After dinner with Grandpa Tang and Uncle Song, Yu Qi went upstairs to her room. She told Grandpa Tang that she will be doing her homework, so she did not want to be disturb. Actually, she wanted to enter her space. She wanted to finalize the proposal that she wanted to show to Old Man Feng. With the blink of eyes, she entered her space. Bo Ya was excited to see her again.
"Master."
"It is nice to come here. The air is fresh but to the outside. The outside air is polluted." She took a deep breath.
"Indeed. The outside air cannot compare in this space. Then, Master, you want the usual routine?"
"Yes, but I want to decrease the duration. I want to prepare and finish my proposal."
"Owh, sure. You can take your time."
Yu Qi went into Pagoda. As usual, she took a lesson about herbs and medicine and the training about martial art and shooting about 2 hours each of them. Then, she took a break of about fifteen minutes before she started to finalize the proposal.
She entered the room on the 1st floor of the Pagoda. That room was equipped with the computer so that she could find more information in the ryokan itself regarding its design. Even though she already had designed the ryokan but she wanted to improve the design.
There was a lot of design that looks interesting to Yu Qi. She wanted to touch up a little bit of her design. When she working on her design, Bo Ya came. He seemed to carry something.
"Master, look at what I found." Bo Ya showed Yu Qi that he just found.
Yu Qi stopped working and looked at Bo Ya found. She did not find anything weird at all. It was just a dog. Well, actually it just a puppy.
"Master here is your space. You don't remember? How can this get inside here?" Bo Ya reminded Yu Qi where they were right now.
Yeah, she forgot about where they were right now. They were in her space. It should not have living creatures inside her space except Bo Ya. Well living creatures, of course, not including what had Pagoda illustrated to her during her training.
Yu Qi kneeled down and took the puppy. She noticed it was a Siberian husky breed. The puppy opened its eyes and looked straight to Yu Qi. What's an eye. The beautiful blue eyes of the puppy were very attracting to Yu Qi. She wanted to keep the puppy.
"Master?" Bo Ya called Yu Qi when he saw Yu Qi seemed to lose in dazed.
"How can this puppy appear in this space?" Yu Qi asked.
"Well, I don't know. I found it when I was wondering around the lake."
"Lake? Maybe that lake connected to the outside world?"
"I don't know Master. It might be possible."
"Bo Ya, I wonder if I want to keep this puppy with me. Can I?"
"Well, it's up to you. Master can make the decision."
"Okay then. I will keep this puppy. Its name will be...Hmm...I know. Your name will be Aoi." Yu Qi lifted and kissed the puppy.
Yeah, Yu Qi did make some effort thinking about this puppy name. Aoi means blue color in English. Because of the puppy's eyes were blue, its name would be Aoi.
Aoi seemed to understand Yu Qi. It licked Yu Qi's face with its small tongue. Yu Qi was very happy about getting a pet. She hugged Aoi while humming. Then she felt some sharp but short pain on her hand.
"Ouch." She made a sound.
"Master, what happened?" Bo Ya quickly asked when he heard Yu Qi.
"Aoi bite me." She said.
She then looked at the place that Aoi bite. A mark appeared on her backhand. She studied the mark. Why this mark appeared on her hand right after Aoi bite her?
"Master, it was a blood contract. This puppy makes a blood contract with you." Bo Ya explained when he saw the mark on his master hand.
"Blood contract? What is supposed to mean?" Yu Qi asked.
"Well, blood contract means you and Aoi have a relationship as a master beast and beast. He can appear beside you if you summon it wherever you are. It also will die if you die. It was different between you and me."
"Eh, did we also have a contract?" Yu Qi interpret.
"Yes, we do. But it slightly different you can summon me in this space only and I will not die if you die."
"Owh, I see. Meaning I can get it out from here too, right?" Yu Qi confirming that.
"Yes."
"Aoi, wait. Let me check its gender." Yu Qi checking it. "My dear, you are a male. Aoi, my cute dog." Yu Qi hugged and kissed Aoi once again.
Bo Ya was looking at this scene felt envy. "Master, do you hate me now?"
Yu Qi who was smiling stunned when she heard Bo Ya spoke like that.
Yu Qi kneeled down. She put Aoi on the ground and facing Bo Ya.
"Bo Ya, why are you saying that?"
"Master, you already get someone else."
"Aoi is Aoi, Bo Ya is Bo Ya. You are not the same. I like you and Aoi. You are my family right now." She patted Bo Ya's head.
"Then, can Master hug and kiss like you do to Aoi?" Bo Ya requested with puppy look.
Yu Qi laughed. She hugged and lifted Bo Ya up. Then, she gave two kisses on his right and left cheek. Bo Ya then smiled looking at Yu Qi.
