A new way to die!
I'm awesome!
I sat up happily and tried to encourage myself to be happy, but I was still very sad.
Akuraba Of Goguryeo was dead, but I'd rather be the only one dead, because I would go to the next world.
But if he died, he would really lose his life.
I felt extremely heavy and depressed. Even if the world in front of me was the modern society I always wanted, it couldn't arouse any positive emotions in me.
After encouraging myself for a while, I was a little bit happier. I stood up and prepared to explore this new world.
I hope this world can let me find a way to use my power. I was thinking this when I saw a man with black hair and wearing a gorgeous Tang suit walk past me.
Oh, it seems this is China.
I took two steps in the opposite direction and saw a dessert shop and a bunch of foreigners.
… Wait, Tang suit, China man, foreigners, dessert shop?
Did he think of something!!!
At that moment, I turned around and ran in the direction that the China man had just walked. Not long after, I saw a place marked Zhonghua Street.
LUCKY！ Sect Leader was right. Whenever misfortune comes, there must be great luck behind it!
Me! Forever! I like Earl D! My pets!
I plunged into Zhonghua Street and asked a passerby, "Is there a pet shop here? Can you please tell me where it is? "
"You mean Earl D's pet shop? You'll be there one block ahead. "
Wow, wow, wow, wow!
In my previous life, I must have saved the Milky Way! I want to live in this world forever!
With a little heart beating wildly, I floated in the direction that the man pointed to me. My mind was full of a nine-tailed fox on my left, a Taotie on my right, and a group of cats, dogs, tigers, leopards, pythons, rabbits, birds of paradise, phoenixes, and red dragons around me … I was a winner in life.
When I was a child, I read the comic "Pet Shop of Horrors". I thought all pet shops were like this. Every time I wrote an essay, I had to make opening a pet shop my ultimate dream.
But reality slapped me in the face!
Pet shops in reality were not like that at all! Not to mention a kirin or a red dragon, there wasn't even a fox!
I, who knew the truth, was so angry that I screamed!
I hopped around happily until I finally saw Count D's shining pet shop on the side of the road!
We're here! My little babies!
From today onwards, even if I die, even if I am eaten, even if I become pet food, I will still be with you!
I reached out and knocked on the door. When I heard the heavenly voice from inside, I happily pushed the door open.
"Sorry to bother you!" I asked cheerfully, "Excuse me, do you accept workers? The kind that provides food and lodging but not a salary?! "
Count D looked at me in surprise. He smiled awkwardly and refused. "I don't need a clerk."
I didn't hear what Count D was saying at all. As soon as I entered the pet shop, I was completely engrossed in all the animals in the shop. All the furry animals had struck a chord in my heart!
Wow, this place, this place is simply heaven!
"Miss? Miss? Are you okay? "
When I came back to my senses, I found that I was sucked to the side of an extremely beautiful cat. I buried my head in the cat's belly.
"Hurry, hurry up and pull me up! I'm being sucked!"
Count D pulled me up and frowned. "I understand your love for animals, but I really don't need a clerk here …"
"But I've crossed the ocean to come to this strange and cold city. The intrigue here has made me penniless, and I was almost sold off. I'm so pitiful. Please take me in." I looked at Count D pitifully.
"If that's the case, I have an animal here …"
"No, I just want to work for you." I sat on the ground and hugged Count D's leg. I pretended to cry.
"Guest, guest, please don't be like this."
Count D's distressed expression is so cute!
I will always like Count D's! His pet!
"Then let me work for you." I looked at Count D with starry eyes.
"I don't need a clerk here …"
"Then take me in. I have no home to return to!" I said shamelessly. I saw that all the animals in the shop were glaring at me fiercely, but I didn't care!
I'm the successor of socialism! I'm iron-headed and fearless!
Even if I die under a peony flower, I'll still be a romantic ghost!
Count D sighed and showed an expression of helplessness. "Then, then you can stay here for the time being. You can only sleep in the outer room …"
… I know you're like this. As long as it doesn't involve animals, you don't care, but … but is this really okay?!
"Also," Count D's troubled expression disappeared. He was in the middle of the animals in the shop, and he smiled like a mannequin. "If anything happens, you'll have to bear the consequences."
"Okay!" I happily shook Count D's hand. "Count, don't worry! I'll definitely protect you and the little ones! "
Just like that, I successfully convinced (forced) Count D to stay in his pet shop and live a life of walking cats and playing with dogs.
"Stop fighting." Count D watched helplessly as I rolled around on the ground with a group of cats and dogs. "It's time to eat."
"Huh? Ahhh? " I struggled to raise my head from the large group of animals. "Are you done? I can help you!"
"…" Count D didn't say anything. He just stared at me like I was trash.
… I know my performance last time disappointed you, but I didn't do it on purpose. After all, I didn't do any household chores since I was young. I had to learn how to cook from scratch!
I looked at Count D pitifully. He finally said helplessly, "Okay, I want to eat red bean pancakes in the afternoon. Can you buy it for me?"
"No problem!" I jumped up happily. I looked at the cats and dogs and their fur. "Do you want to eat anything else? I'll buy it for you too ~ "
"No need. But, do you know the way?"
… Oh! I don't know!
"Then let Little Q take you there." Count D raised Little Q and handed it to me.
I took Little Q in a daze. The moment I held the soft and furry body in my hands, I felt like I had entered sage time and my whole body was about to melt.
"Come back to your senses." Count D waved his hand in front of my eyes and puffed up his face. "You should go."
"Yes ~" I said softly and carried Little Q out of the pet shop.
On the way to buy desserts, I saw a ghost following a person. It took me some time to convince him that he was haunted by a ghost. Then, I persuaded the ghost to leave and received a thank you fee.
With these few green tickets, I was filled with confidence and bought the desserts in the Hall of Wishes.
"This Count should also like to eat … Aiya, Little Q, stop messing around." I didn't care about Little Q who was pulling my hair and continued to choose seriously. After half of the money I had was gone, I stopped buying in satisfaction. I took the desserts and brought Little Q back to Count D.
On the way back, I kept looking for people who were haunted by something so that I could use my [Verbal Cannon] ability to send them to the sky and earn some money.
In the end, there wasn't anyone!
After being depressed for a while, I happily brought my loot to the pet shop and opened the door happily.
"Clang clang clang clang!" I happily returned with the desserts and the small amount of money I earned. "Look, I earned money!"
"That's amazing." Count D happily took the desserts. "Now we can have afternoon tea."
"Mhmm! I bought other desserts for you. Also, what do they like? I can buy it too! "I lifted the little raccoon who was squatting by Count D's feet." What do you want to eat, Little Fatty? "
Little Fatty scratched my face with his claws.
I pinched Little Fatty's little hand. "Little Fatty, is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you ~"
Count D listened to Little Q's gestures and asked, "Are you Onmyoji?"
"… This was taught to me by a friend of mine." I thought of Akuraba Of Goguryeo and my mood fell. "He taught me a lot of things, but he died in the end."
"What a pity." Count D put his palms together and sighed. "But since you have the means to make a living, shouldn't you …"
！！！
He's actually waiting for me here!
No, I'm not going to leave! Leaving is impossible!
"…" I was still too thin-skinned. After a long silence, I finally came up with a wonderful idea. "How about this, I'll also be a pet you want to sell!"
"…" Count D looked me up and down. "This is a legitimate pet shop. I don't buy or sell humans."
"Don't discriminate against humans!" I couldn't help but protest. "I'm also a kind of animal! I'm also a primate! "
"And my IQ is even lower than an animal's! Why are you looking down on me?! "
Count D was speechless. "…"
I picked up a blade of grass and stuck it in my head. I hugged Count D's leg and looked at him with tears in my eyes. "That's right! I'm also a homeless animal. Let me live here until you sell me, okay? "
"Count, I'm begging you. I can pay you." As I said that, I raised the small amount of money I just earned. "I, I'll earn more money in the future …"
Count D helplessly covered his eyes and pushed away my hand. "Okay …"
I jumped up happily. "Then I'll go prepare afternoon tea. What do you like to drink, Count? "
"Let me do it." Count D dejectedly snatched the teapot from my hand. "If it's you, you'll definitely make some weird taste and waste the tea."
"…!!!" I was so angry, but I couldn't refute him.
