Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

We arrived at the newly built assembly hall and tavern.

There were already many people sitting in the tavern, most of them were members of the special investigation team.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the arrival of the special investigation team in the New World. Let's get together to celebrate.

After drinking a whole glass of ale in one breath, Ted put the glass on the thick wooden table with a bang and let out a loud belch.

"belch--!"

"Hiccup~" Fufu imitated the sound, maybe thinking that she imitated it very well, and giggled.

Ancil, who never drank, gave Ted a cold look.

Ted, who was already in his thirties, no longer shrank away when Ancil glared at him like before, but he was still a little frightened.

What's more, it's really not good to be so rude in front of a child. He wiped his mouth awkwardly and tapped Fufu's head with a carrot-like finger.

"This uncle is a bad example. Children should not imitate him."

"My uncle?" Fufu's eyes were bright, and she liked the way she called herself.

Gale patted Fufu on the back of the head, "You can't learn this either!"

She never cared about names, polite terms, etc. before, but things changed after Fufu was born. Under normal circumstances, she no longer dared to say "Nima's" anymore.

Children learn this very quickly.

Maka carried the wine bottle and drank a few sips. Seeing Gale staring at her enviously, she raised the bottle and asked, "You want some too?"

Gale swallowed, but still didn't take the bottle. Instead, he looked away, "Forget it."

Although she doesn't drink like those alcoholic guys all day long, she still wants to have a good drink occasionally.

It's a pity that I can't indulge like that now.

Maka seemed to have guessed that Gale would not accept it, shrugged, and took back the bottle, "So, this is why we don't want children. We can't control our mouths, and it's not good for anyone. .”

"Gaba" Babaka muttered regretfully, he really wanted to have a little nephew.

"But then again, how did you and Ancil get together?"

Maka put the wine bottle aside and changed the topic sharply, "That day you suddenly said that you had chased Anxil, but we all thought you were drunk."

When this topic was brought up, not only Gale but also Ancier's expression became a little stiff.

"Well, it's a long story." Gale tried to fool him.

But Maka, whose curiosity has been completely ignited, refuses to let her go. She has been fooled many times!

"Then let's make a long story short!"

"Ah, look! Gordon and the others are coming!" Gale suddenly shouted, pointing to the entrance of the tavern.

Gordon and Hayata, who came with them, looked puzzled.

We see you almost every day, why are you so excited?

Aziz, who also had his ears perked up, explained with a smile, "I was asking about how they got together. Gale asked you to change the subject!"

Gordon couldn't help laughing, "I know a little bit about this, but not much."

"I may know another point." Hayata said with the same smile.

Gordon looked at Ancil, who made a "tsk" sound and looked away. Gale also hugged Fufu and concentrated on counting her hair.

Knowing that this meant tacit consent, Gordon chuckled and was about to sit down to speak. Aziz and others immediately moved two seats to make it easier for them to speak slowly.

"The first thing was probably the morning after the thanksgiving ceremony."

"So early?! We had just arrived in the New World for more than half a year, right?" Ted's loud voice interrupted Gordon's story.

Everyone immediately cast reproachful looks and told him to shut up.

Ted awkwardly raised his hand and made a zipper motion around his mouth.

“.That morning, well, Ancil came to me secretly that morning and said that he had been molested by a drunk Gale last night.

Well, the word 'obscene' was used, and I was very impressed. "

Gale covered his ears with a look of pain, but after thinking about it, he covered Fufu's ears instead.

"??!"

"Ah, don't worry, I had the same expression as you when I heard it." Gordon suppressed a smile, "It's said to be obscene, but in fact it mainly consisted of hugging his neck and kissing him a few times, and then grabbing him and refusing to let go. of.

From Ancier's description, Gale, who was drunk at the time, must have mistaken him for Gale. "

"Can you admit this?" Aziz looked at Gale with an exaggerated expression, "Are you really pretending to be drunk?"

Maka looked accustomed to it, "What's the matter? I've also seen Ted hugging the toilet and crying, 'Father, I don't dare anymore!' when he was drunk."

"."

"In short, Gale kept yelling 'Listen to me, Gale' until the rest of the night that night.

She recounted many things like her childhood of wandering, fighting with others, being cheated by unreliable temporary teammates, and many other things. "

Gale lowered his head and pretended to be dead, but Anhil's expression calmed down a bit, and he added, "She was still crying and asking me repeatedly, 'Why does Hayata already have a master?'"

Gale hit his head on the table, gave Fufu to Ancil, and ran away.

"?"

Gordon looked at him in surprise, "You didn't tell me this at the time."

"Because I feel that if you find out about this, you will do your best to bring us together and eliminate the threat." Anhil continued to cover Fufu's ears and said expressionlessly.

Several eyes turned to Hayata involuntarily, and Hayata said angrily: "Gail is referring to the team partner, don't think about it!"

"I just treat it like this." Gordon's expression was a little subtle, "At that time, Ancier probably didn't have any feelings for Gale, either male or female. After that, Gale should have taken the initiative?"

"The next part is the part I know." Hayata smiled and said: "It should be the same day, Gail also came to me and told me that she was drunk in the middle of the night and ran to An Xil's house.

She had the impression that the door was opened by the strong wind, but she had no memory after that. When she woke up at three or four o'clock, she found that she was 'imprisoning' Anxil and was stunned for a long time.

In the end, he ran away under Anhil's "too calm to be human" gaze.

Later, she also realized that it was probably not Liefeng who opened the door that night. She didn't dare to think about what she had said to Anxil, so she came to me to discuss it.

I asked her what she wanted to discuss, and she said she didn't know.

It was probably around that time that Gale began to have some feelings for Ancil unilaterally. "

Anhil had a strange expression. Of course he and Gale had talked about these embarrassing things, but it was really strange for someone to talk about them openly like this.

After thinking about it, he simply started to speak by himself: "After that, Gale often came to me and tried his best to find out what she had said to me when she was drunk that day.

I pretended to be stupid at first, but then I got impatient when she asked her more questions, so I told her everything. Then she banged her head on the table crazily, just like she did just now. "

"Um, does this part have something to do with your emotional changes?" Maka asked cautiously.

"No, it's just that since then, she has come to me more frequently, and then it became an active pursuit."

"Then you agreed in a daze?"

"Absolutely." An Xil did not deny it.

"No." A female voice sounded from the table of scholars nearby, "Your judgment was wrong from the beginning.

Although he is emotionally passive, this guy has never been said to be 'not good at rejecting people'. When he really wants to refuse, he refuses more decisively than anyone else. "

Everyone looked around in surprise and found that the person who spoke was actually Herta.

Compared to the frail appearance he had when he first came to the New World, Hertha is now much darker and more cheerful.

She looked at Gordon, "You are the one who has spent the longest time with Ancier here. Do you think that if it was not Gail who ran into Ancier's house drunk that day, but some other single woman, for example?"

Her eyes searched around, "Just like Oshula, what do you think the result will be?"

Before Gordon could say anything, Urshula replied without hesitation: "I'll be knocked unconscious and thrown out."

Herta glanced at Ancier with a smile and continued: "If it were me, it might be better. After knocking me unconscious, he ran out and found someone to drag me away."

Gordon's eyes widened when he reacted, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Ancil, "So the reason you came to me that day was not to discuss, but to show off?!"

"Absolutely! Yes! No! Yes!" There was a bit of self-doubt in Ancier's denial.

Thanks to the leader of the book friend "Crow_13" for the reward. Under the whipping of the management, I squeezed in two more updates in the past few days orz
