When Am I Getting That
Raise?══════ •『 ♡ 』• ══════
" Watch your dog, lady! " a man yelled, shaking his shoe where Kumo had just peed.
" Sorry! " you exclaimed, gripping Kumo's leash tightly as he dragged you through the city streets.
Earlier today, you had managed to wrap your blazer around your skirt to cover the tear. You stopped by your old apartment to pick up extra clothes and toiletries for your stay at the mansion. Now, you and Kumo were on your way back, but he wasn't making it easy.
Kumo suddenly stopped in his tracks and started sniffing through a garbage bin. " Ew, " you gagged. " Kumo! No! " you scolded, tugging him away, trying to keep him from diving deeper into the trash.
He desperately clawed at the bin, flipping it over and spilling a mysterious liquid onto the ground. " Oh my god, Kumo, " you groaned. " Bad boy! " you scolded, using all your strength to pull him away from the mess.
Suddenly, a woman collided with you, making you yelp as you stumbled. She was sprinting, her face a mask of urgency. Is she late for work? you wondered, brushing off your clothes and feeling irritated by her rudeness. But then you noticed more people running from the opposite direction, their faces filled with fear.
You raise an eyebrow and turn to see what they are fleeing from. Your breath catches in your throat.
" Kaiju. "
You start to run with them, your breath shaky as you scramble away. Kumo follows, surprisingly cooperative. " It's Ultraman! " some citizens cheer. A deafening roar fills the air as Ultraman appears, his towering frame charging at the giant threat and effectively knocking it back into the water. But Ultraman is far from your main focus at the moment—the people shoving you aside and stepping on your heels are.
The crowd erupts in cheers and praises as Ultraman takes his stance, delivering another powerful blow to the Kaiju, scaring it away. It retreats to the waters, and the people chant Ultraman's name in glee.
Ultraman hypes up the crowd as they cheer, striding back into the city and basking in their adulation. Good for him, good for the city, but not good for your outfit.
" God, " you mutter, gently tugging on Kumo's leash in a subtle plea for cooperation. " Woof! " Kumo exclaims before dashing forward. " Kumo! " you yell in surprise, struggling to keep up with his pace. Your heels scrape on the cement as you stumble.
" Bad boy! " you shout, but Kumo remains undeterred. He runs toward Ultraman, his tail wagging wildly in circles. Barking at the towering figure, you begin to panic as Ultraman starts to move forward, but Kumo refuses to back down.
( I've had a similar experience where my golden retriever started wagging her tail in circles, I thought it was adorable. 😭)
Ultraman's steps are slow but deliberate, yet fast enough that stepping on a small dog could easily look like an accident.
You yelp as you watch Ultraman raise his foot, and Kumo attempts to run underneath. Panic strikes, and you hunch down, grabbing the big ball of fur by his torso and pulling him out of harm's way. You hit your back on the hard pavement, and people gasp as you make the close save.
