Elias let those wolves into that passage knowing exactly what was going to happen to them. :p

Elias: *lets them go in*

Me: *evil smirk* lol

It was implied, that he knew, and simply didn't care. But allowed with the caveat they left Chise alone. But at the same time, he was more than happy for them to be fodder. That's cold. And I'm ashamed I chuckled. Feel kinda bad for the female wolf though. Happy she didn't leave a Robin. As I doubt her child would get a Batman.

Elias: "No, please. After you." :P

Elias: You may go, i won't do anything........but they will

Elias: Oh you want the smoke? Douzou.
Doggos: Do you agree to the terms and conditions?
Wolf Assasins: Skip.
Doggos: They gon learn today. Youre in my territory now.

Actually, they're Lovecraft's Hounds of Tindalos that haunts the space/time continuum and would hunt down unweary time travellers that don't have any form of defenses or give tribune payment. Time Lords get a hard pass from the hounds 😎

Id wana dodge a flying phone booth too

Elias being real devious this episode.

Well he won't have to worry about spending money on buying meat as a payment to the hounds, when he can offer them free wolf meat, also it would get rid of the wolf assassins, so it'd be like killing two birds with one stone lol, he saw that as an absolute win, that sly one.

Looks Like Meat's Back On The Menu, Boys!

Mmm mmm mmm fresh meat lol

Itadakematsu!

Dogs = Seniors
Wolves = freshmens when they go to their first college frat party.
Dogs: Freshmeat! 😛

That sweet old meme...

Elias: "Go ahead. Go after them"
Wolves: "A mistake was made"
I think we can consider that one payment already paid, right?

Still want to know what the deal with those wolves and the Webster family is, though. Seem like I still need to wait for a bit.

I'm not sure about the original tragedy since it seems like the wolves' child was accompanying them but currently it does seem like whoever hired them is keeping their child hostage.

The hunters became the hunted lol

Dog eat dog

Seems like the Wolves are victims as well, if their child is being held hostage...
Someone is running a deep conspiracy here.

Elias taught them a lesson.

Nice comment Ohms.

I figured the (were?)wolves were mercenaries/coerced. We might have to wait a bit before the client is revealed.

Chise is just too nice….

Should’ve let them hounds eat their meat lol

I would have saved one of them too. After all, there's still some intel to get out of them before they become dinner...

Exactly.

Now she has to prepare more sheep! D:

I think she did well, but should have keep them to interrogate or she should have told the wolves she will save them if they cooperate

it is easier to interrogate the living.

The one benefit to letting the wolf go is that they can now have a lead into the investigation and can potentially interrogate the wolf into revealing who the client is.

Those protective charms are really something, it saved both the guard and Seth, they should really stack up on them if they can lol.

I wonder why Seth didn't say anything when Lucy asked if it was her fault, it's not like she aimed to be the successor, it didn't even seem like she was aware he had no magic. Depending on his age I might understand, but I was surprised he didn't say anything at all and let her blame herself for him leaving. Hopefully her overhearing his conversation with Seth might help closing the distance they had.

Chise is coming up with brutal strategies but I guess she still isn't fully prepared for the choices she has been making, I am not surprised she stopped those creatures from tearing up the wolves any further even if they hadn't mentioned the child.

she is a kid probably thought wolves wont chase anymore, and got scared from witnessing gore. but seriously they ignore a pack of weird dogs and continue doing their business. I bet someone is holding their kids at gun point

The witch from season 1! Nice to see her again.
I'm really curious about those wolf people. Yes they gave a bad impression, but we don't know their motives at all.
Isn't that hooded child in the flashback one of their classmates?
Seems like the one using the book is someone from Philomela's family. Perhaps it's Veronica or maybe Philomela herself?

The wolves are clearly mercenaries, but we don't know who their client is.

My money's on Philomela being the one using the book, carrying out the bidding of her "grandmother". Veronica and her minions (the St. George twins) are probably there to make sure she doesn't deviate from the plan.

I didn't even noticed but I think you are right, the hooded kid might be the same dude!

NGL I like the way Dragon Curse Chise personality thinks

omg two furries lol

You send them in there to have the hounds kill them, so why did you save them as well? 'They seemed like they had a kid.'
I don't like what that implies, Chise, about your value-system regarding what makes someone worthy to live on.

"Won't somebody please think of the children!?" - Chise, probably. :P

I would have saved one for intel.

chise is smart because now the female wolf is in debt to chise because she saved her life

Would you be grateful to the one who opened up a magical route that led to the death of your mate and who clearly had a contract with the creature guarding it? :)

if she spared my life so I could see y child I would . Especially if I was the one who attacked first

I might as well, tbh.

Yes, ofcourse! Because if I'm the hunter and my prey defended themselves, yet chose to show more grace than I ever could then that is a huge chance for feeling gratitude!

I think we can kinda safely establish most people aren't innately as grateful as you (seeing as how 80% of your comments is you educating people on how to be better people), but moreso contemptuous in the face of such grace, magnamity & all those other wonderful saintly expressions.

Someone having kids is a rationale a lot of people would use. For Chise, though, she used to be an abandoned child with no one to love her until she met Elias.

Sure, I'm not reprimanding that she does this, I'm moreso hoping that's not the deciding line for her to save or not save someone.

I mean she's saved plenty of people who didn't have any children so i doubt you have to worry about it. It's just that Chise simply doesn't like harming others seeing how she didn't do anything even after having been attacked by them. And the wolf mentioning their child was the "breaking point" for Chise.

It implies that children should not have to suffer for parents messing up. It also implies that Chise can think a step ahead and will not kill without proper intel if it can be helped. And there's an implication that a kid might be at risk if no parent returns. She's not ready to buy her own safety or that of her friends at the expense of other equally uninvolved parties and there's a chance that the hunters are acting from a place of having no way out. Meaning some abuser is wreaking havoc on them all.

That said, Lucy survived. Lucy was spared and they admited to have come to "finish the job", so they spared her last time. That's a spared life for a spared life.

Not to mention, that what makes abuse the responsibiliy of the abuser, is that we strive to make choices to not use their type of reasoning. "It's OK to kill if ..." It's never OK. It should never be easy. It should always hurt. For if it does not, then we're a step away from becoming the very monsters that hount others cause they agreed to "It being OK if...".

Some are stronger than others. Strong enough to extend kindness to enemies. Strong enough to maintain integrity till the end. Strong enough to stay accountable for the times when they acted outside of integrity. Strong enough to not make terrible choices, just cause they appear to be "easier". The never are. Their consequences are the poison draging down everything around.

Truly strong people choose to stop the vicious cycle whenever they possibly can! At times, they can stop them even beyond their own deaths, because integrity is not a joke. It's a power stronger than magic. Though few understand that even to this day.
