With the golden light, the second card appeared in front of Hualichun's eyes—it really was another reminder card!

[Tip: When you gather all the wild dogs in the back alley of Osamu Dazai and Sanchome Family Restaurant, and have more than two sets of office equipment, there is a certain chance of attracting new wild dogs who are eager to get organized]

Hualichun "huo" stood up.

——Is it because the Hoshinosha has been expanded a lot in one go, so the number of wild dogs that can be accommodated has suddenly increased?This is the first time that two hint cards have been drawn in one go!

But the cue on the second cue card is obviously necessary to get the mom mentioned on the first cue card.So the most important thing now - of course, is to pick up my mother!

Otherwise, you might miss two Bungou Stray Dogs at once!

Thinking of this, Hualichun hurriedly found a box, put the curry rice he had drawn into it in a hurry, put on his schoolbag, and ran out of Hoshinosha.

The door of Hoshinosha's small building slammed shut.Then, a sand-colored dog's head protruded from the door leading to the backyard.

Dazai Inu stared at the closed door, silently thinking about something: "..."

……

"Fortunately, we arrived in time..."

At the door of the family restaurant in Sanchome, Hualijun bent down, panting heavily while supporting her knees, and muttered to herself, "Also, almost, 5 minutes..."

Baked by the scorching sun, the cement floor even emits a faint heat.At the entrance of the family restaurant, there is a kanban with attractive pictures of cold drinks printed on it.Hualichun glanced at the Kanban with some excitement, but resolutely went around to the alley behind.

With only 5 minutes left, what's a cold drink compared to the possible Bungo Stray Dogs?

After entering the shady alley, the hot feeling finally subsided a little.Hualichun didn't even have time to wipe off the sweat, so she carefully took out the dish of curry rice from the box, and placed it in the middle of an empty alley.

Afterwards, she confirmed that there was no one in the alley at this time, and she was worried that the wild dogs would not dare to approach her by staying next to the curry rice, so she retreated all the way and hid behind the large trash can next to the back door of the family restaurant.

Time passed minute by minute.Hualichun used the cover of the trash can to stare at the curry rice in the middle of the alley, with piercing eyes.

I don't know how long I waited, but finally, there was a sound of breathing in the depths of the alley.In the shadows cast by the buildings on both sides, a shadow about one meter high gradually appeared.

When the shadow gradually came to the bright place, Hualichun finally saw it clearly - it was a large long-haired dog with a brown-red coat color!

Hualichun immediately cheered up: Is this the mother who reminded Kari?

The large brown-red dog looks tall with shoulders and long legs, but its body is too thin, and its long hair is also messy and tangled. It seems that it is indeed a wild dog that eats and sleeps, but it is in good spirits.

He seemed to be headed for the trash can at first, perhaps the large trash can that the family restaurant uses to dispose of discarded food was his foraging ground.But this time, he seemed to have noticed the curry rice in the middle of the road.

The large dog approached the overly clean curry rice step by step, the tip of its nose twitched cautiously, as if confirming the smell of the curry rice.

Finally, he tentatively walked to the side of the curry rice, sniffed it with his nose, then stuck out his tongue and licked the curry on the edge, as if to confirm whether the suspicious rice was safe.

There was a sound of "gurgling" from the large dog's belly - obviously he was already hungry, and his appetite was also aroused by the curry rice.

Seeing that the big dogs were indeed attracted by the curry rice, Hualichun, who was hiding behind the trash can, was slightly relieved, and then got ready.

After the big brown-red dog finished eating the curry rice, she went out from behind the trash can, trying to get the big dog to follow her back to Hoshinosha.

However, to Hualichun's surprise, after confirming the safety of the curry rice, the large brown-red dog did not eat the curry rice directly, but suddenly picked up the plate, turned and walked towards the depths of the alley.

His tail flicked behind him, as if he was in a good mood because of the curry rice that fell from the sky.

It wasn't until the big dog gradually walked away that a purple-haired head with a serious expression and curiosity was poked out from behind the trash can: "..."

Hualichun noticed a fact.

Thought the new wild dog was a mother, but it seems to be a male dog.

Hualichun came out from behind the large trash can curiously, tiptoed, and followed the direction the large dog left.

She cautiously followed the big brown-red dog all the way from a distance, turning and turning, walking deeper and deeper, and suddenly heard a series of hasty and immature puppy barks.

The pace of the big dog in front couldn't help but a little faster.There was the sound of the meat pad hitting the ground, followed by the sound of the plate being gently placed on the ground, and the barking of the puppy.

Hualichun's heart beat faster and faster.She stood at the corner and quickly peeked in.

In the deepest part of the alley, there is a small nest piled up with old clothes, torn cotton pads and other things. It should be stored up by a large brown-red dog. It really deserves to be a careful male mother.

And there are five puppies with different coat colors moving in the small nest.

The puppies are jostling and jumping out of the nest, probably because of the smell of curry rice.Although the large brown-red dog was so hungry that it barked just now, it didn't touch the curry rice at all. Instead, it patiently lay down in front of the nest and watched over the puppies to eat.

After Hualichun saw this scene clearly, she quickly retracted her head, suppressing her rapid breathing.

——It’s really mom!It's a male mother!

At that moment, she noticed it.

The litter of puppies guarded by the big brown-red dog is of various colors and breeds.This is absolutely impossible to be the same litter of puppies, let alone the children of the big brown dog.

Such a small puppy did not follow the big dog, and was probably abandoned.Just like she herself was when she was a child.

So, did the big reddish-brown dogs spontaneously adopt these puppies?

At that moment, Hualichun didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little envious of the litter of puppies.

If she was adopted by a gentle person at such a young age...

——No, she doesn't need to envy others.

Although she was not adopted when she was a child, she met the same gentle Zaomen family.Kamado Tanjiro and the others treated her as if they were real relatives.

And now, she also got the Hoshino Club founded by her parents.

I am already happy enough.So, now, she wants to share her happiness with other people who are not so happy.

After taking a deep breath, Hualichun walked out cautiously.

The puppies happily licked and ate the curry rice, without paying any attention to Hualichun's movements.And the big brown-red dog's ears suddenly pricked up, stood up, and looked back at her warily.

When facing a large dog head-on, Hualichun finally felt the deterrent power of the other party, which was different from that of small and medium-sized dogs.Even though she was so thin that her ribs were faintly visible, she was still sure that as long as the other party wanted to, he could knock her down to the ground.

"I have no malice." Knowing that the big brown-red dog is not an ordinary dog, Hualichun raised her hand in the way she treats people, and said seriously, "Although it is a bit abrupt, I came here to find you."

Hearing this, there was a trace of bewilderment and suspicion in the eyes of the big brown-red dog.

"Because I know that you are special." Hualichun was not hindered by the look in the big dog's eyes and continued, "At first, I didn't know why you were special, but after seeing these puppies, I Understood."

"These puppies are not your own children, right? But you protect them and raise them."

"So, I want to help you too."

Hualichun said softly: "Teacher, are you willing to end your wandering days and take the children with me?"

The large brown-red dog stood where it was, the vigilance in its eyes hadn't disappeared.However, at this time, the plate of curry rice behind him has long been eaten up by five hungry puppies, and even the plate has been licked clean.

The puppies ran up to the big red-brown dog and circled him, apparently not yet full.

The large brown-red dog had to withdraw its vigilant gaze, lowered its head and uttered two low whines at the puppies.Afterwards, he raised his head and looked at Hualichun again, this time with a bit of entanglement and helplessness in his gaze.

But after a while, the big brown-red dog still turned his head away from Hualichun's gaze.He showed his snow-white canines slightly, and made a low voice from his throat, as if warning her to leave quickly.

Has he been hurt and deceived in the past, and now he has become a distrustful, lonely wild dog?

In desperation, Hualichun had no choice but to take two steps back.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly ran into the family restaurant.

A few minutes later, Hualichun, who thought the large brown-red dog had run into a wall and left, ran over in a hurry, still holding a few lunch boxes.

"Please accept this." She put the lunch box on the ground and opened it.

The large dog has sharp eyes, and can tell at a glance that the food inside is bought in a family restaurant, including fish, meat and vegetables.In the past, he'd often found leftovers and expired ingredients thrown away by restaurants in the trash, but never had a hot, fresh version.

Smelling the scent of food, the puppies surrounded by the big dog's legs suddenly became more restless, looking in Hualichun's direction.

"I won't give up." Hualichun put down the lunch box, took a few steps back, finally looked at the big brown-red dog, and said firmly, "I will come again, until the teacher agrees to come with me!"

"I'll come tomorrow! The day after tomorrow too, and the day after tomorrow too!"

"..."

The big brown-red dog still turned its back to Hualichun, but the girl's announcement made his tail shake a few times involuntarily.

After a while, he turned around hesitantly, and saw that the alley was empty.

The purple-haired girl just now really left this time.

The puppies that hadn't filled their stomachs barked softly, but they didn't dare to take a step forward without the instruction of the big brown-red dog.

The food still smelled of the girl who brought it.That's the smell of kindness.

The large brown-red dog stepped forward cautiously, tasted a little of the food left by the girl, and only after confirming its safety, it let out two low "barks".

The long-awaited puppies suddenly swarmed up, buried their heads in happiness and started to eat.

Seeing the puppies devouring their food and showing their small milk teeth while chewing, the eyes of the big brown-red dog softened.He lowered his head and gently licked the fur on the puppy's head.

The nest was found, but this time, the large brown-red dog didn't try to move the nest immediately, but hesitated.

The girl said she would come again tomorrow.

When the time comes, will she bring some food that can fill the stomachs of the growing puppies?

It wasn't until the five puppies were full that he quickly disposed of the leftovers, and then took the puppies back to the den made of old clothes and tattered cotton pads, lay down on the edge of the den and closed it. Eye.

……

Failed to bring back the new dog teacher.

Although Hualijun, who returned to Hoshinosha, was a little disappointed, she did not intend to give up.

——Even if she wasn't a writer, she couldn't ignore such a dog.

He was obviously not his own child, but he took on the heavy responsibility of raising a litter of puppies without complaint.Such a dog teacher made her very concerned.

"Let's go there tomorrow with some food." Hualichun sat on the sofa and said to himself, "Fortunately, I already know where their nest is."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from behind the sofa, and a sand-colored dog walked out as if nothing had happened.

Dazai Gou stepped up and walked towards Hualichun.He jumped onto the sofa, leaned his fluffy head over, and sniffed Hualichun carefully.

"Hahaha, it's so itchy..."

Hualichun shivered suddenly from being itched, and raised her hand to push Dazai Dog's head.However, the usually lazy dog ​​raised his paw and pressed Hualichun's hand, the whole dog's head was almost squeezed into her arms.

It wasn't until he was sure of Hualichun's scent that Dazai Inu let go of his paw and took a thoughtful step back.

Just as he was about to turn around and jump off the sofa, a pair of devil-like hands suddenly stretched out from behind and pressed him on the sofa.

"I understand."

A girl's sullen voice (from Dazai's perspective) sounded from above.The sand-colored Gouzi froze, and Hualichun heard Hualichun continue to say: "Suddenly squeezed towards me... Teacher Dazai must want to play with me."

Seeing Hualichun sticking out the tip of her tongue, licking her lips like a big villain, and then raising her hands, Dazai Inu couldn't help but become even more stiff: "Woof?"

"Don't run away in embarrassment, come and play..."

The raised hand stretched out onto Dazai Inu's fluffy belly, and then ruaed violently along the fur.

"Hey, it's here, right!" Hualichun scratched the sand-colored dog's stomach excitedly, "I also noticed it when I gave Mrs. Akutagawa a favor last time. If you scratch this place, the dog will feel special. Comfortable!"

Dazai Inu struggled symbolically a few times, then lay flat with peace of mind, twisting and turning on the sofa.

"Is Teacher Dazai very comfortable?" Seeing this, Hualichun scratched even more vigorously, "Can I be a dog masseur now?"

——At the top of the stairs that neither Hualijun nor Dazai Inu noticed, there was a stunned little orange dog standing at the moment.

Witnessing this strange scene, Inu Nakaya let go of his mouth, and the car repair wrench that was in his mouth from the roof fell to the ground with a clang.

……

The sky gradually darkened.After a while, the sound of pattering rain gradually sounded outside.

The little tiger who was playing in the tree house hastily got down from the tree and ran back to the small building of Hoshino Club, shaking his head to shake off the scattered raindrops on his body.

"...It's raining."

Hualichun took out the towel and helped the little white tiger dry his body thoroughly.After putting away the towel, she walked to the window and stretched out her hand.

When the raindrops hit the palms, the image of a large brown-red dog and five puppies curled up in the alley involuntarily appeared in my mind.Hualichun couldn't help feeling a little worried.

But in my impression, a plastic bag was carefully placed under the den made by a large brown-red dog, and an old tarpaulin I found somewhere was blocked on the top, which should be able to prevent rain.

"it should be no problem……"

But soon, Hualichun couldn't sit still when he saw the raindrops getting bigger and bigger and the branches and leaves of the trees in the courtyard were shaken by the wind.

Such a wind might blow away the tarpaulin that was blocked.The same is true of rainwater. If it gathers together and submerges the plastic bag under it, it will not only soak the nest.If the puppies are soaked in the cold rainwater, they may not be able to survive this month if their physique is poor.

Thinking of this, Hualichun quickly grabbed the umbrella, put on rain boots on her feet, and said to the dogs in the room: "I'll go out first!"

The dogs looked puzzled as Hualichun put on her bag and opened the umbrella, and then ran out against the increasing rain outside.

However, just before Hualichun closed the door, a sand-colored shadow suddenly passed by, and rushed out with Hualichun from the crack of the door.

——The shadow that flew out like an arrow turned out to be Dazai Inu!
