Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yarin’s POV:

The weather was a little cold, and the fire was about to go out. I tried to save the dying fireball, but it was useless.

If I had known that I would sleep on the streets, I would have brought more clothes.

This was a street where the homeless lived, or rather, a rotten alley. All I could see were men and women in dirty sweaters and hoods covering themselves tightly. Most of them had mild mental problems. Lily said it was because of a banned substance circulating in human society.

She refused to tell me what it was. She even told me that if I dared to try it, she would take Heller and me back home at once. Additionally, she told my parents about me so that I could never escape from there again.

I didn’t like what she said. It made me nervous. But I must listen to her because I couldn’t beat her yet.

The sky soon turned dark. I saw Lily and Heller at the intersection. Their clothes were bulging, and I guessed they were probably filled with hot cheeseburgers and fries. They knew that I loved those ‘junk food’.

The vagrants gave them cryptic looks that made my hair stand on end. Some showed obvious signs of wanting to snatch it, mixed with a mud-like dirty and sticky feeling I didn’t understand.

I hated that man looking at Lily and Heller like that. Therefore, I ran over there at once. Before he responded, I strangled him and threw him backward forcefully.

The man immediately let out a pig-like howl. He grabbed my arm tightly, hoping to free his neck, and twisted at a strange angle from my arm. However, I didn’t let go of him. I had to teach this man a lesson because it was not the first time he stared at Lily and Heller with malice.

The commotion here attracted the attention of the alley, and the tramps immediately dispersed, afraid that they would be involved in something bad. Lily and Heller ran over quickly, dropping the hot paper bags on the ground. “Let him go, Yarin. Let him go!”

Lily moved my hand away. Heller freed the man whose face was purple. I saw him secretly kicking his stomach a few times, which made me a bit reassured.

“Get lost, you stupid pig!” I used the words I had just learned from the homeless to drive the man away. “Get out of my sight and never come back!”

The man held his stomach and staggered to his feet. He glared at me fiercely and ran away.

This desolate street quickly became empty again. No one else was besides us, but I knew the homeless people were hiding in the corners and secretly observing. Their gazes were not hidden at all.

Lily picked up the fast food on the ground and brought us back to the small shed where we were temporarily staying. Looking at the extinguished fire, she sighed helplessly and said, “I’ve already taught you five times. What’s so difficult about starting a fire with a lighter?”

I didn’t answer her. I couldn’t wait to open the paper bag, take out the fragrant cheeseburger, and take a big bite. It was delicious!

It wasn’t that the royal chef’s cooking was difficult to swallow. The roasted lamb chops with herbs were also delicious, but the fried food and cheese sauce made me dream of it. Mom and Dad never allowed me to eat fast food. They said it was unhealthy.

However, these cunning adults couldn’t fool me. I knew that my mother was also a loyal fan of fast food when she was young. Aunt Dorothy said they had lunch in a burger shop for half a month!

After dinner, I realized that Lily hadn’t started the fire again. It was winter now. Even if we were werewolves, we’d catch a cold after sleeping in the cold for a night.

But Lily ignored me. She said, “We can’t stay here anymore. We’ll leave tonight.”

“Leave? Where are you going?” Heller asked with a confused look, “We can’t enter the city without ID certificates.”

“We’re not going into the city. I’m starting to think that coming to the human territory’s a bad idea. If I had known I would have to bring the two of you along when I ran away from home, I would have rather attended those boring banquets.”

Heller always looked silly, but he understood Lily’s disdain. He mumbled discontentedly, “We didn’t run away from home. Yarin and I just wanted to go out and take a look. We’ve already asked Mom and Dad.”

“Oh really?” Lily smiled sarcastically. “If leaving a note in the middle of the night is considered asking for the permission of His Majesty and the Prince.” Heller and I became speechless.

Lily quickly packed her bulging backpack and motioned for us to follow her.

“This is not the werewolf pack. If the princes get lost, there won’t be any anxious police to send you back to the palace.” Her words always sounded like they were filled with thorns. “Follow closely, boys. For the goddess’ sake, pray that we can return to the werewolf pack smoothly.”

Heller and I reluctantly carried our backpacks and followed Lily to the dark and quiet street..
