Dark Fantasy Normalized – Chapter 47

**Title: No, What The Heck, These Little Shits, LOL**

Content: So they say if you hit ‘very friendly’ with the End of Days Wolf Perrin, you can save him, right? LOL

So I gave him a legendary affection item, and then what the hell, his affection maxed out to ‘hostile’? What is this? LOL

– : If we can overcome the system’s limits and hit very friendly, I guess we can do anything, huh?

– : But hey, now he doesn’t hate you extremely, just moderately, right? Let’s have a drink!

– : Legendary item leading to ‘hostile’ is a legend itself, LOL

– : Even giving a gift doesn’t unlock higher than ‘hostile’ affection, I guess that’s realistic in a way.

– [Author]: No way, seriously?

– [Author]: So does that mean he can’t do anything?

– [Author]: Is he just gonna sit back and watch while they let black mages experiment on him?

—

– : What day are we on now?

– [Author]: Day 11

– : Ah, that’s tough, huh?

– : For real, I thought adding customized prosthetic limbs on various body parts was it, but

– : That left eye, though, is really something, LOL

– : Ah, damn, how did I forget that?

– [Author]: No, but what’s up with that left eye?

– [Author]: I’ve got reptilian skin glued to my left face, is it worse than that?

– : Never search for the End of Days Wolf Perrin online.

– [Author]: Ah, damn.

– [Author]: I’m not kidding, I nearly threw up.

**Title: No Way, Perrin! What The Heck, How Is This The End of Days Wolf? LOL**

Content: [Photo]

Um, but there aren’t any wolf parts left on the body? LOL

– : So that’s why it’s called the End of Days Wolf, right?

– : The wolf has come to an end indeed…

– : Wow, each time I see his visual, it’s not easy.

– : He was super pretty in human form, those devs are insane.

– : Killing him just to turn him back into human form is seriously not easy.

—

– [Author]: So what the heck is wrong with him?

– [Author]: Why’s he asking the black mages to mess him up?

– [Author]: Is this some kind of trend now, ‘menhera’ or something?

– : It might be revenge for being born, LOL.

– [Author]: Ah, for real, he’s got menhera vibes, damn.

– : He wasn’t a naturally born spirit.

Unlike other spirits, he has a physical form, so you can tell, right?

– [Author]: Wait, he was a spirit?

– : Yeah, should we say half-wolf, half-spirit?

– [Author]: What’s that, some name for a Chinese restaurant?

– : Half wolf, half spirit.

– [Author]: So that kind of breeding can happen?

– : Can it?

– : He was accidentally created during experiments at the Green Mage Tower in the Great Forest.

– [Author]: Unwanted child < menhera elite route, huh?



- : That’s one way to look at it.



- : But he’s half wolf, half spirit, right?



- : So how are wolves and spirits gonna react to that?



- [Author]: Oh, two flavors!



- : This guy’s just a PC.



- : You should head to the US, LOL.



- : Sadly, since the Great Forest is in the south, both wolves and spirits totally shunned Perrin.



- : The wolf side, being the mom, and the spirit side, being the dad, both treat him like an awful monster, and



- : When he accidentally discovered his birth secret from researchers, he just ran off.



- : Then the black mages figured out that ‘S-rank spirit was left unattended!’



And they tried to dominate him with black magic,



- : They liked the unique energy he generates from his body, you know?



- : So he’s totally exposing his body to take revenge on those who created him.



- [Author]: Okay, I get why he hates elves,



But why does he hate humans too?



- : Because they’re pure entities compared to him.



- : That’s why he likes artificial life forms (golems, magic books).



- [Author]: I wonder what he thinks about humans made from IVF.



- : Are you insane or what?



- : That’s genuinely an interesting topic!

**Title: Hey, But I’m Curious About Perrin**



Content: If he hates elves and humans for being pure,



Does he like impure beings?



Like vampires or demons?



- : That’s something I'm kinda curious about.



- : I wonder how those spirit beings feel if half-demons are preferred over them, for real.



- : Taking spirits from lowly creatures they used to ignore…



---



- So, where can I meet this Ricir guy?



- Master Didoa knows. That's why she’s assigned to help you. Plus, Master Didoa will talk to the troublesome humans for you, for free! Is there any other kind guide like this? Now, say thank you.



- Thanks. This will help me connect with Ricir.



- You’re talking about Master Didoa, not Gadena.



- ...



---



Gadena was suddenly assigned to Didoa by Meltas.



He was waiting for Didoa at the main entrance of the Mage Tower because she had to rush off for something important.



A little while later.



"What is all that?"



Gadena looked surprised at Didoa, who came out holding a bundle of belongings.



Is she planning to set up an experimental lab at his place?



"It's a gift."



Didoa responded with her characteristic blank expression.



"A gift?"



"If I go empty-handed, Ricir might get upset."



"…"



Gadena decided not to show any unnecessary interest in this half-demon obsessed with Ricir.



He didn’t wait for Didoa, who was struggling with the bundle, and moved ahead.



"I have a place to stop by before heading to his place."



"A place to stop?"



"I’ll be joining my companions there. Just letting you know, he’s a high-ranking individual, so don’t act recklessly in front of him."



"Wouldn’t he be unpleasant with a half-demon like me?"



"He’s a generous person. As long as you don’t commit any faux pas, there’s nothing to worry about."



That’s all the necessary conversation.



Gadena closed his mouth, quickened his pace, and moved away from Didoa.



Being an elf, he instinctively felt discomfort from the murky energy of half-demons.



"Gadena."



But suddenly, Didoa quickened her pace and called out to him.



"Master Didoa, let me tell you this. Your aura as a half-demon brings discomfort to me. I can’t treat you normally, so I’d advise keeping a distance for your sake."



"Oh, I’m fine. I’m used to people disliking me."



Whether she wasn’t joking or not, Didoa continued regardless of whether Gadena ignored her.



"By the way, Gadena, are you accustomed to visiting a friend's house?"



"I don’t really get the intention behind your question."



"I’m new to this. Visiting Ricir's home is my first time visiting a friend’s house in my life. So, I was wondering if you have any advice? I want to make a good impression on Ricir."



"…"



It seemed Didoa was incredibly excited about visiting a friend’s house for the first time, and she kept chatting away.



Ricir this, Ricir that—



Just as Gadena decided to magically block either her ears or Didoa’s mouth, they reached Gadena’s laboratory.



"Master Didoa. You might contaminate the lab with your energy, so please wait outside."



"Okay."



Didoa accepted Gadena's dismissal without any questions or complaints.



It was just something she was very accustomed to.



A little later.



Gadena entered the lab and came out with his companions.



The elegantly dressed black-robed princess Rapita Ye Royeh from the Great Forest.



Her escort, the massive knight Gondola.



And Master Adventurer Draphon, bearing a giant scar across his face.



Among them, Gondola furrowed his brow at Didoa, who stood at the door.



"Why is a half-demon here?"



"She’s Master Didoa, the master of the Gray Mage Tower. She agreed to mediate as a friend of Ricir."



"If Ricir is that human you talked about—hanging out with a half-demon? Are you sure that's okay, Gadena?"



"…"



Gondola explicitly showed his aversion.



Gadena was reluctant to respond.



He typically displayed overt discrimination and contempt toward humans, but he was actually rather progressive among elves.



Living in a human city and interacting with humans, even if only minimally, showed that aspect.



Gondola, on the other hand, was different.



As a high-ranking individual in the elves’ sanctuary within the Great Forest, he had a conservative mindset to match.



He valued his identity as an elf far too highly.



Though Gadena discriminated against humans and held contempt for them, he viewed them as equals.



In contrast, Gondola considered other races as inferior to elves.



Especially the half-demons with their murky energy were especially looked down upon.



Gondola had held back as much as he could and finally vented his dissatisfaction.



"To be honest, I'm still skeptical. Having to rely on humans? Is this really the best we can do?"



"Gondola."



It was Rapita's voice that calmed Gondola.



"What kind of disrespect is this with allies before us?"



"…I’m sorry."



Rapita politely bowed toward Didoa.



"Master Didoa, is it? Sorry about this. Our Gondola can be a bit emotional at times."



"It’s okay. I’m used to this kind of situation."



Rapita nodded in satisfaction and looked over the group.



"It seems everyone’s here, shall we move? Oh, Draphon?"



"Speak away."



Rapita asked Draphon to capture a spirit and lent him the artifact 'Blue Veil.'



The reason for lending a human an elf's treasure that purifies the energy of the wearer was simply that she was worried the filthy human's energy might affect ‘that child.’



"Let me say it again, that cloak is our elf treasure. It’s imbued with the sacred energy of the World Tree. So, I sincerely ask you to be cautious while using it."



"…"



Draphon immediately grasped the reason behind Rapita's remarks.



He took off the 'Blue Veil,' which he had been wearing since just before, and stored it in the container Rapita had handed him.



Just as the elf princess wished, to ensure the filthy human’s energy wouldn’t taint the elf’s treasure.



"Thank you."



Rapita gracefully expressed her appreciation to the human who completely understood her intentions.



"Now, let’s move."



Rapita maintained a significant distance from the half-demon and human throughout the journey.



---



Rapita Ye Royeh thoroughly lamented her situation.



‘From lending the Blue Veil to now being forced to accompany a half-demon.’



Her life forced into living in the filthy human city.



Having to cater to the whims of the inferior beings.



At first, she felt self-loathing every minute, but now she simply wished that this terrible situation would end quickly.



If she could just take ‘that child’ out of this wretched place and back to the Great Forest, Rapita was ready to do anything.



To soothe and calm herself, she recalled ‘that child.’



A blessed being who inherited only the excellence of the great wolf king and the noble wind spirit.



The half-spirit Perrin.



That child didn’t belong in this filthy place.



The deepest part of the Great Forest. The most sacred place in the world.



A being worthy of basking in the sacred spirit of the World Tree.



‘Even now, Perrin must be tainted by the energy of this dirty city…’



Filled with impatience, Rapita urged Draphon.



Of course, she maintained the dignity of a noble elf on the surface.



"First, we’ll enlist the candidates at the guild who are currently on standby, meet that Ricir guy, hand over the magic stone, and immediately start the pursuit."



"…"



Ricir.



Upon hearing the name of the human recommended by Gadena, Rapita sighed inwardly.



Could this really be right?



Using human energy to lure that child?



Gadena was a brilliant expert, but he showed a notably soft side when it came to matters related to humans.



---



As she continued her worries, before she knew it, Rapita had already entered the guild building, following Draphon.



Draphon guided her to the office of the guild’s representative, Deput.



The moment they entered the office, Rapita couldn’t believe her eyes.



"Perrin!"



The filthy human structure out of her mind.



The filthy humans themselves.



Nothing mattered now.



Only that adorable wolf filled her vision.



Rapita rushed toward Perrin.



The wolf was cradled in the arms of a human.



‘How is that human interacting with Perrin?’



At first, Rapita felt a moment of unease, but she didn’t care too much.



Right now, she wanted to savor this joyous reunion.



"Come here!"



Just as Rapita was about to snatch Perrin from the human’s embrace,



-...!



The belly-up Perrin that had been happily making noises bit Rapita’s hand in fury.



"Hey, I'm not eating you!"



The man who had been holding Perrin, Ricir, looked startled and immediately pulled Perrin away from Rapita.



-...



And then, as if he hadn’t been furious at all, Perrin settled back comfortably in the man’s arms.



"…"



Rapita couldn’t process the situation and was left speechless.
