Chapter 1 Part 3
Im home.
Woof!
When I got home, Night jumped to my chest as if to say, Ive been waiting. I caught him in a hurry and patted his head.
Im sorry to have you stay at home, okay? Its going to be like this from now on, but
Kyuun.
As I said that apologetically, Night was gently rubbing his cheek on my chest. So cute.
Ah, yeah! Night, I bought a collar and other things for you earlier!
Woof.
The pet shop that Ryo and the others taught me at school was a very nice place, so I was able to get a collar, a leash, and other things I needed there. (T/N: Whats wrong with Kaede, Author-san yo? You just skipped her, lol. Im sorry to everyone who was waiting for it :P)
You dont have to do it in the house, but you have to wear this collar when I take you outside. Okay?
Woof!
Alright.
Night replied pleasantly and offered his own head. I know its kinda late, but Night is really smart. Youre smarter than me, arent you?
Anyway, I bought a white collar for Night, hoping that it would stand out against his black fur. Im relieved that it looks good on him when I actually put it on.
Thats good Hows it? Does it hurt?
Woof woof!
Night moved around a bit with the collar on to make sure, then finally nodded and barked.
Alright! So what do you think? Do you want to go outside?
Woof? Woof!
Now that Ive bought a collar and leash, I want to take Night for a walk with me. I thought so and asked him out, and he replied cheerfully. I naturally smile when I hear that reply.
All right then, Ill get ready, so wait for me.
Woof!
I get ready to go for a walk while putting the things I bought in the refrigerator. Since its Night were talking about, I dont think he will defecate carelessly outside, but still, its the etiquette or manners So, I headed for the front door with a shovel, work gloves, and a plastic bag.
Now that were ready, lets go!
Woof!
And so we went out.
Woof! Woof!
Hey, Night. Dont get too carried away, its dangerous!
Since it was the first time hes outside the home in the Earth, I thought that Night would be intimidated by cars and such, but its just my needless anxiety. Nights curiosity was piqued as he gazed at the various things that existed on Earth. But hes smart, so he doesnt rush in and check-in my direction correctly. Hes cute. Im only saying hes cute, but hes really cute.
Nevertheless I thought it would be less crowded due to the time, but a lot of people were jogging and walking with their dogs just like me. Well, up until now, I just went straight home and didnt come out if there wasnt anything important, so I didnt know much about what was going on outside.
As I thought, my Night is very cute, and all the people who pass by are staring at us. Hes cute, isnt he? I think so too. Up until now, Ive only been looked by them with disdain its great progress.
As we continue our walk in peace, people passing by greeted us.
Good evening.
Eh? Ah, g-good evening!
I was surprised because no one had ever greeted me when I walked by before. I cant believe I get a greeting just for walking around well, Night is cute, so it cant be helped.
After enjoying our walk, we went home. When we get home, I say something that occurred to me to Night.
Ah, right. After dinner, why dont we take a walk in a different world to get some exercise?
Woof!
From Nights perspective, this Earth is a different world, but lets put it aside. Anyway, Owen-san and the others had visited the forest before, and I thought Id reduce the number of monsters to the forest entrance even a little to make it easier for them to come next. I dont think the number will diminish so easily, even if we killed the monsters. Well, its too dangerous to call it a walk, though.
However, if I keep doing it steadily, something may change, so I will continue to do it every day from now on. Im sure my physical strength would increase like an idiot. On top of all, I think its great that I can gain more combat experience.
I dont know how dangerous this place is in this world, but it shouldnt hurt to keep your strength up. Thats all it takes to stay safe in this world, after all. After deciding on my future policy, I finished my dinner, just as I had declared, and went for a walk in the forest with Night for some combat training.
The day Yuuya went for his first walk with Night, people who saw him took pictures and videos of him and posted them on SNS, where rumors began to spread.
Who is this guy?
Oh, I know this place!
Hes so handsome I mean, isnt the dog super-cute, too?
Whats the breed of this dog? Im not sure at all
As rumors of Yuuya spreading, Yuuya, who doesnt even have a cell phone, let alone social media, found out about it but it was still a long way off.
The last few days have been really fulfilling. I enjoyed casual conversations with Ryo and the others at school, and when I return home, my family, Night, is waiting for me. Until now, I had no place in either school or home now I have a place in both.
Thank you.
Woof?
I said that while picking Night up and stroking him, and he tilted his head curiously. Cute.
I put on the leash to Night to go out for the walk, which I make a habit of doing, and we start walking our usual walk. We walked from the riverbank to the park near my house, and we ended up playing in the park, which has become a fun place for Night and me.
At first, the curious Night had been full of vigor with this and that, but now he was quietly enjoying his leisurely walk with me. And even though its not quite there yet, some people have come to remember my face as I walk around and greet them, and more and more people are greeting me oppositely.
But I dont think there were so many people before, but recently people have been especially, I think that the number of women has increased on our walking course. Is it just my imagination?
Huh? Yuuya-san?
Hmm? Ah, Kaori!
As we continued our leisurely walk, we ran into Kaori by chance. Kaori is carrying a shopping bag of some kind, so she must be on her way home from shopping.
Hello. Uhm Whos this child?
Oh, Ill introduce you. This is Night. Hes my new family.
Woof!
When I introduced Kaori to Night, he barked cheerfully with his chest out. Im sure hes trying to look cool, but when the little Night does it, hes just plain cute.
Hes so cute! I-is it okay if I touch him?
Night, is that okay?
Woof.
As Night approached Kaori on his own, Kaori slowly began to stroke him.
Whoa! Night-sans fur is very fluffy and smooth!
Woof.
Night was pleased with Kaoris reaction and leaned into her.
This child is adorable, isnt he? What is his type?
Huh? UmwellI-I dont know. Hes just a child I picked up!
Is that so? But from the state of this child, he seems glad that Yuuya-san picked him up.
Woof!
Night barked once as if to affirm Kaoris words. Uh Im glad you feel that way But that was a close one. If you asked me what breed of dog Night was, I wouldnt have an answer Black Fenrir? Its a different world race that Im not sure about
Night-san is very clever, isnt he? Its as if he knows what Im saying
Woof?
Im not sure how it actually is, but Night is pretty smart. This child is capable.
While Kaori was playing with Night for a while, I noticed that people around us were looking at us.
What, thats!
A good-looking man and a cute doggie are precious enough
There you go, a set with a dog and a beautiful girl! The dazzling light will crush your eyes!
UhmKaori, were getting a lot of attention somehow, so why dont we move around a bit?
Huh? Ah, youre right.
Just as I was about to move from the spot, someone called out to me again.
Yuuya-san?
Eh?
Surprised, I turned to the voice, and there she was, eyes wide open and frozen the popular model Miwa-san.
Mi-Miwa-san!? Why are you here?
UhmI actually live in this neighborhood, and I usually go for a walk at this time
Yuuya-san, the one over there
Kaoris voice reminded me that they were meeting for the first time, and I quickly introduced Miwa-san to her.
Uhm, this is Miwa-san, shes the model I took a photoshoot together in the shopping mall before. Miwa-san, this is my friend, Kaori, and my family, Night.
N-nice to know you
Woof!
While Kaori greeted her with a strangely tense state, Night barked so friendly as usual.
Kaori-san and Night-kun? Im Miwa, a model.
Miwa-san expressing an adult-like smile, and the people who had been watching us until now began to murmur even more.
H-hey Another beautiful woman has joined that handsome man and beautiful woman!?
Isnt that girl the model, Miwa?
Eh? No way? Are you serious?
Apparently, with Miwa-sans arrival, the people who had noticed Miwa-san began to gather. And Miwa-san seemed to notice it too; she just smiled bitterly.
Ahahaha It seems like we stand out a little too much Does Yuuya-san plan on walking around here in the future?
Eh? Ah, yes. Thats what Im going to do.
I will try to find other routes, but for a while, I will enjoy walking near this riverbank. Then, Miwa-san smiled softly at my words.
I thought it would be nice to see you again during the previous shoots, but Im happy to see it happen sooner than I thought. Besides, if youre going to walk around here, maybe well see each other again like this.
Ah Youre right.
Fufu, it will be more fun to go for a walk again. Well Its time for me to go. There are also more people here. Both Kaori-san and Night-kun, too, see you later
Oh, yes!
Woof!
Miwa-san said that and walked away. As we were seeing her off, Kaori asked with a subtle expression on her face.
Um Yuuya-san.
Hmm?
Yuuya-san Uhm Are you going out with Miwa-san?
Eh? No, no, no, were not! Like I said before, Miwa-san and I just happened to be together in the photoshoot, and I do not match for Miwa-san in the first place.
It cant be
Eh?
Oh! N-no, its nothing
Im not sure, but if Kaori says so, its probably nothing. It was when we tried to move while tiling my head at Kaoris reaction.
T-thief, a thief!!
Eh?
I heard what sounded like a scream, and as I glanced in the direction of the voice, I saw an older woman fall to the ground, desperately reaching for her hand. At the end of her hand, a man in a black jersey was running away at a tremendous rate.
A-a thief what should we do!?
While the suddenness of the situation flustered Kaori, I quickly gave instructions to Night.
Night! Go after that man!
Woof!
With one bark, Night rushed from the spot at an alarming speed.
N-Night-chan!?
Kaori was surprised at his speed, but I rushed up to the old lady with the surprised Kaori.
Are you all right?
Y-yes. Im fine but my bag
I told the old lady who floated a sad look on her face in the gentlest voice as possible.
Its okay. Oba-sans bag must be oh, look!
Eh?
As I pointed, the thief was being dragged along by Night.
H-help me! Whats up with this dog?
Woof.
To the Night who slowly dragged the man who was twice as big as himself, Kaori and the old lady looked at the scene in disbelief.
Kaori, can you call the police?
Oh Y-yes!
It was when Kaori took out her smartphone from her bag and went to call the police. The moment Night released the restraints and completed his mission by bringing the thief to me, the man stood up with enthusiasm and lunged at me.
You dont fuck with me!
Hyii!?
Yuuya-san!?
Moreover, the man has a knife and tries to stab me with it. But in the other world, where Ive dealt with attacks of outrageous speed, Im not impatient, grab the wrist of the mans knife-wielding hand, twist it straight outward, and the man drops the knife with a pain.
I-i-its hurt!
Phew!
Not wanting to miss the opportunity, I swatted the mans legs away and immediately restrained him in place, pinning his hands behind his back where he had fallen.
Fuh
Ooh!
Eh?
I was surprised by the sudden rise in cheers and looked around, but before I knew it, people were clapping at me. As I was puzzled by the surroundings, Kaori comes running up to me hurriedly.
Yuuya-san, are you all right?
Eh? Yeah, Im fine.
Thank goodness I was worried, so please dont be too reckless!
S-sorry.
Surely my actions are dangerous from other peoples perspectives
While apologizing to Kaori, I complimented Night on catching the thief and returned the bag properly to the old lady. Afterward, Kaori handed over the thief to a police officer who had come due to Kaoris report, and Night was thanked by not only the old lady but also by the police.
