Chapter 28 Angelica is an angel
"The werewolf curse is most effective at night, especially on full-moon nights. Your bestiality will be infinitely magnified. As long as you give up self-control, you will become a true beast. That being said, I think you simply don't eat enough meat."
Bonn Village is a mainly agricultural village, and there are almost no families who graze on a large scale. However, werewolves are both herbivorous and carnivorous creatures, and it is safer to have a full meal every once in a while and reset to day 0; otherwise, their bestial side will expand infinitely.
"I admit that when I see the cows in the village, I always have a strong urge to tear their throats and bite their flesh. But if it were just that, I could just stay away from the livestock. Recently, I found that I also had the same bloodthirsty urge towards the people in the village. It was as if they were no longer human beings in my eyes, but edible pieces of meat... The more I suppressed this terrible urge, the stronger it became every night."
Wolfgang held his head in fear; he didn't know how long he could hold on.
"I dare not confide in anyone, and I don't want to hurt anyone in the village. They didn't drive me away because I was cursed. They were still willing to take me in after I turned into a werewolf and treated me as a member of the village. So I have to change back. Only in this way can I continue to stay in the village and live with everyone."
"I see."
Angelica suddenly realized, and just when Wolfgang was at a loss, a girl dressed as a magician, Angelica came to Bonn Village. In Wolfgang's view, she was like a savior sent by God.
"If I agree, you will definitely not be stingy with the reward, right?"
"I'm willing to lose everything!"
"But I refuse."
"W-why?"
"Because you are a kind person."
Wolfgang was puzzled. He refused because he was kind... What kind of logic was that?
Angelica sighed quietly.
"Since you live in the countryside, you must have seen ugly reptiles like centipedes living under shiny stones. But as long as you don't turn the stone over, both you and the insects under the stone can live in peace."
"Indeed, I have seen it... What does this have to do with what we are talking about?"
"Forget it, I'm going to go back and rest. I said I won't agree to you."
Wolfgang gritted his teeth. He knew very well that he couldn't coerce Angelica, so he yelled in a submissive manner.
"If you don't agree to my request...I will kneel here and never get up again...!"
"Oh."
Angelica responded expressionlessly, then ignored Wolfgang and left the barn alone.
The next day, at dawn, the roosters in Bonn village crowed loudly, reminding people to welcome a beautiful new day.
Miss Witch comes to the barn again, and the villagers notice that they haven't seen Wolfgang for a while and are looking for him.
Wolfgang remained on his knees in the barn, a humble protest in the form of self-abuse, but he had no other choice.
"Ah...you really...why do you have to do this?"
"I don't want to hurt anyone in the village."
Wolfgang had not slept all night. His voice was a little hoarse, but his will remained firm.
"If I can't turn back into a human, I will lose control of myself sooner or later. Please, I must turn back into a human."
“…I can’t do anything about you.”
"Does that mean you agree?"
"I can't guarantee success. Making potions is not something that can be done out of nothing. I need some mercury and nettles."
"Yes, yes, yes! They are all here. I'll go find them right away!"
Wolfgang was so excited that he completely ignored Angelica's unhappy smacking of lips when she heard that she was able to gather all the materials.
The werewolf acted extremely quickly and collected enough materials before lunch. After Angelica counted them, they were indeed the ingredients for refining the potion to lift the werewolf curse, and the quality was absolutely up to standard.
"Well...okay. Come see me again in the evening. Also, since I helped you, you have to give something in return."
"I'll give you whatever you want."
"We plan to stay in Bonn Village for a few more days. To be specific... seven days. I'll leave our accommodation and food to you during this time."
"Leave it to me!"
Wolfgang readily agreed to Angelica's request. Wolfgang originally thought there would be a follow-up, but the witch never made any other requests afterwards.
Could it be that she is a troublesome person, but actually a very nice person in private? She is simply an angel!
Wolfgang sighed like this. He felt that Angelica had every reason to ask for more. Even if Angelica asked for his arm, he wouldn't blink an eye.
The afternoon was particularly long for Wolfgang. He decided to treat his transformation back into a human being as a surprise and go meet his fellow villagers in human form tomorrow.
After dinner, Wolfgang couldn't wait to find the witch.
"How's it going? If there's not enough ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) material, I'll go look for more!"
Angelica shook the glass bottle in her hand, which was filled with colorful and strange liquid that Wolfgang couldn't understand. It was the result of the witch's potion-making.
"Before I give it to you, I'll ask you one last question. You need to think carefully about it."
"I've made my decision and I don't regret it."
"You said you can't find a girlfriend as a werewolf? Actually, you may not be able to find one even if you turn back into a human."
"Although it's the truth, it's too hurtful to say it out loud!"
Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, Angelica curled her lips and threw the glass bottle over like throwing away garbage. Wolfgang raised his hands and timidly caught the glass bottle in the air.
That was a close call! It almost broke!
Wolfgang was still in shock, and what made him even more depressed was that the witch had a very regretful expression, as if she wanted the potion to break into pieces. But no matter what, Wolfgang finally got the potion he had always dreamed of.
Wolfgang unscrewed the cork and drank the potion from the glass bottle. It tasted extremely bad, like a tablecloth with seasonings stir-fried, but Wolfgang felt extremely happy because he could finally return to his human identity.
Wolfgang's tall body gradually shrank from over two meters in height to about 1.8 meters. His thick hair all shrank back, and his wolf head turned into a human face. His facial features were full of righteousness, and he looked like a strong man.
"I'm back to being human! I'm back to being human!"
"I understand how you feel, but if someone comes in now, you won't be able to explain it."
Wolfgang looked down and saw that, due to his shrunken stature, his shorts were obviously several sizes too large and had fallen off his waist.
The witch lady, who was not shy at all, had a frivolous look on her delicate face, saying, "That's all." It was only then that Wolfgang finally believed that—
She is not an angel; she is definitely a devil.
