Chapter 77 - Volume 2. Special 2
{The Ideal Day to look for a dog Part 2}
A lot of hours before Brusquo the dog got stuck on the pole.
"Brusquo! Here's your food." The innkeeper happily put a whole roasted chicken on Brusquo's plate. The dog wagged his tail as he savored the delicious delicacy on his plate.
As the dog kept eating, the sound of bells on the entrance of the inn opened. He ran towards it and started barking to greet its customer. When Brusqou saw who it was, 'hmm...new customers? Their smells are unfamiliar.' But nonetheless, the dog happily wagged his tail to their new customers.
Days passed, and those two new customers stayed for quite a while now in the inn. Brusquo already started to get used to those customers.
Then after some time the dog noticed that they didn't come back for some time. When they did, another human girl was with them.
Well, the dog still continued its fruitful life helping in the inn.
But then one day, the dog with his very strong hearing heard something different. Brusquo glanced at its owner, but it was busy.
'It seems it is only I that could hear?' Brusquo the dog, though. The sound was like that of a cry. Remembering his great grand dog paps advice.
'Brusquo, remember we are proud generations of dogs who take pride in making everyone happy. If you see or hear someone crying you must do everything to make them happy.'
Set on fulfilling his great grand dog paps teachings on his heart, brusquo therefore set on a journey to find the source of crying.
He turned every alley until he finally reached the shore, where the sound of crying increased. He kept looking around until when he glanced up, he saw something upwards stuck in a pole.
'Help me!'
It was a seagull. It's wings got stuck on the bars of the twin poles. The brave dog decided that the best course of action was to save the seagull. Brusquo glanced around on how he would be able to climb up.
Until his line of sight caught on a thick string, heading towards the exact place of the bird. With bravery, Brusquo started balancing himself on the string.
And within half an hour he was finally able to get up. For how he didn't fall off with that crossing, was a miracle to consider. With his bare mouth, he started chomping on the strings, patiently one after another.
After that when he saw that the bird could be pulled out now, he bit its neck, but didn't put too much force so that it wouldn't get hurt.
"Ah don't eat me!" The bird misinterpreted its actions and started to shake within its hold.
'No! Don't move!'
The bird shook terribly but it was freed at last in the pole. But due to this, Brusquo lost his balance, and when he thought he was going to fall, both of his frontal feet tangled on the bars, making him stuck between the poles.
"Arf!" With that he saw the bird flying away, savoring its freedom. 'I'm stuck.'
'A real dog, even if stuck in difficult situations, they never waver.'
His profound great grand dog paps' words flashed to his mind once again. "There is nothing for me to fear."
Instead of getting afraid the dog just looked at the horizon. He saw how the bird that got tangled before reunited with its group. 'How nice.' The soft breeze of the wind was soothing to him along with the beautiful scenery ahead.
He stayed up there for almost three hours until his ears perked up footsteps approaching belows.
When he looked at them, he was overjoyed to see it was those people who were staying in the inn.
Two of them suddenly appeared on both of his sides. "Whoah!" He exclaimed in surprise. "Is that magic?"
(A/N: The voices that came out from Brusquo were all barks.)
The dog wagged his tail happily. "How cool, I wish I could do that too."
"Don't worry we will help you get down there big fella." The girl with gentle brown eyes said.
"Let's hurry up. The wind is getting stronger already." The green head girl without any warning grabbed the dog's collar.
And the next thing Brusquo, he was falling at a rapid speed. He felt frightened and all of his great grand dog paps teaching just flew out of him in this situation.
"Iris!" He heard an angry woman shout.
When Brusquo reached the halfway point of his fall, a blinding light appeared beneath him. And as he dived right through it, he couldn't help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes once again, he was now standing on the ground.
The two girls were also beside him now.
"Iris, you shouldn't have thrown the dog like that. He must be scared to bits."
"That's right human! That fall was out of my expectations!" Brusquo ran angrily at Iris.
Iris, who was caught off guard, fell directly on the ground with the dog above her!
"Receive my revenge!" Brusquo the dog started to leak Iris' cheeks.
Brusquo who were raised to help and comfort people were not really certain on how to attack people.
"See he's not mad." Iris said. "He is so thankful to me. But..." she tried to get the dog off, but it wouldn't budge. She was now getting soaked in its saliva.
"Yeah, right," Malaya said. "Let's all get back to the inn now, Dorris."
A huge teleportation magic circle formed beneath them, and the four of them teleported to the inn.
---⚓⚓⚓---
"Brusquo!" The innkeeper cried when she saw the people and the dog who appeared next to their counter.
Hearing his master's call, Brusquo stopped his attacks on Iris. And he happily jumped towards the innkeeper.
"You stink." Malaya covered her nose and started to step away from Iris who was just standing. Even Dorris was doing the same.
"So I stink huh?" An evil grin formed on Iris' lips. Both Malaya and Dorris had a very bad feeling about this.
And before they knew it, they started to run away while Iris chased after them with wide arms open.
"Come kids! This auntie will give you warm hugs!" Iris screamed as she chased both Malaya and Dorris.
"I don't have a stinky aunt!" Malaya shouted back as she laughed hard.
"Yeah!" Dorris agreed.
"You brats!" Iris yelled an irk mark forming her head. "When I catch you, you're both dead!"
In the end, Iris didn't catch any one of them since they both teleported away.
"Damn those brats!" Iris cussed.
As gratitude and apologies, the innkeeper gave Iris a free coupon she could use in the spring bath next to the inn.
Brusquo, watched these scenes feeling satisfied. "I'm glad. Everyone ends up being happy in the end.." The dog thought as he started eating his newly roasted chicken.
