365 days of playing the knife

"If you're fine, are you interested in being an examiner?"

After hearing this sentence, Hotaru blinked, but did not answer immediately.

Hotaru has been in this world for a long time, and except for the time spent on the way to the ruins, except for the fan, he is basically lost in the ruins.

And because there is no shortage of money and the preferential treatment of the hunter certificate, Hotaru can eat, drink, live and commute as comfortably as possible on the way to find the ruins.

And because the task could not be completed for the time being, Honosuke also seemed to be worried about the problem of its transmission error at that time.Except for Hotaru who needed its help, it never showed up at other times.

In other words, except for the process of exploring the ruins that does not take up much time (after all, the ruins themselves are not easy to find.).Over the past few years, most of Hotaru's time has been spent like a vacation.

So the final conclusion that can be drawn is that Hotaru has been boring recently.

——After all, troubles and the like don’t happen every day.

So after thinking about it in silence for a while, Hotaru responded, and said to the person on the other side of the phone, "Okay."

------------------

The Hunter Examination is an examination held once a year by the Hunter Association to select hunters.As long as you don't die, you can participate as many times as you want before becoming a hunter.

And every hunter exam, the exam location, examiner and exam content are basically different.

So if you want to pass the exam, apart from your own strength, knowledge, and specialties, you also need to have a certain amount of luck.

Hotaru's luck was very good. If he had not met Xiudi at that time, but had met some kind of music hunter, gourmet hunter, or phantom beast hunter, then Hotaru might not have passed so easily.

It's not that Hotaru can't sing, cook, and hunt, it's just that the questions given by this type of hunter are often very weird.

——However, Hotaru, who rarely interacts with other people, doesn't know about it.

From his point of view, the hunter exam is just a matter of winning, so he didn't think too much about it.Two days later, when Enxi asked him if he had thought about the exam questions, Hotaru said in a natural tone, "As long as we win together, it's all right, it's very simple, right?"

Enxi on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and her words were inexplicably weak, "Are you... sure?"

"Hmm. What's the matter?" Sensing the suspicion in the other party's words, Hotaru asked.

"It's nothing," Enxi muttered to himself, "It seems that there are probably no newcomers this time."

"Are they so weak?" Yingwan also realized Enxi's meaning when she heard this sentence, carefully recalled her own time, and nodded suddenly, "...it seems to be like this."

Hotaru thought for a while, and added uncertainly, "Then...they go together and pass ten tricks under my hand?"

"...Well, as long as you think there is no problem, you are the examiner after all, Xiaoyingwan." Enxi said indifferently, with a tinge of indifference, "Anyway, I can only count it when I meet you. They are unlucky, being a hunter is not so easy."

"Especially, those who are unlucky tend to die sooner."

————————————————————

Ten days before the hunter exam, Hotaru looked at the location Enxi had sent him on his phone, and boarded the airship.

Enxi said that if it wasn't because he had something to do, he would definitely pick up Hotaru himself, and then send him to the test site intact.

——In fact, the examiner actually has the right to choose the test location by himself.

It's just that Enxi knew that Hotaru was not very good at finding the right place, so he often went to unknown places, so he simply helped Hotaru choose a place that was closest to him and was very easy to find as the examination room.

He also told Hotaru the address ten days in advance, and sent it to Hotaru in detail about how to get there.

"I want to get off the airship in Roku City, and then find a blue road sign like this, and walk 50 meters in this direction to see a handmade shop... The photo is here." Hotaru flipped through the information and felt that it was good West is just making a fuss over a molehill.

"I feel like I'm being fooled." Hotaru said this sentence to herself, clicked on the hunter's webpage, and looked at the examiners in front of her.

Although in a sense, the hunter exam is just for the examiners to play, but there are still certain rules.

For example, those who have a better temper and can put some water will be in the front to brush most of the people.In comparison, the more difficult exam questions will be ranked in the back row.

Hotaru didn't know the unspoken rules inside, all he knew was to wait for a hunter to bring the candidates to him.Afterwards, if someone passed the assessment, he only needed to notify the association to pick up the person and go to the next level, and his mission was over.

However, Hotaru is a very serious and responsible person, since he promised, he will do well.The conversation with Enxi made him feel that direct sparring was too untechnical, which made him decide to rethink the exam questions.

Sending a received text message to Enxi, Hotaru looked at the time, holding his own Odachi and decided to close his eyes and take a break.

The airship flew very smoothly, except for some problems unique to high altitudes, Hotaru didn't feel the turbulence.So this time he slept very comfortably.

Watching the airship slowly land, Hotaru looked at the "Roku City" marked on it, jumped off his seat, and walked outside.

This time, Hotaru did not find the wrong way, the kind of map that children can understand, if Hotaru is still lost because of this, it is not just a road idiot.

"Roku City" is very big, and Hotaru noticed it when he was on the airship. The outermost part is surrounded by mountains, and the address that Enxi helped him decide is the forest inside the mountain.

Because there is still plenty of time, after confirming that he can reach the location in the forest in a straight line, Yingmaru confirmed from the website that the exam is not yet his turn, so he decided to buy some special souvenirs for Xiao Jiejie first. .

——Since Xiao Jiejie disappeared from the ruins five years ago, she seems to have really fallen in love with Whale Island as she said. Although she still often calls him to complain about what happened to her, Yingwan can listen When she came out, she really settled down.

In other words, Xiao Jiejie originally lived in a peaceful era. Although she never showed it, in fact she was really not used to this world.

On the contrary, the remote, ordinary and quiet island of Whale Island is more suitable for a little girl like Xiao Jiejie who has never really seen danger face to face.

"Speaking of which, I also want to bring some...milk powder for Xiaojie?" Hotaru thought uncertainly.Two years ago, Xiao Jiejie called him one night with great excitement, saying that she had a son.

At that time, Yingwan was stunned, and asked almost subconsciously, "So, I am a grandfather?"

Xiao Jiejie was taken aback for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and then praised Yingwan's cute reaction.After laughing so hard that Hotaru wanted to slash the knife himself, Xiao Jiejie, who sensed the murderous intent, explained that the child belonged to a relative of Mitt, but that relative was very unreliable, and the child was thrown to Mitt not long after it was born. I don't care about anything.

Mitt said that a child can't do anything without parents, so Xiao Jiejie graciously expressed that she can be Xiaojie—that is, the child's godmother.

Mitte looked at Xiao Jiejie, who was in a girlish posture, but didn't agree.But Xiao Jiejie took care of herself and called herself grandma. ——It’s the same concept as when I called myself Hotaru’s father back then.

So he likes to be the father and now he likes to be the master's Yingwan, so naturally he keeps that child in his heart, and often sends something to him.

It's just that Hotaru doesn't know what to eat for a two-year-old.In the end, it was recommended by the shopping guide, and the expensive ones were sent over.

——Ten days passed quickly, Hotaru sat on a certain big tree in the forest, waiting for the association to send over the candidates who had passed the first two levels.His legs were dangling in the air on the tree, and matched with that face, no matter how cute he looked.

After waiting for about half an hour, Hotaru saw the airship coming from a distance, and the logo of the Hunter Association on the airship was obvious.

Hotaru narrowed his eyes and looked at about 100 people who came out after the airship landed, fixed his eyes on a slightly special person among them, and spoke softly in a voice that he could only hear. "Hey, I'm looking forward to it a little bit."

The task of the airship is to send the candidates, so after confirming that the candidates have all come down, they fly away directly.

Hotaru didn't intend to ask the candidates to wait for him, so before the candidates could speak, Hotaru greeted the following.

With a well-behaved and harmless smile, he jumped from the tall tree, and his feet landed without making a sound.He stood up from the ground, tilted his head towards the dense group of people in front of him, put his right hand on his forehead, and performed a non-standard courtesy, "How are you all?"

Suddenly, there was silence in the crowd, and then there was a loud noise.Hotaru didn't need to listen carefully, he knew what they were talking about.

It's nothing more than underestimating his height!

Hotaru puffed up her face, but she wasn't particularly angry, just a little depressed.And Hotaru is not the kind of person who will hide his little emotions, he will speak out directly when he is unhappy.

So after scanning the candidates present, Hotaru didn't deliberately increase his voice, and his expression didn't change much, he just said ordinary and simply, "I'm going to be angry."

I don't know if I really didn't hear it or pretended I didn't hear it. Someone even raised his voice and said to Yingwan.

"Brat! Don't waste our time! Tell us where the real examiner is!"

The author has something to say: Yingwan, Xidangye.

I caught up with...
