Abduction 30. Beasts (2)
#A30
Secret, a professor of low science.
He is the undisputed leader in cursing, and is a skilled person with experience in even removing the alien curse that bound Ronan’s body.
He was a different person among the faculty at Phileon Academy, which was full of eccentrics.
“Are you sure you weren’t human until you lectured at Phileon a few months ago?”
Even Varen, who I didn’t know much about, was now feeling it.
While basking in the campfire, he asked a question carefully.
A small den we came into to escape the cold. Secret was sitting across from us, cleaning up his dirty tail by licking it.
“I guess so. “Some of the students are allergic to hair.”
“Then what it looks like…”
Varen frowned.
Now, Secret’s appearance was like a perfect Wearfox itself.
Looking at the fluffy fur and prickly ears growing all over its body, it was hard to believe that it was originally a human.
“Because it’s really cold in the North. Rather than wearing cumbersome clothes, it was better to just change my skin. “At times like this, I really envy the beast people.”
Secret’s hobby was traveling around the world collecting curses and putting them on his body.
Unless it was something unusual like Ronan or Iril, he would have died or gone crazy, but he had done so many times that he could easily accept about five or six curses.
“Well… I see. “You are truly amazing in many ways.”
“What’s so amazing? Anyway, thank you. If it weren’t for you, she would have freaked out. “Because the shape of the mouth is different, it is not difficult to chant the spell accurately.”
“aha. so.”
Secret opened and closed his mouth as if he felt unfair.
Only then did Varen understand why he, an excellent wizard, was being chased by woolly wolves and the like.
Unlike humans, the pronunciation was likely to leak due to the protruding snout.
“Professor, why did you come to Heiran?”
“Ah, it’s to get the ingredients needed for curses and healing. There are many medicinal herbs that can only be found here in the north. “Something like an eternal tale.”
Secret was visiting the north regularly.
It wasn’t just about the supply of materials.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the North was a second home for Secrit, who had lived here for two years to prevent Barka’s plot.
“But it’s better than being chased by wild animals. “If you get caught by a group of thieves, it will be very annoying.”
“Are there still any bandits left?”
“It has disappeared from the city, but it often appears in remote places. Although the Sword Saint is working hard to clear the area, security in the border area is still unstable. Even if the fundamental cause disappears, it will take time to be completely cured.”
Secret’s mouth twitched.
The North, which had suffered from turmoil for a long time, including imperial oppression and Barka’s curse, was still unable to regain complete peace.
Although the previous sword saint, Jaipa, was leading the wandering beastmen and restoring order, the northern land was too large.
This is probably a problem that will be resolved with time.
Secret continued.
“Then what brought you to Heiran? “It doesn’t look like the attire of someone who came for travel or research.”
“Hmm. So, that is. “I don’t know how to explain this.”
“It’s okay, so tell me. Could it be that he was kicked out by his wife? Haha, of course I’m joking. “There’s no way something like that could happen to a good couple like you.”
“Huh!”
Varen took a deep breath.
I never imagined it would be discovered so quickly.
Secret frowned upon seeing his reaction.
“Oh my god, really?”
“Kuhung… It’s a shame, but that’s true. “I don’t think I can go in until I lose weight.”
Varen held his mane and told his sad story.
From his wife’s abuse and the appearance of Principal Kratir, to being dropped into Heiran.
Secret, who was looking Varen up and down, nodded.
“hmm. From what I heard, I’ve definitely gained weight. “My body, which was already round, has become fuller.”
“Ugh. “I never thought even the professor would say that…”
“Unless you’re blind, you can probably tell. Anyway, this is serious. “If you’ve gotten to this point, you probably won’t be able to lose weight.”
“yes?”
It was a sudden remark.
Secret’s expression, which had lost all smiles, was as serious as looking at a person with cancer.
Varen’s eyes widened.
“Uh, why?”
“Because you are a Were Lion. “I’ve seen so many beastmen traveling up and down the north, but this is the first time I’ve seen an obese werelion.”
Secret sighed.
As someone who had spent quite a long time in the body of a prisoner, he could not possibly understand.
It may be a werebear or a werecow, but a pure carnivore-based animal does not gain weight easily.
“The Were Lions I know are definitely the strongest race along with the Were Tigers. “Even if they eat a cow a day, they gain muscle instead of fat. What kind of life have they been living?”
“Ugh. that···.”
Varen, who was muttering, lowered his head.
There were too many suspects.
His hobby was baking, and he would eat enough bread or cookies to feed 50 people in one day.
The complete absence of stress also played a role.
Ever since he left as an advisor to Ronan’s special adventure club, his weight has been steadily trending upward.
Secret said, poking Varen’s stomach.

“Huh, I could do business with a unique soft bed concept. It must be a mass of flesh that has been steadily accumulating like strata. “The physique itself is similar to that of Jaifa, but I never thought it would break down like this… It’s a shame, it’s a shame.”
“Well, I was wrong, so please stop now. “Isn’t there some way?”
“It’s not impossible if you put in the hard work. If you eat only meat and vegetables for a month, your balloon-like stomach will shrink a little. However, it would be an absurdly short amount of time to achieve the results you want. “It will probably be around this time next year before I can get back to my old self.”
“that···!”
Varen’s face was twisted in despair.
Although we had only had a few conversations, Secret was a person who had little to do with lying.
Moreover, since he had lived in the body of a prisoner, the accuracy of his words would have been very high.
“iced coffee···.”
Neither of them spoke, so the sound of a blizzard was loud.
The firewood for the bonfire was almost completely burnt out.
Secret, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“…It’s not like there is no solution at all. Only one. “There is a way for you to return to your youthful cool self during your vacation.”
“yes? Is that really true?!”
“okay. But it might be hard to accept. “Look Varen, do you really want to lose weight?”
“of course! “I will do anything to lose this devilish lump of fat!”
Varen clenched his fists.
To be honest, I didn’t mind losing my appearance, but I didn’t want to worry my wife and children.
I was at an age where I needed to take care of my health.
Seeing the determined eyes, Secret took out something from his backpack.
“good. If you have that kind of will, it will be fine. “Please come here.”
“hmm? what is that?”
Varen frowned.
In Secret’s furry hands, he was holding a spice container containing white chalk, unknown herbs, and colorful powders.
Instead of answering, Secret moved the chalk.
In an instant, a magic circle, a geometric battle, was drawn with Baren at the center.
When the herb was placed in a certain area, a bluish light appeared through the magic circle.
Secret saw that and smiled with satisfaction.
“good. From now on, I will curse you to turn into a human. “It’s a pretty powerful curse, so don’t move from your spot.”
“······yes?”
“That’s literally it. Humans are a species that has a much easier time gaining or losing weight than Were Lions. “I bet you’ll regain your normal weight even after she’s out in this cold.”
“Now, wait a minute, Professor. Are you a human? What do you mean by that?!”
Varen was embarrassed.
I said I would do anything, but this was beyond what I expected.
Secret was chanting a spell, ignoring his confusion.
My body didn’t move because it was already in progress.
“I’m glad I was able to pay off my debt so quickly. It just so happened that the herbs I got were used here. “Then let’s get started.”
“No, Professor, listen to me! “What on earth is this…!”
Varen was about to say something.
After finishing the spell on his own, Secret sprinkled the powder from the seasoning jar on Varen.
The light flowing from the magic circle became even stronger and enveloped Varen’s body.
“This can’t be happening! “Kaaaaaa-!!!”
A loud scream shook the cave.
The evil light was twisting and remodeling Varen’s bones and flesh.
Eventually, silence fell where the light faded.
In the distance, the mournful howl of a woolly wolf that had lost its comrade was echoing.

The next morning.
“stop. “I can’t go in anymore… Ah, Secret.”
“Loyalty. long time no see.”
“okay. “Are you guys doing well too?”
The sky was clear.
Secret smiled after being greeted by the werewolf soldiers.
It’s already been over 10 years since I found out.
Heavily armed prisoners were guarding the entrance to Alcalto Valley again today.
“You seem to be in a good mood. “Is your business today also about supplying materials?”
“That’s right. “Although it is dangerous, what is grown here is of the highest quality.”
“Always be careful. Even if something happens inside, it’s hard to go to the rescue.”
The soldier spoke in a serious tone.
Alcalto Valley was a place where Secret often stopped by.
Although it was dangerous because of the sharp ice valleys and forgettable monsters that appeared, it was a place I had no choice but to visit because it had irreplaceable material.
“Don’t worry. “I have the power to protect myself.”
“Well, you’re a wizard… Now, what about the human next to you?”
“Oh, this is my friend who came to help me with my work. “Let’s say hello.”
Secret tapped the side of the man standing next to him.
The soldiers’ eyes narrowed at the truly unusual appearance.
The first thing I saw was a beautiful face.
The clear facial features and dark brown beard that covered the lower part of the body were quite striking, even from a prisoner’s perspective.
The abundant hair flowing down to the nape of the neck was reminiscent of a lion’s mane.
Up to this point, it would be fair to call him a handsome man, but unfortunately, he had a fatal flaw.
“You have a really nice face. however···.”
“Hmm, maybe they just changed their hair? “What is your name?”
The soldiers squinted.
The proportions of the face and body were not right.
Should I say that it looks like a cherry tomato stuck on top of a watermelon?
Looking at its sturdy and massive body, it was difficult to tell whether it was a beast or a human.
The soldiers were seriously concerned about the man’s health, and every time they did, the man had to hold back tears of sadness.
The man answered with gritted teeth.
“······My name is Varen.”
“It’s an extraordinary name. I think the name of the Duke of Bryn Hills in the distance was Varen. Was it Varen Hanasir?”
It is Panasir, not Hanasir.
Varen swallowed the words that rose up in his throat.
Because now he is not a wealthy wear lion, but just a fat human being.
After confirming their identities, the soldiers let the two people in.
Secret, who was walking between the steep cliffs, chuckled.
“Don’t worry, Varen. Because the effect will be certain. Until then, your flesh will melt like frost on a spring day.”
“…I hope so.”
“Just follow me carefully. “What is the human body like?”
“It’s the worst. “It’s cold… visibility is low… and there’s nothing better except for my hands.”
Varen sighed.
He was realizing once again how superior the Were Lions were.
Although my physical strength was weakened, the pain of obesity remained the same.
The aurors that had made him a superhuman for a short period of time also had difficulty manifesting, perhaps because his body had changed.
The most serious problem was the cold caused by the absence of fur.
Varen, wearing three layers of thick coat, looked like a snowman dressed in leather walking around.
Secret laughed.
“Kkeke, you’ll get used to it soon. “Anyway, I think I need to pray to God for this journey.”
“What do you mean?”
“We are very weak now. “My tongue gets twisted when I memorize a spell, and you can’t even use an Auror, so if you get attacked by a monster, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“Wow, that’s definitely true… I think it would be a good idea to move carefully.”
Varen trembled. The entire Alkalto Valley was a lawless area except for the entrance. I didn’t even want to imagine encountering the enemy in this state.
He might get used to it a bit, but right now he wasn’t confident that he could win a fight with a wild boar, let alone a wolf.
I also need to be careful about my breathing.
Varen, who had gathered his composure, was just about to take a step.
“Hahaha! Just stop right there! “You lovely purses!”
“ah.”
