章 12: Fundamental Nature!

"Kya~!" Naina screamed when she saw the wolf was about to bite Ivan's head.

Ivan's mind blanked when the wolf pounced on him. The only thought that came to his mind when he saw the sharp fangs of the wolf up-close to his face was, 'Fuck, your breath smells horrific.'

Yes, that was what he thought at that time. He felt no fear at all because the wolf was not going to bite him.

Lick!

The wolf started licking Ivan's face with his tongue as if he was giving the highest reward to his hooman slave for the tasty food.

"Fuck, get off, don't take my first kiss, you sorry excuse of a wolf!" Ivan tried to save himself from getting violated by the wolf. He cannot lose his first kiss to anyone but to a beautiful girl.

The grey wolf showed no pride or self-respect of being an apex predator of the jungle but instead acted like a dog wagging its tail from side to side as he enjoyed licking Ivan's face.

Naina felt her head spinning upon seeing this scene.

Chime!

Ivan smiled, seeing the status screen. He didn't know there was a secret mission or something like that; he just didn't want to fight the wolf and risk his life.

Ivan sat up after pushing the wolf from above him. After cleaning his face with his sleeve, he rubbed the wolf's furry head while simultaneously looking at the status screen.

Ivan saw that the 20 Exp, Currency, and Lucky coins are added to his status screen.

'System, how do I use the lucky coins'

<< Host can use the lucky coins by focusing on the wheel symbol that is added on the right corner of the status screen, just next to the Inventory.>>

'Thank you.'

<<You're welcome Host, you learn fast.>>

Ivan rolled his eyes at the invisible System.

"Naina, come down. The wolf won't attack us anymore."

"Ho... How can you be sure?"

"Can't you see? Look, it's not biting me... Um, what should I call you? Adolph, Nah, that short guy will come to my mind every time I call you that... Um, how about... Fenrir! Yeah, that sounds good. Do you like it?"

"You won't attack her, right, Fenrir?" Ivan spoke to the wolf as he pointed to the girl sitting above the tree branch. He was happy that his Hooman slave tag had changed to a Hooman friend. Also, he had to ask the System about the loyalty part, but that has to wait for now.

The wolf barked a few times at Naina but not out of hostility, but playfully.

"...What happened? Why aren't you coming down?" Ivan asked.

"I... I can't."

"What do you mean you can't? Don't worry; the wolf won't attack. Believe me."

"No, it's not about that. I don't know how to come down." Naina's face became red due to embarrassment. Her protective father never let her do any dangerous kinds of stuff, such as climbing a tree because he feared she would accidentally fall off the tree and hurt herself.

At that moment, she hated not playing with other kids when she was small; the kids around her age were all able to climb trees like a monkey.

"Oh," Ivan didn't feel as if it was some kind of a shameful thing. Some people may not even have climbed a tree in their life in the previous world.

"Wait, I will come up and carry you down." Ivan climbed the tree dexterously now that he had regained his strength. He felt a sharp difference upon climbing the tree in this world and the previous world.

Ivan felt more agile, and it became easier to pull himself up by grabbing a branch while just using his brute strength. But of course, Ivan would not climb like that when he could make use of all his four limbs.

Ivan climbed to the branch just below Naina's, and said, "Take my hand and slowly drop down... put your right leg there, yes, now turn a little so that I can hold you properly... yes, good."

Naina's face was blushing red because she felt Ivan was treating her like a child.

"I... think I can climb down by myself. It seems easy; why was I even fear...Aaah!" Naina didn't like being treated as a kid, so she tried going down, but then her skirt tangled into something. When she lowered her leg, her dress rose to her waist, causing her to become flustered and then accidentally lose her footing.

She caught Ivan's leg to save herself, but her action caused Ivan to stumble and lose balance. He fell backward.

"You!"

Fenrir cried in shock and rushed to cushion their fall. He was Noble Grey Wolf, after all. Saving Hooman friends was his fundamental nature.

But the Hoomans did not drop on him as Fenrir had thought.

"Aouu?" Fenrir looked up.

Ivan was hanging upside down on the branch by tightly locking his knee pits on it.

Naina was swinging while tightly holding Ivan's arms as he caught her midair. She kicked her legs to the front and back like that would help her from falling or walking on air.

"Stop, Stop, moving, or I might lose my grip," Ivan shouted, but then it suddenly hit him that his hands were grabbing something soft and squashy. His arms were going under Naina's armpit and holding her bust.

*Squeezes both hands* A heavenly feeling hit Ivan's mind.

"Ahn~!" Naina froze abruptly right after she released a moan. Her face turned crimson upon feeling her bust getting squeezed.

"Release me, right now!" She screamed in horror and shame.

"Stop, Lady Naina, please stop or we will both fall down." Ivan was holding her tight because if he lost his grip on her twin peaks, he wouldn't be able to keep her from falling down.

"No! No! Release me now."

"The wolf might eat you if you fall down alone." Ivan suddenly said, causing Naina to stop again.

It seems the fear of getting eaten by the wolf is more than her getting molested by Ivan.
