"After your mother died, I hired Yondu to pick you up from Earth."

In the dark forest, Team Galactic and Ego and the 'Tentacle Girl' he brought with him named Mantis? Well, this is the nickname Star-Lord secretly gave her.

They gathered around the campfire and listened to Ego tell Star-Lord's life story.

"But he didn't give you back to me. He kept you."

Igo showed a sad expression like a father who lost his child.

“I still don’t understand why he did that.”

Star-Lord looked at his biological father, his throat choked up a little: "I'll tell you why, because I'm a skinny kid, I can sneak into places that adults can't enter, and it's easier to steal things."

This is Quill's true thought. He has always believed that he is living under Yondu's command. For the past twenty years, this adoptive father has always used those same old tricks to PUA him over and over again.

He saved him, and Yondu's men almost ate him, as if it was such a great thing that they didn't eat him at that time.

Quill believes that Yondu made Star-Lord what he is today, because it was he who kidnapped him, took him away from his home, and left him without any relatives.

Although he was grateful for raising Yondu, Star-Lord has long been resentful of him.

Hearing what Star-Lord said, Ego's expression softened: "Since then, I have been looking for your whereabouts."

“Now I finally got what I wanted.”

Ego's words deeply moved Star-Lord, who had always longed for blood relatives. Although he couldn't show anything on his face, even Gamora could see it. If he were alone, he would probably have cried under the quilt.

"How did you find us?"

Gamora is not very sensitive about family affection. Her relatives had died at the hands of Thanos a long time ago, so she did not really trust what Ego said.

"Oh, even though I live in such a remote place, I have heard of the legendary Star-Lord."

Ego did not directly answer Gamora's question, but cleverly changed the subject by praising his son.

"How about we go over there now? Your friends are welcome to come along."

"Including this little monkey with a triangular face, of course."

Rocket:???

Hard, my fist is hard. (Rocket secretly touched his face shape. Triangular face? This is obviously the most popular shoe-horn face on earth.)

Egg cordially invited Quill.

"There, I can explain to you your special background."

"I can finally be the father I've always wanted to be."

His biological father invited him in an almost pleading tone. Star-Lord felt his head buzzing, not knowing what to do.

"I..."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

With tears in his eyes, Igo seemed to have endured it to the extreme: "Excuse me for a moment."

For a moment, Star-Lord was about to agree on the spot, but the next second he heard Ego say:

"I drank too much water. I'm going to pee."

"......okay."

While Ego was satisfying his physiological needs, the silent 'tentacle girl' looked around to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Hello, my name is Mantis, you can also call me Mantis."

Drax, who was eating the porridge in the bowl, raised his head and looked around, and found that the woman was talking to him.

When Mantis saw Drax looking at her, she raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a "smile". It is no exaggeration to say that this smile would look perfect on the ghost protagonist in any horror movie.

"what are you doing?"

Drax, a muscular man, was given goose bumps by her in the middle of the night.

"Smile."

Mantis stared at her dark eyes and answered seriously: "I heard that doing this will make people like you." (Twitching)

That was a good laugh, but don’t laugh next time.

Drax shuddered, lowered his head, scooped a piece of paste with a spoon and put it into his mouth:

"You can't laugh like that."

"Oh! I grew up alone on Ego's planet. I don't understand the subtleties of interpersonal communication."

Mantis shifted his gaze embarrassedly and happened to see Rocket licking the wound on the back of his hand.

"Can I pet your dog? It's so cute."

Drax froze, then realized that Mantis's eyes were on Rocket.

With the mentality of enjoying the fun, Drax nodded.

Thinking he had received permission, Mantis happily extended his hand toward Rocket.

"what!!!"

As soon as her hand touched the dog's fur, Rocket suddenly turned his head and bit her.

"Hahahahaha!"

Mantis was startled and she was so scared that she almost cried.

"This is called a prank, hahaha."

Drax laughed out loud, and seeing how happy he was, Mantis couldn't help but be infected by this emotion. This was the warmest emotion she had ever felt in her life.

“I like it a lot, it’s quite interesting.”

Rocket rolled his eyes at the two of them and didn't take it seriously.

Xingyun looked at the two fools laughing so hard that he fell over and shook his head helplessly.

After some discussion, Star-Lord decided to go to the place Ego mentioned with Gamora and Drax.

Rocket, Nebula, and Groot stay to repair the ship.

The two teams separated.

night.

Rocket listened to the old tape left by Star-Lord in the spacecraft, humming a song while doing repair work with the equipment.

"I'm hungry! Give me some Arogan!"

Xingyun screamed, the delicious-looking Yarogan were not far from her hand, but she was handcuffed and couldn't move at all.

"No, those are not ripe yet."

Rocket refused Nebula's request without even looking up.

Little Groot climbed onto Nebula's shoulders at some point, but looking at his small body, his IQ was probably only comparable to that of a preschool child on Earth.

"I'm Groot."

Xingyun felt the little tree man stretching his arm towards her mouth and choked speechlessly: "You can't eat your arm, little fool."

"Go! Get me an Arogan."

"I'm Groot."

The little tree man agreed readily, but before Nebula could be happy for a moment, she saw Groot jump off the ground, climb onto the table, walk around the plate with Yarogan, and raise the glass of water next to him to her as if offering a treasure.

"I'm Groot."

Xingyun gritted his teeth and almost laughed out of anger: "You little idiot, this is not what I want!"

Groot blinked and looked at Nebula. He tilted his head to look at the drink in the glass and blinked his big eyes: "I'm Groot!"

"I'm Groot!"

The little guy raised his water cup excitedly.

His stomach growled and Xingyun, starving, took a few deep breaths, trying to pull himself back from the brink of going berserk.

"never mind."

She gave up on herself and decided to starve all night.

"Eat this."

Rocket held a piece of bread to Nebula's mouth, shook it, and an intriguing expression appeared on his furry face: "We don't have a tradition of abusing prisoners."

"Lucky for you, this is one of Quill's private collections."

Xingyun took a big bite without hesitation. The bread was soft and had a milky aroma. It tasted really good.

Rocket held the bread and watched her eat, not even feeling tired.

suddenly,

He seemed to have heard something, and his ears pricked up.

"Someone is coming."

The bumpy train stopped on a slightly flatter lawn, and Lin Ze got off with his friends.

"Xing, don't follow us. It's not safe here and it's dark. Guard the train and wait for us to come back."

Lucy nodded: "Okay, be safe."

...

"Damn it, this kid Quill ran far away."

Yongdu glanced at the subordinate who was speaking, narrowed his eyes and said viciously:

"Catch him alive. I will kill him myself."
