9

Inukai proves Pochita is hers by making him do his begging routine. The others persuade her to bring him tomorrow. Tsukishiro watches jealously from outside. The next day, the others bring their own dogs while setting up the dog cafe. Inukai prefers to work on a paper chain outside and alone even though she is not skilled. Nekotani walks up and says her class is making a hotdog stand. She accidentally gets covered with glue, so Inukai hands her his leash while she gets help. All the dogs approach because she smells like hotdogs, and she bumps into Pochita and gets him stuck to her skirt. She panics, removes her skirt, and runs away while dragging him by his leash. She eventually gets tangled in the leash and knocks herself out. He detaches himself from the skirt just as she wakes up, but some boys approach. To spare her from being seen skirtless, he leads her to a hiding spot. She shows him a photo of her and Inukai as children happily playing with a dog and says he was the first Pochita. Ever since he died, Inukai became cold. She cries because now, Inukai only smiles around him while she was never able to make her smile. She then notes his unusual intelligence and voices suspicions that he is actually a human, shocking him. (Source: Wikipedia)
