“Wow…!”

Ashe flinched in surprise, because a gift package with a ribbon suddenly fell from the air.

In addition, a photo of Maid B’s face that had been charred fell out of the leather pouch on its own.

[A bad photo turns into a hunting dog’s memory.]

As soon as the message was printed, the picture, which was the size of a palm, gradually grew larger and spread out on the floor like a carpet.

Moreover, there was a change in the photograph itself. The maid and the hunting dog were nowhere to be seen, and only the garden landscape was depicted.

“What is this, butler?”

“Are you curious?”

“You’re asking the obvious.”

The butler’s eyes scanned the air, reading something that Asher couldn’t see.

Ashe, who was becoming impatient, urged the butler.

“So what is it?”

“If you are curious, please check it out yourself.”

Bam.

The butler pushed Asher’s back in the direction of the photo.

“Ugh… Whoaaah!?”

Asher lost her balance due to the sudden attack. She instinctively stepped into the scenery of the photo.

At that moment, Asher was shocked.

Because rather than my feet hitting the solid ground, they sank as if they had stepped into a lake.

“Butler aaah! Nainooohhh!?”

Asher’s new form gradually moved away. Her graceful beauty was immersed in the garden scenery, and the echo of her loud screams completely died down.

Now, in the quiet break room, only the butler was waiting for Odokani Ashe’s return.

“This is getting difficult.”

The butler recalled the time when he was in a chase with the hunting dogs.

The experience of encountering an unknown being while running away with Maid A’s dress tied up is vividly remembered.

“… Seriously, I’m in trouble.”

◇

‘Ugh!’

Asher regained consciousness. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to curse the butler in his head.

‘That damn butler…! What are you doing to my master!’

I can’t hit him directly, but I have to give him a good scolding. With that stream of consciousness, Ashe, who was trying to look around, became stiff.

‘My body… isn’t listening to me?’

And that’s not all.

The field of vision was strangely low, and dim light entered the narrow, shaded space.

Rustle, rustle!

A human presence approached from outside. Then, as if it were an unconditional reflex, this body immediately got up.

Wow!

The body moved automatically towards the light.

“Wow!”

The sound of a beast flying out of its mouth. It was a tone from which all human dignity had evaporated.

Only then did I realize it.

The darkness that had been there until just now was the doghouse, and now it was the garden outside.

It would be great if there was nothing to add there.

What was most difficult for Asher to endure was that he was becoming increasingly emotionally attached to the hunting dog.

“Heh, heh… Woof!”

The tail sways like a storm. It stands on its hind legs and shows off its skills by waving its front legs.

My body, out of control, barked cheerfully as if it was longing for affection.

“Wow!”

The hound’s thoughts creep into his consciousness.

Oh my, that feels good! Crazy.

◇

Ding! Ding!

The hunting dog, running without a leash, was squirming in front of the hem of the maid’s uniform.

Does he stand up on both feet and try to grab your hand, or does he jump up vigorously and try to lick his lips?

For Asher, who was born and raised as an orphaned member of the royal family, every moment was a continuous series of humiliations.

“Hey, Hailey. If you do this all of a sudden, people will be surprised. What the heck, what the heck.”

She held out her palm with the intention of calming him down, but the hound – Hailey – deliberately placed her head on his palm eagerly.

‘Are you patting me? Pat me! Belle’s hand, I like it!’

‘Bell’s hand, I like it… No, no…! Why do I like it?!’

Asher shudders at the emotions that are being conveyed in the same way.

It was only after she had been overcome with self-loathing for a while that she realized that Hayley had called the maid in front of her Belle.

‘This person… is Maid B?’

But I couldn’t see the face. The facial features were still in place, but it was blurry, like a blurred memory.

That’s a person who is hard to even meet face to face with. She’s just a maid.

As Asher was venting his anger, an intruder appeared from outside the wall of bushes that had been built like a maze.

Asher sensed that Hayley was not pleased with the intruder.

“Krrrr… Krrrr!”

“Haley! You can’t bark at people.”

“Kkiing…”

It’s sad.

It’s all for Belle’s sake, but if you scold her, she becomes discouraged.

I hate that person. I hate that person so much.

Without knowing my feelings, Belle smiles at him just like everyone else.

“How are you? Have you adjusted to the mansion?”

“…”

“Looks like you did it roughly!”

Bell jumps to conclusions on his own.

Even my serious my-pace is my lovable friend and master.

“You’re now part of our family, so we should greet each other and get along.”

Belle knelt down on one knee, got down to an appropriate eye level, and gently stroked Hailey’s hair.

“Hello. This child is our mansion’s cutie, Hailey. She’s female, so don’t be rude. ”

“…”

“Boom! Woof woof!”

The two were so mismatched that it was mind-boggling.

Belle sighed, perhaps it was too much to handle these two problem children.

“Haa, why is Hailey like this today? What should I do about it…”

Bell thought for a moment, then clapped his hands.

“Haley, sit down!”

“Kkiing?”

I had a bad feeling and stepped back. Then Belle opened her eyes wide and patted my butt.

The pressure is so heavy that I’m forced to sit down…

“Right, right… Shall we sit down?”

“Kkiing, kkiing…”

Belle smiled with satisfaction. Then she started to rummage through the things in her pockets.

“I was originally going to give it to you… but I can’t help it for the sake of you two.”

She proudly shows off one of her items.

It was a blue scarf featuring luxurious fabric.

“Would you like to decorate it?”

“…”

The man nonverbally rejected the scarf that Belle offered.

You just shook your head without answering. And how dare you ignore Belle’s offer.

I hate that person!

But I’m glad I declined!

“… Are you shy around dogs?”

At this point, Bell also burst into laughter as if he had lost his sense of humor.

“What can I do? This kid likes me the most.”

Hmm, uh-huh, uh-huh.

The bell hums.

Everything Belle does is great, but her humming is terrible! She sings so poorly that her wagging tail stops…

Still, I’m glad the work was finished quickly.

“Yeah, it’s pretty!”

“Wow!”

thank you!

I wanted a leash, but a bell makes a much nicer gift.

It’s blue, soft, and pretty. It’s like a cloud from a clear sky is wrapped around my neck.

“Heh, heh…”

“Ahaha, Hailey! Ticklish!”

He is so happy that he keeps licking Belle’s cheek.

I’m really… happy.

I don’t want to lose it for the rest of my life. I don’t want to take it off. I love the precious happiness that Belle gave me.

“Woof, woof!”

Bell, I will protect you.

Belle will find a suitable male and protect him until he gives birth.

When Belle becomes a grandmother, she will protect her puppies until they grow up.

Because Belle gave a gift!

“Woohoohoo, she’s cute. Isn’t she? Try petting her. Our Hailey doesn’t bite.”

“…”

I’m going to ask!

I hate that even if it’s a bell!

“Krrrrung…”

I shift my center of gravity all the way back and bar my fangs. Then the thing hesitates and takes a step back.

It should have been like that a long time ago.

But, to my dismay, a thunderous roar came.

“Hey! Hailey!”

“Kkiing…”

Lie flat on your stomach on purpose and look up.

It was only very recently that I learned that this worked.

“Ugh…”

As expected, Belle’s hands trembled with a face full of agony.

“Ahaha, you’re so cute I can’t scold you…! Instead, I’ll punish you by tickling your belly a lot!”

Pavabavabat!

A bell that semi-forcibly turns the boat over.

Hailey was happy to go along with the rhythm.

“This guy, this guy…!”

“Heh, heh, heh…”

Indeed, Bell’s hand was the hand of a god. What god was it? The god of teasing!

Every time I rub my stomach and brush my hair, I feel like my soul is ascending to heaven.

‘Heh, heuheuuk…’

… The problem is that Ashedo shares the exact same feelings and emotions.

‘T, this… is… good… no… no…! Huh… ahhh…’

What is this? What the heck?

Is this what dogs always live for?

Was this the reason it was friendly to humans…?

“Ahaha… I’m sorry. I brought you here, but somehow I ended up leaving you behind…”

“Wahh …

Haley reacts immediately to Belle’s apology.

Why? Why does Belle look so sad?

I hate it. So you should hate Belle too.

Even the bell knows.

Even though I heard it myself.

I don’t know much about human language, but somehow I figured it out.

Well…

[That guy came to kill Bell!]

‘… what?’

Asher’s consciousness, which had been drenched in pleasure, suddenly awakened.

Then, somehow, he tried to turn his head and witness Bell’s conversation partner.

But this was in the realm of the impossible.

Haley didn’t even want to look at his face, so she just kept looking at Bell and the surrounding scenery.

‘Damn it…! What kind of horrible person must you be to be abandoned by a dog?!’

You must watch this at this time.

Intuition and intuition are unnecessary. My accumulated knowledge and experience were telling me.

The person standing behind the bell will be the one standing at the end of all causality.

In the fall of any power, the source of the rift is very trivial.

It was the same principle as a small leak spreading and causing a dam to collapse.

‘This…! You’re like a useless hunting dog!’

Unfortunately, Haley didn’t look past Belle’s back until the end.

The world gradually became blurred.

The light and sound disappeared, and the whole place went dark. Then, as my consciousness began to dizzy, I tightly shut my eyes.

“Ugh…”

The next moment I opened my eyes, the light of the world had returned.

Somehow the ceiling felt close.

“Uh… Huh?”

In the midst of my confusion, I stretched out my hand and saw not the ceiling but the butler’s palm.

The intention was to create a shade to block out the light from the chandelier, but Asher had one important goal in mind at the time.

A learned instinct pulled at the butler’s hand. Then Asher placed the butler’s palm on his head and gently stroked it himself.

“Hehehe…”

…

……

[This is an indestructible object.]

… There were about 5 seconds left until the message was printed.
