After falling in love with human dementia

Chapter 14

"Host... are you alright?"

It didn't know when it snowed outside, and the weather became colder again. Holding the little white dog in his arms, Nagisa Minegishi suddenly felt aimlessly confused.

"..."

He was silent for a while before replying, "I'm fine, System."

"What Osamu Dazai said just now was too much!" The system was furious on his behalf, "If it wasn't for the mission, how could you, the host, come here to take this anger!"

After waiting for a long time without getting a reply from Mine Angi, it hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The host...otherwise we should not stay by his side, and this is not the only way to complete the task."

"Besides, even if the mission of this world is not completed, we still have the next world!"

"No, the mission still has to be completed." Nagisa Minegishi shook his head, "If you let the world's missions go unnoticed and the power of the virus grows little by little, what will you do then?"

"Besides, Dazai's words are quite correct..."

"It was because I lacked consideration."

……

It took more than three hours for Minegishi to come back.

Because he stayed outside for too long, when he entered the house, his body and hair were covered with snow.

Dazai was sitting on the sofa, the TV series he had been chasing was playing on the TV in front of him, but he didn't pay attention to it, he followed Nagisa's shadow from the corner of his eye, from one end of the living room to the other.

"...how did it take so long?"

"I looked for an animal shelter near my home, but it was closed when I went." Nagisa Minegishi patted his coat. Although the snow had melted, his clothes were almost wet, "I pressed the door I called the contact information posted, and the staff member happened to live nearby, and ran over to open the door for me, so I waited for a while."

"Waiting for a while?"

Judging by how wet the coat is, it's not just waiting for a while, right?

Dazai's eyes were dark, but he didn't say anything, "You can do whatever you want."

"Let's go and eat." He stood up.

"Eat?" Nagisa Minegishi was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that on the table not far away, what the dishes and chopsticks he had placed before he left looked like, and what they look like now, "...Did you not eat just now? "

Dazai had already walked from the sofa to the dining table and sat down, "Don't get me wrong, I just don't think eating alone is interesting."

Minegishi's mind moved slightly.

He pursed his lips, concealed his original intention of not having dinner, and said, "It's been so long, the dishes are going to be cold, I'll take them to the kitchen to warm them up first."

The two had a late dinner together.

Dazai took a few extra glances at Nagisa Minegishi who was sitting opposite him, his expression was calm, he didn't look angry, and he didn't feel the astonishment he had just heard when he said what he said out loud.

If this is the case... it should be that he is no longer angry, right?

He relaxed a little, but took a bite of the fried rice in the bowl without taste.Obviously there was his favorite crab meat in it, but when he ate it in his mouth, he didn't feel any happy feeling.

Bitter in the mouth.

I don't know why, but I'm also suffering.

A few more days passed.

When Nagisa Minegishi was reviewing his homework in the school library, he suddenly thought of Little White Dog.

Except for sending the dog there that night, he only went to the animal shelter the next morning with anxiety and asked about the future living environment of the little white dog. All hours of the day, no more seeing the puppies.

He glanced at the important points that he had just reviewed halfway through, and the exam week that was coming in a few days, but he still didn't get up to go to the animal shelter.

In two days, after he has passed the exam week, he will visit the little white dog again.

Minegishi refocused his attention on the book again, but he couldn't calm down. His mind was full of the scene where he saw the puppy by the trash can.Such a small one, frozen by the cold weather, can only curl up behind the dirty garbage.

The scene in my mind was left alone, and then suddenly changed to a different place and a different protagonist.

...he thought of himself.

Minegishi closed the book, packed his schoolbag, and stood up.Let's go once, he thought in his heart, anyway, it was almost noon, and it happened that he should go to lunch.

The animal shelter is actually very close to the school. Nagisa Minegishi walked a long way that night, but it only takes five or six minutes to go from the school.The staff member on duty in the facility happened to be the one who kindly rushed over at night to accept the little white dog.

When he heard the sound of the door knocking, he recognized Nagisa immediately.

"Hello." The staff member came out from behind the desk and smiled kindly at Nagisa Minegishi, "Are you here to see Xiaobai?"

"noob?"

"Yes, it's the puppy you sent over. Because the hair of the whole body is white, we named it Xiaobai."

He stroked his hair, a little embarrassed, "Does this name sound too common?"

"Nothing." Minegishi shook his head, "Where is Xiaobai now? I want to go and see it."

"Inside, we put it together with the puppies and puppies that were sent into the facility a while ago." The staff pointed inside, and then thought that Nagisa Minegishi might not be familiar with this place, so he suggested, "I Let me take you there."

"Then trouble you."

"No, no, this is what I should do." The staff quickly waved his hands, and he took Minegishi to a room at the innermost side of the corridor, "This is it, all the cubs here are now It's in this room."

The staff pressed the doorknob and pushed the door open.

What came into view was a few puppies of different colors lying on the foam board. I don't know what they were playing just now, but everyone stacked on top of each other like an arhat.Next to the foam board is a not very big but very delicate cat climbing frame, on which there are cute kittens squatting.

Minegishi scanned around, but couldn't find the little white dog.

"It's here." The staff who walked in at some unknown time waved at Nagisa at the door, and then pointed to the puppy kennel in front of him.He smiled helplessly, and his voice became much quieter, "It's a bit of a coincidence that you came here, it is sleeping now."

Nagisa Minegishi carefully avoided the fluffy ones on the ground, and then walked to the kennel, where the white dog was sleeping soundly, "It's okay, I just came here to see how it adapts Yes. Seeing that it is sleeping so well now, there should be no problem."

"Don't worry about that." The staff patted his chest lightly, "Our family's evaluation has always been very good, and we won an award in the whole country last year. Xiaobai will not be wronged here."

"If you're lucky, maybe Xiaobai can find a good owner who is willing to adopt him as a pet!"

"Then I'm relieved." Nagisa Minegishi softened his eyes, and the guilt that had been faintly present in his heart since the night when he sent the little white dog away finally disappeared after seeing the scene of it sleeping soundly.

"Since Xiaobai is sleeping, I won't bother you." He turned to look at the staff, "Thank you for your help today, then I will—"

At some point behind Nagisa, he was surrounded by a group of furries, all raising their heads and looking at him curiously.

"Huh?!" The staff let out a very surprised exclamation, "You guys, you can't block the way of the guests like this!" He hurriedly drove a few puppies to his side, and circled them.

As soon as the fluffy smelled the familiar scent on the staff member, they immediately climbed onto him unceremoniously.Some lazily nestled in his arms, some squatted on his shoulders, some did not climb up, hanging dangerously on his clothes, and were scooped into his arms by the staff.

"I'm really sorry to cause you trouble." The staff looked at him with apologetic eyes, "They are just a little curious when they see you for the first time, and there is nothing malicious about it."

"I'm not angry, they are all cute." Nagisa Minegishi curled the corners of his mouth, no wonder there are always people who say that when they see animal cubs, no matter how depressed they are, they will be relieved.He finally understood the true meaning of this sentence, such a cute little thing is indeed attractive.

Nagisa reached out and touched a cub in the staff's arms.Little Furry is not afraid of people at all, when he saw him stretch out his hand, he subconsciously rubbed his little head, which made Minegishi smile again.

After teasing the puppies for a while, Minegishi said goodbye to the staff.He didn't stay in the facility for a long time, and Xiao Bai didn't wake up during the period.He thought it would be good if the little white dog didn't see him coming, so that it could quickly forget him as a stranger.

Coming out of the animal shelter, Minegishi planned to find a nearby restaurant to solve his lunch problem, and then returned to the school library to continue reading and reviewing.After many people go to college, they actually don’t study as hard as before, but he can’t, he has to study hard, so that he can get enough scholarships to support his tuition.

Not only to him, but also to the original owner of this world, they are all the same.

Scholarships are an important source of money that cannot be lost.

Minegishi found a shop that specializes in curry. Seeing from the outside, there seemed to be quite a few customers inside, so he decided to go in and give it a try.

"Welcome." The owner of the store is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, and he looks very kind when he smiles.The helpers in his shop are a few young children. Seeing that the children are familiar with the boss, it seems that the boss is not black-hearted and employs child labor.

Minegishi sat down at the bar counter.

This curry restaurant has a semi-open kitchen. Sitting outside the bar, he can clearly see the whole process of the boss cooking.

"Boss, have some curry rice."

"Okay! What flavor do you want, guest?"

Nagisa Minegishi glanced at the menu posted on the wall. The first name on the list was Extra Spicy Curry Rice, and there was a bold "recommended by the manager" beside it.

"Then I want this recommended extra spicy curry rice."

"Boss, it's still the same, give me an extra spicy curry."

Nagisa's voice merged with the deep voice of a man behind him.He tilted his head slightly, and a dark red came into his field of vision.
