non 'typical' big cats

It is said that the circus is actually a rare animal exhibition, and it is illegal at first glance.Looking around, I regret bringing Xiaojie here. Sure enough, after only a few seconds, Xiaojie attracted the attention of many people.

"It's, it's too dangerous... Get out of there quickly!" A lady who looked like a tour guide watched in horror as Xiaojie walked step by step to the big cage that was said to be one of the most brutal monsters in the world. .

"...It's so pitiful that they locked you up here." Through the iron cage, Xiaojie looked at the huge fox bear with a serious expression on his face. He was so close that if the fox bear was willing to paw, he could to his point.

Looking at Xiaojie's appearance, I knew that he was thinking of his little friend in the forest, Jietai, who just said goodbye to him not long ago.The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the management staff at the rear. A tall, burly man with yellow hair came out from the management room at the back. Seeing Xiaojie approaching privately, he seemed quite displeased. He argued with Xiaojie After a few words, he directly lifted his collar and threw him into the cage where the fox bear was held.After the yellow hair left, I pushed away the noisy crowd around me, went to the cage and squatted down to look at this young man who still did not forget to comfort his "new partner" in prison.

"Xiaojie, do you need me to release you?" As long as he asks, it's not a problem to deal with that yellow-haired man by the way, hunter?Heh... If hunters only have that level, then the so-called license is not worth mentioning.

"No need, Sister Hero, but I have another thing I want you to help with..." Xiaojie let the big fox bear smell his body, and there was no trace of fear in his big amber eyes.

"...What a magical child." After listening to his request, I couldn't help laughing and walked towards the management room at the back. This child always has an involuntary desire to help him, maybe... this is the leader Charm it.

When I walked to the door of the management room, I realized that someone had sneaked into the room first. From the crack of the door, I saw a tall and thin man in a dark blue suit looking for something on the wall with his back to the door. , this person...isn't he the uncle who was so hungry that he squatted on the side of the road and was given an apple by Xiaojie?

At this moment, the yellow-haired man came towards me. I hid in the shadow and continued to observe. After a while, I heard a man's scream from inside. It seems that the uncle's strength is not as weak as imagined...

"My name is Leori, nice to meet you, Xiaojie." This is the first sentence Leori said to Xiaojie when he opened the door of the fox bear cage with the stolen key, although it was not the first time The first time we met, but this time he chose to give his name. After watching them smile at each other and opening all the cages with the key, I stood at the door with my arms folded and yelled loudly.

"Xiaojie, if you don't take the boat, you will sail~"

"Ah——!" This nervous child must have just realized the problem of 'being late', I smiled helplessly and resigned to my fate, and ran out behind the army of monsters, Xiaojie and Leo Li followed closely superior.

The Poseidon, which is waiting to set sail at this moment——

"Captain, it's time." The chief mate's reminder made the old man with a pipe in his mouth respond in a low voice. He looked up at the sky and then looked at the three small dots that were constantly approaching here in the distance.

"Little ones, pack up the things in your hands and set sail——!"

"Oh--!!"

The old red-nosed captain stood leisurely in front of the rudder, humming a song belonging to the man of the sea, and while watching the sail rise, he controlled the rudder and set sail slowly.He glanced at the dozens of candidates on the boat who applied for this year's 287th hunter exam, secretly wondering whether there will be newcomers left to the end this year. As for those who are late, although it is a pity, opportunities are always reserved for those who have Those who prepared, I hope those three people can remember today's lesson.

"Ah! Is it too late?!!" Leo Li rubbed his hair frantically, apparently he couldn't accept watching the Poseidon drive away for a while.

"There is still a chance!" Xiaojie showed a confident smile. He did not stop but accelerated forward. When he was close to the edge of the pier, he yelled "grab me" backwards, and then he swung The fishing rod firmly tied the fishing line to the tallest mast of the Poseidon. At the critical moment, Leo Li hugged his waist and I grabbed Leo Li's ankle. In this way, the three of us The man successfully airborne on the board at the last moment.

"Ah... good, it hurts..." I looked down at Leo Li who fell to the ground in a embarrassed posture beside me, I took back the foot on his head and moved to the side in time, it was not because of this guy She secretly glanced at me obsessively, so she took the opportunity to retaliate, hum.

Xiaojie excitedly ran around the hull, until we had been sailing at sea for several hours, I saw him standing next to the captain looking up at the group of seagulls flying in the sky, then he arched his nose and did He made a sniffing motion and spoke to the captain.

"The storm is coming."

Knowing how sensitive this kid's nose is, I didn't doubt his judgment of the wind direction at all, but I don't need to worry about dealing with the storm at all.Sitting on the ground with his back against the mast, he silently looked at the other reference candidates. Except for that bastard Leorie, everyone else looked normal, except...

"Miss Shiro, I want to be an adult...cough, we can discuss about...oh!" I punched Leorio's wretched face to make him shut up obediently. The outstanding boy walked away.

"Hello." I rarely wore a white dress today, and my long black hair was combed into two loose braids hanging on my chest. I greeted the blond boy in front of me with a smile.He froze for a moment before responding with a reserved and friendly smile.

"Hello."

"Is it okay for you to come out to take the hunter exam by yourself?" I took a closer look at the pattern on his jacket, and reaffirmed my previous judgment that it should be the traditional costume of the Kuruta tribe that has disappeared.

"...Who are you?" His expression changed instantly, and at the same time he took a quick step back to the right side vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not hostile." I stuck out my tongue deliberately pretending to be mischievous, then stood up straight and kept a relatively safe distance from him.

"It's just that I went to look for your clan land out of curiosity, so I recognized you. To be honest, I was surprised to see you." After leaving Meteor Street, I went to pursue legends because of boredom. Among the seven beauties, but because many areas are not open to ordinary civilians, only two were found in the end, one of which is the gathering place of the Luta tribe in the Red Eye Grotto.

"It is said that the environment there is as beautiful as a fairyland, and the Kuluta people are a strong and beautiful people, so I still want to visit after they disappear, but unfortunately nothing is left." The real reason is that the knights I once mentioned the event a few years before I joined the brigade, and complained to me about how Krollo likes the new and dislikes the old.

"Stop talking." The blond boy's expression finally showed a crack, and his endless pain and hatred were hidden in those deep cracks. He closed his eyes tightly and then turned his head, and said to me in an extremely forbearing tone .

"Sorry, I don't want to talk about this, and please don't mention my identity to others." Hearing his childish response, I smiled, and he turned his head again when he heard my laughter. A little more anger.

"I really don't know how you survived until now, or did your family protect you too well before? Let me guess how you escaped that catastrophe..." Just after I mentioned his family The blond boy finally couldn't take it anymore, he pulled out the knife to me and pointed the tip of the knife at my face.

"shut up!"

"Hehe... Do you want to kill me?" The situation here has already attracted the attention of Xiaojie and Leorio in the distance, but at the same time, the hull of the ship began to shake violently due to the sudden onslaught of the storm. Desperately searching for something fixed, only the boy and I were still standing by the side of the boat without moving.

"Have you ever killed someone? Have you realized that you are blood-stained?" I heard obvious sarcasm and ridicule in my voice, and the clean and bright eyes of the blond boy on the opposite side made my heart tingle slightly.

"Shut up! If you can't keep the secret, then I... will definitely kill you." The blond boy's eyes gradually changed from hesitation to determination, and his strength made me feel a little relieved.

"Let's have a fight." I put a bunch of hair on my temples that was wet by the waves behind my ears, and then looked seriously at the boy opposite who was already in an attacking posture.

"Sister Hiro—!!" Not long after the blond boy and I started to fight, Xiaojie and Leorie ran over from the other side against the wind and rain, but the wind was so strong that they had to hold onto the side of the boat to force it out. Move forward.

"Heh!" The young man attacked me with two knives in his hands, chopping, sweeping, hanging, holding... From his sharp and tight moves, we can see the shadow of years of hard work, but it's a pity that these ordinary moves are very difficult for someone who is good at assassination and sneak attack. Still too tender for a good hand.

Using fast movement to dodge to the back, a backhand grab with one joint forced his weapon to fall out of his hand, his hands were restrained, and his back was held up by the opponent's knees, unable to stand up. The young man's pale face was full of humiliation and unwillingness. He stared at him without saying a word, looking for the shadow of another person in his previous life.

After a while, I chose to let go of my hand. Seeing him picking up his weapon and retreating quickly as if he was facing a big enemy, I just slightly hooked the corner of my mouth.

"I won't say it, don't worry." A sense of disappointment welled up in my heart. I knew that none of this was aimed at this innocent boy. I just... still didn't want to wake up from the past, that's all. It's too bad to be angry at others like this.

When I was about to turn around and leave, I happened to see a sailor falling into the water from a high mast, and Xiaojie, who had already walked behind me, rushed forward without the slightest hesitation...

"That idiot!!" Leorio yelled and rushed towards Xiaojie at the same time. To my surprise, the blond boy standing on the side of the boat grabbed Leorio's legs before I did!In this way, the four of them hanged dangerously on the outer edge of the hull at the last second, and the lucky sailor successfully recovered his life.

"Pain, pain! Leori!" After being pulled up, Xiaojie put his head in his hands and looked tearfully at Uncle Leori who was shaking his fist at him. When I was there, I checked their bodies very nervously.

"Tsk, I've never seen such a desperate person like you." Xiaojie obediently listened to Leorio's scolding, and after a while turned his gaze to the blond boy who finally offered a helping hand to them.

"I'm Xiaojie, and Leorie next to me, thank you for saving us in the end, can you tell me your name?" At this time, the blond boy had already taken off his wet coat, and he looked It looks more elegant.

"My name is Kurapika." Kurapika showed a friendly smile to Xiaojie and the others.
