545,

Unexpectedly, Hilmirya broke through the blind spot.

Unlike everyone else who was concerned about the women, Hilmirya was more interested in the child lying down.

To Cyclone who was not yet aware of being a doctor, Hilmirya seemed more like a doctor, prioritizing the safety of each patient.

Without waiting for anyone's response, Hilmirya had already walked up to the child and gestured for the man to help her move the patient to the bed.

The man naturally obliged, and Cyclone, who was slow to react, also lent a hand.

After the child was lying on the bed, the leader spoke up.

"Since you said you wanted to save him, do you know what needs to be saved?"

Upon hearing this, Hilmirya thought it was a test from the leader and began to carefully examine the patient's injuries.

There was a large amount of bleeding from the right abdomen, which was wrapped in layers of cloth to stop the bleeding.

Hilmirya nervously glanced at Cyclone, who calmly said, "Untie it."

With newfound confidence, Hilmirya opened it up.

But upon opening it, Hilmirya was shocked.

There was no wound where the bleeding was coming from.

Hilmirya widened her eyes and felt the skin on the right abdomen with her hand.

Nothing... why...

No matter how she looked or touched, Hilmirya could not find a wound.

It was then that Hilmirya realized the reason behind Cyclone's calm demeanor.

In reality, Cyclone just wasn't aware of the need to save lives, as his mind was preoccupied with Elyse's matters.

The lives and deaths of others were of little concern to Cyclone.

"Is it healed?"

Listening to the leader's words and observing the child's painful expression, Hilmirya was completely perplexed.

She then looked at Cyclone.

"..."

"..."

"Oh? Didn't you just say it? He's a werewolf~"

After a moment of eye contact, Cyclone finally understood how to respond.

"A cursed body is no joke; as werewolves, they have a strong healing ability."

"Healing, healing?!"

Cyclone continued, "That's right~ werewolves~ Their healing speed is incredibly fast, they hardly ever need surgery."

Cyclone looked at Hilmirya, then back at the child.

"Except for the heart."

"The heart?"

"Yes, this child doesn't have external injuries, it's curse-related."

Hilmirya paused, trying to piece together Cyclone's words.

As she contemplated, Cyclone himself remembered something.

The moonlight he saw last night with Cabellus seemed to signal the werewolves' special day.

"Right~ It seems tonight is the night of the full moon."

Meanwhile, Hilmirya was racking her brain, recalling tales she had heard at the Church of Water.

Werewolves were extremely vicious creatures who restored themselves by consuming life. And...

"After becoming a werewolf, the body undergoes changes, like the stomach enlarging. Because the stomach suddenly grows, even if they were full, they would feel hungry again due to the stomach's enlargement. This is a common issue among werewolves."

As if reading Hilmirya's thoughts, Cyclone continued with his analysis.

"Judging from the woman's injuries and the child's healing, the mother most likely let her son bite her to prioritize healing the child's injuries."

Cyclone glanced at the woman and then at the man.

"So... during the healing process, did something enter the heart?"

In tandem with Cyclone's explanation, Hilmirya too recalled.

Werewolves themselves were a curse that enhanced vitality, not exactly a curse.

The truly pitiful aspect of werewolves was their life-long loneliness and the terrible hunger.

Once they slightly understood the situation, the man also nodded.

"Uh, my toothpick... accidentally fell into the child's chest!!"

Just as Cyclone had surmised.

The accident this time was caused by the unnamed man.

"The heart surgery, you only have one experience, and it was mainly overseen by your master. Let an external doctor handle this surgery; I don't want to gamble with any lives," the leader finally, the one who considered everything.

However, the man waved his hand and stepped forward angrily.

"All of you!!! Are you deaf?!!!"

Pointing at Cyclone.

"He just said it, didn't he? He's a werewolf!! And tonight is the night of the full moon!!"

"Well, hold on... Wait a minute?!"

Different from the leader, Alexander standing on the side spoke up.

"It's currently nine in the morning, can you do it?"
