Chapter 70
Rufus firmly shot back. Edstan didn’t back down either.
“What’s so great about being biologically a male dog that you’re showing off?! I’m not just a male dog like you, I’m Master’s horny male dog!”
“I got horny too!”
“I’m always, 24/7, in heat!”
“I’ll be in heat soon too! Then I’ll be 24/7!”
“Then you’re not in heat now, so yield!”
“I won’t! I’ll be in heat right now!”
……My goodness. What kind of otherworldly argument was this?
Heesu, listening to the argument with a dazed expression, put a hand to her forehead and groaned.
She couldn’t listen anymore. Heesu raised her palm and swiftly brought it down, separating the two. To the two men, who looked up at her in surprise as their view was suddenly obstructed, Heesu coldly said,
“Rufus, left. Worm, right.”
This wasn’t drawing a cease-fire line or anything, and Heesu had no idea why her feet were so important that she had to designate territories. But no other way to mediate came to mind. The priority was to quickly stop that embarrassing argument.
Sure enough, both sides strongly protested the sudden, unilateral cease-fire proposal.
“I don’t want to be near that lunatic!”
“Me neither! Why do I have to be near that beast!”
At their protests, Heesu’s lips twitched, and she clicked her tongue. And then she presented a new alternative.
“Then both of you get out.”
Hearing that alternative, Edstan immediately turned his back and squashed himself tightly against the sofa.
“Actually, I’ve always thought that only the right side was the path for me.”
Heesu was inwardly surprised by one side’s sudden change of stance, but she nodded without showing it.
“Good. That’s a good boy.”
“Aww……. I want to hear something else besides ‘good boy’…….”
“Okay. You dirty-natured worm.”
“Haaah~~”
Edstan covered his cheeks with his hands and exhaled ecstatically. Seeing him give up quickly and become happy quickly, it seemed his situational awareness and adaptability were also at a worm-like level.
Rufus, whose situational awareness was a bit slower than Edstan’s, saw the scene and belatedly turned his back as if realizing something, then hugged his knees.
“I’ll… I’ll be good too!”
“Okay. Very good.”
At Heesu’s soulless praise, Rufus, with his face buried between his knees, chuckled happily. That look alone seemed cute, so Heesu looked down at him with an ambiguous smile.
It was obvious, but perhaps because he was biologically a male dog, when the two were placed side by side, Rufus definitely looked much more like a puppy and was cuter.
Heesu unconsciously reached out her hand and stroked his head. Today, Rufus truly felt like a puppy. The soft texture of his silvery hair felt pleasant to her hand. Perhaps it was her imagination, but she felt like she was seeing perked-up wolf ears between his hairs. When her hand brushed past his ear, she even felt the unique soft texture of animal fur. Very vividly.
“Gah! Again……. It’s not a delusion again?!”
Heesu was so surprised she shrieked and shot up. It was a vivid sensation that she could never dismiss as mere delusion. At that, Rufus, who was also startled and looking up at Heesu, had his ears perk up again on top of his head.
“Master…… what’s wrong?”
Heesu, in shock, pointed a finger at him and shouted,
“Your ears! You grew ears! Wolf ears!”
“Huh?”
Rufus, with a puzzled expression, raised a hand to his head and touched his ears.
“Oh, it’s real…….”
“You didn’t even know?!”
“They weren’t there this morning…….”
“Why did they suddenly appear?!”
“Maybe because I was trying to go into heat earlier…….”
“That happens when you try?! No, why do you grow ears when you go into heat?”
Heesu, expressing her horror and confusion, and Rufus, who had caused it but had no idea why, soon turned their heads towards someone. Indeed, at times like this, the only one who could explain the situation was him.
“Izzen! Why did this suddenly happen?!”
Izzen, who had been watching them since earlier, still wore the expression of a salaryman worn out by overtime, late nights, all-nighters, nagging bosses, and customer complaints. No, his expression was even darker than before. He looked like a salaryman whose boss’s nagging and customer complaints were happening right before his eyes. With such a face, Izzen opened his mouth.
