The puppy wearing a green headgear sat obediently on the stool.
Across half the table, the frog looked at it carefully and asked: [What do you mean by 'not quite the same'? ]
What is different is that you are a frog, but your dad is a dog.
Hojo Natsuki hinted: [I told you before, can you recall? ]
The frog looked serious, as if lost in memories, and then began to suck its fingers again.
Hojo Natsuki poked its hand, and the white puppy in the picture put its paw on Frog's arm.
[Natsuki]: Don’t eat your fingers
[Gin]：…
The frog was speechless and put down its claws.
Perhaps it was the sudden appearance of the puppy Boss that successfully made its mood a little brighter. It no longer pursued the matter of Hojo Natsuki raising cats and fish outside, and even explained its thumb sucking behavior.
[Gin]: Just holding up my chin
[Gin]：No
Hojo Natsuki realized: "Well, I'm sorry, Qinwa, you're trying to quibble."
Unfortunately, it is clearly visible on the screen, there is no point in quibbling!
The frog shook off the puppy Boss's claws and dragged the stool to the side awkwardly, creating a little distance.
After a moment, it calmly asked: [Can I pick it? ]
Natsuki: Yes.
After his message was sent, the white puppy in the picture nodded seriously.
The frog stood up and looked down at the dog sitting on the stool, as if he was doing psychological preparation. After a while, he stretched out his green claws and grabbed the top of the sad frog's mask.
It actually moved very quickly, but Hojo Natsuki felt inexplicably nervous, so the frog's movements slowed down unconsciously in his eyes.
If the frog found out that his daddy was a dog, would he feel disappointed and think that he was just a gift for recharging his phone bill
No, Qinwa is such a smart and conscienceless little quack, it will definitely accept it well; but will it decide to leave the organization like some rich second-generations in real life, go out on its own, try to start from scratch, and prove its ability? Will it...
In a flash, the frog had already taken off the green sad frog headgear.
The frog stopped moving.
The little face turned from green to black.
[[Frog] thinks you are teasing it, favorability -10]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -13]
Hojo Natsuki: “?!”
how come?!
I overestimated the lyre frog. I thought it was such a calm and knowledgeable little frog that it could accept its daddy's species in a second!
The frog threw away the sad frog's headgear and stretched out its claws to pull the dog's head. It was merciless, and the white puppy was grimacing as it was pulled. When the skin and flesh rebounded, pink marks appeared on its face, representing the claw marks.
It tried again, using great force, as if trying to twist Boss's head off.
Failed again.
After the failure, the favorability level was immediately increased by jumping off the building.
[[Qinwa] is angry, favorability -20]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -33]
Still deducting!
[Warm reminder] [Dear players, please be honest and friendly with your quack]
[Warm reminder] [The [Frog] doesn't get angry, but don't treat it as a fool! ]
Hojo Natsuki: “?”
Is this game sick
He felt that he was wronged and began to type and explain: [I told you a long time ago, I am different from you, I am actually a dog! ]
[Natsuki]: Why are you like this? I've already had the vaccination.
The frog saw the message on the phone and was obviously in a bad mood. It didn't even bother to reply with a "..." and crossed its arms alone. It turned around and faced the player with its back. Only its silver hair and the black hat covering its back could be seen.
From this angle, you can see its puffy cheeks, like a little frog balloon.
Hojo Natsuki couldn't help but poked.
The white puppy raised its paw to touch Gua Gua's face, but just as its paw was raised, Gua Gua's quick eyes and hands ruthlessly slapped it down.
Hojo Natsuki: “?!”
Damn it, I’m not allowed to touch it!
The puppy's eyes suddenly showed signs of aggrieved, and his facial features, which were drawn with simple strokes, looked like he was about to cry but wasn't.
Unfortunately, Gua's heart was as hard as iron. The frog turned a blind eye and was not moved by it.
After a while, the frog seemed to have lost its temper. It stood up, picked up the puppy by the scruff of its neck, and walked to the door in two or three steps. I don't know where a small frog got so much strength. It held a dog in one paw, and it looked effortless.
The frog let go and the dog fell to the ground instantly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" and the door was closed by the frog!
This cold-blooded quack actually kicked out its daddy, who was also its immediate boss! How dare it!
Hojo Natsuki widened his eyes, and after a moment of stunned silence, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Of course, he would not let Qin Wa have an easy time. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go back to the house to teach his son a lesson. He had already thought of a few questions to ask him - it is said that a son will never dislike his father, so how could Qin Wa's character be so corrupted! He must be taught a lesson.
Before he could do anything, the small wooden door that was tightly closed was pushed open a crack.
Hojo Natsuki: “?!”
This is…
Understood.
Qinwa was tormented by his conscience for doing this unfilial act in a moment of impulse. He had just kicked his father out of the house, but now he regretted it and was ready to ease the relationship between father and son.
It doesn't matter. Hojo Natsuki thought tolerantly. Who made me a tolerant player
He was also wrong in hiding the identity of the Boss; as long as Qinwa said something, he would go down the stairs.
The gap in the door stopped at the width of a frog's claw. Half a second later, the Qin Frog threw out the Sad Frog Headgear.
"boom!"
It slammed the door again.
The green sad frog mask hit the corridor wall, rolled twice on the ground, and slowly stopped. A pair of big sad frog eyes stared at the ceiling with their eyes wide open.
Hojo Natsuki was shocked: "?"
What's going on? This is too disrespectful! !
Although it is not surprising that the frog did such a thing, it is too unfilial! !
The puppy Boss in the picture picked up the headgear and put it back on his head. The corners of the sad frog's mouth drooped, creating an effect that was both funny and sad.
The puppy looked left and right, with its chin resting on its paws, and slowly curled up into a white fur ball at the door of the frog's home.
This posture means it is in standby mode, waiting for the player's next instruction.
But it really looks a bit like a little licker who can't get love!
Kotowa is cruel, and Hojo Natsuki is also cruel.
He thought with great disdain: "I'll deal with you when I get back from get off work."
Then switch back to the home page and forget to close the game application, leaving it running in the background.
Hojo Natsuki checked out and looked up at the decoration of the old hotel again, remembering its name. He turned and went into a restaurant not far away, had a quick dinner, and bought an iced Americano.
He was wearing a long windbreaker, a slim-fitting shirt and a thin sweater, which should be enough to keep out the cold. But as Hojo Natsuki sat in the office, he felt cold all over, as if he was lying on the floor, and he couldn't help shivering.
Hojo Natsuki opened the office door and turned to ask the assistant sitting outside: "Sanae, do you feel cold?"
Assistant Sanae smiled and stood up: "A little bit, shall I turn on the air conditioner?"
"No need." Hojo Natsuki knew that she was just taking care of herself and felt depressed. "Did the temperature suddenly drop tonight?"
The assistant said politely, "It is a little colder than during the day."
In him
My body was not just a little cold, it was as if autumn had turned into winter.
In order to maintain his image in front of his assistant, Hojo Natsuki returned to his desk in silence, trembling as he reviewed documents.
While he was working diligently, "Travel Frog" on the background of his mobile phone was also running independently.
The puppy was still lying at the door of Qinwa's house, wearing the ridiculous sad frog mask, looking droopy. It had been squatting in this cold corridor for several hours.
"Ha-chiu!"
The puppy sneezed.
"Ah-sneeze!"
Hojo Natsuki, who was sitting in the office, also sneezed.
Damn, it’s really cold!
It’s unreasonably cold!
Hojo Natsuki bowed his head to the cold, no longer able to maintain his masculine image, and walked to the door again, saying to his assistant, "Turn on the air conditioner and turn up the temperature."
He was so busy with the task at hand that he certainly didn't think about the little game running in the background.
The central air conditioner started up, and the fan blades continuously delivered hot air, finally reducing the shivering cold a little.
However, there was still a chill that could not be driven away, making Hojo Natsuki feel cold in this warm office.
After he finished processing the last document, he suddenly realized: "Oh no, I'm not going to get sick again, am I?"
In this Port Mafia where everyone is a master of taijutsu, the Hojo cadres are far weaker in terms of physical fitness. Drinking too much iced American coffee will cause stomachache, being exposed to cold wind too much will cause headache, and catching a cold will happen when the seasons change.
These kinds of physical weakness are just "easy to catch a cold" in the world of ordinary people, but in the other world where fighting and killing are common, they become rare species. And this rare species works with a group of strong gorillas, often unable to find its position, and thinks that it has become a gorilla, with a strong body and can withstand wind and rain.
As for the consequences, only the world in which Hojo Natsuki was injured was achieved.
The air conditioner was on in the car, but Officer Hojo still shivered secretly all the way.
Before entering the house, the cold had turned into a headache, so Hojo Natsuki drank the hot cold medicine, took the antipyretic medicine and fever patch, wrapped himself in the quilt, and then prayed that the fever would not be too high because he had a very important meeting tomorrow.
He still couldn't understand why everything was normal during the day, but since he walked out of the hotel, he suddenly felt cold all over as if he had been cursed.
Could it be that there is a 'cursed spirit' formed by resentment in that hotel, and once you are touched by its resentment, you will get sick
Supernatural powers and cursed powers cannot be lumped together. Hojo Natsuki did not have a very good understanding of this power system, and after making random guesses, he convinced himself that the blame should be placed on the non-existent cursed spirit.
Soon after, I felt even colder, both cold and hot.
He took his temperature and found that he had a fever.
Hojo Natsuki resigned himself to his fate by putting on the fever-reducing patch, taking medicine with warm water, plugging his phone into a charger, and then closing his eyes and going to sleep.
He wasn't looking at his phone, so he still didn't notice that the game was still running in the background.
The puppy lying on the floor huddled into a shivering ball of white, with light, intermittent “Woof… Woo…” coming out of its throat, sounding extremely uncomfortable.
The door that had been closed for a long time was finally pushed open again by the frog.
Through the crack in the door, the frog looked down at the puppy, as if trying to judge whether it was really feeling uncomfortable or pretending to be sick to gain sympathy.
After a moment, it put down its paw that was stuck on the goal line, squatted down and patted the frog mask on the puppy's head.
But the puppy didn't move.
The frog's expression was clearly not yet calm, and at the same time, there was a hint of barely detectable worry, which made its angry expression very awkward.
It stopped in a squatting position, hesitated for a moment, and then, as if making a huge concession, reluctantly opened the door, picked up the dog, and carried it back into the house.
Hojo Natsuki, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness as if his whole body was suspended in the air, as if he had woken up from a dream.
"Am I going to ascend to heaven?" he thought dazedly and with a little fear.
The medicine has not yet started to take effect and the body temperature is very high. This is the most difficult stage.
Hojo Natsuki
I felt dizzy and cold even under the thick blanket. I didn't know where I was and it was difficult for me to even recognize the reading light hanging above my head.
He closed his eyes, in a state of half sleep and half wakefulness. It seemed like a long time had passed, but he had lost the concept of time.
In a trance, Hojo Natsuki saw hallucinations again.
The silver-haired young man sat beside his bed, hugged his shoulders, and looked down at him.
Compared to the phantom he saw last time, his appearance had changed a lot. The softness that still remained in his youth had completely faded from him. Hojo Natsuki's eyes widened and he first noticed the tip and outline of his nose. The sharp angle of his jaw made the lines of his face look like he was looking down on her.
The room was dim, and his pale skin reminded people of the vampires who hid during the day and came out at night. He exuded an unexplainable coldness, which made his condescending green eyes look even colder, as if he was a wolf watching its prey.
He seemed angry, yet also helpless and bewildered.
Hojo Natsuki made this judgment.
—But he didn't know this person at all.
This silver-haired man who suddenly appeared, with the word "danger" written all over his body and his cold attitude, looked quite scary.
As usual, Hojo Natsuki had to be on guard and adopt an attitude of defending against the enemy... But he was inexplicably relaxed, as if he had met someone he had known for a long time and trusted very much, so he didn't raise his guard.
The other person reached out his hand and covered the corner of the quilt for him.
Hojo Natsuki opened his eyes a little and thought slowly—
Hmm... why are you still angry
Comfort me
He was delirious with fever, his head was dizzy, and his brain had difficulty controlling his body. He didn't even know whether this was reality or a dream.
So, before his consciousness gave the order, his body moved first.
It’s like the brain hasn’t yet remembered the route home, but the moment the idea comes to mind, the legs and feet have already set out on the journey home.
Hojo Natsuki moved his arms, stretched one hand out from under the quilt, and used his index and middle fingers to "walk" slowly on the bed, "walking" on the back of the silver-haired man's hand that was resting on the edge of the bed.
The other party suddenly froze and didn't move.
Xia Shu bent her index finger, flexed her knuckles, and made a "kneeling on one knee" begging gesture on the back of the man's cool palm.
"Don't be angry." He muttered softly.
Time and the silver-haired man's breathing both froze at this moment.
After a second or two, the other party's delayed reaction finally recovered. As if he had been electrocuted, he quickly pulled his hand back alertly, as if he was about to flee.
Then, don't forget to tuck his arms back into the quilt.
He is so fierce.
Hojo Natsuki sniffed and fell asleep again.
