Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 544: Parents have shortcomings

"Hayata."

As soon as Gordon sat down, Pine smiled and said to Hayata: "Go and make a pot of tea for your friends."

"OK."

It felt like a long time passed, but in fact it was only two years ago that she left Minagard and embarked on a journey alone, and she had lived in this house for more than ten years since she was a child.

Of course she knew exactly where the tea cans and tea sets were.

She just hopes that the tea leaves in the tea can are not the same batch of tea she bought two years ago.

Hayata was sent to make tea, and Pine's eyes immediately returned to Gordon.

stare.

Gordon smiled stiffly.

"Young man, your name is Gordon, right?" Pine spoke. His tone couldn't be called distant or blunt, but it certainly wasn't too enthusiastic.

"Ah, yes, sorry, I haven't had time to introduce myself yet."

"It's okay, Yamos told me about you."

"Mr. Yamos?"

"Well, we are good friends who grew up together."

When Pine said this, he paused and considered his words before continuing: "He told me that there is a young male hunter who has a good relationship with Hayata."

"Yeah." Gordon smiled dryly.

I always feel that nothing I say is awkward when facing this uncle.

"What do you think is Hayata's most outstanding advantage?" Pine suddenly changed the subject and asked this question very abruptly.

Gordon blurted out, "Super lucky?"

Pine: "?"

Pork Chop, who was squatting on a chair nearby and watching, covered his face.

"Ah, no, I meant to be optimistic, strong, and considerate." Gordon realized that he had said something stupid and quickly made amends.

"Well, this is quite objective." Pine's expression softened a little.

Hayata, who was carrying the tea tray, almost jogged back all the way. Just halfway through making the tea, she suddenly realized something was wrong and hurried back to take a look.

"You didn't say anything strange to Senior Gordon, did you?" Hayata glared at Pine.

"Of course not, we had a great chat, right Gordon."

".yes."

Hayata stared at Pine for two seconds, then said "hum" and continued to make tea while holding the empty tea tray.

Silence fell between the two men.

"well--."

Pine sighed, feeling that it was pointless to ask or say anything else.

Thinking of this, Pine felt a lot more relaxed. He began to ask Gordon about Hayata's time as a hunter, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became much more harmonious.

After some time, Hayata came back again, this time the tea tray in her hand was full.

In addition to tea sets such as cups and pots, there are also sugar and jam for flavoring the tea, as well as several snacks.

Pine took the teacup handed over by Hayata, and the first words the latter spoke made him flick his wrist, causing the tea to flow out.

"Uncle, have you found an aunt for me?"

"Uh, huh? Ah, why do you think so?"

Hayata pointed to the tea cup and then to the refreshments, "The tea leaves are new and the refreshments are also very fresh. They are also handmade. You don't do these things. You only soak bread in black tea and eat it."

The yard outside has also been carefully taken care of, Gordon added in his mind.

"Is that so?" Pine looked a little nervous.

Hayata rolled her eyes, "Why are you nervous? I will stop you? I have been asking you to find me an aunt since I was a child, but you always say that the job of leading a caravan is too dangerous and that others will look down on you.

of."

In fact, Hayata herself also knew that another more important reason why her uncle Payne never got married was because she was such a sluggish person.

"So who is this person? Is she beautiful? Do I know her?" Hayata asked with bright eyes.

Pine suddenly felt a little bit of Gordon's previous embarrassment. He rubbed his rough hands and said with a dry smile: "The one who has been taking care of you."

"Ah, as expected, Aunt Marpel? No, maybe I should call you aunt in the future. I have long thought that there is something wrong with you two, but you still refuse to admit it.

She was very beautiful when she was young, and her cooking was delicious. Although she was a widow with a child, sister Nellie was also very cute and timid. When I urged you to take the initiative, you refused.

It took so many years. Ah! I know, you really regarded me as a dragster, so you only started to take action after I left!"

"It's not like that, not like that."

Seeing Pine across the table lowering his head to accept Hayata's scolding, Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other.

Was Hayata so aggressive when she was at home?

One person and two cats were watching the show, but at this moment the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman in simple clothes walked in carrying a rattan basket.

Seeing the lively scene in the house, she was obviously taken aback.

"Aunt Mapel!" Hayata cheered and ran over.

But this time she obviously paid more attention and didn't make any bones creak like when she hugged Pine before.

Hayata did not continue to tease the two of them about this incident, but the title of "aunt" already showed her attitude.

Mapel was a little embarrassed at first, but after all, he was the one who single-handedly raised Hayata. After getting over the initial embarrassment, the three of them sat together like a family of three.

Gordon is numb.

When Hayata, the aunt-to-be, looked at her, her eyes were much harsher than even Pine's.

"Aunt, where is sister Nellie? Let's have dinner together tonight!" At this time, Hayata showed extraordinary enthusiasm.

She didn't understand it when she was a child, but when she grew up, she gradually realized how much her uncle Payne had paid for her.

Now that I have discovered that there is hope that Pine will be single, I can't wait to send the two of them to register immediately.

Mapel smiled and said: "Yes, I asked her to come over in the evening, and she often said 'Sister Hayata' to us. She has always admired you."

"Huh? Really?"

Mapel began to expose Hayata's background, "Hayatha looked quiet and quiet when she was young, but she was actually the king of children.

Nellie has a weak temperament. When a boy bullies her, she will rush over and beat them up. She will chase them with a stick and beat them. Children in the whole street are afraid of her."

"Auntie!"

Gordon grinned, not surprised.

Ever since he witnessed Hayata's "Red Blade Fever", he understood that Hayata's gentle side was just an appearance.

"Hayata, you know, right after you left Minagard two years ago, Nellie went to sign up for the hunter training camp." Pine took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Ah? What then?"

"Then he was kicked out within two days."

Mapel said angrily: "The child's arms and legs are like numb stalks. She has no strength at all. She can't lift the lightest training equipment. The instructor said she has no talent as a hunter."

"But sister Neli is very smart, loves to read notes and has a good temperament! She can be a scholar." Hayata could only say this.

Hunters are a profession that attaches great importance to talent and physical fitness. As long as they can successfully graduate from the training camp, even the most ordinary trainee hunter's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Basically, it’s the difference between the big wild boar and the big wild boar king, one in a hundred.

"Don't praise her so much. That child can barely be called a nerd. She is far from being a scholar.

But she still had some perseverance. She later went to the Hunter Assembly Hall to apply for a job as a receptionist, and she was about to become a regular employee recently. When she came back, she told us that there was a senior named Tiji who took good care of her."

Mapel said it rudely, but it could be seen that she was quite satisfied with her daughter.

"Tikkimeow?!" Pig Chop screamed.

It's somewhat of a stress disorder to the name.

"It seems that the assembly hall has been very busy recently." Pine threw another piece of tea into his mouth, "Nellie's kid hasn't been back for dinner in more than a week.

There are transportation teams in and outside the city, and the original business plan of the Chamber of Commerce has also been suspended.

Can you believe it? Even our stingy boss is willing to provide a batch of supplies for free for us to transport out the day after tomorrow. It’s not far away, we can reach the fortress in two days.”

Hearing Pine mention this, Gordon's and others' expressions suddenly became serious.

"I plan to ask you later, uncle, do you have any preparations?" Hayata asked.

"what to prepare?"

"You didn't get the news?" Hayata's face was full of disbelief. "Didn't Master Yamos tell you? Nellie didn't tell you either?"

"Well, I haven't seen that guy Yamos for a long time, but Nellie came back and mentioned that there was some monster approaching, and suggested that the two of us leave Minagard and go to other cities to hide.

Is that all?"

"What do you mean 'that's all'?" Hayata raised her eyebrows, "Do you know what is coming here now?!"

Pine didn't take it seriously at all.

"I don't know. It's some kind of powerful monster, right? But aren't everyone working hard to strengthen the fortress? There are still so many hunters coming, so it's no problem."
