animal ears

?There was no place to go, so I planned to go home after picking the fruit.

Cole, who packed up the baskets and was about to leave the orchard, looked up and saw Sarah smiling softly and nodding to him under the shade of the tree. He wore a hood to cover his silver-gray hair and the pair of animal ears. It was that face but it was as beautiful as ever.

Immediately putting down his things and running over, Cole breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sarah who was fine. He raised his head, looked straight at Sarah and said, "It's great that Sarah is fine."

"Huh?" Sarah tilted her head.

"Because the orcs said they found your footprints in the bloody bee's place, but they couldn't find you anywhere, so I'm very worried."

Squatting down slightly, Sarah and Cole looked at each other, smiled and said, "Cole is worried about me?"

Nodding, Cole replied honestly: "Well, because I think it's too dangerous for you to be alone in the woods, but I don't know where to find you, and I've been thinking about it these days."

Sara held her chin and stared at Cole playfully for several times. After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Speaking of being alone in the woods, isn't Cole the same? The little one who has been following you Where are the orcs?"

"Norman went hunting with the orcs early in the morning, and he won't be back until the afternoon, and I've always been like this, so I'm fine alone." Cole replied with a smile.

The purple eyes flickered slightly, Sarah lowered her eyes, lowered her voice, and asked Cole: "People here treat you badly?"

This is true, but not quite.

But there's no need to tell Sarah, who is like me, that it would be bad if bad memories of Sarah came back, so Cole shook his head and whispered, "Actually, everyone treats me pretty well..."

"Hehe." Sara laughed suddenly, rubbed Cole's head with her hand, stood up, looked at Cole wistfully and said, "Kole won't lie at all."

"It's true!" Quickly retorted, "At least Uncle Aili's family is very kind to me!"

"This is the case now, but what about the future?" Sara looked at Cole, squinted her eyes slightly, and asked earnestly, "It's good for you now, but in the future they can't help but be pointed at by others and drive you away." Outside, when you take back your so-called 'good intentions', no one even knows about your death, that's lonely and terrible."

Apart from shock, Cole didn't know what expression to use to face Sarah.

The memory suddenly came back to life, my chest started to have inexplicable cramps, and my fingers gradually started to feel cold. The peaceful days I have been living almost made me forget the pain of such a lonely death, and I forgot that I was in a certain day in the future, where no one knew. Die desolately in the quiet rainy night.

I never thought that my own experience would be understood by Sara's words. Cole held his chest gently, tried to calm his trembling body, and then said as if to comfort himself: "But, they are really good to me. , and this time I will definitely not..."

"Don't be stupid, who will be unconditionally nice to an outsider for the rest of their lives?" Sara withdrew all her smiles, closed her eyes as if mocking, and said, "Especially for a female with animal ears like a male, for them In other words, you are useless except to be able to bear children."

"Uncle Eli is not this kind of person." Cole shook his head in denial.

"Otherwise, why would he adopt you, a 'monster'?" The beautiful purple eyes slowly eroded the pair of clear eyes that confronted him step by step. Soon, the "pure breed" in front of him would become own stuff.

"Because Uncle Eli said that my parents are his good friends..."

"Then do people in the village know your parents?" Sarah shook her head, interrupting Cole's words, and asked back.

It was only then that Cole discovered that he had never heard his parents mentioned by other people in the village. Uncle Eli said they were best friends, but no one in the village knew his parents, and he seemed to have heard about his parents before he was reborn. Others said that he was picked up from the outside by Uncle Aili.

After a long time, Cole said to Sara: "I don't know either. I haven't heard anyone mention it. Since I can remember, I don't know who my parents are. I only know that my parents have passed away..."

Sarah sneered, leaned over pointingly, and whispered in Cole's ear: "It's just what I heard, do you think it's reliable?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Hey, come with me, Cole." Sarah suddenly stretched out her hand to Cole, and Cole was slightly taken aback, "Maybe your parents may still be alive, don't you want to find them? The relatives who truly belong to oneself will never abandon their relatives..."

Staring blankly at the hand stretched out in front of his eyes, it's not that Cole has never thought of leaving the village, but he is reluctant to treat him like a family member of the Aili family. Even if he doesn't know some things, it doesn't mean that Cole doesn't know how to look at people, and the care and love he receives are not fake. He likes that family very much, and Cole knows this very well.

So he shook his head at that hand, Cole regained his composure, looked up at Sarah and said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Sarah, but I want to stay here."

The pupils of the eyes instantly turned cold.

"Why." His voice dropped several degrees.

"Because I like this village, even if the people in the village don't like me, I still like it... Besides, this is the place where I was raised since I was a child. I am familiar with all the places here, even every plant and tree. I am willing to be like this Live in peace," Cole said.

"Can you live in peace..." Repeating Cole's words, Sarah suddenly smiled, "So you like this place so much... That's my trouble, I'm so sorry, Cole." Then turned around body, as if to leave.

"Sarah? Are you leaving?" Cole couldn't help but asked a few steps forward.

Turning her head, Sarah raised the corners of her mouth, nodded and said, "Because I decided to continue traveling."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm planning to go to the south. It is said that there are many strange tribes and ethnic groups in the south. I want to visit." Sara replied.

"Then...will you come back?"

After all, he was the first of his kind to meet, so Cole couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant.

Gently looking back and smiling, the slightly cold fingers gently scraped the tip of Cole's nose, and then, the tall female suddenly bent down and kissed Cole's forehead, and said softly to him: "I will definitely come back, although not Know when, but if I find you still alone when I come back, I'll take you away."

Eh?

Clutching his kissed forehead, Cole stared blankly at Sarah who was gradually going away.

What does it mean to take yourself away...?

When Cole came back to his senses, Sarah's figure had disappeared into the dense forest.

But Cole didn't realize that there seemed to be a small mark on his brow just now, and then quickly, the mark disappeared like a trap in the flesh.

The rotten leaves on the ground became softer and softer, and the surrounding air became disgusting. Sarah stepped forward a few steps, stood in front of the damp swamp, suddenly squinted her eyes, and said with a sneer, "I've been following you since just now." What is the purpose of my journey?"

As soon as the words fell, an orc figure suddenly appeared on the big tree by the swamp, and the expressionless orc with cold eyes was Tyson.

After talking to Cole that day, Tyson was a little concerned about this so-called "bard" female, so he went to explore the cave again, and it turned out that he found a mountain of beast corpses piled up behind the cave. After investigation, those beasts They were all sucked dry by the bloody bees and died.

bloody bee...

Since the body has a front and a back, it is impossible for the female to live safely in the territory with the bloody bee, but she disappeared. Tyson couldn't help guessing whether the female Cole was talking about was related to the bloody bee, or... the name The female is the master of the bloody bee.

That's a terrible conjecture, but not impossible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help becoming nervous, thinking that Cole had met that female before, and under consideration, he had been secretly following Cole for the past few days, observing and protecting him in the dark, but he didn't expect to actually meet that female today. female.

Tyson could smell the stench of the female from a distance, and Tyson couldn't help frowning, but the female didn't seem to have any intention of killing Cole, but just as soon as he relaxed, he heard what he said to Cole... he Even take Cole!Tyson came out to stop him almost impatiently, but fortunately Cole refused him and didn't go with him, but...the female actually gave Cole a partner's mark before leaving!

Isn't this a courtship mark unique to males?Why can that female also leave a mark, and the target is Cole...

Dissatisfied and confused, he followed the female and came to the death swamp.

"You spotted me a long time ago." Tyson frowned, staring at the female in front of him.

Sara raised her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth gently, and said with a sneer, "Because the smell of orcs is so stinky, how could it be impossible to find out? After all, what I hate the most is orcs!"

Frowning deeper, Tyson ignored the chill in Sara's eyes, got straight to the point, and asked a little angrily: "Why did you leave that kind of mark on Cole? That's a mark that can only be left by males. How do you Can you stay too?"

"Humph," Sara looked at Tyson with a snort, raised her eyebrows, and said contemptuously, "Because Cole is my female, are you satisfied with this answer?"

"you!"

"However, as for why I can leave a mark..." Sara's smile grew wider, and then she suddenly opened her cloak and let out a sinister laugh, "I'm not interested in telling the dead."

"Varied……"

In an instant, a large swarm of bloody bees appeared from nowhere and attacked Tyson overwhelmingly!

And at this moment, Tyson suddenly saw that the female... had a pair of animal ears on her head? !

This is what it is! ?
