A werewolf can be either a beastman that can turn into a human during a full moon, or a monster wolf that becomes bipedal and stronger during a full moon. That is a werewolf, so it can't be... Just to be sure, I actually looked into the house and was surprised.

"The house is alive... That's surprising... To think that a house can have a soul of its own" [Diana].

"Meow!?" [Fie]

"Correct! It's a house that can change shape when the moon is full" [Merlin]

"It turns into a wolf? Or a human?" [Diana]

"Neither. It will grow limbs, a tail and a mouth. Those three are a must. Others like eyes, wings, tails or any other imaginable body parts depend on the type of werehouse" [Merlin].

"Well, good thing night is still a few hours away... Unless..." [Diana]

"Another correct assumption. They're the Dark Guild, they're not stupid enough to let this werehouse be discovered. No, no, no. They will surely have a trick up their sleeve" [Merlin].

"Can't you tell me more?" [Diana]

"Nope. Try to find out for yourself. Don't worry, if it comes to the worst, I'll save you and Fie for sure" [Merlin].

"Alright. Besides, it will be more fun to sneak around and discover their secret. Fie, are you ready?" [Diana]

"Meow!" [Fie]

"Then let's go go go!" [Diana]

The Werehouse is like a typical warehouse found in Amleth, Gastrium, or Emas. If anything, this one is a little bigger and it looks like it has two floors instead of one. It has a chimney, but there's no smoke coming out of it. It's surrounded by magic stones connected by a series of small circles with a line connecting them all. I don't even need to analyze it to know its function. It's for both protection and detection. Anyway, I analyze it anyway, since I want to manipulate it, but

(Isn't it alive? Does that mean it will detect what I'm about to do?) [Diana]

That's my main concern, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I'll start by analyzing a corner of the house and go from there.

There's an imaginary line that connects all the stones and circles into the house. I haven't read anything about this kind of monster, so I'm not sure of their exact anatomy and behavior, but I can safely assume that it's all connected to a magical core. A large one at that. It's also pulsating, maybe it serves as its own heart? If it has a heart, doesn't that mean it has a blood vessel? Maybe, but I couldn't detect it, unless instead of a blood vessel, the pulsation I felt is a way for it to regulate mana throughout its body? Perhaps. 

There's a thick wall here. Maybe that's where a tail will be growing out from? So, I'm at the back of the werehouse. Further inspection tells me that there are also similar but thicker walls on each side of the werehouse, so it's safe to assume that it will be a quadriplegic type of monster. I couldn't make out its mouth, but I'm going to assume that it will be opposite where its tail will be.

(Start pouring my mirage magic here. Make it so that the house will be drowsy, or better yet, fall asleep, as soon as it changes its form. Dark Mana to make it go crazy as well. Hmm... What's that? Interesting. So it knows it's being tampered with. I'm sure it will alert the occupant inside. Not good. Not good) [Diana]

Since it's a werehouse and it has a soul

"Witch Art: Take Over" [Diana]

I stare directly at its soul. I command its soul to be quiet for a while. I'm surprised that it actually works. Maybe because it was surprised and didn't have much time to resist. Good. Good. But I won't give you the chance. I'll use Mirage Mana to make you obey me even more. I don't think I should activate Fairy Queen Titania's Blessing, but just to be on the safe side, I'll do it. With that, she will obey me as I keep telling the werehouse to be quiet and let me enter. 

(It rejected my suggestion? You're pretty loyal, aren't they? Do not kill them? All right. I wouldn't. You have my word) [Diana]

It feels like I am talking to a puppy or a kitten. That's cute. Now I feel bad. I feel really bad. I've never seen any of you before, so I'm not sure of your exact age. Maybe you're older than me, but in terms of developmental stage, I guess you're like a baby werehouse? If so, that's kind of cute. It makes me want to have you as a pet.

"Meow!" [Fie]

"Yes, I have you, Fie. Don't worry, but it's also nice to have more pets. What is Werehouse food anyway? Do you know Master Merlin?" [Diana]

"It's been a few hundred years since I last saw one. If I'm not mistaken, it mainly eats wood." [Merlin]

"Hoo... Nice! I can use wood magic to feed it!" [Diana]

Well then. Time to defeat the people inside!
