Episode 157. Heavy front feet, light hind feet (2)
* * *
The dog that had been talking so far looked up at me and added in a low tone.
“I think I finally have it. A firm determination….”
But honestly, it was a decision I didn’t really want to agree to. If I told him I was moving the store, he’d definitely follow me, given his personality, so there’d be no reason for me to stay here, right?
It’s the same even if you say you won’t follow, because the ending is obvious.
Because he already has the power. He was the guy who went to propose a final discussion to the Black Wind faction that had become violent due to the Gate influence before, but ended up skipping the discussion and ending it. But still… .
“Do you really have to go that far?”
You should listen to this guy’s story too. I’ve also had a history of interrupting him in the middle of a conversation and just pouring out my feelings, which made him feel more discouraged than necessary.
When asked, the puppy nodded without hesitation and looked back.
Jindo dog, poodle, Sapsaree dog, and Malamute. These four dogs came out of the bathroom and looked at us. Their fur was matted and their faces were pale and gaunt.
“… The Lord of Jindo was a great help to me when I first settled in this park. He told me about several sunny spots.”
“hmm….”
“Whenever the Poodle Master couldn’t get food for his own dog, he would always share half of his food with him. He and the Sapsaree Master became close because they had each other’s hair covering their eyes, making it difficult for them to see…”
Mr. Malamute showed me how to make him fluffy by layering several sheets of newspaper on top of each other, and he said he learned a lot from me. If he hadn’t received help, he would have given up on being a stray a long time ago.
“I must repay the kindness I received from them.”
“I have to pay it back?”
“That’s right. I don’t want to pay it back. I have to pay it back. Only then can I be proud of myself under the night sky and in front of the boss.”
As he spoke, he stared intently at my back. When I turned around, I saw a dozen or so Dobermans standing side by side on the lawn in the distance, looking in my direction.
“So please watch over me, sir. This time, I will settle things with these guys for sure.”
Then, the puppy passes between my legs and faces the Black Wind Sect guys. Honestly, I don’t think it’ll end up like a settlement, but I’m glad I don’t get run over by those guys’ front paws and end up like a toy…
“…Hey, puppy.”
“Go ahead, sir.”
“I won’t stop you this time, but before that, please do me one favor.”
An idea has come to mind. I don’t know if it will work out, but it worked out well in the sewer, so I think it will work out well this time too.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t just start fighting, try talking to me first. If you can’t communicate at all, then you can kick my front paw or bite my ear, whatever you want.”
“That’s… the authors are already so angry that… .”
“Oh well, pretend you’re being fooled and give it a try. We’ll be over there for a bit.”
There is a bench not far away where you can watch this place. I took Hana by the hand and led her to the bench and sat her down next to me. Only then did Hana open her mouth.
“Hey, sir. Is this idiot trying to fight with other idiots?”
The tone of the situation itself was incomprehensible, and to be honest, I was the same way. I came here to tell that guy that the store was moving, and how did things end up like this?
“I think so.”
“Don’t wear it. You little punk, you’re going to get seriously hurt….”
“It won’t hurt too badly or anything. Probably.”
That is, if things go as planned. The Black Wind Sect members who were looking down at the puppy from the top of the grassy hill began to slowly approach the puppy.
The Black Wind gang naturally surrounded the dog, skipping over the sign that said, “No Pedestrians Allowed.” After that, a guy who was presumed to be the Black Wind gang walked out to the center… .
After standing in front of the dog, he barked in a mumbling tone.
“Woof. Woof.”
What are you talking about?
At the black wind’s barking, the puppy lowered its head for a moment, then raised it again and answered.
“… Of course I remember. If you appeared before my eyes again, I said I wouldn’t leave you alone.”
I guess the barking I just heard meant something like, ‘Didn’t I warn you?’
After that, the sound of dogs barking and the sound of a puppy’s voice continued to alternate, but since I am not fluent in either language, I could only indirectly infer the flow of the conversation. So… .
“Grrr… .”
“I remember that too. But don’t you know! In this harsh and dangerous world, we all have to work together to survive―”
“Woof! Woof!”
“You are mistaken! Nothing in the world is useless. Just as you have sharp teeth and long legs, my dog also has a lot of fur that is nice to stroke!”
“month?”
“Don’t pretend not to know. I know what happened to you at the campsite. You were drawn to the smell of grilled meat, and you looked up at the tourists with longing eyes!”
As soon as Mongmongi said this, the Black Wind Sect members surrounding Mongmongi started to stir without exception. ‘Hey, the leader was begging for meat without telling us?’ It must mean something like that.
“Wah! Krrrr… Woof! Woof!”
The black wind bastard seemed to have hit the nail on the head, and he approached the puppy and bared his teeth while making a threatening howl. However, the puppy did not give in at all.
“But! Your efforts did not bear fruit! The girl who was grilling the meat cried that your teeth were too sharp! The girl’s father came and kicked you out!”
“Wol, grrr… .”
“If you think about it a little, you’ll understand. That’s because I also smelled the meat and went looking for it. Do you know what the girl said to me at that time?”
“… … .”
“Wow, kid, did you come here because you smelled meat? Yes, I did. I shared the meat with the others and it was delicious. It was really delicious.”
I wondered what on earth I was hearing, but since I had talked to MongMong quite a few times, I could guess the flow of the conversation. First of all… .
Dobermans have a pretty scary appearance. If you meet one on a leash on the street, it’s scary, so how scary would it be if they were off-leash and living in a pack?
On the other hand, Pomeranians and poodles are top class in terms of preference for pets. Malamutes are also quite popular despite their hair problems, and Sapsaree and Jindo dogs are eternal friends of rural elders.
I think this is what Mongmongi is arguing about. To summarize it in one line, ‘You guys have no choice but to dig through the trash, but we can go and ask for it ourselves and get it. It’s cute. Aren’t you jealous?’
“You are saying that in exchange for your strength and jumping power, you lose your hugging power and fur. Look at those teeth, those claws. Which tourist would look at you cutely and give you meat without any hesitation?”
“Grrr… .”
“Now, I can guess why you, Black Wind, hate us.”
“… … .”

The fierce atmosphere died down, and the black wind became a figure listening to the dog’s words.
I didn’t expect this outcome when I suggested this conversation, but things seem to be going well. Now if only Mongmongi would speak a little better… .
“You… didn’t you envy our fur? As a short-haired large dog, there’s no other way to survive on these streets than to squash other dogs. And you can’t let your fur grow out either—”
Isn’t that a bit of a misplaced pint?
I thought the conversation would go off on a tangent, but it seems that Black Wind took the dog’s words completely differently. Black Wind barked with an incredibly fierce barking sound, as if its tail had been stepped on.
“Wol! Wol! Wol!!”
He struck the puppy’s face with his raised front paw, bit its entire body, and threw it to the side. The puppy rolled around on the floor a couple of times and lay flat on its stomach, crying out in a voice full of resentment.
“Kang! No, why on earth!!”
I think I know why. When I was in high school, when someone with thin hair teased me for being bald, my reaction was exactly like that. I can’t say it’s exactly the same, but… .
“Wall! Woof woof!”
“Kurrrrrr!! Boom!”
“Wall! Wall!”
Judging by the fact that the Black Wind Sect’s bastards are barking with their eyes wide open at the same time, it seems that being hairless is an insult on par with being bald, if not bald.
“Awww-!!”
“Aww—!”
The black wind looked up at the sky and howled, and the dogs joined in. About four of them rushed to the puppy and crushed its body with their front paws.
The remaining ten or so dogs ran into the men’s bathroom and a little while later, they came out dragging four others with their necks and tails in their mouths.
“Kkiing… kiing, keung…!”
“Kang! Kyaeng!”
“Stop… stop, stop! This has nothing to do with them!”
The dog, crushed by the front paws, cried out pitifully, but the ones with their eyes spinning around wouldn’t listen. At this point, one of them pulled at my collar and asked,
“Sir, sir. I guess I didn’t tell you the story about the fool very well.”
“That’s right… .”
“If you keep doing that, you might get hurt!”
“… Just wait a minute, Hana.”
I didn’t think things would work out that easily, but I never dreamed that it would turn into such a mess. But it’s dangerous to just get involved without any preparation…
After thinking about it for a moment, I searched for an app on my phone and downloaded it. While I was waiting for the installation to complete, the situation was getting even more chaotic.
“Woof! Woof!”
“Ha, don’t do that! Even shedding hair is difficult for the old man now! It would be better to use real hair…!”
“Wol, wol, wol! Wol!”
“Stop! Please! I want you to stop! Please…!”
Four of the Black Wind Sect’s puppies mercilessly crushed the struggling puppy’s torso, tail, and legs, while the other two brought the puppy in front of the puppy’s eyes while biting the scruff of its neck.
And then he presses down on you in the same way. It’s like, ‘Your presumptuous behavior is causing harm to others, it’s all your fault—’
“This is a really shitty situation.”
It was my fault for telling you to talk. Of course, that wouldn’t be easy… .
As I looked at my phone, a message appeared saying that the downloaded application had been installed. I ran it and was about to open the desired item and manipulate it.
“I told you… to stop…!”
I felt a little dizzy. I looked up at the dog and saw something swaying near the dog. To be exact, near the dog’s mouth.
“Didn’t I tell you to stop!!”
At this shout, all the Black Wind Wave dogs ‘stopped.’
If you tell them to stop in this situation, wouldn’t they usually put down their front paws that are holding them or let go of their neck that they are biting?
But that’s not it. It froze as if it was still in the position where it was pressing down on its front paw and biting its neck. The dog that actually did the deed seemed to have no idea what was going on, and just kept muttering as if it was putting everything that came to mind in its mouth.
“Please move these front paws away, and also let go of the nape of the neck!!”
At this shout, the Black Wind Sect’s men removed their front paws with a sharp movement and released the grip on the nape of their necks. Now free, the puppy stood on all fours, shook off its fur, and continued to shout.
“I can’t stand it anymore, everyone. Listen carefully!!”
