Duran-kun and Kiyo-chan's Omake Theater!
(featuring the Kuga-Fujino family pets)
The sandy-haired woman looked so forlorn as she poked through the shelves of merchandise that the clerk behind the desk at Animal Hut had to come over and offer assistance.
"Excuse me, miss, but is there anything I can help you with?"
Shizuru nodded.
"My girlfriend really loves her dog, so I thought it would be nice to get her a T-shirt." She gestured to the rack, which held the usual messages of I love my German Shepherd, I love my Golden Retriever, and so on. "But I can't find her dog's picture on any of these."
"Well, our computer does have over 400 breeds. We can look it up and have the shirt printed for you; then you could pick it up when it's ready or have it delivered at a slight charge."
"That sounds like a good idea."
"So what type of dog does your girlfriend have?"
"Well, he's a crossbreed."
"Don't worry. Many of the more popular crosses are being recognized as breeds in their own right, and if not we can go with a 'mutt' shirt and customize it with the proper silhouette. What sort of cross is he?"
Shizuru pursed her lips thoughtfully.
"I'm not exactly sure, but I think that he's half wolf, and half field artillery."
