Part 1

*Yawn*, so sleepy…

(Pulling an all-nighter for work and then going straight to class is way too exhausting… Time for a nap.)

……

……

(Oh, right. I’ve got a dog situation to deal with.)

It seems like tomorrow’s meeting is definitely going to last into the night. Could I ask you to take care of Shumai’s dinner and walk?

Renga has a photo shoot tomorrow too, so you’re the only one I can ask.

By the way, you can think of this as half an order from your president and half a favor for your roommate. …You’ll do it, right?

(Well, it’s fine I guess. Small price to pay to have the prez owe me one.)

(I’ll be looking forward to some good sake as a thank you, but for now…)

Wanna go for a walk, Shumai?

……

? A walk. You don’t wanna?

…Wafuu~?

(Huh? Talk about a weak reaction. I coulda sworn he’d happily wag his tail whenever Prez or Renga-san asked him.)

……

(Now that I think about it, I think the prez said something about this…)

I’ll put some jerky treats in this walking bag. Shumai loves them.

If anything happens, use them as a secret weapon!

Look, your favorite. Let’s go on that walk.

Wahon ♪

(...Dogs are so easy.)

(Well, he’ll probably be satisfied if we just go a lap around this area. I’ll take a nap when I get back, and then maybe go out for some drinks.)

Wafu, wafu.

This way next.

……

……

…………

(Huh? He sat down all of a sudden…?)

Wafufun…

(Why’re you making yourself at home in the middle of the street? I don’t get it.)

We’re in the middle of the road. C’mon, this way.

…Fuu~?

Shumai, treat.

Wafu~.

(Wait, don’t roll over. It doesn’t look like your secret weapon is working anymore, Prez.)

Mommy~! That doggy’s lying on his back~!

Uhm excuse me! Can I snap a pic? You’re like, super hot, and your pom is sooo cute!

Ahh, sorry. I’m not good with pictures.

(What a pain, people are starting to gather. Guess my only choice is to grab the dog and run…)

Oh, it's Shumai-chan!

(...Hm?)
