“Why is Razor with Honorary Knight Uncle… I mean, Big Brother?” Klee asked curiously as she perched on Jia Changjiang’s shoulders. “Are you two friends too?”
“I only met Razor today,” Jia Changjiang replied while carrying Klee and following behind Razor. “But I’m planning to give him a new weapon. Klee, what kind of weapon do you think suits Razor?”
“A bomb!” Klee exclaimed from atop Jia Changjiang’s head. “One big BOOM and all the enemies are gone!”
“…No,” Razor shook his head firmly, looking like a wobbling rattle drum. “Explosions scare prey. No food.”
“If it scares the prey away, then the wolf pack would also lose their food,” Jia Changjiang nodded thoughtfully. “Looks like bombs are out. We’ll need to find better materials…”
At that moment, the sound of wolf howls echoed in the distance.
“Someone… has entered Wolvendom,” Razor said, frowning as he listened intently to the howls. “I need to separate Lupical.”
Razor was about to leave when Jia Changjiang grabbed his shoulder.
“?” Razor turned to him, puzzled.
“Razor,” Jia Changjiang said firmly, gripping Razor’s shoulder. “Keep the wolf pack away. Don’t let them get close to those people. Those are hunters—they’re probably here because of the wolves that attacked the village.”
“Lupical never attacked humans…” Razor began to protest, but Jia Changjiang interrupted him. “Razor, you’ve only ever met good people—Lisa, Klee, and the one who taught you swordsmanship. But not everyone is like that.”
“They won’t stop to figure out whether they’ve run into good wolves or bad wolves.”
“I… understand,” Razor nodded, then turned toward the wolf pack deeper in Wolvendom.
Before he left, he glanced back at Jia Changjiang and said, “Thank you. And… please protect friends.”
“Mm,” Jia Changjiang nodded confidently. “Go ahead. Klee will be fine.”
As Razor disappeared into the woods, Klee looked up at Jia Changjiang with concern. “Big Brother, do you think Razor and the fluffy ones will be in danger?”
Jia Changjiang shook his head. “No, they’ll be fine. This is Wolvendom, after all.”
He grinned at Klee. “Klee… do you want to pet a really big fluffy wolf?”
Hearing this, Klee’s eyes sparkled. “I do!”
“Not loud enough! Do you want to or not?”
“I dooooooo!!!”
“Good! That’s the spirit.” Jia Changjiang adjusted his grip on his battle axe and smiled slyly.
“Alright then! First, we’ll protect the little fluffies. Then…”
He chuckled mischievously. “We’ll get to pet the biggest fluffy of them all…”
“I even came up with a great name for this mission: Mondstadt Rua Wolf Brigade!”
Jia Changjiang puffed out his chest confidently. “And now, our duo’s name shall be… Jungle Duo Action!”
Pointing dramatically ahead, he shouted, “Let’s go!”
Klee, though not fully understanding what he meant, cheered enthusiastically. “Yay! Let’s go!”

Meanwhile, Amber, Lumine, and Paimon had hurried to Wolvendom. As soon as they entered, they were met with the sound of howling wolves echoing through the woods.
“Uh-oh. Has that merchant already made a move?” Amber asked worriedly.
“Let’s find Razor!” Lumine suggested. “He’s familiar with the wolves here—he might have a solution.”
“The wolf boy you mentioned earlier? Hmm…” Amber thought for a moment. “There’s no better plan right now.”
“Lumine, look!” Paimon tugged at Lumine’s sleeve, pointing ahead.
Lumine followed Paimon’s gaze and saw a small gray wolf darting through the underbrush. She immediately recognized it as one of the wolves they had encountered earlier that day.
“If we follow it, we might find Razor!” Lumine grabbed Amber’s hand and ran after the wolf. But the wolf was incredibly fast, and it didn’t take long for them to lose sight of it in the dense forest.
However, Amber noticed something on the ground.
“Wait… what’s this?” Amber crouched to inspect a bloodstain on the ground. “This looks fresh. Could it be from that wolf?”
“Rustle…”
The sound of leaves being disturbed drew their attention. Both Amber and Lumine tensed, turning toward the noise. From the shadows, Razor emerged, carrying a large sword.
Lumine relaxed slightly. “Razor?”
“You?” Razor recognized her. “Have you seen… an injured wolf?”
“Razor?” Amber asked, glancing between him and Lumine. “Is this the wolf boy you were talking about?”
“Yep!” Lumine nodded. “We saw a wolf running in that direction earlier.”
Razor followed her finger, visibly relieved. “If it went deeper into the forest, it’s safe there.”
“Razor, hunters are here to retaliate against the wolves,” Lumine explained. “We’re investigating the attacks on Springvale.”
“I’m Amber, a scout knight from the Knights of Favonius,” Amber introduced herself. “I’m here to look into the wolf-related incidents. Lumine said you’re close to the wolves. Do you know anything about the wolves that attacked the village?”
“That wasn’t us!” Razor shook his head vehemently. “It was the black wolves! They broke the rules set by the Lord.”
“The Lord? Who’s that?” Lumine asked curiously.
“…”
After a moment of hesitation, Razor said, “I need to protect Lupical.”
“You and your friends are knights. I trust you,” Razor added. “Come with me. The Lord may reveal itself to answer your questions.”

While Razor led Lumine and the others, Jia Changjiang and Klee followed the wolf pack deeper into Wolvendom. Eventually, they arrived at an ancient, coliseum-like ruin where many wolves had gathered.
“This is it…” Jia Changjiang murmured, gazing at the ruin. Suddenly, he felt a strange presence watching him.
“Klee, look! So many fluffies!” he said with forced cheer, trying to stay calm. “Let’s help Razor protect his Lupical, okay?”
“Okay~~!” Klee chirped happily.
“Alright then… time to put on the masks…”
