Dead Queen Nala's
03 Friends and the Past

Speaking of the past, or rather my previous life as a human being, I almost forgot the memories related to friendship, even if I remembered well, I did not have any memorable memories of it.

Not long after my father died, my mother and I moved to my grandmother's place. At SMP near there I also studied. Continuing my education in 8th grade, I felt inferior for being a stranger to students who had known each other since 7th grade. Fortunately it didn't last long because one of the students found out that I was the niece of a teacher who was quite famous there. The other students introduced themselves to me.

Everything was going normally, until a famous High School student, having a crush on me and not long after, shot me. That guy is not bad. He's pretty cool, and from a source I know, the idol at his school. But I refused it. I can't believe a man who suddenly declares love to a newly known girl, even more so at a lower level. Besides, I didn't want to make a furore, which I realized too late, happen.

The rumors about me rejecting the man spread quickly. Fortunately my status as a teacher's nephew, as well as a student who was often praised by other teachers, kept me protected from unwanted things. Unfortunately, the students who had wanted to be friends with me, started to stay away from me because they were afraid of being bullied by the group of students who did not like me.

Things didn't improve when I went to High School. The nickname "Queen of Arrogance" had spread even when I was still an ospek. I tried not to care and focused on learning until I got the honor I had when I was Junior High. I managed to be trusted to occupy the position of chairman of OSIS in the first year. I have no friends, but I have control. Their scorn did not affect me, it proved that I was much better than them.

Back to the present. Dora came to play with me, and as usual, Pufu went with her. Since the conversation at the gathering at that time, inexplicably Pufu also started to approach me.

I've used it so I think it's okay to make time for him. Earlier, I asked Kronii about whether I could learn something from half-wolves, and Kronii said if I could replicate the way they ran.

At first I thought that Dora had a bad character. He can't be quiet, is hyperactive, and never listens. But then I got used to it, and now, I like it enough.

Still harboring memories of my past made me subconsciously equalize everything. I forgot that right now I'm not the Proud Queen. I'm just a zombie.

Together with Dora and Pufu brought that feeling back. The feeling before my mom and I moved on. The feeling I've forgotten. Pleasure friends.

I realized that this feeling doesn't change the fact that my life is still threatened. But at least this is the best sedative right now, and who knows if this very noisy wolf girl will increase my success surviving in this chaotic world. Or at least, he will always be by my side.
