Lecter banged his fist on the table.

” It’s all because of you. Whenever you go out to the village, you get into a fight with the gangsters.”

“Don’t talk like they didn’t try to rob me. Anyway, we should ask the boss’ permission about this. We can’t leave just because we’re talking amongst ourselves. We must obey the boss.”

Despite having a rebellious character, Axel shrugged his shoulders and admitted gently.

The atmosphere felt like Axel and Lecter were omitting something and she found that suspicious.

However, Cherryl chose to remain silent.

Cade might not allow her to go out due to security issues.

Suddenly, Cole sprang up from his seat.

“Moo! Come here.”

He was looking somewhere and shouting with his hands around his mouth.

From a distance, a black wolf found their group and came in running towards them.

It was a male wolf Cherryl had named ‘Mo’.

The wolf approached quickly, rushing into Cole’s arms as if to tackle him.

Axel got disgusted while watching Cole stroke the wolf.

“Don’t you think I made that mistake on purpose?”

Mo jumped up and down like a spring due to excitement as if Cole was the only one he liked.

The wolf standing on his hind legs was even larger than Cole, whose height was more than one-eighty centimeters, and even his exuberance could look threatening.

The instant he got hit by the beast’s huge front paw, he stumbled with a loud thud.

Axel looked up at him and snorted.

“Even if you’re not smart, does it make sense that you can’t memorize a name even if it only has one syllable? What do you mean by ‘Moo’? Do you mean the herbivore?”

Axel sarcastically asked, “Why don’t you just call it ‘cow’?”

“You’re so mean. Cole has gotten a lot better. It used to be worse.” Lecter said as he handed Lucy a milk bottle while she was slicing a loaf of bread. “Don’t you remember? He used to call us ‘hey’, ‘you’, and ‘man’, instead of our names. We assumed he was a snob. It’s just that he had a hard time memorizing names.”

“Oh. He’s trying to call my name now, despite his poor memory.”

When Cherryl added a word, Lecter smiled.

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Axel shook his chin in disagreement.

“You don’t have to tolerate his nonsense, sister. You gave this lovely wolf a name but Cole calling it ‘Moo’ is a bit too harsh. Cole needs to be more sincere. He should not only train his swordsmanship skills on a fictional day but also develop his memorization skills by reading books.”

Cole, who was scrambling the wolf’s fur as if he was dying of how cute it was, glanced at Axel.

“This hyena is insulting me as if  I’m not next to him right now. He’s demanding to get hit again.”

“Why is ‘reading a book’ an insult? Do you feel guilty?”

“Do you think I can’t memorize a one-syllable name? Calling him ‘Mu’ is a joke, of course. Don’t curse at me to read a book again.”

“Oh, I guess you haven’t heard any bad words yet. AHHHHHHHHHH!  The part where my brother had beaten me earlier still hurts.”

Axel patted his shoulder and made a deliberate sound of pain.

Cherryl finally realized why his voice was slightly husky.

They had trained at the arena since this morning and he implied that Cole had beaten the sh*t out of him  during the competition.

Cole raised his fist and clenched Axel’s head.

“You’re just an ignorant young man who can’t even drink and now you’re acting rude? Don’t mess with me.”

“You better prepare yourself on the day of my Coming-Of-Age ceremony. I will remember this humiliation and bestow it to Lecter from that day onwards.”

“Why? No! I’m innocent. Why are you doing this to me?”

Lecter, who was watching the commotion, became furious.

However, he quickly relaxed his countenance and stole glances at Lucy.

“Don’t get us wrong. We’re really close despite the loud arguments.”

“Oh! Yes,  I won’t. Boys tend to grumble a lot when expressing closeness rather than being nice to each other.”

“Boys?” Axel, who repeated Lucy’s words as if he was listening to the whole time, burst into laughter. “Do you think we’re freaking children?”

That woman, whom Lecter liked, kept hesitating when it came to discussing small subjects, but she suddenly spoke without hesitation from out of nowhere.

‘I’m afraid that Cherryl’s maid was too direct.’

Thinking so, Axel stared at Lucy on purpose.

When Lucy got frightened by his grim countenance, Lecter raised his fist and punished Axel.

“Oh my god!”

“Don’t be afraid, Lucy. Axel likes to play pranks but he isn’t a bad person. He’s just sarcastic trash.”

“Is it that an insult or a compliment?”

“It’s a compliment. You don’t have to be scared, Lucy. My brother is a reliable person who will protect you even if he has to sacrifice his life.”

“Well, that’s not wrong.”

Behind the grumbling Axel, the wolf was seen playing with Cole’s trousered leg.

When he shook his head like crazy as if he was playing a tug, the fabric suddenly ripped.

“No!”

Cole screamed and pulled the wolf off his trousers with a frightening force.

The wolf he had pushed looked up at him glumly and this time he came at Cherryl with a gallop.

“Oh my god!”

Lucy, who expected the wolf to act similar to what he did with Cole, bit her nails in fright.
