My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected

"Hey—Shortbread."

Hearing someone call his name, the shortbread peeked out.

It twitched its tiny nose frequently, checking its surroundings.

Seeing this...

"So cute!"

Yumiko and Kawasaki showed an even better teamwork than before!

They seem to have somewhat similar personalities, which might explain their awkward relationship in class. But, but precisely because their personalities are similar, their reactions in situations like this are exactly the same!

They both seem to really like shortbread...

"Hehehehehe, thank you. I'm glad you think it's cute."

I feel even happier than when I'm praised myself.

The shortbread probably knew it was popular, and it took turns sniffing the two hands that were stretched out in front of its nose.

"Wow—it's so cute! So what should we do with it?"

Yumiko glanced at the shortbread and her attitude completely changed.

The overall attitude was one of willingness to help!

"We'd like to invite you to play with it in the park and teach it some tricks!"

"Okay, okay—!"

Kawasaki-kun instantly became excited as well.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the shortbread.

She's completely different from her usual cold demeanor. If she tried any harder, her eyes would literally pop out as hearts.

then……

The two of them started training Su Bing together!

"And then—the most basic thing is, of course, to get the ball back after it's dropped. I want to practice that!"

"Oh—oh—that's good. I agree."

"Yumiko, could you help me throw this ball?"

I handed Yumiko a sturdy yet flexible dog-shaped rubber ball that she could bite.

"Mmm, I want to throw it away! Okay—Shortbread, go get it!"

Yumiko's spiraling curls swayed in the air as she struck a cool pose and threw the ball. The pink rubber ball soared into the clear summer sky.

The shortbread chased the ball at full speed.

Yumiko's slow, elegant ball landed on the grass about fifteen meters ahead.

"Woof! Woof!"

The shortbread rushed towards that spot.

Its short front and hind legs move around like in a comic book.

For a miniature dachshund, its movements are considered very fast!

It arrived at the spot where the ball fell instantly.

"Woof! Woof!"

Then just walk right past the ball!

"Hey—Shortbread!"

It didn't react to Yumiko's voice at all and ran away at full speed!

They ran further and further away...

They've completely escaped!

"Wait a minute—! Shortbread—! The ball is right here!"

I ran after it as fast as I could, chasing after the shortbread.

"Really, they dared to run away so suddenly."

Kawasaki-kun also started running and went around to the front to help me chase it.

"Woof woof!"

"etc--!"

"Shortbread!"

“Woof!”

Kawasaki and I flanked the shortbread from both sides and captured it.

I held it tightly.

Oh dear—I'm sorry to have caused everyone trouble.

"I'm sorry, Yumiko. Kawasaki-san. It got away."

"Ah—that's probably why? I threw the ball before the shortbread even got interested in it."

Yumiko is very gentle; she took the blame upon herself and spoke up for Sumi. She's truly a good person.

Of course, the shortbread didn't know that Yumiko was protecting it, and it kept breathing on me in my arms.

I gently placed the shortbread in front of Yumiko.

"Okay—this time, let it watch the ball more carefully before throwing it."

"Um."

Yumiko already had the ball in her hand; it seemed she had retrieved it herself while Kawasaki and I were chasing the shortbread. She was much more cautious than before, and then placed the ball back in front of the shortbread.

"Sniff sniff sniff..."

The shortbread brought its tiny nose close to the ball to smell it.

From all directions, they frantically smelled and licked Yumiko's fingers and the ball between them.

"Oh, it looks like it wants to play with the ball?"

Yumiko looked ticklish as the shortbread gently licked her fingertips.

She's right, the shortbread is very interested in the ball.

It's something to look forward to!

"Okay—the shortbread is going to be thrown away, go get it!"

Yumiko throws the ball.

The rubber ball once again soared into the summer sky.

“Woof!”

The shortbread ran after the ball at an even faster speed than before.

As the ball landed on the grass, the shortbread had already run to the ball's side and jumped up to match the ball's bounce.

She lightly leaped towards the ball in the air...

“Woof!”

Then they ran away!

The shortbread bounced right over the ball!

It landed in front of the ball.

"Hey—Short Cake! Why did you jump over there!"

It didn't react to Yumiko's voice at all and ran away at full speed!

They ran further and further away...

"Wait a minute—! Shortbread—! Kawasaki-kun—"

"Seriously! Here we go again."

Kawasaki and I dashed out again.

The two of them chased after the shortbread all over the place.

“Woof!”

The shortbread seemed to be having a lot of fun, dashing left and right to escape from my and Kawasaki's pursuit.

"Hey—stop! I didn't realize you could run so fast! Wow!"

The shortbread passed between Kawasaki's legs.

She was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud.

That was close! Kawasaki almost had a wardrobe malfunction!

"Huff...huff...shortbread—wait! Ugh, no, no. Pick up the ball!"

I finally managed to grab the shortbread.

Take it back to Yumiko.

Yumiko already had the rubber ball she had just thrown in her hand...

"Why did I have to go get the ball myself, not Su Bing...?"

Most likely, while Kawasaki and I were chasing the shortbread, Yumiko retrieved the ball she had thrown and waited for us.

"Really? I'm so sorry—"

"You guys can play with Crispy Cookie, but I'm so lonely!"

She puffed out her cheeks slightly, as if she were throwing a tantrum.

Kind of cute.

"How could this happen? Why did it run away so quickly?"

"Should we search it?"

Yumiko took out her phone and typed in "reason for the dog running away".

She and her classmate Kawasaki huddled together watching how dogs were trained.

What a rare sight...

Yumiko carefully browsed the teaching website.

Finally, he raised his head.

"Yui, what did you say when you called Su Bing back?"

"Huh? 'Hey—' or 'Hey—', 'Come over here—', 'Come here—' or something like that."

"Even your mother wouldn't come if you called her that way..."

Kawasaki was also a little dumbfounded.

"It really is because of the way you call it, isn't it? You always call it differently, so you probably don't understand what 'Short Cake' means, right?"

After Yumiko finished speaking, she nodded vigorously.

Now that she says it, it really is true...

"Oh—! I see, Yumiko, it's amazing you noticed."

I truly admire him and couldn't help but applaud.

"Really, you're smarter than I thought."

Kawasaki agreed, however...

"What?"

"what?"
