744 – Titi in Ausn – 1
I looked out the window blankly.
The sky was blue, there was not a single cloud, and the sun was warm.
‘What should I do?’
It was a view that seemed to blow my mind, but my body felt extremely frustrated. As midsummer approaches, the time when the sun is up is getting longer, but there’s really nothing better to do while the sun is up.
It’s so hot that it’s a hassle to go outside, fishing with my father at the lake will only take a day or two, Erich hasn’t been seen since he went out to play with his disciples, and the emperor hasn’t looked for me for some reason.
It’s nice to be able to relax without a schedule. It was definitely a happy event, but as the quiet days continued, my body ached a bit.
‘I can’t go on a trip.’
While lying on the bed, I just scratched my stomach.
Actually, as originally planned, I was planning to go on a trip before or right after Erich’s wedding. Since I went on a trip with Mar, it’s Rize’s turn next.
However, thinking about what happened while I was leaving for the Kingdom of Zereno, I could not travel comfortably.
‘It has to be at least big enough for Mary to crawl around.’
While I was away, Mary cried and looked for her father. She accidentally hurt our youngest child, and she said, ‘I’m sorry. ‘Her dad’s a little busy. You can’t go on your next trip with the same mindset. If you do something like that, you won’t have anything to say even if Mary punishes you.
Therefore, my next trip will be in the fall at the earliest, or in the winter at the latest. Mary, she was born in spring, so by winter she will be crawling. It’s definitely big data that I acquired while raising seven children.
‘Should I just go with the kids?’
A thought like that suddenly occurred to me, but I quickly shook it off.
This trip is not a family trip, but a belated honeymoon. Of course my wife and I love children, but isn’t it right for us to enjoy our honeymoon together?
In addition, the children’s stamina can only be covered by the input of TT, Seongsu, and employees… It’s only the two of them who can handle it…
‘Wow.’
My hands were shaking without even realizing it. Even if it is the best sword on the continent, there is no answer in the face of infinite stamina. It’s dizzying just to imagine it.
So there is nothing we can do. Until fall or winter, I had no choice but to stay cooped up in the mansion with the feeling of a summer sleep.
– Woof!
“Are you bored too?”
– Woof!
I sat next to the bed and patted Titi’s head as she was panting.
“Hmmmm… “
Then, while stroking Titi’s head, he looked out the window again.
Titi had once been whining due to being tormented by her children, but after going on an emergency vacation to the County of Tilglehen, she regained her original strength. While the owner stayed in the mansion to escape the heat, Titi clearly showed signs of wanting to go out and play, both inside and outside the mansion.
Golden Retrievers are a gentle breed. However, large dogs must engage in activities appropriate to their size to avoid depression. For T.T., We need to provide appropriate exercise and entertainment,
‘It’s annoying.’
It shouldn’t be like this, but it’s annoying. My body felt tired because I had nothing to do, but when I tried to go out, it was bothersome.
Fortunately, I have a high tolerance for heat and cold, but it’s still a bit difficult to travel around the islands in the middle of summer. The sunlight hitting your face directly and the heat rising from the ground are annoying no matter how tolerant you are.
However, if you callously ignore Titi, Titi will be disappointed. My family is so comfortable thanks to TT, but why can’t we take him for a walk?
…
‘Is it okay to just go out?’
I looked at the fountain pen on the nightstand.
I don’t want to go out. The wives and employees are also trying to avoid the heat as much as possible. On the other hand, Titi can run around just fine on her own.
Yes, Titi will be fine on her own.
“Titi.”
– Bruise?
“Would you like to bring just one cloth?”
– Woof!
At my request, Titi quickly ran out of her room, and soon she came back carrying a white cloth.
Good. The color, material, and size are perfect.
“Stay still for a moment.”
Then Titi kept her mouth shut and maintained her motionless posture.
When I told her to stay still, I didn’t mean to shut up.
“It’s done.”
Anyway, after wrapping the cloth that Titi had brought with her like clothes, she scribbled with her fountain pen.
[This dog is under the protection of Count Tyglehen, the honorable Minister of Inspector General of the Imperial Administration, a member of the House of Nobles of the Imperial Parliament, and a member of the Knights of Lisizariune. If this dog is found outside the Islands, deliver it to the Count of Tyglehen Manor on the Islands, or to the County Castle in the County of Tyglehen. Anyone who shows kindness to this dog will receive the count’s favor, and anyone who shows malice will be punished. ]
It’s a rather long sentence, but it clearly states that Titi is a dog with an owner, and if that owner gets angry, her life can get a little messy.
‘Lastly, just in case.’
The earl’s seal and the minister’s seal were stamped at the end of the coat of arms.
It is perfect. Now, even if Titi wanders the islands alone, it won’t do any harm to her unless she’s a madman with no regrets in her life.
…
“TT. “Can you call me Trixie?”
– Wow!
Although it was her second request, Titi stomped out the door without any complaints.
Just in case, let’s cast a defense spell and a location tracking spell on Titi. There is a very high probability that a madman with no regrets will appear in your life.
***
The owner gave me permission to go for a walk!
It’s a pity that I can’t go with the owner, but it’s okay! Because I can have fun by myself!
“Come back before the sun sets. If you get hungry or thirsty on the way, go into any store and ask for something. Since my identity is clear and I have a money bag attached, I won’t kick you out.”
– Woof!
Moreover, the owner made various preparations so that I could play well on my own! Even though my master’s body is far away, his heart is next to me! Then wouldn’t it be like taking a walk with the owner?
I’m sure it will! My master is a kind and good person, so I am always with him in my heart!
“Hmm.”
The owner, who had been stroking my head, squatted down and lightly punched my nose.
But he wasn’t sick at all! It’s amazing, the master is a very strong person, isn’t he?
“It’s definitely effective.”
– Wow!
I also smiled at the owner who smiled as if he was in a good mood.
If my master is happy, I am happy too!
“…Should I use a little more?”
– Bruise?
After saying that, the master grabbed my body and started writing something on the cloth wrapped around his body.
It was itchy, but I held on to it. Because this is also a gift from my master for me!
“There was less about the Count of Wiridia, less about Leon’s title, less about being a godfather… “What else was there?”
It seems a little long, but that’s okay! Anything the master gives is good!
I went outside, being seen off by the people who guard my master’s house!
After all, I like being outside! It’s nice to play with the little owners inside, but it’s still bigger outside than at home!
My heart is pounding. The owner told you to come back before the sun sets, right? So, you can play as much as you want while the sun is up!
– Wow!
So he took to the streets, running vigorously. It’s a little hot, but it’s nice weather! Perfect weather for running around!
“Hmm? What kind of dog is it?”
“No, no one knows how to leash a dog… Huh?”
“That sentence…?”
I ran into other people while running, but they all dodged to the side!
They are friendly people! Even when I was walking with my owner, other people stayed out of the way to make it easier for me and my owner to go! I think everyone here has a good heart!
“The sentence just now clearly belongs to Count Tyglehen—”
“It just so happens that it looks exactly like the dog that His Excellency the Count keeps. Of course, it could be a dog that looks similar, but what kind of dog would walk around with His Excellency’s emblem stamped on it?”
“I think there was writing on it too. Did you see it?”
“It passed so quickly that I didn’t see it.”
I could hear the people behind me talking about me and my master!
Happy! A gift from my master to me! Everyone is recognizing me!
‘Master, you’re the best!’
It was good before, but I feel even better! Now I won’t be running around to play, but to show off my master’s gift! That way, I can let everyone know that my master cares for me and loves me!
“Huh? Titty?”
“It’s true. Why are you alone?”
As I was wandering around, I saw familiar faces.
People who the owner praises when they meet while taking a walk with their owner! These are the people who protect this street!
– Woof!
Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!
“You didn’t run away, did you?”
– Growing…!
But I wasn’t happy with what I just said.
In the master’s house, there are the master, the madams, and the little masters! I have a lot of people who love me and my friends! But why would I run away! I will stay there for the rest of my life!
“Titi is angry. What are you going to do?”
“Hehe, I’m sorry. I was a little surprised because you were walking alone.”
– Woof!
Still, I apologized right away, so I’ll look into it! I’m not angry anymore!
“Ah.”
Among the people who were stroking my head, one person was surprised to see the gift from the owner.
Awesome, right? Are you jealous!? It’s a gift that the owner gave me directly! Everyone was so surprised when they saw it that they couldn’t take their eyes off it! It’s definitely because I’m jealous!
“As expected, Titi has a higher status than us.”
“What are you talking about… Ah.”
Other people also laughed when they saw the master’s gift.
“I see. Well, Your Excellency does love Titi.”
“Honestly, if it were me, I would bite and suck at a dog like Titi.”
“You too? Me too.”
I felt better when I heard that I was biting and sucking! The little owners love me and my friends so much that they bite or suck our fur! That means these people also like me, right?
“By the way, we should give TT snacks.”
“Oh, me too.”
I shook my body hard when I heard people saying they would give me snacks.
The owner said that if you are hungry or thirsty, go to any store because there is a money bag! So he’s giving me money to eat it, right?
“Huh? Is there something on Titi’s neck?”
“Are you asking me to hurry up because my neck is heavy? Haha, I understand, dude.”
– Woof!
That’s not it, that’s not it!
“You must be very hungry. Is this the first time you’ve been so fussy?”
No! Don’t just look at your pockets, look inside!
“Here! Here’s beef jerky! It’s made especially for dogs to eat!”
– Wow…
In the end, I couldn’t keep the owner’s words and just accepted the snack…
I also met many other people after thanking them for giving me snacks. Like the little masters, the little people touched me, but the big people made it easy for me to go.
I guess they were considerate of me and other big people because we are big, right? Thank you so much!
‘This is my first time coming here.’
After wandering around for a while, I reached the first area I came to.
It’s smaller than the owner’s house, but it’s a place where many houses are gathered together! The streets are clean and quiet!
It’s my first time here, but I like it! Can you see things you haven’t seen before…?
– Bruise?
I looked around and saw something amazing.
The entrance is blocked with a hard bar like the owner’s house. A friend of similar size to me lying in front of the entrance.
She also looked into my eyes to see if she saw me, but she quickly turned her head away. You may be disappointed because the reaction was cold, but now I feel something different than disappointment.
‘Incredible beauty…!’
My heart is pounding! When I hear praise from my master, my heart flutters in a different way than when I play with my little masters!
