"Are you kidding , female? Don't joke around, it's too dangerous," said Atlas, the White Curly-haired Beastman. His dark blue eyes flashed with displeasure.
"Do I look like I'm joking to you?" Kyra replied, her tone filled with determination. "I know how to save Lucas."
"Kyra, my dear, please don't make hasty decisions. It's too dangerous for you to go there," Gina said, walking towards her and gently holding her hands. "I understand you're worried about Lucas, but we're females. We can't even beat low-level beasts. How do you..."
"Strength can break barriers, but it's intelligence that builds bridges," Kyra interrupted, looking at everyone.
"What's on your mind?" asked Healer William. He could see the determination in her eyes, a determination that couldn't be stopped once she made up her mind.
Kyra smiled and shared her plan with everyone, even Atlas, who had been looking at her disapprovingly. Now, he looked at her with shining eyes.
'Females with brains are amazing.'

Jimmy and another snake nad Lan took Lucas to one of the guest rooms. Despite their boss telling them to eat him, they couldn't bear to harm the wolf. He even called them lovely snakes. How could their boss punish such innocent Beastn?
"Are you feeling better now?" Jimmy asked, gently laying Lucas on the bed. "Can you tell why you're not feeling well? Maybe I can help you."
Lan nodded in agreent.
Lucas tilted his head. "R-really?" he asked.
Jimmy and Lan nodded rapidly, watching as Lucas sat on the bed and looked at them intently.
"I noticed you have two... uh... peepees. Can you tell which one you use to pee and why there are two?" Lucas scratched his head. "My head was hurting because of this."
Jimmy and Lan's eyes widened. This question was way too personal.
"I... I don't know," Jimmy answered, wide-eyed.
Lucas looked at them, suddenly feeling sad. He missed Kyra.
"Don't be s-ad, Wolf. I'll tell you," Lan stuttered, his green locks falling on his smooth olive skin.
Lucas didn't respond. He shifted into a wolf, curling his body and resting his head on his paws. He missed Kyra so much that he felt like crying.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!" he cried out in his wolf voice. 'Where is my Kyra?'
"Woooo... Woooo... WOOOO..." he continued howling loudly. 'I miss my Kyra! Where are you?'
Jimmy and Lan's eyes widened. They saw the sadness reflecting in Lucas's diluted ocean blue eyes as he howled mournfully. Hearing his howling made them feel as though their ears were about to fall to the floor.
"STOP, STOP, WOLF!" Jimmy shouted, his ears feeling an imnse pressure. He had never heard such a dramatic wolf howl, like that of a husky.
"STOP, OR ELSE THE BOSS WILL EAT YOU ALIVE!"
Upon hearing this, Lucas stopped, tilting his head. His snout moved as he caught a heavenly scent—Kyra. He actually wanted to run outside, go to her, and be petted by her like the cat she was rubbing in the market. However, sleepiness overwheld him, and he fell asleep.
Seeing him asleep, Jimmy and Lan let out a sigh of relief.
