Side story 1: The villains' good neighbor
–
On a very clear and sunny day.
"Woof, woof!"
The sound of Coco barking woke me up, announcing that it was morning.
Coco jumped onto the bed and licked my face which was sticking out the blanket.
"Mm...Coco, that tickles."

I stretched my hand to stroke Coco, still feeling sleepy. However, the thing I touched wasn't a fluffy head of fur. Coco's weight which was pressing down the bed abruptly disappeared. The sound of barking quickly grew distant and, in its place, came the mellow voice of a man.
"Ms. Yuri, it's morning."
A soft whisper mixed with the scent of coffee coursed through my ears.
When I opened my eyes fully, a face made radiant under the morning sun greeted me. Lakis was sitting right next to where Coco was a second ago.
"Hi, did you sleep well?"
Lakis gently pulled my hand to his lips and kissed it then he smiled. His smile was clear and refreshing like it belonged in a bed advertisement...or to a model in a makeup ad.
If this was the world that I used to live in, Lakis' name would sell out in the advertisement world.
"Hi...Good morning, Mr. Lakis."
I blinked and greeted him back as the familiar morning view drove the sleep away.
"Woof!"
Coco, who had been brought down from the bed, barked from below.
Lakis lifted the puppy who was trying to climb up the bed again and get to my side. Then he talked to Coco with a smile on his face.
"Coco, why do you keep trying to climb on Yuri's bed?"
"Woof, woof!"
"Ah, right. You're very hungry?"
"Woof, woof!"
"Alright, I will get you food, so you stay quiet outside."
His voice sounded amiable, but his tone seemed to exert a strange pressure. However, Coco just shook his tail and ran towards Lakis, let alone obeying what Lakis said, then he began to lick Lakis cheeks and chin.
The smile on Lakis' face froze.
I could tell that he wanted to pull Coco away immediately, but he didn't know the best way to drag the small puppy and ended up doing nothing.
Seeing him like that, I chuckled a little.
"Coco, come here."
Upon hearing his name, Coco finally let go of Lakis.
I sat up halfway in bed and hugged Coco to myself to greet him good morning. Lakis frowned slightly as he watched me stroke Coco's soft fur and kiss him all over while calling him adorable.
"I'll go make you food soon, Coco. Go outside."
Unlike when Lakis said it earlier, Coco immediately obeyed me and trotted out of the room.
Seeing this scene, Lakis scoffed.
"At times like this, I wonder if it's really a dog."
"Our Coco is a little smart."
