Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

To avoid damaging the floor, the hunters unloaded their heavy weapons and placed them in the hall, then sat in a circle around the dining table.

Hayata's uncle Pine is not at home right now, but her aunt Mapel and stepsister Nellie are.

Aunt Mapel was very surprised to see Hayata, who had not been home for a long time, come back with her boyfriend and companions.

While letting Neli make tea and refreshments to entertain the guests, he picked up a basket and prepared to go out to buy groceries, saying he wanted to cook a big meal.

Nellie, who works as a waiter at a hunter's gathering place, knows very well how outrageous the hunters' appetite is.

I quickly warned my mother before going out, "Sister and the others, buy their ingredients for three people."

Looking back at Gordon's figure, he was stunned, and then quickly changed his words, "No, I bought it for five people."

Aunt Marpel responded repeatedly.

Hayata was worried that her aunt would not be able to take so much, so she asked Pork Chop and Pandan to help.

Panlan, who was looking at the refreshment, threw two jam cookies into her mouth, and chased after the pork chop.

While Nari went to make tea, Hariyata left her seat and wandered around.

Everywhere was cleaned very clean, and the furniture, kitchen utensils and sundries were neatly arranged. There were flowers picked in the yard in the vases in front of the window sills. The scent was not strong but very fresh.

It's so much better than when my uncle lived alone!

Your room is still there? It also looks like it is cleaned regularly, that is, the bed may be a little small for me now, and my feet will protrude if I lie on it.

The attic where the sundries were originally stored was transformed into Nelly's room, er, why are all the pictures of herself on Nelly's bedside table?

While Hariyata was wandering around the room, in the living room, Neri was happily pouring tea for the guests.

Her movements are quite proficient. Although she was called a nerd by many people since she was a child, she has also been trained in the past two years as a kanban girl in the assembly hall.

Anshir looked at the tea set in his hand with a little surprise.

Like tea, it is not high-end, but this is an evaluation based on his background and vision as a wealthy businessman and aristocratic young master.

For ordinary citizens, it is considered quite high level, but it is not the kind of luxury that is out of cost performance.

Aunt Hayata knows how to live well, right?

Gordon, who seldom drinks tea, can't taste the quality of the tea leaves and tea-making techniques, let alone the origin and grade of the tea sets.

He carefully controlled his strength, for fear of accidentally crushing the thin porcelain teacup

After pouring tea for Gordon and the others, Nelly also poured a cup for Hayata and herself, and after shouting "Sister, come and drink tea~!", she sat at the table and stared at Gordon.

Gordon, who was stared at furiously, put down his teacup with a dry smile.

"Brother-in-law, when will you and your sister raise a child?"

From the name to the question itself, it was quite explosive, and Gordon was trembling at the time.

If the teacup was still in my hand, it would have been shattered.

An Xil, who was drinking tea slowly, almost choked. He put down the tea cup and looked at the little girl who was about the same age as Feng Ying with a very subtle look.

Hayata also walked back to the table at this time.

Noticing the weird expressions on Gordon and Ancil's face, she asked casually: "What's wrong? What were you talking about just now?"

Of course Gordon would not tell the truth, and Ancil had no intention of selling this girl with glasses who seemed to be having fun on the spot.

But Naili seemed to be more stupid than Feng Ying. She answered honestly: "I asked my brother-in-law when he and his sister will have children."

Hayata was stiff for two seconds, and then with veins pulsing, he grabbed Nellie and kneaded her.

"How old are you, I can't control your stupid mouth!" As if recalling the fight with others when I was a child, Hayata couldn't help but slapped his sister's butt a few more times.

Gordon didn't know for a moment whether he should persuade or not.

After a lesson, Hayata raised his eyebrows and asked, "Say! Who asked you to ask such a question!"

Neli held her butt in grievance, "No one asked me to ask."

"Then why did you even think of asking this?!"

Nelly muttered, "The last time I heard Uncle Pine and Mom complain, saying that if you're worried that you won't have the energy to take care of it after giving birth, you can send it to them, so I'll ask."

Ancil was suppressing a laugh, and Gordon was concentrating on eating his tea, pretending not to hear.

"So sister, get ready."

"Don't ask!"

Under the threat of force from Hayata, Nellie had to avoid this topic that she cared about.

Talk about "innocuous" things, such as sister, what do you like about your brother-in-law, who fell in love with whom first, why are you not married yet, etc.

So much so that before her mother, Mapel, came back from shopping for groceries, she was beaten several more times.

Mapel bought a lot of ingredients, so much that even the two Ellu, including Pork Chop and Pandan, couldn't handle it.

Minagard is a seaside city, and there is a fish market in the city, so in addition to large pieces of animal meat, they also bought a lot of seafood.

When she was about to cook, Mapel was snatched away from the iron pot and shovel by Pork Chop.

It has not cooked properly for a long time and its paws are itchy.

After bursts of dazzling operations, one after another big dishes began to be served, until the dining table was piled up with mouth-watering dishes, and there were almost not enough plates for the pork chop to extinguish the fire on the stove.

At this time, the sun had set, and there was movement from the courtyard gate.

The owner of this house is back.

Since forming a family with Mapel, and having two daughters who are not biologically better than biologically grown up, and started their own careers, Pine's mental state has relaxed a lot.

More than a year ago, he resigned from the higher-paying and more dangerous caravan job and changed to work in the shop of the Chamber of Commerce.

Hayata and the others naturally support this decision with both hands.

The income of the high-ranking hunter is quite considerable. If Pine insisted on doing something on his own and refused to take the children's money, Hayata would have wanted him to retire early.

Now that he is far away from his business life, he can go home every day, enjoy dinner cooked by his wife, and occasionally go to the tavern to have a drink with Yamos.

He had never even dared to think about such a day before.

But his life goal has not yet been achieved.

Since Hariyata was a little girl, he has had a goal, which is to buy a house for Hariyatta in a central city like East Doruma, and then watch her get married and have children.

Now the plan to buy a house has been firmly rejected by Hayata, and it is not known when the remaining part of the goal will be achieved.

She does have a boyfriend, Hayata mentioned it in her letter.

The young man had been to the house before, and although he looked scary in size, he should be quite reliable after getting along with him for a short time. Amos also spoke highly of the boy.

But why is there no follow-up news?

Filled with emotion and regret, Pine stepped into the gate of his house, and then saw that muscled head, which was more than half the height of a person when lying down, and he didn't know whether it was a dog or a wolf.

He was so frightened that he almost screamed.

Fortunately, he was very observant and noticed the big dog in time.

Let’s say it’s a dog, the thing is covered with a saddle and a rucksack, and he heaves a sigh of relief when he realizes that it should be raised by someone, not a monster.

With his back against the courtyard wall, he carefully walked around to his door. Before he could knock on the door, someone pushed the door open.

My niece, who was already half a head taller than me, jumped and hugged her.

"Uncle Pine!"
