The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Dorothy circled Donas several times, speechless for a long time, but she admired the other's rich imagination from the bottom of her heart.

They actually used readily available ivy vines as Halloween costumes!
How did you come up with that idea?
Not only did it cost me nothing, but it also fits perfectly, keeping me warm and comfortable.

As her companions scrutinized her with approving glances, Donas proudly raised her head, beaming with pride: "Now you know why I slept in, right? I've already prepared my Halloween costume; wearing vines saves money and hassle!"

"Compared to your outfit..."

"Hehe~"

Donas was about to say: It's better than the pumpkin-headed wizard outfit you're wearing.

Before he could even finish speaking,

Dorothy gave it a fierce glare.

The pumpkin head, paired with the wizard outfit, cost a total of 299 yuan.

Even though the milk tea shop has been quite profitable recently,

Three hundred dollars is a considerable expense for any doro.

The money has already been spent.
Opened clothing cannot be returned without a reason.
Realizing she had wasted money, Dorothy could only hide her regret by stopping her friends from complaining.

Pina glanced at Dorothy, then at Donas.

After understanding what happened,

Pina patted Dorothy's shoulder lightly, comforting her: "It's okay! It's just spending a little more money on costumes, right? You can think of it this way: you can keep this outfit for next Halloween, right?"

"The vines that Donas found will break after one wear."

"Spending money on clothes is definitely worthwhile."

"Maybe when the party starts, the girls on campus will think your clothes look even better and give you more candy!"

Hearing the comforting words, Dorothy nodded, took a deep breath, and her mood improved again.

"Ok!"

“Pina, you’re right.”

Dorothy adjusted her glasses, then straightened her pumpkin headgear and the cuffs of her wizard's robes.

Just then, a message popped up on my phone, with the note "{person}".

Huang Musong sent a message to Dorothy, asking her to remind Doraemon, Donas, and Pina to get ready for the Halloween parade.

Read the text carefully.

Dorothy gradually perked up and repeated to her two companions, "Let's hurry! The guy is queuing at the fried chicken shop near the hotel, and he wants us to eat before going to Sister Su's university. According to the guy's message, he doesn't seem to know we've come out yet. Let's try to get back before he goes into the hotel."

Listening to Dorothy's words,
Pina immediately took Donas's hand.

"Fried chicken for dinner? What are we waiting for! Let's go..."

Pina took off running, heading straight for the hotel.

Donas stumbled a couple of steps from being pulled, but didn't mind at all. When she started running, she was even faster than Pina.

As dusk, symbolizing the end of daylight, casts its crimson glow, the setting sun falls upon a Pina and two Doros on the street, stretching the shadows of the three little creatures longer and longer.

At the same moment.
Located in a hotel room where only Doraemon was alone,

The sound of footsteps coming through the crack in the door attracted Doraemon's attention.

Everyone walks with a different stride frequency; after listening to it many times, you can naturally tell who it is.

Doro pricked up its ears and, upon realizing that the man (Huang Musong) had returned, it immediately rushed to the door to wait for him.

He looked up, grinned, and revealed a genuinely happy smile.

"Human...human?"

"is it you?"

But the moment the door opened, Doro's smiling face suddenly froze, replaced by panic and fear, and a short whimper escaped his throat.

Outside the door:

What came into Duoluo's view was not Huang Musong.

It was a gigantic dinosaur!

To be precise, it's a dinosaur inflatable suit, with a cartoonish, anime-style design that looks obviously fake.

However, since Doraemon is from the world of anime, the cartoonish dinosaurs in its eyes are almost indistinguishable from real dinosaurs.

A giant dinosaur...

How scary!
The sudden sense of crisis made Doraemon's hair stand on end.

Seeing that Doro was frightened, Huang Musong, inside the inflatable suit, chuckled, feeling a little apologetic.

I only meant to play a little prank to scare Doraemon.

Does this actually seem a bit excessive?

To avoid startling Doraemon, Huang Musong quickly unzipped his clothes and partially undressed to reveal his face.

"Don't be afraid, Doraemon."

"it's me!"

Showing his upper body, Huang Musong bent down to hug Duoluo and patted its head.

Doraemon instinctively took a half step back.

Clearly, he was still a little scared.

Two seconds later, it was confirmed that the dinosaur costume was just a prank by someone wearing it...

Doro breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled into the person's arms, her voice soft and sweet with lingering fear, "Human, you really scared me just now~. Your costume is great, it's perfect for Halloween, hehe!"

Greedily inhaling the scent of people,

The warmth from the human body completely calmed Doraemon's fear.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault for scaring you."

Huang Musong hugged Duoluo tightly, sat on the bed, and took out five boxes from his backpack: "I bought you fried chicken for dinner, one box for each little one. Duoluo, I'll give you an extra box as an apology for scaring you."

"Pina... Huh? Where did Pina and the others go?"

Just as Huang Musong was about to distribute the food, he suddenly realized that Pina, Donas, and Dorothy were nowhere to be seen in the room.

“Pina is going back to her own home; it’s Donas who wants to go.”

"They will be back soon."

"Don't worry, they took an iron dumbbell with them when they went out, so they shouldn't encounter any danger."

When talking about his companions, Doraemon thought of the clothes he had made himself and found them to wear.

A ghost costume with hand-painted details.
Very ordinary.
The description "ordinary and unremarkable" is particularly apt.

However, everyone understands the principle of loving someone because of them; Huang Musong's affection for Duoluo is just as Duoluo's affection for people.

The ghost costume that showcases Doro's silhouette is a perfect 100 in Huang Musong's mind!
"The adorable ghost Doraemon."

Huang Musong affectionately ruffled Doro's pink hair, "You'll definitely be the most dazzling person at tonight's Halloween party."

"Let's eat the fried chicken while it's hot, then rest for a while and wait for Pina and the others."

While talking, he fed Doraemon a piece of chicken.
Huang Musong waved his hand, signaling Su Qingyao outside to quickly bring Shu Chu and the anime-loving rat Laimi inside.

Six months have passed.

Shu Chu's living conditions and economic status have improved considerably.

Back in the south, my average monthly salary was 4 yuan, and it was common for my boss to delay or deduct wages.

When I went to work at a restaurant in Shaxian County, the owner provided meals but not accommodation, and the salary of 3 yuan was acceptable.

And now,
Shu Chu was working two jobs at the same time.
Main job – working for Huang Musong to manage a fruit shop.

Part-time job – having Laimi cook meals when Huang Musong can't take care of the doro.

Six types of insurance and two types of funds + 8k base salary + 3k part-time salary + meals and accommodation provided + double hourly wage for main job overtime pay ≥ 2.0k!

It's inevitable to feel tired.

At least I made real money.

However, the improvement in income did not seem to change Shu Chu's outlook on life; her clothing remained shabby.

It had been a long time since I had spent time alone with Shu Chu. Usually, I would go out to eat with Shu Chu with Donas and Dorothy. I felt that this moment could be considered a time when we were alone.

Words,

Why is Miss Shu Chu still dressed in tattered clothes?

She's skinny and doesn't gain weight...

Sensing that the other person's life was rather difficult, Duoluo handed the fried chicken, which was originally meant for someone else (Huang Musong), to Shuchu and fed it to her first.

"Little Chu, mio~ mio~ mio~"

Doraemon uses cute, smacking lips expressions instead of words.

Whenever Shu Chu was under the same roof as Huang Musong, she would unconsciously avoid him.

If Su Qingyao were also present

Shu Chu always made sure to find an excuse to leave as soon as possible.

This reaction stems from a deep-seated inferiority complex, which is extremely difficult to overcome. Of course, it certainly doesn't indicate any romantic feelings or fantasies towards Huang Musong.

It's just the cowardice of a sewer rat, afraid to see the sun.

Fortunately, there was Doraemon!
Doro's innate "lover" attribute made Shu Chu feel much better...

Soon, Doraemon finished the whole box of fried chicken and was about 80% full.

Dorothy, Donas, and Pina happened to return to the hotel.

The aroma of fried food instantly captivated Donas.
It excitedly barged into the room and devoured its own vegetarian fried food.

"Really delicious!"

"Quickly, let's finish eating and then head over to the Halloween party."

Donas stuffed food into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a squirrel's, and she yelled at her friends.

After meal
Huang Musong, Su Qingyao, and Shu Chu set off together with the little ones.

The Halloween parade is about to begin!
The parade featured a variety of activities, with the "Costume Parade" and "Trick or Treat" being the most popular. Smaller events included "Carving Pumpkin Lanterns," "Craft Competition," "Haunted House Queue," "Games and Performances," and more.

The costume parade is the highlight of Halloween.

It was a grand affair.

University students spontaneously formed groups to stroll around the campus.

Huang Musong and his group walked in the middle of the procession.

He was dressed as a dinosaur, Su Qingyao as a witch, and Shu Chu as a rat-headed man.

Pina Doraemon, dressed in a ghost cloak, chases and plays around; Dorothy, wearing a pumpkin headgear and holding a staff, strolls around; Donas, covered in vines, looks around.

The Halloween party held by the university was attended almost entirely by students.

Some were dressed up carefully.

Some also wore casual clothes.

Whether students dress up or not, it's difficult to increase mutual attraction between them because they see each other all the time.

Under these circumstances, the Doro and Pina naturally became the highlights and received a great deal of attention.

Along the roadsides where the doro parade passes.
One college student after another commented on the four little guys.

Woman A: "Is that little one Donas?"

Woman B: "What, Donas? Isn't that a mummy? Ugh... a mummy wrapped in ivy vines, how unhygienic."

Man A: "I think it's great. Climbing ivy vines are cheap and convenient."

Woman A: "Hey! Did you guys even hear what I said? That's Doro, Donas from Doro, the big internet celebrity."

Girl C: "Does she look like Coach Donas from the off-campus boxing gym?"

Male B: "What is Doro? What is Donas? Are you referring to the fruit shop at the east gate of the school?"

Among the students watching, some recognized Doro, while others had never heard of her before.

but,
Whether you know them or not

Everyone has a very good impression of the four little beasts, including Pina!
Being talked about made Donas incredibly proud, and she walked with her head held high.

"set off!"

"Let's go cause some trouble!"

Overjoyed, Donas was no longer satisfied with just the parade and ran towards the temporary retractable tent not far ahead.

Under the canopy is an entertainment project organized by a certain department—carving pumpkin lanterns.

Currently, many college students are participating.

The event was lively.

Entering the shed area, Donas looked around, searching for her target.

Finally, having found a suitable 'prey', Donas crept closer.

"~Aww~"

Did I scare you?

"Trick or treat!"

Donas suddenly jumped onto the table, yelling and scaring a female college student who was daydreaming, and making faces at her.

The female college student was startled.

Coming to her senses, the frightened female student calmed down upon seeing how cute Donas looked.

He took out a few candies from his pocket.
The female college student smiled and handed it to Donas, saying, "You naughty little thing..."

As she spoke, she rubbed Donas's paws; the girl adored the lively, innocent, and mischievous little creature.

They received candy.
Donas felt an immense sense of accomplishment.

After saying "thank you," it turned and ran back to the main parade.

Holding the candy high to show it off, Doroth was so excited she was panting. "Look everyone! I'm the first Doro to get candy tonight!" she shouted.

"Well"

What should I say?

"I've got it!"

"One breakthrough! The Crouching Dragon emerges from the mountain." (A line from a mobile game it's been playing a lot lately)
Donas happily showed off her spoils.

Dorothy, Dorothy, and Pina watched as Donas made a fortune, their eyes gleaming with envy. They too longed for the candy that others had given them.

but……

Doro seemed to be worried about something; his smile gradually faded, turning into a sorrowful expression.

"Is this really good?"

"People will get disliked if we cause trouble too often, won't they?"

Even though "Trick or Treat" is a normal Halloween activity.

Doro tugged at the corner of the person's clothes, looking very worried, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Huang Musong thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Halloween is ultimately a Western holiday.

Not all Chinese people can accept being disrupted.

Besides, if you have to give candy to stop misbehaving, wouldn't such behavior be extortion if you remove the festive filter?
Ah!
We need to come up with a good way to ensure that the doro can cause trouble without being disliked, while still having fun.

Huang Musong fell into thought...

Just as he was about to come up with a passable solution,

Long-lost fragments of memory flashed through my mind.

[Scene 1: You are taking Doro to the Halloween Parade at ** University. During the parade, you hold a prank contest for the Doro characters to see who can scare the most people and earn the highest scare points. Ultimately, Doro wins and receives the prize 'Doro's Arrow'.]

[Scene 2: You are taking Dorothy to... In the end, Dorothy wins and receives the prize 'Robit's Arrow']

[Scene 3: You are taking care of Donas...]

[Scene 4: You're taking care of Pina...]

Huh?

This time there are four memories, and even Pina has joined in!
Huang Musong was both surprised and pleased.

It seems that my approach to Pina was correct.
Don't adopt them, let them roam freely first.

The "Freedom to Come and Go" model makes Pina feel a greater sense of belonging to the Doro family!

After briefly considering Pina's situation, Huang Musong gathered his thoughts and began to focus on retrieving fragments of memory.

Four memories,

The content is similar.

The difference is who wins the prank contest.

The winner's prize is a Doro-exclusive item—the Doro Bit Arrow.

Although I don't know what functions it will have, it will definitely be useful.

As for which little guy should be helped to win...

Huang Musong glanced at Doraemon and then observed Dorothy, Donas, and Pina.

It's such a difficult decision!
It's not good to favor one side over the other.

After careful consideration, Huang Musong made the decision to let the doro compete fairly and impartially.

"Little ones."

"How about we play a little game?"

Let's see who can scare the most people with their pranks tonight!

"If you successfully scare someone, remember to give them a piece of candy as an apology to avoid them disliking you..."

Huang Musong stepped out of the parade, bringing the four little ones with him, and gave each of them four boxes of classic Ferrero Rocher chocolates. (End of Chapter)
