The Chu Family truly deserves its reputation as the foremost family in Shun City, quickly gathering all the necessary items.

I immediately set about repairing the soul and healing the stray dog.

The stray dog began to gradually warm up to me, warming my feet every night.

With the dog's warmth, I was able to sleep well each night.

My body recovered rapidly, and the dog's balding fur slowly grew back.

It turns out that love can indeed rapidly regrow flesh and blood.

The stray dog, who was emaciated to the point of distortion and covered with scars when it first arrived, finally grew smooth and shiny black and yellow fur, and its body size increased somewhat.

To aid in the quick recovery of my soul, the Chu Family Master allowed me to wander around the courtyard.

Each day, I would take the dog for a walk, cultivating a bond along the way.

On this day, like usual, I was strolling in the courtyard with the dog.
