Chapter 25

Prairie Dog

โ€œLuria , Iโ€™m going to help wash the prairie dog.โ€

โ€œYes, that sounds good.โ€

I chased after the maid, who was holding the prairie dog, with Daru.

The maid headed towards the servantโ€™s bathroom.

Peeking inside from the changing room, the maid was preparing a larger tub.

Inside the tub, the prairie dog was sitting.

โ€œIโ€™m going to add water, so please stay still.โ€

โ€œKyuuui.โ€

The prairie dog was standing on its hind legs, looking around.

โ€œReally, itโ€™s so calmโ€ฆ For some reason, the animals around Lady Luria  are always calm.โ€

As the maid said this, she prepared the water.

While Daru and I watched, my mother came from behind.

โ€œLuria , arenโ€™t you going in?โ€

โ€œI thought it would be better not to interrupt.โ€

โ€œYes, but youโ€™re going to wash it, arenโ€™t you?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m going to wash it.โ€

โ€œSorry, it seems like Luria  wants to help wash it.โ€

My mother spoke to the maid, and it was decided that I would wash the prairie dog.

โ€œStay calm now.โ€

โ€œKyuuui~โ€

I wet its whole body with warm water and started lathering it with soap.

โ€œBe careful with the face, donโ€™t get soap in its eyes or ears.โ€

My mother told me from behind as I worked.

โ€œGot it! Oh, thereโ€™s a lot of dirt on its paws!โ€

โ€œPrairie dogs dig holes.โ€

โ€œI see~โ€

After washing it clean, I wrapped it in a towel and held it.

โ€œKyuuikyyui.โ€

The prairie dog made a sweet sound and snuggled up to me.

โ€œSo cute!โ€

โ€œKyui.โ€

โ€œLuria , arenโ€™t you going to give it a name?โ€

โ€œA name, huhโ€ฆ Hmmโ€ฆโ€

โ€œYou can go with your intuition, like Leonardo. How about that?โ€

โ€œLeonardo, huhโ€ฆโ€

My mother seemed to recommend Leonardo, but personally, I didnโ€™t like it much.

โ€œWhat name would be good?โ€

โ€œKyuuui.โ€

โ€œHm? Do you want it to be Kyuuui?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s just a sound it makes. It doesnโ€™t mean it wants to be named โ€˜Kyuuui.โ€™ I think โ€˜Leonardoโ€™ or something like that would be better.โ€

โ€œBut I think Kyuuui sounds better.โ€

I placed the prairie dog a little further away.

โ€œMom, call it. Luria  will also call it.โ€

โ€œShould I call it Leonardo?โ€

โ€œYes, letโ€™s see who wins.โ€

I decided to let the prairie dog choose.

โ€œLeonardo, come here~โ€

But, sneakily, my mother was holding a nut in her hand.

โ€œMm! Kyuuui, come here.โ€

The prairie dog was looking between my mother holding the nut and me, confused.

โ€œItโ€™s undecided. Maybe both are good names?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s just attracted to the nut!โ€

In the next moment, the prairie dog rushed over as if it was charging and jumped into my arms.

โ€œHm? It came all of a sudden?โ€

โ€œKyuuui~ Kyuu~โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

As the prairie dog snuggled up to me, I thought for a moment.

โ€œKyuuuiโ€ฆ It came even though I didnโ€™t call it. Maybe Leonardo and Kyuuui are both equally good?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s not true. Leonardo is the best.โ€

The prairie dog, even though it saw the nut, didnโ€™t go to my mother. So, Leonardo was rejected.

โ€œHm? Do you want the nut?โ€

โ€œKyuuikyuui.โ€

โ€œI wonโ€™t give you the nut. Do you want to be named Nut?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ?โ€

The prairie dog looked up at me with sad eyes, as if asking, โ€œWhy would you say such a cruel thing?โ€

โ€œDo you want the nut?โ€

โ€œKyui, kyuuuiii!โ€

โ€œLooks like you just want to eat it.โ€

I almost named it Nutโ€ฆ that was close.

Anyway, while feeding the prairie dog a nut, I asked again.

โ€œHow about Kyuuui? Kyui?โ€

โ€œKyui?โ€

The prairie dog grabbed the nut skillfully with both paws, eating it while tilting its head.

โ€œOr how about Kyau?โ€

โ€œKyuuui~โ€

I called it in different ways, watching for its reaction.

โ€œLuria  really wants to put โ€˜Kyuโ€™ and โ€˜Kyaโ€™ in the name. I think Leonardo would be better.โ€

My mother said this, but I ignored it.

Leonardo is a good name, but itโ€™s too hard for me, a three-year-old, to say.

So, it was rejected.

After calling it in different ways, โ€œCarro โ€ got the best reaction.

โ€œOkay, its name will be Carro !โ€

โ€œKyui, kyui!โ€

It seems like Carro also liked the name, so thatโ€™s good.

Saying this, Mother spoke as if resigned.

โ€œWell, since the owner is Luria , if Luria  is happy with it, thatโ€™s fine.โ€

โ€œYep! Carro, nice to meet you!โ€

โ€œKyui, kyui.โ€

Carro chirped happily and looked at the nuts in Motherโ€™s hand while snuggling up to me.

After playing with Carro for a while, Mother spoke.

โ€œBy now, Carroโ€™s toilet should have been set up in your room.โ€

โ€œA toilet, huh?โ€

โ€œLuria  will have to teach Carro how to use it properly, okay?โ€

โ€œLeave it to me. Carro, follow me.โ€

โ€œKyui!โ€

I got on Daruโ€™s back and headed to my room. Behind me, Mother, the maid, and Carro followed.

When we got to my room, I saw the newly installed toilet. It had sand in it, making it easy to handle waste.

โ€œCarro! This is your toilet!โ€

โ€œKyui kyui?โ€

โ€œWhen you need to go, you do it here.โ€

โ€œKyui~?โ€

I could feel that Carro didnโ€™t quite understand yet.

โ€œLet me show you how itโ€™s done.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t!โ€

I tried to show Carro how to use the toilet, but Mother stopped me.

I was confused.

โ€œKyuu~โ€

It seemed like Carro was interested in Daruโ€™s toilet. Daruโ€™s toilet was bigger than Carroโ€™s, but it also had sand in it, just like Carroโ€™s.

โ€œThis is Daruโ€™s toilet.โ€

โ€œWoof!โ€

โ€œCarro~?โ€

โ€œHm, is it your toilet, Luria ? Itโ€™s over here.โ€

In my room, the toilet is next to the bed.

โ€œThis is it!โ€

โ€œKyuu~โ€

โ€œItโ€™s nothing to brag about, but Luria  hardly ever has accidents.โ€

โ€œKy?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s true. Since I stopped wearing diapers, Iโ€™ve only had a few accidentsโ€ฆ I can count them on one hand.โ€

โ€œKyuu~โ€

Carro looked at me with admiration. As a three-year-old, I felt proud.

โ€œAnd this is Carroโ€™s toilet. I hope Carro can use it properly, just like Luria .โ€

โ€œKyuu~โ€

It seemed like Carro understood the toilet situation.

At least, thatโ€™s what I thought at the time.

The next day, when I woke up, Daru was already in my bed as usual.

โ€œGood morning.โ€

โ€œWoof woof!โ€ โ€œKyui~โ€

Carro stood on the headboard on her hind legs, seemingly keeping watch.

โ€œThank you, Carro.โ€

โ€œKyui~โ€

When I thanked Carro, she puffed out her chest proudly, as if she had done her job as a lookout.

โ€œAlright.โ€

I picked up Carro and got out of bed, only to find a black, round object on the floor.

โ€œHm? Carro, did you do this?โ€

โ€œKyuu?โ€

Carro seemed to ask, โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€

It seemed like she didnโ€™t fully understand the toilet concept yet.

โ€œWell, it canโ€™t be helped.โ€

Using a poop scoop, I cleaned up the mess and put it in Carroโ€™s toilet.

I also sniffed the smell.

โ€œHmm, itโ€™s round and doesnโ€™t smell too bad.โ€

I was glad it seemed healthy. When an animal has a stomach issue, it gets all messy, which is troublesome.

โ€œKyuru?โ€

Carro tilted her head at me. Cute.

But I needed to teach her how to use the toilet properly.

โ€œCarro, you do your business here.โ€

โ€œKyuu~?โ€

โ€œYou do it in the toilet.โ€

โ€œKyuu.โ€

โ€œLook at Daru.โ€

โ€œKyuru?โ€

I pointed to Daru, who was struggling in his toilet.

โ€œLook, Daru uses the toilet, and heโ€™s doing a great job! Just like Luria .โ€

When I petted Daru while he was using the toilet, he looked a little troubled but kept pushing.

โ€œWoof woof~โ€

Daru usually goes to the bathroom outside when we take him for walks. But today, it seemed he was doing it to show Carro how itโ€™s done.

โ€œI hope Carro can use the toilet like Daru.โ€

โ€œKyuru~โ€

Carro watched Daru intently as he pushed through, and I watched closely too.

โ€œAhh~โ€

Daru, looking a bit embarrassed, finally finished.

โ€œOnce youโ€™re done, itโ€™s Luria โ€™s job.โ€

Daru scooped his poop and the sand into the covered box. After that, the maid would come to take it away.

I also put Carroโ€™s poop in the box for demonstration.

โ€œAlright, Daru, Carro! Letโ€™s go eat!โ€

โ€œWoof woof!โ€ โ€œKyui kyuiโ€

โ€œAfter that, letโ€™s take a walk inside the house and show Mom the encyclopedia!โ€

For some reason, Mom has a lot of encyclopedias.

Iโ€™ll look up things like the prairie dogโ€™s habits and what they eat, just to make sure Iโ€™m well-informed. After all, Iโ€™m the one taking care of Carro.

โ€œWoof.โ€

โ€œHm, Carro, do you want to join Daruโ€™s walk?โ€

Daru is big, so he goes for two walks a day.

โ€œLuria  canโ€™t go outside, but Carro can come with me.โ€

Carro jumped onto my shoulder and chirped.

โ€œI see, you want to be with Luria . Thatโ€™s fine.โ€

Saying that, Carro chirped happily.
