Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

"Not bad, Lake! The way you stitched this wound... I think it should heal quickly and be unnoticeable!"

Poro flipped over the fur on his belly, where the skin had been stitched with special sutures.

Aside from a slight pain, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"It's not just me; it's also the effect of that... Spiral Beacon you gave me."

Lake smiled, opened her fair palm, and a page appeared, which she returned to Poro.

"Plus, I used up all the medicinal treatments Bishop left behind on you."

"So potent?"

Poro thought for a moment, then pinched the [Spiral Beacon: Hunter] with his paw, and with a slight mental command, activated the corresponding fairytale authority.

Instantly, he felt a lot more knowledge in his mind!

The shooting methods of a hunter's rifle, trap placements, combat and fighting skills, how to find prey in the forest, how to hide tracks...

...and a special method of wound stitching.

Of course, the fairytale authority description indicated that he only obtained "part of the experience" of the hunter's hunting methods.

So, Poro understood that with just this portion, it was far from the true strength of the hunter that he and Lake had fortunately killed!

But even so, this experience was powerful enough!

Even stronger than most "ordinary hunters" who made a living by hunting wild beasts!

Great!

With this 'Spiral Beacon,' it's like making up for our shortcomings—having more direct self-preservation!

"Good stuff, but other people's experiences still need to be used more to become your own."

As Poro spoke, he re-materialized the [Spiral Beacon: Hunter] page and tucked it back into Lake's arms.

"Poro, aren't you going to use it?"

"I'm a wolf; this ability doesn't quite match my nature, and whether you use it or I use it—isn't it all the same?"

Poro shook his head.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the hunter's abilities, but unfortunately, the swordsmanship, rifle aiming, and even some of the fighting techniques and trap-setting methods were all adapted to the human body.

And Poro was now a wolf.

[Little Red Riding Hood·Wolf's Disguise] could make Poro look like a human, but that was ultimately just a "disguise." Poro couldn't use a human body to perform more complex actions.

Even walking and gripping normally would make Poro feel uncomfortable.

"Then... I'll really use it?"

Lake blinked and waved the page in her hand.

"Use it!"

Poro waved his paw casually.

"Thank you, Poro!"

Lake put away the page, happily pounced over, hugged Poro's neck, and rubbed against his wolf fur.

"Grandma told me that there are legends of kind fairies who grant magical abilities to obedient children—Poro, could you be a... wolf-like fairy?"

"Uh, if that were the case, you'd be pressing on a fairy's wound right now."

"Ah, sorry Poro, I didn't mean to!"

The girl quickly let go and straightened up, her face flushed.

"Hmm... What kind of things did the witch hunter have with him? Have they been sorted out?"

Poro turned his gaze to the other side.

The witch hunter's baggage had been opened, and the items inside had been scattered on the ground by Lake.

"Well, unlike the Bishop, this witch hunter had fewer things on him, and there wasn't much in his room either."

Lake thought for a moment and said, "Mostly just some... tools that hunters would use, and some specially treated furs. I'm not sure how they're used."

"What about the books? What are they about?"

Poro turned his gaze to the several obvious paper items on the ground in the distance.

"Hmm... I haven't had time to look yet..."

"Then bring them over now and let's take a look."

Lake nodded and took several stacks of paper rolls and a notebook in her hands.

As before, when reading the "Bishop's Victim Diary," she held Poro in her arms, being careful not to touch the scar on Poro's belly, and then opened the paper rolls.

"Looks like this guy was really a bounty hunter."

Poro said as he looked at the contents of the paper rolls.

The materials, times, and even the format and text of the recorded files on these paper rolls were all different, but they mostly recorded information about someone.

Most had hand-drawn images.

To be precise... they were the kind of "target intelligence sheets" specifically for assassins or bounty hunters.

And they were from different forces.

On most intelligence sheets, a cross had been drawn over the target's head.

Next to it was the date.

"These... should be the targets that the witch hunter has already killed."

Poro thought for a moment and made a judgment.

Most of the intelligence sheets were stained with blood, as if the witch hunter liked to use them as rags.

And the one on top was actually the forest witch—that is, Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother's intelligence!

"What a bloody executioner."

Poro sighed and turned his gaze to a... paper roll placed separately outside.

Unlike the other intelligence sheets, this one was wrapped in cloth, and instead of being crumpled together like the other paper rolls, it was rolled into a tube and tied with a string.

The exterior of this paper roll was not stained with any blood.

It was enough to show... the witch hunter himself attached special importance to the information recorded in it!

"What's so different about this one?"

Poro thought, casually untied the string, and unfolded it to look.

A girl with black hair was drawn very meticulously, and it could be seen that the original probably looked very beautiful.

What's so special about that?

A celebrity poster?

Poro was a little puzzled, so he continued to look down.

But when he saw the girl's name and the description that followed, Poro's eyes widened instantly, and an uncontrollable horror surged into his heart like a tsunami!

[Snow White]

[Princess of the Sino Kingdom, extremely beautiful in appearance, skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony...]

[Currently escaped to the east side of the kingdom's forest]

[Extremely dangerous, life or death is acceptable, bring back the corpse, ensure the body and appearance are mostly intact]

[Reward: An answer, a thousand gold and silver, the title of Duke]

"Snow... White!?"

Poro murmured the familiar name in a daze.

Although he knew that this world was likely related to fairytales, he never expected that another famous name would appear before his eyes like this!

This hunter... tried to hunt Snow White?!

And what's the situation with Snow White?

Could this be related to the witch hunter's inexplicable murderous intent toward beautiful girls?

Poro looked at the description of "extremely dangerous," plus the reward below, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Lake, what else is special about the witch hunter, describing his experiences?"

Poro asked somewhat anxiously.

"Well, this should be the last one."

Lake took out the witch hunter's last notebook, opened it, "I just flipped through it casually before, this should be a hunting log, but it's a bit incomplete."

"Incomplete?"

"Many pages in the front have been torn off, leaving only a few thin pages. I think this should be... a hunting experience that he valued more, right?"
