You wouldn't believe it, I can turn into a puppy.
Yomi Yorikawa awoke to the sound of seagulls crying.
She turned her body, and the soft cotton blanket slid down from her shoulders, revealing a slender swan neck. Her fair skin was adorned with red kiss marks, creating an ambiguous and alluring scene.
Before us stretched a vast ocean, the sea breeze whipping up waves that lapped against the cruise ship. Two seagulls perched on the window frame, occasionally letting out a cry.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan rubbed his eyes and sat up, but his lower back felt sore: "Ugh..."
She lifted the covers and peeked inside, her face immediately turning red.
Hagiwara Ken's two bastards!
Her back ached terribly, her legs were sore, and there were even marks on her body that hadn't faded yet.
The day before yesterday was the same. I promised to take her to see the stars. In the end, she could only admire the constantly shifting starry sky from afar through the car's sunroof. The air from the car's air conditioning was warm, making her feel hot, and the leather seats got dirty.
Yesterday, Kenji Hagiwara said he had taken a long leave of absence and had already bought tickets to take Yomi Laichuan on a cruise around Asia. However, on the first night on the ship, Yomi Laichuan lay on the bed and cried for half the night.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan was sitting on the bed with his arms crossed, still angry. The door lock that required a card to open rattled, and Hagiwara Kenji walked in from outside carrying a bag of snacks.
He placed the things on the coffee table, then casually pulled out a box of bear-shaped cookies and a juice and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Soft bread, did you get enough sleep?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan angrily took the cookie that Hagiwara Kenji tore open and handed to her: "Hmph!"
Kenji Hagiwara knew what Yomi Lai was angry about, so he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed: "Shall I massage your shoulders?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and puffed out his cheeks: "It's just a shoulder?"
Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help but chuckle: "How about giving your waist and legs a massage while you're at it?"
"Dream on!" Lai Chuan Huang Quan said angrily, shoving the biscuit in his hand into Hagiwara Kenji's mouth: "You're sleeping on the sofa today! No sleeping on the bed!"
"Huh~~?"
Kenji Hagiwara drawled out the last syllable, his eyebrows drooping as if he had been wronged.
"Soft bread~"
Her sweet voice was like fine wine, sweet but not cloying. Her vocal cords vibrated, her Adam's apple bobbed gently, and when Kenji Hagiwara lowered his voice to call out their nickname, the lingering tone made Yomi's heart flutter, and her tender breath enveloped her.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan turned around, his voice landing on Hagiwara Kenji's bobbing Adam's apple. She pursed her lips, inexplicably feeling an urge to go up and take a light bite.
"Soft bread~"
When Kenji Hagiwara softly murmured her name, it carried a hint of coquettishness.
"The sofa is so short, it's uncomfortable. I'll be sore all over when I wake up from a nap." Kenji Hagiwara looked aggrieved, but also put on a wise and considerate act. "But if it can make Softie happy, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
"I'll ask the hostess for an extra blanket later," Kenji Hagiwara paused briefly, then said with a troubled expression, "but this cruise ship has quite a few cabins, I don't know if there will be any extra spare blankets."
Upon hearing this, Lai Chuan Huang Quan stopped eating her cookie and stared at the bear-shaped cookie she was about to put in her mouth, looking conflicted. After a long while, she pouted and hesitated, "...Never mind, you can sleep in the bed tonight."
Kenji Hagiwara smiled, put his arm around Yomi Laichuan's waist and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap: "Softie loves me the most."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan, however, was not buying it: "Hands! Don't touch me!"
"Huh? I was just massaging the muscles of the soft bread."
"I don't believe you! You big liar!"
"Want to take a bath together? A hot bath can relax your muscles and relieve fatigue."
Lai Chuan and Huang Quan glanced at the large bathtub placed by the window and nodded. They were staying in a VIP suite this time, which, although only a second-class suite, still boasted a stunning sea view.
To allow customers to relax in the bathtub and enjoy the sea view, the designer placed the bathtub next to a fully transparent, balcony-like window, and even placed a table and a small, fixed TV close to the bathtub.
Hot water filled the bathtub, and blue bath salts rippled in the water. Kenji Hagiwara stepped in first, then lay down with Yomi Raikawa in his arms. He held the person in his arms, feeling the sea breeze blowing past his ears.
The two lay in the water for a while, when Kenji Hagiwara suddenly asked, "Does Softie like the sea?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan leaned relaxed against Hagiwara Kenji's chest, kicking her legs incessantly as she said, "I like it."
Kenji Hagiwara asked, "Have you ever thought about living somewhere with a view of the sea?"
"Hmm, but I've heard that living by the sea can easily lead to rheumatism. But if you're far from the sea, the view from your window becomes quite ordinary, and the sea view is just so-so."
"Then... a place where you can see Tokyo Tower?"
"Close up?"
"Hmm..."
Kenji Hagiwara suddenly felt a pang of regret and self-reproach. He realized he wasn't capable enough; there was absolutely no way he could afford a house with a close view of the Tokyo Tower right now.
After a moment's thought, Kenji Hagiwara asked, "What kind of living environment would a soft-bread person prefer? Something with a park nearby, a quiet environment, or something with schools and hospitals nearby, for convenient living?"
Kenji Hagiwara opened her eyes and looked up at the man who had his chin resting on her head: "Kenji, are you planning to buy a house?"
“Well,” Kenji Hagiwara didn’t put it too bluntly, “so I wanted to ask what kind of living environment you like.”
Before becoming an employee of the Administration Bureau, Lai Chuan Huang Quan was spoiled and pampered as a child. After becoming an employee of the Administration Bureau, she lived in all sorts of dirty and chaotic places.
She had experienced both the best and worst living conditions. As for her living environment, Yomi Laichuan's needs could be high or low. But considering Kenji Hagiwara's financial burden, she smiled and nuzzled his cheek: "As long as it's conveniently located and not too remote, it'll be fine."
Kenji Hagiwara understood Yomi's concerns perfectly well. He softened his gaze and slowly tightened his arms around Yomi: "Idiot soft bread."
"Um?"
I like you so much.
Kenji Hagiwara opened his mouth, but all the words caught in his throat. He remained silent for a few seconds before letting out a soft chuckle with a sigh: "Idiot."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan frowned in dissatisfaction: "I'm a genius who's been treated like a treasure by the professors in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tokyo University, and you actually call me an idiot."
"He's an idiot."
"I'm angry."
"Give me a kiss~"
"Hmm!"
An hour later, Lai Chuan Huang Quan, having just finished a bath, lay sullenly in bed, too tired to even move a finger. On the bedside table sat an open cookbook, densely filled with the dishes that the cruise ship's kitchen could provide.
Yomi Lai was hungry. She could have called, but she was in a bad mood, so she kicked the well-fed Kenji Hagiwara out and made him go to the restaurant and buy curry rice himself.
The only sound in the clean and tidy room was the sound of the waves. Lai Chuan Huang Quan sulked for a while, then peeked out from under the covers, deciding to take a quick shower while Hagiwara Kenji was away. She wrapped herself in a towel, refilled the bathtub with hot water, and slowly lay down inside.
The hot water soothed his muscles, easing the soreness slightly. Lai Chuan Huang Quan submerged the lower half of his face in the water, blowing bubbles, and inwardly grumbled that he wished he could turn into a dog.
Although when she first acquired this skill, she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and fight the administrator.
But now she desperately wants to become a little animal that can only be held in someone's palm.
...
The cruise ship was huge, and it took Kenji Hagiwara a full fifteen minutes to walk back to his room from the bar. He opened the door with the curry rice that Yomi had requested, but Yomi was nowhere to be seen.
"Did they go out...?"
Kenji Hagiwara thoughtfully put down his curry rice and casually dialed Yomi Rikawa's number, only to find her phone ringing under the covers.
Kenji Hagiwara frowned, but then suddenly heard a splashing sound of water. He hung up the phone, followed the sound to the bathtub, and then stared in astonishment, his eyes widening: "Soft bread!?"
In the bathtub, the familiar white puppy was wagging its tail and energetically paddling its four short legs, swimming around in the warm water. It wasn't that Lai Chuan Huang Quan didn't want to get out, but the water level was still quite a distance from the top of the bathtub, and she couldn't climb up after turning into a little dumpling.
Besides, even if she climbed up, she wouldn't be able to get down from such a height. She'd be better off just swimming in the bathtub and waiting for Kenji Hagiwara to come back and rescue her.
Seeing that Kenji Hagiwara had noticed her, Yomi Raikawa immediately stopped swimming and barked at Hagiwara, "Awooo!"
Kenji Hagiwara hesitated for a moment, then lifted Yomi Laichuan out of the water with one hand, dried her with a white towel, and began to blow-dry her wet fur.
Kenji Hagiwara laughed helplessly: "Didn't your mission already end? Why can you still turn into a puppy? I thought all your skills were taken away along with the body created by the Bureau."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan grabbed Hagiwara Kenji's fingers with her two front paws and started nibbling. She never expected that she could turn into a little dumpling. But if she had to figure out why, she could guess a few things.
When the Time and Space Administration withdrew, they only took what the Administration had given her, such as the skill of using a stun gun and her body with superhuman self-healing abilities. But the skill of turning into a puppy was secretly given to her by the Administration; it was a useless skill that the Time and Space Administration had discarded and was about to be thrown into the trash can for destruction.
Most importantly, the administrator circumvented the Time and Space Administration's oversight when gifting this skill to Yomi Laichuan. Therefore, when they took everything else, they overlooked this skill.
The white fur had been completely dried. Lai Chuan Huang Quan rolled around wildly on Hagiwara Kenji's chest, while the man lying on the bed looked troubled, resting his chin on his hand.
"Dogs shouldn't eat curry rice. Should I call the kitchen and have them send over some braised beef brisket?"
"Aww~!"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan wagged her tail and tilted her head, revealing an excited little expression. She rolled twice on Hagiwara Kenji's chest and stopped, then lay completely on his chest, becoming a lazy bum—even as a dog, her limbs were still incredibly sore.
Kenji Hagiwara sat up, and Yomi Laichuan rolled around a few times, her body tumbling from her firm chest muscles down to her abs and then down even further. She barked angrily at Kenji a few times, then climbed onto the soft mattress, lay flat in a straight line, and started to catch up on her sleep.
After calling the restaurant, Kenji Hagiwara poked Yomi Laichuan, who was burying her face in the bed and about to fall asleep, with his finger. The touch of his fingertip was soft. But Yomi Laichuan was unhappy. She whimpered and pushed away Hagiwara's fingers that were rubbing her chubby cheeks with her pink little paws.
Although he really wanted to tease this soft little dog, Kenji Hagiwara smiled and withdrew his hand: "I'll wake you up when the beef brisket arrives?"
"Aww~!"
Good afternoon, soft bread.
[Author's Note]
Huang Quan (proudly puffing out her chest): Hehe, you can't eat me now, can you?
Yan Er: (laughing but not saying anything)

Let me rest tomorrow, and I'll continue updating the day after tomorrow.
