Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

"...So, Alan didn't actually have a girlfriend, but our son has a boyfriend?"

Dorothy stopped reading and put on a posture of having a small family meeting. Ulik also shifted his position when he realized that his wife was casting a spell and suspected that he was going to turn his house into a high-defense secret meeting room. , and sat down beside his wife.

The tall man leaned against Dorothy, as if he was a loyal bodyguard following her side.

By the time he extracted the important information from Allen's speech and realized that the gender of his "daughter-in-law" might not be the same as he thought before, Allen's words had already entered the second link—explaining to his parents that Eli's voice was damaged It's just a cover, claiming that Eli's inconvenience to speak is just to better pretend to be a woman and cover up her real voice.

"Yes, boyfriend." Dorothy took the words from her husband for Alan, and she turned to Ulic, "Do you think there is a problem with this?"

"..." Ulik paused very subtly. He had the illusion that his wife was threatening him with a smile, and intuitively felt that if he thought there was a problem with this, then most of the "problematic" children would not have any problems. The price is that he himself may encounter big problems because of "problem speaking".

"Of course there is no problem." Said the good husband who is always very flexible in front of his wife, and this was indeed his true thought.

In this world of the ABO six-sex classification system, whether a person's sexual orientation is male or female is not a question worth making a fuss about.

Even a female Alpha can easily overwhelm a male Omega, forming a "husband and wife" relationship that is completely opposite to that of a husband and wife. My son only likes a person of the same sex. What's the big deal?

The fundamental factor that made Ulic feel emotional was not Eli's gender, but the reason why the other party had to conceal his gender, and...he felt that the name "Eli" seemed familiar.

"Eli."

"Yes?"

When Allen's father called his name for the first time, Eli didn't know why, so he briefly met the other party's eyes across the coffee table, and suddenly realized that the other party wasn't really calling him. Said that the other party was confirming his name.

Sure enough, soon after he responded, a thoughtful expression appeared in the man's eyes.

Eli heard the other party confirm again: "Eli Egbert?"

Anduru Valley is a little far from the central area of ​​Theodor border, but it is not a place that is "remote".

There are not many permanent residents here, and the number of people in the land is small, which does not mean that the news here is not smooth, and there is little communication with the outside world.

Eli Egbert, an evil dark creature that has been expelled from Angelo, pretends to be a human being as an undead and mixes into human settlements. He is suspected of brewing a big conspiracy and continues to flee after escaping from the border of Angelo Yu Theodore finally disappeared at the intersection of Theodore and the Abyss Forest, and it seems that he has successfully fled back to Karbi's undead camp.

——Of course the residents of Anduru Valley also know the above information.

Eli's hands stiffened involuntarily.

Even though the elder on the opposite side didn't continue to say anything, he could roughly understand the meaning hidden under the confirmation of the name.

And before the temperature of his fingertips receded, Eli felt that his fingers were gently caressed twice, and the hand that had been with him since he went downstairs was still covering the back of his hand, and did not move. He let go, so the owner of the other party can know his emotional changes at the first time, and comfort him silently from the small movements of the body.

"An Qiluo has issued a household registration cancellation notice, and 'Eli Egbert' is now a name that cannot be found." Allen held Eli's hand and said quietly, "If you Don't worry if you think there is something wrong with this name, he should change it soon."

Ulic: "..."

The son's tone was very light, as if it was really just a small problem with the name, he heard a certain kind of determination from this seemingly plain reply, and couldn't help rubbing his temples: "This means that you have to pretend to be unmarried all the way. The reason for the husband and wife?"

It was Dorothy who answered the conversation: "Obviously." The wife and mother who had an absolute position to speak at home said, "I believe in Ellen."

Ulik could only let go of the hand rubbing his temple, and raised the other hand as well.

His wife has already stood on the same front as his son. As the last in the family, his best choice at present is to obey the majority, and then listen carefully to why his son made this choice.

"Thank you."

As the party favored by the "dominant family", Allen showed a smile to his mother, first thanked the other party for her trust sincerely, and then changed his voice, telling the story of his and Eli's reunion in Wende Town After sorting it out, I told my parents as concisely as possible.

Of course, in this "telling", not all the content of the experience can be disclosed openly.

After listening to this "truncated version" of Allen's adventures, for a moment neither of the couples sitting on the opposite sofa spoke.

They exchanged a long look at each other, and then looked at the son sitting in front of him, who was still holding hands with Eli.

"You know exactly what you're doing, and you're sure that's what you want, and you have the awareness to bear the consequences, right?" Dorothy asked.

And Ulik's words followed her closely: "Whether the consequences are good or bad, will the identified objects and paths bring risks?"

Allen nodded: "I understand, I'm sure."

He added: "I will try my best to avoid risks, and if I can't avoid them, I will bear them together. As long as the result is not 100% pointing to the bad side, I will find a way to make it closer to the good side."

In such a family conversation between parents and children, Eli was somewhat unable to intervene, so he could only hold Alan's hand subconsciously.

Alan's eyes fell on the parents opposite, as if he was concentrating on communicating with his parents, but Eli could feel from the fingers that immediately clasped back that the other party also kept a focus on him all the time, silently using small movements Send him a message of reassurance.

The end result of this conversation is undoubtedly good.

Although Ulik was a bit worried about his son's choice, he was also relieved that his son had a bit of his own demeanor when he was young, he was his own, and he could bravely hold on to the person he identified.

Dorothy made it clear from the very beginning that she was on Allen's side, and that she was more concerned about whether Allen clearly knew what he was doing and what he wanted than the person her son chose might cause a little trouble. It is really identifying someone from the heart rather than out of sympathy or other "impulse" emotions.

As long as it was confirmed that Eli was indeed liked by Alan, and that Alan did not confuse other feelings with love, Dorothy supported her son's love career with confidence, and helped her figure out what to do. To avoid unnecessary risks, it is up to Eli to successfully naturalize himself.

"correct."

After almost completely solving the difficulty of "meeting parents", Alan has not forgotten the cottage he and Eli went to before returning home.

He asked his mother for help: "Has that house always been there? I should have run to the back of the mountain many times when I was a child, but when I got there, I really didn't have much impression. I didn't realize that it was already there. Arrived around the back mountain."

After meeting Dorothy by accident, this question floated in Alan's mind, but there were more things occupying his mind at that time. He had to pay attention to the first meeting between Eli and his parents, and the reaction of his parents. Lai's attitude... This question was unknowingly suppressed until he could no longer worry about certain things. At this moment, it was like a fish that sank to the bottom at first, and it quietly swam up from the bottom again, and for a moment instantly caught his attention.

Little Alan was full of curiosity about this new world when he was young. He felt that the child's body was embedded with an adult soul, and he was quite confident in his ability to go out.

Not to mention the back mountain, with the location of their home as the center, almost the entire valley is covered with his footprints, even the "dangerous zone" that the elders agree is not easy to take risks, relying on his innate ability to control expressions , He also sneaked to see it, and after returning home, he told a perfect lie without blushing and breathing, and successfully covered up his "skin behavior".

That deserted house has distinct features, even if you can't remember its specific location, as long as you have seen it once, you shouldn't have no impression of it at all.

However, when Alan and Eli first saw it, he was sure that the house was completely unfamiliar to him. It was as if he had noticed for the first time that there was another house like this around his house, and he had no memory of seeing it before. impression.

This is not quite right.

"It has always been here." Dorothy looked a little confused when she heard Alan's question, "You did run to the back of the mountain a lot when you were a child, and the wild fruit forest you often go to is also in that building. Near the house, how come you have no impression of it at all?"

But he really didn't have any impression at all-this sentence was not said by Allen, he vaguely realized something, but the feeling was fleeting, and slipped away quickly before being caught by him.

He pondered for a moment, then changed the question: "Then how much impression do you have of that room?"

"I?"

Dorothy moved to the Anduru Valley after she and Ulic formally got married. This is the future residence they chose together, and this place does meet their hopes for life. The environment is comfortable and not so noisy. , without cutting off the connection with the outside world too much. There are small towns and teleportation circles to farther places around, so travel is quite convenient.

Suddenly being asked by her son about the long-abandoned hut in the back mountain, Dorothy wondered for a second why Alan had no impression of that house at all, but when she asked about herself, she was also taken aback for a moment.

"I remember that it should have been there for a long time. It seems that it has become an empty house before your father and I moved in... No, there seemed to be people there when Ulik and I first got married. I greeted each other, and the people there The owner of the house is a girl who looks about the same age as me."

Having said that, Dorothy shut her mouth, and her brows frowned.

Allen asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's a bit strange." Dorothy said, "I've never thought about this question in the past, and subconsciously felt that no one lived there for a long time, but when you asked about it, I seemed to have another memory, I remember saying hello to the owner."
