"Cosplayers"

"It's just over here, your highness," the somewhat familiar voice of a store attendant said nervously. "This is where we keep some of the strongest beasts, i-in fact a few weeks ago one of our most rare creatures, the Lykaion, had a new litter of four pups."

Anna continued to ignore her surroundings and didn't care much about the newcomers at first.

Then, a cute girl's voice said "The first Demon King's companion, Fenrir, was a Lykaion, was he not?"

'Demon king?' This in particular grabbed Anna's interest. 'Why the hell are they roleplaying in a pet shop?' She vented her frustration by mocking the newcomers.

"That is correct, Rosa dear," another unknown masculine voice replied.

"Here they are," the store attendants announced as the group arrived at the door to the room, the door opened slowly, and the group came in.

There were four people including the store attendant. The man standing in the back was dressed as a butler, his hair and eyes were dark brown, however, his pupils were slits like a snake.

In front was a tall man dressed in a black tunic, and a purple cape. He had short blonde hair, a scruffy beard and red eyes. He had a muscular build and stood at about six and a half feet tall, most notably were the black curled ram horns on the side of his head.

Finally, there was a young girl with red hair and eyes, she was dressed in black dress and red cape. Also, like the man she had two black ram horns.

Seeing the group, Anna dismissed them as some weird cosplayers, and decided to pull her signature move: continue sulking in the corner.

Little did she know however, this was not Earth, and that among the "cosplayers" was one of the most powerful beings on the planet: the Demon King, as well as his attendant, and his daughter.

By this point the other puppies had been roused from their sleep, and were excitedly greeting the new guests while the mother sat back in the corner carefully watching them. Anna's attention had already been lost, she didn't care enough about what was happening, and was still sitting and leaning her head into the corner of the room in depression.

"As you may already know, the Lykaion are an extremely rare species that have some of the highest strength and defense of any creature in the world, with Fefnir holding the records for both stats. Once bonded in a companion bond, they are fiercely loyal and compassionate," The store attendant began to explain, "They will also continue to grow well past adulthood with some reaching 2 meters in shoulder height. It all depends on their evolutionary progress. They make perfect companions because they can act as tanks and fr-" The store attendant's explanation was then cut off.

"Enough." The Demon Princess abruptly interrupted, "I'm already aware, I don't need your explanation."

"S-sorry," the attendant quickly murmured and bowed his head.

"Rosa dear," The Demon King said gently, "why don't you go ahead and pick one of these. They're all from the same litter so they should have similar talents."

The pups were running around or trying to play with the newcomers. Rosa scanned the room, looking at each one before her gaze landed on Anna in the corner. "What's wrong with that one?" she asked.

Anna would have been offended however she was preoccupied with being depressed.

"T-that one's been pouting for the past few weeks, it's not uncommon but it usually doesn't last more than a day. It m-may just be it's temperament." The worker replied nervously.

"Temperament?" The king scoffed, "You dare show us a defective dog?!?" The king began to raise his voice. The worker seemed to shrivel under the pressure, barely squeaking out, "n-n-no tha-," The king interrupted him again, "My daughter deserves only the best! She's next in line to rule the demons, and you dar-"

"It's fine," he was interrupted by the voice of his daughter, quickly ending his rage.

The shouting had also caught Anna's attention, as she listened without moving. 'Did this male Karen just call me defective?' She was too caught up in thought to notice the girl approaching.

'Aaaaa, this is all probably some weird fever dream. I mean, me reincarnating into a dog? Meeting a god? Especially those weirdos over there. If only someone could pinch m- OUCH!' She let out a whimper as she'd felt sharp pain on her ear. She quickly turned only to see that she'd been pinched by the young girl.

"I want this one," Rosa said, giving a cute, yet slightly sinister smile.
