Edge of the Emerald Star

The leader who controls Rouge Forest, that is, the Org named Yuemu, lives in a very extraordinary place.

In the center of the rouge forest, a huge square building stands in it. It is not so much a residence, but more like the hound training center of the Black Waterway. It is huge, gorgeous, and well-organized, but the appearance looks much more gorgeous than the monotonous hound training center.

At the same time, it is the place where toy dogs are produced most.

"I hate this place." These were the first words Kodachi said when he arrived at Yuemu's residence.

The smiles of the AI ​​who came to greet him froze, as if they were interpreting the meaning of Kodachi's words.

"Xiao Taidao, this is very impolite." Xinghua stretched out his hand to rub the other's earlobe, and then was slapped away.

"Hate is hate."

Xinghua shrugged, pulled the small sword and walked into the building.

Unlike the bright light in the Black Waterway Hound Training Center, the light in Yuemu's residence is dim. It seems that he doesn't like bright places very much. This habit is different from ordinary Orgs.

The walls on both sides are lined with a whole side of glass, just like the display cabinets of merchants, but what is displayed inside are not commodities, but beautiful human beings.They and they were wearing revealing tights, and they stayed in a room-sized area with charming and well-behaved expressions. Some were posing, and some just stayed inside quietly.

Although Qinghui stated that he would not come, there were still many Orgs who came at Yuemu's invitation.

Xinghua and Xiaodachi walked at the end. When a group of Orgs passed by the glass window, the play dogs inside all rushed up, trying to attract the attention of the Orgs.

Kodachi frowned.

"What's wrong?" Xinghua asked.

Kodachi just frowned and didn't speak.

The Orgs saw the toy dogs in the display window, and whispered to each other like appreciating objects.

Xinghua also took a look at a few glass windows. The humans inside are all soft, slender, and beautiful. It is indeed the main production area of ​​toy dogs. The quality is not generally good. Yuemu has raised very good toy dogs.

It's a pity... none of them made him feel special. If it was special, his little dagger was the most special.

"Are you interested?" the red-haired AI asked.Yuemu assigns an AI to serve each Org, and Xinghua is no exception.Here in Yuemu, even the AI ​​is particularly beautiful.

Xinghua tilted his head, and he pulled the little sword: "Little sword, are you interested in anyone? I can buy it to accompany you."

"I'm not interested!" Xiao Taidao pushed Xinghua's hand away, looking a little annoyed.

Xinghua didn't know why Xiaodachi lost his temper, he just thought he was having a fight.

Fortunately, Kodachi is really not interested, and Xinghua doesn't want to bring another pet with him casually, but if Kodachi is really interested, in order to pet Kodachi, he might really buy a pet he doesn't want.

Xinghua sighed, touched Xiao Taidao's head, and said with emotion: "I really love you."

"Don't touch my head!" Kodachi punched, and Xinghua took it.

Xinghua, who seemed to find it amused, smiled, but the other Orgs and play dogs present showed expressions of disbelief, and the AI ​​even stepped forward to stop Kodachi.

Xinghua and Kodachi are almost getting used to this situation.

When an Org was about to come forward to reprimand Kodachi, the master of Rouge Forest, Yue Mu, attracted the attention of others at the right time.

That Rouge Lin, the master of the city where toy dogs are produced, is not as glamorous as everyone thinks, it is a tall and slender Org, his hair color is deep golden yellow, and his mouthparts are orange Bud-shaped, this color indicates that he is not such a "pure" Org, and that he is old.

When Yue Mu appeared, Xinghua found that although many Orgs didn't say much because of their seniority, and took off their robes and hats to show their respect, their eyes still showed more or less contempt.

This is probably the time when Org's emotions are closest to humans. Xinghua finds it very interesting, but unfortunately he does not have such emotions.

After Yue Mu came out, he basically said what the owner should say, welcome everyone to choose his carefully bred toy dogs, etc. Xinghua knew that Yue Mu must have noticed everyone's eyes, so his speech did not have any meaning. After talking too much, it ended hastily, and finally, the eyes fell on him.

Xinghua didn't know if it was because his hair color was so conspicuous that he attracted Yuemu's attention. Maybe he shouldn't have taken off his robe and hat when everyone took off, but it would still be very conspicuous.

Xinghua noticed that Yuemu was smiling at him, so he could only respond with a smile.

Then, Yue Mu whispered something to the AI ​​beside him, but no one heard it, but when Yue Mu turned and left the scene, the named AI walked towards them.

Xinghua hopes it is not a bad thing.

It's not a bad thing, but it's still suspicious!

"Why do you want to stay! You don't have a toy dog ​​you want? Then go back!"

"No, Yue Mu invited us to have dinner and stay overnight. We can't refuse their kindness."

Yuemu sent the AI ​​over to express his meaning. Originally, he only invited them, the Orgs in distress, to visit, but after seeing Xinghua, he expressed his intention to have dinner with them—only He Xing Hua and Kodachi.

Xinghua stroked his hair, it really was his hair color that caused trouble, maybe he should have dyed his hair before he came out there... But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is a little interested in Yue Mu, so stay and see him It doesn't matter what he wants to do.

"Come, sir, please." said the red-haired AI who led the way, and he led them to the top of Yuemu's residence.

Before reaching a room, the AI ​​left them alone, and then a different person greeted them.

It was a short human girl with a small face and a small body. She was quite cute, but she couldn't say she was particularly beautiful.Such human beings appearing in the place where the high-quality toy dogs are produced are really not... in tune.

"Huh?" Xinghua and Xiaodachi were both stunned...

"Master Xinghua, hello! Master Yuemu sent me to take you to the hall for dinner." The girl spoke in a strange way, and even Xinghua's Hua was pronounced Hua.She also walked very stiffly, and cuddled up to Xinghua with a very deliberately feigned enthusiasm.

Xinghua smiled and patted the other person's head: "What's your name?"

"Meimei, I'm called Meimei." The little girl smiled, holding Xinghua's hand.

"Can I call you Xiaomei?"

"of course can!"

The Org in front of him seemed to be chatting with the human beings, while Kodachi was confused behind him. This little girl looked weird, as if she was approaching Xinghua for some specific purpose.

Kodachi, who had never been out of the hound training institute, had never touched a girl, so he carefully poked her open with the scabbard.

"Stay away."

"What do you want to do, a hound?" The girl named Meimei stared at Kodachi with a puzzled expression on her face, she was holding on to the scabbard of Kodachi.

Little Dao frowned.

"What's wrong? Kodachi, don't you like me being nice to other humans?" Xinghua grabbed Kodachi and rubbed his head.

"No! I'm just afraid that she might be dangerous, and I don't want to kill myself." Xiao Taidao pushed Xinghua away, the knife was still pointed at Meimei.

"She's just a little girl, she won't hurt me."

"I don't think so."

"What's the meaning?"

"Didn't you see that my knife can't be pulled back?"

Before the two could finish their conversation, the voice of Master Yan Zhilin sounded from one end of the room.

"I asked you to bring Master Xinghua here, can't you even handle such a small matter?"

Hearing this, Meimei's whole body froze, she let go of the scabbard of the katana, and put on Xinghua's arm hypocritically.

"I'm sorry, Master Yuemu, we just had a 'very good relationship' chat!" She especially emphasized the words "very good relationship".

With a cold face, Yue Mu ignored Meimei's explanation, walked towards them, and pulled Meimei away from Xinghua's side.

"I'm sorry for making you accept such hospitality, and I will entertain you personally." Yue Mu smiled kindly at Xinghua.

"It's okay." Xinghua shook his head.He always felt that there was something hidden about it.

"Then, please follow me." Yue Mu turned sideways and led them forward.

Xiao Taidao didn't follow immediately, but just stared at Meimei beside her, who was biting her nails with a troubled look on her face.

"Hey!"

"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen a beautiful toy dog?" Xiao Taidao just barked, but was returned fiercely by the other party.

Before she had time to say anything more, Meimei ran away, and Xiaodachi stood there for a while, until Xinghua's urging voice came from the front.

Said to have dinner together, but Org doesn't need supplementary food.

Xiao Taidao poked at the things in front of him with a disgusted face, only clear water and a few small snacks, the food he imagined was very different, he thought it would at least be as rich as what Xinghua fed him.

"What's wrong?" Xinghua asked in a low voice next to Xiao Taidao's ear.

"Is this thing edible?" Xiao Taidao took a bite, he didn't like the delicate taste, but swallowed it reluctantly. "I can't!"

"Any questions?" Yue Mu, who was drinking clear water, saw Xing Hua and Xiao Tai Dao whispering to each other, he asked.

"No, no problem." Xinghua raised his head, and he smiled at Yue Mu: "I'm just curious, why does Lord Yue Mu want to keep us for dinner?"

"Ah... about this..." Yue Mu paused.

"Is it because of this?" Xinghua held his hair.Contrary to Moon Twilight, light and bright blue silver, that is a hair color that is rarely seen in Org.

"To tell you the truth, I noticed you when the news of the light train encountering the black hook came out outside the rouge forest, and when the list of bugs was sent. Your hair color is really very good among this group of Orgs. Conspicuous..." Yue Mu paused again, and then continued: "I heard that Orgs in cutting-edge cities usually have this kind of hair color, light blue and silver, and the lighter it is, the more "pure breed" it is, because you guys They were all born directly from the "mother"..."

"What is mother?" Xiao Taidao asked beside Xing Hua.

"It's this planet." Xinghua answered yes, but Xiaodachi was confused.

"Because you are a direct descendant of your mother, noble Orgs usually don't come to the southern cities and don't come into contact with humans, so I'm curious how an Org like you can come here."

"Then, the reason you invited all the Orgs to visit was just to catch me from the beginning?" Xinghua asked directly.

Yue Mu just smiled and didn't deny it: "I just wanted to try, but I didn't expect you to really come."

"Ah...so what? I'm here now, what do you want to ask me?"

"Then I won't be reserved anymore. My question is very simple. I just want to know what is your purpose for coming here from the cutting-edge urban agglomeration? It's not just for wandering."

"My answer is also very simple, just look at it." After speaking, Xinghua and Yuemu's eyes fell on Xiaodachi.

"Are you here to buy hunting dogs?" But Xinghua's answer didn't seem to satisfy Yue Mu, but aroused his interest even more: "Why? I thought cutting-edge urban agglomerations didn't need hunting dogs... or Said, there are insects on your side too?"

Xinghua shook his head: "I'm just very interested in human beings."

"Really..." Yue Mu was silent for a while, he narrowed his slender eyes, and then he said something intriguing: "A purebred Org who is interested in humans is a little dangerous."

"Why? Isn't Master Yuemu also very interested in humans? The Org outside described you, saying that you...are deeply influenced by humans." Xinghua changed the words to be more pleasant.

"Say I'm interested in them?" Yue Mu chuckled a few times and shook her head: "That's not correct. To be precise, I just like beautiful things. I like to keep these beautiful things private, or share them with others of the same kind." Sharing, humans are just objects, how can I be affected by them...? I think the Org outside probably misunderstood me, after all, I was born and raised in the southern Org, and impure Orgs are always criticized by pure Orgs .”

Xinghua suddenly felt a little disappointed. He originally thought that Yuemu was different from other Orgs, but it turned out that they were the same.

"But you are different. Judging from the way you got along with your hound just now, you are real to humans..."

"Kuang Dang", the sound of broken glass interrupted Yue Mu's words, it was that girl named Mei Mei again.She was holding a broken water bottle in her hand, with a look of astonishment.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Yuemu, I accidentally..."

"Okay, okay, let's go down!" Yue Mu looked helpless.

"But!"

"Don't be, I've given you two chances, go down!"

Meimei pouted and looked like she was about to cry, but in the end she just crushed the bottle and ran out.

"Really, I'm sorry, Lord Xinghua, I'll let the AI ​​handle it immediately." Yue Mu said.

"What was that just now?"

"Ah... poor quality." Yue Mu said.

"Bad product?"

"Although I specialize in producing toy dogs here and are famous for their high quality, there are occasional accidents. The one just now, the mother and father are both excellent breeders, but it's a pity that it gave birth to inferior dogs. Not only is it not beautiful in appearance, He has a weird tone of voice, and is extremely strong, always breaking things or making embarrassments in front of guests." Yue Mu sighed softly: "Let me tell you the truth! The reception and serving actions should be done by AI, it will Let Meimei do it because I want to give her a chance."

strong?Xinghua remembered what Xiaodachi said just now, how strong is the strength that even Xiaodachi can't break free easily?

"What chance?" Xinghua asked.

"Master Xinghua must be interested in toy dogs here, right? I gave her a chance, of course, to see if she can be liked by you, but it's a pity... such a low-quality toy dog, don't say whether you can see it or not It’s okay, I’m too embarrassed to give it up.”

Xinghua smiled, but did not express his opinion.

"Tomorrow I will send her to the breeding farm as a stud dog. Although she is still young, she will be somewhat useful when she is of breeding age."

Female breeders are probably the lowest-class type of human beings, they are just used to conceive and breed the next generation, and they are like this all their lives.Xinghua thought back, no wonder the little girl just now had to deliberately please him.

"Speaking of which... Master Xinghua's hunting dog is also very good! If it is used as a breeding dog, it will definitely breed excellent offspring." Yue Mu asked: "How? Is Master Xinghua interested? Here I will pick out the most beautiful toy dog ​​for you, you only need to mate your hunting dog with my toy dog, and you can breed your own excellent offspring."

As soon as Yue Mu finished speaking, Xiao Taidao spit out the water he just drank. He angrily pulled Xinghua's collar and swung his fists to beat him up.

"Do you, you, you, you, you, you do to me just to make me have a baby?" Xiaodachi didn't forget that when Xinghua did that to him, he did say that it was an action similar to human mating. Will have a baby, then it doesn't mean...

Xinghua was taken aback for a moment before realizing what Xiaodachi had misunderstood.

Xinghua pressed his stomach, and suddenly laughed until he bent down.

"What are you laughing at!" Kodachi blushed with anger.

Xinghua laughed for a long time before recovering, he took a deep breath.He tapped Kodachi's forehead with his finger: "You are male, not female, so you will not have children."

It seems that all the Hound has learned in training is really only related to combat.

Xinghua couldn't help laughing again.

"Enough! Stop laughing!" Xiao Taidao roared, but Xinghua couldn't stop laughing.

Yue Mu, who participated in the whole process, frowned because of this.

"Did I hear you right?" Yue Mu narrowed her eyes, her deep voice made Xing Hua and Xiao Tai Dao stop their movements. "Master Xinghua, have you and your pet... mated?"

"Well, because his temper is too violent, so I listened to AI's advice and used this method to calm him down." Yue Mu's expression was very strange, and Xing Hua was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I didn't know you had such an interest." Yue Mu shook her head and laughed, Xing Hua heard the contempt inside. "Master Xinghua, no matter what kind of pet it is, if it is bad, we will kill it directly, and our Org will not do this kind of thing with humans, let alone you are such a noble purebred Org."

"I didn't know there was such a rule."

"This is not a rule, but common sense...Master Xinghua, where are you from? Why don't you even know this bit of common sense?"

The smile on Xinghua's face disappeared, and he shook his head: "I don't think I need to talk so much about myself, as for me and my hunting dog...how I want to love him, I don't think anyone else should ask .” Xinghua pulled Xiao Taidao to hug him, but was quickly freed.

Facing Xinghua's aggressive attitude, Yue Mu just smiled without saying a word, but Xinghua saw suspicion in his eyes.

Yue Mu is not the Org that Xinghua imagined, he is still the same as the ordinary Org, which makes him quite disappointed.

But this trip wasn't all fruitless, at least he knew that his hair color was too conspicuous, and he couldn't tell the other Org that he had mated with Kodachi.

Ah──He is still too naive, as expected, he should observe thoroughly before escaping.Today he also made fun of Kodachi's lack of knowledge about mating, but he didn't know that he was just laughing at fifty steps, and there were many things he didn't know.

Xinghua was a little annoyed. When he was staring at the feasting night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and thinking about something, the wet katana ran out of the bathroom with his upper body bare and his lower body only wrapped in a towel.

Because he didn't want Kodachi to be caught and take a bath with the play dogs here in the David bathroom, so Xinghua let Kodachi use his dedicated bathroom.

It only took a few minutes to run out. Has the child been washed?Xinghua was thinking, and his eyes followed the extremely busy little Taidao running around.

Kodachi kept rummaging through the things on the table.

"Wait, you're almost tearing this place down, what are you looking for?" Xinghua couldn't help laughing.

"I'm hungry." A dinner was tasteless. It should be said that there was nothing delicious for Xiaodachi.After being fed by Xinghua with delicious food, his tongue became greedy.

"Ah! There is!"

Xiaodachi finally found something to eat in other cabinets, but it was the same snack as today's dinner, and there was a bottle of strange things in addition.

"What is this?" Xiao Tai Dao shook.

"He actually provided such a rare thing. This is wine." Xinghua took the bottle and quickly opened it. He sniffed it and handed it back to Xiao Taidao.

Kodachi sniffed it, but couldn't tell what it smelled like.

"Quick, drink and watch." Xinghua coaxed.

Little Dao frowned, looked at Xinghua suspiciously, shrugged his shoulders at last, and took a big gulp.As long as it's delicious and delicious, he won't make trouble with his stomach just to make trouble.

As soon as it entered his throat, Kodachi wrinkled his whole face, then opened his mouth with a wow, and all the undrinked wine leaked out.

"What's wrong?"

"It's so bitter and stinging! Did you drink poison for me?" Because the esophagus felt like it was going to burn, Xiao Taidao presumed that there was something wrong with it, grabbed the knife that was put aside, and was about to smash the bottle of wine when he drew it .

"Slow down!" Xinghua hurriedly stopped the opponent. "Alcohol is like this, it will irritate your throat, isn't your body hot now?"

"So what? You can't drink this stuff."

"Why can't you drink it? You made it yourself. Alcohol is a very popular thing among human beings. It was widely spread long before you were colonized by the Org, and even wiped out by the Org." The past today is still there, of course you can drink it, and you are very lucky to be able to drink it!"

Although he explained, Kodachi still looked at the bottle of wine with full vigilance.

Xinghua shrugged and took a sip by himself.

Sweet and bitter, very stimulating, really not as good as expected.Xinghua held back a sip of wine, her pretty face wrinkled, while Kodachi said: Look, I told you so!

Xinghua was not annoyed either, he smiled, took another sip of his drink, then held his head in his hands and kissed him under Kodachi's astonished gaze, and gave the drink to Kodachi viciously.

Xiao Taidao reflexively wanted to punch Xinghua's stomach, but when he thought that the same impact would happen to his stomach later, he finally just tapped it lightly, and then began to pull Xinghua's hair, twisting His fingers were as strong as if he was playing with Xinghua.

Xinghua finally opened the distance between them, but all the wine went into Xiao Taidao's stomach. He licked his bright red lips and smiled like a satiated cat.

"Does this taste better?"

"Xinghua──"

Xiao Taidao's face was swollen to the color of a pig's liver, and he didn't know whether it was from being angry or because of the drink.

"Do you want some more?" Xinghua shook the bottle.

Kodachi is really going to punch the Org in front of him.

In the end, instead of beating the beautiful Org into a pig's head, he was given a lot of alcohol.

The body was so hot, so light, and Kodachi was sunk in the soft mattress, covering his eyes with his arms.

Xinghua sat on the side, stroking Kodachi's body time and time again, the scars on his body from the black hook were shallow and everywhere, but the gloss did not decrease.

Xinghua carefully outlined the texture of the katana with his fingers, and leaned over to kiss the opponent's head.

The man in front of him is the first hunting dog he personally selected, and also the second human being who is so close to him... Xinghua found that he liked Xiaodachi much more than he had expected.

For example, now, obviously he can wander around and watch all kinds of beautiful toy dogs, but he just wants to stay in the room and annoy Xiaodachi.

Xinghua poked Kodachi, and poked again.

"Don't bother me! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Xinghua poked twice more.

"Tsk!" Little Dao patted Xinghua away, he scratched the back of his head, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what happened to the mother you were talking about today?"

"interested in?"

"It's just curiosity, I'm uncomfortable with the question." How can Xinghua know so many things about human beings, but he doesn't know anything about Org.

"I didn't tell you that, what mother is referring to is this, the planet you are stepping on." Xinghua pointed down.

"You were born of this thing? Isn't it Org?" Kodachi just didn't understand this.

"It's not this thing, it's mother." Xinghua corrected.

"This thing can't even talk, how did you give birth to you? Hey, hey! Can you talk?" Xiao Taidao yelled at the ground.

"The mother body is at the north end, and it won't talk to humans."

Xinghua pulled the little Taidao back and decided to explain it clearly.He held a strand of his own hair and put it in Kodachi's hand: "Do you like my hair color?"

Xiao Taidao lowered his head, looked at the silver hair emitting a faint blue light in his hand, and threw it away: "I don't like it!"

"My hair color is very rare among Orgs. This hair color means that we are purebred Orgs born directly from our mother."

"Pure or not? In my eyes, you all look alike! If you were put together, I probably wouldn't recognize you."

"It would be too much not to recognize."

Xinghua knocked Xiaodachi on the head, but attracted the other party's attack. Xiaodachi threw Xinghua down, and they held their palms, refusing to give in to each other.Xinghua still had time to laugh there, while Kodachi tried his best.

"The purebreds are the Orgs that were born directly from the mother, that is, this planet, and the impure ones are the Orgs that bred each other.

"Orgs from mid-range cities like Qinghui, although the previous generation was also an Org, but only one generation away, they are still pure. Those from southern cities, like Yuemu, were born many generations later, and their mother's lineage is already very weak , so it is considered to be very impure. Do you understand this?"

"You don't need to explain so much at all, I'm not really that interested." Kodachi snorted.

"If you can be a little interested, it would be great if you can more or less understand, huh?" Xinghua just smiled, and pressed the little sword back on the bed.He pressed his forehead and mouth, and looked at him. "Maybe someone will understand how I feel..."

Xinghua's eyes were crooked with a smile, and the emerald green eyes were shining brightly.

Kodachi narrowed his eyes dangerously, and before the opponent could react, he stretched out his legs and clamped the opponent's waist, twisting his body, trying to bring the opponent down.

"Little Taidao——" Xinghua issued a warning sound, but the only response was the hound's disdainful snort.

Looks like his beagle has another calcium deficiency.
