Episode 5

“Yes?”

“Well, it’s nothing major. She’s going to be kicked out of the family anyway since her Sacred Mark didn’t appear, right?”

“Yes, that’s what I heard…”

“Hmm, then when she gets kicked out. It wouldn’t be bad to keep her in the family and use her like Thunder’s personal maid.”

At that moment, Dot, who had been quietly listening to Ruth’s words, softly objected.

“…The young lady doesn’t have a Special Ability, but she captivated a famous horse like Thunder in an instant.”

Dot also had no idea why Coco suddenly wanted to meet Chloe.

Moreover, he thought Coco would soon be driven away by Chloe.

But still.

Dot recalled Coco’s warm purple eyes.

His current age was forty.

He had worked as a veterinarian for over 20 years and seen countless apprentices, but Coco was special.

‘Especially those eyes that look at animals so warmly are the most special.’

And somehow, that warmth seemed like it could melt the cold Chloe.

“So, it seems like the two of them might become friends.”

Ruth’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

“Then shall we make a bet? Don’t say you won’t do anything boring.”

“Then I’ll bet that the two of them can become friends.”

“I didn’t know this, but Dot, you seem to enjoy gambling quite a bit?”

Dot spoke in an unusually firm tone.

“We’ll see the results if we wait and watch.”

Chapter 3. Reunion

“Are you really able to visit Lady Chloe’s Annex?”

“Yes! I accomplished something great so I can go!”

I enthusiastically waved the Visitation Permit that Ruth gave me.

[Chloe Ardos’s 【Chrysanthemum Mansion】 Visitation Permit]

I tightly held the hand of the maid sister who looked bewildered.

“But why are you going to Lady Chloe’s Annex of all places…”

“Because it’s good! Let’s go quickly! I want to give her a gift, I picked lots and lots of wildflowers.”

My sister used to love it when I brought her sparkling purple flowers.

I walked with a bag full of flower stems tightly slung over my shoulder.

When we arrived in front of Sister’s Annex like that.

My eyes widened at a grave I had never seen before in my life.

“Huh! What’s this? There’s a really big grave here?”

“Oh, you didn’t know, young miss. This grave is…”

The maid sister who quickly looked around muttered in a low voice.

“It’s Chloe’s dog’s grave.”

She had an expression of intense doubt.

“There are rumors that the servant girls at Chloe’s mansion manage the dog’s grave day and night. It seems bigger than my father’s grave…”

The maid sister let out a deep sigh.

Regardless, fanfares of joy rang out in my head!

‘Sister remembered me! She didn’t forget!’

I excitedly wiggled my bottom little by little like wagging a tail and said.

“Wow, the grave is the best!”

“Why did they build such a big grave for some old dog…”

“…”

Shocked by the maid sister’s words, I stopped dead in my tracks.

“Young miss?”

“…Coco isn’t an old dog. She said he was a good baby puppy!”

“Oh, you don’t know well, young miss! That dog was easily over fifteen years old when it died.”

“…Th-that’s.”

“Ah! Young miss, when puppies are over 10 years old, that’s like being a grandfather or grandmother in human years.”

The more I listened to the maid sister’s words, the more shock accumulated in my heart.

I struggled to shake my head back and forth.

‘No. Coco is definitely not a grandmother.’

Sister called me a baby puppy.

So I’m a baby puppy!

“Coco is a baby puppy! A really good baby puppy too!”

The maid sister who met my burning gaze looked flustered.

“Huh? Ahahaha, y-yes. It must be a good baby puppy. Of course…”

Feeling much better, I nodded my head vigorously.

Was it because I practiced walking last night to come see Sister?

Today I was able to walk confidently like a wonderful baby puppy.

But right when we arrived in front of the annex door.

“Um, young miss. I’m sorry, but I can’t go in from here.”

“Huh…? Why?”

“Chloe’s mansion is in a semi-secluded state. So only a very few authorized people can enter…”

“I see…”

“Please return safely, young miss.”

“Yes, I’ll be back!”

I waved my hand to the maid sister.

Then I boldly stepped into the Chrysanthemum Mansion filled with darkness.

A place that some might find scary.

But I was fine.

“I finally came to meet our Sister!”

I’m not scared of the darkness at all.

Because our Sister can handle all the darkness in the world.

‘From here on, it’s really Coco’s territory!’

I adjusted the strap of my bag filled with flowers.

‘Coming to Sister’s house makes me feel like I’m getting really smart too!’

And so, Sister’s little sister, Coco! Charging straight to Sister’s room right now!

…Or so I was about to.

As soon as I took a step, several dark shadows blocked my path.

“Who are you to be visiting the mansion?”

“Huh? I’m Coco! Who are you?”

“…I am Lady Chloe’s servant girl.”

I held up my permit with a flourish.

After checking the permit, they bowed their heads respectfully.

“You’re the young lady from the annex. I’m sorry, but Lady Chloe is currently meeting with an important guest.”

“…”

“We will relay your message, but you may not be able to meet her.”

“It’s okay. I can wait!”

“…You may have to wait for a very long time.”

“Yeah! I don’t mind!”

I’m the best at waiting in the whole world.

Every time Sister went outside, I would wait alone at the door every single day.

Then Sister would come and say ‘Our Coco, did you wait for Sister?’

When I barked, she’d give me snacks and kisses, saying I waited well.

So I obediently followed them.

I drank the tea they gave me in the small room.

I pressed my small body close to the chair and waited endlessly.

But you know what.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours…

The tea had completely cooled down.

As time passed, the servant girls’ surveillance became lax.

When I heard the servant girls whispering outside the door that I would get tired and leave on my own.

I stretched my neck and looked around the surroundings again.

‘…Sister really isn’t coming.’

In the past, she would come when I waited.

‘Things are different now.’

Because I’m not puppy Coco but human Coco.

The moment I thought that, I made a serious decision.

“This time, instead of waiting, I’ll go meet Sister myself.”

I’ll meet Sister directly and find out in detail how she’s living.

And….

“Let’s become close again.”

I slung the bag filled with flowers over my shoulder.

‘Use your head, Coco!’

This is the mansion I used to roam around every single day!

I glared fiercely at my surroundings as if searching for sweet potatoes.

My sparkling head, blessed by Dog God, spun rapidly to find a way to meet Sister.
