---In Jarek's room, Olzug ??castle, land in the clouds, Australia---

  “Hah…hah…”

  Jarek breathed heavily with a red face. She lay on the bed with her rabbit ears hanging down. Sweat dripped all over her body, causing her to take off her jacket and drop it on the floor. She clearly felt fatigue and heat spreading throughout her body. Her strength seemed to be evaporating with every breath and every drop of sweat.

  “…Should I…”

  Jarek picked up the smartphone placed on the small nightstand next to the bed. A small object that was not even ? kg suddenly became heavier than ever. She looked at the phone number and the name Joker Zone, her mind full of hesitation and thought. Joker said if yo

  u see anything wrong, call him.

  “…No, it's not right to bother him on his first day here… it's really not…”

  The female Shapechanger sighed heavily, her words a painful admission of her own weakness. She put the phone down slowly, as if every fiber of her body protested movement. The fever tormented her not only with its heat, but also with its piercing coldness. In her delirium, gloomy thoughts began to surround her like darkness. From within her fevered stupor, a question arose in her mind, sharp as a blade: Could it be that her presence was not welcome in this magical castle? And if that's true, are you worried that Joker's family will hate you for it?

  Knock knock

  “Hmm!”

  Jarek's rabbit ears fluttered when he heard a knock on the door. She quickly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom. The female Shapechanger used water and a towel to clean the sweat all over her body and cool down her fever. However, the body becomes extremely slow compared to usual. What she could do in a split second now took tens of seconds.

  Knock knock

  “Are you still in the room?” Joker's voice spoke from the other side of the room door.

  “W-wait a minute.” Jarek quickly shouted in response. She put on her coat and walked to the door with a greeting. “Do you need something?”

  Greeting her was not only Joker but also two other people behind him. A beautiful young woman who looked no more than 20 years old. With long dark hair, she wore a white dress with some sparkling gold jewelry. Her most prominent features are the wolf ears on her head and her ruby ??red eyes. Next to her was a tall man, his body covered with muscles. He has mohawk-style hair, a beard, and golden hair. He has a square face as if he has spent four decades of his life. The woman has a gentle smile, the man has a friendly grin.

  “Did I come at the wrong time?” Joker asked, his nose sniffling a few times.

  “Ah…” Jarek immediately thought of a way to cover it up. Her rabbit ears were not straight up like usual, but slightly curved down, they swayed weakly and lifelessly. “It's just… I just played some sports games…”

  “What kind of sports game is capable of making someone like you sweat…” The black-haired boy's eyes narrowed in suspicion. But he didn't ask anything more and put his hand into the Bag of Holding on his hip. "Anyway, I have something to give you."

  “Hmm?” Jarek's eyes widened when Joker put a glass bottle containing a shiny red liquid inside. "This is?"

  “The potion Albina sent, it will help you get better and cure your illness.” Joker replied and put his hands in his pockets.

  “I will thank Albina the next time we meet.” Jarek smiled gently and a little tiredly.

  “Also, are you feeling better?” Joker continued asking.

  “…Huh!”

  The rabbit-eared female Shapechanger blinked a few times in confusion. The next second, she realized that her body was no longer hot, and her strength seemed to have returned to her muscles and lungs!

  “…I feel better!” Jarek smiled full of energy, her rabbit ears were erect again and wiggled more vigorously.

  "Good." Joker breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I'll go-“

  The boy turned around to leave. However, the two people behind him completely blocked his path.

  “Hmhmhm, so this is the lady that Joker has his eyes on~.” The woman smiled contentedly. The wolf ears on her head swayed gently, and the tail on her back wiggled excitedly.

  “You know me…” Joker replied half-napping.

  “That's a good start~.”

  The wolf-eared woman patted Joker's head, even though she was a head shorter than him. When the two of them stand next to each other, they look like brothers, even though their expressions seem to be the opposite.

  “Thank you, without you, this guy probably wouldn't talk to me~.” The blond man laughed out loud, giving him a thumbs up. “Sorry for the inconvenience. The castle's security system has now been adjusted, so she can rest assured. If you need anything else, just tell me and everything will fall into place ~.”

  “Ah, thank you.” She nodded slightly and asked. “Um, I'm Jarek, who are you two?”

  “Well…” Joker scratched his cheek and awkwardly introduced himself. “This woman who looks like a puppy but is as dangerous as a T Rex is Skoll, my mother. And the other Simp is Sabata, my old man and owner of this castle."

  “Mom is a wolf!” The woman called Skoll put her hands on her hips with an annoyed look. ”And T Rex is clearly much weaker than mom!”

  “Sorry… I didn't know…” Joker immediately replied, without missing a second.

  “T Rex is cute.” Jarek closed his hands with an amused smile. ”They are big, but their hands are tiny. And their meat is like chicken, but sturdier ~.”

  “… Mom already likes this friend of yours.” Skoll placed his hand in front of his chin, smiling mischievously.

  “Look, dad is a gentleman who knows how to appreciate beauty~.” Joker's father Sabata corrected, he puffed out his chest and spoke proudly. ”And your mothers are the most beautiful beauties in this solar system!”

  “…Hopefully my list of stepmothers won't get longer.” The black-haired boy looked at his father with eyes full of contempt.

  “What do you mean?” Jarek wondered at Joker's harshness.

  “In short, Mrs. Haruka, Mother Soulflare, Mother Skoll, and a few more people you haven't met yet, they are all this old man's wife and my stepmother.” Joker sighed and listed the reasons.

  “Hm…” Jarek flattened one rabbit ear, his head tilted to the side. ”What's wrong with it?”

  This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  “…”

  The black-haired boy paused for a few seconds. He suddenly remembered this rabbit-eared female Shapechanger's unusual common sense. People can gently comment on the taste of dinosaurs, to the point that polygamy is not normal. He realized that Jarek may have lived on this earth more than 80 million years ago, or from some prehistoric world!

  “A person with such an open mind, no wonder why Jozo softens his heart ~.” Sabata crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction.

  “What does the boy bother you? Just say something and I will correct him!”

  With assurance, Skoll gave a thumbs up with a confident smile. Contrary to his mother, Joker's face turned pale as if he had lost a significant amount of blood because of that friendly warning! Most bitterly of all, he truly became a misfit in this four-person conversation.

  “By the way, are you interested in games?” Skoll asked, her wolf tail starting to swing faster and harder.

  “I'm playing with the Joker right now!” Jarek dangled his bunny ears, giving him a thumbs up

  “Great, why don't you send me a friend request? You, me, Joker, Niki and Aaron, we will be a team to the finish!”

  The female wolf wagged her tail continuously, her eyes seemed to light up. In complete contrast to Skoll, Joker sighed heavily.

  “Now, let's not take up any more of our time.” Sabata placed his hand on Skoll's shoulder and smiled. “What's for dinner? We'll talk more.”

  “Oh yes, tonight mom will show off her cooking skills!” Skoll raised his slender biceps, his sly smile filled with confidence.

  “…Food can be made in the kitchen. And even Unseen Servants can cook. So you don't have to waste so much effort." Joker answered, but it was difficult to understand his mother's intentions.

  “Look, you only come home sometimes, just take it easy and enjoy my skills!” The female wolf grinned.

  "…Yes." Joker replied after a few seconds of silence.

  “Okay then, we'll meet again tonight, won't bother you both anymore. Be sure to show me that new trick you learned, Jozo~.”

  Skoll said then walked leisurely out of that hallway. Sabata just grinned at the second shift and followed his wife.

  “Well, it's not convenient to stand here. Shall we go inside and talk?” Jarek asked for advice, placing his hand on the doorknob of his room.

  “Well, that's fine.”

  Joker replied and followed into the room. Jarek quickly created a scent spray and quickly sprayed it around, especially around the bed.

  “Eheheh…” The Shapechanger girl laughed, her face turning red in embarrassment.

  “Because of the castle, you're not feeling well.” Joker sat on the chair next to the room's desk, his voice monotonous and unchanged. “Besides, I'm no stranger to the smell of your sweat. We've worked together for a while, we're used to the blood and sweat."

  “But…” Jarek clasped his hand in the scent spray bottle in his hand, eyes slightly downward to avoid looking directly at the boy. “It's so embarrassing…”

  “The castle gave you a fever that made the room overheat and sweat like this…” the black-haired boy sighed. You should have told me… I said it before.”

  "Since I came to visit your family... I wanted to avoid disturbing you as much as possible..." The bunny-eared female sat on the bed, hugging the pillow with both hands. Her ears drooped shyly like a young girl.

  “You've been bothering me all the time, it's too late to be afraid now.” Joker sighed and scratched his head. “Just relax, just like on the ground.”

  “If you say so…” Jarek's rabbit ears stood up again, her eyes turned to Joker and smiled. ”Speaking of smells, you smell like a wolf like Miss Skoll. No wonder you always smell like a wolf even though you look like an Earthling.”

  “…Aside from hair color, I almost lack my mother's characteristics.” The black-haired boy tilted his head to one side in boredom. “Even though I inherited my mother's wolf blood, I'm incredibly weak… and not as talented as the old man…”

  “And you like games too, why don't you seem excited to play with her?” Jarek wondered further.

  “…Some problems in the past.” Joker hesitated for a moment then spoke.

  “Is it that bad?” The rabbit-eared female Shapechanger was a bit worried when she saw the gloomy expression on the boy's face.

  “Well…” the boy covered his face. He took a deep breath and sighed for a moment before continuing. “At the age of 10, when I groped her breasts, she broke both of her arms…”

  “Huh!” Jarek blinked a few times, looking dumbfounded. An answer that was too short and twisted compared to what she expected. “But… why did she do that? With another child?”

  “She said 10 years old was old enough and would stop pampering me. Following that was the time when I was taken to the Amazon jungle, in order to learn how to survive and fight. Those 6 years were quite haunting for me, even though they helped me a lot to become stronger.” The wolf boy held his forehead, his face became gloomy and extremely tired. “Even after practicing hard all that time, I still didn't get much better…”

  “I don't think wolf ears and tail are the only characteristics of Lady Skoll~.” The female Shapechanger swayed her rabbit ears, smiling affectionately. “You have the same courage and toughness as Miss Skoll, and the same gentleness as Sabata.”

  “…It would be even better if he didn't make my name a joke and become a Jojo ref.” Joker leaned back, his back touching the edge of the wooden table, his mouth pouting in indescribable boredom.

  “I think maybe it wasn't just a joke.” Jarek shook his head.

  “What makes you think so highly of him?” That answer made the wolf boy curious. He adjusted his original sitting position, eyes turned to the other person, one eyebrow furrowed.

  “That man has a lot of natural energy. They continuously flowed from him. “ Jarek took a nap, his mind recalling carefully what he had seen in that short conversation. “I can see, his eyes can see far away, understand more things. All wrapped up in a gentle exterior and simple conversation. The magicians I have seen are vessels or ponds containing natural energy. On the contrary, he was like a waterfall constantly pouring out energy!”

  “…Speaking of which, he possesses stronger magical abilities than any Spellcaster I know.” Joker's hands suddenly grabbed his cheeks, his mind began to fill with questions. “There's a high possibility that he also used a divination type spell on himself and could see more than just the naked eye… But, why?”

  “Instead of you wondering and finding vague answers yourself. Talk to your father, he will definitely share with you.” The bunny-eared woman smiled gently.

  “I don't want to hear any more harsh truths…” Joker scratched his head, his mind filled with doubt to the point of negativity.

  “I will guarantee!” Jarek lay stretched out on the bed, his arms stretched out to his sides. ”If I'm wrong, just use all the harshest words to insult me, or do whatever you want with my body! I will take responsibility for everything!”

  “Sigh…” the wolf boy let out a long sigh, his face regaining its usual composure. “I'll try that, especially if you're willing to go that far. It's true that I'm weak, but I'm not a coward. Especially when I know that to make Dreamer stronger, my heart must also be stronger. After all, I need more strength!”

  After his words expressing his determination, Joker then noticed. Jarek smiled, but her face was red.

  “Do you still have a fever?” Joker asked worriedly.

  “Ah no.” Jarek quickly waved his hands and corrected himself. “It's just… I was looking.”

  “See what?” The wolf boy wondered.

  "Uncle." The rabbit-eared female Shapechanger hugged the pillow tightly in her arms, her sparkling eyes never leaving the wolf boy. “Watching a Joker becoming more beautiful, step by step closer to his ideal dream.”

  “…I'm glad I actually had the change I needed, proving that I'm stronger.” Joker closed his eyes for a few seconds in relief, while avoiding answering Jarek's words directly.

  “But surprisingly… besides animal ears, you like breasts…” Jarek put the pillow in front of his mouth and chuckled.

  “Please forget…” Joker grinned, holding his face tightly.

  “Don't worry, I'll also share a few of my secrets, that's only fair to you!” The female Shapechanger replied with an embarrassed red face, her bunny ears slightly flattened.

  “Uh… thanks but no need.” The wolf boy shyly withdrew his head. If he had wolf ears and a tail right now, it would probably curl up too.

  “But then I wouldn't be very fair.” Jarek raised his rabbit ears and stopped using the pillow to cover his mouth. She looked much bolder even though her face was still red as a beetroot.

  “…If you have made up your mind, here are my ears.” Although still hesitant, Joker was convinced by his opponent's determination.

  “To put it simply…” The female Shapechanger shyly averted her eyes. “Let you use sensitive places on my body to satisfy your desires… or roughly as if you wanted to rape me ~.”

  “…” The wolf boy was silent for a few seconds, his brain trying to process what the rabbit girl in front of him had just said. “I knew you lived a long and abnormal life, but who would have thought you were cultured to that extent…”
