while Jana, Nero, and Choko disassembled the tents. Having done all this, the group of four people, a hybrid, and a wolf began to make their way through the forest.

nOn the way, they encountered many Slimes which were easily defeated. Nero killed a Slime and went to use

"Plunder

" on it, using a fake Hunter Card to disguise what she was doing.

n

"My wolf, I missed you so much!

" A 155 cm tall man in bandit clothes appeared from behind the trees and jumped in front of Nero's group. He pointed at the wolf while screaming longingly, as if he had found his lost pet.

n

"Awoooo!

"

nLuna made a fierce expression as she growled and howled. The wolf did not seem at all happy with the arrival of the little bandit and even seemed to be angry with him.

n

"Get lost!

" Nero warned. She didn't want to waste her time on this small thug.

n

"Girl... It is not right to take what belongs to others. This wolf is mine. It is better to return it, or prepare to suffer the consequences.

" The little thief who wore a dark green cloth all over his head just leaving his eyes, mouth, and nose sticking out, strictly warned Nero, pulling a dagger from behind his back.

n

"You know... I (oresama) am in a great mood, but if you continue to be irrational... Well, it's your choice.

" Nero took a bow out of her inventory. Of course, she pretended to take it out of the Hunter Card.

nA dark arrow appeared when she pulled the string. She herself was surprised by this; she just wanted to scare the little bandit. However, the dark arrow

"escaped

" from her fingers. Okay, she let it out on purpose, but it was aimed 2 meters away from the little thug. But who would have guessed that the

"smart

" little thug would

"dodge

" in the direction of the arrow?
