I really should have read this volume before I read Dear vol. 3. This volume ties together the characters of My Wolf and Dear (early volumes). It doesn't add to the stories in the other books, but utilizes the characters so at least I know they're living in the same world.

There's two bonus 1-chapter stories, a color page, and a letter from the author, who I believe was still a teenage the time he wrote this volume.

1. プリノ (Prino), the general but a klutz at that, has just been exposed to the mummy of Lycanthrope (with only the decomposed hand showing) and is now cursed and will turn into a puppy if she's not cured. Occasionally she will start barking and then the next moment, she'll return not remember what just happened. So Kurenai and Carol (from the first My Wolf) take her to see the king (Subaru from the early volumes of Dear).

2. They go to the place the king is supposed to be, but he's not there so the three of them head into town. There, they hear about a Snow Witch who is causing some trouble. Prino wanders and gets lost. While she's lost, she gets lost in her thoughts remembering how much of a klutz she is. She meets Komomo and initially thinks she's the witch, but later finds out that she's a hero in training. The real witch shows up and Subaru defeats her.

3. Currently, Prino is in her puppy state, so they have to wait for her to return before Subaru can cure her. They wait and wait, but she doesn't return. They wonder if she doesn't want to come back. We then get a glimpse into her mind where she feels like she doesn't want to return to reality. Kurenai and Carol are able to call out to her and rescue her from the depths of her conscience. When she returns, Subaru cures her with a tap of his hand.
