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

"What, you think you can move me with your human love?" His tone was cold, with obvious skepticism.

He couldn't understand what was so appealing about things that humans found repulsive.

“No…” You looked away from him and leaned back against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said, “It’s my business that I like you, and it’s my instinct to want to kiss you. You can choose to accept or refuse, just follow your instincts.”

After you said that, you thought the dragon would just run away like last time.

Unfortunately, he didn't. He simply said meaningfully, "I'll remember that."

He covered you with the blanket that had fallen off, then adjusted himself into a comfortable position and lay down, saying, "Go to sleep."

That night, you saw him in your dream again.

He fell into the valley, and many Holy Judgment soldiers wielding spears thrust their sharp blades into his chest.

He continued to slide down, the sharp rocks mercilessly tearing at his body, the dragon's roar echoing through the valley before gradually fading away.

However, what lay at the bottom of the valley was not a dragon, but a dying boy.

The city of Tar is located not far from the foot of the Dragon Cave. Unlike other cities, Tar's market is quite unique.

"That stall I just passed... I wasn't mistaken, was it, displaying some kind of homeless person's head?"

"You reacted quickly. Do I need to remind you what kind of wandering creature's thighs you're fiddling with right now?"

You placed the item you were holding back on the stall untouched: "Um... the residents of Tar City have rather unique tastes. Don't tell me this is for eating..."

"What, scared?" He observed your reaction with a leisurely air.

"No, I just suddenly thought of..." You paused deliberately, "that painting we were studying together for so long, was the canvas made of dragon skin?"

"..."

"What, scared?" You imitated it perfectly.

"I don't remember my tone being that irritating just now," Qin Che said with amusement.

"Then you must be mistaken. I have only learned one-tenth of your essence."

You drag him into one mysterious shop after another, knowing that pipe organs won't be sold there.

But being able to "stroll" with him in such a special place is also a unique experience for you.

Just seeing the omnipotent demon in distress makes you feel that even if you're exhausted today, it's all worth it.

"Don't you need to disguise yourself at all?"

“No need. Nobody believes a demon would come to the market,” he said casually. “Besides, every human sees a demon differently. Some see ugliness, some see horror and cruelty… They don’t see me, they see their own hearts.”

You pass by a stall, pick up a mirror on the table, and see the face of a dragon reflected in it.

"Then do you want to guess what you look like in my eyes?"

He seemed to have heard some childish joke, so he lowered the mirror and brought his face close to yours.

"At least, he is much more handsome and majestic than the one depicted in the 'God Slaying Demons' painting."

“In my eyes, you are a cute little dragon.” You simply put down the mirror, pointed to two horns above your head with your fingers, and cheekily poked Qin Che’s shoulder twice with those “horns.”
