No Abandoning Your Stray Dog, It's Shameful!

[Main story complete. Come and eat! OvO]

Ju Yinuo, a truly instinct-driven, single-celled organism.

"Rintaro! Rintaro! How come you can make Alice appear?"

"Because I'm a genius."

"Wow! Rintaro is amazing!"

Mori Rintaro often felt like his IQ took an uncontrollable nosedive whenever he was with the little dog and Ju, nothing like his usual self.

It was terribly dangerous!

"Rin, ta, rooo!" The orange-haired little dog came running over with tears streaming down his face. "I haven't finished my homework!"

"..." The orange-haired little dog was an idiot, but Mori really didn't dislike him. "Keep at it. You have until ten tomorrow night to finish. Ju-kun can do it, right?"

Ju Yinuo: QAQ

Little skit:

Mori Rintaro (frowning as he demanded): How did you manage to turn my lively little dog into a shut-in little dog?

Mori Ogai (calmly): It was the best solution at the time.

Mori Rintaro (angrily): Bullshit! The best solution, my ass! Yinuo is our most important friend!

Mori Ogai (silent): ...

When your past self questions who you are now,

Do you regret it?

Maybe a little,

But if he had the chance to do it all over again, he would make the same choice.

"Yinuo, do you regret meeting me?" Mori Ogai asked.

"...No." The childhood version of Ju Yinuo would have answered without hesitation, but now the little dog paused before saying he didn't regret it.

[Note: Since this is a short story, I won't go into too much detail.]
