I stood in front of the mirror and checked my appearance.

The pretty dress that Amy had prepared and the matching sky blue headband sparkled beautifully.

I puffed out my mouth when I saw that sight.

It was an immature appearance at all.

Where did the coat I usually enjoyed wearing disappear to?

Even if it actually existed, I wouldn’t be able to wear it with my current body.

I looked at Shine who was standing behind me.

“When will I grow up?”

“Well?”

“Well, that’s such an irresponsible answer.”

“But I really don’t know.”

I sighed at Shine’s answer.

I really wonder when I can go back.

Amy thought I looked better when I was smaller, but I still liked my bigger body.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes!”

I answered Amy’s question, grabbing the large dinosaur bag in the corner.

The dinosaur was full after packing snacks like chocolate, candy, cookies, and even beef jerky to give to Chuchu, whom he was seeing for the first time in a long time.

“Shall we go?”

I shook my head at the sight of Amy speaking to me with her arms outstretched.

I’m going to see my grandfather, but I can’t go there in Amy’s arms.

Amy nodded her head as if she was disappointed with my answer.

We leave headquarters and head to the castle in Amy’s car.

“Grandpa, you don’t remember those 7 years?”

“Yeah, I think so.”

I nodded to Amy’s answer and leaned my head against the window.

I thought it would be awkward to meet my grandfather, who had different memories of the seven years than I remembered.

I wiggled my fingers and closed my eyes.

The car, which had been driving on the road for a while, arrived at a large castle.

As if it were familiar, he passes through the main gate and heads to the underground garage.

I rolled down the window and looked into the garage.

“No!”

I shouted in horror.

does not exist.

All my fancy cars were gone.

“The past has changed.”

Amy patted my head as if it was nothing special.

I was in shock and couldn’t get up from my seat.

The cars I’ve been collecting have disappeared, which means all the dinosaur-shaped rocks and cool dinosaur pictures I’ve been collecting have disappeared too.

I hadn’t realized it because I hadn’t been able to leave headquarters, but this was a serious problem.

I kept my mouth shut.

Since my memories of the past seven years were different from my grandfather’s memories, I felt I had to be especially careful when talking to him.

After parking, Amy frowned and sighed as she walked up to the castle while talking on the phone.

It seemed like there was something he didn’t like.

I approached quietly and grabbed Amy’s hand.

“Mom. What’s wrong?”

“Grandpa isn’t home.”

“Huh?”

I opened my mouth wide at Amy’s answer.

I’m sure we had already discussed going there today, but my grandfather isn’t home.

What on earth is going on?

As I tilted my head and looked at Amy, she smiled slightly and tapped my cheek.

“I went out for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

“I see.”

My grandfather was a busy man, so he could completely understand.

It was at that moment that I nodded and started climbing the stairs.

A large object jumps down from the top of the stairs.

I twisted my body as if responding naturally to the movement.

What brushed past me was a very, very large ball of fur.

“Choo choo!”

Woof woof!

Chuchu jumped down the stairs, landed on the floor, straightened his tail, and shouted at me.

It seemed like he was greeting me happily, so I waved back happily.

It’s huge.

I used to be bigger, but now Chuchu has gotten bigger.

I cried again at the feeling of my shorter height.

Chuchu, who came towards me while wagging his tail, came straight to me.

“Hey, Mom! Is it okay if I go play with Chuchu?”

“Would you like that?”

“Yes!”

I shouted in excitement.

Because the good things about having a smaller body came to mind.

Chuchu, who had come closer, stuck his tongue out at me with an innocent face, as if he had no idea what I was trying to do.

A wet, long tongue licks her cheek.

I quickly wiped my cheek and hugged Chuchu’s nape.

Immediately after, he kicks the ground and hangs on to Chuchu’s back.

It was a perfect riding position.

Woof woof!

Chuchu shook his body wildly as if trying to get me off his back.

But I could never fall.

I closed my eyes tightly and put more strength into my hands.

How much time has passed like that?

Chuchu seemed to realize that I wasn’t heavy on his back, and became quiet.

Only then did I release the hand around my neck and sit up.

The person riding on Chuchu’s back was taller than me.

I looked up at Shine with a smile, at the heightened visibility.

“Sister, you can’t ride Chuchu because it’s heavy?”

As I laughed at Shine with a triumphant smile, she frowned and said,

“It’s not heavy.”

“You’re heavier than me.”

This was an indisputable fact.

Unable to refute my words, Shine trembled and then quickly stretched out her hand.

But my body was not caught in Shine’s hands.

Chuchu, who had been sitting, quickly moved and stepped back.

I looked at Shine’s appearance and said, licking my tongue.

“It’s so heavy I can’t hold it!”

Shine, who had been teased by me, sighed deeply and trembled.

But the long-awaited pursuit never came.

Instead of chasing me, Shine just folded her arms and shook her head.

I was rather offended by that sight.

Are you acting like an adult now because you’ve grown up a bit?

“Don’t play with your sister.”

I moved my hand and tapped Chuchu’s head.

Chuchu, who received my order, turned around and started running down the hallway.

Amy and Shine are seen walking away from the back.

I stuck out my tongue and turned my head away.

Chuchu ran down the hallway very excitedly, happy to see me.

This guy has been like this since long ago.

He was the kind of guy who would rather run with me on his back than play ball.

Chuchu, who had been running for a long time, eventually collapsed from exhaustion.

I also roll around next to Chuchu, who fell down in the hallway with a bang.

Chuchu, who was panting with his tongue out, shook his body excitedly as if he was still happy.

I sat on the floor in the hallway and put my hand into my bag.

Inside the large dinosaur, there was a lot of jerky that Chuchu would love.

I looked at Chuchu with my fist full of jerky.

The guy was already drooling and wagging his tail.

Lying down, that is.

Seeing that he didn’t seem to have any intention of getting up, I put my hands on his waist with a stern expression.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh. You have to wake up.”

bruise.

Chuchu didn’t wake up.

As if annoyed, he flicked his tongue and tapped my leg with his large front paw.

I frowned at the sight and stepped back.

That’s because those big legs were hitting my body hard, so I was swaying around.

I felt like I needed some solid education.

I got up from my seat and held out my hand in front of Chuchu.

I’m talking about hands full of jerky.

“Okay. Chuchu. Sit down.”

Chuchu didn’t wake up.

He lay down and opened his mouth wide as if asking for some jerky.

I sighed and threw him a small piece of jerky.

Still, it was a reward for running hard while carrying me.

“How is it? If you want to eat more of this, listen to me.”

Chuchu began to worry.

Is it because I tasted beef jerky?

The drool flowing from the guy’s mouth increased even more.

Sticky saliva drips down the hallway floor.

bruise!

In the end, Chuchu chose to get up.

“Good job!”

I think I read somewhere that if your dog is obeying you well, you should praise him/her generously.

I patted Chuchu’s head and placed the jerky on the floor.

Chuchu immediately put his head on the floor and started eating the jerky absentmindedly.

I gulped at the sight.

Why does it look so delicious?

As I listened to Chuchu’s slurping sound, I felt hungry.

I shook my head.

This jerky is for dogs, so I shouldn’t eat it.

Instead, I took out a small candy and popped it in my mouth.

The fragrant grape scent made me feel good, so I poured out all the jerky I had in my bag and threw it at Chuchu.

Chuchu barked happily and flicked his tongue on the floor.

As I was spending time with Chuchu, a message arrived from Amy.

The message was that my grandfather would be arriving home soon, so I should go back now.

I naturally climbed onto Chuchu’s back.

“Let’s go!”

Smart Chuchu understood what I said right away and started walking towards his grandfather’s office.

The speed at which I stretched out my long legs was faster than I could walk.

The biggest advantage of having a smaller body is that you can ride a Chuchu.

When I had a big body, I couldn’t ride Chuchu because I was afraid his waist would go out.

I looked at Chuchu with sad eyes.

Now that I’m back to my big body, I won’t be able to ride this guy.

When that time comes, I will have to carry you.

I nodded, playing with Chuchu’s big ears.

On my way to the office, I ran into my grandfather in the hallway.

Seeing that Amy and Shine weren’t around, it seemed like they had already gone to the office and were waiting.

“Jeff?”

The grandfather who found me opened his mouth with a look of disbelief.

As I tilted my head at his trembling eyes, my grandfather began to slowly approach me.

Why on earth are you doing that?

“Hello?”

I waved goodbye to my grandfather while sitting on Chuchu’s back.

As he got closer and closer, the grandfather stretched out both his arms and put his hands under my armpits.

My body floats up and my eyes meet my grandfather’s.

“Are you sure about Jeff?”

“Yes. It’s Jeff.”

I nodded in response to my grandfather’s words.

“Nothing has changed since 7 years ago…”

Only then did I understand why my grandfather acted like that.

It was clear that my grandfather had no idea how Shine and I had grown up, since he hadn’t seen us in seven years.

I made a sad face.

The reason I am small now is because of unspeakable circumstances.

My grandfather lifted me up and started checking various parts of my body.

After looking around for a while, the old man nodded and lowered me to the floor.

It seemed like he really liked my small appearance.

“Your sister hasn’t changed either?”

“No, my sister has grown up.”

After hearing my answer, my grandfather’s expression instantly turned gloomy.
