Then came a scream.
The lame dog completely enraged the thugs.
After separating the person and the dog, the thugs started punching and kicking the dog.
The protagonist doesn't know why the dog is protecting him, but he feels terrible when he sees the dog being beaten by others for his sake.
He tried to escape in the chaos, but the dog's pitiful howls echoed in his ears.
"ah!"
After walking only a few steps, the protagonist couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and ran back into the crowd, using his body to protect the puppy.
He was very rational. There were too many people here, and he couldn't fight them all. The best thing he could do was protect the puppy and take the beating from these thugs in its place.
Once the thugs have had their fill of beating him up, their anger should subside, and then he and the dog will be safe.
After being beaten for more than ten minutes, the thug finally got tired.
After spitting on the protagonist, the thugs left, cursing and swearing.
The protagonist stood up, looked at the puppy he was protecting beneath him, and gave a very stiff smile.
The final scene shows the protagonist holding a puppy, walking in the sunset.

At that moment, Ai's voice suddenly rang out.
"It's alright." Guangyou put the book back in its place and chuckled. "The whole book was quite depressing, but thankfully the ending is a happy one, otherwise I would have really made myself suffer."

Although reading depressing books can make one appreciate the beauty of life, the process of reading them is a torment.
Life is tough enough as it is, why make it harder on yourself?
After putting the books away, Kōyū turned to Ai and asked, "Ai, do you really like reading this type of novel?"
"It's alright, I wouldn't say I like it or hate it," Ai explained. "I saw this book by chance, thought the title was nice, and bought it on a whim."
"You just bought it on a whim, is that alright?" Guangyou's lips twitched.
Aren't you worried that buying books like this will result in books that don't suit your taste?
"This book is quite good." Ai looked at Kōyū with a smile and said, "I really like one sentence in it, and that's the sentence I wanted to say to you."
"After I met you, I realized that the world isn't so bad after all."
