"..."
"Oh, so you're not going to deny that Xiao Xiang is your master?"
"I just... I just didn't realize it!"
“No need to explain.” Nanami Natsuki waved her hand. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. After all, everyone has their own way of living. Xiao Xiang’s way of living is to be the master of himself and others, and you are to be Xiao Xiang’s obedient dog.”
"All your efforts are for the sake of being closer to your master. The only other aspect of you that is 'human' is perhaps to get rid of the label on you. Oh no... it's not quite right to call it a label. After all, being the illegitimate daughter of the Toyokawa family is really not a label. Even if you wanted to tear it off, you couldn't."
"Yes...but..."
“I really appreciate your struggle because it shows that you are indeed thinking and living in a human way. But after I help you solve this problem, your ‘humanity’ will gradually fade away.”
"Your mind is full of your master, Toyokawa Shoko. Your future seems to revolve entirely around her. As a member of Sumimi, you have never mentioned anything about Mana-neechan to me, because in your eyes she is not very important to you."
"Your happiness is becoming Xiao Xiang's dog. In your eyes, Xiao Xiang is a master who once gave you warmth. Following her, you will also get the happiness you want in the future. In other words, if the person sitting in front of you today is Toyokawa Shoko, and what she is about to say is that you should pretend to be a dog and lick her feet, I don't think you would have any objections, right?"
"...I'm not that kind of person."
"Don't try to impersonate a human, you golden retriever!"
"You...you...you've gone too far! Nanami Natsuki! I've told you so many times, I didn't...!"
"So how do you want to continue your life?" Nanami Natsuki ignored Hatsuka's anger and instead pointed her little foot at Hatsuka, who was kneeling on the ground. "The first option is to start seeking unknown happiness like a normal human being. Of course, doing so means that you must firmly realize that you can only rely on yourself, and you have indeed lost those supports."
"Whether it's Xiao Xiang or your parents, in their eyes you might just be someone who's no longer worth their attention. Of course... at least your career is quite successful."
"What's another option?"
"And of course, there's my dog, Nanami Natsuki~"
As Nanami Natsuki spoke, she pulled out a collar from behind a sofa cushion and threw it in front of Hatsuka. "Put it on, and then give me everything. Use your usual way of thinking to release all the repression in your heart onto me."
"Being human is a very difficult thing, isn't it? You're probably not good at thinking about right and wrong, right? That's why you chose that way of life before. You threw all the problems to your master, so that you wouldn't have to worry even if you did something wrong."
"Because in this way, you are a good dog who has done nothing wrong in front of your owner. This simple and direct feedback of correctness gives you, a person who is born with incorrectness, a great sense of satisfaction. You don't need to think about whether you are doing the right thing every day. You just need to feel the most intense love."
"you you......"
"Wasn't I clear enough? What I mean is that I should play the role you've been hoping for the most. Although I don't know why you and Su Shi couldn't reach an agreement, I know you must be struggling with whether your actions were right or wrong."
"Please, Sister Chuhua, only troublesome humans think about those boring right and wrong things. Being a dog means you don't need to think about those things. Do you want to be a troublesome human?"
"Do you need to make those so-called humans, whose minds are full of doubts and alienation from your ideas, deny your long-held beliefs? And... what will you do after accepting these denials?"
"I have no idea......"
Chu Hua was completely engrossed in Nanami Natsuki's words. She kept recalling, both the fearful look in Xiao Xiang's eyes and Su Shi's reproach.
She had heard these words far too many times. She had been hearing them since she was a child, and had lived with these voices since birth. So why was that?
Why does she have to be constantly denied by those people?
"See? Becoming human is such a bad deal. Look at Sister Yue in front of you. She is so beautiful and lovely, and she is willing to be your only master. She also has the ability to protect you and fulfill all your wishes. From now on, you will never have to go back to those past sufferings again. I will protect you."
"Sister Yue..."
"Yes, I will always be your best master. Xiao Xiang is not suitable to dominate you... You should have realized that, right? The kind of Xiao Xiang you expect who can accept everything about you does not exist."
"She will be afraid of you, but I won't. In fact, I like you just the way you are because you are much more innocent than those dirty adults. What you want is always so simple. How lovely is Sister Chuhua?"
"Also, Xiao Xiang will hope that you become a human being that you can never become, but I won't. Whether you're servile or follow your desires, do whatever you want."
"Perhaps Xiao Xiang has stopped paying attention to you, a stranger, but what about me? I can keep an eye on your location and every move in my own way at all times."
"You don't need to worry about not getting complete attention from others, and you don't need to be bothered by why no one is willing to look at you or care about you."
"I can exert the greatest control over you, and your importance will be proven in the greatest way with me. Every expression of yours, every memory, and even every change that happens to you can be gazed upon and remembered by me."
"Isn't this what makes you happiest? You masochistic golden retriever~"
"Waaah..."
Chapter 104 Meow Dream: Am I in High Demand? (6600 words)
Chu Hua let out a weak, feeble sob, but it expressed her last hope of becoming human.
"Please don't push me like this... I beg you..."
Chu Hua's mind was filled with all sorts of negative emotions, and a bunch of notification sounds triggered by her emotional fluctuations rang in the mind of Nanami Natsuki opposite her, making Nanami, who became excited as a result, laugh more and more wildly.
When Nanami Natsuki's haughty, scrutinizing gaze was fixed on Hatsuka, it did put unprecedented pressure on the girl. Hatsuka's body trembled incessantly, like a pitiful puppy shivering in the wind after being soaked by the rain.
"Sister Chuhua, what are you still hesitating about?"
Nanami Natsuki's voice was very soft, but it was more seductive than anything else. "Look at you now, how pathetic and pathetic you are. Do you still expect anyone to accept you like this? Pfft... Even your name is fake. You've even abandoned your own name and let others decide who you are. You still say you're not someone else's pet?"
Nanami Natsuki bent down and came to Hatsuka's side. She reached out her hand and used her carefully manicured nails to touch Hatsuka's face, gently stroking it.
"Why don't you just admit it? What you crave is never a world where you have to work hard to prove yourself 'right'."
What you crave is to be completely possessed by others, to be absolutely dominated, and to be thoroughly 'seen'.
"And these...only I can give you. Just become my possession, and all your pain, confusion, and loneliness of not being understood will disappear. You will gain the purest place and value that belongs to you."
"me......"
"Think about it~ Under my gaze, you no longer need to be a 'person,' you only need to be 'mine,' and that's enough. Isn't this the deepest desire in your heart that you've always been afraid to admit?"
"Waaah..."
Chu Hua took a deep breath, like a drowning person making their last desperate attempt to survive.
She slowly raised her head, and with considerable difficulty, she revealed her delicate and beautiful face again, now streaked with tears. However, her eyes no longer held the anger, grievance, or bewilderment they had just shown; instead, they were an almost empty void.
The girl named Misaki Miku hates everything, hates the people or things that frighten her, hates herself, and hates her name.
She looked at Nanami Natsuki with no hatred or love in her eyes, but rather a sense of utter taming, bewildered helplessness.
The empty gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on the leather collar that lay quietly on the floor, placed in front of Nanami Natsuki's lap.
The collar gleamed with a cold, submissive sheen under the light, causing Sanjiao Chuhua's breath to catch in her throat.
Time seemed to freeze. All Chu Hua could hear was her own suppressed breathing and Nanami Natsuki's steady heartbeat. No... it should be said that the two of them, so close to each other, were breathing and beating their hearts in sync, making it impossible for Chu Hua to tell them apart for a moment.
Then, Chu Hua finally made her next move.
She slowly extended her right hand, her arm falling limply at its highest point, and finally, the moment her fingers touched the collar, all her strength seemed to return to her body.
There's nothing to resist. She's just that kind of person. Only humans think about right and wrong. For a pet dog that belongs exclusively to Nanami Natsuki, she only needs to simply pursue the "bone" she wants.
"hehe......"
When Misaka Hatsuka regained some consciousness, she was already wearing the collar that belonged to her. However, when she looked at Nanami hugging her neck, Hatsuka didn't feel ashamed. Instead, she felt a strong sense of satisfaction, and a happy smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Sister Yue..."
"Come on, lick my fingers."
"Ah."
Chu Hua did not resist, but looked at Nanami Natsuki's outstretched white wrist with a dazed gaze. She grasped this gift and then began to lick it in accordance with her inner desires, as if she wanted to remember her master's scent, or as if she simply liked the feeling that excited and satisfied her.
"That's enough, don't be too greedy." Nanami Natsuki withdrew her sticky, drool-covered hand, then slapped Hatsuka across the face. "I'll reward you next time you behave well. Now... tell me about Nagasaki Motoyo's situation."
"it is good......"
............
"Should I have treated Chu Hua like that...?" Su Shi paced back and forth in the living room after returning home, feeling uneasy as if she had done something terrible.
"Although she did make a mistake, she also had her reasons, didn't she? And if Xiao Xiang knew what I did to Chu Hua, he would also think I went too far, right?"
Su Shi slumped on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.
After all, maintaining a gentle relationship with everyone has always been her way of surviving. If Li Xi hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have repeatedly violated her usual social patterns.
But what about Chu Hua? What could she possibly change by saying those things? Wouldn't her become even more stubborn after being criticized?
"No...this has nothing to do with me, I didn't turn her into this!"
Nagasaki Motoyo felt like her left and right brains were fighting each other. On one hand, she thought Hatsuka was too much of a fangirl and that such a person should be severely criticized. On the other hand, she felt that given her relationship with Hatsuka, she didn't have the right to arbitrarily judge her right or wrong.
Fortunately, she wouldn't have to worry about these things for long, because Ai Yin was bombarding her with all sorts of messages. Su Shi glanced at them and saw that the messages were all related to that Miao Meng Qin.
Why is this guy so concerned about drumming all day long instead of practicing properly?
Although she really wanted to complain about this, seeing that Aine was indeed helping her achieve the plan she wanted to promote, Suze didn't say anything more.
Since typing was too much trouble, Su Shi decided to make a LINE call instead.
"Su Shi, you won't stand me up, will you? I've already arranged to meet with Meow Meng in Shibuya the day after tomorrow afternoon, at that time..."
"I can go there myself when the time comes."
"Huh?"
Nagasaki Motoyo maintained her indifferent expression, making it impossible for Aine on the other end of the line to discern her thoughts. "Don't you still have to practice your guitar? Now that we're teammates in a band, I feel I should take responsibility for you too."
"But she is me..."
"Just tell her. I think one person is enough for this kind of thing. You won't be of much help anyway, will you?"
"...Alright then."
Ai-yin was seething with anger but had nowhere to vent it. However, she wasn't the type to explode easily, so she could only pout and agree to the matter.
Of course, none of them mentioned how to talk to Xiangzi.
Aine felt that Xiangzi was a "third party" who was squeezing out Xiaoyue's living space, so she didn't really want to talk to her; Su Shi, on the other hand, wanted to act first and ask questions later, and she felt that Xiaoxiang seemed to be very tired today, so she didn't want to bother him.
After ending the call, Nagasaki Motoyo sat there and pondered for a while. She felt that since Hatsuka had sacrificed so much to build trust between the two sides, she should naturally not hide anything from her on important matters.
Su Shi wouldn't unconditionally accommodate Chu Hua's ideas just because she "pitied" him, and she didn't actually shamelessly go to Li hope to pull him back.
That's why she felt even more obligated to make her decision clear, so as not to let that slightly mentally unstable girl think that she was really doing what the other party wanted her to do, which would end up making things awkward for both sides.
"Sigh... I'd rather deal with Nanami Natsuki. This Hatsuka is really hard to know how to handle."
After sending the message, Su Shi stopped responding. She didn't receive a reply from Chu Hua until she finished her homework, practiced bass, took a shower, and went to bed.
............
Two days is not a long time for Su Shi.
On Tuesday, Xiao Xiang still did not come to the band practice. The specific reason was still unclear. Su Shi only knew that she was indeed unable to think about anything else that day. She spent the whole day putting pressure on Ai Yin to ensure that there would be no problems with the first performance after going on stage.
Xiaodeng's question was much simpler, but Su Shi could also tell that Xiaodeng would occasionally look towards the drum set in the recording studio, as if expressing her doubts about Lixi's whereabouts.
