[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

No one wanted to go out in the afternoon, Kuroro was sitting on the wicker chair under his window reading a book, and Feitan and I were lying head to head on the counter to read.The sun shines in through the vermilion window lattice, and the not very bright light falls on the shelves covered with a thin layer of dust. The grocery store is full of leisure and leisure.

"Ocean...well, sky, land..." I pointed to the colorful cartoons on the children's literacy booklet spread out on the counter, and read the words printed on it to Feitan.

"Ocean. Sky. Land." Feitan read after me. "What is the ocean?"

"The ocean is... the opposite of the land." I looked at the blue wavy lines on the cartoon, my eyes flicked around, and I said in confusion: "Well, that's right, it's a place full of water. It's a huge area without land. It's all water... blue, salty water."

"What is that?" Fei Tan couldn't understand.

"Speaking of which, one side of Meteor Street faces the sea." Kuroro suddenly raised his head from the book and said, "I heard that the sixth district is a long coastline, and the entire coastal part is the sixth district."

"District [-]? Is it adjacent to District [-]?" I asked.

"Probably." Kuroro said.

"When will you go and see it?" Feitan was very interested in the ocean that he had never seen before.

"That will have to wait for us to get stronger." Kuroro said, also very interested, "I heard in the special commodity area that the sixth district is a place where masters live, and there are many old monsters."

"Oh—" Fei Tan became more interested.He raised his head, his golden eyes were shining brightly, I bet he has completely memorized the Sixth District now, and he will go to see it sooner or later, when he feels that he is strong enough to overthrow those old monsters.

"Uh huh!" I cleared my throat, brought his attention back, turned to the next page of the literacy manual, pointed to the words on it and read: "Next group. Bicycles, cars... airships?"

I volunteered to snatch the job of teaching Feitan to read from Kurolo.Although I learned common characters with Kuroro when I was in District [-], I thought it would be good to review them while teaching Feitan.And when I was learning to read, I was despised by Kuroro in various ways. Now it is me who teaches Feitan, and it is very touching to turn over and become the master.

But I forgot, I am not Kuroro, Feitan is not me...ORZ.

When Kurollo taught me back then, he was really patient. Although he needed to run around from time to time to calm down and come back, he could wait for me to read slowly for an afternoon in front of a literacy manual, over and over again. again.If I were to teach...I wanted to give up after two hours of teaching: childish literacy manuals, exaggerated cartoons, simple words...it really makes people crazy.

But fortunately, every time Feitan ran away impatiently, it was a second before I couldn't hold on.

To be honest, Feitan's patience is worse than mine—literacy is more boring than teaching others to read, and those ghost-like lingua francas can drive people crazy, so much so that now this literacy manual has been changed for several months. This is the tenth book that has been lost, all the previous ones were cut into pieces by Fei Tan violently with his sword, and buried in the backyard.

However, we have been able to persist in teaching one by one until now, thanks to Feitan, although he can't learn for a while every day, his memory is quite good and his literacy efficiency is very high.

Sometimes I can't help but think while teaching, fortunately Kuroro didn't teach Feitan, otherwise he found out that this guy remembered faster than me, how embarrassing it would be!But fortunately, Kuroro had had enough of teaching me how to read and write. When he heard that I was willing to do it for him, he immediately spread his hands and ran to the side to look at his tome.Although he pretended to be concentrating on reading, I still read his little thoughts—wasn’t it because I was afraid that I would not be able to hold on to the heat for 3 minutes, so I would push it back to him.

...a good guess.

Never let him be proud!Don't try to laugh at me!

"—Fetan! Hold on!"

I reached out to pull Fei Tan, who had jumped off the bench next to him and was about to leave today's class, but he dodged reflexively, and I slapped the counter behind and shouted: "Let's study for a while! It's less than an hour away." ..."

"I'll learn it tomorrow." Fei Tan stopped and said without looking back.

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows!" I shook my head sadly.

"...I don't understand what you're talking about." Fei Tan said lazily, but in the end he turned around and stood back on the bench, looking down at the hateful literacy manual, frowning, with a very unhappy expression , as if I really want to tear this book into pieces.

He had just had his hair cut. Although the half-length blue hair hanging down his cheeks was beautiful, it was always a bit gloomy. Now his hair has been cut short and fluffy, revealing his entire side face. His facial features are very delicate. With those golden eyes, even if he made a vicious look, he looked like a tantrum brat, and it had no deterrent effect at all.

"Come on, come on, persistence is victory!" I hit the iron while the iron was hot, and leaned side by side with him above the literacy manual, and continued to point to the childish cartoons and read: "apples, bananas, oranges..."

"Apple...banana...orange..."

"Kurolo! I'm here to play with you!" A delicate and clear voice came into the store from a long distance away.

I looked up and saw a trace of impatience flash across Kuroro's raised face.The corners of my raised mouth subconsciously flattened.

A little girl in a red lace dress appeared bouncing outside the door.She stepped on the threshold and ran in hastily, and saw Kuroro sitting under the window, with a bright smile on his face without a trace of haze, and rushed forward.

Kuroro had already stood up, holding the little girl's shoulders with both hands to help her stand firmly, and said, "Ladies shouldn't run and jump, Angelica." Although he said reproachful words, his face was gentle and gentle. There was no harshness in the doting smile.

"Got it, Kuroro. You are just as talkative as your father." Angelica obviously felt Kuroro's gentle attitude, stuck out her tongue indifferently, pulled his arm and shook it, and said coquettishly.

"Haha, baby Angelica, daddy is doing it for your own good." A deep and deep voice said.

The tall figure of the street leader, Chong An, appeared in the grocery store following the little girl in the red dress. His serious and expressionless face always had a soft and messy smile when facing Angelica.

"Kurolo is right. Ladies should not run and jump, or they will fall easily, my little princess." He looked down at his daughter and said dotingly.

"Understood, Dad." Angelica pursed her lips, turned her head away from Hammer An, her delicate and lovely face like a doll was wrinkled into a ball, which was loved from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't bear to be harsh.

Five-year-old Angelica is the daughter of Hammer Ann, the mayor of the grocery district. She lives a carefree life under the protection of her powerful father.With curly brown hair and big blue eyes that look like lake water, the much-loved, pretty and willful little girl has always been a combination of an angel and a devil.

Not long after we paid the first dues, Hammer brought Angelica to our grocery store. According to Angelica, she heard that the new owner of the grocery store is three people who are about her age. The child was clamoring to come and see, but Chuan couldn't resist her and had to bring her here.

The grocery store didn't have much business at first, and the three of us were hanging around in the store that day.With Chuan looking at the side like a door god, we had no choice but to get out from behind the counter and get up from the wicker chairs, and play with the curious little princess with star-like eyes for a while.

Angelica was wearing a pink and yellow dress that day, which was also brand new and clean. Her neatly combed curly hair hung over her shoulders, and she wore a big hairpin with a bow on her head. resident.

There is only a childlike innocence in her eyes as clear as lake water, and she looked around the grocery store in novelty, instructing her father to sort out the items on the shelves one by one as if we, the store owners, did not exist. After taking it down for a look, and then throwing it away in disgust, we spent the whole afternoon playing with her... playing house.

I don't know if girls of this age should like to play house, anyway, I never thought about it before.Pulling Kuroro's wicker chair to the open space in the middle of the shop, Angelica happily sat on it dangling her little feet in small leather shoes, pointing and arranging roles for the three of us standing in front of her.

"Well, let's play as a family. Kurolo is the father and I am the mother! Fei... Feitan is the child." Angelica giggled, probably because she had never played with her peers before. Excitedly straightened his back, his cheeks flushed.She likes Kuroro very much, and has been holding him tight since just now, and Kuroro has no choice but to follow her because of Chuan's face.

Feitan has a dull temper, unlike Kuroro who would show a gentle smile of entertainment, lower his head and talk patiently with the little girl, so the little girl didn't get too close to him.But taking advantage of his looks, he was also given the role of a son.

As for me, I am speechless. As the only girl besides Angelica, I seem to be disliked by the eldest lady, so that...

"Your name is Lydia, right? Um...you can be a pet." When Angelica pointed to me, she thought about it in distress, and finally gave me such a role reluctantly, "You are a golden retriever! Will you bark?"

She raised her small face, looked at me sideways with her big blue eyes, and pouted her mouth. She looked so cute, as if she was worried that I couldn't even play a dog well...

I twitched the corner of my mouth, and subconsciously glanced at Hammer standing by the window. He was leaning against the window with his arms around him and watching us play games with Angelica, and his eyes were gentle as he looked at his daughter.Feeling my gaze, his gaze swept over, and his gentle gaze instantly became cold and severe...

"Come on." I turned my head and gave Angelica a big smile, and said briefly.Although after experiencing so many things, I don't care much about the special voice, but I still habitually speak less and try not to speak in front of outsiders.

"Dog! Bring back the stick!" Angelica took a twig from the shelf and threw it in front of me, asking me to pick it up with a domineering voice.

If you want to say that the little girl humiliated people deliberately, look at her pure and clear eyes, you really don't mean that.But if a bear child of this age is not sensible, he will hurt people very much, and it will be annoying if he doesn't hurt others, especially when there is a bear parent who is helping the tiger by his side.

I reluctantly ran to the back of the shelf to pick up twigs, and made a big grimace while bending down.

"Here." He reached out and handed the branch to Angelica who was sitting on the wicker chair.

"Ah!" She screamed suddenly, slapped off the twig, and shrank back in horror.

"What's the matter? Angelica?" Hammer appeared next to her almost immediately, his eyes as cold as a knife scraped across my face fiercely.I guess if I hadn't obviously had any contact with the eldest lady, and the weak chicken who couldn't read at first glance, would have been broken and thrown out by now.

"Her hand—" Angelica pointed at my outstretched right hand with evasive eyes.The right hand became the focus of sight for a moment, and the hideous scars left by Robin's skinning all over the back of the hand were impressive. The twisted and twisted skin was indeed terrifying.

"It's okay baby, that's the original scar, and it's healed now." Hammer glanced at me, turned his head nonchalantly, and comforted Angelica, who had never seen such a scar before, "Don't be afraid, my dear dad, there is no scar. People can hurt you like this. If you don't like to see it, just let her go away, don't be sad, baby."

"Father, it's disgusting!" Angelica turned her head and took her father's big hand to act like a spoiled child. "Do you remember the last time you saw that..."

I pouted, retracted my right hand and walked away.

"Lydia."

While Angelica's father and daughter were in touch, Kuroro, who had been entangled all this time, got away, pulled me to hug me, and kissed me comfortingly on my forehead, staring at me closely with her dark round eyes. Looking at me, he said again in a voice that was not enough to attract the attention of the other side: "Lydia."

"Shh, it's such a small thing." I winked at him, then leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and hugged him hard.

"Krollo, come quickly—" Angelica called out in a coquettishly elongated voice.

I leaned against the counter and watched Angelica holding Kuroro's arm in various ways, while instructing Feitan to do this and that from time to time.Feitan was always depressed, with a slumped face and no words. Angelica said to Kurolo in a drawn out voice, "Look, Kurolo, how stupid our son is, he's not lively at all..."

"Because Angelica is very lively." Kuroro stroked Angelica's lustrous brown curly hair, tilting his head sideways and smiling gently.Feitan turned around and followed Angelica's request to look for the "tableware" she wanted on the shelf, showing a grumpy expression towards the shelf.

"Hey, dog, why don't you bark? It's your turn!" Angelica suddenly yelled coquettishly, why did she think of me again? !I was taken aback by her, and subconsciously went to see Kuroro.

Kuroro also glanced at me, there was no light in his dark eyes.He glanced at me, turned his head to Angelica and said naturally: "Okay, golden retrievers don't like to bark. Don't force her."

There was no anger in his voice, Angelica looked at him with a flat mouth, and wanted to say something, but she really didn't dare to speak.

Kuroro rolled his eyes and smiled, stood beside Angelica with his pockets in his pockets, and said, "Fetan has brought back the plate, let's have dinner quickly."

I looked at his fair face, the upward curve of the corner of his mouth was gentle without a trace of reluctance.

Crowley was angry.

Leaning back to the counter again, I watched Kuroro go around Feitan and calmly deal with Angelika's various house-playing games. Angelica, who smiled like a flower, seemed very satisfied.

I withdrew my gaze as if electrocuted, and there was a kind of cold anger in the drooping eyes.When did I learn to read people's faces?When I first came here it never was.I can't remember who vaguely said in the past that only those who need to see people's faces will look at people's faces.

This is really sad.

"Kurolo, let's go out and play!"

Angelica's elated cheers pulled me from memory to reality.Since the first time, Angelica has always been brought by Hammer to the grocery store to play, mainly looking for Kuroro.In the beginning, he took Feitan and me with him indifferently, but then he simply pretended that the two of us didn't exist, and only took Ku Luoluo out to play with her.

"But I still have to do business." Kuroro spread his hands, with a gentle and helpless smile on his almost translucent white face under the sun.

"Go and play with Angelica." Hammer stood by the door with his elbows folded, and suddenly said, "You guys have no business this month, so you don't have to pay next month's membership fee."

"But..." Kuroro frowned slightly.

"Go, our little princess can't wait." Hammer looked at Angelica who was gently pulling on the sleeve of Kuroro's shirt but did not dare to pull it too hard, her eyes were filled with doting.

"Great Dad! I love you!" Angelica let go of Kuroro's sleeve, ran to Chuan's side, and when he bent down with a smile, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, and then He ran back and pulled Kurolo to run out.

"Kulolo, let's go! The last time I saw a place..."

Kuroro half-heartedly followed her and walked out with her strength. When passing the counter, he glanced at us, and was dragged by Angelica's sleeves and crossed the threshold sideways under Angelica's excited urging voice. .

Hammer shook his head and chuckled and followed them. When he walked out the door, he saw the backs of Angelica and Kuroro who were about to run around the corner and said loudly: "Kuroro, take care of Angelica, don't let her do dangerous things. thing."

"I want to kill Angelica."

Watching Chuan's figure disappear at the corner of the street, I was silent for a while, and said softly to Fei Tan.

Fei Tan propped up the counter with his hands, not surprised when he heard that, he just glanced at me and said, "Then just kill me."

"I'm just talking." I imitated him and supported my body with my arms on the counter, and said listlessly: "We can't beat Hammer."

"Then kill him when you can beat him." Fei Tan said indifferently, without any doubt that sooner or later he would surpass Chuan, who was firmly seated in the eighth district.

"But I think, by then, I won't want to kill Angelica." I imagined and said in frustration.

"……up to you."

Fei Tan turned the literacy handbook in front of him to a new page, "Let's learn to read next."

The author has something to say:

It's the beginning of school, this semester will be very busy, and I really don't have time to code words... and the author is still a lazy procrastinator ORZ

but!Since I published Chapter 1, I never thought about the possibility of abandoning the pit—before procrastination, the author was still obsessive-compulsive!The sense of responsibility forces me to never abandon the pit when there is even one person watching!Please rest assured about this~

Finally, I would like to reiterate that the author will keep updating during the school term, but I probably don’t have much time to do more. It’s basically no problem to keep two updates a week, maybe three updates, or at least one update.Thank you for your support all the time, let us work hard together ~ ok!
