Chapter 102: New companion with a small quirk

Chapter 102: New companion with a small quirk

(Ryoto's pov)

It looked slightly different than the last one. This time, one figure started forming inside, and just like last time, it wasn't human. It stood on fourths and was 40 cm high.

...

It looked like ordinary Shiba Inu... but he held a wooden bat in his mouth.

Is that who I think it is?

The dog looked at me curiously and sat down, waiting for something.

Ryoto: "Ahhhh, right. I should probably name you."

Dog: "Woof!"

Ryoto: "I'm not good at naming (ask Karen), so I'll use your help to decide it, alright?"

Dog: "Woof!"

It looks like he understands me, so I can guess that he is relatively intelligent.

Ryoto: "How about Cupcake?"

Hearing my proposition, he started to whimper.

Ryoto: "Yeah, I know. Not only not original, but also it doesn't suit you. I mean, you're sweet and all, but you don't look like Cupcake."

Dog: "Grr!"

Ryoto: "If I knew you wouldn't like it, why did I propose it, you ask? Well, we all need to start somewhere. Now we have the worst out the way, and we can only go up."

Dog: "Woof!"

Ryoto: "I know it wasn't the worst, but I didn't want to be disrespectful to the good boy that you are. By the way, I want to compliment you for barking so clearly even while holding a bat."

Dog: "Woof, Woof!"

Ryoto: "Years of practice tend to do that to you, huh?"

I started thinking about a perfect name, and my eyes wandered to the bat.

Ryoto: "How about Utsu?"

(A/N Utsu in Japanese means 'to strike' or 'to hit')

His eyes sparkled, and he started running around me.

Dog: "Woof Woof Woof!!!!"

Ryoto: "I see that you like it. Then from now on, your name will be Utsu."

Use: "Woof, Woof!"

Ryoto: "Now that we're done with the problem of your name, we should return to my classroom. The lesson will start soon, and since you don't know the way home, you'll accompany me today."

Use: "Woof!"

Ryoto: "What do you mean you will fulfill your purpose in this school? Please don't bring trouble to me. I alone do enough of that myself."

Ryoto: "...Do I look like a genie to you?"

Risa: "Can you turn blue?"

Ryoto: "I don't think so."

Risa: "Can you fly?"

Ryoto: "No... maybe... to be honest, I don't know. I didn't try it, but I could keep myself in the air for a short period at best."

Risa: "...I didn't expect that answer, but the last question. Can you grant me one wish?"

Ryoto: "Depending on the wish. If you wanted to get taller, you would be better asking Lala."

Risa: "Would it work?"

Ryoto: "Probably, but there is a possibility that you'll end up shorter than before."

Poor Kaede, she was traumatized.

Risa didn't comment on what I just said but looked me right into my eyes.

Risa: "I won't ask anything unreasonable, and you can even reject it if you want. Just promise me that you'll think about it seriously when the times come."

Ryoto: "If it's only that, then it's not a problem."

Risa smiled widely.

Risa: "That's great then!'

She slapped my ass as she retreated to her seat as the class would start soon, but her mood was visibly better.

(Saki's pov)

Rin: "...Today, Ryoto Yuuki found a dog, and from my observations, he named it Utsu. Strangely the dog is carrying a baseball bat in his mouth the whole time... And that concludes today's report."

Rin just gave me my daily report about Ryoto-sama. Observing him will allow me to create a plan to steal him away from Lala, and it's already paying off. I know that he likes dogs and maybe other animals as well. I can test it later.

Aya: "Um, Saki-sama? Do we really need to spy on Yuuki? We could just walk up to him and ask, and he probably would answer most of the questions."

Rin: "I disagree. I don't know why but he seems different than usual."

Saki: "Rin is right..."

I said, fully serious.

Saki: "He looks even more majestic than usual!"

I put my hands on both of my cheeks, remembering him. Today, in particular, Ryoto-sama has the air of an emperor around him.

My face reddened thinking about him, but first, I needed to focus on the plan.

Saki: "*Cough* *cough* We'll continue observing Ryoto-sama and slowly prepare a stage where he and I will be together at last. Ohohohoho!"

The Christmas party will be perfect this year.
