non 'typical' big cats

The next day I woke up because of the phone ringing. I didn’t open my eyes immediately when I heard the movement in the next bed. I didn’t sit up until I heard Illumi closing the door with his phone. He didn’t deliberately lower his voice. The voice, the content of the conversation is also very concise... But I guess it should be a call from a family member.

Sitting on the bed, I wondered silently in a daze, is he always like this, even if his hands are stained with other people's blood, he can still face anyone openly, compared to him... I am so ugly.My eyes couldn't help but move to the broken glass window that was shaken by the wind and sand, I held my heart and felt the throbbing that I had never felt before...finally made up my mind.

Illumi felt something was wrong the moment he hung up the phone, he quickly kicked open the door but it was too late... What awaited him was an empty room.The case of the mobile phone was instantly crushed due to excessive force. He walked to the window and looked at the deserted street outside... Expectation, disappointment, sadness and a little bit of heartache were all mixed together, making this person who had always been faceless. The man with the expression suddenly shattered all the glass windows of the whole building because of the momentary instability of his thoughts!

The sharp shards of glass pierced Illumi's handsome side face with the backflow of the airflow. He half-closed his eyes as if he didn't notice it, only the black thoughts that kept surging around him pressed against his extremely ostentatious face. presence.

After a long time, Illumi went downstairs to check out. The proprietress at the front desk was devastated by the inexplicable shattering of the glass. She was just about to chat with the handsome guy, but she didn't expect to see his gloomy face when she looked up.On the surface, although he still looks expressionless as usual, but just one glance made the proprietress close the mouth she was about to open.Watching Illumi pay the money and walk away, the proprietress patted her towering chest with some lingering fear, and then impatiently took out a cigarette from the table and bit it into her mouth.

After taking a deep breath, she exhaled a beautiful white smoke ring. She blinked her slightly aged and dry eyes, and sighed like a mockery.

"...man..."

December 1998, Whale Island.

"Hmm... I don't want to get up." I lazily hugged the pillow and turned over on the bed. I opened my eyes and saw myself in the opposite mirror. My height and face remained the same, only my white hair turned black... Rubbing my temples irritably, I sat up abruptly, and after I relieved the discomfort caused by the low blood pressure, I suddenly thought that today seems to be the day that little guy said he was going to catch the owner of the swamp...

I looked at the sun hanging high outside the window, wondering if it was still too late for me to rush there.After hastily changing my clothes and washing my clothes, I ran outside, instead of taking the main road, I chose to cross the nearest path, stepping on the thick and intertwined roots, and jumped up to the highest hanging branch with ease. Yeah... I just saw the motionless, staring figure of the black-haired boy in the green straw hat and dressed like a little frog.

"Xiaojie, I've caught you." I put a hand on the back of the boy's neck, and I could easily break his neck with a little more force. No matter how strong the nerves are, someone else would not be able to completely grasp the vitals He looked so defenseless in the hands of others, only this little guy was different from others.

"Sister Xi Luo, good morning!" The boy who turned around smiled brightly, and the feeling of being trusted from the bottom of my heart made me feel uncomfortable no matter how long it took.

"...Good morning, Xiaojie." I reached out and rubbed my tangled black hair and sat beside him, holding my chin and watching him staring intently at the fishing rod below, and I asked.

"How is the battle going? Are you sure?" The little guy came over suddenly a few days ago and told me that he was going to catch the owner of this swamp. The reason was to get his Aunt Mit to agree to let him take the hunter exam next year, because This guy's eyes were too shining at the time, and I agreed to accompany him because of my bad intentions, so there was this scene today.

"I will definitely catch it." The big brown eyes were clear and bright. I watched this young man fall into silence again, and I couldn't help but recall the scene when we first met...

At that time, after I was tired of playing transformation games, I decided to simply find a remote place to live a period of isolation from the world, so I came to this small island in the sea called Whale Island.As I don’t like crowds, I didn’t choose the hotel to stay at the first time, but came to the dense jungle on the mountain. It is said that there are many rare monsters that cannot be seen outside. I was thinking about whether to catch one to raise and play. While playing, I heard a hoarse howl not far away.

When I rushed over, I happened to see a three-headed little boy who was frightened by a huge beast in front of him and was about to die at the claws of the latter... When I was still hesitating whether to make a move, I didn't know where to come from A man with long gray hair and a hat sprang out. He wounded the beast with a sword and rescued the little boy.

Since someone made a move, I didn't want to meddle in my own business, but the man's reprimand to the little boy made me stop leaving.When it comes to the ability to hide, except for some people, I am still quite confident, so when I suddenly appeared in front of them and pointed my finger at the still-dead beast, both of them looked surprised. with me.

"Hey, do you want me to help you?" I looked up and down the gray-haired man, couldn't help but compare him with another man in my heart, and then looked at his seemingly older man with a little disgust. I also have a thin waist and legs.

"No need." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly dealt with the precious monster named fox bear, and then watched silently as the little boy who had been frightened before stubbornly and awkwardly hugged the little fox behind the mother fox bear tightly. Fox bear refused to let go.

After a while, the little boy finally calmed down the little animal who was so angry because of his mother's death. He started digging holes in the ground with scratches all over his body. I looked at the huge corpse next to him and instantly understood what he was thinking. , but just such a little guy with thin arms and legs... maybe he can't do it all night, right?Having nothing to do, I felt good today after listening to the gossip between the child and that man, so I squatted next to the child and poked him and said.

"Do you want me to help you? I'll fix it soon." The gray-haired man sat across from him with his arms folded. When he saw me approaching, he just glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"...No, no, thank you." The little boy wiped away his tears, then stubbornly continued to dig the soil with the sword that the man lent him.

I watched him grit his teeth and work hard, and then looked at the little fox bear who was not far away from him with bared teeth and refused to approach but did not run away. The interest that had not been aroused for a long time made me stay and watch him dig. He dug the hole for a whole night, and it was not until the next morning that he was out of breath and completely dug the hole, but he no longer had the strength to push the beast into it.

I stretched my arms and legs, then walked to the side and kicked the female fox and bear weighing a thousand kilograms into the hole, then quickly piled up all the soil that was turned over, clapped my hands, walked to the boy and hooked it with my index finger Putting his chin close to him on purpose and winking slightly, he said.

"What a stubborn little guy, what's your name?"

"...My name is Jay Fulishi." The little guy looked at me blankly, which is really cute, but I don't plan to continue teasing him.I straightened up and glanced at the gray-haired man in front of me who was staring at me with warning eyes. I stroked Xiaojie's prickly black hair and said to him with a smile.

"My name is Shiro."

This is how Xiaojie and I got acquainted. Later, when he often came to play with me and pestered me to exercise his physical fitness, I also learned about his family. For example, he admires him very much but is emotionally comparable to Uncle Kim who is a scumbag, Aunt Mit who is as gentle and kind as his mother but too weak, and the gray-haired man named Kate who suddenly appeared is his father's apprentice...

After I was dazed, Xiaojie made progress. I saw him tightening the fishing rod and suddenly got up, then jumped off the tree trunk and rushed down, and then jumped on a higher branch again, using the traction force Continually compete with the monsters in the lake.Finally, half an hour later, the big guys in the lake were tired, Xiaojie cheered and yelled, and caught the owner of the swamp in this way.

"Sister Xi Luo! I did it!" I patted him on the back with such a soft pounce on him, and I seldom acted like a baby with me since this kid started growing rapidly. The body is only 7 years older than him, but actually I am already older than Mitt.

"I'm going to tell Aunt Mitt—!!" Watching Xiaojie run away happily, I walked to the bank of the river and looked at this huge and unknown creature. Dark purple skin... Evil, only Xiaojie with a super thick nerve would think this guy is an 'friendly' swamp master.

a month later—

"Aunt Mitt, I will come back after I pass the hunter's license test, don't worry." Xiaojie stood at the door of the house, and Mitt reluctantly held his hands and chanted endlessly. I was so bored waiting by the side. He picked his ears with his fingers.

"Besides, Sister Hero is still there~" Xiaojie heartily rubbed the back of his head and laughed, but I received extra attention from Mitt because of lying on the gun for no reason.

"Hero, Xiaojie... I will trouble you." Although there was still some uncertainty in her tone, Mitt obviously had nothing to do with Xiaojie who had already become self-reliant. She could only watch us both with reluctance and worry. One to leave, oh of course, only Xiaojie is the one she is reluctant to part with, as for me... Maybe she wants me to leave early.

"It's really great that Sister Xi Luo can take the exam together." There were many people who saw Xiaojie off on the way to the pier, which shows that this child has been a likable temperament since he was a child.

"Whether I participate or not will have no effect on Xiaojie." Anyway, you are going to find your father, I thought to myself.

"No! Sister is a good person!" His shining eyes made my eyes turn white. Sure enough, I am still not good at dealing with this type of child... In order to divert his attention from being too focused on me, I suggested to him to go to the pier Visit the nearby circus, anyway, there is still some time before the boat sails.

"Yeah!" He happily agreed, and I smiled and followed him, looking at his short back, suddenly a strange scene flashed in my memory for a second...

"Don't die before I come back." The childish and deep voice echoed in my ears, and I felt dizzy for a moment, but everything disappeared in an instant, like a hallucination.

"Sister Xi Luo——!!" Xiaojie stood at the entrance and called my name. I looked back at the large passenger ship parked at the pier not far away, then turned around and walked in behind Xiaojie.
