animal ears

? Cole touched Palanch's head, and lowered his eyes gently.

"Tough kid," Cole said.

"It's not a child." Unexpectedly, Palanch raised his head a little unhappily, and pouted, "I've grown up, I'm very strong, and I can catch the most ferocious beasts by myself."

"Say such childish things, how can you not be a child?" Cole smiled and scratched the tip of his nose. Although he was laughing, Cole felt sorry for him who said such words in his heart, so he patted Palanch on the shoulder, "You Give me a hand later, and I'll make something delicious for you to eat."

"Delicious?" When it comes to eating, Palanch's eyes lit up.

"What do you want to eat?" Cole asked amusedly.

"Big round pig." Palanch replied without hesitation, as if he had already thought about it.

Cole shrugged and asked, "Big round pig? Just eat this?"

"Just eat this." Palanch nodded, then clapped his hands, making a gesture to go out. He said, "I'll go out and catch a big one."

Then they went out.

Strange, because Cole likes this too.

It seems that the boy's taste is very similar to his own.

Smiling to himself, he continued to prepare for the fire, but at this moment Bryce walked in and asked, "I see that child hastily left, what's going on?"

"He said to catch the big round pig." Cole replied.

"Big round pig?" Bryce was curious, "There is no need to make any special preparations, the tribe gave me a very delicious piece of animal meat in the morning."

"Parange said he wanted to eat it." Cole smiled, "It looks like he has been hungry for a long time, so cute."

Moving his fingers, Bryce's eyes flashed, and he stopped saying anything, paused, then he turned around and said to Cole, "You like that kid, don't you?"

"Eh?"

Why do you suddenly think so?

"Isn't he always cold," Bryce said, "except for you."

Cole covered his mouth and smiled: "He is actually a very gentle and kind child. He can laugh and act like a baby. I like him very much."

"You said he smiled at you and acted like a baby?!" His tone couldn't help but increase, Bryce looked at Cole with an incredulous look, and then approached and asked, "You two knew each other before?"

"I don't know." Cole shook his head, "I've only seen it a few times."

"Then he..." Choking his voice, Bryce stroked his chin, showing distress, puzzled.

His expression surprised Cole, and Cole asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course not." Putting down his hands and sighing, Bryce shook his head and said, "I'm surprised because that child...he has suffered a lot since he was a child, and for his parents, he always suffers, even if He was bullied and worked hard. He was a very kind child... until the year his mother and father died, he changed completely and became very violent. Once he got into a fight with someone and almost killed him , the village couldn't tolerate him even more, he got angry and ran into the woods, he was less than ten years old at that time..."

There was a touch of helplessness between the words, and Bryce's eyes dimmed slightly.

"A child under ten years old, no matter how powerful he is, is no match for a forest full of wild beasts. Without the protection of the tribe, he will surely die." Bryce sighed softly, "He was sent by Siegel on the first day. Here I am, I was bitten by a big hole in my stomach, and kept bleeding, the pain was so painful that he almost died several times."

Looking back on the past, it is still vivid.

"After he recovered from the injury, he was as thin as a grass and kept silent. Then one day, he ran out suddenly. When I found him, he was lying on the ground, crying into tears." Bran S said.

"Why." Cole looked up in surprise.

"I asked too." Still shaking his head, "He didn't say anything, he just kept crying."

Palanch... crying?

Thinking of this, Cole couldn't help but think back to him who gave him flowers in the dark when they met for the second time.

At that time, those silver pupils were filled with gentle tears.

"Later...he stopped crying and laughing, and his whole body was like the snow on the top of the mountain, cold, as if he had no consciousness or emotion. After recovering from his injuries, because the villagers still treated him There are prejudices, so Sarah made him a slave to protect herself, and deprived him of his name, and let him live like an invisible man, and he didn't refuse..." After saying these words, Bryce turned to Cole was stunned, "But he would actually smile at you and show his true nature to you."

Then he patted Cole on the shoulder, and Bryce continued to say with a half-smile: "If you don't like Sarah, it's good to be with that child then."

Hearing this, Cole immediately blushed.

At first, I was quite upset, but what Bryce said in the end was so weird.

"Bryce, this, are you misunderstanding something?"

This likes not the other likes ah.

"Misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand? You said that the kid is good, and I think he is good too. Hey, you Zumu has a good eye. He is honest and beautiful. Look..." Raising eyebrows, Bryce came up Teasing Cole, the corners of his mouth were raised and he smiled happily.

What am I looking at?

Cole was sweating.

"Uh, I actually..."

"I know you don't like Sarah, but he is the patriarch, so you don't want to blatantly step on two boats to find a female. That child rarely appears in front of people. No one can see him except Sarah. The most important thing is Yes, I think that kid likes you too, I think...it's not bad, not bad." After saying several good things, Bryce nodded seriously, "Well, let's do this, wait for Xiaobai, no , when Palanch comes back, I'll ask him."

Is this a self-assessed decision? !

Seeing that he was about to leave, Cole hurriedly stopped Bryce, shook his head violently and said, "Zum, I actually... have someone I like!"

"What?!" Bryce was very surprised. He turned around suddenly, looked at Cole, and then asked with a sullen face, "You won't tell me that you actually like Sarah's old and wicked female?"

Old... bad-hearted?

Cole twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Bryce who spoke naturally, and suddenly felt admiration.

After a while, Cole shook his head: "No, not Sarah."

"That's...?" Bryce opened his eyes wide, and approached curiously, asking in a low voice, as if afraid that others would hear.

Cole shrugged and said, "He's an outsider."

"Outside? Why didn't you bring him back?" Bryce frowned, with a sense of blame, "Since there is someone you like, you should bring him back!"

After thinking about it, he asked cautiously, "Could it be because of Sarah..."

Shaking his head, Cole smiled bitterly: "No."

"What the hell is going on?! Ask me, are you trying to kill me?!" Bryce became irritable, grabbed Cole's hand tightly, and shouted, "You stink like Adoma! The boy is exactly the same! I am so mad!"

Looking at the furious Zum, Cole patted the back of his hand lightly, and then told what happened before.

In fact, it was only a brief introduction, but Bryce listened very carefully. After Cole finished speaking, he looked serious, hugged Cole's shoulders, and asked with concern: "That Ley...is he pretty?" ?”

"Eh?"

So Bryce's focus is not on Ley's gentle character, or his deep friendship, or how he will go out to save people in the future, but...is he pretty?

"I asked you if he is pretty!" Seeing that Cole was in a daze and hesitated to answer, Bryce pinched Cole.

Feeling the pain, Cole came back to his senses and nodded.

"Prettier than Sara?" he asked again, pinching again as he went.

Continuing to suffer from the pain, Cole said with a bitter face, "Zum, you pinched me so much."

Only then did he realize that he had inadvertently made a move, Bryce let go suddenly, then touched Cole's arm that was twisted red, and smiled: "Aren't I excited... It's an old problem, you have to be considerate of the old man, I But you Zum..."

This is called relying on the old to sell the old, Cole smiled wryly.

"Zum doesn't like that he's an orc?"

Hearing this, while rubbing for Cole, Bryce bent his lips and said, "Who says he doesn't like it? As long as you like it, you can do anything! As long as he is not the kind of orc with strong muscles and black and not slipping away, you can bring him back go home!"

"Rye is very beautiful." Cole said seriously, and then couldn't help asking, "Zum doesn't like muscular orcs? Then I..."

He is muscular, and Cole looked at Bryce with a sense of crisis.

Bryce patted Cole's arm violently, and Bryce pouted and said, "Those are muscular, simple-minded guys, just like your late grandfather. Slapstick tricks forced me to become a female... Hmph, it made me think about it all the time. Although your father is very beautiful, his heart is too bad. It is rare for you to become an orc this time. I will find you a beautiful, virtuous and honest man no matter what. Yes, it doesn’t matter if it’s a beastman or a female, as long as it’s beautiful, it’s enough to fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years!”

"Uh..." There was a lot of resentment.

"It's okay to find a few more, stay at home and enjoy yourself~" Bryce smiled, shaking his ears, and didn't feel that he was teaching his grandson badly.

Cole became even more speechless and wanted to refute, but facing such an appearance-oriented Zum, it was better to think about it.

While talking, Palanch came back, sweating profusely, carrying a big round pig on his back. Seeing the two talking, he said, "I'm going to bleed."

Then Bryce looked serious, coughed twice, and said, "I'll go out to get herbs, and you cook."

Cole, who was finally free, took a breath and continued to prepare.It was dusk when the meal was ready, and the three of them sat at the table, which was quite quiet at first, but for some reason, Bryce suddenly turned his head and asked Palanch, "Is the food to your liking?"

"It's delicious." With a sideways glance at Cole, Palanch said.

"I said, Palanch, are you planning to stay in the village in the future?" Bryce asked again intentionally or unintentionally.

Palanch's face turned red for some reason, he put down the meat in his hand, then glanced at Cole, and nodded.

"It's okay to come and sit often, we are a family." Bryce raised his eyebrows again and said.

Palanch blushed even more, and replied, "Yes."

eerie vibe.

Cole looked at the two curiously, didn't say anything, continued to eat, and after dinner, it was getting dark, and Bryce saw that Palanch was leaving, so he pointed to Cole and said, "Send it off. "

"Hmm." Cole didn't think there was anything strange, so he stood up and patted Palanch on the shoulder, but Palanch jumped to the door like a frightened bird, blushing, and said embarrassingly: "I, I... I'll go by myself."

Today's Palanch is very strange.

"Let him send you off, and talk or something by the way." Bryce finished, and then stared at Cole fiercely, with an expression of "you don't want to send him to try."

Knowing that, Cole could only sigh, and turned to Palanch, "Let's go."

Finally Palanch agreed.

The two were walking on the way to the forest. Palanch said that he was living with Sarah now. Thinking of the simple house, Cole asked, "Why does Sarah live there?"

"Because it's the patriarch's home." After thinking for a while, Palanch added, "I lived there when I was a child."

"That's right." Cole replied.

I thought that Sara had been traveling for many years, so it was not impossible to see the scene of "a house with four walls", not to mention that Sara was also single.

However, it was hard for Palanche, he was still young, and he was about to endure this kind of hardship, so Cole looked at him with a softer gaze, and Cole reached out and rubbed Palanche's head, "It's really hard for you .”

Palanch was stunned, trembling all over.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"..." Her lips were trembling.

Isn't this sick?

Cole worriedly grabbed Palanch's hand, it was cold, but his face was flushed, and his originally white face was now like a ripe fruit, Cole quickly pressed his forehead against his, wanting to see if there was any pain. There was no fever, Palanch opened his eyes wide, and his feet were almost numb.

"Your face is very red, do you have a fever?" Cole asked worriedly as he lowered his head after leaving slightly.

Palanch is almost smoking.

"Parange?" Cole moved closer.

Completely frightened, Palanch took a few steps back, bit his mouth and was about to run away, then turned his head and looked at Cole for some reason, and said shyly, "I, I...my...I am willing! "

Then he ran away like flying.

I would?

WTF?

Cole was confused.

Seeing Bryce snickering at home made Cole even more uncomfortable.
