The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

The birthday party went on until very late, and the doro slept soundly, waking up when it was already broad daylight.

The next day, noon.

In the hotel across the street from the boxing gym, the alarm clock rang around midnight, and Dorothy's phone played soothing music.

The music was too loud, and a nasal sound came from under the covers. Dorothy struggled to open her sleepy eyes and stretched out her little paws to randomly tap the phone screen outside the covers.

Touch it.
I couldn't find the "Close" button;
Touch it twice.
I still couldn't find the right spot;

Then a third, a fourth, a fifth...

Unable to find the Close button, Dorothy lazily raised her head slightly, struggled to open her heavy eyelids, and let out a long sigh.

Is your phone broken?

"Why is the alarm going off so early in the morning... Waaaaah!" Dorothy suddenly realized the crucial problem and woke up instantly, getting up to manually turn off the alarm clock.

The time displayed on the screen is 12:10, indicating that the alarm has gone off for the third time.

Set a timer for 12 o'clock sharp, and remind the user every five minutes, up to a maximum of five times.

This is Dorothy's habit of waking up at a set time.

Since the time is 12:10,

That means the alarm had already rung twice.

I was fast asleep and didn't hear a thing.

Will the alarm clock music disturb my friend's sleep?
Crawling out of bed, Dorothy put on her glasses and looked around, observing her surroundings through the sliver of light filtering into the room through the curtains.

On the bed, Huang Musong wore an eye mask and earplugs, with Duoluo using his shoulder as a pillow.

The breathing was steady, with each breath in and out rhythmic.
He was clearly still asleep.

Doro wasn't snoring, and his breathing wasn't very even. His half-asleep state seemed like he was enjoying a nap with his eyes closed.

Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that Doraemon had woken up earlier than her, thinking: "Thank goodness the alarm didn't wake Doraemon." As for Donas…

There's absolutely no need to turn your head to look at it.
Dorothy could hear chewing sounds behind her.

After waking up, since her companions were still asleep, and she herself was still sleeping in, Donas lazily sprawled at the foot of the bed, leaning against the wall and eating an orange. She planned to finish one before going out to the other side of the street to play with Pina.

Pina and Mikasa live in the staff dormitory of the boxing gym.

My own bed is more comfortable, and it also saves money.

Secondly, Pina didn't like hotel-style accommodations; the honeycomb-like structure made her feel uneasy while sleeping.

After finishing her meal, Donas casually grabbed a tissue from the bedside table and wiped the remaining juice from the corners of her mouth.

Seeing that Dorothy was awake, Donas walked closer to her, waving the remaining orange peel in her hand: "Are you hungry? Let's wake up Dorothy, and then take Pina along, to go have lunch together? Last night, Sister Chen Yu told me that there's a newly opened steamed bun shop 300 meters south, and their vegetarian steamed buns are super delicious!"

When the conversation turned to food, her stomach started growling uncontrollably, and Donas almost drooled.

I wasn't that hungry to begin with,
Donas herself was making herself look tempted.

Looking at her companion's silly appearance, Dorothy slowly lowered her eyebrows and squinted, then raised one eyebrow and gave a meaningful sidelong glance.

Dorothy and Donas met back in the Doro world, but they weren't very close at the time. Now, after living and eating together for almost half a year, she knows Donas's personality, habits, and little thoughts all too well.

If Donas simply wanted to go out for a meal, she should have said "ba" instead of "bei" at the end of her question.

"吧" means that everyone goes out to eat together as a group, splitting the bill (AA system).

The meaning of "賥" is to intend to freeload.

Seeing right through her companion's thoughts, Dorothy shook her head helplessly and got dressed. "It's only early December, and you've already spent all your wages? Keep at least a few hundred dollars on hand, just in case!"

"Forget it~"

"I'll treat you to steamed buns today."

The few words sounded like a lecture, but there was no blaming tone.

Dorothy understood that her friend was just quick to spend money, but not wasteful.

Donas converted all her disposable money into compressed biscuits or eggs and milk and stored it in her tail space.

Having overheard his two companions talking about going to eat, Doraemon immediately got up, yawned, and started getting dressed.

"Shh~"

"Let's be quiet, and make sure we don't wake anyone."

"By the time we get back from buying food, everyone will be awake, and there will be steaming hot buns for them as soon as they wake up," Doro said to his companions, putting his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture.

Dorothy gave a soft "hmm" in agreement.

Even Donas, who is usually the most mischievous, unusually went easy on them.

After getting dressed and putting on her shoes, Donas took small steps toward the door and was the first to step out of the room.

The doro members know that people have been very busy with work lately and must be especially tired.

Since I finally have a chance to rest, of course I should sleep more. Getting enough sleep is essential to maintaining good health...

Before long, the three little ones tiptoed out of the hotel, taking a metal monster with them as they left.

To be precise, the metal monsters actively followed the Doro.

With the Metal Monster watching over them, the Doro will be safe enough even when crossing the road.

Arrive at the opposite street
Dorothy walked at the front of the line, her hands tucked into the sleeves of her down jacket; Dorothy was in the middle, occasionally turning back to check if her companions had fallen behind; Donas was at the back, playing with a stone she had picked up.

The three little ones maintained the same line they used when crossing the road.

Once they climbed the stairs into the boxing gym, the Doro members dispersed to do whatever they wanted.

Doraemon discovered that Sister Chen Yu was also helping out at the boxing gym.

It immediately trotted over to greet them.

A warm "Good morning" greeting melted Chen Yu's heart.

Chen Yu leaned back in a folding chair, working on a laptop to create a presentation for the doro brand, targeting female college students.

Seeing that Doraemon had arrived,

Chen Yu released the mouse and keyboard.

She hugged Doraemon warmly and rubbed his cheeks.

"Little Lazy Ro~"

"Why did you say 'Good morning'? You should have said 'Good afternoon'. I've already had lunch at the school cafeteria." Chen Yu took a lollipop out of her pocket, ready to tear open the wrapper and feed it to Duo Luo.

Doro quickly shook her head in refusal, explaining, "I was told not to eat snacks before meals. We're going to eat steamed buns, and since Sister Chen Yu has already had lunch, we won't bring you any back~"

"laugh!"

"Let's treat Sister Chen Yu to steamed buns tonight~"

After saying that, he gently brushed his forehead against Chen Yu's cheek and jumped out of her embrace.

Chen Yu felt a warmth in her heart. The fatigue that had accumulated in the morning was dispelled by Duo Luo's few kind words. Before Duo Luo left, she stuffed a lollipop into Duo Luo's down jacket pocket.

Doraemon glanced at the lollipop.

I didn't refuse Sister Chen Yu's kindness again.
It accepted the lollipop and went to meet its friends.

Meanwhile, in the staff dormitory, Pina was lying sprawled out on her small bed, fast asleep. Her breathing was heavy, but there was no snoring.

Snoring proves that doro people have good sleep quality.

Although Pina isn't a Doro, their body types are similar. If we were to use the analogy of a pet dog or cat, Pina and Doro would be like different breeds of anime/manga creatures—same kind, different species.

Like other animals, they will share certain characteristics; for example, a doro that has lived in the wild for a long time does not snore.

Living outdoors

You can only sleep in a safe place.

Wouldn't snoring attract predators?
Pina was happily taking a nap when she didn't expect the Doro to come looking for her. She needed a midday rest to make up for her late nights and early mornings.

Standing outside the staff dormitory, Dorothy pushed the door open a crack and listened intently to Pina's breathing.

"It's taking a nap..."

"Could it be that I woke up early today?"

Dorothy lowered her voice and spoke to Donas beside her.

Donas nodded, stood on tiptoe, grasped the doorknob, and closed the door to the staff dormitory.

"Looks like Pina isn't in for a treat today."

"Let's go! We'll go get some steamed buns. We'll just bring one back for Pina to try." Without hesitation, she turned and left, Donas's stomach rumbling again. They crossed the street from the hotel across the street, navigating the traffic lights.

Two hundred meters is not a short distance for the short-legged Doro.
Dorothy was a little hungry after exercising. She glanced at the door of the staff dormitory one last time, then trotted a few steps to catch up with Donas.

...

Pina wasn't taken out to eat. Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas held hands and followed the map to the steamed bun shop.

These days, steamed bun shops are rarer than internet cafes.

Moreover, the vast majority of steamed bun shops have become colonies of pre-made food.

Craving some handmade steamed buns?

It's absolutely impossible for the unit price to be less than 10 yuan.

Especially in the capital, where land is extremely valuable, even some time-honored brands use pre-made frozen fillings combined with hand-kneaded dough to make freshly wrapped dumplings.

The store that Dorothy led them to, thanks to its recent opening, is still hesitant to engage in prefabrication in its initial stages.

The doro members enjoyed the fragrant and delicious handmade buns!

Donas wanted xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
The carrot and egg filling has a beautiful red and white color that looks delicious.

The subtle sweetness comes from the steamed carrots, the delicate umami flavor from the scrambled eggs, and the rich aroma from the broth that the restaurant simmered overnight.

Beef bone broth is added to the vegetarian bun filling.

It's so juicy!
Donas didn't care about getting her cuffs dirty. She used her hands to pinch the steamed buns and drowned them in a bowl of vinegar filled with chili oil. She waited for them to cool down before stuffing them into her mouth and chewing them with relish.

“Delicious~”

After chewing a few times and swallowing, Donas finished the whole plate of xiaolongbao in one go. Not satisfied, she then eyed the beef bun in front of Doro.

Beef buns, three per serving, totaling three ounces, sell for 15 yuan.

That works out to 5 yuan per bun!
Doro frowned, wanting to eat but reluctant to, a few drops of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Deep within its pupils, one sees not only three beef buns, but also ten oh-runji.

The price of three beef buns is equivalent to ten Oorunji!
The more Doraemon thought about it, the more luxurious it seemed, and the more he pondered it, the less he wanted to take a bite.

Dorothy was enjoying her meal when she noticed Dorothy hesitating out of the corner of her eye. Without thinking much, she understood what was wrong.

What a coincidence! I don't like lamb buns, so I'll just give them to Doraemon and Donas.

Knowing that Doraemon is stingy with money,
Dorothy tore open the dough of the mutton bun, picked up the mutton filling with her chopsticks, and gave the irregularly shaped meatball to Dorothy.

As for the pasta, Dorothy left it for Donas to eat; the oil-soaked pasta wasn't considered meat and would satisfy her craving.

"You can have my mutton buns, and I'll go buy some beef ones. Anyone want to try some mutton offal soup? I'll buy a big bowl, it'll be just right for us to share." Adjusting her glasses, Dorothy jumped off her chair and swaggered toward the cashier.

He didn't say much, and his voice wasn't loud.

That sounds really extravagant!

A large bowl of mutton offal soup is priced at 35 yuan, which is equivalent to buying at least 30 omelets in a small supermarket in the suburbs, enough to eat for many days.

Doro's mouth opened wide, forming an exaggerated V shape, her small face filled with disbelief.

It doesn't understand.

Why did Dorothy, who has always been frugal, suddenly start spending money like water?
Could it be that they're making a fortune online?

Doro also wants to earn more money. It's not out of greed; he hopes to earn more money to help others (Huang Musong) share the burden of life so that people can have more opportunities to rest.

Donas has little interest in money and barely understands it, only knowing that money can be used to buy things.

It thought: Dorothy is so generous today, spending money without batting an eye, how wonderful!
Thinking about the mutton soup she would soon be able to drink, and that drinking the soup didn't count as eating the meat, Donas rubbed her hands together excitedly.

quickly
Dorothy brought over a plate, a whole plate full of meat buns.

Worried that Dorothy might accidentally get burned, the owner personally brought her lamb offal soup and even gave her two small bowls of stir-fried liver with beef intestines as a bonus.

"Little guys, if I remember correctly, you three are Chairman Huang Musong's pets? We're all from the same street, welcome to patronize our business. We're just opening, so I'll give you two bowls of fried liver for free." The owner put down the tray and placed the mutton offal soup and the dark, grimy fried liver on the table one after another.

Dorothy paid for the mutton soup, and the owner placed the porcelain bowl of soup in front of her.

Having just observed that Donas doesn't eat meat, the owner placed a purely vegetarian stir-fried liver in front of her.

Doro doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables, and the owner placed a version of stir-fried liver with beef intestines in front of Doro.

It must be admitted that the owner of this steamed bun shop is very meticulous, able to recognize the identities of the doro and also discern whether they have any dietary restrictions.

The boss delivered food and fed me
Doro's gaze froze for a moment, then he stammered "Eh?" and scratched his head, at a loss for what to do.

Once he understood the other party's good intentions, Doro quickly stood up to thank them and bowed to the boss while standing on a chair.

"Thank you~"

In a sweet, childlike voice, Doraemon sincerely thanked the other person. Suddenly, Doraemon remembered something, reached into his pocket with his little paws, took out a lollipop, and handed it to the other person.

"Uncle, here's a lollipop for you."

Doro smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth, with a small piece of scallion stuck between his teeth from eating a steamed bun.

With many customers in the store, the owner didn't have time to entertain the doro fans, so he accepted the lollipops and went back to work.

I watched the kind-hearted owner go back to the kitchen.
Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas sat down facing the dining table in perfect unison.

I once ate fried liver with someone. I really liked this sticky food, and the garlic flavor was delicious.

However, this was the first time Doro had ever tried stir-fried liver with beef intestines.

After taking a small sip, Doro remembered that fried liver should be drunk while sipping it, and he imitated the action by swirling the porcelain bowl.

Dorothy also ate fried liver.

It was in the center of the capital, near the corner tower of the Imperial City, and someone (Huang Musong) was treating us.

Dorothy didn't like the strong flavor of authentic stir-fried pork intestines and liver; the gamey smell of lamb offal was the upper limit of the offal flavor she could tolerate.

Donas was the only one who had never eaten fried liver.

Last time at the corner tower, it refused to try the fried liver because it contained pork liver and intestines.

This time, the stir-fried beef intestines and liver is an exception!

Using chopsticks, Donas stirred the thick, viscous broth, carefully checking whether it contained any beef.

“I don’t eat beef…”

Donas muttered to herself, confirming that the stir-fried liver contained no meat, and immediately began to devour it.

After trying a few bites, Donas discovered that the sticky fried liver seemed to be made with starch, making it perfect as a dipping sauce for steamed buns.

So, Donas dipped the steamed bun skin in fried liver and ate until her belly bulged high.

that's all.
Dorothy didn't mind spending a hundred dollars on lunch.

Dorothy couldn't help but wonder: What's going on? Dorothy has become so generous; she must be making a lot of money!

I had similar thoughts during the meal.

Just as he was about to leave the steamed bun shop, Dorothy couldn't resist any longer and grinned as she leaned closer to Dorothy: "You..."

But before Doraemon could even open his mouth,

The shopkeeper, seeing that the doro were about to leave, quickly came to help them push the door open.

"Aren't my steamed buns delicious?"

"If you like it, you can come often. You are welcome to come to my shop for steamed buns." The owner spoke with great enthusiasm and politeness.

Upon hearing this, Doro bowed politely and gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Uncle, for giving us two bowls of fried liver for free. Your steamed buns are delicious! Doro loves big steamed buns!"

After thanking the uncle and waving goodbye, Doro caught up with his companions.

Donas walked ahead, at a slower pace than usual.

On the one hand, eating too much makes it difficult to move around.

On the other hand, we need to wait for Doraemon.

Furthermore, Donas was distracted by what was happening, and it opened its eyes wide and looked up at the sky.

The sky is overcast today; it looks bright, but the sun is nowhere to be seen.

That is to say...

"It's snowing!"

Donas shouted with joy,

A pure white snowflake drifted gently down and landed on its nose. (End of Chapter)
