Placing bets that she took the combat exam without the use of the drug and that’s why her score was just scraping by

Oh, I like that.

That mom is still such an arrogant . . . I mean, clearly there's some kind of end run around her little pronouncement, but what she's saying is "I've made sure the likes of you can't protect my daughter, and by the way my condition for dating is that you can protect my daughter."
Not sure just how racist she is, because although clearly she doesn't think anyone who isn't a witch is a real person who should get to make their own decisions about anything, she ALSO doesn't think that about her own daughter, so maybe it's just generalized "All the power and decisions in the world should belong to me". But I can't say I'm fond of her.

I can't help but hear Krolik (GFL2) in that "HAH?"

For once, just this once, I don't think the chairman is totally off-base here. It's not Yage's fault that the Werewolf Village has messed up. The larger issue is bullying and organizational trust, not police jurisdiction, but withholding the drugs makes sense. The witches are more tolerant about Xing Lan than most werewolves, which we couldn't be sure about until recently. The chairman might not have allowed Xing Lan to be raised as well as she was, but if the village protected Xing Lan and didn't hide her out of their racism, cops wouldn't have had leverage anyhow. The village hasn't been trusted to provide warriors for a while, and forcing werewolves to only use their limited supply of medicine for emergencies is a forceful but rather benign trade restriction. The politics works (even if I disagree with the simplistic justification) until we consider Yage who was too young to be culpable and didn't do anything worth the collective punishment.

Witches are physically weak and Yage had a difficult, and at worst an unfairly or excessively difficult combat test. Since Yage was allowed to get this far, it would be contradictory for an institutionalist like the chairman to be openly arbitrary here. If Yage can make an operational argument (she's useful, witches haven't worked with warriors recently) and a loyalty argument (her interests align with her girlfriend and Xing Lan), it would hurt the chairman's face to do worse than delay Yage getting an exemption for transformation medicine or forcing her to cut off the village for now (petty, but Yage isn't aligned with them anyhow). Yage can do without the drug so she's in the clear on all counts.

Mom isn't acting racist, just many other kinds of narrow-minded.

Anderson playing with the ahoge is hilarious.

Thank you for your hard work as always!

I don't think I been this early in awhile, just so happened to alone with today's schedule nice

Wait so failure to report hybrid species results to a ban in all drugs for instant transformation? Wait how does that make any sense, if it's about the potential of the getting some and becoming unstoppable than just ban her from using them, why ban all of them and inconvenience who knows how many wolves?

Anyways have a nice day

For how big of a deal that amnesia thing was in earlier chapters, the resolution seems very simple and undramatic, it's even just mentioned in passing now in a chapter about something completely different (oh yeah an amnesia thing we'll just undo this lmao)

perhaps it won’t be as easy as they think it’ll be …

Damn, I started rereading the series lately and noticed that the art took such a nose dive. It's a shame.

I agree with you overall, and this seems typical of Bilibili in general (that's what happens when your monetization scheme is centered around pay-per-chapter), but this chapter specifically focuses more on exposition. The next few look much nicer c:

I think they made it big deal before because they're not even in good terms with the witches and finding a powerful one would be pretty hard. Now that they're there and with the former leader backing them, it made it easy to resolve.

Banning the wolves from using the transformation drug over hiding one child seems petty and tyrannical.
