“I’m telling you in advance that I absolutely do not want to live with you because I have no other feelings for you.”

“Ka-kang!”

You’re lying! You like me, right? Or what? He growled, baring his fangs, in amazement at the obvious trick he was trying to pull off. Chase snorted.

“Bark or wag your tail… Just one thing?”

Although I was dissatisfied. I couldn’t help but feel my survival instinct kick in. I turned my head away, trying to stop my tail from moving on its own.

“Krrrrrr!”

“Since you’re in the panther’s den, do you want to get eaten?”

“Kang…?”

“So just listen carefully. Do you understand?”

“Kkiing…”

He had brought it here against his will, and his every word was a threat. He was very upset inside, but perhaps because he was really afraid of becoming food for the black panther, his arms and legs no, his four legs gave out, and his tail drooped on its own.

The season was already heading towards midwinter, and the already chilly house felt even colder. The black panther seemed to be unaffected by the cold, but I was a weak puppy.

I curled up into a ball and curled up on Chase’s lap. Chase looked at me in disbelief and started to slap me.

“Puppy. Is this your living room?”

“Kang?”

I was really annoyed that Chase kept nagging me without getting to the main point. I buried my face in my forelegs and glanced at him. Since I already hated the cold, my mood was getting worse.

I used to be sensitive to the cold, but I even developed a trauma after being locked in a freezer and dying in my previous life. Whenever I thought about the original Leoruka jumping into the cold lake covered in ice, I would get goosebumps. And now, I was right in front of that ice lake! It was an environment where PTSD would really kick in.

“… So, I got a diagnosis from that doctor a few days ago.”

While my whole body was trembling like that. Chase started to say what he wanted to say. Okay, let me hear it. I raised my head and pricked up my ears. Then Chase suddenly stopped talking and stared blankly at my ear.

As the silence grew longer. I tilted my head and looked up at him.

“Huh?”

“The color of your ears is really…”

After muttering something to himself, he covered his mouth with his large hand and coughed in vain as if he had been possessed. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at me, who was blankly staring at him, while gritting his teeth as if he had made up his mind.

“Live with me!”

“Karung!”

No! My tail was tensed up, and my hair stood on end as if I had been electrocuted. Are you crazy, seriously?

“The morning sickness is so bad that we have to live together to get rid of it!”

“Kakang! Kang!”

Where did you eat something wrong, and why are you talking nonsense about morning sickness? You have indigestion!

“It’s not a cold. There’s no other illness. It’ll go away if I take your pheromones. So, at least for the time being…”

“Kurururung! Kangkang!”

What does that have to do with me! If you live next to a black panther and shiver, you’ll lose the baby in less than a week! No, I’m not saying I’ll give birth, but anyway, lose the baby!

“Then what are you going to do? You don’t care if I die?”

“Kang? Kakang!”

Dying, why are people so extreme! You were threatening me, and now you’re doing it with your body? I was so angry that I jumped off Chase’s lap and onto the sofa, jumping around and biting the cushions and throwing them on the floor. Then Chase grabbed me with his nervous hands and held me up in front of me.

“Look at me. Can’t you see how hungry I am? I haven’t slept or eaten properly for a week. Even if I drink water, I throw it all up.”

“Bang!”

He looks fine!……. I tried to argue, but then I looked at him and saw that his under-eye area was dark and somewhat pale, and he looked particularly sickly today. He had become a decadent beauty. How could he be so dazzling in that state?

“Look at you now. It was hard all along, but you’re okay now. I told you I can’t do without you.”

“Karrrung! Kakang!”

Please stop shouting like such a tragic male protagonist! Can’t you hear what you’re saying? And you still say you don’t like me? Are you a fraudulent fan?!

Goosebumps covered my entire body. My ears and tail were pricked up, and all four legs were stretched out stiffly, trembling. I wanted to run away from Chase’s grasp right away. However. Chase’s imitation of the tragic protagonist was endless.

“I just need you. What if I die like this?”

“Kaaaang! Kang Kang Kang!”

Why die! Even in the original, I was the only one who died? I was so shocked that I kept screaming, and then with a bang. I unknowingly turned back into a human. While Chase was panicking and hurriedly covering me with clothes, I was still on my knees, shouting in anger.

“Speaking of sensible words! Where does anyone die from morning sickness?”

“Even if you don’t die, it’s really hard.”

“You’ll be fine. Just hold on a little longer. Fighting!”

“You’re leaving me like this? Are you really not going to take responsibility?”

“What? What responsibility do I have?”

The more he spoke, the more ridiculous it became. Why should I take responsibility for you, leaving the main character behind! I kicked my feet in the air and struggled. Then Chase picked me up and hugged me, glaring at me…

“You did what you had to do. Are you going to pretend not to know? Are you really that bad of a man, puppy?”
