animal ears

?The night sky is cold, and the faintly flickering stars are once again covered by black clouds. The cold wind that crosses the forest gently brushes past the silent black shadow. Those sharp nails exude a vague, bloody smell.

The shriveled corpses of the grunts were all on the ground.

The person who came came smiled coldly, and continued to move forward, approaching the nest of the bloody bee that was knocked down. As soon as the person approached, the bloody bees immediately rushed out of the nest, but instead of attacking, they surrounded him obediently one by one. Beside him, some even quietly parked on his arms, like pets.

The man grinned, with a cold smile in his eyes, he stroked the bloody bee on his hand, and said, "Good boy, you did a good job today."

The melodious voice is frightening.

His fingers continued to caress the bloody bees as if to comfort them, while those beautiful purple eyes stared at the terrifying creature in his hand, but they were so gentle, just like the child he saw today.

Because... Unlike the same kind I have seen before, that child is a purebred.

"I haven't seen a purebred for many years. I thought that the purebred had disappeared without a trace, but unexpectedly, I met it here." He lowered his eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself to the bloody bee in his hand. Said, "This is probably called fate."

Suddenly, he grabbed the bloody bee on his arm and crushed it instantly without hesitation.

"However, since I found it, it's mine, hehehehe..." He smiled wickedly, and bright red blood flowed out from the crushed bloody bee's body, dripping down between his fingers Come, and the other blood bees are not only not angry, but they are excited by the smell of death and blood of the same kind, screaming more cheerfully around this dead body, like a scene like hell.

The silver-haired animal-eared female standing among them smiled charmingly amidst the terrifying buzzing sound, and her purple eyes gleaming with magic looked towards the west—the place of Cole's village.

At the same time, at Cole's house, Norman, who had just been taught by Eli, was taking medicine.

"Oh!" Norman gasped in pain, his body shrank, his ears were wilted, and he withdrew his arm obediently.

Cole on the side knew that Norman was in pain, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Is it very painful? Let me show you, the wound bitten by the grunt beast is very deep, and if you don't apply the medicine properly, your hand will be useless." After speaking, Cole Give Norman a soft blow.

Norman immediately calmed down, rubbed straight over, raised his head and said pitifully, "Hug."

"...?"

Seeing that Cole didn't respond, Norman grabbed Cole's arm and said coquettishly again: "Hug."

Now that Cole understood, he hugged Norman and rubbed his head gently, and Norman, who had succeeded, leaned against Cole with a satisfied look on his face.

Seeing this, Eli, who was administering medicine to Norman, couldn't help but patted his son's head, and said angrily, "Are you still young? Sit by yourself! Don't always cling to Cole!"

Unexpectedly, Norman fell into Cole's arms when he heard this, only his arm was covered with medicine, and his face was covered with an expression of "you can't control it if you stick to it", which almost made Ellie angry again.

Seeing this, Cole quickly smoothed things over and said, "Actually, I also like to hug Norman, it's very warm."

Hearing this, Eli stared helplessly at Cole, who seemed to know nothing, and his son who was shaking his ears triumphantly.

Cole, a silly boy, didn't he notice that kid Norman at all...

However, seeing how close Cole was to his youngest son, Eli couldn't help sighing.

fair enough.

I used to see Cole being bullied all the time, so I wanted Tyson to protect him, but my eldest son didn't seem to care too much, so I had to worry about it myself, but now it's this unsatisfactory young son who clings to Cole. Although not very satisfied, as long as Cole is willing, he will not have any objections.

After taking the medicine, Norman, who turned into a beast, acted like a baby and insisted that Cole coax him to sleep.

Ailei immediately got blue veins in his head and yelled, "Norman, don't push yourself!"

"It's okay, I don't worry about Norman being injured, it's good to accompany him." Cole said with a wry smile.

Cole still speaks for that brat!

Ai Li gritted his teeth even more, although Cole was not his own, but he saw the big one since he was a child!Who would like their little female to be bullied early in the morning?Even if it is his own son who dominates Cole, he is not happy as a parent!

After a stalemate for a long time, Eli was still defeated, so he could only say to Cole, "Call me if you need anything, I'm right outside the door..."

Then he glared at Norman and went out.

Norman doesn't care, Cole is his female, what's wrong with sticking to his female?Besides, Cole likes himself too.

Thinking of Cole's confession before, Norman embarrassedly rubbed back and forth in Cole's arms.

Looking at the furry little tiger writhing in his arms, Cole gently smoothed his fur, then hugged him, and said softly, "Stop making trouble, and sleep obediently."

"Wow~" The little tiger turned his head and licked Cole's hand, then obediently put his head on Cole's lap, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing Norman's cute appearance, Cole continued to rub his head and smiled knowingly.

The next day, Tyson and the hunting team found the corpses of the grunts whose blood had been sucked dry by the blood bees.

While carrying the corpse, Tyson suddenly noticed a footprint on the ground, not Cole or Norman's young footprint, but an adult female's footprint.The footprints were so new that Tyson was amazed, as few females would venture into such a dense forest.

Immediately told the news to the team leader, and everyone started to look for the "lost" female separately, but after searching for a long time to no avail, they asked Tyson to find a cave. Although there was no one in it, there was the female The female smell, in addition to Norman's and Cole's.

Have Norman and Cole seen the female?

With this question in mind, Tyson found Cole after returning to the village.

Cole is sorting out the land that was ruined by the grunts yesterday. Fortunately, the damage is not serious, and some germinated seeds have been rescued. He has been working hard for several hours without a break. Tyson is looking at Cole, who is working hard. , Those piercing ears still made him very uncomfortable, so he hesitated for a moment before walking over.

"Hello." Tyson called to Cole.

"Huh?" He looked up and found that it was Tyson, Cole was taken aback, and stayed where he was.

Tyson actually took the initiative to talk to himself?

After glancing at Cole, Tyson looked flat, and said straight to the point: "I have something to ask you."

"Ask me something?" Cole didn't understand.

Tyson glanced at Tianli Cole indifferently, maybe he didn't want to talk about it here, so he turned around and said, "Come with me."

Cole thought about it and followed.

The two came to the relatively hidden tree behind the field one after another. Tyson then turned around, folded his arms, lowered his head, stared at the short Cole and asked: "Where were you and Norman yesterday?" Did you meet someone in the forest?"

With wide eyes, Cole looked at Tyson in surprise.

How does he know?

Nodding, Cole didn't hide anything, and said, "Yes, I met a bard after Norman and I escaped. His name is Sarah. When we were resting with him, he told us some stories."

"Bard? Tell a story?" Tyson raised his eyebrows.

It's not that I haven't heard of bards. Those poets who have traveled all over the world, they sing the deeds of some celebrities with unique tunes, and also convey some sad stories. Not only that, they will also pass on news from generation to generation. The distant villages also learned about each other's deeds through bards.

It's a pity that Tyson has never met, and he doesn't know what a bard looks like.

Seeing Tyson thinking, Cole asked, "Does Tyson know about him?"

"I found a footprint while collecting the grunt's body."

"Footprints?" Did Sarah also go to the grunt's place?There are bloody bees there!Thinking of this, Cole couldn't help asking nervously, "Is he all right?"

Shaking his head, Tyson said, "No one was found."

Hearing what Tyson said, Cole was somewhat relieved. No one was found, at least it meant that Sarah was not killed by the bloody bee...

"Then do you know where he went?" Tyson continued to ask.

Shaking his head, Cole replied: "He said he traveled around, maybe he's gone."

It was the first time to see Tyson talking to himself so calmly, although Cole was still a little entangled in the fact that he was talking about other females, but it was not that uncomfortable.After he chose not to pester Tyson anymore, Cole felt that his life gradually became brighter and brighter. First, Norman became close to him, and second, no one bullied him blatantly, because he no longer only focused on one person, he Have more time and space to do what you want to do.

Letting go was the right choice.

Breathing out in relief, Cole raised his head and asked Tyson who was much taller than himself: "Tyson has been asking about Sarah, is it because he cares?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because Tyson has been talking about him." Cole smiled slightly.

Tyson lowered his eyes, unexpectedly, he found that Cole's smiling eyes were extremely clear, without any haze or other jealousy.

It seems... not the same as before.

Tyson knew that Cole liked him before, but he just pretended not to know. After all, he had no interest in the female with two animal ears. In addition, his parents always let him protect Cole. The guy with the animal ears thought he would marry him, and kept chasing him, causing his tribe to misunderstand, and others laughed at him all the time because of this, which made him not even want to go home. The more he looked at Cole, the more upset he became.

However, looking at it now, it seems that this is not the case?

Looking down at those clear eyes again, Tyson felt a little relaxed, but felt a strange sense of loss for no reason.

This sense of loss made him want to continue to say something, but at this moment, Norman's voice was heard looking for Cole everywhere in the distance. Tyson turned around without saying a word, left Cole and walked away.

Cole was puzzled.

Just in a daze, after a while, Cole was hugged by the waist, and turning around, Norman, who was shorter than him, was giggling, with a red face, but he rubbed his head against Cole and said loudly: "I can't find it anywhere." You are here!"

Withdrawing the feeling of being confused by Tyson, Cole looked back at Norman, touched his head tenderly, and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you go hunting with Uncle Yitzhak today?"

"We just came back, hehe, I came to look for Cole as soon as I came back!" With a big grin, showing two cute little canine teeth, Norman looked at Cole with his round eyes.When he went out for a day, he was always restless and worried about Cole all the time, but now he came back to see and touch Cole and finally felt relieved.

Smiling, Cole immediately asked, "So what did you gain today?"

"..."

"No?" Provoked Norman deliberately.

Hearing this, Norman pouted immediately, and said unhappily: "Well... I missed it today... I will definitely catch that big round pig and show you next time!"

"Yes, yes, I'll wait." Cole patted Norman's head again, with a doting expression on his face.

Tyson, who hadn't walked far, had a panoramic view of this scene, and the slight disappointment in his chest actually became unpleasant. ?
