## Story

### The Order of the Swan Knights

She came to pick up Therion from distant Kisonia. The snakes were watching Therion, so she couldn't get to him.

Kouki calls out unexpectedly. The white-haired girl jumps up in surprise and moves away from Kouki.

The wolf girl at Kouki's side says proudly. Haya said and urged Kouki to go ahead. It seems that she intends to use Kouki as a shield. Kouki and Haya start running together. Snobihe Kingdom was close by. Haya, who is with Kouki, says her compatriots are nearby with a twinkle in her eye. Among them may be the Beast God Child that Haya is looking for.

Haya says she smelt her compatriots are nearby and quickly goes inside the broken section of the rampart. Kouki's Haya were concerned about the safety of each other's companions. They then proceeded onwards, keeping a wary eye on their surroundings.

She runs towards Therion but stumbles, falls and slips on her way to Therion.

Suddenly Haya pops out and attempted to persuade Therion to escape from Dahāku. There are tears in her eyes. Haya promptly follows Kouki's instruction to heal Therion wound. Haya stops Therion from moving. Therion had been shot in the leg and was under Haya's healing magic. Therion orders a full retreat, but only Haya who came last is late. Haya hurriedly chases after her comrades.

Haya bows before Therion as they take a break. Haya proudly stretches her chest. She is happy that she is trusted. When Therion complimented Haya, Haya's eyes light up even more.

### The Winds of the Prairie

Haya stood besides Casiga. She advises Casiga to let ouki go as she felt bad vibes coming from a distance. Haya looks to the sky and think the stars will guide them. In the morning, the Fang People see Kouki off from the hilltop. Haya says Kouki will meet Therion again in the future.

## Development

The name 'wolf boy' sounds like a liar, but Hayaana is not a liar. At first the author thought about making her look like a wolf, but in the end he decided to make her humanoid.
