(What's an operations officer? Anyone want to be one? Just one for now.)
For some reason, Dahei's wolf pack and Mimi always felt a sense of impending doom when they looked at this man.
Tsukasa looked at the cats and dogs-or rather, his attention was mainly on the nameplates around their necks.
Some symbols were engraved on them. Were they used to tell the animals apart?
At that thought, Tsukasa felt he couldn't act.
He wanted to throw away those eyesores, but Chen Yu had already recorded their names, so he couldn't remove them. They were Chen Yu's private property.
And so Tsukasa began a silent staring contest with Mimi and Dahei.
The people nearby noticed the strange atmosphere, but Tsukasa's intimidating presence kept them from approaching. In the distance, Suika was also terrified that he might do something bad to Dahei and Mimi.
In the end, Chen Yu stepped in and called Tsukasa back to model for him.
Hearing Chen Yu call him, Tsukasa immediately ran over without so much as another glance at the cats and dogs.
Chen Yu's calling me. He must need my help with something. I'd better hurry.
Finally, at Chen Yu's request, Tsukasa struck a discus-throwing pose.
Chen Yu quickly carved out the basic details of Tsukasa's pose, then slowly refined them.
In the end, there stood a Tsukasa dressed in what looked like modern sportswear, as though he were competing in the Olympic Games.
"Not bad, not bad. Thanks for the effort, Tsukasa." Chen Yu looked at his work, delighted.
"It was no trouble," Tsukasa said, shaking his head. He stayed by Chen Yu's side. Who knew when they would see each other again? He wanted to spend as much time beside Chen Yu as he could. Every extra moment counted.
"What's this?"
