Chapter 13

“Shasha.”

During times like this, I lowered my voice and raised my hand, waving it lightly.

“Grrr.”

Shasha reluctantly put his forepaw on my hand.

He was looking at a faraway mountain because he didn’t like being tamed by a mere human being.

It was disrespectful, but since he diligently carried out my order, I decided to let it slide.

“Good job.”

I praised with a soft, amiable voice while patting and stroking his head annoyingly.

The restless Shasha pawed my knee impatiently and kicked me, pushing me away.

His kick seemed light but was actually very heavy.

If I hadn’t had Rosetta’s body, with this much power, I sure would have fallen back just like any normal person.

“Okay, wait.”

I picked up the raw meat from the bowl and threw it at him. Big pieces of meat were a favorite of Shasha.

Shasha closed his eyes while savoring its taste. After finishing the meat, he looked at me and licked his mouth as if this much was not enough for him.

“Sit down.”

Since he liked the meat he had just eaten, this time, he obediently sat down on his butt.

“Good job.”

I patted his head and immediately gave him another command.

“Stand up.”

As soon as the command left my lips, Shasha again pawed me on the knee and strongly protested why I didn’t give him the meat.

I shook my head when I saw his belly protruding out.

He had gained weight because I fed him too many snacks this week for training. Also, he ate a lot and he only exercised by moving around the house.

At this rate, you’ll turn from a canine into a pig.

A fat male lead! It can’t happen in a romance novel.

“Stand up, Shasha.”

“Grrrrrrrrr.”

“Hah! Shasha.”

The smart Shasha raised his butt when he realized that he wouldn’t get any meat if he showed his temper. He stood up obediently even though he was annoyed.

He still hadn’t fixed his rude attitude and hadn’t controlled his growling tendencies, but it was still a satisfying result after one week of training.

I gently scratched Shasha’s chin. Shasha stepped back as it was a touch he had experienced for the first time in his life. But he soon stopped moving and calmly entrusted himself to me.

I didn’t know whether he was feeling good or not, but his flustered face was cute.

If I showed him this look in the mirror, he would definitely jump up and down, asking who this spineless bastard was.

“Do you like it?”

“Grrr.”

Blushing, he looked out of the window with a smile. Now he looked more like a puppy.

“I think we can go for a walk now.”

Maybe he understood the word ‘walk’, Shasha perked his ears up in response.

“Let’s go out and have fun.”

I smiled awkwardly at Shasha’s convex belly. A male lead with belly fat was a bit…

“… Let’s lose some weight.”

“…?”

Shasha, who didn’t understand me, tilted his head.

To help him understand quickly, I bent down to his level and rubbed his stomach. The protruding belly fat was soft.

Surprised by the candid touch, Shasha jumped up. His eyes opened so wide that I thought they would pop out of his sockets.

“… Awoo?”

“Yes, you need to get out more.”

“… Woof?”

“Or else you’ll become a pig…”

“Ruff, ruff, ruff, awoo, awwooo!!”

Shasha cried in shock, perhaps because of his belly fat or my remarks about him turning into a pig.

… Sorry.
