The author decided to change stories in this volume to using the characters and stories from his older works. Fortunately, I had read "My Wolf," so I kinda know what's going on with each of the characters. However, I don't think it was such a good idea to keep the manga named "Dear" while straying off into another story. Maybe he'll tie in these two stories with Komomo and Chiruha as suggested at the end of the book. I still disagree that he went on a tangent for these chapters.

Comics on the inside covers, mini-comic at the end and a color page are the bonuses.

11. Brave and Lycanthrope: More adventures with Komomo and Subaru. Komomo is hard at work trying to earn enough money to buy a house. However, what she really wants to do is hero work. So she gets the task of finding some bandits. She doesn't have enough experience to defeat them but as always Subaru comes in and saves the day.

12. Fight and Resolution: In order to get some money, Komomo decides to enter a fighting competition. She asks Subaru to train her and she competes. Through the help of Subaru during the match, she emerges victorious.

13. 確乎 (Unshakeable): This story follows one of Subaru's former generals, プリン＝ハーウェル (Prin Howell?). She's has a close rapport with 紅 (Kurenai) and his servant Carol (they saved Subaru from his right hand in "My Wolf") because they saved her from the Lycanthrope curse. Prin is about to depart on vacation, but everyone worries for her because she's a klutz and apparently, the curse shows itself again.

14. 恩愛之絆 (Bonds of Love): Prin, Kurenai, and Carol come to Prin's brother's house and spend some time there. They get attacked by a monster and Prin saves the day. When they depart, there's a minor scene where the captain from the previous two books seems them flying off.
