Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy season 2 episode 12 begins with one of Misumi Makoto's follower orcs being threatened by giant beasts while clearing the north woods of the Demiplane. They're warned to stay away before being let go.

Makoto discusses the attack with his followers, Tomoe and Mio, who inform him of the involvement of a giant bear and wolf in the incident.

Makoto suggests opening a mist gate in the right location to solve the problem, but the correct spot remains under investigation.

Makoto then ventures into the woods to address the problem and encounters a giant bear, which he easily incapacitates. He then faces a pack of wolves, attempting to negotiate with them. Eventually, they agree that Makoto will leave the forest to the beasts, who will continue to safeguard it.

In return, Makoto offers assistance and expresses his desire to befriend them. Suddenly, an enormous bear named Brownie appears, and they establish the sanctuary known as the Wolf's Woods through mutual agreement.
