Here's chapter 85.
Louis was on his way back to his apartment. That afternoon of video games was interesting, since he never in his life believed that he would spend a long time playing with his companions and even having fun with them, although his face never showed it and he wouldn't admit it to anyone. Although he would have the suspicion that Legoshi, Jack, Collot, Durham, Miguno and Voss had already realized it on their own since their tails were moving from one side to the other demonstrating the happiness they felt at that moment. He had already been living with the six canines for a long time to have noticed that particularity in them, although for some reason he had never seen Juno do the same, despite the fact that they had all lived together in the last three months. It would be that she was a little more reluctant to show that reflection.
Once they reached the building and entered, they started up the stairs. It was already starting to get dark so it would be time for dinner. Each day a group took turns preparing everyone's dinner. The first day was for Legoshi and Jack, the second was for Collot and Voss, the third was for Durham and Miguno, the fourth was for Gouhin and Louis, and the fifth was for Haru and Juno. As it was the fifth day, it was the turn of the white rabbit and the gray she-wolf to prepare dinner that day. The six of them supposed that due to the time it was, they had already started cooking and it is very likely that the panda bear had already arrived from work. So they would surely be the last to arrive. Luckily Jack had sent a message to the other three who had left, so if when they returned home they weren't there they wouldn't have to worry.
Once they got to the apartment and being inside, they could smell the aroma of food. And it was quite delicious for all of them. Both Haru and Juno were in the kitchen finishing preparing dinner. Definitely if it was true what was said that a man's heart could be won through his stomach, then probably when Haru and Juno fall in love again and cook their new loves, surely both of them would have a husband before that they would come to realize. Although when they were in high school Haru was in the gardening club and Juno was in the drama club, they could all tell that if the school had a cooking club, both of them would have done quite well there. On the other hand, Gouhin was sitting in the living room, he had already changed his clothes, he had prepared the table shortly after changing, and now he was sitting in an armchair reading the newspaper calmly while waiting for the food. When the group had arrived he looked up and welcomed them home and then continued reading. They would each talk about how their day went while they were eating dinner.
After a few seconds, Haru and Juno appeared in the dining room announcing that dinner was ready and that they come to the table. Both brought with them food in pans and which they put on a table. The boys approached the table, Gouhin also left the newspaper on the chair to continue reading it when he finished eating. Once the food was placed on the table, the ten of them took their seats and began to help themselves to the food on their respective plates.
The food looked delicious, and they took the first bite they could confirm. Something that everyone agreed is that since they started living together, they all surprised with their cooking skills. They were lucky in that regard, because if it hadn't been the case they would have had to spend part of the money they earned from their respective jobs having to eat out, and that would be more expensive than buying food to make themselves. It wasn't a good idea to waste the money they had on that. Among what they had to eat they tried to avoid consuming meat, since although in that universe as far as they knew there had been no cases of predation since the Middle Ages, it would be a good idea not to eat meat so as not to inadvertently awaken Jack, Collot, Durham, Miguno, Voss and Juno's instincts to eat meat. With Gouhin and Legoshi there was no problem, since in the past both of them were able to break those carnivorous instincts they had.
As they ate, they all started talking about how their day had gone. The girls told more in depth how they did in the job interview. About how the conditions would be, and that everything would be very easy for both of them to handle, since they would have several co-workers who would help them with whatever they needed. On the other hand; Legoshi, Jack, Collot, Durham, Miguno and Voss talked about how they had a great time at the video game center and how Louis beat all of them on the first try, even though they were already more experienced than him; Haru was surprised, since of all those present, she had known Louis the longest and she didn't imagine that someone like him could be an expert in something like this.
When it was Gouhin's turn, he couldn't say much due to the nature of his work, but one thing he could tell them was that they shouldn't worry about the city dwellers finding out that they came from a different dimension. They would all be protected by agents who dressed as civilians as well as not reveal their locations, they would all pass as normal citizens in the city until they could find a way to return home. Therefore, not even in their own work would they be questioned about anything.
That brought great relief to everyone present. At least something that they were grateful for having fallen into this dimension is that things were calmer than in their dimension of origin. If it weren't because you have loved ones in their dimensions and many things to do in their home dimension, they would rather stay and live there.
...
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, there were two bears, one orange with a rather flashy 1970s afro and the other cream-colored wearing a red hat. Both were already returning to the hotel where they had lived all those months. They were accompanied by their two children. They were both cream colored bears, only one (the older one) wore a hat with a small propeller on top of his head, and the other (the younger one) had orange hair, but this one was curly. These children were half brothers; since the eldest was the son of the cream bear and stepson of the orange bear, while the youngest was the son of both. The eldest has always been aware of his little brother since he was born at the beginning of that year, and just like his parents, he always protected him from anything bad that could happen to him. At that time the orange bear was holding the older boy while the cream bear was carrying the younger boy.
It had been a quiet day to take a family walk and relax a bit, this time away from their home universe had them quite relaxed, they were not afraid of an accident happening and they would die in the most sadistic way possible or if they survived said event would be left with serious injuries. Both adult bears wouldn't mind going through these horrible things as long as their children were safe. Although the cream bear went through sad situations when he saw his eldest son dying several times, most of it caused by himself, which led to him having to take psychological treatment for years. Fortunately, those deaths stopped the day his firstborn turned 3 years old, and since then he had not been through other situations like this, and he was grateful that he didn't remember that and grew up as a normal child. He was also grateful that his youngest son has not gone through things like this so far. And they hoped to support their two children without knowing that reality, as much as possible.
They both could still remember that when they arrived in this dimension, they had all appeared inside an abandoned building, at first they were confused when leaving the building, since the city was not Happy Tree Town, since the buildings were bigger and there were many more inhabitants. And the places they knew were nowhere to be found. Even the physical appearance of the inhabitants were different from the common characteristics of the inhabitants of their dimension, not to mention the buildings, none were made from trees that were in the area like many of the buildings in their home city.
During their first days there, everyone expected that death would overtake one of them during the first days, or at least suffer serious injuries, but this never happened. But they had to be careful, since they didn't know if it was the case that if any of them died in this universe, they would not know if they could revive as it used to happen in their universe of origin. And the last thing they wanted was that if they couldn't revive, they would have to avoid dying at all costs. Since if that happened, they and their friends wouldn't want to leave their children orphans, or even worse that their own children died and could no longer be revived, that was one of the biggest fears that sometimes even took away their minds. dream. That is why when the two attacks occurred in the city, the first thing they did was find a shelter and pray that the attacks wouldn't come near where they were. Fortunately, they were on the other side of the city, so they were safe, but they didn't know if they would have the same luck for the next attack.
Once they arrived at the hotel they were staying at, they began to feel a sense of relief so they rushed inside. Thanks to the orange bear they were able to pay for a hotel so that they could all stay together until they could return home. They got enough money, since there was a 70's-themed club that was looking for an employee to serve as an entertainer for the parties that were held there. Because of orange bear taste and fashion style, he easily landed the job, and it went so well on his first day that he earned enough money to pay for a week at the hotel, breakfast, lunch, and dinner included. And with each day of work, they were paying him enough money to last another week. And since that was a very busy place, the orange bear had saved enough money to even pay for a year or two in that hotel. Although in the past, everyone would have thought that his taste for things from the 70's would be of no use to him, today, they proved how wrong they were, since thanks to him they were not living on the streets but in a luxurious hotel.
Once they got to the suite they've been living in for the past three months, they went inside. This suite had 5 rooms, one for each family, and since the beds were big they could sleep with their children, although in the case of couples with babies, the room would have a cot next to the beds for each baby. So they shouldn't have to worry about that either. There was also a living room a dining room and there were 5 bathrooms for each room. So they had all their needs met there. Once the four bears saw their friends quite relaxed as they waited for their dinner to arrive. It seemed that it was a fairly calm day for them. They wish and things could stay like this every day.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
