In his defense, it seems like the backstory of 99% of non-humans in these isekai is that they've already been put into slavery, are being approached by seemingly nice people only to be put into slavery, or to be framed for a crime. So being approached by anyone is suspicious.

And in this case he was approached while being actively discriminated against, so he was already primed to be on the lookout for that.

And even if the character knew that he was being approached by the protagonist... That doesn't seem to always be a safe bet either. So many protagonists are on a power trip, or have massive scary secrets. In this case he's literally being approached by a 300+ year old Dragon Demon General that has spent 300 years getting brainwashed by ancient monsters into thinking they were good guys and that the hero is bad. So he is very very very right to be suspicious.

I had just been theorizing before, but it seems it really was the case that wolf boy had been approached by "friends" that wanted to enslave him.

They had that conversation in the middle of a fight?

Imagine training for 300 years just to take a bullet for a wolf instead of having a way to deal with it 😂 Author really wanted to make that connection with the wolf huh..

Since when is the MC slower than a bullet?
Since when would a bullet even break his skin?
...Since he needed to take one for a friend for plot reasons.

What on earth is that!?

Clearly it's Ditto

He knew he would not die from it or even take permanent damage.
True, it is kinda dirty fighting but taking a Bullet for someone usually works. Dude IS mentally over 300 years old, sooo
(That or author got cheap and did it for plot reasons.)

 

[KUROT3M3]

So, you are telling me all that training for 300 years was for him to be this weak?
i mean if you trained that long and can't even catch a bullet then you should do nothing and stay away from everyone

If the next scene doesn't have tentacles, I'm dropping this manga.
