Sweet daily life of Little Tanuki and Qin Che in Love and Deep Space

You poked the branch in your hand into his chest again, striking a defiant starting pose: "I'm serious..." Taking advantage of the fact that the child couldn't understand, you shouted, "Take this from my dog-beating stick!"

Qin Che let out a low, pleasant laugh, narrowly dodging your blow, and said, "That was a really heavy hit. It would have hurt a lot to take that..."

You give him a sweet smile: "I have confidence that you can dodge it."

You taught that child the weaknesses of this kind of traffic-generating entity in several moves, so when you struck Qin Che, you only touched the target and stopped.

After all, if you hurt yourself, you're the one who'll feel the pain.

The live-action demonstration continued, but your "sword" was knocked away by the "wandering body" at some point, so you ended up fighting hand-to-hand.

After another battle, you finally knocked the "wandering creature" to the ground. With Qin Che's subtle water attack, you pinned Qin Che to the ground, not forgetting to tell the child, "Even if you've won, don't forget to finish him off."

After saying that, he made another gesture to make sure he could understand.

The two of them were covered in dust; the "wanderer" was "killed." You've finally gotten up from the ground.

Suddenly, the boy stood up excitedly, a small flame burning in his eyes.

His eyes were piercing, and you could feel that several words were clearly written in them: Come and fight! I felt incredibly strong at that moment!

He came forward, pointed to the stray animal tied to the tree, then to Qin Che, and mumbled something you couldn't understand.

Then, to your astonishment, he pulled a gleaming silver dagger from his sleeve.

"Does he really think you're a wandering soul? He's going to put you to real combat now?" You frowned, looking at Qin Che. "Be careful..."

Qin Che slightly curled the corners of his lips: "Could I be hurt by him?"

"I told you to be careful not to hurt him!"

"..."

The expression of the "wandering creature" that was about to be attacked froze, and then a faint smell of vinegar emanated from its body.

Without any opening remarks, the boy, like a small beast baring its fangs, attacked with incredible speed and agility, wielding a dagger. With a leap, he soared high into the air from the ground.

But the next second, he was encircled by a black and red energy body and hung on a tree.

"..."

You twitched the corner of your mouth and covered your eyes with a hint of helplessness.

A deep, magnetic voice sounded in my ear: "You haven't improved."

Qin Che seemed unwilling to say more, and flicked the energy particles swirling around his hand.

He glanced at you, who were staring blankly at the boy "swinging" in the tree, covered in dirt, and said, "Come on, aren't you uncomfortable being so dirty? Let's go take a shower."

That's when you realize just how ridiculously dirty you are, with dirt all over your head and face.

You hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the child and asked, "Shouldn't we let him go first? Is it alright to leave him hanging like this?"

"You don't need to worry about it..."

Before the words were even finished, an old woman appeared out of nowhere and walked to the tree.

The dark red energy vanished abruptly, and the boy fell to the ground with a "plop" right in front of her.

The old woman grabbed the boy's ear with one hand and pushed you and Qin Che, both covered in dirt, into her bathroom with the other.

Fifteen minutes later...

In a bathroom with a strong ethnic style of decoration, you hold your hands high, supporting a water bag, which you are using as a human shower head for Qin Che inside.
