[Comprehensive] Die well, lie down every day

After I confirmed that nothing was missing, I closed the door and walked downstairs quietly. I was stretching relaxedly, and I felt something pushed my back.

"Huh?" As soon as I turned my head, I saw a large group of white fluffy things... No, to be precise, it should be the dog of the Sakata family. "It's called Ding..." I thought about the name I had heard by chance from Kagura before, "Dingchun, Dingchun, right?"

The white dog, which was bigger than an adult lion, barked twice, and flicked its tail happily.

I tentatively stretched out my hand, fearing that Dingchun would open his mouth to bite me, but I dared not put my hand on that hairy head.But the other party took the initiative to approach me, arching his head into my palm, squinting his eyes as if he was urging me to touch it quickly.

"What, it's not at all the same as what Mr. Yinshi said. You don't look like the kind of guy who would bite other people's heads and bleed blood." I put my heart down and gently stroked its fur. "Ah...it's only after three o'clock? If you want to go for a walk, it's better to wait for the one in the house. I still have a long way to go home."

"So, I'm going first?" I said this, and it made a slight whimper from its throat as if it understood it... It was really like a child whining when he was wronged.

He was lying on the ground looking at me, flicking his tail back and forth, and occasionally hitting me with his head, as if urging me to go back quickly.

... Mr. Yinshi's dog is completely different from its owner.Sure enough, there are still differences in the appearance of the main character.

While reminiscing about Dingchun's soft head, I stood by the platform and waited for the bus. "...Ha... Sure enough, there are no cars after three o'clock?" I glanced around, hesitating whether to walk back and try it myself.

Just then, a taxi suddenly stopped in front of me. "Hey miss, do you need help?"

"Mr. Lancer?!" I stared wide-eyed at the man wearing a pair of glasses and a white shirt. "Why does Mr. Lancer...? Work part-time?"

"Ah, to put it simply, that's it. Not long after I worked in a supermarket last time, the boss there said that I missed work halfway and fired me hahahaha." He smiled heartily, and he didn't feel any resentment at being fired.

"...This, that's it," I looked away from him guiltily, and tried not to think about the incident when I asked him to skip work at noon to help me move things in the supermarket.

With one hand on the side of the car window, he tilted his head and pointed to the back seat at me. "It's always cold standing outside, isn't it? I'll take the lady back. Ah... that's right."

I looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't feel sorry for calling me over to help last time. It's an honor to serve Miss."

I blushed at what he said, lowered my head and covered my face and sat in the back seat of the taxi, "...Sorry."

He laughed and talked to me while driving. "Didn't you say that you don't need to apologize. Ha, I said miss, you must be drinking, right?" He turned his head and glanced at me slightly, "It's better for girls not to drink too much alcohol?"

I lowered my head and smelled the smell of alcohol on the sleeves of my kimono, feeling a little hot in my ears. "It happened for a reason, Mr. Lancer." I justified myself, and then I sat in my seat stiffly, not daring to move.

The other party didn't say anything educational, but laughed and said, "I'm not blaming Ms. Mayu for drinking. It's just that alcohol is something that can be done within one's ability. Anything that is too much will lose its original taste. The same goes for wine. Well, although I want to have a drink with the young lady, but the young lady has not yet reached the legal age for drinking alcohol in this country? ...Although I personally don't care about these regulations."

"...Uh, um. It's good to have a good drink, I think too. No, but soon! Two or three years?" I stumbled and said this sentence, but I thought in my heart that I had already crossed that limit It's been more than three years.

"Oh? Oh, if Miss has the same thoughts, it's worth waiting." He almost said this with a smile, and there was also anticipation in his words.

I was a little confused about where his expectations came from, so after hesitating for a while, I decided to ask. "Excuse me... is this something you're looking forward to?" Although I have experienced that kind of anticipation and someone's mood, but generally this kind of mood is only for people who have thoughts about it.For example, parents or lovers, or people you want to make friends with or people who are beneficial to you.

Unfortunately, I don't think I belong to any of them.

"Huh? Isn't this a natural thing? Because the invitation of a good woman is always worth looking forward to." His voice containing the air reached my ears, "Although I want to get serious now, but now It’s better to wait slowly, after all. After all, waiting sometimes has a special flavor, especially if the object is a good woman like Mayu-san.”

Even though I can only see his rare dark red eyes through the central rearview mirror from here, I can still guess from those eyes that this man must be showing the same hearty smile as usual.

"Although, although! I don't quite understand what Mr. Lancer means by being serious, but after a while I can have a drink with Mr. Lancer! Well..." I replied in a low voice with a blushing face.

"? The rule in this country is 20 years old?"

"It's fine in my opinion!" I retorted unwillingly, feeling like I was about to cry.

Obviously, I have crossed this boundary for a long time, and I even poured down those rough guys at the college graduation party before!Who knew that the girl Sasaki Mayu was so disappointing that she poured down a bottle before she could reach it.

"Oh, you really have your own opinion."

"...Hmm." I couldn't tell whether he was praising me or mocking me, so I kept staring at his dark red eyes on the central rearview mirror.

He seemed to notice that I was looking at him, rolled his eyes and said another sentence. "I'm praising you, miss. It's rare to see people who have independent opinions and dare to fight against the rigid things now."

No, I don't see any connection between drinking and fighting rigidity.

Speaking of which, looking into his eyes, I suddenly remembered the guy who carried me out of the Smile Tavern.I don't know if Mr. Yinshi got up and went for a walk with Dingchun. "Well, what is Mr. Lancer's opinion on dogs...?" Although I had communicated with Dingchun for a while before, I suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to raise a dog.

The Sasaki house is so big and I live alone, and I recently heard from some neighbors that there seem to be thieves or voyeurs near my house, and the environment has become a little unsafe.So in this situation, I really want to raise a dog to take care of the home or something, and I can also tease the dog in my free time.

"Dog? Ha, what about that delicate creature to me." He gave a rare wry smile, "What's the matter? Miss Mayu wants to raise a hunting dog?"

I groaned and quickly explained. "It's not the hunting dog type. Well, how should I put it, compared to ornamental or pets, I probably only want a dog that is very obedient and can also watch the house....Oh, such an explanation seems more difficult to understand It's gone." I had a bitter face, and because of the drowsy energy of drinking before, I could only lean my head on the backrest.

"So that's it. I get it roughly. If you don't mind, I can help you with that."

I tried my best to sit up straight, but the exhaustion came up all of a sudden and I could only lie there on my back. "I'm fine! I'd rather say I'm grateful for your willingness to help me."

He seemed to slow down the speed of the car a little, and said to me in a calm tone: "Then Miss will come to see me again in a few days? For now, I'd better take a good rest, and I will wake Miss up when I arrive at the place. Otherwise If so, Miss can tell me the specific address, and I can also send Miss home directly?"

"That won't be a problem...thank you..." I drowsily held on to the last bit of consciousness to thank the other party, and then fell asleep until the other party patted me awake, and I was still a little bit relieved.

Following Mr. Lancer's suggestion, I temporarily sat in the car to wake up, and after I was more awake, I got out of the car with my things, and thanked the other party again and said goodbye.

After watching the other party leave, I slowly walked in the direction of going home.

"Ah, it's already five o'clock...?" After I got home, I felt that my consciousness suddenly became blurred, but I took this as the influence of alcohol, so I didn't pay much attention to it. "Yeah, take a shower first? It's so troublesome." I murmured and threw my things aside.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, I didn't feel sober, on the contrary, I felt less and less refreshed.

I felt something was wrong in my heart, but my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, the buzzing sound of the text message representing the task brought me back to my senses, but when I took out the phone and swipe the screen with my fingers softly, I couldn't even read the words on the screen. "...Hmm, what a beautiful flower..." I muttered, wanting to take a closer look at the phone, but fell down like I couldn't control it.

The feeling of falling down suddenly was completely uncomfortable, and the only light in the whole field of vision was the bright light of the mobile phone screen, but after a while, this glimmer of light disappeared completely.
