Chapter 78 - Dealing With Little Hus
Su Yang had a bad feeling when he saw Little Hus’ reaction. “No, I’ll buy things back for you to sniff out instead.”
Little Hus did not look too concerned as he answered, “Then, it might take who-knows-how-long to sniff something out.” He even dug his nose using one of his edges.
‘Damn it! I’m being blackmailed by my dog…I mean, my bolster!’
Fortunately, when Little Hus saw Su Yang gnashing his teeth, he knew he should not and must not go too far with his request, so he said, “Su Yang, look. People walk their dogs almost every day, but ever since I’ve followed you, I’ve been stuck in the house. My fur is growing long.”
“It’s normal for a dog’s fur to grow,” said Su Yang.
“Well, at least, I still could look through the window when you put me in the basement but now, I’m stuck in this virtual space and there’s not even a window here,” Little Hus complained.
“There are windows here. They just can’t be opened,” said Su Yang.
“So, I think you should take me out for a walk. I’m not asking for too much, just half an hour. What do you say?” Little Hus was looking forward to his answer.
As Little Hus shook himself dry after he came out, Su Yang looked at the bolster and said, “Since you want to go out for a walk, I’ll take you out for a while.
“However, you must promise me something first. You cannot show any expression and mustn’t do anything strange. You cannot simply move your body as well. Just become a normal bolster.
“If you break the promise, I’ll never bring you out anymore.”
Little Hus looked at Su Yang in surprise. He did not expect to lose the war and still get the chance to go out. His heart contained nothing but delight at the moment. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Sure! Sure! Sure!”
Su Yang rapped his head and said, “Dry yourself. We’ll leave when you are done.” He then went out of the bathroom.
After he came out, he smiled pleasantly.
‘A slap in the face before giving him a reward! The tactic has been useful since ancient times. Can’t the lesson passed down by our ancestors even deal with a husky, I mean, a bolster? Hahaha, it’s more than enough!’
A while later, Little Hus obediently hopped out from the bathroom. “Su Yang, let’s go!”
Su Yang touched the bolster to make sure it was dry. He then carried Little Hus in his arms and reminded him one last time, “Remember, don’t you talk or show face in front of people. Do you hear me?”
Little Hus nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry! Take it easy!”
Since he promised to behave, Su Yang brought the bolster back to the real world.
After they came out of the basement, Su Yang thought about where to go. He decided to visit the Uplus Convenience Store near his neighborhood first. It was the closest convenience store and they were quite well-equipped with products, so there were more choices to choose from.
If Little Hus could not sniff anything there, Su Yang would have to go to the supermarket.
‘Let’s hope I can get what I want in Uplus.’
