After raining and night came, the streets of Shikuro. A bar with delicious beer called, <Villa De Edge>.
Ryoutaă»Family was gathered over there.
Inside the spacious bar, sitting at the furthest back possible, me, Emily, Celeste, Eve, and Alice, all five of us were sitting at a table.
Next to them, Cerberus was sitting with his upper body upright, looking at the entire bar with a ferocious face.
While we were eating and drinking, Cerberus played the role of a respectable watchdog.
[Oi, âdat a Cerberus right?]
[Ainât âdat the watchdog of hell. Da heck, itâs eating food from that tiny child.]
[Ey you, that tiny child that youâre speaking of is Emily-san, you living under a rock or something?]
Everyone in the bar was eyeing on us, and were gossiping here and there.
Carrying the dishes and beers that we ordered, as soon as the barâs poster girl with an apron and a hood approached us, Cerberus stood up.
Larger than a normal human, he exposed his teeth while looking down at her.
The poster girl was shaking in fear.
[Cerberus, sheâs working for this bar so itâs okay.] as soon as I ordered him, he sat back down.
The poster girl that felt relieved placed the food and drinks on the table.
[Iâm sorry for frightening you. Itâs already okay.]Â (Ryouta)
[Is, is that so?]
[Yeah, look.]Â (Ryouta)
Beside the poster girl who was still a little afraid.
Alice brought the dishes that was brought and placed them in front of Cerberus.
Wagging his tail like mad, Alice showed a smiling face as she took one of the dishes and lets him eat, that figure was totally like a dog.
[Our dog is pretty obedient. It would not attack if I say that personâs not an enemy, though if it is, then he wouldnât show any mercy.]Â (Ryouta)
[Th, thatâs right. Though itâs big but itâs still a dog.]
[Do you wanna try touching him?]Â (Emily)
[Eh?]
Emily asked the surprised poster girl.
[If you give bunny bonus carrot dishes, sheâll let you touch her.]Â (Eve)
[Is that really alright?]
[Cer, come here.] Celeste called for Cerberus as he sat in front of her.
While laying down, she stroke her head with a rhythmic movement.
[Here, you try.]Â (Celeste)
[Then, thank you.]
Rub rub, as the poster girl stroke the head of Cerberus.
Cerberus allowed her to do so, the ownerâ-Ryouta Familyââordered him therefore the poster girl could caress him.
She was even caressing his body.
[So obedient.]
[Being able to tame the hell dog, Ryouta Family is strong.]
[Hu, hun. It ainât that great, thatâs cause that Cerberus is at its first form.]
[Your voice is trembling though.]
[Plus the number one most frightening thing is an obedient watchdog. Being tamed by its owner to only listen to them and mercilessly attacking enemy is the scariest.]
Listening to various gossips while being satisfied, all of us made eye contact and agreed.
It is to appeal to everyone that our family has Cerberus now.
Although Cerberus is a rogue monster originated from Kerberus, but it has a collar so someone wonât misunderstand and attack him by mistake.
The objective of bringing him to the bar is so that we could appeal everyone of the [perfectly tamed dog].
Afterwards, things conveniently happened further from here.
[My voice ainât trembling mâkay!]
[But it sounds like it.]
[Ey, what did I say!]
[Huh?]
A fight broke out at a distance.
One of the guy flipped the table upside down, and the other guy kicked the table off.
The kicked table flew over here.
Cerberus chewed on the table which flew straight here.
Interrupting the table that was flying against me, he opened his huge mouth and bit it.
The eight-man table was shattered in a flash.
[GururururururuâŠâŠ.]
Cerberus raised a low growl, whereâs the enemy of the owner, as he showed a ferocious face without me saying anything.
Though the scene wasnât as scripted, but naisu Cerberus.
The surrounding went silent, overwhelmed by the watchdog of hell of the Ryouta Family.
[Itâs okay Cerberus, it was just an accident. It isnât an enemy.] I quietly said, and Cerberus stopped growling and had a pose from just a moment ago where the poster girl was allowed to easily stroke him.
[AmazingâŠ..he really is obedient enough to listen to orders.]
[Anyways look at that, that dog hasnât eaten the food yet.]
[Thatâs true. Whatâs wrong with that?]
[Dogs are classified as a living thing in a family, so before the head of the house eats, they do not eat first.]
[The family head huhâŠ..Aah.]
Various lines of sights gathered to me after some story was told.
This was truly convenient, as I took the food that was carried here and placed it on my mouth.
After eating it, Cerberus began eating as if given permission to eat.
Then cheers rose from within the bar.
[Ryouta Family is seriously awesome(lit af).]
[They always surprise us each time, this Ryoutaă»Satou.]
[A fearful manâŠ..Letâs not do anything to go against that family.]
[Yeah, someone that I know also said the same thing.]
While listening to various words, Cerberus was perceived as my dog and after that rumour was spread, my purpose of coming here today was finally fulfilled.
â
After going home, I relaxed inside my room.
Lots of things happened today, so it was time to head to bed.
Someone knocked on the door.
[Whoâs that?]Â (Ryouta)
[Itâs me, master.]Â (Cerberus)
[Cerberus huh.]Â (Ryouta)
I got up and opened the door, where Cerberus was sitting in the hallway.
Like the [Hachiko Statue], he is sitting all roundly like a faithful dog, but there was still a sense of intimidation as his body was large.
[Whatâs wrong, donât like your new room?]Â (Ryouta)
[No! Itâs nothing of that sort! Thank you very much Master, I did not think that Master would trouble himself to allow me to have a room all by myself.]Â (Cerberus)
[Is that soâŠ..Fumu. I guess if itâs a room for humans, itâs hard for you to go in and out.] (Ryouta)
I gave Cerberus a room within the mansion, but seeing that he had to knocked a little while ago, I thought that it wasnât easy to use.
[Iâll call the agency by tomorrow to remodel the room for you, so it will be easy to live.]Â (Ryouta)
[Thatâs unnecessary! Iâm alright with what I have. Iâm grateful enough to die just by having a room with a roof on top of me.]Â (Cerberus)
[Letâs keep that sentence for next week. Emily is here, thus there is still more happiness than now.]Â (Ryouta)
[âŠâŠ.Thank you so much, Master.] (Cerberus)
Cerberus lowered his body down so as I would look down at him from above.
[Iâm happy to be picked up by Master, I never dream of sleeping in such a warm room with delicious food.]Â (Cerberus)
[I see.]Â (Ryouta)
[Hence, Iâm really really grateful for what youâve done for me, Master!]Â (Cerberus)
Cerberus seemed to be happy while facing at me.
Just because he is a rogue monster, he was forced to eat leftovers from garbage, him being able to show such a face right now, I was happy for him.
