Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1470 Sisters
After knocking gently on the wooden door a few times, Hayata took a half step back and waited patiently.

Uncle Pine may not be at home now, but Aunt Mapel should be.

Sure enough, she soon heard footsteps coming from inside the house, and the question "Here they come, who is it?"

Hayata opened her mouth and was about to answer, but was choked by a thought that suddenly popped into her mind.

Who am I to the family behind the door?

She is Uncle Pine's niece, but not his biological daughter. Now her uncle has remarried and has children.

So, am I an “outsider”?

Just as she was struggling with this, the hostess confirmed the visitor through the door mirror, opened the door in surprise and hugged her.

"Hayata! When did you come back? Wow, you've grown taller again!"

All the random thoughts in his mind were washed away, Hayata bent down slightly and hugged the other person as well.

"Auntie, I'm back."

"Come in, come in!"

Mapel, who was obviously a little excited, pulled Hayata into the house. Gordon followed behind with a smile, lowered his head to avoid the door frame, and entered the house.

The furnishings in the house haven't changed much from what I remember, but many details have become more refined and warm.

For example, the beautiful glass cold water pitcher on the table.

It used to be a clay pot.
Asking the two to sit down and preparing some tea and snacks, Mapel suddenly screamed.

She put all thoughts about tea and snacks behind her and walked quickly to Gordon, looking at Muti, who looked particularly petite in Gordon's arms, and wiped her hands vigorously on her apron.

She said in a reproachful tone: "How can you hold a child like this?!"

She gently "grabbed" Muti and rubbed the little guy's nose. Muti, who felt a little itchy, giggled.

After weighing him carefully twice, Mapel couldn't help but exclaim, "Little Muti is only less than 15 months old, right? He's growing really strong!"

The smile on Hayata's face became particularly bright.

She stood up and took out tea sets and snacks from the familiar cabinet, and asked, "Where's Adela?" (Chapter 1044)
Nellie had heard a lot about Adela, and she had been looking forward to having this little sister for a long time.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Adela! Your sister is back, come down quickly!" Mapel shouted upstairs.

Not long after, a little girl who looked no more than three years old, with curly hair, came down the stairs step by step, leaning sideways against the wall.

Unlike Nellie's timid appearance when she was a child, the little girl is very lively.

She came to Hayata and asked with blinking eyes: "Are you the big sister?"

Gordon at the side couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What's your name, big sister?"

Adela answered seriously, “Dad always said that Adela’s older sister was called Hayata, she was very tall and had brown hair.

The second sister is called Nali and has golden hair.

The second sister came back some time ago, so she is the eldest sister?"

Hayata picked her up and kissed the little girl hard on the face, "Yes, I am your sister!"

Then she turned around and asked Mapel, "Aunt, where is Nellie? Isn't she at home?"

She suddenly wanted to take a photo with the three sisters, Nellie and Adela.

Hearing this, Mapel's smile faded a little, and he snorted in dissatisfaction, "She hasn't been in Minagard recently.

Last time I came back, I followed that Gene to Pokai Village."

After a two-second pause, she complained, "It's her freedom to choose what she wants, but to be honest, Pine and I don't like that kid named Gene that much.

Too frivolous and arrogant, always calling me "I", unlike Gordon who is steady and steady. "

"Uh." Gordon didn't know what to say for a moment.

If you spend more time with Gene, you will find that his frivolous and arrogant nature is only on the surface. In essence, he is a kind and reliable person.

But if you just meet him once, that guy really won't leave a good impression on you.

Especially when you meet the parents, you point your thumb at yourself and say, "I'm Gene!"

No wonder it's unpopular.

After saying a few good words for Gene indirectly, they talked to Aunt Mapel about their experiences in the New World over the years.

Not the ones about monsters, of course, but more everyday stuff.

For example, the small house they had in the Star Base had a big tree running through the living room and a large fish tank.

For example, the life-giving starlight of the Great Anthill Wasteland, the colorful coral plateau, and the snowy scenery of the permafrost.

For example, the Detels look very similar to Elu, but have manes.

For example, Nari is very popular among the young people in the investigation team.
They chatted from noon to afternoon. Hayata accompanied her aunt to buy groceries and they cooked a table full of delicious food together.

Gordon was too big and was considered a nuisance, so he had to stay at home and play with the two children out of boredom.

In the evening, after finishing work at the Chamber of Commerce, Pine returned home and was very surprised to see Hayata.

The family continued chatting until midnight.

Despite their uncle and aunt's strong persuasion, they did not rent a house in the assembly hall, but lived at home.

The room where Hayata lived when she was a child is still there, but the bed looks a little small even for Hayata lying alone, let alone Gordon.

Helpless, Gordon had to sleep on the floor.

Hayata slept peacefully on the small bed, holding her childhood doll.

The next day.

The habits they have developed over the years make them get up very early.

The daily morning exercises in the yard inevitably attracted the curious eyes of the neighbors.

After that, they returned home to wash up and have a hearty breakfast carefully prepared by their aunt. Then they put on their armor and weapons and prepared to go out.

They were planning to visit Hayata's master, Amos, and then go to the gathering place to meet some acquaintances, so it would not be appropriate to wear casual clothes.

Hayata was very fortunate that her [Avalanche] was taken away by the leader of the second phase group for transformation, and she was wearing another set of main protective gear [Tenglong].

Compared with the former, the appearance of [Tamron] is at least much more "normal".

Even so, in order to avoid trouble, Hayata asked her aunt for two cloaks to cover her protective gear.

His uncle, who occasionally went out with the caravan to do business, had no shortage of cloaks at home, but unfortunately, Hayata could wear his cloak, but Gordon couldn't put it on at all.

Mapel rummaged through the boxes and found him a coarse cloth bedspread, which was useful when wrapped around him, but it made him look a bit like someone from the desert.
Little Muti was left at home temporarily by them. With his aunt Mapel helping to take care of him, there was no need to worry.

After saying goodbye to her uncle, aunt and younger sister Adela, Hayata happily walked to the street with Gordon.

Then they found that their looks were still eye-catching.

In broad daylight, in the city, wrapped tightly in a cloak and carrying a weapon that was also wrapped tightly, he didn't look like a serious person at all.

He even attracted questioning from the sheriff along the way.

Fortunately, they had the hunter's notes with them to prove their identities, but even so, it took them some effort to explain themselves.

Seeing Gordon lift his cloak, the sheriff had to admit that this guy's body size combined with the armor was really scary.
Hayata is fine though.

At least from the perspective of ordinary people, there is actually not much difference between [Tenglong] and those more common hunter armors.

After realizing this, Hayata decisively took off his cloak and kept a few meters away from Gordon.

Only Gordon remained as the "suspicious element".
