Chapter 189: Mount woof woof woof woof!
It was the first time Chaomu saw such a shocked expression on a dog's face.
The two large mastiffs, weighing more than 300 kilograms in total (although one of them looked like a marshmallow, it was still a heavy marshmallow), showed the same expression at this moment: confusion, shock, and soul-searching questions such as "What are you talking about?" and "Who am I and why am I hearing such words?"
They turned into dogs. It was Xiao Chaomu who did it.
Little Chaomu suddenly turned into a raccoon in broad daylight.
Although everything that happened from last night to this morning can be condensed into these two short lines, and it may only take a few seconds to pass through the brain - the huge impact brought by the amount of information contained therein is definitely not something that Matsuda can digest quickly just by knowing it.
As for Kenji Hagiwara, although he had the impression that a raccoon came to save him when he was between life and death, his memory of the incident was a little vague due to the impact of alcohol and life and death... Now, watching Asami turn into a raccoon in broad daylight, this scene still had a huge impact on him.
The large, sluggish dogs, one black and one white, remained frozen in place for a full ten seconds, like two giant stuffed animals. Chaomu took the opportunity to rub the dogs left and right, petting them to his heart's content.
The Samoyed, whose hair stood on end from being touched, stared blankly at the raccoon with its paw outstretched. Finally, he came to his senses: "...So, little Chaomu is...a raccoon monster?"
He seemed to have finally mentally prepared himself to accept this reality, and quickly convinced himself, "So, Wang seems to have saved a raccoon trapped in a trap before, so this must be the raccoon monster's way of repaying him... Wang?"
If that's the case, then the whole thing seems to make perfect sense...? That's why he realized at the explosion site that the raccoon was Xiao Chaomu, because they'd seen each other before... But why did he remember that the raccoon he'd rescued was a male? Was he mistaken...?
"How is that possible? Hagi, are you crazy?" Matsuda interrupted his confused speech with a loud shout, verifying his memory. "That raccoon was clearly a male! We all saw it at the time... But that's not the point. The point is, how can monsters exist in the world?! That little brat must be a human with special abilities, or some weird experiment..."
Even now that he has turned into a Doberman, Jinpei Matsuda's past experiences have left him with a fundamental commitment to science, and he is more willing to consider the artificial side of things.
Chaomu followed suit and denied the "Raccoon Girl" script, waving his paw coldly. "The script for repaying a favor should be yours, Xiao Hagi. Even if someone were to work like a slave for the rest of their life, washing clothes and cooking, and even pledge their life to someone for saving their life, that person should be Mr. Samoyed—that's you, Xiao Hagi!"
How could she turn the tables? She was the master of Samohagi! If the raccoon girl really came to save people out of gratitude, how could she ride on Hagiwara Kenji's head and act so arrogantly?
Samoyed Prince Yaner: "…………"
Having his outrageous conjecture suddenly exposed, the snow-white dog couldn't help but reveal a somewhat shameful expression, silently burying himself in his paws: "Woo woof..."
Chaomu took advantage of the chaos to ruffle his hair.
"Anyway, anyway, woof!" Seeing that You Xunran was defeated, Matsuda shook his head, trying to clear his mind and take control of the conversation again. "Even if what you said is true, woof, it's just an agreement between you and Hagi! What does it have to do with me? Hurry up and change back to woof!"
There was still someone who refused to accept it. Chaomu retracted his claws, put on a kind expression, and decided to convince him first.
"Xiaosong, didn't you also say that you were willing to work harder to understand me?" She waved her claws, patiently coaxing him like a highly inspiring orator. "Becoming one of my kind, experiencing life from my perspective, isn't that the best way to understand? Look, to fulfill your wish, I even told you my biggest secret - I'm so sincere, how can you not appreciate it, Xiaosong?"
"And actually, turning into a puppy won't be a big deal. It's only for one day. Aren't you all on vacation today? By this time tomorrow, you'll have transformed back and be able to go to work on time... I've thought about it all."
The logic is rigorous, well-reasoned, and even carries a bit of grievance of "I have given so much for you and you are not moved."
Song Tianwang was choked and speechless. He opened his mouth and made a few meaningless grunts in his throat, but he couldn't find any way to refute it.
...After all, if we ignore the outrageous premise of "turning into a dog", what the innocent-looking little raccoon said seems... damn... to make a little sense?
He even couldn't help but have this thought: After all, the amazing fact that humans can turn into raccoons should have been a secret that she needed to keep strictly... When she revealed the secret, she not only found Hagiwara, but also brought him along. Does this mean that in her heart... he is also very important?
Seeing that the two big dogs were fooled, Chaomu said: The plan works.
It seems like they've both been pretty much convinced by the players, so I should probably take them to go trash hunting. It just so happens that a new area, the Sora Tiao Mansion, was just unlocked today, so shouldn't I take Pika Hagi and Xiao Huosong with me to explore it?
Speaking of exploring new areas... I feel like we can take our time and get straight to the point. It would be nice to ride our new mount through the city and pick up some trash cans along the way.
Chaomu glanced at the broad back of the large dog and felt a sudden urge to ride: the last time I rode a dog was with Yamamoto Wang and Wusi Lang. I really missed the feeling of riding a large dog parkour...
The raccoon's claws are actually not very big, with soft pads - the raccoon form chosen by the player in the game is more cute, not the huge and ferocious raccoon, and its claws do not look very lethal in normal conditions.
But when the paw rested on the Doberman's muscular back covered with short black hair, Matsuda Jinpei still felt every hair on his body stand up.
...It was definitely out of a premonition of danger, not some strange reason or a decision to feel comfortable or anything... Absolutely not!
He pricked up his ears alertly and looked at the evil raccoon that had just dropped the depth charge. The latter's golden eyes darted back and forth, looking back and forth between the two large dogs, one black and one white, as if he was brewing some evil little conspiracy.
Matsuda Wang felt that he would never fall into the trap.
He was on high alert, looking at the raccoon in front of him vigilantly.
Chaomu was assessing his new mount.
The big white dog was still lying on the ground, tongue out, a bit embarrassed. When he noticed her gaze, his tail, which had been drooping, unconsciously lifted up and swayed like a propeller. His snow-white fur was fluffy like a cloud, which looked very comfortable. Sitting on it would feel like sinking into a giant marshmallow, surrounded by the smell of puppy.
The Doberman, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. His muscles were tense, and he held a standard alert stance. His black fur was sleek and shiny, and from his shoulder blades to his slender limbs, every inch of him was filled with strength and explosive power... He looked a bit like one of those cool motorcycles, which must have been very cool.
One is soft and comfortable, the other is cool and stylish.
Only children make choices, but adult raccoons will of course...try everything.
Chaomu looked left and right between the two large dogs, and finally succumbed to the soft fur and chose her first target - she released her claws on Matsuda, took the lead in scratching the Samoyed's snow-white fur, and climbed onto his back.
"Woo woof?! Wait woof, don't climb up suddenly woof!"
Kenji, who had just recovered from his shame, was frantically trying to throw the little raccoon off his back. "Wait, wait a minute, little Chaomu? Why are you riding on me all of a sudden... Woof...?"
There was a small, but not insignificant weight on his back. The weight of the raccoon had little effect on him, but it was heavy and warm, making his back burn.
So warm… This feeling of being so close to a little animal… So, is it really this comfortable to be so close to Xiao Chaomu's "real body"? From an animal's perspective… I kind of like it… But it's not right! How can Xiao Chaomu ride on Wang's back? Xiao Zhenping is watching! If he wants to ride, it should be done in private…!
His resistance was so minimal that the raccoon on his back could easily sit still and bury its face in his soft fur. The raccoon and the dog looked quite harmonious.
"Xiao Hagi's fur is so soft. I want to live in the clouds."
"Woof... live, live in the clouds or something... If Xiao Chaomu likes... Woof..."
"Good dog, good dog, keep your chin up."
"Woof...Woo..."
The Samoyed, whose chin was being rubbed, swung its tail violently, hitting the Doberman, who had just hidden behind it to avoid harm, in the face. The latter stared at his unscrupulous young friend with a dark face and expressionless eyes, his eyes full of contempt.
Not only did he turn into a dog, but he was actually willing to be that brat's mount... What's wrong with Hagi?! Does he still have any dignity or boundaries?! Even for the girl he likes, he can't indulge her like this, right? Sooner or later, that brat will ride on Hagi's head... No, not sooner or later, it's already happening now...
Disgusting woof!
Jinpei Matsuda spat in his heart.
He wasn't as worthless as Hagi. If that raccoon had chosen him, he would absolutely...absolutely have thrown her off immediately, letting her know that the dignity of a Doberman Pinscher couldn't be violated. Even if he became a dog, he wasn't some docile pet. He was a wolf, aloof and unruly...
...So how long will that brat stay on Hagi's back?
