Yuki | Good morning. |
Hato | Morning, Rurikawa-kun. Oh? You look different. |
Yuki | I’ll be troubled if he keeps barking every time he sees me. |
Hato | Ah… Sorry for the trouble. |
| By the way, did you make that yourself? Down from the design? |
Yuki | Yep. It’s best to make the clothes you want to wear yourself. |
Hato | Oh… I see… |
Koro | Grrr… Woof woof! |
Yuki | I’ve already changed my style, yet he’s still like this. What’s the point, then? |
Hato | Ah, I think Koro has already considered you a girl. |
| F-For now, I’ll take him out for a walk so that he won’t be bothering your work! |
Koro | Woof! |
Hato | To tell you the truth, I hope you can get close to him and take him for a stroll. I’ll be helped that way. |
Yuki | I’m actually fine with that, but it’s not the case with Koro, right? |
Koro | Grrr! |
Hato | I know, right… |
| Errr, his leash… |
Koro | Arf! Arf! |
Hato | I got it. I got it. Wait a minute–. |
| *phone buzzes* |
| Oops. A call. |
| –Crap. I have to head out soon. |
Yuki | What’s wrong? |
Hato | I forgot I have a meeting after this! |
| I’ll be back in two hours. Until then, you can use this place as much as you like. Please watch over this place for me! |
Yuki | Got it. |
| (I’m pretty much free now. Let’s use this time to think about the play…) |
Koro | Yip… |
Yuki | … |
Koro | Arf… |
Yuki | Hey, wanna play with this toy? |
Koro | Arf… |
Yuki | …Guess I’ve got no choice, then. |
| |
|
Koro | Woof! |
Yuki | So anyone is fine as long as you can go out? You sure are selfish. |
| Oh, well. Your owner already gave you permission, so stroll as much as you want. |
Koro | Ruff! |
Yuki | (This park sure is spacious, huh… Looks like I’ll be walking around a lot, so I guess I’ve made the right choice by wearing this comfy outfit.) |
| …Oh. They have a dog space over there. Let’s go there. |
|
Yuki | You can run as much as you want here. And go make some friends. |
Koro | … |
Yuki | What’s wrong? You can move around without a leash here. |
Koro | … |
Yuki | Are you scared? |
Koro | Yip… |
Yuki | Oh, well. Let’s go somewhere else. |
Muku | …Huh? Yuki-kun? |
Yuki | Muku? |
Muku | Is this puppy the one you told me about before? So cute…! |
Koro | Woof! |
Yuki | I knew it. He’s fine with you. |
Muku | Good boy. Good boy. |
Yuki | Why are you here, though? |
Muku | There was a college track and field meet at a nearby arena. I came to watch it. |
| Then, on my way home, I heard some dogs barking. It made me wonder if Rento-san had finished collecting all the needed sounds. |
Yuki | Now that you mention it, he was asked to do that, right? I totally forgot about it. |
| If you’re here to watch a track meet, that means you’re gonna do track and field at university? |
Muku | Uhh, I’m still not sure about that… |
Koro | Woof woof! |
Muku | Huh? A ball? |
Girl A | I’m sorry! |
Girl B | Whoa, a puppy! |
Girl A | So cute! |
Koro | Woof! |
Yuki | So he’s fine with little girls? I don’t understand what kind of person he considers female… |
Muku | Ahaha. |
Girl A | Oh! That hat is really cute! |
Girl B | It has ears attached to it! |
Yuki | Thanks. Happy to know you like it. |
Muku | Here you go, your ball. |
Girl A | Thank you! |
Girl B | Bye bye, puppy! |
Koro | Woof! |
Muku | Did you also make that hat yourself, Yuki-kun? |
Yuki | Yeah, when I was a kid. |
| I wanted an ears-attached hat at that time, but I couldn’t find something that was perfect for me. So, I made it myself. It was my first time. |
Muku | So this is your first handmade hat?! It’s really well-made! |
Yuki | It’s pretty messy if you take a good look at it, though. |
| I know I can make a better one now, but I feel attached to this. I like this. |
| But if I make a new one now, I guess I’ll make it pink. |
Muku | A pink knitted hat is also cute. You can just have another one in a different color. |
Yuki | Oh, you have a point. |
