Chapter 229: Pastime 7

͇L͇e͇a͇l͇t͇a͇d͇ ͇1

A litter of puppies was born to one of the workers of a pet store, who not having the necessary to be able to take care of them all, he asked his boss for a favor, that they could please put these dogs up for adoption and find a better home than he could give them. The breed of dog was Rottweiler, a breed loved by many and feared in the same way, or you could see it as your best companion that you will have for a while, or you could see it as a danger to you and your surroundings, they are canines that if they do not have a good care and growth, if they are not taught well, could be chaos. It is not for nothing that they are mostly used as guard dogs, police dogs and herding dogs, but they are just like any other pet dog, with the saying that they are man's best friend.

The owner of the store gladly accepted his worker's request, so he took care of the pups for a few months to make them more suitable for adoption. It has been months of suffering on his part, but it was worth it, because now they will find a place where they will fill the house and the people with life.

Quickly the puppies on the counter were playing with each other, at the beginning they were doubtful about why they were here, since many preferred to be with their mother or with the human who took care of them, but being small and having company, they quickly forgot it, fluttering here and there in their place. They proved to be playful dogs and not at all serious as their breed is, and that caught the attention of many who came to the store and saw the litter, they were happy and amused that they are energetic.

『Hey hey hey, come and play with us too, the humans gave us new toys to have fun with!!! come on don't be serious!!!』

One of the puppies noticed one of his brothers, one who always since he came to this place, has been looking out the window of his counter, watching people pass by, watching the day go by, just sitting there, waiting. The puppy who was talking to him, quickly to join them, with his jaw he grabbed his ear to take him, he was pulling enough not to hurt him, but it was not so much strength to take him, so he decided to make a strong pull, but it seems that he was no longer biting well that he ended up going backwards by himself.

『Hahaha this canine is funny』『You think so too? It looks cute how it tries to cheer up the other』』.

A couple was watching the puppies, the puppy who suffered from the one just because of his movement, he turned his head because of the confusion he received, quickly his gesture changed to a serious one, but anyway it didn't stop him from looking cute, so this one stood in front of his brother and with his head pushed him towards the others.

『Stop being so serious, if you before when we were with the human, you were playful and made mischief with us, come on !!!! Don't be so serious!!! 』

His brother was managing to push his serious brother away little by little, this made him very happy that he continued with the same strength, Pom! Out of nowhere the serious Rottweiler happened to turn by himself and move, that his brother who was pushing him, again because of his strength this one fell lying face down on the dry straw. Again because of his confusion, he turned his head quickly while looking for his brother, the couple of humans who were watching, laughed at the action of that pet again.

The puppy managed to find his serious brother, and realized that the human who took care of them for these months came, he was filling the big plate of food and milk for them to eat, quickly all the puppies that were there, went to the human as they can quickly recognize him, but the food won them more than they just went to eat. It was centimeters that separated the hand from the litter of puppies, but after a few seconds before withdrawing his hand, he felt a lick on it, and then felt as soft and small pads.

It was the serious Rottweiler that happened to show affection towards him, where after the above, he happened to sit seriously and bark with his small developing voice.

"I take care of you, so please don't leave me.

That was what the Rottweiler said seriously with his barking, you could even see how he wagged from side to side his little tail he had, but the human just happened to smile and gently stroked his little head and cheek. This was seen by his brother who wanted to help him, who seeing that he received affection, this also wanted, ran to the hand, and with small bites was telling him to also caress him, it was a simple scene, but it seems that this captivated those who were deciding who to take.

『Excuse me, these dogs are up for adoption right? We would like to take one please』.

It seems that finally, after days, someone will take the first canine from this litter, the worker with a kindness was telling them that sure, it may have been only seconds in choosing these and maybe very fast, but the serious Rottweiler felt it much more, as hands were coming closer and closer to him, as if saying that he would be taken away, things went through his mind, on the one hand he was happy but on the other hand he was sad, since he, from the beginning only thought of protecting his human who raised him and gave him affection, but he also knows that it should not be like that, that it is his own logic, but of all he cannot refuse in being alone for one.

『This is him, isn't it? Since we saw it, it caught our attention hahaha it's licking my face, yes, this must be it』

『(This human tastes like cookies!)』

It seems that it is already decided who will leave and who will stay, the worker would quickly attend to them and told them that they must have everything they need to be able to take care of him, the couple was happy with the little canine and that he will surely make their day, it seems that he already made friends with the humans who will take him in, as he licked them, wagged his tail, barked at them, while the humans, gave them affection as well.

This seems to have caught the attention of the litter, since seeing how his brother had been receiving affection from the humans for a long time, they also somehow wanted to go with one, to be adopted, you could see how from the place where they were, they had gathered in a corner, standing on two legs and leaning with the other 2 on the glass, looking attentive while wagging their tails from side to side. But the serious Rottweiler was still sitting there watching intently, watching his brother who mostly insisted on playing, now he could have much more fun, play with humans and make a happy home full of life. Maybe he didn't say it in words, but he was glad that his brother had found a home.

And so the days went by, he did nothing to get adopted, he always did the same thing, sitting and watching the outside world from that glass, it really gave him the name of seriousness, guardian and leadership from a very young age. While his other siblings, when they saw a human pass by, they did everything they could to get them to take him, they started barking, playing with each other, doing failed tricks, licking them, wagging their tails, really, they did everything they could to get attention and they succeeded. Several people that one would not imagine, took these little animals, who were captivated by these puppies. Businessmen, students, parents, university students, also elderly people, and even yakusas or gang members, who seemed to be bad people, all were animal lovers, who when they saw the puppies fell in love instantly and left aside their seriousness to show their affectionate side.

The worker was more than happy that he was able to find homes for his pets, he made each and every one of them swear to treat them well, and he also thanked them for being able to give them what he could not because of his inefficiency. And so it is as all by their own efforts of the puppies, one by one they went happily to their new owners and a new life. But their serious brother, who even looked lonely by his own actions, was the one who was left last, still looking through the glass to the outside.

When it was time to eat, there was no longer as much hustle and bustle as before, now instead of a large plate, now there was only a small plate for both kibble and milk, it was silent that place of the pet store, what was once full of life, because now that life is home to many of the city.

The puppy after eating, he would continue to look through the glass, but without warning, perhaps because he was so seriously lost in it, he did not notice that a little person just entered the store and quickly went to where he was, with a light caress on the head, finally they met face to face.

『That's good, you're still here, you're still as serious as those days *smiles*』.

A little girl appeared, she was wearing a dress, with bows, it was like out of a princess fairy tale dressed like royalty, you could even say it was weird, on her arm she was hugging a stuffed animal, it was a stuffed animal like a red rabbit named Mr.Chochi.

『This little friend is called Mr.Chochi, he helps me when I can't sleep, when I want to play, and when I'm going through a bad time, I owe a lot to this stuffed animal since I feel safer with him, and I think I already gained enough courage to be able to do the same, to be able to become his friend *smiles* My name is ----------』

『You've already separated from us again daughter, since you've been wearing that dress you're like that, come quickly, you wanted a dog right? come, we'll pick one for you』.

The little girl before she could say her name, was interrupted by her mother who called him to be with her, the little girl we will call her for us or rather the same Rottweiler.

『(She is the one who always passed by the store, as I don't know her name, I named her Damsel, as she always stopped with that style of clothes when I saw her passing by)』.

The Rottweiler remembered his days looking through the glass, his pastime and the only thing he did was to see the outside world, between all that time, all kinds of people passed by, the canine watched every human passing by, each one doing his things, either for good, for bad, or just for his own whim, but , each one was doing what he liked or had to do, or even they were preparing to do it, compared to him who didn't have it defined and when he almost had it he was taken to this place. In the afternoon hour, when the students return home, I could see a small group of students always pass by the store, among them passed the Damsel, she was too recognizable, already many other people turned to look at the glass, and they only found a serious or even bored dog that just sat there. He didn't attract anyone's attention, but Damsel's did. Her first words when she stopped to look at him were.

『This puppy is very funny, don't you think so?』

Damisela said that when she saw the Rottweiler, but the comment didn't displease the canine, but she didn't like it either, it was simply a phrase said for the moment and that was it, there was no need to take it so much relevance. Days and days went by, the actions of simply turning his eyes and saying a few words, became a kind of relationship, since every time Damisela saw the canine sitting, he came to keep her company from the outside, to tell her his problems and have fun with it. Maybe, this way, not forced, but because the moment wanted it, the Rottweiler became a little bit fond of this unknown person, since she was the only one who naturally got along with him.

Damisela was with her parents, it was a long awaited day since they finally gave her permission to have a pet, her family agreed that if she could pass all the subjects with a good grade, she would get a pet, an achievement that she achieved since they are here. Maybe when you see Damisela you think that her family has to do with kingdoms, castles and things like that, but no, her parents dressed in a businesslike and normal way, the daughter seemed to have a penchant for dressing that way, but her behavior was not of this, the girl was with her parents while they were seeing which dog to buy, more were in the section of nice breeds dogs, such as Labrador retriever, Shih Tzu , Maltese Bichon , Beagle , Cavalier King Charles Spaniel , dogs that are pretty to look at and imply that they are affectionate, playful and friendly. The little girl was happy with the dogs she saw, but when her mother was careless, she did not avoid turning her eyes to the Rottweiler.

『(Why is she looking at me, those dogs are what people expect, playful, funny, affectionate, I am not good at giving gestures, besides a dog like them would look good next to her, somehow they combine, those canines are good, just as I am happy that they took my brothers, I will be happy that one of them will leave)』.

When he just realized his whole thought the Rottweiler, Damisela was in front of him again, with a warm and smiling gesture. The surprise was so much that this one fell on his back, since all this time he was leaning out with his 2 paws.

『You didn't stop looking at me, did I interest you so much? *smiles* Because I am very interested in you』.

All this time, while the Rottweiler was in his thoughts, he did not realize that all his attention and attention, he took it to look at the girl Damisela, where this also by the actions of the canine, happened to turn his gaze. The mother, realizing that her daughter was not by her side again, went to look for her and found her, but before she could say anything, the little girl spoke.

『I want this friend mother, I don't want a no as an answer, we agreed that if I pass the exams efficiently, they would give me a friend, I tried hard so I can choose who to take, I want this serious little friend *smiles*』.

Damisela smiled mischievously at her mother, maybe it was like now she is making fun of her for all the restrictions she had to go through before. The mother looked sideways at the canine and noticed that it was a Rottweiler, the mother quickly thought about how it would look big and what its behavior would be, when she drew her conclusions she didn't really like the result, she was going to refuse but her husband was telling her that they don't have time anymore and that they must be for the meeting. The mother did not want that dog, she wanted a friendly and fun pet for her daughter, someone to keep her company, she said it would be better another day when they have time, but the daughter refused.

"You promised! You said it would be today, I want this friend, and I'm going to have him!』

The little girl went on to take the Rottweiler in her arms along with Mr.Chochi, it seems she found her best friends at last. The mother had no other choice, she was wanting to impose her law, but with her husband, the meeting and her stubborn daughter, she gave a sigh not to go any further, accepting her daughter's request and not to break her word to herself.

The little girl Damisela listening to her mother, a big smile was framed on her face as she was hugging her new friend the Rottweiler. Her siblings since the first one was taken by a loving family, they did everything they could to please each other, maybe being themselves or maybe not, that goes from each person what they like about each other, that's how a friendship is formed, positivity and negativity, it seems that to Damisela, It seems that Damisela was so attracted to the Rottweiler always sitting in the same place, always looking at the outside, with that seriousness that when he grows up maybe it will become leadership, since she saw him she wanted him to be her friend so she could drag him wherever she wanted, because that's how it is, there are people so hyperactive that when they see one who is not, they try to encourage him too.

Everything was already done, the worker was very happy to see that they finally took the last of the litter, he made them swear to take good care of him, the girl was the one who responded more than the parents, since it was also evident that the upbringing and everything about the dog is the obligation of the little one. The family was already leaving and you could see how the worker waved his hand smiling to the last puppy, where the Rottweiler just happened to stare, without looking away for a second, using all his time to see only him, as it is possible that he will never see him again.

When they arrived at the house, it was a simple house in a simple neighborhood, the only ones who arrived were Damisela and the Rottweiler, since the parents with their car quickly went to the important meeting they had, leaving the girl and pet a few meters away from their house with the key. When I opened the door it was all tidy, without any mess, the places well placed, the smell of the perfumer that the mother made every time she leaves, although that's kind of silly now that I think about it xd. There were only these 2, alone at home like most of the time. Quickly the girl took the Rottweiler to the living room, they had to talk about something important, she put Mr.Chochi on her side and the Rottweiler on the other.

『Right, in important meetings, in important meetings.... are boring and just talk...I'll bring snack to eat together and be more relaxed, I'll be right back』.

The Damsel went to the kitchen to be able to bring what she said, the Rottweiler as is typical of him, remained sitting on the couch, looking around, again this seemed to him when he was left alone, a silence and loneliness all around, but there was something else, something else that he did not know what it was and only said to say what would be the answers, what resonated most in his head was that, as a hyperactive girl like her, can have a home so tidy, okay that of being tidy at home, but here there is no sign that someone juice, parents seem to have put a law. At last Damisela came with milk in a dish for the Rottweiler, glass milk for her and Mr.Chochi, as well as a plate of cookies.

"You really stayed still, the milk is good, isn't it, and you, Mr. Chochi? Do you like it as usual?

『Yes, I do. !!!! I like milk a lot, and these cookies you prepared at your age are good tasty, if you already prepare at this level, when you grow up you can open your cookie shop』( +･｀ω･ω･)b

『Hehehehe, really? It's also not that much Mr.Chochi, is it? Maybe yes, it's not a bad idea』.

Something peculiar happened that the Rottweiler did not expect, and it was that the girl's stuffed toy, Mr.Chochi talked, well, not as he talks, moves his mouth and stuff, but Damisela modified her voice more serious to be able to play Chochi and talk to him, it was what a girl did in her quest to not be alone and bored to resort to imagination. The girl's expressions were also exaggerated, the Rottweiler quickly deduced that everything she does with the limitations she has, is a way to give life to this home. When she had cookies in her mouth, the little girl began to talk.

『You might wonder why it's so tidy, I just did a little cleaning of the kitchen, my parents work every day, I don't want to bother them so I try to do the minimum when I'm here, I take care of cleaning or at least what is necessary for my family not to do it, and the truth is .... I'm tired of it』.

It was perhaps an obvious answer but all the same it didn't avoid surprising the Rottweiler, again it seems there would be a conversation with the girl and the stuffed animal.

『Tired you say??¿¿¿¿ But if it's okay, the home is always supposed to be clean, no one wants to live in a hovel』( ｰ`дｰ')

『Me neither but this is excessive, I don't plan to mess everything up, upside down, nah, I just want to have fun as I am in my home, it seems that my family sees me as a whirlwind that destroys everything if they don't tell me something *sigh* I am their daughter or an animal? so I want to change that and you will help me 』.

Both Damisela and Mr.Chochi happened to look at the Rottweiler that it seems that by the fusillade of looks he was receiving, this for the first time felt uncomfortable, the Rottweiler in his mind commented that how can he say that, if there are dogs that make a whole rampage in a few seconds, again he thought that if he wanted that, if that was his goal, he should have taken another kind of dogs and not a serious one.

『I don't want to make any mess at home, I said it, the least I want is to bother my parents, they make an effort for me that is the least I can do now to give them back to them, the only thing I want to change from this empty place, is for it to have life, please help me in that』.

The little girl Damisela was asking the Rottweiler for a favor, he was confused by the little girl's words, now if he understood, also Mr.Chochi was asking her to help him and that finally this will be a home like any stable family, with laughter, conversations between family, etc, etc, etc.

『(I see, she chose me because I am the right one for her goal, it's true, an unruly one would have already snooped and destroyed the whole house, which she didn't want, but leaving with me is also very extreme, I said before, I am not good at giving gestures, for me, giving life to a home is much more difficult than destroying it.....if that is her goal, I am sorry I can't help you)』

『And also it's not only that why I chose you, from the first time, from the first time I saw you at the counter, I really liked you!!!』

Damisela spoke without further ado at the end of what the canine was thinking, upon hearing those words, the Rottweiler who was looking away, started to stare at the girl again, this time not unconsciously, he was doing it because he wanted to.

『It's up to me, but I like it like this! You're so serious that I want you to play with me! You're so serious I want you to smile! play with me! Just like these years having Mr.Chochi helped me change from how serious I was, I want to do the same with you, I want to be able to in my biggest goal, to become friends..... I want to be full of life for real』.

It seems like the little girl Damisela was about to break down because of her revelations, she even didn't even do Mr.Chochi's voice anymore to make herself feel better or get into character, it's like now we do see the real girl, out of that dress. Before shedding some tears, she felt some soft and warm pads on her hand, she felt a smaller paw on her hand, when she looked down on the couch, it was the Rottweiler that just with that gesture was accepting her. The girl understood anyway, so she said thank you and hugged the canine, she repeated it several times, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, she said it between tears. They happened to look at each other, the Rottweiler noticing that his now owner was crying, as he was close to her face, he would do something he did not do with another one, which is to lick her, he would lick the remains of tears from her face, as if telling her not to worry anymore.

『You're like a gentleman *smiles* Mostly serious, but when someone is asking for help you go and help them, I think I already have a name to give you, you will be called --------』

At that before he says what his name is, the canine happened to make a weird gesture with his face, where the girl happened to laugh because of how funny he looked, tears everyone will know that they are salty, because it seems that for the little Rottweiler it was so much that made him react that way.

『Hahahahaha I knew it, the most serious ones are the ones who do the funniest things』.

『Calm down my doña!!!! Laughing is ok! But not that much either!!! But it's ok anyway!!! I haven't seen you laugh like that for a long time!!!!! Well done 』

Damisela was talking to Mr.Chochi about the situation now, where something strange happened again, this time who stroked her head was not Damisela, but the stuffed toy Mr.Chochi, the stuffed rabbit thanked her for being able to make her friend laugh and that they will be together for much longer, also that time was the first time the Rottweiler saw the name of the girl on the sole of one of the stuffed toy's paws.

『(With that being your name, at the end of it all I'm going to call her Damsel, since it goes with gentleman)』.

The afternoon that was left until the parents return, what they did first is that the Rottweiler becomes much more open, that is he doesn't just sit or do simple chores like eating and sleeping, he is a dog and obviously he has to do his own thing at his own pace. So this afternoon he got a lesson in how to be more liberal from Damisela and Mr.Chochi.

『Well!!! For your first test, is that you run around the house, just run around, scavenge places with your nose and ears!!! go ahead my gentleman!!!!!』

She told him that, but the Rottweiler stayed as he always does, sitting in one place watching, the girl thought of a way of how to make him looser, in there she remembered that for some reason they have those small automatic vacuum cleaners that clean the house, but she since days ago made a couple of modifications, let's say she disguised it, going from seeing a normal vacuum cleaner, to one in the shape of a cat.

『Well my gentleman, we were infiltrated by a spy in the house, he is looking for information and places where there is money, if you see that something is not in place, it is one more step to catch him, come on my gentleman!!!』

『On the count of 3 you start!!!! 3!!!!』

Damisela and Mr.Chochi were commenting and already had the game ready, the Rottweiler was still still, he didn't seem to follow the game, but suddenly he heard sounds in the kitchen, there are only the 3 of them so who could it be, maybe his guardian instinct made him move to see what was going on, he had to check that there is nothing wrong, when he got to the kitchen slowly he managed to see how a tail was leaving this one, he checked the kitchen and remembered Damisela's words, that if he sees that something is in disorder to let him know. There was a door open and the refrigerator open, where quickly without thinking this barked to alert its owner, quickly the girl happened to come running to check what was going on.

"Oh, you found clues? Well done, sir! Let's see what he says, Fucking read it...aha!!! We have a chistosito spy among us, jijiji don't you know he'll soon fall 』

『But what a childish spy to leave that note, don't you think so? 』

『Seriously Mr.Chochi? I think the one who left the note is so funny that he deserves an award not best 2, not best 3, ahh!!! it's so many things I want to ask』.

They continued with the notes, the canine searched and barked with his little voice to warn his owner, where the owner also as a reward gave him cookies and ordered what he did. In the end all the notes were funny things to make fun of, but when they were going to continue with their search, they ran into the spy. The cat-shaped vacuum cleaner got stuck in a corner and couldn't get out. The Rottweiler approached thinking it was a cat, but then he saw that its shape was weird, it had no legs and its face looked artificial, it seems that this scared him so much by what he saw that he got a shock and fainted.

『EHHH?!!!! So bad you are careful that you already died on the first day????』

『Don't say that Mr.Chochi!!!! Ahhh gentleman!!!! Soldier down soldier down soldier down!!!』

It was already late, time for the parents to come, it was strange to them that the house when they entered everything was dark and also they seemed to hear strange words like shamans, and also in the living room you could see candles lit, when they turned on the light they saw their daughter doing a kind of ritual, with a pentagram drawn on several papers so as not to dirty the floor or the room, where in the center was the fainted canine who could not wake up. The girl had no better idea than to play shaman and bring him back to life.

"Good night, mother and father! It's not what it looks like! He didn't die on me or anything! I'll bring him back to us now! hyuseuthsgkuukskhahcohauekakrhajetk』

The girl started speaking any language, the parents said nothing either because something left them in shock too or they saw something they never thought they saw. This was already weird to Damisela, since at one time her parents would have claimed her for her actions, but it's like something literally left them with their mouths open.

"You woke up my knight, you saw, I brought him back to life』.

The Rottweiler finally woke up from his fainting, he still didn't understand what was going on but he was already better than before, quickly Damisela passed to hug him with affection, but at that he makes a call to his other friend that the plan was a success to bring his friend to life.

『Look Mr. Chochi, the ritual worked!!! We brought him back to life! Where are you Mr.Chochi??¿¿¿¿----...Eh?』

When Damisela was looking for her stuffed animal, she saw that it was lying on the floor, and out of nowhere, little by little, it lifted her up just like in a horror movie, the parents screamed when they saw this and quickly called the church for what could happen. But the girl instead of being scared, was impressed by this.

『That's good Mr.Chochi, you can walk by yourself now! Now we'll be the Dynamic Trio』

Mr.Chochi got up head first and seemed to be floating, his parents were so scared that they left their house to get help, forgetting about their daughter, it was all a joke made by her, because of all the time they didn't pay attention to him, she wanted them to pay for it with a bad joke. When she saw her pet fainted, she thought of doing that exorcism movie thing, first she wanted help from her canine, but it seems that he was not going to wake up, so she would use her stuffed animal, with threads she created a mechanism in the house to make it look like he was rising.

『Jajajajajaja they really believed it, I guess I will receive a reprimand, but it was worth it, and your gentleman, are you better? ah! I will also turn off the music that was playing, ready *smiles* 』 』.

When Damisela was checking her pet, she noticed that he fainted again, his eyes were now white and he wasn't moving a single muscle.

『Jjjajajajajaja.....（・-・）hay, I guess I did overdo it 』

Just as he said or didn't say, he brought in a funny way life to his house, let's just hope he will confirm us that he didn't leave one xd.
