Chapter 49 The Perfect Size for Cuddling

Joanna freshened up and got ready for bed.

But when she came out, she found Nighthowl standing guard at the door, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Joanna was startled.

Come to think of it, Nighthowl had guarded the door before too.

Remembering some pet behaviors from her past life, her heart softened.

“Were you worried I’d drown?”

Animals believed that using the bathroom and drinking water were dangerous moments. That was why some dogs and cats would scratch at the door whenever their owner went to the restroom, refusing to let them go alone.

Taking a bath in peace? Forget about it. They absolutely had to watch.

Nighthowl was probably the same way.

Still, Nighthowl had been fluffy before, his silver fur gleaming. He didn’t need baths. But now he was in human form. After fighting for so long, he definitely needed to wash up.

“You need a bath too. Come here, I’ll show you how to use everything. Don’t be scared!”

Joanna explained how the shower worked and what all the different products were for.

“Do you

need me to help?”

Joanna asked.

Nighthowl quickly shook his head.

“I can do it myself.”

“Alright!” She wanted to ask something else. Since Nighthowl could transform into a human, he could naturally turn back into a beast too. Could he still shrink down to puppy size? That way she could give him baths and cuddle him while sleeping.

“Go ahead and shower then. I’m going to rest. And this time, don’t sneak off to run dungeons while I’m asleep. It’s dangerous.”

Joanna gave him a reminder before climbing into her soft, comfortable bed.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, keeping her awake for a while.

Something came to mind.

She secretly opened her system interface and pulled up the files Grace had sent her.

“My Domineering Divine Pet Fell for Me.”

Huh?

Why are there scenes about cooking in this?

Joanna pulled the covers up tight and read in secret.

At some point, the water stopped.

Nighthowl emerged wrapped in a towel. He hesitated for a moment, then walked to the spot where he had watched Joanna sleep the night before. Finally, he sat down on the carpet.

Joanna was startled and guiltily closed the interface.

“Why are you sitting on the floor?” Joanna asked.

Nighthowl hesitated.

Then, in one smooth motion, he hopped onto the bed, making Joanna jump.

Th-that’s not what I mean…

She was just thinking that the villa had so many rooms. Nighthowl could go sleep in one of the others.

She never intended for them to sleep together.

Especially since Joanna had just been secretly reading that cooking novel.

But this was too sudden. She couldn’t accept it. Her boundaries were still too high after all.

“Nighthowl… can you turn back into the form you had when I first summoned you?”

Joanna asked quietly.

Nighthowl looked confused.

But he still did as Joanna asked. His body gradually shrank until he became a puppy about the size of a footstool.

Joanna let out a little cheer.

She lay on her side and pulled Nighthowl into her arms. Her lower arm stretched out beneath his fluffy head like a pillow, while her upper arm stroked the soft fur along his back.

Ahh!

Sleeping with something fluffy was so much more comforting.

A grown man’s body was just too intimidating.

With that thought, Joanna closed her eyes.

As she petted him, her breathing slowly deepened, and she fell asleep.

Nighthowl didn’t need to sleep at all.

But since Joanna had told him not to sneak off to run dungeons, he obediently stayed curled up in her arms and closed his eyes.

However, as Joanna slept, she naturally rolled over and stopped holding him.

Nighthowl let out a breath of relief.

He loved being in Joanna’s arms, but he kept feeling like he wanted to do something bad. And his contracted companion wouldn’t like that.

He should do something she would like instead.

He recalled something he had heard.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He remembered.

Laundry and cooking!
