Cerberus was holding his breath.
There were two main reasons why he, a demon dog breed called “Guard Dog of Hell”, would want to erase his presence.
The first, would be to hunt prey.
Kill your presence, approach your victim, and strike at the opportunity.
Although he was domesticated, his instinct as a demon dog hadn’t dulled.
The second, is when he is being hunted.
In other words, to run from those who are hunting him.
The latter was the reason why Cerberus was holding his breath in this case.
The basement of a large mansion.
In a seemingly abandoned storage room, where things were kept untidily.
There was a space big enough, as if inviting someone to hide, so Cerberus shrunk himself and hid in it.
“””Bau…”””
How could this have happened…
Cerberus couldn’t help but ask himself that.
My previous owner was a troublesome demon who always complained about his work.
After that guy got dismissed from the demon army, I fortunately got a new owner.
That too a female one…
She used to sometimes visit my previous owner’s place and despite being a dog, I couldn’t help but think she had a sexy body.
The female master kindly welcomed me when I suddenly came to the mansion.
Even if I was slightly perverted, she always forgave me while laughing.
Nevertheless…
Nevertheless…
How could this have happened…?! (2nd time)
“Cerberu~s. Snackti~me…”
Cerberus shivered, hearing the voice of his owner.
His primal instincts were telling him to be scared.
He couldn’t even swallow his spit, since his throat was so dry.
Finally, his female owner enters the basement storage room.
“Hmm? He isn’t here either…”
Her voice could be heard clearly.
Cerberus kept himself hidden.
His heart was beating loud enough, for him to wish it would stop.
He could only pray to not be found.
“Mou, just where could he have gone? The barrier isn’t broken so he couldn’t have gone outside…”
The female owner’s presence starts to recede.
She seems to have given up searching this place.
Cerberus strokes his chest in relief.
Gurururuuuuu…
That was the sound of his stomach.
In a way, this was inevitable.
After all, he hadn’t had a single decent meal since he came here.
However, this was the beginning of his hell…
“Cerberus, found youuu~~~”
Before he knew it, the female owner’s smiling face was right in front of him.
She raises the heavy Cerberus in her arms as if he weighed nothing.
“Mou! You’re all dusty now! I’ll have to shampoo you later.”
“””Ba, bau…”””
Cerberus nodded as hard as he could.
He hated shampoo, but he could start loving it now.
In fact, he could live in the bathtub for the rest of his life.
However—
Gugyuuuuu…
His stomach rumbles mercilessly.
Cerberus froze, as if he had received Cockatrice’s* petrifying stare.
“Ara… you must be hungry. That reminds me, Cerberus. Haven’t you gotten thinner lately? You look much lighter than before. Stuffing yourself is bad for health, but starving isn’t good either.”
No no! That’s not it!!
Cerberus shakes his heads with all his might, but it was too late.
Since she was already holding a pile of dog food on a plate.
No, calling it that was an insult to dog food.
An odor that pierces the nose.
A haphazard appearance.
More importantly, A strange voice could be heard from it.
This wasn’t dog food, it was a sort of biological weapon.
Such a description was a hundred times more appropriate.
In the first place, it was questionable to even call it edible.
Nevertheless, this woman was right now–
“Here, A~~~~~an…”
With an annoying voice, about to stuff that food into Cerberus’ mouth.
Cerberus tried escaping, but true to her title of Heavenly King, she was scary strong.
“Bau (I will eat it).”
Finally, Cerberus’ left head declares so, and raises its head.
“”Bau (Are you sure? If you eat that…)””
“Bau (Someone has to sacrifice himself. If that’s the case…)”
“B-bau (N-no, I’ll eat it instead)”
This time the right head tries to sacrifice itself, and raises its head.
Seeing its noble figure, the middle Cerberus cries out.
“Bau! Baa! (No! I’ll eat it!)”
“”Bau bau (Go ahead, go ahead)””
“Bau (What the hell)!!””
“Hm? Does middle Ceberus want the first bite?”
“B-bau (N-no)…”
Paku—
“Gyahihihiiiiii—!!!!”
A sad howl echoes inside Luviana’s mansion.
