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

“If you really want revenge on someone, the best way is to let them keep living. What place is more like hell than this planet? Only by living can you continue to feel the pain.” His expression was malicious as he spoke, but his eyes shone like jewels.

You think of the dragon in the valley with its chest pierced.

"Is this your insight into the life of a dragon?"

"You've died once before, you should know the answer."

You didn't want to pay attention to his words, but you were very dissatisfied that he had asked you so many questions but hadn't mentioned anything about his own affairs.

You remembered his embarrassed look when you kissed him before, so you mischievously moved closer to him and said, "Actually, it's not that complicated for me to develop more desire."

The dragon seemed to sense your ill intentions. He didn't look at you, but instead gazed in a direction farther than the city of Bita.

The tail that was originally wrapped around you suddenly moved across the space between the two of you.

"Sing that song again."

"You like it that much? But singing a cappella isn't very interesting; it sounds much better with organ accompaniment. Can you get one?"

"It's easy."

He stood up as if to leave, but you grabbed his tail.

"Hey, are you going to get it done right now?"

"tomorrow."

"Can you do me another favor now?"

"explain."

"I want to take a shower."

"..."

"Don't you take a bath? Don't dragons need to take baths? Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen you take a bath. Or did you take a bath behind my back, and I didn't know..." You grabbed him and started nagging.

"Shut up, hold on tight..."

A feeling of weightlessness washed over you as he pulled you into his arms and carried you down the mountain.

.........

"Um... Shall I wash here?"

You look at the huge, pitch-black pool of water, with only a faint moonlight shining on its surface, revealing shimmering ripples.

"There shouldn't be any piranhas or anything like that in here..."

Are you still going to wash?

"wash......"

You haven't taken a bath since the day you arrived at the Dragon Cave, and you feel very uncomfortable.

Now, getting your hands wet will make you feel much better.

After all, can you really expect a complete service to heat water for you?

You had just started taking off your clothes when a certain dragon began to walk away, intending to leave.

"Qin Che! Wait! You can't leave..."

"How can you be so sure I'll listen to you?" He stopped and looked at you with his arms crossed.

"If you leave, you won't even know if I drown in a moment," you quickly replied.

"Don't worry, my soul is still inside you. I can sense when you're about to die."

"...Anyway, don't leave. It's too dark here, and I'm afraid of the dark." You quickly came up with another excuse.

"That's the funniest joke I've heard today." Qin Che chuckled, but had no intention of leaving. He casually leaned against a large tree. "Alright, stop nagging and hurry up and wash."

You see that he finally stopped walking, and quickly took off his clothes and went into the pool.

The water in the pool was even colder than you imagined. You didn't dare go too far to the middle, and instead squatted down along the edge where the water just reached your neck.

The stones beneath your feet are covered in a slippery, moss-like substance, and you tense your body to prevent yourself from slipping and falling.

He splashed water in the pool with his hands, quickly rubbing his skin.
