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

This trip was quite brutal.

The enemy suffered a miserable fate...

Your efforts were spectacular...

The battle with that group was more intense than you imagined.

But this battle was fought to the fullest.

You didn't suffer any serious injuries along the way.

Except for the fact that you accidentally cut your cheek on a shrapnel fragment from the explosion when you were getting too cocky while finishing up, everything else was perfect.

The only drawback is that plans can't keep up with changes.

You originally thought that since you'd flown this far and the fight was over, you should at least go out and have some fun nearby, experience the local customs and culture.

Unfortunately, this place is much worse than you think.

"What a lousy place! There isn't even a decent hotel. Ever's men are suffering terribly. What kind of harsh treatment are they getting? Qin Che! You should post more job advertisements. Seriously, if Ever's gang sees the good treatment at Dark Point, they might abandon Ever and join Dark Point."

This is your reflection after finally finding a simple little hotel in a foreign country to rest and renovate.

"Hmm, your idea is quite good, but before absorbing Ever's people, shouldn't you consider infiltrating Dark Point first...?"

At the simple wooden table, Qin Che was using a cotton swab dipped in iodine to disinfect a small wound on your cheek.

"I'm like someone whose body is in Cao Cao's camp but whose heart is in Han's. I'm already quite wealthy, why would I need to work? You just need to know that my heart belongs to you, to Qin Che! That's enough! I'm doing quite well working in the Hunter Association now, so we have multiple intelligence resources. Don't you agree with what I'm saying?"

You winked at Qin Che, your face full of ingratiation.

"Don't move around, or it'll stick crooked..." Qin Che pinched your chin with one hand to control your fidgeting face, and used the other hand to apply the band-aid.

"Oh dear, it's just a small injury. If you had waited any longer to apply the dressing, the wound would have healed by now." You said carelessly, pulling Qin Che's hand and rubbing your uninjured cheek against it.

Qin Che's rough fingertips caressed the skin on your cheek, his crimson eyes staring intently at you without saying a word.

Inside the simple house, the air was filled with a faint musty smell mixed with the lingering smell of gunpowder.

You stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly, you stood up from your seat, leaned in front of Qin Che, and hugged him.

Qin Che felt the warmth of the little person in his arms, wrapped his arms around your waist, and buried his face in your neck.

A few strands of hair brushed against the tip of his nose, still faintly carrying the smell of gunpowder.

"Qin Che, I'm very happy to have fought alongside you this time. There were so many enemies, and they were so powerful, yet we escaped unscathed. You see, I'm a partner you can entrust your back to, right..." You rested your chin on Qin Che's shoulder and said slowly.

"Hmm..." Qin Che's voice was still a little hoarse.

You moved closer, hugging him tighter: "I admit it first, it was my fault for getting injured. I was wrong. But I promise I'll be much more careful next time. And thank you for not saying anything about never wanting to go on adventures with me again just because I got hurt..."

Qin Che's large hand gently brushed across your back: "There's no need to thank me for something like this..."
