2: Well, of course you have a lot of energy...
3: Haa
4: You slept in my bag for half the day...
4: Haa
5: Let's stay here today, and then we can finally go home tomorrow.
6: Ruff!
7: No food yet!
8: It's been two days since I left that guy's house. And partly because of my added weight, this journey has taken much more time than I expected.
9: I didn't hurry, either.
10: It's been over a week since I left the settlement now.
11: I wonder what's been happening to everyone.
12: They probably don't think I'm alive anymore.

28)
1: But for some reason, I'm calm.
2: I may be the calmest I've been in years.
3: I have enough food.
4: I have a partner to talk with.
5: If I return to everyone, I might feel relaxed.

7: I may see fighting
8: and see or hear things I don't like?
9: Come back alive.

4: hah
5: Quiet!!

33)
1: whine...
2: Yes! Good.
3: Whether or not he felt the unusual atmosphere, the dog tensed up and lowered his body.
4: There is no animal that can understand human intentions more than the dog. It is connected to the instincts that they are born with.
5: Since dogs originally moved in packs, they value communication with their allies, and puppies are the same.
6: It's a big target...
7: I might be able to do this!

34)
1: I can shoot it!!

5: but it also might be...

39)
1: He may have just gotten excited and chased after the bird...but the dog performed as he had been expected to.
2: Good boy!!
3: The retrieval of wounded prey is an important ability for hunting dogs to have, and Sei felt a small response in his partner.
4: Uuuh
5: So energetic...
6: You really are amazing...

40)
1: But I can't just keeping call you "you" forever, can I?
