Noir spread his powerful wings, his plumage black as midnight, and wrapped Lalabel, the panther, carefully and tenderly. They provided a warm, comforting embrace. The girl adjusted her posture, feeling the comfort that only the wings of an eagle could offer.
-Gradually she opened her eyes, she was immediately surprised and slowly moved, "No wonder I felt quite comfortable, I was using Noir's arm," she wished she was human and regained her form, stretching her arms upwards. -I'll let her sleep a little longer," she turned her back to Noir, "Let's see if I've accomplished the system's mission," status window, an illuminated and transparent screen appeared.
*******************

*******************
A toothbrush and toothpaste appeared-I thought the reward would be more things like personal hygiene kit, - "well don't complain there could have been worse, maybe later we can access more things". -I sigh and put both hands on my hips.
The screen closes and then another message appears:

-Accepting the mission and closing the system window, Lalabel turned gently, ready to walk towards the nest. However, at that precise moment, her eyes met the sleepy figure of Noir, who had awakened to sense Lalabel's absence. A slight blush tinged Lalabel's cheeks as she realized that the two were only inches apart.
The encounter was more abrupt than Lalabel had expected. The young woman collided with Noir, who was still rubbing his eyes trying to fully awaken. An "auch" escaped Lalabel's lips, and in an instant, their gazes met, revealing a mixture of surprise and complicity. Noir, with his dark, tousled hair, blinked at the unexpected contact, drew a few creases across his forehead.
-Are you in a lot of pain? -Noir, concerned, reached out his hand to caress her slightly reddened forehead. Lalabel, still blushing, nodded shyly, and the two shared a moment of closeness.
-I'll go down to the village and get you some furs to change into, you stand out in that outfit! Wait for me to come back! -Noir transformed into a beast and descended towards the village.

Lalabel at first walked from one side to the other waiting for Noir, "I guess Noir's tardiness is because he's telling me how he saved the patriarch of the village, it's the most logical thing to do, so don't worry about it". It's true that my clothes stand out, at the time when the accident happened I was on my way back from the university after taking an exam, I was wearing worn out jeans, a white flannel with cat prints and my backpack, I don't see it with me. -she sighed despondently.
- This world is possible because many women follow manhwas from the world of beasts, and the collective desire of many fans materialized as a parallel world. This is the only explanation I can think of for this phenomenon, which makes me think of an anime with this kind of theory that I saw a few years ago. Well we already got into this mission, at least it occurred to me to ask for a support system, although it seems more like a cheat skill. Lalabel was absorbed in her thoughts. The gloom of the place enveloped her, and only the soft glint of the scattered sun provided a faint illumination. Immersed in her reflections, she did not notice the stealthy return of Noir, whose footsteps barely whispered over the rough surface of the cave.
Noir, with his stealthy presence, approached Lalabel, carrying with him a bundle of furs that he held delicately. His figure cut through the darkness, his silhouette slipped like a shadow among the stones. Lalabel was immersed in her thoughts that she did not hear when Noir returned to the cave.
Unaware of Noir's proximity, she remained immersed in her thoughts. The whisper of her own thoughts seemed to drown out the sound of approaching footsteps. It was then, in a moment of deep distraction, that Noir decided to announce her presence. -I'm back! - he whispered to the hate, at which point he reacted and awkwardly stepped backwards causing his feet to tangle. -ahhh I'm going to fall"-he closed his eyes waiting for the impact.
Noir, undeterred, dropped the furs he had brought with him, leaving them on the floor of the cave. Quick as the flash of a shadow, he reached out his arms and encircled Lalabel's waist firmly, as if about to begin an elegant dance. The gloom highlighted both of their expressions, their faces illuminated by the rays of the sun that was beginning to rise.
Noir's eyes reflected a spark of interest, as he held Lalabel in an unexpected pose. Although initially surprised, the expression on Lalabel's face transformed into a mixture of blushing and nervousness.
