Part 2 Chapter.5 Lurin and the song

Woof!

A dog barked next to the man. The man just quietly petted the dog. There is absolutely no life in the man’s eyes. A beard that had not been shaved for several days occupied the man’s face.

“sorry.”

The man said that to the dog.

myself left alone. And the one left alone. The man truly thought that he wanted to live the rest of his life with this guy.

But I found out the truth.

The truth is such a cruel truth.

Deep and wide ripples were rippled in the heart of the man who had accepted everything and vowed to go down to the countryside and live quietly in honor of his daughter’s soul.

Now that I know everything, how can I remain silent as a father?

What bothers me is the dog in front of me that was suddenly taken away.

That was before I knew the truth.

So there is nothing we can do. The man started writing on a piece of stationery.

To some couple who might take care of this dog.

[(Strategy)… If this is not possible, I am enclosing some money, so I would really appreciate it if you could find someone else to take care of it. A labor fee is also included. Please accept it.]

The couple who were with us when we brought this dog.

The couple was the only person who would ask a final favor of their lives from a man who could not think of any other acquaintances.

The man looked up at the sky, briefly recalling his encounter with the dog.

***

Rurin was standing in front of the crosswalk. Cars were speeding along the road and the traffic lights were pointing red.

Lurin is standing calmly in front of the sidewalk because it is red.

It seemed that he had become somewhat accustomed to seeing traffic lights, which is one of the basic common sense in this world.

Of course, it must be said that even though Lurin didn’t like the idea of those things blocking her, she had no choice but to accept it because El’s nagging was so great.

When I first came to this world before getting married, I walked ignoring the cars, and thanks to that, a rare scene was created where the car that hit Rurin was smashed, but Rurin was fine.

The effect of El’s nagging to prevent such a thing from happening was so great that Lurin stood there staring at the red light.

“Anyway, the red one is not allowed.”

The color of the stop sign is red. Since it was the color she hated, Lurin grumbled as she thought of the red dragon.

At the same time, in my head, I thought it would be funny if other dragons were destroying the city and then stopped because of a red traffic light, and I laughed a little. Because that’s funny.

-licking.

Right then.

While Lulin was making a strange expression, going from angry to laughing due to anger about the red light and funny thoughts, a dog standing in front of the sidewalk started licking Lulin’s shoes.

While making some kind of groaning noise.

The green light that says to turn on does not turn on!

From Lurin’s perspective, she thought it was a dare to lick her shoes, so she tilted her head and glared at the dog.

“Why are you licking your shoes? Is it an oath of loyalty? “I don’t accept that.”

Kiing.

Then the dog sniffed, made a groaning sound again as if something was wrong, and turned its head to look at the road.

“What did you do! uh? changed. “I’ll look after you because I’m busy!”

At that moment, the long-awaited green light finally turned on. If she didn’t cross now, she would have to wait a while again, so Lurin started running.

The dog that was left behind continued to look at passing cars, people passing by, and people stopping in front of the crosswalk, and each time it did so, both ears stretched out and then flopped down.

***

On the way back after the date. A street at midnight.

A main road with an alley leading up to the residential area where Rurin and L live. The last crosswalk to cross.

Lulin and L were walking towards the house, holding each other’s hands tightly.

“Why do you stop when you have nothing? Does that red light have to stop even if there is no car? Annoying!”

Buaaaaaaaaaaaa!

L answered Lulin’s question by pointing to cars passing by at very high speeds.

“There are cars speeding like that in the early morning. Since you are here, you must follow the laws here. “Honey.”

“Well, since I have you now, it doesn’t really matter if the red light lasts forever. Hi-Hi.”

Rurin spun around while holding Elle’s hand, then poked Elle’s arm with her free hand and started playing with it like that. Because Lulin says it doesn’t matter if he’s trapped as long as he has El.

At the same time, Lurin happened to look across the room and slightly pursed her lips. Suddenly, what happened earlier came to mind, so he slowly lifted his shoe-clad foot toward El and spoke.

“you.”

“huh?”

“That guy licked my shoes earlier. He’s a strange guy. “They don’t accept oaths of loyalty.”

Lurin pointed exactly at the dog on the other side. El answered while taking a quick look at the dog.

“Shoes? Those dogs probably don’t know about the existence of dragons, so what does the oath of loyalty mean… . “It must be an expression of friendliness.”

“Hmm? Normally, I don’t even notice shoe licking. Because only you are allowed to lick it. uh? no! It’s not even licking, it’s licking. Only you can do that with words… . So, all the bare skin is only for you, huh? “When I think about it, that guy won’t work!”

Lulin was speaking well, but suddenly, on his own, he jumped in a strange direction, his eyes were filled with confusion, and he started to point at the dog again and huff and puff.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. What are you imagining all of a sudden? Dogs lick something. It’s their nature. If you don’t let them do that, they will use it. Now that the light has changed, let’s cross. “Honey.”

L grabbed the hand of Lulin, whose twirling eyes and ears were turning red for some reason, and dragged her across the crosswalk.

Then, he approached the dog that Lurin had talked about. Because I felt something was off.

If we say that we met when Lulin came out, quite a long time has already passed and it is now close to dawn.

But it was very strange to still be in the same place. Even if Rurin didn’t see it during the day, it’s strange that a dog would be sitting alone guarding the crosswalk at a time like this.

If I had seen it at the district office, I would have been taken away right away.

L thought like that and looked at the dog again. There was a leash around his neck. The collar is slightly damaged. When I looked closely, I saw that it was wearing a leash with only the owner’s information damaged.

Moreover, the dog’s appearance is not good. I thought it was a mixed breed, but it was about the size of a medium-sized dog. But it was very skinny.

It was clearly an abandoned dog. L sat down in front of the dog with a sad expression. It was also clear that it was a dog that lived with someone as it was not afraid of humans.

When the dog saw Lulin, it barked and came running. But soon, with a chirping sound, he dropped his ears again and trudged back to his original position. Then, perhaps because I was hungry, I lost strength, fell down, got up again, and started walking again.

L didn’t think it would work, so she told Rurin.

“Lurin, I’ll go to the convenience store over there. “I’m watching over you for a while.”

“What. What does that mean… … .”

“are you okay. Do you see that convenience store over there? “How pitiful it is that he fainted from hunger.”

“Because you’re hungry? Well, that’s definitely not good. “I feel sad when I’m hungry.”

Lurin crossed her arms and nodded. Meanwhile, L ran to the convenience store.

Lurin, who was alone, watched the back for a moment and then sat down in front of the dog.

“Are you hungry? That’s too bad. I’m not hungry because I have L. Oh, of course, sometimes I still feel hungry.”

Mmmmm.

Of course not.

As Lurin was nodding to herself, L. rushed over to buy bottled water and dog food. El, who sat down in front of the dog, held out the bottle of water to Lurin and put her hands together.

“Rurin, pour some water here.”

“There?”

Lulin looked like he was wondering what he was doing, but he started pouring water. When El brought the water in front of the dog, it made a yapping noise and raised its head. And then it starts licking the water.

“Oh eat. “You eat with your tongue?”

“I feel like I have no strength because I’m starving. “It feels abandoned.”

“Um, I’ll forgive you for licking my shoes, so cheer up.”

“Oh what’s going on? “A guy who ignores other monsters, animals, and insects as being almost equal?”

“I just told you to cheer up because you were the one who cared. “If you don’t care, I don’t care.”

As Rurin said that, she picked up the bottle of water again. Then he looked at El’s hand and said.

“Your hands!”

“huh? “Do you want me to feed you more?”

When L suddenly put her hands together, Lulin poured some bottled water into them again, lowered her head, stuck out her tongue, and started licking.

“no. Hehe, I’m going to try the same thing. Um, but it’s uncomfortable.”

Lurin, who had been sitting down, lowering her head and sticking out her tongue, raised her head with a sigh. My chin was covered in bottled water.

“Why have you experienced such a thing? “The tongue has a completely different purpose.”

El shook her head, shook off the bottled water in her hand, and petted the dog.

“Let’s take a look. It has ‘Dung’ written on the leash. “I think Dongyi is the name.”

The dog named Dong drank some water and got up again as if it had gained strength. And then I started staring at the road again like a dead stone. L, who saw that, began to explain with confidence.

“It looks like he abandoned it right here and drove away. This dog doesn’t go anywhere, but waits and waits, and seems to have reacted when it sees a similar person or car. Please tear off that food and feed it to me. If you decide to live together, you have to take care of him until the end. It was mean. really.”

At those words, Lulin opened the food and put his hand in it. Then he picked up a handful of food and handed it out to Dungee.

“Eat this.”

And he took one into his mouth.

“Tsk tsk!! “What is this?”

And he frowned. Of course, he spat out all the food he had chewed and purred while blowing on a bottle of water.

Of course, the dog started licking the food carefully. Lurin, seeing him eating well, tilted his head. It’s a face that says it doesn’t understand.

“Is that delicious? He’s like Kun. By the way, what you’re saying is that it’s like they brought the Luruns with them and then abandoned them again? Umm. That seems bad. Poor Lulun. No, Dongyi? What a strange name. “Now eat more!”

Rurin identified Lurun and the dogs as dogs and started picking up more dog food with a pitiful look on his face.

Right then.

“excuse me… .”

In the very situation where El and Lurin were sitting down together and the dog was licking the food, someone spoke and El turned her head. A man in his 50s was standing behind him.

“yes?”

When L answered, the man hesitated a little and then cautiously opened his mouth.

“Are you by any chance the dog’s original owner?”

“no. I saw it for the first time while walking down the street. Are you someone in charge of the shelter?”

“No, no. I watched him for several days. When I go to work, I get something to eat when I get home from work. I got off work late today… .”

Woof woof!

Dongi, who had been quiet, also seemed to recognize the man and walked up to the man’s shoes and spun around. Maybe it was a greeting, but after that he went back to his original position.
