Sachi: That's even worse!!

Mother: Hahaha......... // I'm joking.
Sachi: Stop it with the weird jokes!

Mother: Moreover, Sachi, // Mozuku's fur is pretty long, don't you think? // It's easy to mistake him for a mop.

Mozuku: By the length of our fur, you can tell whether the dog is a long-haired breed or a short-haired breed. // The presence or absence of an undercoat tells whether we are a single coat dog breed and double coat dog breed.

SFX: cut cut
Box: I'm a long haired dog bread with a single coat.

Box: That doesn't mean that I only have my topcoat to protect me from the cold // It just means it simply keeps growing until I'm completely covered. // In regard to my existence, whether it's to bring out my "shadiness" // or a manifestation of my self-consciousness about looking plump, // I don't know why my fur keeps growing.

Box: On the contrary, // I don't even know what kind of being is confined // underneath this long fur. // And I don't have the courage to find out.

SFX: cut
Box: So, what I'm trying to say is

Box: I hate // to have my fur trimmed!

Mozuku: !

Mozuku: ...how unexpected, // she actually did a good job.

Box: I have no wish to know // what I look like beneath my fur.

Box: It's just, // finding that my body feels slightly lighter now,

Mozuku: !
Sachi: Hm!

Box: no matter who I am, // to peacefully live together with human beings, who also have an endlessly growing, single coat. // That wish will never // feel strange.

Sachi: Mozuku, // next time we'll give you a full-body perm!
Mozuku: ............
