"Master, dinner is ready," she said, making even pointed canine teeth look non threatening.
"Uhh... I'll be there in a moment," he replied, trying not to pay much attention to what she called him.
She nodded and moved off, no doubt to finish the meal up and serve it.
Which left him sitting with Akane's head in his lap as she simply lay there happily. Previously this would have been a bashing offense, but now she actually looked forward to this sort of thing. It was still a little odd for him, but he knew that he wasn't about to get any way to fix it.
After all, while he had been trying to recover, everyone and there uncle was trying to get at it, and they were not being careful about it. There were girls trying to stay with him, boys trying to make it so that he didn't have a certain girl, two fathers trying to get two particular teenagers together, and an old pervert just wanting what he always did. Add in a grumpy genie with a definate distaste for doing anything nice, and one had a real mess.
He still didn't know quite what the wishes had been since he'd never really worked up the will to find out. Mister Tendo cried every time it was brought up, and never really said much. It had also been confusing to anyone in the melee, as they had been shouting out things without consideration for what it was that they were saying. That was par for the course, but now it'd really come back to bite them. Each of them seemed happy enough, and other than a deference and obvious affection for him, they were as close to normal as he could see...
And at least his father had stopped blaming him for the mess. It had taken several hard poundings, but he'd managed it. Though he was certain that the panda only did it vocally.
Looking down at the prone form of Akane, he smiled ruefully. They were getting along together, but now she was his pet doggirl. That seemed to be something familial, whether due to the change, or to something that had been there, but Kasumi was just like her youngest sister. Which had come about because of the way that any girl who'd been involved with him in a romantic sort of arrangement had wound up a pet.
It got rid of the whole 'fiancee mess' but now he had to deal with having a whole bunch of pet girls.
Sighing to himself, he nudged Akane. "Time to get over ta the table for dinner."
She perked up and nodded as she watched him get up and followed him into the house.
Entering the dining area, he sniffed and smiled at the scents coming to him, happy that some things didn't change while:
