I dreamt of the fire again.
The fire swallowed everything in front of me. I could only watch as Akuraba Of Goguryeo was shrouded in shadows and slowly lost his breath.
… If only I was the one who died.
I didn't want Akuraba Of Goguryeo to die.
"… Wake up."
I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Count D looking at me with a worried expression.
"Are you okay?" Count D patted my head to comfort me. "Come, have a cup of tea."
Accepting the hot tea from Count D, I took a sip and finally relaxed the tension in my heart.
"Thank you. I had a nightmare." I scratched my head in frustration and found Count D sitting next to me. "I'm fine now. No matter what, it's all in the past."
"That's right, that's right." Count D smiled and stuffed a piece of chocolate into my mouth. "Come, get ready for breakfast."
The sweet white chocolate melted in my mouth. Fatty, the little raccoon, also leaned against me obediently like never before, his little paw resting on my leg.
Count D really didn't care about anything.
I couldn't help but think that if it were me and someone insisted on sticking to me, I would definitely explode in anger and beat them up. But whether it was now or in the past, no matter what humans wanted to do to him, he didn't care.
"Sigh, the count is really worrisome, isn't he, Fatty?" I subconsciously ignored the memory of those who wanted to bully Count D being eaten by his animals. I looked at Fatty seriously and said, "So, we have to protect the count, right?"
This time, not only Fatty, but the gold leopard lying next to me also nodded seriously.
"Then let's set up a small team to protect the count!"
At this moment, the way the animals in the pet shop looked at me changed. They suddenly became very gentle, as if I had turned from a naughty child into a little angel in an instant.
Wow, did you see my true nature only now? I'm a cute little angel!
While I was happily playing clapping with Fatty, another customer came to the pet shop. It was a cute little girl. Count D took the little girl around the pet shop and introduced her to all kinds of cute animals.
I knew that the animals in Count D's shop were very obedient and cute. If I could bring them back, they would definitely be very obedient.
However, after introducing and playing with the kittens, rabbits, and birds outside the shop, the girl still said unwillingly, "They're all such ordinary animals. I want some different animals that can surprise people."
… It's like this again.
I felt a little bored. Everyone who came here had heard that there were different animals in Count D's house, which was why they had come. But in that case, wouldn't the original intention of raising a pet be completely wrong?
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted a companion from the bottom of his heart and was willing to accept its disobedience, he could understand that it also had its own temper. He knew that it might bite people and might urinate and defecate everywhere. With such a curious mentality, sooner or later, he would get tired of it.
Lying on the sofa, I looked at Count D and smiled like a mask. "Of course, there's no animal you can't find here."
How infuriating.
The little girl followed Count D into the mysterious door of the pet shop. I let out a long sigh and lifted Xiao Pang up. I flipped her over and placed her on my feet above my head.
Fatty was so angry that she bit my foot. I threw her up and down. "Sigh, young people these days always want to make big news. Isn't it good to have a dog? Dogs are human's best friends … Ow!! "
I didn't know when the leopard came over and bit my head. "But big cats are human's religion!"
Luckily, it had saved my life. I hugged the big cat and stroked it for a while. Finally, I calmed my little heart down.
"Since you've found the pet you want, you must raise it according to the instructions. If there are any accidents, the shop will not be responsible."
“?? Close? Suppress? Read?
I watched as the little girl walked out with a cage wrapped in cloth, wondering what she had bought from Count D in my mind.
"Recently, more and more people have come to buy pets." Count D sat next to me and picked up his teacup. "Seriously, they are all so cute."
"Everyone has the mentality to seek novelty." I looked at Count D while hugging the big cat. "Everyone wants to be unique. When they can't achieve this goal, they start to place their hopes on the next generation or other things around them. How irresponsible."
"That's human nature. No matter what era it is, where it is, people are selfish, cruel, and build their happiness on others …"
Before Count D could finish, I moved closer to him and stared at him.
The cold smile on his face turned into a cute, stunned expression. "W-what's wrong?"
"Have you never met a good thing? Never met a good person? " I didn't wait for Count D's answer and said with a smile, "For me, meeting a count is the happiest thing in the world."
"Of course, you've met …"
"That's right, that's right. For example, the count met me. Did he forget the rice in the pot because it was full of rat feces? It's still there! "
At this time, the door was pushed open again. Count D and I turned to look and saw a rough-looking man walk in. When he saw Count D and me, he jumped up like a rabbit.
"Hello, welcome to Count D's Pet Shop. What do you want? Our shop has everything from small animals like cats and dogs, to birds, beasts, insects, and fish." Before Count D could say anything, I said the line that Count D said every day.
"… You're so naughty. You've taken away a big part of my fun." Count D pretended to wipe his tears with a handkerchief next to me.
"During working hours …" The rough-looking man glanced at the table full of desserts and food, then said impatiently, "I want to buy a lizard, the kind that can kill people."
Oh, could this be Leo?
I lay on the sofa and watched Count D make Leo angry with just a few words. Leo was so angry that his veins were bulging. He stomped away with heavy footsteps.
"It's hard to do business," Count D said. He didn't seem to care at all. "There are always all kinds of people who come looking for trouble."
"… That's because the animals you sell are too dangerous," I complained.
"I only provide the pets that the customers want according to their needs," Count D sighed. The Count sighed. "Who asked humans to always go back on their words? If we had raised them according to my method, there wouldn't have been any problems at all …"
"Because the more you say no, the more I want to do it!" I saw the braised jerky on the table. It was because I liked to eat it that the count started buying new snacks. "Count, come and eat the delicious jerky with me!"
Count D:!!!!
I saw Count D jump up at lightning speed and hide in the furthest corner of the room from me. He looked at the jerky in my hand with fear. "No, don't give me this when I'm eating desserts!"
"Hmph, this is the human's punishment for you. Accept it!" I jumped up like a demon king and chased after Count D. "Today is the day you, the evil and sweet human, meet your end!"
After chasing for a long time, I discovered that Count D was running like a rabbit even though he was wearing a complicated Tang suit. I chased him for a long time, but I couldn't catch up to him.
This time, I won't admit defeat!
I used the Yin-Yang Technique in an attempt to freeze Count D in place, but I didn't expect that my Yin-Yang Technique would be useless against Count D, as if it was just a drop of water in the ocean.
In the end, I was pushed to the ground by the animals in the pet shop and became the cornerstone at the bottom of a human pyramid.
"… Help … Help me … I can't breathe …" I struggled to push the animals off me, but they were really heavy!
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up. I'm fine now." Count D pretended to talk to me nicely for a while before he finally pulled me out. "Why don't you learn from your mistakes? You've been chased by them several times because of this."
"It's because bullying counts is really fun! But I can totally accept it! "
"… Oh," Count D answered coldly.
In the next second, I was thrown to the ground again, and a large wave of furry animals pressed me down.
