“H-huh? W-what? U-um…” Surprised, he stares at the blue mascot. It seemed like they were going to hug him.
“…?” the mascot, or at least the person inside it, paused, waiting for permission to hug.
Hide blinked and slowly opened his own arms. They seemed friendly enough.
He hugged hide gently.
“Woof woof! Thank you hide-sama!” a familiar voice.
“W-woof….?” He looked back at them. Wait that voice was familiar as well. “Huh, Kamimatsu-san?!” He blinked.
Kamimatsu pulled the dog head upwards, revealing his red and sweaty face.
“Mhm! This is my job! I get to hug visitors and passerbys.” He giggled and put the head back down.
