136. Guard dog (frightened)




 I told Cerberus to go play in the mansion and this time I used Quicksilver to increase Emily's abilities as well.
 After doing the same twenty times as Cerberus did, I checked with the portable now boat.

Dexterity D (+1)
Luck A (+1)
--------- ...

Oh, I see.
It's happening.

 Looking at the abilities, Emily and I had the same convinced feeling.
 Emily, who had HP, strength and stamina at A in her original ability at Kando. Those three were neatly out of the ups. The rest of them had gone up by 1 properly.

'It's not a coincidence, it's a quirk.
Yes, S is only Yoda, after all.
'And I'm sure Quicksilver was the magic that existed in this world in the first place.

 The magic I've learned so far is also powerful, Resurrection, which grants the user's drop rate to a single monster, and Repetition, which defeats a monster once defeated unconditionally (but MP consumption is dependent on strength).
 Those are powerful, but they are all magic that existed originally in this world.
 This Quicksilver will be the same, so it won't deviate from the reason that originally existed -- the highest A.

But it's enough.
'Well, if it's no cost and a step up in all but A, there's not much to say.

 We checked out the new magic and were very happy with the results.
 Suddenly, it started to rain outside the window, drizzling and drizzling.
 It was a passing shower, or maybe it was just an instant dullness outside, and then a downpour so heavy that it caused a waterfall to run down the window.

It's raining ...... and Yoda is still amazing.
Hm? I don't know what the hell that was,
'Even in this rain, I can get home from the dungeon without getting wet. It's all thanks to Yoda.
Yeah.

 I thought to myself, "I see.
 Until a while ago, I would get drenched as hard as I could when coming back from a dungeon at a time like this, and it would take me a long time to wait for it, but that's not the case now.
 On the contrary.

I'm home! I'm home! It's raining.

 I heard Alice's voice from outside the room.

'You didn't recognize it in the dungeon, and you didn't realize it was raining until you got back?
Yes!
That's certainly handy. Besides,
And?
'If we're as far away as Aulum, there's a chance it's not raining. Yeah, if we spread it out more from now on, we can go wherever we want, whenever we want, in whatever weather we want.
It's a wonderful thing!

 Emily's eyes light up as she clasps her hands together.
 Suddenly, it's us who discover the new possibilities of the transporter room in the street rain.

'What!'
Mwah!

 For a moment, we are horrified.
 A terrible chill runs up our spine.

 The murderous atmosphere.

 In an instant, our faces change and we run out of the room and head towards the murderous atmosphere.
 We arrived in front of the transporter room, where Eve and Cerberus were facing each other.

 As usual, Eve's face was expressionless, while Cerberus was down (and still large) in a threatening pose.

 It was Cerberus who was sending a chill down my spine.

'Doggie, what the hell?'
"I am my master's watchdog. I will defeat all of my master's enemies.
'The rabbit is the rabbit of the house. He eats all the carrots in the house.

 Eve's dialogue was distracting, but despite that, the tension between them grew.
 It's a touchy feely, and if they don't, I'll see blood.
 Well, we can stop it. Cerberus is only trying to eliminate an unknown foreign enemy as a guard dog, so I can stop him.

 I tried to stop Cerberus, remembering the strength of the killing intent, and that's whenーーthen I tried to stop Cerberus.

 Click! Rumblings. .......

 There was a glow outside the window and a moment's delay, followed by a roar of thunder.
 The lightning struck, the time difference between the sounds was less than a second, so it was pretty close.

 That's fine, but it's more than that.
 The moment the lightning struck, Cerberus threw the enemy (Eve) out of the way and ran in reverse.
 Then, as if to get under the desk, he rammed into Emily.

 Little Emily, Cerberus' huge body.
 Our guard dog curled up his body and tail and plunged under Emily, but from the side, he looked like he had Emily on his back.

Cerberus: "Cerberus: ......
"--Ha! I'm not afraid of you. I'm my master's guard dog and I'm not afraid of thunder!
I haven't told you anything.
Haha!

 Cerberus digs a grave without permission and blushes grandly when it is pointed out to him.

"More than that, insolent intruder, prepare--

 The killing spirit of the enemy (Eve) glaring at it again was still spine-chilling and reliable, though.

 Click! Rumble rumble .......

Kyanin!

 I start screaming and rattling and shaking when lightning strikes.
 Dependable and not so dependable.

'Alright, I'm not afraid,'

 Plunged in and consequently placed on her back, Emily gently stroked Cerberus.
 With the tenderness of a compassionate mother, Cerberus' trembling gradually subsided.

'What was that?'

 Eve asked.

'This is Cerberus, who will be our guard dog from today.
...... dog?
It's a dog.
Then it's okay. Dogs eat bones. They're not enemies of rabbits.

 Dogs are omnivores and should be able to eat carrots if they wanted to, I thought, but I didn't tell them.

 Three times, lightning strikes.
 Cerberus is pathetically frightened and Emily pets him gently.

'I wonder what would happen if I threw a cocrosse lime (cockroach) in there.
'Stop kidding me, it's going to be a hell of a ride.

 While nailing Eve, I look at Emily and Cerberus, who has missed her.
 Celeste and Alice return afterwards, and Elsa, who heard the commotion and came over.

 He brings Cerberus and his friends together and declares that Cerberus has learned everyone's scent.

 And so, a reliable guard dog was added to our house.
