The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"it is good…"

Yuanyuan was lying on the table, studying the colored potion carefully. Uncle Laven taught her how to mix five colors of dye in total.

She put a little on her finger and applied it on her nails, painting each finger a different color.

After painting, put your two little hands together and show a satisfied expression.

After thinking about it, he pushed all the dyes to the edge of the table, jumped off the chair, and stood on tiptoe to get all the dyes.

She kicked off her shoes, bent her toes and started to apply the paint on her toes, not wasting a single drop of the paint.

Raven processed the documents as quickly as possible and entered the laboratory only to find that the table by the window was empty.

"Yuanyuan?"

He glanced around in panic, and his voice trembled slightly when he called the child's name.

The cub has always been a good and obedient child in front of him, so he shouldn’t secretly drink any potion, right?

"Yuanyuan?"

When he called for the second time, a black paw was raised from under the table: "Uncle Laverne, I'm here."

"Huh..." Raven let out a long sigh and walked towards her quickly: "What are you doing hiding down there alone?"

“I’m dyeing…”

Yuanyuan giggled, put the last drop of red dye on her tail, and rubbed it evenly with her little hands.

"Oh? Let me see what the little one has created that will amaze...admire...me..."

Raven looked at the little wolf cub with red and yellow spots on his body, and his thin lips slowly opened into an O shape.

"Does it look good? There's no mirror here."

Yuanyuan let go of her colorful tail, and her two front paws were dyed black because they were stained with dyes of various colors.

"Strange... beautiful..."

He had never seen colorful black, but today Raven saw colorful blue with his own eyes.

The little guy is fluffy and chubby in animal form, and he doesn’t look ugly even if he’s dyed in color.

But are those two green eye circles serious?

Never mind, it's kind of cute even if it's weird.

"Uncle Laverne, I'll go back and show it to dad."

Yuanyuan shook the hair on his body with satisfaction, and ran away with four legs of different colors clacking.

The sky outside the window darkened again, with layers of dark clouds gathering. It looked like another heavy rain was coming.

Yuga supported his chin with one hand and looked at the light screen, half of his face was shrouded in shadow, and his peripheral vision couldn't help but glance in the direction of the sofa.

I'm used to seeing my children like this every day, and now that they're not around I feel like something's missing.

People can't stand nagging. Just when he thought of his child, the door opened automatically, and the child jumped onto his desk with his short legs.

Since the child started participating in morning training, he has learned to flash quickly, but the distance is short and he can only flash twice in a row at most.

"Father, look at me, look at me!"

Yuanyuan jumped around on the table, sometimes standing up on her hind feet, sometimes rolling on her back on the table, showing off her new skin in all directions.

"Uh……"

Yuga looked at the hair around the child's eyes that was painted green, and his hand holding the cup of water shook, almost spilling the hot water on his pants.

"Do I look good? Uncle Laverne said I look good."

"Um…"

"What do you mean?"

Yuanyuan raised her paw and patted the back of his hand, tilting her head and shaking her ears.

"Yeah that's what Raven said, it's cute."

Yuga pressed its head and said, "If the child likes it, don't destroy her self-confidence."

"Then I'll go show it to everyone."

"It's going to rain, don't go outside."

Looking at the child who disappeared again, Yuga smiled and shook his head helplessly.

The cub's unique aesthetic was unanimously praised by the soldiers, who all said that her aesthetic was very advanced.

Yuanyuan held his head high and ran away like the wind, all the way to the prison.

"Without orders from above, I can't open the door for you."

The prison guard looked at the child squatting at the door of the interrogation room with embarrassment. Although she was the child of a major general, she had no real power.

"Uncle, I'll go in and take a look. I won't cause any trouble."

Yuanyuan walked around his legs, her golden eyes sparkling under the light.

"I'm going to ask the Major General what he means. Can you wait?"

The prison guard looked at the child who was pulling at his trouser legs with her front paws and felt too embarrassed to reject her in a tough manner.

“Okay…” Yuanyuan squatted aside obediently.

Al in the interrogation room seemed to hear the child's voice. He raised his eyelids and looked towards the door with gloomy eyes.

Being locked in here and unable to see outside, he had no idea how much time had passed.

After receiving the request, Yuga stared at the message for a few seconds and agreed to the child's request to visit Al.

"You can come out now, but your movement range cannot exceed 50 meters, and don't try to escape."

The prison guard opened the interrogation room and looked coldly at the mermaid curled up in the corner.

"Can I go out?"

Al thought he was hallucinating. Looking at the little wolf squatting at the door, the confusion in his eyes became even greater?

What kind of animal is that colorful one?

When my feet touched the ground, a tingling sensation spread throughout my body. I had been maintaining the same position for too long.

"Uncle Al, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Al stuttered, "Are you Yuanyuan?"

Is the prototype of Sirius so explosive?

It has a pair of green eye circles, but why does the tip of one of its claws have five colors?

"Yes, do you think the color I dyed it looks good?"

"Dyed?"

"Hmm..." The little guy nodded, looking forward to his answer.

"Who dyed it for you?" You have such a mean heart.

“I dyed it myself.”

"Uh..." Al swallowed back some of the unpleasant words: "What a childlike and interesting color."

This shouldn't be considered a lie, right?

"I'll take you out to have a look."

Yuanyuan felt that El's boasting was more advanced than that of other soldiers because she could not quite understand it.

The little guy grabbed his trouser legs, stood on tiptoes and patted his palm.

"it is good…"

Al looked at the winding corridor, met the warning eyes of the prison guard, and lowered his head silently.

Boom——

Yuanyuan took him to sit under the eaves outside the prison, and a flash of lightning split the dark clouds.

This was the first time that Al saw the outside world since he was captured here. He had never seen such a harsh and desolate scene.

"You...live here?"

"Yes, this is my home with my father and everyone else."

Yuanyuan lay on the bench under the eaves. She had seen such weather many times and had long been accustomed to it.

Boom——

Boom——

Two consecutive flashes of lightning illuminated the earth as bright as day. The sound of rain fell from far away, and an unpleasant smell wafted over.

Al wrinkled his nose and felt uncomfortable with the smoke. He looked at the furry child beside him and said, "Don't you think it smells bad?"

A wolf's sense of smell is much sharper, so how come she didn't react at all?

"If you smell it more often, it won't smell bad anymore."

"..."

Al looked at her indifferent expression, raised his hand and hovered it over her head for a moment, then retracted it and touched the tip of his nose.

"What does your home look like? Is it as beautiful as the one on Cartas?"

In Yuanyuan's world, the most beautiful planet is Katas.

"..."

Al looked at her cute appearance of licking her paws, pursed his lips and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He didn't really want to talk about his hometown with outsiders, and he didn't know if Yuga had sent her to get information.

But she is only three years old, how could she have any bad intentions?

"My home is the blue sea. It is very beautiful there, even more magnificent than the planet Cartas."

“Is the sea fun?”

Yuanyuan turned around with interest, put her two paws on his legs and rested her head on them, wanting to listen to him talk about a different world.

"It's fun. The people there are kind and lovely. There are houses made of shells and magnificent palaces..."

When Al talked about his hometown, he couldn't help but say a lot. It was a peaceful place and everyone was like family.

"Can I come to your house to play?"

After listening to his description, Yuanyuan developed a yearning for the place. There were some things she had never seen and could not imagine, but she just felt that they were magical and beautiful.

"..."

These words brought Al back to reality, and he looked at the cub with a scrutinizing gaze.

But the little fellow's grip on him was quietly tightening, as if he was very nervous and afraid of being rejected, and he wagged his colorful tail at him.

"If there is a chance, with the chief's permission, I would like to invite you to my home."

He really couldn't say no to a child who lived in such a harsh environment and yearned for a better place.

He didn't trust anyone here, but the child was innocent.

"Really? Then I'll let you be my best friend."

Yuanyuan opened his front paws and pressed them on his legs, then stretched out his body, jumped onto the ground and frolicked around the chair.

For some reason, Al felt sad when he saw that he was as happy as a puppy just because she agreed to let him visit.

In the history of mermaids, there was a tragic experience in which they were almost exterminated.

There is an essay in the history book of the college: The skinny child hid behind his dying mother and asked weakly: "Mom, can we return to the sea?"

Whenever he turned the pages of that dark history, he felt heavy and bitter, with shame and hatred welling up in his heart, and everything seemed to be vivid in his mind.

I always admire the tenacity and faith of our ancestors, and I also admire the strength of Vitalia and Yuanyuan.

But now facing the tyranny of the interstellar space, how can they resist?

Looking at the desolation before him, he couldn't help but think of the future of the mermaids.

The rainstorm lasted for an hour. The two of them were silent. The little guy was having a lot of fun chasing his tail.

"..."

Al kept his eyes on her, wanting to pry some information out of her, but hesitant about whether to speak.

If they didn't know each other, I would use her without any psychological burden, but she said she treated me as a friend.

Can the enemy of my enemy really be my friend?

"Baby, it's time to eat."

A refreshing male voice interrupted his thoughts, and Yuga steadily caught the fancy little wolf that pounced on him, with a warm and intimate smile on his handsome face.

"Father, will Uncle Al come to dinner with us?"

"Someone will bring him food."

"goodbye!"

Yuanyuan waved his paw at him and asked his father what delicious food there was tonight.

The guards took Al back to the interrogation room after they left.

"Father, Uncle Al said that I can go to his house to play in the future. His house is very beautiful..."

The little guy chattered on and on about his conversation with El, and Yuga listened carefully. They were all things that could be found.

However, he had not expected to agree to let the child visit.

"Did he ask you anything?"

"No…"

Yuanyuan shook her head. She was the one who asked the questions. She would not speak unless she asked.

canteen--

Yuanyuan in beast form couldn't hold the cutlery, so he opened his mouth and waited for his father to feed him.

"Father, I noticed that everyone is very happy today."

"Ok?"

Yuga picked off the meat crumbs stuck on the child's beard. It seemed that there was nothing worth everyone's joy today.

“Everybody was laughing.”

Everyone who passed by her had curved eyes and curled lips.

"Maybe I saw some cute little mascot."

As Yuga fed her, he felt like laughing as well.

Who could resist smiling at a little wolf with green eyes?

Everyone is afraid that children will feel inferior if they laugh too loudly.

After all, this potion won't disappear in a short time.

“I’m the mascot.”

"How do you know I'm talking about you?"

“Because everyone is looking at me.”

Yuanyuan raised her head proudly. Everyone must be looking at her because she is cute.

"Little clever ghost..."

Yuga's bony fingers gently pulled the child's beard, and his little head was working quite quickly.

For the entire afternoon, Yuanyuan didn't see with her own eyes what her face looked like after being painted.

After returning to where he lived and standing in front of the mirror to see his face clearly, he was silent for a long time, and his small figure looked like it was about to fall apart.

There was a flash of blue light and she changed back to human form, only to find that it was even worse than her beast form, as the potion appeared on her face.

"..."

Yuga came out of the bathroom and saw the child squatting on the ground with a blanket wrapped around him, covering his mouth and whimpering softly. He quickly wrapped the child up and picked him up.

"Why are you crying?"

“Wow…Father…Everyone is laughing at me…Ahhh…”

Yuanyuan, who realized it belatedly, covered her face and cried bitterly. No wonder everyone laughed when they saw her.

"Do not……"

Yuga moved the child's hands that were covering his face away, his pursed lips suddenly stretched open, and he pinched the outside of his thigh hard to hold back his laughter.

The beast form is funny but also a bit cute, but when it turns into a human form, it is just funny...

"No, colorful ones are cute too."

"Father, I... uh... I want to... wash my face... ahhhh..."

Yuanyuan now finds it hard to believe that her father is praising her, because she thinks her green face is not pretty at all.

"..."

Yuga tried his best to control his eyes not to look at the child's face, and took her to the bathroom to wash the dye off her face.

The colored potion faded a little after being touched by water. Yuanyuan rubbed the color off her hands, and her little face turned into a bitter gourd.

"Don't be sad. Let Uncle Laverne mix you a discoloring agent tomorrow. The color will disappear soon."

Before going to bed, the child kept hiccuping, clutching the quilt with his little hands and not saying a word.

Fortunately, the thoughtful Uncle Laven was worried that she would be laughed at during her morning training, so he sent her some medicine before the training started, saving her looks.

Yuanyuan was very interested in mixing potions, so after the morning training, she started to learn from Laven.

However, Uncle Laven does not have time to study these things in the laboratory every day. Sometimes he is so busy that he disappears all day.

Raven was worried that she would go to the lab to drink alone, so she deleted her identity information from the access control.

Because he no longer wanted to play hide-and-seek with the kid who drank the shrinking potion.
