"Woof!"
...
"Is that a freaking dog?!"
_____________________________________
The bright light from the egg faded and I could clearly see what was in front of me. It was a dog. It was a three-headed dog.
"Woof?"
It tilted its head...heads? I mean... it still looks like a puppy, and I guess it's pretty cute... Is this what people call a Cerberus? But it doesn't look ferocious at all...
[Hatching Completed. The host has obtained a legendary Cerberus. For it to acknowledge the host as its master, the host has to name it.]
Name it? I mean... it has three heads.. looks like a puppy... it's also black and grey in colour...red eyes... like a certain villainess I knew...
"Hmm... You remind me of Batman."
[Cerberus has been named Batman]
Wait what- I didn't- Wait!!
The Cerberus started glowing red.
I sigh. I'm the worst pet-parent aren't I?
[Yes.]
Damn even the system...
I stare at the puppy in front of me. I mean... it can't be that-
"Are you my master?"
Holy Shi- it talks?!
[Note: After naming a familiar it is able to mind link with the host.]
Oh. Well that's useful.
"Yes.. I'm your master."
The Cerberus' eyes lit up as it immediately pounced onto me...
"Oof-"
That hurt. I'll never underestimate this pup's strength...
"Nice to meet you... Batman..."
The pup starts licking my face.
"Wai- stop! It's ticklish!"
I giggle.
"N/N...?"
Is that the villainess...? She's knocking on the door... if she sees the Cerberus-
"N/N, I'm coming in."
She opens the door. Wonderful.
"Uh... N/N... what is that...?" She points at Batman. Let's see here... how should I explain this?
â> Tell her about the system.
â> "Uhm... I picked this pup up on the road... look it has three heads :D"
â> "This is Batman. He's a good doggy I promise.. *puppy dog eyes*"
Option 2 it is.
"Uhm...I picked this pup up on the road... look it has three heads :D"
She stared suspiciously as I try to give her my most innocent smile. There's no way she can scold me now, right?
Yeah this is not working.
I raise the pup up just like the scene in lion king.
"Look it's just like you."
For some reason I feel like she's even angrier after that comment.
"You're replacing me with a dog?"
Uhm... I feel like there's a misunderstanding here-
"No! Of course not... Uhm... I just found this puppy and I thought it looked kinda cute... just like you."
Elise flushes red.
"You... think I'm cute...?"
I quickly nod to please the villainess. I sense my plan is working well!
"Yep! That's right! You're so pretty and cute... and pretty cute..."
I smile awkwardly. Is this the reason why I died single?
"...name..."
Huh?
"What's its name?"
Is that... a sign that she approves?! I knew I had some skills after all. Totally.
"It's Batman!"
"Bat...man...?"
Guh...! Of course she doesn't know him...!
"Y-yeah... that's right. Batman."
"I see... I won't further question about your... taste in names..."
I sweatdrop. Is it that bad?
[Affirmative.]
I look back at Batman.
You don't think your name is bad... do you...?
"Woof!"
I sigh.
