161 – EP.31 As usual -1
A bench in a park surrounded by the warm sunlight and spring temperature.
I am sitting on it and relaxing in the sun.
It’s noisy outside with the ladies who went out with their pets, but the top of the bench was like a calm sea.
A stable place of your own.
I don’t mind at all if people around me look at me strangely as I sit on a bench on a weekday.
Because I’m no longer weak enough to care about other people’s eyes.
“Poppy, ask me!”
“King!”
A golden retriever and a young woman are playing with a Frisbee, a disc toy.
A person throws a discus into the sky, and a dog runs to retrieve it before it falls.
It was a game and exercise that companions with canine companion animals often did.
This is because it has the positive function of being able to play happily while being an appropriate exercise.
First of all…….
‘It’s so cute to see the dog wagging her tail for praise!’
A puppy wagging its tail and panting as if hungry for praise is so attractive that no one can hate it.
In fact, everyone else besides me was smiling heartily after seeing this scene.
If possible, everyone would run up to the puppy and stroke her fluffy-looking head.
But I know that shouldn’t be the case, so people other than my partner just look at me warmly.
“Now! Poppy, are you going one more time?”
“Wow!”
“Peck!”
A woman throwing a discus regardless of a strange voice in the middle of the conversation.
In response, the puppy quickly started running towards me, but there was an existence of such a puppy running in front of her.
A cute little girl with light green hair, estimated to be about 12 years old, her girl ran faster than her dog with her hands and feet on the ground.
Then she bounced high in her sky in a dynamic position and caught her disc in her mouth with a nice twist in her air.
If it was a dog, everyone would have applauded, saying it was a wonderful feat.
However, the fact that the young girl showed such an appearance made everyone panic.
And the girl ran to me with her disc in her mouth, so she put the disc in front of me and panted with joy.
“Yuu, praise me too! Stroke my hair!”
“Ah… ….”
A young girl who is not even a puppy behaves like a puppy in front of an adult man?
Even if an adult gentleman came, this would be a dangerous and harmful thing to say.
In fact, people around me started pouring out contemptuous glances toward me, and someone even took up their cell phone and tried to report it.
I said I didn’t pay attention to the eyes of the people around me anymore, but it seems that this is unreasonable.
Feeling that my stable place was no longer available, I stood up from the bench.
Then, carrying the girl’s body, who was smiling brightly in the sun, on her shoulder, she ran.
“Tiaaa!”
“Ahahahaha!”
I am in danger of dying socially, but the girl who tried to kill me is laughing excitedly.
I felt absurd, but I couldn’t hate the girl.
That’s right, this little girl is a fearsome divine beast dragon…… Because they are my precious pets.

“hahahaha! So what did i say? Didn’t I say that if you were going to go for a walk with Tia alone, you would have to wear a leash?”
A dark-haired woman looking at me with a smile on her eyes.
Her black hair, long enough to reach her waist, was beautifully flowing and beautiful, but inside she was infinitely black.
This woman is also my companion animal, and her true identity is a three-legged crow, a crow divine beast who foretells all future events.
“No, I have to give you common sense advice. Isn’t Tia already out of putting her leash on?”
“Isn’t it out for a child to act like a dog in front of people?”
“…… f*ck.”
“So from now on, keep an eye on Tia, or take someone else with you. Wouldn’t it be okay if I was by Corrado’s side?”
“Sure… ….”
“Besides, if you invite her to take her cor, she’ll be happy too.”
“Okay. I admit that I was short-sighted, and from now on I will do as you say. Please stop laughing.”
As I keep looking at Yata’s twitching lips, I keep thinking of Tia’s accident.
I want to shake off such a dark history and quickly forget it.
“But all the things that happen to Nang-gun are fun for me, right?”
“While I know everything through my foresight… ….”
“No matter how much I look into the future, I can only feel the liveliness of things that I can feel up close in this way.”
Yata reaches out to me and gently touches my cheek.
Then he smiled again, but this time it wasn’t a mockery, it was a smile that only genuinely happy people do.
Yata has seen countless futures through his foreknowledge.
Among them, there will be a future where there will be trivial happiness like now, but there will definitely be a future where everyone falls into despair.
Yata’s goal is to avoid such a future and head towards a future full of true happiness.
It was impossible for me to guess how many times I had heartaches in the process.
“Sorry, I didn’t think of you at all.”
“It’s okay. Rather, thank you for giving me absolute trust and following me.”
The touch is getting warmer and warmer.
The feeling that Yata’s happiness was being spread to me also gave me a faint smile.
“And my friend.”
“Huh?”
“Watch out for the back of your head.”
“What is that… ….”
The moment he was puzzled by Yata’s word of caution while tapping the back of his head with his finger.
f*ck-!
“heheheh?!”
“Yuu! Let’s play!”
A blunt impact hits the back of the head directly, and my thick scream is spit out through my vocal cords.
It was an accident where Tia flew towards me while we were playing and collided with the back of my head.
“Didn’t I tell you to be careful?”
“Joe, you should have told me sooner!”
“hahahahaha! You should have used the foresight you borrowed from me right away.”
“… ….”
This crow that scratches people is still a black bird.
Nevertheless, it was an existence I could not hate, my precious pet.

-Knock! Knock!
“Alice, can I come in for a while?”
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
I received permission from the room owner through a knock and carefully opened the door.
Then the prickling ears of the white rabbit came into my sight first.
“Welcome, boss.”
The next thing that caught my eye was her white hair, which was shining brilliantly in the sunlight coming through the window.
And it was a beautiful woman who greeted me with a faint smile.
“Excuse me.”
“Excuse me!”
“Welcome, Tia.”
Alice looked at Tia wearing it by my side and showed a slight regret.
I’ll have to come back to this place separately later.
She used to be the one she lived elsewhere, but now she lives with us in our house.
In other words, I could meet Alice at any time within a few steps from my room without having to go far.
“By the way, boss, why are you here?”
“I want to play!”
“…… As you can see, Tia keeps asking me to play with her, so she came here because she was acting like a child.”
“Are you here to play games with me?”
“Let’s go!”
“Okay. Just in time, a new two-player fighting game came out.”
“Kiyo Oh!”
The young dragon let out a cheer of joy and then escaped from my side and went into the room.
So I shook my head, saying that I couldn’t stop it, and the native person in front of me cautiously let out a laugh.
Not only the color of his hair, but also his heart, was completely different from a crow who laughed openly and spitefully.
“Do not stand in front of the door, boss, come inside.”
“Oh, yes.”
After receiving the rabbit’s warm guidance and entering the room, Tia was already finishing the game settings.
Was she bored that much?
It seems like you’ve been playing around since morning…….
“Rabbit, let’s play!”
“Yes.”
Anyway, these two sat down in front of the TV with the console connected and started playing with the joystick.
I sat on the edge of the bed behind me and watched them both.
Tia is passionately tapping the button and Alice is calmly pulling the stick.
Due to the difference in the number of unnecessary moves, the winner and the loser of the game were divided.
“Oooh… !”
She applied for revenge dozens of times to fight Alice against Tia, but unfortunately she couldn’t win even one game.
It was a rather refreshing sight for me, as the anger began to show on his face.
A rabbit at the highest level overwhelmingly defeating a dragon.
Isn’t this a fun scene?
“Ugh! The rabbit is too strong!”
“I’ve been playing a little since the game came out.”
The difference between those who are familiar with the game and those who are new to the game today. Of course, it is a structure that beginners can only lose.
Because the genre is a fighting game, the difference was obvious.
At least today, you won’t be able to see Tia win.
Of course, Tia could win if Alice took care of it, but since both of them are true gamers, they don’t tolerate the act of one of them taking care of it.
“Tia, you might want to join me after you get used to the game a bit more.”
“Umm, then someone who will deal with me instead of a rabbit… ….”
Tia turns her head back and looks at me.
She had chicken skin all over her body from the eyes of a predator that said it had found its prey.
For some reason, I thought I shouldn’t be here, so I jumped out of bed and tried to run away.
Before I could, Tia, whose eyes were shining, grabbed me and cornered me.
“Hee hee! You can’t pass!”
