365 days of playing the knife

Someone volunteered to be a mount, of course Hotaru would not refuse, and Wo Jin's movements between jumps were very stable, the only drawback was probably that the shoulders were too hard, and sitting was a bit uncomfortable.

The ruins of Ai should be far away, and this rainforest is very large. Hotaru is not very clear about this concept.But at least he knows that the scenery he sees now is completely different from what he saw in the first half month.

As the sky gradually darkened, Hotaru sat on Wo Jin's shoulder, looking at the increasingly quiet environment, Kuroro, who was at the front, waved his hand, and everyone stopped in a tacit understanding. Take a short rest in an open place.

Sure enough, something is not quite right.Yingwan jumped off Wo Jin's shoulder, thinking in her heart.When he walked alone, he met many small animals.We must know that forests, oceans, and deserts are often the most difficult places for human beings to control and belong to unknown territories.

——This forest is also very, very large, and there probably isn't any particularly detailed information on the hunter website.And now they have encountered nothing, this is the most abnormal place.

The animals and plants he encountered in the periphery were not very powerful, so in contrast, how could there be nothing inside the resource-rich Yuli?

The most likely reason is that the center of the rainforest is the territory of a powerful beast, and they have not encountered other animals that are afraid of this powerful creature for so long.

...Ah, it is not that there are no other animals.Hotaru looked at the little glowing firefly resting on his finger, and showed a cute smile.

"Are you worried about me?" Hotaru moved his finger lightly, and the little creature that was staying slowly swayed around him twice, but did not intend to leave.

Hotaru, whose favorability with fireflies has always been max, looked at the little fluorescent light, and seemed to realize something suddenly, "Where do you want to take me?"

The firefly flew up and down twice, as if nodding.

Hotaru didn't deliberately talk to other people, even except for Kuroro and Nobunaga Ojin... Oh, there is also a knight, and Hotaru doesn't even know the names of these people.So the sitting position is relatively far away now-not only guarding him from the opposite side, but also guarding against other people except Nobunaga Wo Jin.

"Where are you going?" Looking at Hotaru who got up and wanted to leave, Nobunaga, who was sitting on the side and was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

"There's something wrong." Hotaru turned her head, her eyes, which were originally glowing green at night, were even brighter under the backdrop of the small fireflies.

"Tsk," Nobunaga scratched his hair, got up and made a gesture with Kuroro, and the moment he nodded, he walked behind Hotaru. "I will go with you."

"Huh? Are you worried that I will do bad things to you?" Hotaru raised her head and said.

Nobunaga rolled his eyes, "Are you sure you can come back by yourself?"

"...It's too much." Yingwan immediately looked away depressed, "You are too, and so is Wojin."

When Hotaru and Nobunaga were gone, except for the chivalrous man who came to Wo Jin on his own initiative.The others were still doing their own thing, and they didn't seem to take Hotaru seriously at all.

"Wo Jin, how do you feel when you meet a "companion" you haven't seen for so many years? "The knight asked with a smile.

Everyone in the brigade saw the reaction of Wojin and Nobunaga.Although they have never heard them talk about each other, it is impossible for them to have such a strong trust in other people in the outside world after they have just left Meteor Street for two years.

——Yes, it is trust.

It doesn't matter whether Wo Jin put the opponent on his shoulder so close to the neck, or Nobunaga took the initiative to follow the opponent now.It's all obvious trust in Hotaru.

The former is easy to explain, while the latter can be regarded as a guarantee.Nobunaga is assuring them that Hotaru, who left suddenly, will not do anything that threatens them.If there is, then Nobunaga will eradicate the threat to the brigade himself.

"Hahahahaha!" Wo Jin's smile has always been relatively wild, he naturally knew that the knight was talking to him, but he didn't mind it, and sat cross-legged in a tone similar to usual, "Do you want to know How did we meet?"

Under the moonlight blocked by leaves, Wojindi's two rows of big white teeth were still quite bright. "This was almost ten years ago."

——Of course it's not as long as ten years, it's just that there is no concept of time in Meteor Street.

"Ten years ago?" The intelligence personnel never minded the type of information, and the knight seemed to ask unintentionally, "He only looks about ten years old?"

"Probably what is the ability to read?" About this point, Wo Jin is not clear, "When I first met Nobunaga and Hotaru, he hasn't changed at all."

Before the knight could continue to ask, Wo Jin teased, "Speaking of which, isn't he the hunter who kicked you out? You should have checked the information, right?"

The knight's smile faltered. These guys are not too serious to watch the excitement. When he went to the exam, he never thought that he would be rejected. Naturally, he didn't keep it secret.That's why he is now being ridiculed one by one by this group of gossip guys.

"I've looked it up," said the knight, holding his face and suppressing the look in his eyes, "but I couldn't find any information from more than five years ago."

There is only one kind of person in this society who can't find any information at all, that is, the Meteor Street people who have been abandoned from the beginning without any information.

"Although that guy came out of Meteor Street, there is no doubt about it." Wo Jin heard the subtext, grinning his teeth, "He was never from Meteor Street."

"You really like him."

"Because he's very appetizing!" Wojin's eyes are bright, and most of the strengthening department don't hesitate to decide, and they keep moving forward even if they hit the south wall and don't look back.

——As a result, nothing was asked.The knight sighed with a helpless expression, but he was not surprised.

Wo Jin looks very innocent, but if it is something he does not want to tell others, even if it is death, he will never say a word.

It seems that these things have to be checked slowly by themselves.

The head of the regiment has always been very laissez-faire with the members. As long as he does not do anything that endangers the brigade, Kuroro will not care about murder and arson or charitable donations.

For now, although Hotaru is a bounty hunter, he has no chance of winning against all members of the brigade.

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

On the other side, the positions of Nobunaga and Hotaru.

"Why do I feel like you are going around in circles?" Nobunaga shrugged his shoulders, looking very sleepy, as if he would fall to the ground and fall asleep if he didn't pay attention.

"No...?" Hotaru asked uncertainly.

"So where are you going?" Nobunaga didn't plan to sneak around with Yingwan, he and Wojin knew best how ignorant the other party was.

"I don't know either." Hotaru smiled and said, "It's just my, friend? You have something to do with me."

"That bug?" Nobunaga glanced at the firefly and snorted mockingly.

"Don't worry." Hotaru tugged on Nobunaga's clothes, the other party's habit of wearing kimono has not changed, so at this moment Hotaru easily grabbed the other party. "Long time no see, how are you doing?"

"That's it, what else can I do." Nobunaga crossed his arms and folded his arms, with a cold expression, "It's even more unpleasant outside than I imagined."

"Is that so?" Hotaru can subtly understand Nobunaga's mood. After all, after staying in Meteor Street for a long time, he has to rely on robbing for everything, and he will die if he doesn't get stronger.It was completely different from the extremely peaceful life he was living outside Meteor Street now.

Maybe those people who came out of Meteor Street will experience this period of time.It's just that Hotaru couldn't empathize.

"I feel like it's almost there." Hotaru stretched out his hand, letting the little firefly, who seemed a little tired from flying, rest in his palm.

After walking forward in a straight line for less than 5 minutes, Hotaru watched the scene in front of him and opened his eyes wide.The little bug that had stayed in Yingwan's hand flew up again and returned to its partner.

Innumerable tiny fluorescent green light spots shone before Hotaru's eyes, illuminating the originally dark boundary as bright as day.

——This is a paradise of vines and fireflies.

The intertwined vines, as well as the dense flowers and plants, seem to separate this area from the others, forming a natural green maze.

The little dots of firefly green also provide light for this maze.

The little fireflies seemed a little confused when Hotaru and Nobunaga appeared.

But then, they circled around the firefly, like a guide, all the fireflies gathered together, providing a direction for the firefly with their own light.

Nobunaga and Hotaru looked at each other. Hotaru didn't think that Firefly would hurt him, but Nobunaga was based on his confidence in his own strength.The two of them walked in that direction without any hesitation.

The further in, Hotaru wanted to marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature. Before reaching the end, Hotaru and Nobunaga paused, because both of them felt a strong and dangerous atmosphere.

But at the same time, the fireflies seemed even more anxious.Feeling the urging from these little creatures, Hotaru frowned slightly, and said to Nobunaga, "Wait here, I'll go in first."

Nobunaga glanced at Hotaru, and the movement of his feet stopped. "I'll give you 10 minutes."

"Okay—" Hotaru nodded with a smile, and continued to walk forward with the fireflies.

This time, it didn't take long for Hotaru to see the existence that made him feel dangerous.

—Yes, a dragon.

——A seriously injured, almost exactly the same as the western dragon in Hotaru's concept, with two huge lizard creatures like bat wings.
